Under the stars - a photo on Flickriver

Under the stars

            The figure is a 1/6 scale SR-71 Black Bird flight engineer made by Damtoys.  I set up a diorama using area dirt and vegatation and shot it using forced perspective with the trees and stars in the background.

I've been doing star photography in landscapes and shooting the Milky Way, but adding miniatures closer to the camera was a new challenge. It was necessary to do some focus stacking to get both the figure and the stars in focus, but other than that, a practical shot using forced perspective.
