King Blobbinal!

Today I took a close up shot of some toy figures.  Not true macro photography, but fun none the less!

This is my attempt at recreating the King Kong iconic scene, using a Blobbinal and some block action figure and plane.

King Blobbinal on the Empire State.  Taken on Canon 650D with Canon 17-40mm USM L Lens.  F8 1/13 Second for the model parts of the image.

I took this by placing the plane on my 100mm Macro lens with a cotton real to support it.  The image below show the model setup for anyone interested.  The light was provided by my new Apurture Amaran LED light.  I then selected the models and put them on a new layer in photoshop using the quickmask tool.  The background is an  recent sky shot I took over the Christmas period.  The dots that I think look a bit like falling rubble are in fact a flock of starlings.
