Karloff's "monster"

this is a miniature (head is 2" diameter) model, very nicely detailed.

i lighted it with a mini pocket light (jittering it from above) and had a white reflector angled on the table below it.

then added a glow effect in postprocessing (which is why i didn't post it in the "snapshot" thread)

 

the eyes were extremely sensitive to how the light was jiggled .... i had thought otherwise.

 

not what you'd call a street capture, but fun to create and this guy still looks scary after all these years.

Dave -

 

Very clever production method, and the light, contrast, tonal richness and framing are all first rate.
