Toy Collecting -- Some of my action figures

[flg8r]

Been fascinated with collecting action figures. Also, been learning about lighting techniques using off-camera flash (strobist). All shots taken with 2 flash units: a Vivitar 285HV and Canon 540EZ. Here are some of my shots:

They look nice. Love to see each shot bigger though. Can't offer much on such small shots.

Here's a few. Don't want to take up too much bandwidth:

^^^ Looks good. Well done lighting on any scale is still well done lighting.

FWIW, posting rules allow 1024x 150Kb. Attach two or embed eight.

Cheers...

I love these! I think your lighting is great... and of course I've always been a big fan of toys :-)
Great collection by the way!

They look really cool, really lifelike with great atmospheric lighting. Great job!

I have the exact same spiderman "doll"! Aren't they just great? He's been all over the house doing all kinds of things :lol:
(He always helps with the dishes after breakfast...)

I've not taken any of him since i got my SLR so nothing like yours, but here's 2 just for fun...

I usually use him as a drawing/design model.
