Whoa, what setting is that? Would love to mess around with it.

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

When in "Edit" mode click on the "effects" tab. The effect is called "Color Splash". It makes your whole picture black and white, then you paint in the parts you want to be color again.

Pretty kewl.

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Lots of great shots here mags.
Really like this one. Although this figure is excellent, I've had a hard time trying to find a dynamic pose for him so I opted for a static pose.
This is the best dynamic pose so far I've seen on bats.
Excellent lighting also, looks like a movie poster.

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

I don't want to steal the thunder of the Contrapposto pose 'cos it literally took me days to get right (and it's the pose I'm sticking with long-term), but here's another pose I played with but ultimately abandoned:

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Mag, I speak from personal experience when I say that the Contrapposto stance is a giant _____ to get right. I've made several attempts, and never achieved it as perfectly as you have in those pics

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

I have my James Dean in his classic Contrapposto stance and that was tricky as well. What made this especially difficult is that the outfit is very unforgiving. With Dean, he's wearing Jeans and a jacket so the cloths hide anything that might be off about the pose. With Supes, he really is almost as naked as Michelangelo's David, and every joint and muscle is visible.
