(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/robohara/public_html/www.robohara.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114I’ve been taking a lot of photos for my Star Wednesday posts, and decided the other day that I would like to set up a clutter-free area where I could take those pictures. It wouldn’t have to be large or permanent — just a small place where I could take clear pictures of my Star Wars items. On the backs of the early vintage action figure cards, each figure appeared in their own little colored box. I decided that this was the look I wanted to emulate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I can’t remember if I read about it, saw it, or just figured it out on my own, but somehow at some point it came to me that you could recreate this look with a single sheet of poster board. By placing the poster board flat on a table and then bending the back up at a 90 degree angle, the color runs together and you get that look.<\/p>\n
I bought a sheet of poster board from Dollar Tree for 50 cents, placed it on a metal chair, and placed a figure on top of it. Then I took a picture of it with my phone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here’s the same shot from a bit further away:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The one thing I hadn’t anticipated was the shadow cast by the figure. Each of these pictures were taken under terrible lighting conditions (LED bulbs inside a ceiling fan’s light fixture). I may need to relocate closer to a window or use another piece of poster board to reflect some of the light.<\/p>\n
Based on the results of my trial run I went back and bought three more sheets of poster board: blue, green, and orange.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The solid colors also make it pretty easy to cut out the backgrounds and drop different ones in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ll need to do a little work to clean up the shadows, but other than that I think this will work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
