Dorking around and shooting photos!
This is one of two photos I managed after setting up this scene on our dining room sideboard. The other is of Outback, facing the other direction, which I’ll share someday. For Kwinn, I tried to tell a story of him either communicating with the giant log, or trying to get inside of it somehow. I lit the scene with our Himalayan salt lamp which is right behind the pine cone on the right, it puts out incredible light!

I wanted to get a bit creative for this shot. Down in our basement I set up one of my comic book boxes at an angle on our craft table. I used a generic bendable desk lamp to hit the side of the box and throw the rest of the scene into shadow. Set up the figure so one eye and the Cobra logo would be lit. I used as big of a weapon I could find, so it could be distinguishable in the shadows.

I got this photo in my backyard, nothing fancy. Balanced the figure in the grass, set my hands down on the ground in front of him and got the shot. Nifty fifty bokeh all over the place here, turned out good.

I recently took a handful of winter themed figures up to the Brighton Ski Resort during a leisure walk. This photo ended up being made near the Nordic ski track. I grabbed a few photos with Stalker and Sub Zero, but they didn’t turn me on much. This Storm Shadow photo did work however. The lighting is muted, but the color balance is good, a limited amount of color makes it work nicely.
