Pics of Popy Combattra V & Brain Condor

[solscud007]

So I got the rest of my GF's Bros' toys. Two of the better ones are coming by mail. Popy Grendizer and Popy Gaiking.


Here is Popy Combattra V










Popy Brain Condor (from Great Mazinger)







As you know the Brain Condor docks vertically into Great Mazinger's head. And if you look, you can see that the cockpit auto-rotates.

Nice pics. Very detailed. How did you setup to take pics like that?

actually it is very easy. its just a curved piece of paper. Kinda like poster board. then I have three lights. This was done on m,y kitchen table. There is a lighted ceiling fan above the table, and two bright lights on either side of the toy. My friend let me borrow his lights and filters. So i covered the lights with a frosted piece of paper to soften the lights. Then im also using his Digital Canon SLR which takes nice pictures. I set the ISO to 100 and adjust the aperture accordingly. Also I use a tripod if necessary. The Canon SLR has custom settings for whitebalance. So i set the white balance to the white background and set that as white. That eliminates any color temp from the three different lights im using. I still had to do a little adustment of levels in photoshop to make the white background pure white. but that is it.

Cool. My DC that doesn't have ISO / aperture setting though. But I'll give it a try.
