Week 41: Unforgettable

Week 41: Unforgettable
Figures: Figmas Saber, casual, and Emiya Shirou
"Ready?.......1.......2.......3......

AWWWWWW!!!!!"
Comment: Came out pretty well, finding an idea for this theme was a bit difficult.

Having a lot of things going on at the moment so I got backtracked a bit. Got a lot to try and cover before the end of the year...

More Past Themes Covered

Here are two more past themes I had to cover. Kinda surprised that I've covered so many missing ones already!

Week 9: Self-Portrait 2010
Figures: Figma Sabers (Original, Alter, Lily and "Extra")
"The portrayal of the many faces of Saber"
Comment: This was a difficult theme. This idea came up when I realized I had 4 different figmas of the same person, yet each of different personalities....or something... eh, I think it works well.

Week 15: Overcast
Figures: Figma Konata Izumi Winter Uniform
"Konata: Hmm, glad that I brought my umbrella along. Looks like it'll rain...."
Comment: This one was done off my camera phone. Good to have Konata and my camera phone handy for this shot this morning. And coincidentially, it did rain later in the afternoon! Ironic!

Week 40: Reflect

Week 40: Reflect
Figures: Figma Blackrock Shooter
"Blackrock Shooter yet continues to traverse the barren wastes on into the unknown future"
Comment: I had the concept: Just that it didn't come out how I expected. This will most likely be revisited later down the line.


An additional note, I am thinking of making up some new photos to revisit some past themes. Some I feel I could do better. Those might come back later down the line as an addition; not to replace.


Next week's (41) theme is "Unforgettable". This one's going to be a bit of a challenge.

Past Theme: Week 13: Pleasure

Week 13: Pleasure
Figures: Figma Mio Akiyama
"Mio take some personal time to really adore her precious bass guitar
Mio: Elizabeeeeth!!!!!"
Comment: Kinda done quickly but came out nicely. I tried to make it close to looking like she's kissing her guitar

Many Past Themes Covered Plus More To Come!

As I posted in my main blog, I have an opportunity this week to do more shooting so I'm trying to take care of some past themes while I have the chance.
This post probably has the most covered so far at one time (6). Here I'll list them according to date:

Week 6: Surfaces
Figures: Figma Blackrock Shooter
Comment: Have a mound of dirt and rocks in my front yard. Gave a good feel of desolate and ruined landscape that seemed to fit her pose well.

Week 12: Children
Figures: Nendoroids Rin Kokonoe, Kuro Kagami, and Mimi Usa; Figma Aegis
"After buying balloons from Aegis, Rin playfully runs off with Kuro close behind..."
Comment: Not really any comment. This one mostly came out how I expected it to be.

Week 14: Blurred
Figures: Nendoroid's Yui Hirasawa, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka, Tsumugi Kotobuki, and Azusa Nanako
"The camera goes off midway from Azusa adjusting the settings for their school club photo"
Comment: There were several ideas that came into mind for this; It almost ended up with a light writing idea. This one was pretty fun to do!

Week 30: Sky-High
Figures: Natsumi Hinata
"Natsumi enjoys her flight among the setting sun"
Comment:Had to hold this one up while taking the picture. I couldn't get a nice sky shot if it were set upright on the base (she's tilted forward for this shot).

Week 32: Best Friend
Figures: Figmas Azusa Nanako, Yui Hirasawa, Ui Hirasawa
"Yui jumps into the two in the middle of their conversation.
Yui: Hi Ui-chan. I wanna have some ice cream when we get home!
Ui: Y...Yui-neechan?! "
Comment: The idea was the driving force to take Ui out of her box. Seems to fit...

Week 36: Round
Figures: Max Factory Kousaka Tamaki
Comment: Oh I LOOOVE this shot so much! You can guess how this photo relates to the theme :P


Whew, ok, that's quite a bit. I just gotta say again that I love that one I have up for "Round"! I still got a few days this week so I will try and cover as much as I can. As for this week's theme "Daybreak", I'll put that picture up on the weekend.

Week 24: Heavy

Week 24: Heavy
Figures: Figma Emiya Shirou
Comment: My first idea for this one was to have someone carrying something or someone large, but this concept came out better.

The theme for Week 25: "Stand-Out".

Week 20: "Symbols"

Week 19: "Symbols"
Figures: Figmas Haruhi Suzumiya, Kagami Hiiragi, and Yui Hirasawa
"Haruhi: ? Yui, I asked you for ideas for this week's theme. What are you doing with all of those?
Yui: Well, this week's photo theme is "Cymbals", right?
Kagami: .................are you serious?"
Comment: Okay a play on words, but I liked the idea. I wished I spent a bit more time preparing this one though; I kinda rushed setting this one up.


Week 21's theme is "My Family". Kinda vague, I'm still thinking up some ideas I could do for this.

4 Past Themes.

Here's a midweek update covering 4 past themes:

Week 1: Square
Figures: Figma Haruhi and Kyon
"Getting ready for this year's photo challenges, the competitive Haruhi gets ready to frame her upcoming subjects.
Haruhi: Ready Kyon? We have to get the best themed pictures out there! We can't let anyone else beat us!!
Kyon: Right...Right...."
Comment: The thought of framing a subject with ones own fingers seemed perfect for this theme. Also sets up the perfect feel for this year's photo challenges! ^^

Week 3: Slowly
Figures: Figma Haruhi and Kyon
"Haruhi and Kyon enjoy a pleasant (?) and romantic (?) view of the sun slowly setting"
Comment: I kinda wish I had a better view of a sunset rather than from my front yard for this one. Maybe I will revisit it later down the line.

Week 4: Damaged
Figures: Figma Aegis and Drossel
"Drossel and Aegis came across several severly damaged computer boards

Aegis: It's no use Drossel, these are all beyond repair...

Drossel: Tch...what a loss..."
Comment: Found these being tossed out and came up with this. These were out in the middle of rain so more of a reason, I'd think, that they wouldn't have worked anyways. Did the smashing myself to exaggerate the damaged concept.

Week 10: Cleanliness
Figures: Alter Saber Maid Ver.
"Saber felt generous enough to clean my floor as I came home one day. What a sweet girl! ^^"
Comment: The suds from the soap didn't foam up high as I would've liked. Still though, I like the image and the concept.


Still chugging away to cover the other past themes...

In addition

I did mention that this blog was an experiment. I do have another blog, more general in my use. Please feel free to visit when you do so have the chance: Code Pattern Blue

Also, I came into this game late. I attempt to at least make the photos up until the end of the year. I missed a few weeks of this year and I intend to cover these themes in due time, here's a list of what has popped up since the beginning of 2010;I'll mark off ones I have covered in RED (Last Update: 9/29/10):

I already covered 3 and have them below:

Week 7: Lightness

Figure: Evangelion XX Chromosome Arael
"No Description"

Comment: In looking for a figure to use for the lightness theme, this one came to mind and I immediately made the shot. If I wasn't too rushed for time, I would've spent more time in taking a better shot. I still love this one though.

Week 8: Nature
Figure: Nendoroid Petit Churuya-san
"Churuya-san is awestruck by the tall tree and feels so insignificant standing next to it. Nyorooon~~"
Comment: Wanted to do a shot of this tree next to my house with the vines all wrapped around it. Churuya was handy at the time for the shoot.

Week 16: Wheels
Figures: Lucky Star Figmas + Ex Figma accessories
"The girls decide to head to school via a faster method"
Comment: The thought here was they are all traveling by means of wheeled accessories. I liked the idea but I think I overloaded it with all of them in a cramped area. But I spent quite a bit of time setting them up and saw it a waste not to use this. Well, a lesson learned.
