well I haven't try before but a fellow collector in France have done it before, you can see it here

you can actually buy bricks, roof, etc to build a house and stuff, unfortunately I haven't seen it being sold here. I got mine from a friend in Canada haha.

im not that skillful, its one of my brother's works

you can buy alot of gadgets around japan to use in ur photoshooting.... they even have the background ready for you

woa~ thanks, maybe I should try some, but my camera sucks at night mode

Buy bricks? o.O

yup bricks, see it in the shots below hehe

Oh that kind of bricks... lol. Was thinking about the life-sized ones. Where did you get those?

A friend of mine in Canada help me buy them, and ship it over haha, haven't been able to find it here

What is the best metering mode for exposure when taking pictures with 2 light sources (mini studio)? Is it better to go with spot or center weighted average?

Use spot, that should give you the most accurate color for the figure itself

Fluorescent temperature should be lower than daylight 3-4k i think
Color Temperature

My SD Gundam RX-78NT-1

Oh, I see

But my camera has 2 fluorescent settings. One is the normal fluorescent like you mentioned which should be warmer and will apply a cooling filter since the pictures appear more bluish with my daylight bulbs where else the other one on my camera is Fluorescent H. It is abit warmer than daylight .

There is a technique that involves photoshop where they merge together 2 pictures into one,

this technique is used when you want a focus look on the figure and the background

but I don't have any idea on how to do it.... since I sucks alot at photoshop

take a shot of the figurine with blank background, another shot of ur background of choice.

Magnetic lasso the figurine, then cut, paste into background.. tada!

Magnectic lasso = best thing since sliced bread

You mean something like this?

Magic wand? It can be in accurate at times if your figures have white shades on it against a white background.
Would be very tedious and troublesome to lasso the thing slowly though. You either have to have a steady hand to use a mouse or a digital stylus.

Guyz!

what do you think of this rm650 entry-level dslr ?

the camera RM2400 la, the lens itself is RM650

*vomits blood

juz found out this thread... seems kinda interesting... i love photoshoot too... on cars... some of my attempts, indoors and outdoors... still practicing from pros out there... wat i have gain on knowledge on photoshooting these miniature models are the right focus, lighting (sunlight) and zooming (to avoid reflection of the photographer)...

For a sec I thought those were real cars........

Well... don't expect them to come cheap. Entry level DSLRs will at least cost RM 2k. The Sony a200 costs around RM 1.7k if you know where to look but still, that is a lot of money
I would be darn happy to find a DSLR at RM650 ^^

I guess I have to stick around with my crappy camera for awhile~
