photos&miniatures

[Alastair]

it was again such a ridiculously beautiful day
the sun was too bright to be looked at
let alone to be photographed with my crappy camera
but i did take a few photos
these two of which i am happy with

and some while ago i painted some warhammer miniatures

it took some patience, they're about one-and-a-quarter inches tall
what a geek i am

I ;like 40s.
I like 45s, but less than 40s.

they r very pretty
if 40s was larger, and the right aspect ratio, i'd use it as a wallpaper

Wow, I have total admiration for the patience you needed to paint those teeny tiny figures! (Nice job using the matchstick for reference. ) The detail on that one guy is awesome.

And, like Serge, I like both photos but I defintely like the first one (40s) much more. The other one is good, but almost cliché. The second one connects small scale (the grass) and large scale (the sun, and the greater unknown!) and just looks so mysteriously/ponderously cool!

I like 40s a lot, it's really pretty

And I'm impressed by your painting skills

i cropped 40 because of a stupid lensflare but here's the original if you'd liek to use it regardless

That's not necessarily a bad setup, Alastair. It has a good potential and I would personally try and do a silhouette of 40s.jpg. Have a model placed behind the grass and enough to cover about 1/2 of the washed out sunlight. I think that would look great.

I actually like 45 a tad more. For some reason I just really like how the tree looks. 40 is great with all the greens. The border really seems to fit it.

it kind of reminds me of Lake Hylia.

Wow. Both of those looked amazing. I love shots playing off the sun like that. Good call.
