Are open-air photos (with real terrain) allowed too?

You can photograph your miniatures wherever you like. Many past LPL entries have (not always successfully, it must be said) been shot with floral curtains or milk bottles in the background. So if you want to photograph your miniatures in the garden and there is sky naturally occurring in the background, well I don't suppose that's any different to me photographing my miniatures indoors with a blue wall in the background.

Please understand the good intent behind the rule: it is simply that no printed (or on-screen) photographic backdrops should be placed behind the miniatures while they're being photographed, or afterwards using photoshop.
 
A plain or scenery/terrain background is the safest option

shame on me!! 

I must apologize. I misunderstood that part of the rules.

Whatever you need for amendment , just tell me.

[Captain Blood]

No problem. We shall go with what we have now

Make it simple. All backgrounds MUST include a milk bottle. :-)

But we don't have milk bottles on the island, just milk cartons

was about to say the same 

[Dr Mathias]

I may try to make a billboard scenery item with a milk bottle on it

[Drachenklinge]

why not having a Cleopatra mini bathing in milk, huh?

That could be going with entry 10... I have some minis by Brother Vinnie in mind that would fit...

Good idea.
Entry 10 - Cleopatra in milk bath + 4 servant girls + Milk bottle (something big)

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

I am confused about one thing. You paint a new team each round - correct? So why the bit about having to submit three teams at the start? Or is that to make sure people have got into the swing of things?

[Drachenklinge]

this ... and having the first three rounds settled I guess. So, after sending in the firsts, one has shown his ... devotion and has three more weeks for painting.

Prior to that rule, there would be one or two entrants that submitted one team and that was it... So, the same picture for ten weeks. As you can probably imagine that's pretty boring and throws off the matches because return teams get fewer votes, typically.

Just a word because I'm new in this competition.  I find no trace of the matching rules to determine who meets who in every round. This is random or there are rules? If so, which and where could I found them ?

Thanks.
