Everyone either complains about the ACBA or the lack of alternatives. Let's see some great shit from other artists and sources.
This is not a photo general
>>6135774
I nominate sgtbananas (OP pic) on Instagram along with captaindangerous (pic related)
browse instagram tags lazy faggot
i don't like execessive photoshopping
>>6135778
Wow that's pretty cool
>>6135791
I started this thread because of a discussion in one of the threads. The one titled "I heard /toy/ has been talking shit" with the black guy wearing all the morphers.
Basically someone challenged us to find ACBA alternatives.
>>6135807
That one is Tumblr specific, I'm looking for a more universal thing. Instagram, Tumblr, Flickr etc
And I'm not sgtbananas, just a fan of his work. I'm actually loadedtomcat84 on Instagram.
Chances are you've seen my pics somewhere on /toy/
>>6135795
She's awesome. She was made a Brand Ambassador by Nintendo and featured in the magazine. She actually inspired me to get a horse for my Link (pic related)
The color is a coincidence, some guy on Reddit was selling it and it also happened to be the white one.

Fuck me that's edgy
I used to really love these pics from this French guy back on /toy/ years ago.
I forget his tripfag name. I know anyone can make lewd pics with their Figmus but he did it with a little style.
>>6135774
Trying to figure out what that stormtrooper was doing to cause his body halves to fly like that.
>>6135793
Most photographers that shoot in Raw use at least some level of photo manipulation; otherwise it'd look like washed-out and slightly muted.
For you I'd recommend Kixkillradio and other people on Flickr, especially people doing Figmas. Lots of bright natural light.

I'd also like to point out that this is an example of a diorama done right.
Nobody's going to mention rasberrychainsaw?
>>6135861
Raquiel, I think.
>>6135969
Not bad but the overblown white background used in a lot of toy photo tumblrs make it a bit boring.
>>6136016
Yes, that name seems familiar.
>>6136042
Kek
I thought he was referring to that SUPER lewd guy with the cum and sculpted nipples/dicks
Some tumblr with "toy box" in the title
>>6136058
Lewdest thing about these pics is the nice black bush. Mato flashes it in the next photo in the set from this one.
>>6136025
Have you even checked the rest of their stuff? Do you only look at the background of shots?
>>6136025
>alot of toy photo tumblrs
Which ones, I need some to follow
>>6135969
How is that even good? It's uninspired and boring. No background, stance is random, also random choice of figures.
>>6135861
ah shit, I know who you speak of. I followed him briefly on Tumblr and MFC...
Firmin 2007 or something?
>>6136265
It's funny. All his stuff are about the figure, the posing, and a visual gag.
IMO a white background is more interesting than the whole alley duo thing
>>6136695
the posing is super stiff and random. and i don't even see a visual gag there. is this supposed to be art?
its really bad and nonsensical.
Also, there are other backdrops you could create other than alleys.
>>6136265
Easy there, George Lucas. The focus is purely on the toys. A great picture doesn't mean you have to cram the frame with as much shit possible.
>>6136780
well yeah, its in focus and the lighting is good. its a product shot. good job, super toy phorography. bravo.
Scher P on Flickr
Great use of natural light and dioramas that are actually good instead of the shitty ACBA alley. Some doll and statue shit though
https://www.flickr.com/photos/scherzelle/page6
>>6137480
Nice
>>6135793
CUTE!
>>6137480
>shitty ACBA alley
been seeing that a lot on instagram
>>6137684
Well then you're following the wrong people, just like the schmuck who thinks that Tumblr is a terrible place for toy photos
>>6135774
Sgtbananas always posts the same edgy lazy top 10 anime villains shit like this. Always far too much fake blood. Talk about one dimensional. Same angles same compositions. And you guys complain about alleys. FUCKING LOL.
>>6137832
You seem to be a Godtier toy photographer. Show us how it's supposed to be done
>>6137851
>implying you have to be a master painter to appreciate, dislike, or critique paintings
Cmon anon i dont have to do it myself to know its shit and one dimensional. This guy is as bland and repetitive as worst of ACBA. Not to mention its all edge lord pictures.
>>6137913
So in other words you don't know what you're talking about.
Figured
>>6137832
>so much blood
The only thing repetitive about his shit is the debris. You could say it's his signature look. His shutter speed game is on point but admittedly a tad overused but to say his shit as a whole is boring, uninspired, or in any way, shape, or form as good or worse than anything in ACBA is just talking out of your ass.
I'm with >>6137851 on this one. You can talk all the shit you want but if you can't do it any better nobody's going to take you seriously and you just come off as some tasteless and bitter autist with nothing better to do
>>6137938
Pic for reference
>>6137938
How does Sgtbananas get that debris effect?
>>6137947
Set the camera down or on tripod then focus the picture, then set to a high shutter speed on continuous shot.
Go to the scene and off camera gently brush sand or whatever toward the figure and lay on the camera with a remote. In pic related he's sprinkling some baby powder or flour or something from above.
For blood effects he squirts food dye at the figure and 'shops out the stream.
Dig around his gallery and he has a few "behind the scenes" posts
Peep this chick if you're into Nendoroids
>>6137851
>>6137938
>The fallacy is that a person who is not capable of producing a better item does not have the moral high ground to criticize it. Example: "I don't like this chicken." "Hmph! Let's see you try and cook it better!" It's a way to make a personal attack by criticizing an argument. The complainer is essentially accused of being unreasonably demanding by finding fault in something that he or she couldn't do better.
>>6138018
Basically, yeah
Again, nobody cares what the layman thinks.
>>6136276
Are those line effects from miitomo?
>>6137788
At least you can easily save images from tumblr though, cant do with instagram, especially on tablet from the app.
>>6138420
Best you can do is screenshot
>>6138422
meh
>>6138420
View on your computer then. It's pretty easy to save Insta pics from a PC browser. And they'll save at fullres too, unlike screenshots.
>>6138444
Yeah I know, just weird that they dont let you save pics with the IG app itself.
Right click on pic
select view page info
select media
scrll to pic
click save
>>6138446
Well, they don't really want you to. Even on desktop, you can't outright save pics, you need to view page info and save it from the list of media on the page.
If you have a jailbroken iPhone, get Instagram++ from Cydia. It'll let you save pics from the app (and do a bunch of other stuff too IIRC).
>>6138452
Oh that's way easier. I've just been inspecting the element all this time.
>>6138456
I use RightToClick plugin on firefox
>>6138726
I looked this up, and it's apparently been yanked off the internet everywhere I checked.
>>6136778
Dicks out for Harambe. Thats the joke.
>>6137924
>only someone that takes photos of things can know how things look
Confirmed for retard sgt_bananas ball washer
>>6137941
Wow they are all the same picture how inspired
I will admit this was good when i first saw it but how much can you look at the same photo?
YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING INSANE
>>6138026
Good so nobody should care what you think if you like him because you are a layman as well.
>implying the layman isnt the consumer and therefore has the best unbiased opinion on the product
>>6137941
Loving how he uses particles to make a pretty generic picture look somewhat interesting. Take them out and the pictures are pretty average.
>>6139339
Huh, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/righttoclick/
I'll be fucking damned.
Well I still have it and it still works for me, if you know which files you need to make a plugin out of it for yourself I'd upload them cause I dont know how.
Anyways, the other method is also viable at least >>6138452
