Dinky Toys photography specials

As soon as the last quarter of the year has come I start selecting nice pictures and photographs for my private Dinky Toys calendar for the next year. So I started gathering images from my files last week and - using the omnipresent software for making albums, cards, calendars etc. - I composed my new private calendar for the year to come, 2016. I got a surprisingly quick message that the copies I ordered were waiting for me and they arrived this afternoon. It is always exciting to see how the results from the computer screen have materialized on paper, and I must say that I am not disappointed. I made some quick photos and thought you might like them to be shared with you. In fact they are photos from photos, so this extra step introduces some noise in the quality of the pictures. All about 'the making of' my annual private calendar in an article published by Model Collector, the January issue of this year, 2015, pp 48-53. Enjoy and kind regards, Jan

Always lovely images Jan....very nicely done; I can only imagine how nice the actual calendar must be.Regards, Terry

This one deserves a place in the photography specials corner in my opinion. Done with my new camera, and I am quite happy with the result:
