Well I don't know where you are in Waterloo but I was out near the field and it POURED twice and was steady rain for about 1/2 an hour. I am going g out tomorrow at noon to support the gun club and if it isn't raining might drive around a little.   and will probably be out Sunday morning too...

Admittedly I’m in the south west area of Waterloo about 15 minutes from the field, but the forecasters only called for 8 to 15 millimeters of rain and where I am we definitely didn’t get that.

Now you tell me.   It started raining here in TO when I was on the bike out around Markham about 1;30 and has rained almost the whole time since. Looking at the forecast i think I might come out tomorrow all day as I think Sunday actually looks a bit crappier. I'll see what it's like when I get up. If i come out it will be later than usual around 10 with about 5 tanks. Hopefully set up some of the buildings for images. Also not so much on tank sites but after the V1 pictures I've promised to post the V2 launch site pics if we can set it up for a bit.

I still have to post up my last set of pix. I’ll bring the camera tomorrow as well and take more.

Derek's houses and the Sturmtiger in monochrome

That is an amazing photo!

Lol! You wish!

Well let's give it a shot anyway  Mitch have you done any monochrome images?

Oh yeah.

Love the wire fence...that would be cool to replicate that effect.

Anyone coming out on Sunday?

Sorry, I can't

Took me 2.5 hrs due to traffic, accidents and construction to get back to Toronto from the field today so I'll save it for next weekend. First thing I did when I got home was book a fully cancellable ( if the weather is awful) 2 night hotel stay for next weekend. No way am I doing that drive 3 times next weekend. The V2 site pictures came out great but I won't post them here

Hey Martin email the pics to me please... dgsselkirk@gmail.com

Posted the V2 pics on random non RC sites I'm on. People just love it. Very few are people in Ontario unfortunately though but I might have turned some people on to our hobby. The very niche fun RC hobby nobody knows about

First attempt; perspective can be matched better next round!

Looks cool. I was just screwing around on Microsoft photos and used the mercury filter on a Sturmtiger image with the figures and fence too and changed the lighting and colour just a bit to try and get a WW2 monochromatic. Was quite amazed with the results considering it was just a phone picture. I'll put the 2 images side by side up on Hobby Squawk

I have one with the crew as well.

This one looks ok in monochrome as well.

Looking good. The last 2 definitely give a good depth of perception as well. Good suggestion on Hobby Squawk about using a shadowy and grainy effect too. Hopefully we get lots of interesting images this weekend to play around with
