You set up a diarama with your Breyer horse and try to make it look as realistic as possible. You can either do it in person or send in the picture to get it judged....they give out awards and everything!
now you are giving me hints maybe I will try my hand!

That isn't considered cheating is it Jess? I hope I'm not tempting you to CHEAT!! ;)
I still don't really know what you are talking about sweetie! ???
Here's another little idea for taking pictures. If you don't wish to spend upwards of $100.00 or more on muslins (and who really wants to, right?) you can use inexpensive poster board for photographing smaller items, such as flower arrangements, figurines, etc. I bought 4 sheets of poster board at Wal-Mart for 57 cents each and they work perfectly well in most situations. And what is really nice about the Wal-Mart poster board is the sheets come in two colors! My blue sheet is dark blue on one side and light blue on the other! And my yellow sheet is red on the other side.
They are quite flimsy though, so you may need to use a piece of wood to help support them. But at 57 cents, I really can't complain too much! :)
Look over the poster boards carefully before you purchase them. My white poster board has a small crease near the left hand side that runs nearly the full length of the sheet and it shows up in most of my pictures.
For about a $1.50 more, you can purchase higher quality poster boards at craft stores such as Michael's. :D

Hi Artiste!! Yes, I have more. I will post them as I think of them. I'm hoping others have useful and helpful ideas too! We could all learn from each other.
Do you own a camera Artiste? If so, is it digital or film and what brand and model of camera do you have? I really love Canon cameras. My first Canon was a film SLR I bought when I was a teenager. Now I own a couple of Canon digital cameras. I also have a Sony digital and it's quite good too. :D
