Registered just to comment as I love the topic and experience of taking beautiful photos to chronicle my games.

I find that its not really the camera that matters as much as it is what's a good shot, and what's not. Settings play a larger role than camera does as well.

These were shot using my smart phone, and people always wonder what camera I used. A smartphone is all, just got to set up your shot properly and choose your distance, angle wisely.



The most important factor I find is stability, so many people try handholding shots and get blur.






2000pt game vs surprise surprise an00bis again, on the upside he brought out a new toy he had just painted, a scratch built ghostkeel. I switched back to ultramarines traits and dropped loth for tiggy. Batrep is in the oven.

On the picture side, goin for a bit more neutral look.

Hell ya man, what you to this weekend? Nids for the win?

Can't this weekend or next weekend unfortunately (got an office Christmas party/car servicing and have to help my dad get a Christmas tree, respectively), but after that I would be good. And yeah, Nid could be a good shake-up. If I could finish painting my Sisters then I'd love to get them in for a game, but I still have to paint up most of their tanks unfortunately.

2000pt game, An00bis's tau vs Thanos's Daeomons. An00bis got his other flyer painted and whipped up some turrets for his strike teams. Thanos's daemons look amazing, a true feast for eyes. He just put the finishing touches on skarbrand and it was a joy to photograph . Batrep's in the oven.

Damn, your pics always make my minis look better than they actually are (some major mold lines on my Exocrine though and it would appear that Swarmy has a paint chip on him that I didn't notice til now). Epic game, it was a ton of fun.

love seeing pics of swarms from just over their heads. It really gives the impression that they are truly endless in number. Good job as always.

Wow you've really outdone yourself this time on the photos. I think these are some of the best shots you've taken thus far, well done. Thoese Daemons are very well painted and it's wonderful to see the CSM here once again for a very strong showing. Looks like it was an epic battle.

So that is a Colonial Viper. Very well done.

Always impressed with the pics, jaw dropping.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Put the finishing touches on a new terrain piece with clarence's help painting all the details, may I present "Sallieman's Gas Station". It's a big los blocker for the upcoming age of darkness tournament. Some futurama and idiocracy related ads.
