Here are some pics of some 28mm Perry Napoleonic figures. The formed units range in size from 24-48 man. The skirmishers 16-18 and the cavalry are a 24 man unit.
All of the lads
Sort of a dark picture of the cavalry

OK, Someone must stick their head over the parapet (and we know what happens 2.5 secs later if you do) The figures are wonderful. The photography needs…..reconsidering. I will not say awful, as that would be politically incorrect these days.. Focusing needs much light and/or a long exposure or a wide open shutter (but then no depth of field)….even the simplest digital camera allows this now…if you have the cheapest tripod (sold by illegal immigrants in any tourist site) This is not doing justice to the modelling and painting. The Photography needed requires skills learnt in an afternoon (these days, now when I were a lad and we had 35mm Kodak Ektachrome…EEH, that were different….our dad..he'd come and and he'd thrash us and 'ed say "Ektachrome, EEEEH, you had it lucky, when I were a lad, we would dream of roll of film") (Can I now apologise to our those in the rebel colonies who have no idea what I am on about…indeed to those across La Manche who will now be using the drachmaa) |

Yeah, I can't take good photos with that camera no matter what I do. I took better photos with my phone when I had a camera on that. |

It takes a little bit of time to get through the controls on a digital camera. I use an 3x5 index card to note the settings as I take the shot, you can then compare the photo to what you saw and empirically change the settings to get expectations and reality to coincide. It's a pain but it is one way to understand the bleepin' controls on a digital. BTW, they are all different, camera to camera. |

Poor lighting challenges any camera. Open the shutter wide and you lose depth of focus. Long exposure to let in more light means it is essential neither the subject or the camera moves…….your subjects won't but you need to rest the camera on something and ideally set the timer for couple of seconds after you press for a take. You can change the ASA for "film" speed but you get grainier images. You did do it. 8,10, 16, 18 and 20 are great pictures! The models are superb Joe Fish's idea is an excellent one……. |

Here are some more pics. imgur.com/a/qKJNv#0 I tried to stabilize the camera by leaning my arms against the table but even the action of pushing the button moves it too much. I'm not sure why my camera phone was so much better. |

Pictor, the last link is better. Nicely done painting and basing. Who is the manufacturer of the redoubt for the artillery? Looks good. |
