2017 calendar picture thread
im starting this thread because i have a few ideas in mind but have no idea which pictures i should keep, tweak some, or throw away and start over. i know there are a few of you with the same problems right now. maybe we can give each other some help and make this a contest to remember! no idea stealing! :p
so i was working on an idea which turned out like complete crap but i did manage to snap these two pictures which i really, really like. problem is idk if the quality is quite there. i am shooting with a cannon power shot sx510 hs point and shoot and cant quite get the images to focus 100%
now i also have this military idea to go along with my military. this one i am working on now but my battery died so this is from my phone. i really want to run with this idea because my dad has some cool props i can use and i think the picture could come out quite nice but at the same time i really love that first picture of the squarehead.

I like your first images but they're underexposed. If you have a tripod I'd recommend the same shot but with a longer shutter speed while on the tripod.
Most recently acquired: Military 2, Paramilitary 2 Tanto x2, YoJUMBO, Swayback, Siren, DLC Yojimbo 2, Native Chief, Shaman S90V, Para 3 LW, Ikuchi, UKPK, Smock, SUBVERT, Amalgam, Para 3 CTS-XHP, Kapara, Paramilitary 2 M390
Grail Paramilitary 2 M390 X 2! ACHIEVED!!

I do have a tripod. I'll have to figure out how to rig it up somehow since for that shot I was standing over shooting straight down. I'll play around with different shutter speeds too. Thanks for the tip.Liquid Cobra wrote:I like your first images but they're underexposed. If you have a tripod I'd recommend the same shot but with a longer shutter speed while on the tripod.

Those second batch of Squarehead shots are really nice.
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Ugh this is so difficult haha
Re: 2017 calendar picture thread
My first Spyderco and as lethal as ever. it's the one that started it all , the C01 Worker this one is fully serated. When Pink Floyd did The Wall, Sal was selling these at shows. Sorry for the picture quality i dont have a fancy camera.

I think I will go with the second squarehead picture in the second batch. At least I'll post it so I have an entry in and then see where it goes.
