Helpful Posts: We visited the Ghibli Studio Museum, near Tokyo. While photography was forbidden inside the museum itself, images of the exterior parts were permitted. This image is one of the robot soldiers from Hayao Miyazaki's movie, "Castle in the Sky". The statue is around 5m / 17ft tall.
Link to the theater trailer - if you are watching for it, this robot makes a very brief appearance.

Re: Robot Soldier from Castle in the Sky
Very well exposed, Manfred...no shiny stuff anywhere not needed...and also against the sky, it is well rendered. What sort of time did you take this?!?

Re: Robot Soldier from Castle in the Sky
Nice image. I always wonder about the mind that can create something like this.

Re: Robot Soldier from Castle in the Sky
An interesting sculpture Manfred, worth while zooming in to pick up all the small details

Re: Robot Soldier from Castle in the Sky
That would have been fun to do, but with several dozen people lining up to have their picture taken with it, just getting a shot of the sculpture without anyone standing in front of it was tricky enough. I think I had a window of perhaps a second or two to get this shot as people rotated in and out. Originally Posted by gregj1763
