Very nice figure (expensive too!), although I think the pic could do with more evenly distributed lighting and his head could be more in focus (since the focal point seems to be his blade weapon, unless that's what you were going for?)

Maybe try playing around with different focal points adjustments?

I can't decide between the last 2 pics. One was exposed for 6 secs and the other 8 seconds. First has better reflections but the second has better saturation.

That's a beautiful Iron Man figure mate - I like the first and the last pic since the colour saturation makes him look more 'realistic' and the colours really make him stand out. :)

I couldn't be stuffed taking any toy pics today, so here's one from my inventory - yet another one of Chun Li:

Cheers VP. I think 7 seconds would have been ideal. I really need to have some kind of setup up where I can preview the shots on my notebook screen as I take them.

Nice pics VP and Optics!

@gamblor916 I personally prefer the second one (8 sec), the saturation really makes it. All those shots are fan-freakin-tastic though, nice work!

When in doubt, shoot a few pics with varying shutter and aperture settings and then pick out the best one later when you view the images on a bigger screen.

I find that the standard screen on the camera (as good as it is) can sometimes give you the impression that the photo looks fine, only for you to find out the photo doesn't look the same when displayed on a bigger screen.

The other alternative is to purchase a HDMI (Type C to Type A) cable and have it connected out the side of the camera to a display whilst you're taking the pics so that you can check and view them as you go along (this option is a major pain in the arse though ;))

Thanks Jena. The darker pics are the 6 seconds exposures.

I'm doing just that. Using a tripod so each shot is the same really helps.

Haha, oops, you knew what I meant.:p

That pic is insane mate - it looks ultra realistic!

Well done. :)

Love that predator pic!
