Toy Photography - From Transformers to Non-Transformers

Great custom Dead End and great pics loopy! (the camera's not too bad either :p)

My singular contribution for this evening:

I thought i'd share some photos of a 1/6 figure i created. Inspired by Ashley woods World war robot Grunts and the Commanders, I created this guy i've nicknamed Sgt Frosty (snow camo and all) It would've been cheaper to buy one of teh WWR figures, but i like him a lot =]

I like this one a lot even though the light kinda covers his torso a bit, it kinda remind me of someone photoing after a gun fight with smoke and haze.

I'd love to hear some feedback =]

My pic for this evening before I head out:

Dkaris, I love that 3rd photo with the smoke effect. Looks like a real person dressed up. Nice lighting effects too!

was having another play around with the camera and came up with these.

what have you guys used for the black backgrounds cause they look really good

Those Stunticons look fantastic mate, well done with Wildrider, the "sad" photo does look pretty damn cool.

@VP: Holy S*** dude! - I'm damn loving those Mindwipe pics man, they're friggin' awesome! :eek::cool:
@Accel: Those are some excellent shots of yet another of those Camera caressing Bugmen! - More I say, More! :D
@Deceptic: I like your suggestion quite a bit dude, a creative pic a day? - I'll have to see if I can come up with something. ;):cool:
@Loopy: Deadend = Awesomesauce, as does Exgraver and the Stunticons! :eek::cool:
@Dkaris: Man, that smoke effect looks absolutely perfect man!, well done as that is an excellent photo! :eek::D

Result of some boredom... first attempt at photographing toys.

It's a father and son kind of moment

I'm not very good at posing my toys, and my voyager Ironhide just likes to fall over all the time.

And a bonus, the Stig.

I don't use a light tent/box - my basic setup is pretty straight forward.

A black towel placed on a table top and one behind the subject - object is illuminated by normal fluorescent household lighting.

The rest is careful tweaking and experimentation with camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, etc).

Beautiful pics there Jena - the Ironhide ones would look sensational if they were put into some dynamic action poses.
