Lets see your best outdoor photos! (continuously updated)

ReverendSpooky wrote: Bad Wolf, I can't even believe you got those pictures with that rabbit!  Adorable, and in a 1/6 world, actually pretty terrifying.  And that last pic, the group pic with the wind blowing, and the big sky behind them, is epic.  Love it.

Thank you, yeah that rabbit really didn't want to participate very badly in the photo-shoot it took hours to persuade him into it.
I'm happy you liked to photos.

Some old shots, but definitely outside.

Nice shots, Pontiacvan!

Dude! You got your action figures wet! That's commitment! I think the depth you picked is perfect and you inspired me to make some "wet" shots this spring. ( should it ever choose to arrive! )

Always love seeing your work. These are new for me, except the giant white wolf, so I'm glad you posted. I like the arch/doorway, did you make that?

As always, thanks. The robot at the end was a fun project to paint. I like his personality.

Cool shots, PI. I really like your robot creations, and the weathering on them is amazing.

Another rerun, but might be good for a chuckle.

Not very chivalrous of him! But I did chuckle

Ouch. 'tis but a scratch?

Pontiacivan, that spot by the water is a great place to shoot! And I do love the weathering on that robot.

Dadrab, your comics are a blast as always. That knight is definitely a little jumpy.

Hunting in the undergrowth

MarkEl -- for a fairly simple single photo, this is remarkably effective. Pose, color, everything looks just right. I imagine he's an explorer woken by strange noises while camping in the forest and rushing out of his tent grabbing the first weapon he stumbled upon before looking for the source. I'm just wondering what he's hunting for. The spear seems overkill for worms.

BAD WOLF -- is she trying to slay the snow on that satellite dish? If I am interpreting the snow-covered object correctly...

Nice shot. Put him next to a stream or a puddle of water, and it could look like he was fishing the old fashioned way. Very nice.

MarkEl- I'm with GunernatorFan, well shot picture. Awesome in it's simplicity. I suspect he's hunting wabbit. Shhhh!

Here's a forced perspective shot that happened by accident. Nothing special, I just kinda like it.
A few other random shots

Rescuing a wounded Astronaut

Nice collection of outdoors shots, Pontiacvan! Most of them don't look sixth scale. I love the three where the robot is carrying the astronaut. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks man!
Here's a couple more from that shoot.

Hadn't noticed the shield. Nice touch!

Ooh. Cool. More robot goodies. I love these little guys. The weathering on them is outstanding.

Thanks! Those were my first attempts, I continue to practice!

Thanks all for the nice feedback.  The long spear is from an ACI Hoplite set and a bit difficult to balance.  At that range and angle, it looks like he's watching the ground for movement and hunting a mole.  ;-)

MarkEl wrote:At that range and angle, it looks like he's watching the ground for movement and hunting a mole.  ;-)

Sounds like my crazy uncle. He stands outside in his yard like a bird of prey; silent and still, with a pitch-fork at the ready. He watches the ground and listens for movement, when he sees them tunneling under the grass, he strikes like a cobra. Crazy bastard... but he loves that garden.

Here are some of mine (pretty eclectic I know!):

Take heart Merry, it will soon be over.

GubernatorFan wrote:BAD WOLF -- is she trying to slay the snow on that satellite dish? If I am interpreting the snow-covered object correctly...

Thanks, no she was just only trying to clean off the satellite dish and the large cleaver was the only thing she find at the time, it took her hours to  clean off that dish I think there was a HBO preview that weekend.

Great looking figures and photos Pontiacivan and tankgirlfuzzy!

Tank Girl -- they may be eclectic, but they are uniformly great!
BAD WOLF -- indeed. The things we do for HBO.

Yeap that is very true.

Nice shots, Tank Girl. Nice to see your Eowyn again. That was a really impressive mod, as I recall, and the photos with the Witch King were incredibly well done. I like your WWII shots as well.

Great pics Tankgirlfuzzy! The way the sun hits on the Eowyn pic is perfect!  And the tank pic with the foliage in the background looks so legit.  

And Pontician, the second shot with the Gasmask grunt, with the road in the background is one of my favorites.  The perspective is so spot on, and has such a great post apocalyptic feel.  Your bots are always a blast to see, and I just noticed the "hugs" and "kisses" on the pistols.  Love it.  And of course, your rust and weathering is straight up inspirational.

Thanks Reverend Spooky! Most people miss the guns, but I think the humor goes well with his character. While watching the Kentucky Derby today, it occurred to me I had painted him 3 years ago while watching the race. He's still one of my favorites.
I got lucky in every way when I shot the Grunt, from the angles to the weather. I really appreciate the compliment.

TankGirl Fuzzy: great work on the Tank shoot and your Eowyn as well. I agree that the lighting makes that photo!
