No

What day was the photo taken? 

Tues 6th April 2010

Photo Description 

Plaster 1920s style Figurine and Vintage 1940s style Indian Motorcycle Diecast model.Both Models speak of a bye gone era.The Female is dressed circa 1920s and puts me in mind of a "Flapper" a 1920s dancer,The model of Motorcycle was made around 2007 of a 1947 "Block Engine" Indian though I could be corrected as that information is second hand.

Lessons Learned 

  • Fine tune D.O.F to have back ground still recognizable.
  • Any dust on such a small subject is very noticeable.
  • Lighting need not be very complicated (or expensive) for a good effect.
  • Using a kitchen bench,Freezer Top or Computer desk to stage your photography will result in those areas being needed immediately or life as I know it could cease.
