Revisiting A Figure
Nearly four years ago now, friend Ben from the curiously named Midnight Tease removed a blight from his figure collection sent a thoughtful gift here to The Pond. Of course, I immediately took photographs... but even as I posted them, I was less than satisfied with the results. Everything was either too dark or too bright, and Rio deserved better, darnit. Well, over at the Anime Figures Subreddit, they run a bi-weekly photography contest and this time around the theme is "Smallest Figure". There's plenty of ways to interpret that, of course, but I went literal... it'd give me a chance to fix one of the Rio shots! Here's the result:

Yeah, that'll do.

Y'know what helps? Having a camera that can keep up with what your mind sees. That really makes a difference. There's some saturation boost, and a "vignette" effect that you would have thought was just lighting if I didn't mention it, but otherwise, that's the picture the way it came off the SD card. Yeah, that'll do.

Nicely done! And that really is a tiny figure, isn't it?

About 2" tall, yep.
