I Cracked the Secret for a Portable Miniature Photography Studio!

 Dudes... I think I finally cracked a portable studio I can use for toy photography that gives me all the tools my home studio does, but will easily fit  into my existing photo bag.

That recent Mando photo helped me crack it.  Video is here:





The parts you need from Platypod are:

  • Two Elbows
  • One Clamp
  • One eXtreme plate
  • One Tab

Painted Mando

 Last night I assembled this Mandalorian model from a kit by Bandai. I hoped it wouldn't need painting, but it turned out and there were a small but annoying number of small defects in the plastic that I decided to paint over.    This morning I got all the painted bits reassembled.    Should look good in front of my camera!

Symmetry

 This is a jester model, full of all my janky painting mistakes.  Don't worry tho, cause soon it will feature in an image full of my janky Photoshop mistakes.  That, my friends, is called symmetry.

Pigeon

Seen near the Gum Wall in Seattle Washington.   Saw this pigeon picking foilage on the side of a sidewalk near Pikes Place Market in Seattle.  I trained my camera on him and waited.  As expected this guy flew up directly towards my lens.

Anticipation and preparation is the key.. or something.  Luck doesn't hurt either.
