Let us imagine you just obtained a diecast model car that you have been longing for. What do you do? Isn’t it obvious? You let everyone who shares your passion know of your recent acquisition. What would be the best way to do this? With an amazing, clear, up close photograph, of course. But wait, how do you accomplish this? Macro photography or more simply put, close-up photography. If you follow the simple steps laid out in this article, you too can have photographs that others will envy.
We will start with the most important part of the photograph, the subject. In this scenario, we’ll say it is a Franklin diecast model car. You want to make sure that the diecast car takes up as much of the frame as possible. If you don’t get the shot tight enough, you will just have another picture of a car, and what is to envy about that? You also want to make sure you don’t get too tight or you will end up with a great picture of the door. We are taking a picture of the whole diecast model car, right!?
Next, let us focus on the background. You want this Franklin diecast model car to stand out. Do not fill the background with other cars from your collection or anything else that will take away from the star of the photograph – the diecast model car. You will also need to have a backdrop of some kind. Grey works best and generally, you should use either a cloth backdrop or a poster board with a slight bend in it.

Collection of diecast vehicles is a wide and varied hobby. It can mean different things to different people. Some collect them for the sheer fun of it while others use them to engage in auctions and sales to earn good money off them.
Miniature model cars began in the 1920s.They first appeared in America and England. Much unlike what we see today, the early models were made of alloys with high lead content, hardly able to last for a long time. They would rust, and eventually crack. They were also made of painted shells. Production technology at that time was also unable to produce model cars to a high level of detail. Soon, manufacturers start looking at these as a good opportunity. They start mass-producing model cars, trucks, boats, lorries and so on, and in good quality materials and an eye for details. There was a great leap in popularity and production of diecast cars in the 1950s.
Increasingly, die cast vehicles were directed at the collectors’ market. Even corporations start seeing the value of having their trademarks on vehicles. Such companies include Coca-Cola and Sears.

Who doesn’t know diecast cars? Long a staple of the American childhood, diecast cars represent more than a hobby. They hold the memories of a generation that grew up on Redlines, Snakes, Mongooses, Hi-Rakers, and Mattel’s 20th anniversary silver and gold chrome cars edition.
But owning a diecast BMW does not necessarily make you an expert on all things miniature and well-cared for. That’s no way to treat your miniature! Here are a few tips that will help ensure you keep your diecast BMW in tiptop shape.
Prevent fading. Colors fade in time. The best way to keep your unit’s color as vivid as possible as long as possible is to keep it out of the sunlight. Not only does it fade colors, it also warps the plastic.
Ditch duct. But the best way to protect it from dust is to put it inside a display case. When you store it inside one, you won’t have to give your cars a wiping often.
This is perhaps the easiest tip of all time. Do not destroy your car’s packaging. As a matter of fact, if you intend to sell your vehicle at some point, keep it in its original package. That way, you help it retain its value.
Avoid cleaning decals. If you do, you might rub out the details… and those are as much a part of your diecast BMW as its distinctive wheels.
Enjoy your collection!
