I enjoy shooting photos on my layout, but the low, artificial light results in grainy blow-ups.

This sturdy diorama is what I need to shoot in natural, indirect light. I can remove the foam and pose structures, or stage rolling stock/locos on the track when I use the foam layer.

I like my auto settings, so the camera decides on exposure. This means the backdrop must be dark enough to force the camera into slowing the shudder speed enough to expose the subject properly. I talk more about it on my blog page.

Comparisons between low-light and natural light images Show a big difference. The outdoor shots appear much, much crisper.
