Nice BB pic! That particular BB is what resurrected my TF collection interest way back in 2007. I'd imagine it would hard to come by these days.

Thanks! It is a really cool looking figure, although I've got no idea how to transform it because I bought it as is from dirge for $7, hah.

@VP: Ooh... Photoshop... :D - Vanity maybe a sin, but when it looks that good? ;):cool:
@Deceptic: Where's the pics man? - More, more I say! :p
@Robzy: Man, you are really bloody good at capturing the right atmosphere for the He-Man related subjects of your shots man - Clawful looks awesome! :eek::cool:
@Liegeprime: Must... Bite... Tongue..., So... Much... Innuendo! :D
@UltraMarginal: That is an awesome shot man, it immediately reminded me of the scene where Demolishor throws his arms up and takes out that bridge! :D
@Jena: Wow! - Your choice of scenery is consistently effective dude, the texture of the sand in the foreground does wonders for this shot. ;):eek:

I'm starting to think I should invest in a light box, or at least a garden

these pictures are fantastic. Leave my pale office single ceiling light pictures for dead.

Thanks mate!

FYI, I don't use a lightbox - that was taken with the figure sitting on a table with a cloth draped underneath and behind him whilst using normal household light.

I think I saw someone answer the black background question previously, I believe it is black towel as the dark backdrop and the rest is just getting the exposure and lighting right.

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

Thanks dude... I loved the original movie but hated the other 1.5. :p

As for the figures, I only picked them up since they were cheap, with the intention of photographing them - so I'm glad the pics turned out nice. :)

Nice use of those figures VP though it looks like the sculptor gave Trinity man hands :D
Looks like I'm off to find black material then.

Redundant flight pack much? Still, I don't think a toyline has ever exhausted all its options until a figure comes with an extraneous winged backpack.

These shots would be a great example to show my photography class to explain the difference between the two priority modes! Great shots.

Seeing as this is also another toy of mine, here's a pic I took awhile ago in front of Acer Arena back when I first acquired my DSLR:
