Cheers Gantz, can you tell which TF character I tend to favour? :p:cool:
The one up the back of everyone mate is Cybertron Soundwave;
A pretty darn cool figure and an interesting take on old 'Chrasimatic' himself :D - IMO, he's probably the design insperation behind the new Transformers: Prime Soundwave too! ;):cool:

Cheers dude! :D
Yeah, energy saving bulbs and photography at circa 1:00am aren't necessarily a good combination, for me anyway. :p

Well, my photographic abilities are nowhere near as advanced as some of you other guys, but I put a few up in the action pose thread, which I've copied to here as well:

Thanks mate - been playing around with the various settings on the camera to take better pics, but still have a long way to go (probably will require better camera equipment to achieve any further improvement though :p)

Yeah, I'm a massive fan of these two molds since one turns into the car I have and the other turns into the car I want (plus they both look totally badass in bot mode too) ;)

Noted. Will go hunting for a mini-tripod and some white lights :D

500kw preferred but can go lower. make sure you dont directly used the white light at the figure to prevent glare. once white light is acquired make sure you dont used flash on your camera

Thanks for the advice mate.

I've been taking pics with the flash off and the macro setting on - I might experiment with the timer setting too (to obtain more stable shots in the interim).

But yeah, I think lighting is something I really need to look into (and if I start getting serious about photography, maybe even investing in an SLR :D)

Thanks Hursty!

Hahaha... just been practicing and experimenting with different camera settings and lighting, but thanks for the compliments.

So I guess in another few hours, I'll be the stock photographer for Hasbro/TakTomy? :p

Cheers dude. :D

Unfortunately overexposure on that last shot wasn't what i was going for and I'm not too sure why but Close shots of Scourge on a white background never seem to work out too well for me, I think it may have something to do with my camera being about 7-8 years old now - It's Digital but it's quality wasn't even measured in Megapixel's at the time. :p

I don't know, maybe it's also got something to do with the Blue/White spectrum of colours as the only other primary colour present in the pic is a tiny bit of red? :confused:

I see how about try black or even just a plain dark background maybe that could work. what ive learnt so far is its not the camera that makes the photographer its the style and how they used it and different ways they use there lighting and background.

That makes a lot of sense actually dude, light on dark and dark on light - So I might give that a go next time and you are right, it's certainly not the camera that makes the photographer but the eye of the beholder. ;):)

You can usefor cheap backgrounds those colored big craft papers, comes in various colors just lay it on the standing area and half rising as the background you'll get a smooth background gradation...:)

Whilst I still have a long way to go before I catch up with Deceptic_Optic, my partner in crime, Agent Meister and I have been experimenting with different lighting and background. :p

A different approach now using white background not really sure if im happy with this shots, maybe content is a better word for it. maybe i should stay with black background? :confused:
