Since the pandemic began, I've found joy in taking diecast photos. They've allowed me to both go outside and be creative with color edits.

There are tons of photos I haven't edited, but I'll share a few favorites here. If they brought me joy, maybe they can do the same for you!
Colors on colors on colors:
This Lotus is actually yellow. Oops!
These come courtesy of my stovetop and a couple of trips through Photoshop:
As do these! (Also, sorry again to the color yellow, which I just keep editing to other colors?)
I've shared how I did this before, but: I took the original photo and edited it for color, then I cut the car out and blanketed it in black.

I popped it back in Lightroom to adjust shadows on the reflection and bam, harsh lines were gone! Then I made the car pink, as one does.
Anyway, if you're bored, I suggest going wild with some $5 diecasts.

I use a dinosaur Canon T3i and what my spouse calls a "shit lens" for these photos and the ones in my reviews, and I like the challenge of making them good. Costly gear is great, but not necessary to have fun!
