Otherwise very nice but too shallow depth of field for the task.

When Terminator came out, it was challenging to film the shooting scenes because they were in low light situations and they wanted depth of field to cover the guns as well.

and they succeeded it very well for given immersion back then.

And this is again something that many whos ultimate goal always is shallow depth of field when it comes to people photography and so on totally disagree without realizing why deeper depth of field is most often wanted and used.

No surprise.  He did say "I'll be back".

This is the Hot Toys T1 Arnold right??

I find it hilarious that the people above seem to think that this is a real person :'D It's a 12 inch figure Hence the DOF.

Which shows how awesome the Hot Toys figures are!! Got Hot Toys Wolverine (from the last Wolvie movie) myself. I LOVE toy photography like these! Awesome work!

Great job

And very nice makeup work as well. Maybe a bit shallow DOF on the guns shot, as mentioned, but otherwise, very nicely done.

Love the toned down lower key PP.

Like i said above, it's not make up, it's a Hot Toys 12" figure. They make amazing stuff like this Arnie. Kinda tells you how amazingly well done they are, and at only 12 inches at that!

Great great photos though, I love the background, posing, composing and light. Great stuff

I know what you are trying to say as i normally shoot @F7-8 in controlled enviroment(External Flash)but since this was a quick shoot(5 mins), i chose this look as i wanted to stay under 400 ISO.

Haha Yeah  Thanks to the smaller sensor of the MFT it is more in focus compared to a full frame camera:-P. This is the MMS 238 Battle Damaged T-800. This is my first Hot Toys so i am bit careful while fiddling with him. He looks badass with his gargoyles :-P.

I shot this @5:50PM just before sunset in India. You get some Beautiful soft light and i also used a white diary as a reflector :-D.

A toy???? Wow. It really fooled me. Amazing detail. Now that I know, there is something odd with his pants. The fabric looks a bit too thick, and now I know why. Same with the silver gun, now it looks funny.

Really amazing stuff. Great job.
