Basically, the diorama was finished but I sat at the computer thinking that it needed something else. First of all, that all-purpose backdrop I painted seven years ago and used for so many other photo shoots, just wasn't working for me.
Looks nice enough, but for me doesn't evoke 'old west' quite yet
Through the years Bettina and I have taken a gazillion photos of the desert here in Nevada. This particular photo of Boulder City and the Lake Mead area, is actually fairly recent. It'll make a good 'nuff background.
Using Photoshop, I cut out the old backdrop
That's it! That's the look I'm after - yay!
I layered Bettina's photo behind the town and voila' Old West town
More to follow - finishing up in our next installment.
Enjoy! Opa Fritz
