[QUOTE=Rick]I shoot almost all my shots with a lamp without the shade hanging upside down from a nail on the floor joists above my dio table and pull up or down depending on what time of day and angle of shadow I'm lookong for.[QUOTE]

It sounds like the bulb hanging from the ceiling is basically a "stand-in" for the sun in your 1:18 scale adventures. Cool idea!

Also, I agree with snakeling's guess on how the photo in question was lit.
