Nine more figures from Folklore: The Affliction box set. I have only 5 more left to paint. I have again gone with bright colours. They are nice figures to paint aside from the faces as on some of the figures the sculpting of the faces is quite soft.
I am experimenting with a black backdrop here. It is a real challenge, as to keep the background black, I have to crank down the exposure and have to avoid using a lot of light. I am using my iPhone as oddly enough I find the quality better than my fancy camera and I can edit the photo to a certain degree on my phone. I also like the airdrop feature. I am having some problems with the lighting as you can see the left most figure in the bottom photo is a little washed out.
I like a white back drop as I find it easier to get the exposure correct, but my last submission to the challenge this year really will require a black backdrop so it is good to get some practice in. If any one has any advice to give I would appreciate it.

Wonderful choice of colors with the vampires and priests!
ReplyDeleteThey came out very well.
ReplyDeletei have pretty much abandoned my Nikon Digital camera. First, it is so old that it's hard to find a computer the interface will work with, second, the cheap digital camera in my I phone takes better quality pictures, as you've noted. That was NOT true of my older i phone camera, which took pretty poor photos.
