Title: Photo of the Day: March 26th, 2011
Post by: shmax on March 26, 2011, 01:20:28 PM
This here is a fine photo. We mention the photo guidelines a lot, but you really don't even need to read them--all you need to do is make sure that any photo you submit is in the same ballpark as this shot of Super Speedbreaker (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/1358), and be almost guaranteed instant approval and adulation. Notice the clean, white background, the subtle shadow, the rich colors, the sharp detail and strong contrast, the flattering perspective and depth. Also, there are no fingers in it. HighPrime may make it look easy, folks, but there's actually a lot involved in taking a photo this not-awful. If you're interested in picking up toy photography as a hobby or just improving your method, don't be shy about speaking up in our Shutterbug Club (http://www.shmax.com/Forums/viewforum.php?f=14) forum. I'll start you off with Tip #1: close your robe when photographing a boxed toy with a reflective front.
