Miniature photography - random stuff edition #1

In this little series I share ideas on how to do miniature photography with h0 scale railroad figures.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in this big world when you’re 2 cm tall? Today I share a behind the scènes with you on how to photograph these tiny figures. Except for the guy on the globe, I didn’t used a macro lens for this, just a normal 18-135mm lens.

Where to buy these miniature figures?
Local craftstores or stores for train model diorama’s may sell these. Otherwise, you might take a look at the websites below. (They are NOT sponsored and NOT affiliate links.)

Europe: https://marnan.eu/
USA: https://models11.com/index.php

If you don’t find what you want on these sites, or they don’t ship to your country, you can search for them online. These are h0 scale, or 1:87 scale figures. The three main brands are Preiser, Noch and Faller. Be careful with the cheap ones on sites like Amazon and AliExpress, because the cheap ones may have a melted look and a very bad paintjob.
