Our thanks to Caldey who sent into Everything Dinosaur photographs of two of her dinosaur models outdoors.  These dinosaur figures are enjoying the sunshine.  One of the figures, the CollectA Deluxe Ruyangosaurus dinosaur model is feeding on a conifer.  The photographer has carefully considered the composition.  The camera is looking down at the figure to enable most of the model to be included in the shot.   The contrast between the areas in direct sunlight and the areas in shade add depth and interest.  The sauropods head is shaded by the fir, indicating that it is feeding on the tree canopy. The body far below is sunlit.

The CollectA Deluxe Ruyangosaurus Model

The CollectA Ruyangosaurus model has a declared scale of 1:100.  It was introduced into the CollectA Deluxe range in 2023.

To view the range of CollectA Deluxe figures in stock: CollectA Deluxe Models.

Ruyangosaurus (R. giganteus) was formally named and described in 2009 (Lü et al). It roamed eastern China in the Early Cretaceous. Size estimates vary, but this sauropod could have measured in excess of thirty metres in length. It is one of the largest Cretaceous dinosaurs known from Asia.

Photographing Armoured Dinosaurs

The second photograph we received features a Haolonggood armoured dinosaur. The figure has been carefully placed amongst some succulents.  It looks as if this herbivorous dinosaur is feeding on the plants.

The photographer has captured the vibrancy and detail of the figure. Photographing this dinosaur model in the warm sunshine brings it life and the colours of the model are brought into perspective. The garden has been turned into a person’s very own “Jurassic Park”, a prehistoric wonderland filled with imagination and creativity.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur congratulated Caldey on her choice of model and composition selection.

He added:

“Our thanks to Caldey for emailing these wonderful images to us.  Some dinosaurs feeding in the spring sunshine.  Seeing these photographs made our day.”
