Redheads and red that hurts my eyes
So I got in a new camera this week: Canon Powershot SD1000. It’s no SLR, but it’s a really good compact camera that takes decent quality pictures with little difficulty. And what better way to test it out with a good ol’ figure shoot.
I shot the first batch out in the early afternoon under some shade. I didn’t have any reflectors or other light equipment, so Photoshop took care of that.
This beauty here is named Ignis from Nitro+’s Jingai Makyo (Chaos Gate). I never heard of it, but I bought the figure because it was just so nice.
Then Eva 01 came in, with a flying kick to Ignis.
The next day, I recieved a Mitsuru (I guess I do have a thing for redheads). I didn’t have time for a outdoor shoot, so I set it against my monitor before I went to sleep. But then, I stared at the monitor, thinking how the figures looked against the light. So I got up, and spent 3 hours shooting more photos and editing them. These are wallpaper sized, so feel free to use them.
Oh, don’t compare this to those iPod ads. Only now did someone point that out to me.

That’s a rad idea, actually. It gives more depth than a plain old silhouette.

Can you make a version with a bluish background? Red doesn’t fit with my theme unfortunately :

As I’d expect of a character that looked so nice from a silhouette… minus the glasses ;_; (Yeah I am not a fan of meganekkos, so fire me.)
