I don't know whos pics I love better,yours or Soups.
either way your collection pics are very entertaining to me.
you have a nice skill with the camera,keep them coming!

[galthisan]

i think these pics they are beautiful, brilliantly set up and executed.

"When dinos ruled the earth..." would look great printed onto a canvas as wall art.

[Soupie]

Yeah, I'd have to give the nod to Nico. My lighting is still too harsh, and I can't seem to get as a great a range in focus as Nico does.

[nicodemus]

Thanks a ton for the feedback guys. I'm glad you enjoy looking at my pictures, as I REALLY enjoy setting them up and taking them.

I think your recent shots of the Rubbery Green Cheapies are amazing. I love the use of the grey swoop as well.

[meatcutta78]

Abso-friggin'-lutely amazing. I'm just about dead certain you have a DSLR, which makes a huge difference over a point-and-shoot! (Though any camera would be an improvement for me; my P&S doesn't want to turn on anymore. )

[nicodemus]

@ Soupie
I saw the Rancor before Christmas, but since there's only one Toys 'R Us nearby (and it's exclusive to TRU), I wasn't able to get it. I finally found it yesterday and snagged it up! Thanks for the feedback...and don't worry 'bout me. Just layin' a little lower than I used to.

@ Meats
I don't think he had a problem digestin' 'em. And that's actually a funny part of this toy - the back of him opens up (a-la Mr. Potato Head) so I was able to just dump out the toys. Kinda strange.

@ Veers
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like the pics.
My setup is as follows:
Nikon D60 10.2-MP D-SLR w/ 18-55mm lens
12" light tent (coincidentally NOT used on the Rancor pics)
2- 10" Photo flood lights with 30 Watt Trumpet Top Daylight Balanced 5000K high CRI compact fluorescent bulbs
And hmmmm....there's something else........oh yeah...LOTS OF TRIAL AND ERROR!!

@ Jet-Mech
Yup...D-SLR ftw. Thanks for the comments.


See ya 'round everybody.

[musclemenkids]

And as Dan pointed out, these really are the best pictures i have ever seen of the garbage pail kids. Awesome, awesome awesome!
