(Day 190) - Dark Knight

Wanted to do a simple, lowkey portrait of one of my favorite action figures when I little. Totally loved Batman back then. My parents would record the cartoon episodes and I'd watch them over and over and over and over again! And when I bought my own Batman, I could have my own adventures! Fun times. There's something about superheroes and kids. They just inspire us to be heroic...although I do smile a lot more than Batman does. :)
You've created a strong low-key shot, Chris.

Great job with this! I tried to take a toy picture, and mine did not turn out well! You make it look so easy, but it's not! :)

Great job! Perfect composition for Batman, anything other than low-key just wouldn't work with his dark personality.

@julie - Thank you Julie! I must admit it can take some patience and practice. My first few attempts at this photo did not look good at all. But I keep shooting and saw that I needed to adjusts lighting and it turned out fine. This article on toy photography tips helps me out a bit too: http://www.photopoly.net/5-tips-for-better-toy-photography/. In any case, keep on trying and I look forward to seeing your toy photos! :)
