Maintaining the Dark Side

"If you want something done right you have to do it yourself."

 

Vader turns in his light-saber for a squeegee. He must clean the windows on his Tie Fighter before he goes out and does battle with the Jedi force.

 

I was helping my mom move and came across some of my toys when I was a kid. This original Tie fighter is almost 30 years old. It is in pretty good condition except for some dust, so I came up with the idea for this shot from it being dirty.

 

Strobist:

 

SB-800 with shoot-thru-umbrella @ 1/8 camera right, fired optical slave

Qflash behind toy @ 1/64, fired via sync cord

Fill cards on both sides of toy
