Go Figure - Bardiel: 13th Angel

I got home last Thursday to the sight of a crescent moon faintly veiled by clouds as it hung some 15° over the horizon. 5 minutes later, the camera, tripod, and figurine were set up ... and the moon was nowhere to be seen.

Go Figure (2012/12/13)

Props to Lester for the idea of using an LCD screen for the background; it's a hell of a lot more convenient than setting up a diorama. I'll be using my own photographs though, partly out of respect for the copyrights of other photographers on the Net, but mostly because it'd make a more interesting challenge to create my own set of stock photos.


Total time for setup and experimentation:

• 2+ hours

Random paraphernalia:

• a reasonably large LCD screen for the background
• a clamped desktop lamp for lighting
• a sheet of paper as diffuser
• a stack of books and my everyday black hat as the elevated base for the figurine
