I picked another one of my toys to shoot in portrait. I set up the Kick on the Gorillapod so that I could light the Shredder figure. I shot it in profile so that I could capture a very dark background and make the figure pop.
I was using the NX300 with the 60mm Macro lens. I really notice how badly the toys I have need to be dusted when I see them in macro.
I’ve been doing a lot of macro lately, and I too have been amazed at how much dust is on the action figures!
Justin,
I know, it is crazy the amount of dust you find on them. My Robot Heroes figures are the worst. I’ve got to remember to dust things off before I end up shooting them in the future.
