Report - Honey I shrunk the explorers. Southwest Mill visit. May 2011

[canute]

That's great - I wondered what happened to all the Brownies from "Willow". But that Don Camillo figure's a bit sinister - reckon there's a story there

Excellant stuff..just needs a Land of the Giants ginger cat as well!

Hahha brilliant stuff Styru.
Every picture bought a smile to my face , very unique

 

[Styru]

Setting up the shots must have taken some time.

It does a bit! - not the best of pastimes in places that have too active security - or, more importantly, are too draughty!

I've left one of the little people in situ for the next explorer to find - but only if they look closely of course!!

(but not the set in the self-portrait above - that would be too easy!)

Nope - until they get their arses into gear and form a union I'm happy to ignore H&S on their behalf (actually it's pretty rare to see me in a mask - I'm not that good at being good!)

 

[georgie]

top stuff this mate really enjoyed it

What lens were you using for these?

 

[canute]

I think I've cracked it. The little people are in fact normal sized and a long long way away. You just build a very big set for them?

 

[Styru]

What lens were you using for these?

Some were shot on a kit 15-55 Nikon lens, some on a Nikon 35mm prime, and a few on an Industar 50/2


(I don't carry loads of lens' - this was 2 trips, first time was with the kit one, second time the 35mm - but I also took the Industar as I'd just stripped, lubricated, and rebuilt it and wanted to test it)

Someone asked what the guys were working on - so just for you, a cropped close-up:

Like this a lot. Look forward to more.

Can anyone else see the priest sitting down in the background of the photo with the hand cranked fire alarm or am I losing the plot again???:crazy
