Conte ACW Play Time (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Joe Baker and I have gotten together again today for a little play time in my "man cave/basement". Here is out first photo - I am the potographer and Joe is the editor. It only took a matter of minutes to set up the photograph but it took us 45 minutes to an hour to do the editing - we are using two computers - my desk top and his lap top - and we ran into some communication problems which ate up some time . . . .

Very nicely done Joe, and as always very creative photography work. Nice to see some of your Chicago OTSN acquistions in use. HUZZAH!

There seems to be a great bunch of choices for ACW. Love the older Conte. I have quite a few sets. Hard to beat for action!

Thank you.

Hey Joe - Great to see you playing with your ACW figures again. Very nicely done photos . . . nothing like a hot afternoon stretch of ones legs on a dusty country road.

Getting a scene just right is a process of trial and error. (I'm jealous of Mestell because he gets such clear, in focus, deep depth of field shots so effortlessly.)
This shot is a little closer but still not as sharp as I'd like it. I need to get further away to take the shot but that will mean moving a bunch of stuff to make room. Or maybe I'll give up on the early morning lighting and change backdrops and use more light.
