Look-a-like box shots

Post by stkhlmdk »

Hi, I was challenged by my friend last night to try and make some "look-a-like" shots of a Moray boxed item so what do you think about the outcome? ;-)
I have included some shots from an earlier session which I intend to include on my site eventually.

excellent Rene, the scrap iron shot at the rifle range is very well done.
CIA got you pushing to many pencils.

Cool!

Try applying some extra contrast by slightly changing the curves in photoshop: CMD-M (Mac) / CTRL-M (Windows). It makes the images less dull in colour.

I shoot all my pictures in RAW but sometimes I am too lazy to adjust much other than Exposure and Fill lights :-D

Fantastic idea and some great pictures.

Last christmas I was planning to recreate the christmas cover of BAF (the one with roadblock and the atc on the front) but didnt get time. Also had the idea of recreating some of the palitoy box and Annual toy pictures which is where my idea of a sandpit in my bedroom came from...

Thanks all :-D My idea with these shots where to create a mouse-over effect with the original box as primary and then you would see these shots when moving the mouse across it. My biggest probem is that its difficult to find some proper frontal shots with colors and details intact (had to use both Moray links to recreate my setup) to use for this project so for now its in a holding pattern ;-)
