Trench-Vipers favorite Outrider Shots.

[Trench-Viper]

Outrider creates great dio picture after great dio picture but no matter how high the quality of your work it some of your pictures are going to stick out more than the others. This is my favorite Outrider pictures, this is only my personal oppinion take it for what it is, I am no expert photographer or critic but these are the pictures that caught my eye the most.

We start off strong with one of the most impressive charges seen on Joedios, Outrider showed off the shock vipers right as they should be, running straight towards the enemy with shocking speed and force!
This picture has so great posing that its just mindblowing. Such motion and lifelikeness. Amazing.

Allthough not as actionfilled as the first picture in my list this picture is a great example of perfect framing, setup and angle. The whole picture just WORKS! Its great. Really inspiring stuff.

As a picture it works well on its own but I think this picture stands out because it got that undefinable sense of realism that takes a picture above just looking real and too being belived to be real. The sense of depth here is astouinding.

Dio pictures are an art form, anyone who doubt it could just look at this cutting edge picture. Outrider has thrown all classical elements of an arranged photo out the window and created a true master piece of motion and action. A photographer taking a picture like this of real soldiers would win a prize for his execellent photo. The angle and sense of depth really caputures the "moment" and dread and violene. Truly an master piece not only as a dio photo but as an war photo as well, trancending one genre to another and creating his own uniqe expression through the photo.

Yeah it just had to be there. Its not as ground breaking as his other shots among my favorites but its just soooooooooo coooooooool

Earlier I pointed out that Outrider had thrown out the "normal" rules for an aranged photo out the window but that does not mean that I recomend others doing that. Outrider is an master of the arranged photo as this dio picture shows. Technically superb in all respects and done with a lot of warmth and humour as well. Offcourse this too is an art piece, the actionfigures combined with their uniforms- what they do etc.. Could be subject for hours of analyzis. This is a classical master piece of a dio picture and its this level of mastery over the basic dio skills (I belive) is necessary for pulling of ignoring the classic rules as well as Outrider does.

I talked a lot about Outriders posing, angle and focus skills but he is offcourse a master of colours as well. Allways choising colours that suplement eachoter well either through interesting combinations or through showing off eachothers nuances Outriders pictures allways have rich vibrant colours! Making each picture pleasing to the eye.

Well that was my favorite pictures of Outrider, thanks for reading!

Thanks Trenchy! It means a lot to me that people are willing to spend their valuable time putting something like this together. I'm also humbled by and grateful for your very generous and undeserved praise. ;) :)

Hey Trenchy, thanks for doing this. I was hoping that maybe if I do it, a few others will too!

Funny how we all have different tastes (as Rich constantly tells me) so what you like is different than what I like which is different than what Hasbro likes... I considered linking that NiteRaven shot but the one that really took my breath away was the one where he fotoshopped the city together! (that'd be the last link in my post)

Its a great image Sonillion, but taste is diffrent and I just went with the picture that was slick as oil on water.
And you are deserving of this praise and more Outrider.

All of these are great examples of the master at worh the Night Raven one is one of the first I remember seeing and that crimson guard locker room is the pic that really got me inspired to start taking pics.
