Re: nidding's first year of shooting
SO many threads to follow, I forget to check more than what's on the "new posts" list sometimes.... finally catching up here.
Very sorry to hear about your grandmother, but sounds like y'all are at peace with the passing. Praying that you all spend time together laughing about all the good times even in your time of loss.
Also, love the picture of your buddy in armor! Although it's a rather funny thought to try and lead the viewer to think there were cameras back in the medieval days, I'd love to see what could be done with this pic in a retro/antique/grainy sort of way. Maybe add a bit of grit to it?
Thanks Pretzel

Fortunately we are all able to remember her for all the good things she were. She was a unique woman, but a very kind one

When she talked about what she wanted when she was gone, she always said that her funeral aws supposed to be a good day, where people sad down with a beer and talked about the good times they had with her. I think that was exactly what happened
And thanks for the comment as well

I think you are right, that the picture could be a lot more gritty. I just don't have a lot of experience with that look, so maybe I should work a little on producing that

One problem with trying to make it appear like a contemporary image would e that the actual art of 14 century Scandinavia isn't, well, very photorealistic at all

Having said that, I think I will follow your idea and try to rough it up a bit
