Another visit back to that set of photos I took with my father-in-law's resin sculpture robots...

Like the first photo I shared of this set, I really like how the lighting and the perspective sets the scene. Again, the way the flash light fell on the scene, it produced that dark shadow inside the archway - which definitely adds a layer of depth and mystery to the scene. On top of that, the way 35mm macro lens provides magnification while keeping a wider view of the scene really produces a perspective that allows the viewer to get lost in the scene without feeling that it is miniaturized. Additionally, having the robot looking out of the scene to the left allows the viewer to explore the shot without getting stuck in only one spot (and adds to the feel of the scene in my opinion).

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Tokina AT-X M35 Pro DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1, 1/100 sec respectively at f/8. Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash in auto mode and wireless control. ISO 100. RAW processing in Adobe Camera Raw.

I still need to get some more shots with this subject - perhaps in the snow would work....
