I agree with John that outdoor lighting is the best, this is my favorite
shot from the Outlet Store show:

I know it's not an impressive MOC or anything but I just like the shot,
simple foreground subject, nice mini-fig working in the back, then a set of
hoppers in the distance. I think the lighting and the angle really make this
a nice picture.
