Try as one may, one can never capture the full gloriousness of Lugnut - there just isn't a camera (or photographer) out there capable of the task! :p

I love the look of this guy, so I thought I'd take some happy snaps. Enjoy.

We want to make this thread stand.Quote:

I really like the changes in depth of field, and focal distance. the last shot is like you've just woken up and the first thing you focus on is a big gun with a blurry face in the distance.
What sort of camera did you get mate?Quote:

Great custom Dead End and great pics loopy! (the camera's not too bad either :p)
My singular contribution for this evening:
http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/a...9/IMG_2842.jpg
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 =]
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...DSC_0071-1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC_0072.jpg
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.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/DSC_0084.jpg
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.Quote:

The rest is careful tweaking and experimentation with camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, etc).
Thanks dude - have now invested in a tripod, so there will be more to come. ;)Quote:

"Some say, that one needs the Hubble Space Telescope in order to fit his Epic-ness in frame & that no source of light is needed due to his self luminosity... All we know, is that he's called Bobblehead Stig!" :D

LOL! Love it! :DQuote:

@VP: Great poses with Swerve due but his lighting is a little too skewed towards the blue/green spectrum (Or is that what you were going for?), Galvatron's shots look awesome though IMO - Especially that 1st one! ;):cool:
@Deceptic: Dear Anubis is that an incredibly Anime/Manga subject for a photo! :p, brilliant shot man but how come the lines are so 'jaggy'? :confused:
(Need to turn your Anti-Aliasing up to 16x dude! :p)
fixed now...heheheQuote:

Anyways, here's this evening's pics (especially for you Hursty ;)):

hehehe yeah that would probably fix it. but IMHO wouldnt that defeat the purpose of toy photography? i could imagine using photoshop for cleaning up dust or smudges from a shot or having your own signature on the photo but not really editing the whole image as a whole, cos i believe toy photography is making different composition using natural light or artificial and playing with angles, surroundings and camera settings to make a story or set a mood of your subject?Quote:

I was merely stating that if Hursty thought the original pic was awesome, then he would probably love it even more if it was photoshopped.
lol...excatly what i meant hahahaQuote:
