my yet to finish corefighter.... cc is welcomed


lens : 50mm at F3.2
ISO : 800
using CS3 to crop the picture
Lighting :using house lighting without flash

ISO800??

NOISYYYYYYY at most also use ISO400...

wut to do... lighting inside the apt is gloomy..

Buy some table lamps?

Behold the mighty dwarf warrior, Thargas Anvilmar!!!!!



These shots were done with a combination of things: the Nikon D40, the Nikkor 105mm VR and the Nikon R1C1 kit.

Shots were taken at ISO200, shutter speed of 1/200 and aperture of f/4.

The flashes were fired from the right-hand side of Encik Anvilmar and also top-left of Encik Anvilmar. One of the shots unfortunately, forgot to put backdrop

My one no flash, low light somemore



Forget shutter speed. F8 and ISO400 if not wrong..

ISO800 is just too noisy..

Don bother the composition. I just use it as the test of blurred background.

subject already dark color...so next time try to use lighter background...
this one i can only see gold lining and dunno what is that thing also

background very distracting and also that char almost the same color with that enact
try plain background next time and also the light on the wall seem like something wrong

Er what I mean is, you see his background (referring to his whole gallery), you can't tell whether the wall is near to you or not, its like an empty space at the back.

aih.. dunno how to explain

the out of focus background izzit, use bigger aperture to make the background more blurry
to see whether the paper or wall is close, just look at the shadow

Hrmm too dark eh. Was trying to simulate the dark warrior kinda feel. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

zio... try put green theme as your background and re-shoot.

i think ur pic is ok, like dark warrior feel.. well u know, batman have a dark costume also but i (i dunno how about u'all ) never see his picture with brighter background..

Well, i agree with Vince because the object overblend with the background already...

EDIT : Same like my case lar... Red with red...(Well that pics actually for testing bokeh.. not for anything also.. )

for me just the second pic too dark, his armor blends too much to the bakground, maybe back lit him a bit
third one is ok

yeh the second shot is too dark. i agree also. Oh well, maybe try a different background. Never mind, today I try a different model first

Using props in photographing

Well for this 2 pictures I included 2 very simple prop to it to make the figures more lively

props 1 : 1 small food toy
props 2 : tissue paper


Props 1


Props 2


using your own creative way of decorating with tissue papers you can create an impact together with the figures

settings: As usual im using macro , EV 1.8 , vivid , sharpness + , daylight , contrast normal , some backdrops bought from gift shops

I am back....TMNT!



I do notice that Raphael is not as sharp in the group shots. Maybe I should have gone with an aperture higher than f4. What do you think?

@tempt haven't tried the green background with the dwarf yet. Didn't find a green foam mat yet to serve as my backdrop

macro and micro are both correct terms actually, Nikon call their macro lens as micro lens, Canon uses macro instead

i suggest green coz ur dwarf is black.
Something like dwarf in the forest theme lor.. I think will blend well gwa...

zio
you ninja turtle pic

1. is under
2. flash to harsh but composition is nice..cause you include everything inside and no chop
3. lamp post and stand chop again
4.this one nice...but it will be better if you compose it abit higher...cause u leave space alot on the head
