I bought a set of 5 baby Godzilla figures recently, so when someone suggested this topic, I knew I had a good prop on the way for this.

DOF could have been a tad better, but otherwise I'm happy with this.

Setup was using a temperature adjustable worklight, with a piece of coroplast as a scrim:


Flashes just never worked well for me, and I found them frustrating. This is a convenient way of doing hot lights, so I may try more tabletop shots and indoor portraits in the future.


Usually when I enter a Godzilla themed pic, it will be assumed to be from another longtime member who is better known for Godzilla entries. I'll have to see if I am guessed as him in the comments.

Congrats on the yellow. My equal top pick (along with Lydia's). My father used to play chess. If it had been as fun as this I might have tried to learn to play too.
