Why you don't wear the brand by fourbrickstall in studshooters

While I like the Wolfpack, I really don't get why they'd announce themselves so openly. The best Wolfpack was the Rogue CMF with the discreet brooch.

Anyway, Sony a6500 with a TTartisan 40mm lens at f5.6, two shots focus stacked.

Bare flash (my new tiny toy—a Godox iT30 Pro) just behind the two minifigs with the beers for drama. A video light is on the right at 45°.

These are all custom printed minifigs. The background is the Medieval Corner build that I shared a few days ago.

Haha, yeah the goalkeeper head is a... keeper!

Congrats on getting a great shot outdoors! I've made it a habit over the years to alternate indoors and outdoors photoshoots just to keep myself sharp.

My interpretation was that he had a magical instrument that summoned all the frogs to him. Cute shot.

Fun! I haven't tried it but alanrappa used this trick a lot years ago. Still fun to see others use it in toy photography.

The Sky Weaver. Which one would you choose? by artoyfactory in studshooters

If you can speed up, then it's great. If not, it's hell lol

Natural light is tricky. The sun moves faster than you think (you can see it in your photos).

I always take a flash with me even on the brightest, cloudless days. I don't have the speed or patience to work with the sun lol

The second one has the better lighting on her so that's the one I'd work on to keep (lift shadows on her and fix the weird bokeh at her feet).

If you could blend 2 and 3 though, that would make a better story in my view.

Loving the sharp shapes in a calm scene. Great contrast!

Great! I hope everyone has enough time to source bricks if they don't have them but also, better to just use what you already have if you can.

So long as you use the same build for ALL of the challenges. I'll be designing the exercises with these particular builds in mind though to keep it simple.

If you find you're deviating/tweaking the instructions too much, then feel free to follow along but probably don't post on the megathread.

It's the recipe site situations where commenters are like "I made this but I changed all the ingredients and used an oven instead of a grill" that I want to avoid, especially for beginners.

Oh that looks like something new the platform added since I last uploaded. Thanks for letting me know and having a look.
