Below are my five most recent miniatures related photos. These used to be freshly painted miniatures only, but now include game photos as well.
Brought to you by Flickr.
Just an experiment with photo editing tools: I took a photo I had lying around of a unit of my Post Roman Britains and photoshopped (I actually used The Gimp) a forest background behind it.
What do you think?

Bart- very nice. Which version of photoshop did you use? My daughter is going to let me borrow her version 7 for a trial run since I want to document my Macedonians. Cheers Graham
Hi Graham,
I actually used The Gimp, a free open source photo and image editing program, available from their website. I used ‘photoshopped’ as the verb, as that seems to be the preferred neologism for ‘changed beyond all recognition in an image editing program’.
Amazing work, Bart.
I sure as hell wouldn’t like to be the lone Saxon that happens to run into that lot. brrr :)
Ah yes, but the problem is that Saxons tend to come by the boatload not alone :)
Good work!
Although, as a computer graphics researcher I have to say the lighting and illumination is inconsistent between the figures and the backgrounds. ;-) ;-)
Look here to see some of the consistent lighting algorithms my group has developed, applied to 54mm toy soldiers: http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~graphics/CGRG.PUBLICATIONS/FFLS/soldiers.html

Although, as a computer graphics researcher I have to say the lighting and illumination is inconsistent between the figures and the backgrounds. ;-) ;-)I know. In fact, it was even worse initially. The figures were photographed with the major light source of to the left of them. I had to tone down the value of the colours in the left hand side of the figure image quite a bit to even get to this result.
Now, can your algorithm relight this particular photo to a more consistent lighting? Perhaps a good subject for a grad student’s thesis :)
