\r\n The tea lights work rather well I must say. \r\n \r\nHere\'s a photoshopped dio(I hope this counts). I found that the new Stiletto could make this killer pose and as I was editing the pics for the archive I remembered I took this fun shot of an alley behind Capitol Theater before it snowed. So I sized and lighted her digitally to match. The angles aren\'t quite right. I think I\'ll try some reshoots. \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n I was doing some yard work this afternoon and decided to try out an idea for a trench type position using sticks and dirt. I took a picture of Short-Fuze in it. \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n I was so busy in Orlando I forgot to check these updates. \n \nHOLY CRAP! That trench shot is AWESOME!! The scenery and lighting are just inspired. Great Job man!!! \n \nAnd I love that Tripwire shot. Something about the depth of it. And for a picture of green guys standing in green grass, it really draws the eye.\r\n

Hey, thanks! I’m glad you like ’em! Hopefully, I’ll get the chance to take some more this summer. \n \nI really want to do some ones with vehicles this summer. While my Joes are super accessible and super organized, my vehicles take some effort to get out because I have them in bins on top of one another. I got to work on making them more accessible.\r\n

I hear ya! My Vehicles currently make the base of the giant pile of boxes sitting behind me lol.\r\n
\r\n So I just got a new camera (as outlined in this thread http://forums.yojoe.com/showthread.php?t=153654 ) and got out back to start testing the capabilities and feel it out a little bit. Here\'s one of the shots. I put another one of the same setup from a different angle and some different settings in that previously mentioned thread too. \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n Congrats on the new camera! The archive will continue to be in good hands! I’ve probably said it before, but I’ll say it again, yojoe.com is the most important GI Joe website on the Internet. I think I’ve been using it for around seventeen years now. I think I first visited in 2000 when I got the Internet. I might be wrong. But, it was definitely in the early 00’s. \r\n \r\nNice dio, man. I love the location. It made me run out and take a few pics myself. I got one of Rock ’N Roll on the RAM out back and one of Zartan on the side of my house. I need to further explore using the later location because it’s got a lot of interesting stuff going on like foliage, stones, and stuff. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n Oh man that\'s way cool! Great idea with the Boss Fight blank. Now I think I\'ll have to get some blue ones to use as recent Compound-Z tests. Ooo, maybe a couple green ones to go with the Nano-Vipers too. \n \nAll that stone work, are they print outs? Or is some of that molded or textured? Either way it all looks great! I\'ve been thinking about having my brother machine me a big stamp/cookie cutter with a brick pattern so I can lay out some clay or plaster to make walls and stuff. But the list of stuff I want him to make for me is already pretty long and he\'s not really getting to it, lol.\r\n
\r\n I just found a good quality picture of tile online and converted it into a texture in Photoshop. This allowed me to create repeating patterns of the tile at whatever scale seemed to work best. I used a laserjet printer to print them out, them glued them down onto thicker cardstock before gluing that to mounting board. (I was making it up as I went along!) The floor is actually composed of four of these sheets. A glue stick was all I used as adhesive, though I had to do some spot touchups. \n \nThe walls were largely the same - high quality brick photograph converted to a pattern. The door was another image I placed on a layer above the brick. I skipped the cardstock bit here and just glued directly to the mounting board, though I left some of the printer paper sticking off a few of the edges as tabs. Glue and tape keep it together! \n \n\r\n
\r\n That creation of Serpentor dio is pretty neat with an excellent choice of figures and accessories. The printed parts are really 3D looking. \r\n \r\nI got a couple of pics today out back under some vines that provide a jungle like canopy. Well, at least in terms of shade. I took one of Airborne because that figure never gets much attention, whether vintage or modern. I, also, got one of one of my HISS tanks, which I got out of storage. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n Wow! What a difference a few degrees makes, lol. It\'s like seeing the back of a magic trick. \n \nI\'ve always been unsure about Airborne\'s color scheme. I mean I like it, he looks cool. And when he\'s in the air it makes sense with the blue. Just wasn\'t sure about the colors on the ground, lol. But you know what? That totally works. Looks great man! I noticed a "canopy" when I was out back trying out my new lens(my new camera didn\'t come with a telephoto, but I found a guy selling his 50-200mm kit lens on eBay for cheap) taking pictures of flowers. After these archive pics are done I want to go out there and get some shots. Just got to find the right team of Joes to take the mission. \r\n
\r\n It\'s been about a year since I last posted in this thread. Anyway, I was out back with my dog today and took this pic of Roadblock and Tripwire looking for a place to set up the 50 cal. \r\n \r\n\r\n

\r\n Thanks for your comment, turner. \r\n \r\nI’ve been playing around with a different camera. It’s better for indoor photography than the one I’ve been using, but not as good for outdoor photography. One of the drawbacks is that you have to get several feet away to take a close up. I can get really close with the other camera. The good thing about it is the rechargeable battery pack. It’s super easy and fast to charge, and doesn’t fall out of the camera when you open it to take the memory card out unlike my other one with the batteries that sometimes drop out. \r\n \r\nAnyway, here’s a pic I took today with the newer camera. I’ll just call it, Beachhead magazine change. \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n Nice work guys! \r\n \r\nBeachhead gets to go to all the cool places \r\n \r\nI was so busy shoveling that stupid snow I didn\'t even think about taking pictures, lol. I think I\'m going to scout out a place for the next snow fall. That Ice-Viper looks great!\r\n
\r\n Ok, so I took a break from processing Archive Photos to shovel snow. Then I Took a break from that to do some Christmas pictures, sort of. So in memory of the Christmas Armistice, Duke and Iceberg invited Destro and Mindbender to do what many people do in Utah(home of the Pit) during Winter Break with new fallen snow. They grab some boards and go drop in!! \n \n \n And yes, those are all my rare pre-production figures in the back row and my, I guess now rare, Club Membership figures dropping in. I wanted to get the pictures taken before the "slopes" melted. They were just the easiest ones to get a hold of. I mean, why not take a couple hundred dollars worth of toys and stick them in the snow? lol\r\n

I can appreciate how all of that came together between the figures and the posing.

Thanks man. Yeah, we got back from a movie and all the snow was gone lol. If I can I may go to where I shoveled cause it does look a bit like a frozen tundra.\r\n
\r\n Nice! I keep seeing those trees in stores and have always wondered how they would work in Joe scale. It kinda works. \r\n \r\nI like how you turned the set backwards. It makes that background look like it\'s further away, lol.\r\n
\r\n Thanks. The trees are okay. I picked them up in the 00\'s to use with my 1/32nd scale toy soldiers, which they\'re better suited for size wise.\r\n
\r\n So the day after some snow-blowing I noticed one spot that looked like a Joe sized avalanche. So I rounded up a rescue team and sent them to help! \r\n

\r\n Hey, Geek-Viper, I\'m not sure if it\'s just my laptop or not, but I can\'t see your new pics. Also, your one from the other day isn\'t showing up for me either. \r\n \r\nI took this one the other day: \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n That is a sweet lineup man! \n \n Yeah, it\'s weird. They were working at first, but now I can\'t see them either. Then I went to go change the link and suddenly the second post worked and the first post didn\'t. Man I hate robuts. \n \n EDIT: I tried a different way of doing it. Hopefully they work now. For a little bit a least, lol.\r\n

\r\n I can see them. Your latest pics give me a Hasbro catalog vibe for some reason, especially the last one. Maybe the angles? Anyway, they\'re neat.\r\n

HAHA! Funny how those old influences sneak up on you! I hadn\'t even noticed or thought about it. But yeah, it kinda does. I accept that tag with pride \r\n
\r\n I\'m really digging your studio stuff Alchemist! Great use of the depth of field. \n \n Before Winter is too far in our rearview, I\'m gonna post a few more I took outside. \n \n After a bad beat these Snow Serpents lead some busted BATs back for repair. Little did they know that Frostbite doesn\'t let bad guys get away that easy! \n \n \n \n Then I started getting a little artistic with it. \n \n \n \n These guys are really photogenic. \n \n \n \n Better give the good guys a close up too. \n \n \r\n

\r\n I like the second picture out of your latest ones the most, Geek-Viper. It\'s funny you should post. I was thinking about taking a picture out back the other day and posting it here, but I didn\'t get the chance. I\'ve been working on finishing up a music video for a friend\'s band in my spare time. Anyway, I made it out back today and took the photo I wanted of my Pursuit of Cobra Duke figure. I like the 80\'s inspired figures the most, but it was cool to see Hasbro take things to limit in terms of realism with the PoC line. \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n I took some pictures of some of my WWII 21st Century Toys stuff outside today using a new lens and I figured I\'d share. \r\n \r\nUS troops spot a German armored car along a road and get reinforcements: \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n Just jumping on to give you guys props for all your beautiful photos. I am partial to the snow photos growing up in the cold midwest. Also, Alchemist, the OG Joes photo was particularly rad. Yoseph Joseph!\r\n
