    Changing the camera angle is also a good way to mimic scale. You can turn a small toy into a life-size character or make a dinosaur appear huge. It also helps to make sure that local vegetation lends itself to the scale, so as not to give away the trick.

    When my wife and I were on RV vacations I would take along some Disney figures to take some more interesting photos. I'd combine three photos into 3-panel comic strips with dialogue bubbles that told a simple short story. I didn't realize that this was a legit genre of photography until I stumbled across one of your vids.
    One trick I use from time to time is to position a mirror to get those hard to do angles. So to get an upward angle, put the mirror on the ground, tilt or angle it then take the photo from above. Dunno if you do that already or have considered it.
    Anyway, you've got me keen to get more creative with this. I have a bin full of action figures... time to bust them out.

    Great tip..on turning the phone upside down. I can't wait to try that. Keep up the great work on your fantastic content.

    Can you try to do a video on figures that don't move, like how can they be positioned? I have a buzz lightyear figure that was from McDonalds but the arms and legs don't move. I want to do something creative but can't figure out how to set him up since he doesn't move. Also funko pops if you haven't done that already

    I've found that close-ups are the ones that come out best for me.

    Referencing turning your camera phone upside down for shots ( a tatic I employ often), can you turn your digital camera upside down as well? Also, a video on Nikon vs. Cannon vs. Sony, pros & cons would be super helpful for us beginners who've yet to make the switch from phone to digi-cam. Thanks!

    • @sirdork730
      @sirdork730  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s an interesting question! I don’t see why not! I’m sure you could flip your camera upside down! With where the lenses are on a phone, it really makes a difference!
      Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve never really used a nikon actually. But all of the brands are great, and can get the job done for sure!

    • @ronnquinn2146
      @ronnquinn2146 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cool, cool. 🙂 Also, when I said "a tactic I employ often" I meant too point out more clearly that I was in fact referring to my phone. I have a series of toy photos that are shot from behind the wheel of my car on my dashboard. And to clarify, I am parked somewhere when I take those shots 😏
      Unfortunately, a good digital camera is still well into my future 🤞🏽📷 📸

    Tutorial on lighting please. I’m in the uk and as we go in to winter it’s usually grey and raining most days and although I have a ring light it doesn’t make very good pictures. I’m trying to learn my camera but end up going back to phone on inside dark days 😢… any help would be great!

    • @sirdork730
      @sirdork730  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you!! I miss being on insta 😭 I actually did a tutorial on all my best lighting tips! I’ll link it below! Thanks so much for always watching and supporting!

    Dirk how about a video on Merging Clip Pic.s into another Photo ? I'm working with Photo Elements and attempting to get in the swing quickly ?! Thanks !!!

    • @sirdork730

      Hey Jon! What do you mean by clip pics? Like a screenshot form a video? That would be the same as merging any other photo together!
