Toys in a Box

Upon venturing into Toy / Figure Photography, I found myself making a DIY light box. Here are the shots that got out of the oven:

The theme here is Halloween. See the sleeping, cuddly stuffed dog? Now, do you see the 3 candles and the monster hand creeping out of his… hmmm… pillow.
Very good idea. Poor shot. 😀

Here is EVA-01 Bandai Model kit of Evangelion 2.0. If I am to correct this, I would have placed the hands differently.

This is Campbell/Mcfarlace Spider-man. Every Spidey figure collector knows this one. The articulation is superb but joints are loose and the paint job is horrible but still, I want him in my collection. Tilting to make the background lines diagonal makes this shot better for me. Yep just for me. 😉

Lupin the Third by Revoltech. One of Revoltech’s releases that I really like. ‘Still wishing that they would release the enemy of Lupin, the Defective… err… Detective.

In case you want to see the Behind The Scenes (BTS).

Another Still Life Attempt: A Bright Idea

I was looking for things to shoot inside the house (Yes. I don’t want to bother getting out to look for subjects. Lazy boy. Hehe), I saw my lamps. Posed them here and there. ‘Kinda lame but I must post it for whatever reason I have. 😀

Manila Zoo’s Daredevil

‘Saw this man swimming with an alligator. Well, wallowing in the knee-deep water to be precise. But deep or not, there’s an alligator bigger than him which is only a foot away.

He was throwing coins at the beast’s back. I don’t know if this is related to the golden frog with coins you can see in China town.

But he sure is lucky because he left unscathed, Mr. Daredevil.

In a Land Far Far Away… Is The Moon

You can feel the power of point and shoot super zoom cameras in shots like these. In DSLRs and the likes, buying a lens that can match the reach of the super zoom P&S cams will leave a dent on you bank account, a very big dent (in my case).

Still Life. Yep. Perfectly Still. Not Moving.

Here is a shot with the theme: Still Life.

This is composed of a flower candle with vase and pebbles, placed on a sofa pillow. I used 2 lamps (left and right) which created the reflections and made another star-shape pattern. Cool!

Dew to Do

Here are my attempts in capturing dew drops.

Honestly, made me thirsty looking at ’em.

A tip: look for leaves that have textures that tend to prevent the water droplets from rolling down. Try to do this very early. I think I got up around 5am. Insects also tend to be slower in the morning or maybe they’re just sleepy. LOL.

Bug Macro Winning Form

This macro shot of 2 bugs… umm… doing their business is quite memorable. I entered this one in a Canon photo contest and won a Canon A490 point and shoot camera.

OK for Toy Photography

Now, this is my first (I think) dive into toy/figure collecting as well as toy photography. As you can see, Ken approves. 😀

Btw, that is Ken Masters made by NECA.

Looks 3D to Me

Whenever I stare (yes, stare 0_0 ) at this pic. It gives me that 3D vibe.

Maybe you should try it. Your face must be half a foot away from the screen. Touch your nose every half a second while tapping your head up and down.

See? ‘Just kidding. 😉

Pointy

All I can say is… ouch!
