You have some amazing photo-shop skills there!

Thanks very much!

nice scorpion pose

Another fantastic shot!!!

Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes set-up for the shot!

I used to think it spoiled the final "magic" by not leaving it open to the viewer's speculation, but now I really enjoy the "how-it-was-done" scenes between comrades here on AMMO!
Great work!

Great work!

Thanks very much! I always loved the 'making of' documentaries for films, so I hope it's pretty similar!

Oh me too! I really enjoy seeing the creation of the "magic".
Particularly before CGI became so prevalent, when they had to do all those amazing things "for real" in scale.

Right from those early Biblical epics, King Kong, the brilliance of Ray Harryhausen, and specially those old ship battles, both sail and steam!
And what about those incredibly detailed buildings and cityscapes that the Japanese model-makers made for a man in a rubber suit to stomp on?

The Adventures of Brace Flynn continue!

"Out of the sky it came—silent and mysterious and menacing. Circular in design, it was not more than 35 or 40 meters in diameter. Its middle bulged up to approximately 20 meters. Its colour was a metallic grey. I could not tell how the ship was powered. There were no jet exhausts or other evidence of propulsion equipment of any kind. It simply skimmed through the air effortlessly and silently. The grey surface was smooth and even. No lights. No port-holes. No marks to show where openings might be..."

I find this image unnerving for several reasons.

1. Monument Valley is located in the state where I live. It's about a 4 hour drive, but that's by car. I imagine it's much faster in a saucer.

2. It's only about a 4 hour drive in the opposite direction to Area 51.

3. And... here is an actual road sign in the nearest town of any significant size:




I suspect that the "behind the scenes" pics are part of the disinformation campaign. Out here, we know they are real!



(This may be the single best GI Joe pic ever, by the way! Brilliant work!)

Haha! Thanks very much! I didn't know that there was a sign like that!

Oh it's definitely part of a disinformation campaign...!

Disco Volante!      

Truly excellent photowork blackbrazen! So well done on so many levels!
The positioning of the legs and feet alone are worth commendation!
And again, loved the "how-it-was-done" shots too! Thanks!
By sheer co-incidence I was actually working on a UFO shot myself, ...but now?

I am truly appalled that any city would stoop so low as to actually put up a sign drawing attention to the intellectual deficiencies of its own children!

George was finding life in lockdown relatively bearable...



...with a classic comic...



...and a nice packet of crisps!

Very cool Scott, great props

These are really cool pictures of George life in lockdown relatively bearable. blackbrazen.

Fun little paperback book!
Looks like a fun read, too! Is this a miniature of a book from your own collection?

Yep, "Find That Gold" was always my favourite...!

"But there was more in it than that, she thought. Sandy was a born adventurer, who must always be imperilling himself, working on the extreme edge of hazard, playing for an outside chance." – John Buchan, The Courts of the Morning

Really enjoying your tutorials!

Nice effect from a simple set-up!

I like that leather strap. It drapes very naturally and in scale over his shoulder.

another fantastic image Scott!

These behind the scenes tutorials are great!

Excellent shot and great tutorial, Scott, thank you!!!

It is really nice to see how you laid it all out.

Brace took some much needed R&R...

He appears apparently......"unaffected"???
