September Banner contest- "Get to the choppa!"

[Wild weasel]

He failed the test. He's one of them!

I only know that because I put the research in to see if they'd work for the train layout I planned, close, but no bananas(HOscale is 1/87)

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

suuuurrrrrre...






did some test shots today inside and took some measurements...then went out real world with said measurements to see if my shots would line up w/o urban sh!t in the background...seems like it should work out well...

now, how do i convince my wife to go out by a main road and help me take pictures of toys in broad daylight?...hmmmm

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

You can persuade her Eddie. I'm sure you've convinced for worse.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

yeah, she married me, ZING!

 

[NSA]

I wanna do dios. *pouts*

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

uhhh, then do them?

 

[Rick]

Yeah nsa, what's holding you back? Pack a joe bag and go for a hike in the angeles crest

 

[NSA]

I'm moving this month, everything is in boxes, Angeles Crest is like forever away from here, and it's freaking hot.

But soon.. soon.. winter hibernation is good for dio-motivation.

Nice cropping! looks good.. the camo over the body almost makes it too hard to see haha

 

[thecorporation]

it's actually a bit of tin foil, my attempt at an emergency blanket. The reflecting sunlight on the crinkles does make it look like camo, though.

 

[thecorporation]

just realized i didn't put the rear stabilizers on in the one shot, so i re-cropped it

 

[Monkeywrench]

Here are my entries for the contest.

really like the first one

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

heres my 'choppah' submission...gonna need some cropping off the top and bottom, which happens to make it look better...

got a lot of bug bites getting these shots...BTW, my wife helped me out A LOT!...she was a trooper...

 

[Monkeywrench]

I like it Eddie

 

[Meddatron]

So far so good this month. Gonna be a tough vote. So far I think all the entries are outstanding.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i like the pic in post number one the best so far

 

[Blowtorch]

Here's my entries

 

[custer7thcav]

added 3 more pics in my previous post earlier in the thread.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

think i like the 3rd one the best custer

 

[Monkeywrench]

Here's my entries

really like that BH shot

 

[SR_501]

What's the deadline for submission?

 

[snakeling]

really like that BH shot

I'll second that. If the light was just a bit dimmer he would cease to look like a toy. This'll probably get my vote.

That has my early vote too

 

[Blowtorch]

That has my early vote too

Thanks guys.

Blowtorch, I like those shots, but I wouldn't stretch them to fit the banner. I'd crop them instead.

ya know, i was starting to wonder if it was just my setting or something bacause no one else was saying anything...glad i'm not crazy

 

[NSA]

You are crazy but the pics are distorted

 

[Skyhawk]

And the only Hilo I have is a Joe Locust... 2 of them... Maybe I can make it work...

Ok that will work. Hopefully I can get in a few more pics before the deadline.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

These all turned out okay... Not super happy with them, as you can see the corner, baseboard, and chopper shadow on the wall, but for a quick backdrop, our blue dining room walls sufficed for sky at 12am at night...

I think cropped, one or two may work?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Also, maybe this one...

 

[Rick]

Littlebird Down (photoshop by Rusforce)

Low Light Desert Drop Off

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

both are awesome Rick...still love the little fires on the downed on...

MR, i think the 2nd one would work best, it looks really good...the others have shadows cast on the wall by the flash...

 

[Keenan]

The downed chopper is awesome. Totally dig that picture.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Rick-

That downed chopper one is WICKED!!!

 

[Monkeywrench]

Rex-

all of them are great shots, my favorite for the banner is the last one that's overhead

 

[Fled74]

Rick's shots get my vote.
Wich reminds me, I need to get off my fat ass and take some photos.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]
