[Photos] Figure Maniacs: K-On Classroom.

Notes:

I finally got my camera fixed, but I'm really, really out of practice. I can't do event photography due to my health still being pretty bad, and having sold my super expensive lens to get money for shipping my book collection home. However, I'm having fun just doing practice shoots using my figure collection.

I decorated six Phat playsets to make a classroom, and transported one floor (three sets) up onto the roof to take a few practice shots. I'd like to upgrade to a better set up, but I'm still researching which cameras/lenses are good for specifically shooting figures/close up work.

It's frustrating not being able to use photoshop to edit the photos, but I only have my netbook to work with.

Hey! Good to see you posting again, Never! :o

My camera broke too T_T. The shutter motor is broken.

Those photos came out really well for not having Photoshop. Great set. (:

Whoah, amazing!

That is some very creative use of a fan (I am guessing correctly?)

FYI, this figure blogger has his equipment listed on his site. It could be useful. You might also want to check his photos =)

Do you mind sharing your findings regarding equipment?

I'm surprised by how many people noticed that :D I used some issues of Junon for the 'posters' and they're really popular in Japan so I had lots of clippings to work with. I really want to decorate some more of these playsets, but unfortunately so far we've only had festival A/B sets in stock at HS (I own 6 of them already lol.)

Wow, that is one awesome collection! I do notice a large amount of Azunyan missing though, hehe. And poor Ricchan; first her huge forehead and now her neck.

I recognise the K-On and Suzumiya Haruhi characters, but I can't remember/recognise who the others are. They're still cute though! ^^

The photos turned out really well. I really like how you used the fan and the buildings in the background.

I want to see photos of your BRS statue :D

Cool, I'd be interested in seeing how you set it up if you decide to go ahead with it. I really want to learn how to take better photos of my figures. All I'm doing is randomly experimenting at the moment, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It'd be great to have more of an idea of what to do.

Well, I used to be a semi-pro for TL and some other places. This is my body of work (don't look at the oldest stuff, it's rubbish!)

I retired a while back to focus on my health, but I still do the odd project for TL.

If you still check this thread NeverGG, I meant camera gear-wise haha. I know you covered BW E-Sports for TL. Have you covered anything else? Just curious, because I am a Photojournalist/photographer as well.
