Navigating in scenes

gitika1

I would appreciate some tips in navigating and positioning cameras in (what seem to me) small scenes.  I am currently working with Santa's workshop, but find that I can't seem to place/position the camera in a way to actually take in a worthwhile portion of the scene.  It most often seems that I need to "back up" more with my camera, but that is not possible without exiting the building.  So in the end, it looks like I am sitting in kissing distance of the objects rather than in the corner of the room.

Thank you for your time and help!

If you are rendering in Iray you can add an Iray Section Palne (from the Create menu) which will hide everything in front of the plane at render time.
