November's banner will be anything the photographer wants. Of course try to keep it as untouched as possible but photo shopping is fair game. Make sure to go a little further out when shooting so your idea doesn't get cut when it gets sized to the banner. Now get some ideas churning and start shooting!

It's nice to break up the monotony of the week and try to get some ideas going for the banner. I try to put up a figure when I can. Plus, trying to beat Fled is quite the challenge. He has raised the bar a bit.

Five more Klicks to go ranger!

Here is a shot of a ranger squad on a long range patrol somewhere in some stan country!

Same shot but I lightened up one with publisher to make it a bit brighter --not sure which I like better

I think the first shot would look a little better. The second is almost too light.

Thanks man. Luck has been on my side, but there are heaps of photographers, dioramists and storytellers on here that are better than me.

But can they capture a picture to get up top is the question Fled. You sized yours up good for the shoots.

I was thinking a few figures coming out of the water getting ready to drag down a guard. That would be hawt.

Voting will be on Friday. If there are not too many this month I'll probably go through the "one shot" thread and look for some to fill in spots. TC has a really nice entry.

I went with a Thanksgiving Theme. I tried different lightings. I still suck at it.

Lighting is a bitch, always. We're not pros and to me it always has been/will be a struggle. Its not all that bad though Med.

@ Rick I like that shot, simple but effective.

It's what you think has a better shot WW. It's up to the voters to decide who wins.

WW is that still set up to where you could grab a spare figure and put some footprints in the snow behind the figures?

Just an idea, still a great shot. Both views are cool, but I like the normal look better myself for a banner

I definately agree after looking at it again, I'll add a couple more snow serpents or something in the backgroung. For snow, it was just a strategically photographed bed sheet that I use for photos. It works wel at the right angle as it is slightly fuzzy giving it a snow-like appearance, so I can't really add any footprints.

go with the normal shot WW

I guess I will

I'll try to get pics that need to be cropped done tonight. I'll have a thread up to vote by tomorrow night at the latest. Any last minute entries post up!
