DAY 1: Thomas the Tank Engine

DAY 1: Thomas the Tank Engine - loved by children the world over.

 

Our very first image features Thomas the Tank Engine who is about to enter a long, dark tunnel, but don't worry he's not afraid because he has been through this particular tunnel many times before. Look out for another image featuring Thomas in the coming weeks which will explain a lot more about this famous little blue engine.

 

Note: I wanted the rim of the tunnel to frame Thomas, while the track leads the eye towards Thomas. This image was taken by putting the front of the lens into the tunnel, with the flash outside the tunnel. Thus when the flash fired Thomas, the white background and the track are lit but the inside of the tunnel remains in darkness. To ensure that the Thomas toy doesn't roll forward the track is on a slope and a small piece of lego stands behind Thomas stopping him from rolling backwards. Most Thomas toys were too small for the tunnel entrance, so I used a larger clockwork Thomas The Tank Engine.
