As always, your pictures recreates the scenes of tolkien´s world perfectly

Have you ever considered to reunite your pictures in a unique archive (Word, PDF), as a book... and tell different stories by images?

I just thought about it the last days Master Elroi. To make a small book of photos and put there short a story quoted from the book..... with specifying the figures contained in the pictures.... like in the Grandmas garden mithril catalogue...

Now when I see that there are mithril friends with such ideas... I will go slowly with this job!

Thanks Master Elroi...

I am now sure of it!

.... ok now.... few more posts from the snowy grandma's middle earth part of the garden

1. Lossoth hunter finaly in his environment





.... missing figure... Snow troll...

3. MS460 Eorl and Felarof.... riding....

... and for the end of this two hours short journey through the snow in Istra

Caradhras, also called the Redhorn (Sindarin: "Caradh-" [Red], "ras" [horn]), is one of the mightiest peaks in the Misty Mountains......

a) Saruman's wrath !



b) ....problems with Saruman's wrath...

I like all snow pictures, dear Master Thingol !
But especially the Caradhras-scene! This is perfect! You can hear the wind howling . . .

And the Hobbit nearly sunken in the snow . . . nice idea! As the Tree said it already.

Black and white photos really gives a very disturbing atmosphere which gets married well to a kidnapping. Very appropriate in the situation
Unfortunately, we can't appreciate the painting work Only on the first picture : great job as usual

Totally agree with you, Sevlag... I liked particularly the 3rd photo...

The Beornings are absolutely great in that surrounding and so is the quality of the pics ... I'm not sure about your second attempts with black&white pics ... my opinion was pointed out by others already:
- of course, no chance to value the colours of the painted figures
- it's absolutely difficult to take pics of such small figures, especially in such a very dark scene ... the appropriate light provided for such photos is extremely difficult to achieve, I think. That's why I don't like the flames in the background - that light is  a bit too strong. ----- Nevertheless, why not try to do something new (in terms of photography) - first steps are always the most difficult to take. I hope you do not misunderstand my comment on the second series of pics, but you also asked for criticism.
So, keep on, Master Thingol 

The problem isn't about the brightness of the flames - it's to do with the fact that it's impossible to create 28mm-scale fire, so "real" flames always tend to look too large. Super pictures again, though - and super painting - as always. And really imaginative framing of the scenes. Genius.
