^^^Never get tired of seeing that figure man!



Love the overhead light on him.

Just a suggestion: Try lowering the exposure or ISO. The light is a bit over exposed and you might be able to show off more detail if you tried one of those.

It might mean you will have to use a tripod (if you're not already).

I know this isn't really horror, but I thought they turned out scary enough to post here:

These are awesome Maglor. Totally fitting for here I think.

Thanks for the tips on my pics. I am still learning all the new features on this new bad boy. I actually took those shots holding a light over him with one hand while holding the camera steady with the other. I am going to be picking up a tripod after the holidays.

I often will be holding the light source in my pics. But a tripod is a must.

What would you suggest for the ISO on a pic like what I did or even the pics you just posted? All the auto settings have it at 100 to start with or just set to "auto". I think the shots I took were 100.

 

[Maglor]

The lowest mine goes is 100. Lower would be nice though.

I may have set the exposure to less than the mid mark (-1 EV).

Also, a big part of it is using low light.


And there is no way I could have taken those pics without a tripod. With really low light like that it makes the shutter stay open longer, which means blur if you move at all. So I always use a tripod and set a timer for 10 seconds so that the camera is totally still when the shutter opens.

Point taken. Thanks for info. I will be getting that tripod real soon. I'm heading out now to see family. To everyone who see this post, Happy Holidays!!

what figure is that Mag? a custom? 1:6? i like him. :]

 

[Maglor]

It's just from Alex Ross Justice League Series 6.

Probably the coolest Scarecrow I own though.

 

[fosing]

wish it was 1:6. i miss doing light painting, FUN in the dark it sure is. putting it on my new year's things to do list.

 

[Maglor]

What does "light painting" have to with anything?

 

[fosing]

low light photography...light painting with my figures, specially horror/spooky ones. dark room, 20-30 second shutter speeds, a penlight...

 

[Maglor]

Would be interested to see how that applies...

 

[fosing]

to selective exposure in low light, i still call it light painting.

 

[Maglor]

Wow! That's effing BADASS!

to selective exposure in low light, i still call it light painting.

Not light painting, but great lighting none-the-less.

tenks. :]
just curious, what do you call to the technique i did i use on snake eyes?
(low shutter, penlight selective exposure/dancing penlight, in a dark room.)
*i'm still a noob with my photography hobby.
