Arcade

I don't think this is the best photo shoot I've done, but I still wanted to share.  I got the Replicade Tempest arcade cabinet for Christmas, and I Kickstartered the change machine last year and it arrived a few weeks ago.  I was dying to shoot them together, but it was a real learning experience getting these photos to come out right.  I wanted the screen and game marquee to be visibly lit up, but still really clear.  The solution turned out to revolve around getting all my camera settings to be optimal for these 2 features, then to adjust the lighting for the rest of the scene to match.  I actually got a few shots with a current iphone camera that did a great job of doing everything automatically, but I wanted to figure out how to shoot this properly.  I still have a long way to go as a photographer, but I'm feeling pretty good with the results here.  Will probably revisit this again in the future.
