same shot, with different lighting.
I'm sure I will do this again with some more figures.
Enjoy.
Very cool Jimbo! I like it! The monitor works great! Hopefully you get your printer sorted though for the UU upgrade, the UUu? haha

I didn’t know that there was a thread for figure photography on here. I do a lot of it on Instagram.

Ahhhhhh of course, that makes sense as to why the photos looked so familiar! Great to see them in much a larger than Instagram format over here on the Message Board! Keep up the great work!

It's the Mattel Catwoman with the longer pendant.

Mattel presents 60s Bat-villains. Also a customized Colonel Gumm and Factory Entertainment's commercial Green Hornet and Kato.

Meanwhile, the new Batcycle has been "borrowed"...

Now I have both a B&W Batman and Robin, I couldn't resist playing around with some of the great behind the scenes photos from the Pilot. The perspectives aren't perfect, but I think the results are pretty fun. Be sure to scroll down for the pull-back shot to show how I did this in-camera.

Interesting seeing it in B&W. I know some of us watched it that way originally, but color is such a big part of the show.

Keep the photos coming Ben!

I did the same thing a while back, and thought I had posted them here.
I had a lot of fun using the computer screen as a backdrop, unlimited possibilities!
Unfortunately, limited posing possibilities.
Apologies if this is a repost.
