http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...eah-tf-pics-thread-2013-rules-first-post.html

This thread is for posting your quality, high end pics. Lightbox pics, etc. This is to allow those who want to post their high quality pics a place to showcase their photos, and help those who want to improve their photography skills.

Here's some guidelines:

• LIGHTBOX TYPE SHOTS ONLY, OR PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH MIND THEIR BACKGROUNDS: This thread is not for desktop or driveway photography. Use a background. Flexibility may be granted if utmost care is taken to ensure quality otherwise. No cellphone pics.
  
• PLEASE KEEP IMAGE SIZE TO A REASONABLE RESOLUTION: Preferably less than 1,000 pixels wide. Even though the forums will appear to resize your images, the entire file will load with every refresh and giant images will slow down the thread. Large images may be removed and the poster may repost a smaller version. Pics above 1200 pixel-wide resolution are always way too big and will be removed immediately. Please shoot for around 1000 pixels. Minor differences like 1050 pixels are not an issue.
  
• HEAVY PHOTOSHOP USAGE OR ADDING OF EFFECTS BELONGS IN THE COOL STUFF THREAD: Minor effects like adding eye-glow or such is fine, but the spirit of this thread is to showcase photography, not image editing. Please post heavily modified images in the Cool Stuff thread instead.
  
• POSTS WHICH DO NOT MEET THE ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES MAY BE MOVED TO ANOTHER THREAD OR REMOVED: It's nothing personal, but this thread is designed to have a separate personality from the Cool Stuff thread with an emphasis on quality and helping your fellow TFW board member get things "just right." "Third Party" products are acceptable in this thread.

We may adjust the guidelines going forward. But for the meantime, take some photos and have fun!

Good grief, SmartRobin looks like he's wearing a Halloween mask!  

 

at least he doesn't look like a glorified energon fig lol. i'm waiting on the hasbro version though, faceplate and i might have bit on fps

 

LOOOL ya it's an interesting face they put on him... that orange... is well distracting at times...    

 

Done. Thanks for the links.

Finally opened those two on the left; took this photo with the toys in front of my monitor with some plastic block on the foreground to give some blurry effect on the ground

 

You did this with just your monitor & a plastic block? That's the reason why I'm a big fan of your work  

 

^agreed, very creative!
(Nice new avy, u nemesis  )

Happy new year here, too! Nice to see the thread is already filled with awesome.

But I must post this. It's his year and all that  

 

That's the reason why I'm in need of a real camera!  
Truly awesome, zy80.  

Geez, what a bizarre figure.  










I must have it.  

Hmm... ¥1600 on Yahoo! Japan auctions (plus ¥650 shipping)...  

Okay, bought.  
My second Transformers purchase of the year, and 2014's barely started.  












Damn SydneyY.  

 

Thanks! And love your "new year card" too

Thanks UM, Syd and Tekering! Means alot coming from you guys  
A lot of work was taken care of by the camera and the lens (50mm, around f2.2 was the setting I think) which allowed for more blurry backgrounds and hence I could take more pictures without worrying about the background being distracting  

Like you said, Syd, Hasbro really sold some very interesting toys in the later 1990s  , I just read up on it, my god, it even comes with a realistic tail lol!

 

Bumping my top 6 from the old thread...

 

awesome!!!
