For this one I tried to hold the flashlight over the lightsaber so it would sort of have the effect of lighting Mr. Vader. It sort of worked. I wish I could remember how I did this last year because I had the light more over the saber.

The famous battle between Luke and Vader from Empire Strikes Back. The Vader seems a little tall though, but this works. I like the lighting on this one a little better because it looks more like it is coming from the lightsaber.

This shot is a U-boat Commander. Many of the submarine attacks during World War II were at night and from the surface. I had the light filtered with a red party cup to give it the appearance that they are looking at a burning ship.

This is a pair of figures from the Vietnam War. I was trying to get the effect of them sitting in the dark observing the enemy.

This is a US Paratrooper in the doorway of a C-47. I was trying to get the effect of a searchlight locking on it.

A British Paratrooper.
I tried a couple of other shots but they didn't work too well.

I'll have to show my kids the Star Wars pics - they practically have the movies memorized :-0
Somewhere on my facebook page is a picture I took of Anakin and Obiwan and I like how it turned out much better. The Vader and Luke one is nice though but I did something with the Anakin one that I don't remember.
