Yeah, my first thought was that it was night. I think the black Hiss tank being out of focus makes the whole photo seem like it's night time.

The details with the leaves and trash are great.

It could be that I've learned to use the BTS shot as a cheat sheet and now rely on it when I shouldn't, but I often find myself noticing details in the BTS shot, where I then refer back to the production shot to see the detail that I missed.

I think it's just laziness on my part, and not spending enough time taking in the production shot. In this one, I didn't notice the hand on the skull on the ground until I saw it in the BTS shot. I appreciate the level of detail you put into these, and it make me wonder how much I miss in everyday photos that I look at.

Just little subtleties. Great if you catch them, not the end of the world if you don't.

I'm guilty of it myself.

No idea what you are talking about.

But I didn't see the hand on the skull either until Gryphon pointed it out.

That photo needs a smart caption, I just don't know what.

They're great?
Knowing is half the battle?
Part of a balanced breakfast?


And the leaves on the ground look like spilled corn flakes.

Not toy photography, but I thought people following this thread might enjoy this art installation at a hotel I recently stayed. You all will probably recognize way more than I did. Trying to make the pics big so it’s easier to see everything.

Hmmm, did this artist simply spray paint over a bunch of toys?

Saw this story on the local news about a month ago, thought you may be interested. Some of the effects that he manually creates are pretty neat.

This setup using the tv background is so good.

It's great how you convinced your wife to sacrifice the family tv.

Thanks. Helps break up flat light, and in this case control hot spots.
