and 3 Osprey books
Army of Louis 14th
Jacobite Rebellion........this doesn't have that much on Ireland

Superb painting.   Really inspirational stuff.   Well done.

Truly beautiful - the restrained colours give them an "antique" feel.

They are a little brighter than they appear in the photo's. Lighting was a problem and using a flash took all depth out of the picture to the point that they appeared flat. A course on macro photography is needed now

You just need to increase the contrast on the image a bit, like so.




what flash setting are you using?

lovely work

All the pics in this thread were taken with a Video cam while i moved a day light bulb around, i just chose the best out of them. The pics taken with my camera have no flash settings available and all looked terrible to be honest. I think i need to buy that bounce flash ive been promising to buy sooner rather than later.

I take mine outside, if it's not raining!

[Redstef]

thats what i planned..the day before sunny, day of photoshot.....chucking it down. Teach me to leave it til the last moment i suppose. lol

if you need any info on units let me know and i'll see what ive got. Ive found the League of Augsburg forums very useful

Might be cheaper just to get yourself a mini-tripod and fire the still camera on ten-second delay. It's what I do.

For me, the photography has turned out to be WAY harder then the painting.
