Title: 1980s Terrorists
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 10 May 2019, 05:40:02 PM
These are coming along nicely
Especailly as most wear black or very very dark grey.
Chevron on Uli's shirt are going to be... fun!  :-B @-)

I spent so long going through each character to find what they were wearing, and then mostly they wear black, coz it's cool!

Now, what rules?

Nakatomi Plaza, Christmas Eve, 1988

Unfortunately, after trying two devices, I cannot get decent shots of these, as they are actually awesome!

Interesting set of figures, and good use of limited colours.

I do wonder if you are taking photos too close? Or your camera is struggling to focus on the figures, i the first picture the writing, and the news paper are super crisp, so its not the camera's resolution that is the problem. But it seems the camera wants to focus on the background not the figures. I'm not sure if you have a way of forcing the focal point? Or you can step back a bit, take a wider photo, then zoom and crop afterwards
