Thomas & Friends

[superfly]

My kid's Thomas the Train & Friends set. :bsmilie:
Any advise welcome!

#1 - Thomas

#2 - Donald

#3 - Henry

#4 - Ben

for #1 and #2, you need to be careful of the bg
and try to fill the frame with your subject.

#2 bg was intentional. But seems like not a good idea eh... ;p

Will take note in future. Thanks for the tips.

What lens were you using?
It is either my eyes or the images appear a little soft or out of focus?

Was using my 50mm f1.8 and trying out with a shallow dof (f2.8). Only the face of the train is supposed to be sharp, at least that's what I intended... :embrass:

Except for #4 which I added film grain to hide the patchy bg...

Hey, I looked at your gallery.

Just need to photoshop out the glass of iced coffee and it would be great...
If you like this type of photography, you might want to take a look at the Nikkor-Micro lenses.
They are very sharp and have a nice bokeh

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for viewing my gallery! I'm still new to photography and haven't really decided what I want to shoot yet. :dunno:

Only when I improve on my photography skills will I think about getting better lenses. Unless the BBB virus stikes... :sweat:

These are very nice! I like the first two a lot... good colors...The Ben train looks a bit nervous...

Thanks for viewing!

Ben has got a twin And Donald as well. Will post those up once I get round to shooting them.

Are you a train collector? Are these your son's toys or yours???

My son is the real train collector, I just pay for it... :cry:
Very often, he'll remind me which character is not in his collection and bug me for it... :sweatsm:
