I have no idea what kind of light he used but I'd say its a pitch black room with this setup and a light to the upper right with a little fog sprayed in for effect. I'd really like to hear what you think Vader9900. Wait is that your shot?? How bad was my guess?

[QUOTE=Rick]I shoot almost all my shots with a lamp without the shade hanging upside down from a nail on the floor joists above my dio table and pull up or down depending on what time of day and angle of shadow I'm lookong for.[QUOTE]
It sounds like the bulb hanging from the ceiling is basically a "stand-in" for the sun in your 1:18 scale adventures. Cool idea!
Also, I agree with snakeling's guess on how the photo in question was lit.

You are very close Snakling except for the pitch black room.
Please to make it easier when you are talking about a specific shot in this thread, post a link to it to make it easier to find so we can discuss it.

Sorry Carlos, I do not. It was done with a single flash on stand to the cameras right elevated about 2 feet at 45 degrees. I used a grid snoot to restrict the flash and it was gelled with 1/2 cto to warm the light. Flash was at 1/4 power. Fog machine was left of dio, black foamcore was set up behind dio with white foamcore left and right to fill light. Fog was shot behind dio and ran between it and black foamcore and was bounced into the scene by the right white foamcore.

Take a guess, I took one on yours. Or see the last post on the first page of this thread.

You didn't say what the light set up was other than "neutral lighting". I would say single continuous light. By the shadows it looks to be camera left at about 90ish degrees, slightly elevated and by the reflection on the figures not diffused. It has a slight blueish hue to it, so my guess would be a CFL or LED (depending on the edit) and WB setting of your camera. How close is my guess?

Neutral? I don't know where that came from but everyone makes mistakes. When I say natural that means the sun. I don't really do outdoor stuff so, there is a window directly behind the set it was taken in the A.M. I'm big on simple set ups.
You can get some nice effects at dusk to on my dio (dining room) table.
