#58 - Stand Together

My first full shoot with the D700. It makes me unbelievably happy!

This is the second shot in the series of toy soldiers (here's the first shot), they've made their way out of the fire and up to a vantage point. I guess they're surveying the battlefield or something.

    When I was younger I had a huge box of toy soldiers and used to play with them all the time. This brings back fond memories. Nice one!

    OMG great concept.....what lens did you shoot this with? Do you know approx what focal length you used?

  7. JohnONolan (34 months ago | reply)

    It was a Nikkor 50mm ƒ1.4G, so yes I know exactly what focal length :)

    This image strikes my sight and immediately after my imagination, fantasy and feelings. It is not a technical issue but communication, this photograph is a great inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing it.

    Ruud, you are making it so hard for me not to hate you! Seriously, you need help. This level of attention seeking is not healthy. What ever happened to being humble, if you are good (Which you aren't) People will come and find your work by themselves. Links will get sent to people via email, maybe someone will tweet about a photo you have taken, or your name will get dropped in to casual conversation. Thats how it should work.
