Thanks Ron

Well done Erik, and I am also glad you are back posting here

Thank you John, I am trying to avoid the forums a little. I was spending way too much time on them 

A trip to the farmers market.

Yes... This is our small groups sectional layout. 

It's breathtaking, Erik. 

Beautiful! I really like the way the shadows look and the power lines.

  That's some very inspirational modeling and photography, I'm going to have to give the dirt in the tractor tires a try! 

As outstanding as ever, Erik. Besides the great modeling and equally skillful photography, your use of lighting really sells it. One needs not even squint to be convinced. I always look forward to your posts, they illustrate what is truly possible. Can you share some overview shots?

Thank you Jon,

Its all in the wrist. ;-)

I don't know where to start to explain any kind of process. I shoot where it feels right... Sometime I get lucky most of the time they are clunkers.

As photographers and illustrators all we do is chase light.. In a figurative sense. Or photographic.

Daily arrival of the Burlington Trailways bus.

New 53 Fords arriving tonight into Longview. 

He's crashed into the bin, Erik. 

Hi Max, that 53 Ford is parked out front of the McD's he's not crashed. 

Maybe he is ! ��

Toy Man television did a YouTube about it. There's a site "That's Cool Wire" that sells it. A bit tricky to work with but yields nice results. The site link is here.

Erik, Very keen attention to detail, not only to make the scene seem real, but ensure the lighting helps set the whole shot in place. 

Hey ya thanks Mike! 

Fantastic!

Quel régal!
