I had a spare hour yesterday and knew I wanted to get some SW shots, although I had no idea of what. When I saw these guys on my shelf, everything kinda fell into place...
So, Star Wars. It had been a while. As much as I've enjoyed the
Transformers shots recently, I've not taken any that I've
been really happy with, and my interest has started to wander from the
Robots in Disguise. Only for the time being, I should hasten to add -
I'll be a lifelong fan, but a recent interest in Indiana Jones saw me
drawing back into the world of Lucasfilm; really, this was
inevitable!
I was messing around with some different
lighting for these shots, experimenting with shadows and composition,
but when I started to touch up the images this morning it was the more
broadly lit pictures that I preferred, which surprised me. I think I'm starting to get the
hang of editing shots, but as my last TF batch showed, maintaining consistency is hard. The main thing I've realised over the last few days is that I keep repeating mistakes, which I think comes from trying to rush and do shoots on the fly - basically, not being committed enough. What really helped me with this shoot was that I devoted some time to it, and got lots and lots of pictures, and tried different things as well. When I looked through the shots this morning I was surprised by which ones I preferred, but then, I gave myself that luxury of choice.
