Now I find myself fighting the urge to check ebay to see what kind of prices I can get (while I&#39;m sitting in class no less, I&#39;m a bad student)clarkhttp://www.articulateddiscussion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499439415389320299.post-850748272246354542010-01-26T15:22:38.712-05:002010-01-26T15:22:38.712-05:00Thanks everybody! I didn&#39;t use much in the way of trickery or different camera settings. I just set the camera on the table, took the picture with the lights on, then turned the lights off and took a picture. I had to angle the camera upward a bit with my hand, but I was sure to keep it firmly on the table so that it wouldn&#39;t move at all. The shutter stays open pretty long for this type of picture so any movement of the camera would blur the image.<br /><br />But I also flooded the figures a few minutes with direct light so that they would soak it up and shine brighter. And my camera is 10 Megapixels, so that also helped to improve the images.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13686157235776751129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499439415389320299.post-43360186796615989262010-01-26T14:00:06.309-05:002010-01-26T14:00:06.309-05:00Excellent review of a great-looking figure, Nathan! I&#39;m thinking one could make a pretty awesome custom of this character using the Marvel Legends Vengeance as a base. :)<br /><br />And yes, those glow-in-the-dark figure photos are awesome. What trickery did you implement to take those?Weshttp://www.scary-crayon.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499439415389320299.post-60545411734402610252010-01-24T15:56:07.816-05:002010-01-24T15:56:07.816-05:00Nice write-up! I can&#39;t think of anything to add to what you said, really. Bonehead is an old favorite of mine, but I&#39;m sure you already know that. It&#39;s cool seeing him with his gas mask for the first time in 18 years (I lost that accessory immediately), and your glow in the dark photos turned out excellent. I can&#39;t get those to look right at any shutter speed. Kudos!<br /><br />Now you have to buy his motorcycle. : )Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08986466067359836703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499439415389320299.post-39716408224783652882010-01-24T09:46:36.412-05:002010-01-24T09:46:36.412-05:00You can see the ratings scale <a href="http://www.dorkdimension.com/2008/08/ratings-scale.html" rel="nofollow">here. </a> I agree, though, it should be more obvious. Maybe I&#39;ll put the ratings scale on the right column and play around with the graphics a bit.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13686157235776751129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499439415389320299.post-78767004571885405602010-01-24T04:11:50.051-05:002010-01-24T04:11:50.051-05:00Cool looking toy! <br /><br />When you give your scores you<br />might want to let us know if<br />it&#39;s 4 out of 10 <br />or <br />it&#39;s 4 out of 5<br /><br />I looked around and couldn&#39;t find anything <br />that explained the scoring system.krakithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09004911486680402309noreply@blogger.com
