It's not even fair how cool that set is man! The shots are great and I can't believe nobody else is showing up for the lovefest in here! This is has been such an excellent tutorial and I would think, incredibly helpful to so many. A work of art, man. Pure and simple.

Thank you for your words of support.

My 2 cents...
 

That is just awesome. I liked how you were able to include the family in on it's building.

Cheers! :)

I know this has been up for awhile, but it took me awhile to get around to it. Dizzam... The set itself isn't all that impressive BUT what you do with lighting, extra foliage and the action (in the close-ups) works wonders. I used to be able to do magical things when pulled in tight but I seem to have forgotten the art of MANIPULATING the photos. :o The work is awesome and I might just have to try some of that... Course, I also like to go outdoors for my shots too! hahahahahahahaaaaaaa *cough cough*

Thanks Sgt_DP!

I started creating the dios mainly to spend time with my son; learning how to be creative. It's a great way to bond with your kids while having 80's flash-backs ;-)

I posted the how-to's probably because I like to share and collaborate. Our family are not local, so it's been a good way for them to see the process in action.

Cheers! ~ Paul.

Thanks for the tips man, I love the pics and your dios.
