Toy Photography - From Transformers to Non-Transformers

[tron07]

That's something I really wish my camera was capable of doing, if anyone can correct me on that though (It's a 7-8 y/o Nikon Coolpix 3200) I'd really appreciate the assistance.

Had a quick look at the specs, and no it doesnt allow you do do that.

Min Aperture: f/4.9
Max Aperture: f/2.8
Aperture Range Description: f/2.8 (wide) / f/4.9 (tele) - f/5.6

My other camera, Canon SX3 IS have appature and full manual control, but it not capable to Bokeh as nice as a SLR can.


Your photos are very nice though, with the backdrop and good lightning... imagine what you can do with a DSLR.

Here is a tip, try not to bend and fold the paper backdrop too much so you dont see a line where the horizontal meets the vertical portion.

Yeah, I didn't think it could either but thanks for having a geeze anyway Tron.

Well I'm quite pleased that I've got most of the necessary ingredients , a DSLR is a little whiles off though unfortunately but you're right about the creases and folds , unfortunately the way they were packaged led to them being like that so I'll have to see if there is a way of ironing them out without actually using an iron.

Thanks for the advice mate.

Stuffed these ones up by not noticing that I had the backing sheet the wrong way around and it had all sorts of crap stuck to it...
None the less, here are some shots of my acquisitions from the Parra Fair just gone :

'07 Movie (Deluxe), Decepticon - Barricade w/ Frenzy (Red Variant)







Neca, Gremlins 2 - Gizmo







???, Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Motoko Kusanagi (The Major)

Looks like you're going Sentai crazy Deceptic! , that middle one looks rather interesting indeed - Looks like some modernised traditional armour of some sort!
Absolutely amazing pics as always dude!


Here are a couple I took today of my favourite Transformers: Animated figure, the 1st batch of (Many to come) Beast Wars photos & the entire shoot of my 1st Transformers: Prime figure!

Transformers: Animated, Decepticon (Voyager) - Blitzwing

That is indeed the Hasbro version, just lit in a certain way.

Holy S*** Deceptic, those shots look nigh real man! - Bloody well done!

I love how you've captured the soft lighting on his skin, combined with the opposing shadow, soft focus and the amazing sculpt of that figure; it yields some crazy good photos and cements in my mind that Hasbro really needs to take a better look at the credentials of it's Official Stock photographers.
