Hi Vermin King: the purpose of the poles is exactly that, anywhere. But I think I tilted them too much. After checking photo references I noticed they are a littel croocked on Motif #1 pier, but that is the powerful efect of the ocean.
I'm paying hard for not having done my homework beforehand. And yes, Dan Boose, that's a windy day. The idea came from last saturday trip on a ferry crossing the river Tagus (the river bordering Lisboa).

The final touches: ladders on the pier side, white foam on the waves and the winches with cables on the masts.

More photos...
I had the sun on my back and on the model whilst painting the foam. The medium gel shining like the sea on a late afternoon. That gave the idea of trying these shots as if flying low, maybe on a tiny Piper Cub...

Then back to the studio...
I'm shooting under LED lights. I had recently installed some to replace fluorescent lights. Instead of 56W I spend only 16W. The temperature of the light is okay live, but I have the impression that the photos now are slightly cooler. I mean blueish.

Hi Vermin King:
Never used the trick of holding a model in my hand, but there's no doubt it is very eficient. Your comment is proof of that. Thank you.

Hi Carlos, very nice little idyll you made there. Nice and small. I can almost hear the sea lapping against that pier. The colour of the water is bang on.
That acrylic gel stuff indeed is great to use for dioramas. I used it on a Mercury capsule / helicopter pickup diorama a while ago. I also like what you used for a base. I seem to be a bit stuck with my habit of using old picture frames as a platform.

Hi Paper Kosmonaut: I also used picture frames before, but started feeling stuck to the same dimensions. On the other hand I like to accent the verticallity of the frame, as I just sliced a piece of the world and behold to it with no decoration to distract.
Medium gel is a great... medium. I liked very much your work with the Mercury capsule, I remmeber when you posted it. Rgds Carlos

Beautiful work, as usual! I also liked seeing your hand in there, it really gives scale. As far as the poles in the water, I live in New England and those poles are all over the place, they are only vertical when they are first put it! A nice slice of life you have there.
