I've learned a lot from the internet on how to create these diorama settings.
For example, I created a cyclorama light to light up the background photo by glueing an LCD strip to a piece of foamcore. If you buy from Amazon, be sure to also buy the little remote control so you can raise or lower the light in relationship to your foreground lighting.
Earlier on a trip to Texas, I took a photo of a cloudy sky as I stood on a wide open space so I could get the clouds as they converge in the distance. I photo enhanced the image, then uploaded it to Walmart. They'll print an 8" x 20" photo, usually same day turnaround.
To get enough depth of field, you really need a camera with manual settings. I usually shoot at f.22 from 8 to 15 seconds.
A lot of you are much more expert at this than I am, so here's a big Thank You for sharing your techniques.
