ROUND 2 15mm Supers vs Plague outbreak

[Captain Blood]

[dijit]

love the 15mm supers, where are they from?

[TunnelRat]

The poor lighting on the pic for the 15mm Supers probably doesn't do the mini's justice.

[Thargor]

That blue tinge in your pic hasn't helped you this round Calimero.

Are those Deadzone minis in the second pic?

[Calimero]

I'll have "that blue tinge" for my first three entries... due to poor photography/image editing skills

The 15mm Supers are from Olg Glory (US).
The Zombies "extras" are from Khurasan Minis.

Calimero, I'm pretty sure the good Captain would accept a replacement picture for round 3 if you'd deliver one. Have you ever checked the white-balance on your camera?

[Calimero]

The good Captain already offered me to retake the pictures for these rounds but, a) I don’t have the figures with me since they were commission work and b) I’m not sure I could do better pictures even with a crash course in photography…  

[Drachenklinge]

But Your pics were far more better in LPL6! What did You do then? Repeat it, if possible.

[Calimero]

I’m guessing I’m one of these people that go from bad to worse in some domain…

Seriously, I now live in what we call a demi sous-sol apartment which is much darker. I’m also wondering if there’s something wrong with my camera as a lot of the pictures I’ve taken lately look kind of "grainy" when I use the macro option. That being said, I’ve tried to reset my camera and I think pictures for rounds 4 and 5 will look a little bit better… hopefully

I am by no stretch of the imagination a good photographer, but I found that my white balance problems pretty much went away when I started using a grey card for white balance correction.

I don't know what type of camera you have, but I now set up my lights, take an image of the grey card (I use a credit card size one) and load it into the camera's auto white balance setting. The difference it makes is remarkable.

The card I use is this one, which only cost a few quid.

[Captain Blood]

Calimero, under the circumstances - that you no longer have the figures - I am going to open your round 3 entry in photo editor and hit the 'colour auto-fix button'. Okay?

It sounds like the voters have seen enough of your 'blue period' for this LPL

Fingers crossed for the later rounds 

[Braxandur]

I have to agree with the blue tinge as well. I've been up against you in almost every LPL I participated in and the change in pictures is not for the better. Which is a shame, as I have come to appriciate your painting syle more and more. I hope you manage to get the setup better and look foward to seeing your next entries as well. a particular trick that I sometimes use is to take a halogen lamp and instead of using it for direct lightning, I aim it at a (glossy) sheet of white paper that I use for directing and difusing the light. How to exactly hold the sheet is a bit of trial and error

Are those Deadzone minis in the second pic?

Indeed they are. Really like how they came out for the most part, there is enough that I would like to improve, but I'll just do that on the next batch, as these were also tabletop quality for club games. (I noticed I I'm mostly doing that nowadays).

Sadly I can't see the highlights on the wonderful supers figures do to a poor photo its a shame really.

[CollarSarge]

I just looked at the 'blue' entry after a short photoshop colour correction. Impressive. So hopefully round 4 and further will reveal the paintjob in all his pride.

[Oldben1]

I have the figures!  

Do you want me to take a picture?
