I know it is a bit late but Happy Ramadhan to all. Oh well, fasting month, too lazy to do some random photoshoot outside, so I try to shoot inside hehe.. and the theme today is ‘still life’ but I am not sure.. may be it is a ‘portrait’ of an action figure hehe.. anyway I don’t have many subject to shoot because my son lost all his Lego Star Wars Characters and all he can find are the Ironman and a broken unknown winged blue superhero. So I had no choice but to shoot the Ironman.
I don’t have (m)any lighting gears, and zero knowledge about shooting still life and lighting setup, so the setup I have done here was just using 1 LED torchlight and a ‘kurma kurnia’ container as a stand hehe..
Here are the results…
Lighting from the side
Here the lighting is a bit harsh so I turn it into monochrome and i kinda like it…
I did a focus stacking on this one, because the hand are out of focus so I took two pics and stacked it.
this is the scene when Ironman says “ui.. ui.. apa liat-liat.. ku tembak kang.. banaaa.. banaaa.. nie..”
Same pic as above, but turn to monochrome, just want to see the effect hehe…
With some heavy arsenal… looks “taiming” lolz
My verdict: The shooting process is fun and very interesting, but I really need to learn the technique especially the lighting… banaaa..

lawa tu bro…. ganya kalau u try to diffuse the lighting sikit should be ok kali lah… try to make it soft abit.. just my 2sen
