Ruddy fantastic, Richard! Did you shoot it outside? The shadows look like the sun is beating down from right above.

I'd love to tell you these are in-game shots, but they're not. The trouble with in-game shots is that things never fall as neatly as you'd like for the benefit of the camera, plus you tend to get lots of paraphernalia, refreshments and gamers' beer guts in the picture... So this is just slinging the toys onto the table and moving them around for visual effect :)


Not to mention the ubiquitous gamer crotch shots, all to frequent in live gaming photography. Or perhaps you should try to forget them...  :?

Anyway, I am with you all the way you don't want gamers to come an ruin your perfect game.   ;)

Ay carumba!

That Tiger's got no chance against the mighty 2lb portee.

Thanks fellows.
It’s taken me about three years to get to this point. So give it another three years and I might be done!

Unless it's Nick that's playing, then it's lens flare from his shiny bonce  lol

Ah but Nick refuses to play ‘World Bore Two’, so we will never experience the table level gleam from the Malamute pate with this set-up...  ;)

Nor that kick-ass Tilly!

It wouldn’t be the same without your generous gift of the Tilly, Peder  ;)
A match for the kubelwagen any day, I’m sure... But maybe not the Tiger...

Ruddy fantastic, Richard! Did you shoot it outside? The shadows look like the sun is beating down from right above.

No, it’s in my games room above the garage... with the downlighters on. Usually looks terrible for photos of wargames, but with the yellowy spotlights overhead, and the shadows of the palms, it makes for a vaguely convincing desert ambience  :)
