Week 46: Fluffy!

Week 46: Fluffy!
Figures: Nendoroids Rinko Kobayakawa and Manaka Takane
"Rinko and Manaka relax on the soo comfortable and fluffy blanket.

Rinko: I wonder when Nene will get here...."
Comment: This is so adorable! I love how I was able to put both of them in a lying down pose. Another one of my bests and favorites!

Week 42: Macro Shot

Week 42: Macro Shot
Figures: Nendoroid Drossel
"That's waaay to close to the camera, Drossel!"
Comment: I was going for a close up look at the floral design on her helmet. I guess rather decent I could do without a proper macro lens. And I know I should've dusted her off a bit better.

Doing quite a bit of catchup here, as I posted on the "Unforgettable" post. Since I'll be posting up one theme per post from this point on, it may not be too helpful to say what next week's theme would be...(well, @ least the next two posts, following this one are Fluffy!, and Dark)

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 27: Bloom

Week 27: Bloom
Figures: Nendoroid Petit Megurine Luka
"While finding a good idea for this theme, Luka comes to me with a picture from the San Diego trip.
Luka: 'How about this picture? Would this one do?'"
Comment: Didn't have a lot of time to think of this theme and I remembered this shot taken when I was down in San Diego in May.
 
Next week's theme (28) is "Summer Fun".

Week 26: Motionless

Well, rather than doing this one after Anime Expo, I was actually able to do it in the middle of the 4-day event, and on top of that with a figure I got there that I was surprised was there:

Week 26: Motionless
Figures: Nendoroid Petit Noel Vermillion (!)
"Noel waits anxiously as the doors to the convention hall open shortly for Anime Expo Day 3!"
Comment: I was completely surprised to find Noel here! I had the idea of having Noel staying still while the crowd in the background would move about, causing a motion blurred effect, but I wasn't able to set the camera up to do so. This effect works also since on Day 3, I was there 20 min. before they allowed anyone in. Then this inspiration kicked in >

This week's theme (27) is "Bloom".

I have my own coverage of Anime Expo 2010 on my main blog, if you're interested. Not hard to find in there, I've done so many posts about it already...

Week 22: "Arranged" and Week 23: "Aqua"

Here's week 22 and 23's photo shots:

Week 22: Arranged
Figures: Nendoroid Megurine Luka
"Luka set out some sushi for dinner. Hey who decided to include tako as one of them?"
Comment: The restaurant I was gonna get the nigiri from was closed on the day I was planning to do this one so that's why this idea got delayed.

Week 23: Aqua
Figures: Nendoroid Petit Megurine Luka
"Luka enjoys a quiet morning over a small pond in Seaport Village in San Diego"
Comment: Figuring I've been putting up some funny themed photos, not much on the somber calm type ones. I'll try and do more of these types.


This week's theme (24) is "Heavy". Again, I already have some good ideas in my head of what to do.

Oh! And the previous post before this one covered a past theme. Just making this note so it isn't overlooked...

Past Theme Week 11: "Nightlife"

One more past theme to cover:

Week 11: "Nightlife"....or rather the morning after
Figures: Nendoroid Mio and MikkuMiku Kagami
"Kagamiku is having a terrible hangover after a long night of drinking.
Mio: Sheesh, well that's what you get for drinking so much "
Comment: Was always looking for this shot, with the drunken-looking Kagamiku slumped over surrounded by beer cans.

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.
