Feedback desired
I took a few more picture sets with me on my travels. Processing them is a painful, especially the completely unnecessary busy-work on WordPress.com. For some reason I can only embedded images one at a time so apart from having to edit the HTML at the end, I also need to go through half a dozen menu clicks for each images. Galleries are easier but not very useful for this type of site.
Anyhow, complaining aside, I would like to hear from the (few) readers what kind of armies they would like to see next:
EPIC IG (new pics) or Orks
Warmaster Empire, Undead, Chaos, Dwarves or Orcs (new pics)
FoW US or UK Paras
Leave a comment to let me know what you would like to see first.
After a long struggle with GIMP, the EPIC Chaos army is up under Games & Armies\EPIC

Big stuff coming
DBA was the last “quick upload” (relatively small number of pics per army). I have photographed all the bigger smaller scale armies (Epic Orks, Chaos & IG; FoW US & UK, Warmaster Chaos, Empire, Dwarf & Undead). I am away from home for the next few weeks but will take the pics with me for long sessions of GIMP work while traveling.
After that I need to tackle the 28mm armies (WFB & 40k) which will be a bit of a challenge. I can’t achieve a deep enough depth of field with my camera to get more than 3 ranks of 28mm infantry and photographing WFB infantry row by row doesn’t seem reasonable. I might need to figure out some alternative technique to get the big blocks into a photo. Probably some form of zoomed out shots with lots of cropping (lower resolution but deeper field). We will see how that works. Any tips on photography would be appreciated.
Here is a teaser from the FoW US set…

Flames of War Germans up
As the first of the “bigger armies”, I uploaded some 60+ pics of the Flames of War German army under Games & Armies\Flames of War.
US & UK forces are in the photography stage right now.
I also had to manually edit every single image on the site since wordpress somehow decides to show all images at 1 pixel smaller than the original size. That downscaling with an inferior algorithm blurred many of the images more than necessary. As far as I could tell, a manual fix of the HTML was the only way around this. Note that as a side effect none of the images on this site are “clickable” anymore. That’s a good thing since clicking on them just led you to the same image with 1 pixel more horizontal and vertical resolution…

Man O’ War section is up
My Man O’ War collection is up with Bretonnian, Chaos Dwarf, Dwarf, Dark Elf, Empire and High Elf fleets in the Games & Armies/Man O’ War section. Also some terrain shots on the top MoW page.

EPIC Salamander are up
The first “big” army is up. A full chapter of EPIC Salamander Space Marines. These take a lot longer to photograph and edit than skirmish forces so the going will be slow…

Blood Bowl section is up
My full Blood Bowl collection is up with Human, Pro Elves, Dark Elves, Orc and Goblin under Games & Armies\Blood Bowl. Enjoy
All my Battlefleet Gothic fleets are up under Games & Armies/Battlefleet Gothic. Game overview, terrain, and Chaos, Imperial, Eldar and Ork fleets are up.
In a weekend marathon I finished photographing the skirmish cabinet (Blood Bowl, Mordheim, Battlefleet Gothic, Man-o-War, Lord of the Rings, and DBA). Mordheim and BFG is now up. BB and MoW are “GIMPed” and just need to be posted. LotR and DBA still need to go through GIMP. Now comes the daunting task of photographing the main cabinet… 800 minis down, ~4000 still to go…
