Experiment time
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, September 6, 2003 12:34 PM
I thought I'd try some different things out today. I took an 11" x 14" print of a plowed-up snowbank from last winter & scanned it for a background. Then I put the LaGGs into the pic. This was an experiment trying a blurred background, changing aircraft numbers (57 to 55), and a different way of doing a prop blur (LaGG on the right). Its pretty boring, compositionally, but we try out new building techniques on junk kits, so why not boring pics?

Nice shot. What about posing them over a frozen lake with the underside reflections facing the viewer? Neat idea.

Thanks, Sled, mtollens & Keywoth. I was just trying out new things, I didn't think there was much there visually.
Sled - I like a lot of pics in B&W also. I had to use it because the only pic that I had for a snowy background was from my last photo class. Everything was black & white. (art school - they are reluctant to do color photo). It seems that the majority of pics from my era of interest, WW II, are B&W "snapshots." I prefer to depict my scenes as they were seen by the participants, in color.
Keyworth - that's a great idea ! Unfortunately, I don't have any background pics of my own of that scene. I don't feel good about "appropriating" someone else's work in my own, or maybe my instructors have got me scared stiff over the plagerism laws ! I'll be looking for backgrounds this winter, though.
Thanks for the comments again !

This is a very nice work, Pix! Smile [:)]
It has an ethereal, eerie quality to it that is quite compelling.

But what exactly are you taping in that picture???Big Smile [:D]

Nothing, J-Hulk. Just a "prop shot" to answer 18co's question in a different way. Are you talking about the charcoal drawing in the background ?

I was jus' kidding ya with the "taping" Q!
My other comments were about the Laggs, but now that you mention it, is that a drawing of yours on the wall?

J-Hulk - yeah, its from my drawing class. We had to do 4 in a series. She didn't care for my first one (a rodent road-kill), so this one showed that page ripped to reveal this drawing underneath (guy standing under a stormy sky). At least it was different.

Well then, nice drawing, too!
And what kind of art teacher doesn't appreciate road-kill as a subject? it's the epitome of a "still life!"

Thanks, J-Hulk & Bob.
J-Hulk - What can I say ? She took her art too seriously for my taste, and I wonder if it was still any fun for her. I can't create when it becomes labor.
ardy - you're welcome ! Glad you enjoy them.
