The game looks like it was alot of fun.

Very cool, thanks for the Batrep.

Great report!  Your photos are looking better too.  Love those gretchin as mutants!  One of the things I love about sci-fi wargaming is finding new ways to use the minis in my collection.

To achieve and experience a game to this standard of quality is the whole reason I participate in this hobby. Thanks for sharing. Any chance of some individual close up pics of the main characters?

Great report.  Shot in the burberry, what a way to go.

Thanks for the comments. I will try to post pictures of the characters when I find them on my photo bucket account (half the faction was painted a while back). Close ups of Vail's warriors and background fluff can be found here: http://s1.zetaboards.com/Post_Apoc_Wargames/topic/3570731/1/?x=25#new

The photo problems are down to wayyyy too many settings on my camera and adding extra lights to the game area.

BRilliant as ever Matt. I have to say - again - that that home made table cloth of yours is just working wonders for the Apocalypse!

I'm not really an expert on macro photography.  I'm pretty lazy when I take photos during battle reports myself.  I think your photos are looking a lot better over all and a little shake and blurr can add to the feel of the battle.  I don't know what kind of camera you have but I'm guessing it's some kind of point and shoot.  These camers often have a shutter delay which can cause blurr.  The shutter doesn't actually fire when you press the button on a lot of point and shoot type digital cameras and cell phones.  You need to make sure you keep holding the camera still for a second after you press the shutter. 

A small tripod could help out a lot.  Also you can check you camera manual to figure out how to control your focus. 

Not trying to dog on you.  I really enjoy your reports!

Thanks for the tips. I am still messing about with the settings of my camera (Fujifilm Finepix S7000). I use a tripod but I think I may be moving the camera when taking pictures. After the game I found I had autofocus switched off which didn't help. I didn't use the macro for a lot of the shots this time. Again better lighting seems to have made things better too. Its a learning curve.
