Location
I took this photo at home, it is a composite. The boathouse model was taken on the billiard table because of the plain green surface and I made a backdrop out of white card to remove the household distractions. The other is a sunset photo taken locally.Time
For the model, I took the photos during the day when there was natural light coming into the house which helped to eliminate shadows.Lighting
The lighting was also good as there were not a lot of shadows as I didn’t need any overhead lights on.Equipment
I used my iPhone 6 for each photo, using just the natural app. I did not use a tripod for either.Inspiration
I had been doing a course in iPhone photography with the iPhone Photo Academy and Emil was covering some editing techniques and different apps that were available. My son had just finished making a model of Terry Pratchett's Unseen University from the Disc World Books and I thought it would be fun to take photos of it and see if I could add some realism to them. The Boathouse is my favourite image.Editing
There is a lot of post-processing. I cropped and tweaked in Snapseed and used TouchRetouch to remove some unnecessary background things. I used DistressedFX to create colour and mood into the Boathouse. Reflect for the water and reflection. LensLight for the sun and light off the corner of the boathouse. Superimpose to add the background sunset.In my camera bag
My iPhone, I now have the iPhoneX which is even better.Feedback
Have fun and experiment!
