More Close Encounters of the Best Kind (2 Viewers)

That's a great selection of effects you're using there H, really enhances the scenes.

Thanks Simon. It's just a wee experiment in doing things a little differently.
Some more coming up as soon as I've processed them.
Cheers

I'm using an effect called "Antique" in HP Image Zone to achieve that "washed-out and slightly out of focus" look in some of these photos, and I think it works in some snaps. I do have Photoshop Elements software loaded onto my laptop, but still have to make time to get to grips with that particular application.


I thought that shaky slightly out of focus look was best achieved by too many beers and late nights.

That's the natural effect.
This one's done via software -

Thanks Rob,
I think some of the WWII special effects work pretty well - and some don't. The photo's do look a little bit different after they're posted cos I'm using a new resize process. Still, if you don't try, then you'll never know....
Bit like those Naps, huh..??

A Nice and Simple Wee Napoleonic Display (Revised).

I reckon it's a bit better balanced now with the slight rearrangement of the figures. Raising the two mounted guys at the bottom of the display by about 1/2" helps as well.
Guess it'll do for now, until such time as Madame decides it needs dusting.....

Jeff,
I'm going to start off afresh and post those photo's here on this new thread. Won't be posting anything on the old thread in future.
Yeah, I had no intention of getting those camels until I saw them in HK a couple of weeks ago and realised how well they would go with the LRDG/SAS range.

Okay, here's the photo's again - and I'll post some more SOHK when I get the chance.

Cheers

H,

That's a great diorama. I don't know how I missed it the first go around.

Hi, where did you get those nice palm trees for your diorama? For how much $?

I am looking for nice cheap palm trees but JG and Buidarama too expensive for me.

Harry,

I like the way you have done this I see that you have a reasonable collection of K&C Napoleonics now as well as the Patriot French.

Jeff,
I've had those K&C Naps for some time now, as well as the Patriot ones.
The new Patriot Brunswickers really look the bizz, don't they just though. They are an absolute must-have when they become available and will finally end my temporary self-imposed ban on buying more Napoleonics.

Cheers
