Here's the scene setup on my kitchen table.

Again, I'm using two $1 Cheapo LED flashlights from Costco, with a $2 more high-powered flashlight behing the snake head to light it up a bit. When I take the photos, the room is completely pitch-black dark with the exception of my LED lighting.

Also using dark-gray thread to suspend the figures in their ninjostic poses.

I remove the thread lines from the photos in Photoshop CS3, using the clone stamp tool to use the background to cover it up... basically you can't see at all that there's anything suspending the figures in the photos, and that's coolio in my book. Action shots are a blast!

Cheers! ~ Paul.
