Here are a few shots from my Hoth display, there not very good photographywise, but I thought they were kind of funny, my main goal was to work on the lighting from my last round of photos.

Pathetic Rebelscum

Run Pilot! Run!

Check out the rest of the scene in the Forum

p.s. did that rebel pilot look familiar?

[RoryoCox]

Good pics Sok.

I think it is time for some more from me-

Enjoy!

[Rinconstar]

Thats an awfully tall clone.

[smokebelch]

Congrats on the Camera tag Burman- well deserved

Couple of new ones from me (its been far too long!)

Well I haven't posted any pictures in ages. For these few that I Have done I decided to try HDR Images. High Dynamic Range of HDR is a method of taking photos where 3 images are combined together, it works really well with building and landscape photography. When the 3 images are merged you can adjust various parameters adjusting the highlights, white level, black level etc.

Unfortunately with these images the technique didn't really work so well. But it was a great experiment. I think I will try again when I have more, 'better' light.

Lots of great photos in this thread and I haven't looked through all of them yet I recently bought a pop out lighting cube to photograph my models in, but I've only photographed one model so far, as I'm sorting my bricks and haven't had time. With the model I did photograph I had to improvise with the lighting, I ended up using a couple of torches on stacks of books

[smokebelch]

You smell something?...

[RoryoCox]

Brilliant photos Smokebelch, that Wampa looks fierce .

Skipper your pictures are really good, so much detail with HDR

[LuxorV]

Hi everybody, I've been following this thread every now and then during the last months, and I always thought I had to try some SW photography like this some day.

I took the occasion during this vacations and I'm going to show you my first efforts. Do not espect great lighting effects, though

First off, a AT-RT scouting the land (in the absence of the official one, I made one with some spare parts, so the colour scheme is a bit fancy )

This one I call a war tired clone trooper

And, last one, a K.I.A. trooper with what remains of his vehicle (you know, I had this charcoal at hand...)

Hope you like them

[RoryoCox]

Very good pictures LuxorV. I like the outdoors feel of it and I do like the last picture.

A really good start to Star Wars photography

[Brickus]

Great new shots guys, good to see more shots smokebelch.

Good to see you back, smokebelch.

Nice shots of the wampa, although it's the tauntauns that are smelly. Wampas are virtually odorless, which allows them to sneak up on tauntauns, who can barely smell beyond their own stench.

[RoryoCox]

Some more photos from me-

I tried some new techniques with this. Mainly opacity using Gimp.

[Skipper 24]

I really like your set of outdoor photos Luxor, it reminds me of mine which I did way back link

That opacity style looks great Burman. C-3P0 looks lost in mist of fog IMO.

Today I took some more photos in HDR. What do you think?

I belive it was a quote from the firts scene witht he wampa...

[smokebelch]

^^^ Ha ha, beat me too it- yep just a quote from Luke when his Tauntaun's getting a bit frisky

Nice shots Skipper, the Jabba one came out particully well. Lovely tones on the green fella, he's a hard one to light/ photograph well.

Oh and a couple of new ones from me-

Jabba's Wall Art

[Skipper 24]

Thanks for the encouraging words Smokebelch. Your lighting is just superb .

[RoryoCox]

Excellent shots Smokebelch, that close-up is superb . Skipper your most recent shots are very good, the detail on Jabba is great to see.

[Solscud007]

Smokebelch what lens and camera are you using?

[Solscud007]

I need a good macro lens. This was shot with a 1.8 f/s 50mm budget lens.

[XimenaPaulina]

Simply amazing photos as usual, smokebelch, Skipper, Burman, LuxorV.

@Solscud007: Your photos are brilliant too. In the eyes of a non-expert in photography like me, I must say your pics are crisp-clear and looks very good IMO. Great job! The winner for me hands down is this one:

I could just imagine time slowing as Vader and Boba held hands with the sound of love songs in the air...

[Inconspicuous]

Nice shots Skipper, the Jabba one came out particully well.

Agreed! You managed to make him look revolting- in a good way!

Oooh that hits the spot.

[LuxorV]

Thanks for the comments everybody

Now, seeing your latest excellent photos, I really think I'll have to try some lighting tricks
