I need air filters, saving money for dedicated display cases but I want four and it's going to cost like 20gs so maybe never, but my collection is die cast so I need dehumidifiers for them because the armors get all sticky from humidity, life sucks

Got mine today, he's just as amazing as wm mk2 with the added bonus of a sick color scheme and an excellent head sculpt. The legion continues to grow, next up red snapper!

Such a gorgeous figure. The new joints are really impressive, even if the thin flaps make me nervous when handling. Takes a light touch. But he's photogenic!

Where do you take your pictures to get that black background?

I have a light tent with a piece of black velvet as a backdrop, then I tweak the black levels of each picture to drop it out as much as possible.

Cool. That's something I need to learn, tweaking color levels. Great job! Great pics!

Very nice work... I really like those pics

Do you adjust the levels on your camera or on photoshop or a program afterwards?

It's a mix of both. I use a camera that takes both JPEG and CR2 formats, the latter of which captures a great deal more image data than a jpeg. I also bracket a lot, which means I tend to take a dozen or more pictures of each pose with different brightness settings. Once they're all in the computer, I pick the best one and tweak that. Up until recently I was using Photoshop, because that's what I was familiar with from work, but recently switched to Adobe Lightroom, which has a lot more photo-specific development settings that allow for a great deal of control.

The advantage of digital over film, especially in a controlled setting at home taking pics of toys, is you can take a bajillion pictures with all different settings then weed out the handful of great ones.

If you don't have access to Lightroom, Photoshop can do many of the same things, and in a non-destructive way (just don't write over the original image file). Exposure, Levels, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, etc. You can even get into filters like Sharpen, but those require a light touch.

I totally encourage messing around. Take some pictures and just try things out! I'm no professional, but my pictures definitely benefited from a lot of practice and trial and error.

^^^ Cool, thanks for the tips! I'll play around with it.

I have a light tent too, but can't seem to make it look completely black. I've been reading up on low key photography which allows you to get a completely black background, but it requires some fiddling with flash. I'm going to try that

I don't use a flash myself. My lighting is a pair of lamps on tripods to either side of the tent, using the white tent sides as diffusers. I can rotate each one on its base to move the light around a bit, but basically I try to minimize any direct lighting to the backdrop. With the camera on a small tripod (Gorillapods rule), I use a two-second timer to make sure I'm not giggling it, and I can get away with no flash.
