The 1st Foot Guards have to transport some vital cargo up thru the Adirondacks and they call upon Roger's Rangers for assistance.

Mark just got the same camera I use and the photo backdrops are from me. He has been admiring my photos since last year, asked for tips and I have been running his photos through photoshop so that he can post them on TF but the figures and composition ideas are all his. As they say "imitation is the sincerest from of flattery". Mike Miller is another one of my proteges:).

Thanks Craig. The FIW has become one of my favorites over the past year as well. That is both in collecting and in studying its history. Good to know that there are other FIW enthusiasts.

I like the photos a lot. I think the colors are very warm. Did you guys do that with photoshop, settings of the camera or the light source?

Hi Andanna,

To answer your question, it is a combination of the lighting I used (regular household light bulb) and some touching up that PolarBear did using Adobe Photoshop element. I don't yet have the Photoshop which is why PolarBear did that part for me.
 
Nice photo scene. I enjoy viewing the figures and scenery. John

I think that it is the lightbulb that you used. It works very well here.

Mark,
We need to see the actual lightbulb to verify that you are not doing something illicit, illegal, immoral or dastardly. That way we can lay our head on our pillows and sleep peacefully.;)

Shedding some "Light" on bulbs:

I have discovered that a regular white light bulb (60w) gives photos a reddish/warm tint.

A GE Reveal 60w bulb gives a photo a more bluish tint.

So if you are shooting deserts, summer, autumn go with white

If shooting winter/snow go with bluish tint Reveal bulb.

No matter what bulb you use the photo can usually use some color correction. That's why I ran Mark's photos through Photoshop: to increase light and cut back on the orange tint. It never ceases to amaze me to see the hidden parts of a photo that come to the fore via editing software,

Hope this helps.

Randy,
It sure does...I've got those CFLs in the 5300k range and feel like I always need more light-I should take some in the daytime for more au natural.
Thanks
