Thanks for all the kind words, guys, I appreciate them!
The Stone Giant is from Majestic Bear and required only assembly and painting form me: http://www.majesticbear.net/products/2

Really, it's for my Misty Mountains army, but once I painted it I added it to the first army I could in order to play it!

What are some tips to taking good pics of large armies? I can do fine with models a few inches from each other, but once the depth starts getting as large as a second Company they just don't look as sharp.

The most luck I've been having so far has been backing up more and more so that the relative distance from my camera to my front models and my camera to my rear models is minimized, but this is also not often a very convenient position. :rofl:

Am I not considering something or is distance really the best way to keep the picture sharp and then just zoom it in during post production?

advTHANKSance!

Try keeping your f-stop high, it will let you keep more of the picture/your army sharp as it will keep a larger field of view sharp.

hope that helps

Thanks. Been a while since I played with that but I'll give it a try. Do you have a certain threshold you usually start with?

try 5.6 or higher. It really depends on how deep your army goes, just play around with it until it comes out the way you want it.

Hi, as regards photo-ing large areas in focus like a army, I found with a new camera I got, that has a zoom lens, is to set the zoom to max, then move the camera back and forth until you get the whole shot in the view finder. Put it on tripod or other rest, and use a timed shutter function so you don't get any camera shake on pressing the shutter/holding the camera.
There's probably more technical terms to quote for what I am describing, but this is the best way I can put it across for ease of understanding.

Wow...you have all 3 of your Trolls counting as Captains? :? Gotta love VH2K + Might 8) That should distract your enemy from Saruman pretty well. I've only seen 1-2 monsters of that class in a single force so far and really look forward to hearing how this goes for you.
