Those Romans came out really well. Great photography by the way, Mick. You must give us a tutorial some time. |

Thank-you nycjadie The WF Romans do actually look very good when you paint them up. The shield transfers are really good. Altogether I have 96 painted. Photography was done with a Canon Digital SLR. The best photos were done outside in the garden but out of direct sunlight. I placed the figures on a white melamine board. The camera was on a tripod and exposure set to 1/60 to get the best possible depth of field. I cleaned the photos in Microsoft Photo Editor using the colour improvement to pick out the white background. Mick |

Yes, I just started experimenting with outdoor pictures. It's so much better. Tough for me though, as I live in New York City. I have to wait until the I get out of town to photograph them! You can see my recent attempts here: nycjadie.wordpress.com I especially like the way the GW grass mat sort of matches the real grass and foliage in the background. Believe it or not, that was completely unintentional. |

I like your flags – what are they and how did you do them? |
| nycjadie | 02 Jun 2009 4:04 p.m. PST |
I bought the flags from Rick at the Flag Dude. He's based in the States and sells at the HMGS conventions. I had him make these custom and I believe he now offers them in his store. On retrospect, I wish the colors were a bit more vivid. These are produced on paper but he does silk as well. His ACW flags are amazing. |

Correction – The photos were done in Microsoft Office Picture Manager – it is a standard product in the office suite. |
