Great shots HTBR. Would love to see a tutorial on how this was done.
Thank you guys
Since i only have a single flash,all my toy pics are composite of more than a pictures(apart from the first pic)
I made a DIY Flash diffuser using DVD burner and Anti Virus CD Box
I used butter paper as the diffuser. I also bought some Gel papers(Red,Blue & Green) for different lighting effects.
For Eg: The second pic (Stormtrooper)was a composite of 2 pictures.
-(1st pic) from the left side i used a blue gel on top of my diffuser
-(2nd pic) from behind(top right corner) i used a red gel
Later in Photoshop, i kept the 1st pic as the base pic with the blending mode as normal. Then the 2nd pic in another layer with the blending mode as lighten. I then masked out some unwanted red light in the same layer
. One should also play with the opacity.
The Ironman pic was a bit tricky
Took me some time
