BTS Herodiade and La Bomba (Patreon)

I feel this image has failed a bit, but if you haven’t been there, it’s hard to understand:

In the video, check out the people hiking up the slope. The “bomba” rock in the middle ground is probably 4m/13’ tall, and it doesn’t look it. And the volcano is likely 250m/750’ tall, give or take.

The problem is perspective: You can move the rock in relation to the volcano, so the only way of getting scale is placing the model right next to the Bomb, but then she will become tiny if you want the full volcano in. Or move much further away, and have the model in the foreground, but then the volcano and Bombs look tiny.

I’m going there again in April, so perhaps I’ll have another go and see if I can find a better solution.

However, with the Image I created, I had the problem that I didn’t want the model to stand and look pretty in front of a volcano, I wanted her integrated into the scene, so I tried having her hold some brimstone from the volcano.

Again watch the video, and you will understand the conundrum.
