How many members are there?
 

Y'know... Just by looking at the photos section, it seems like the same people posting over and over. NOT that is a bad thing, but it's making me question just how many board members there are. What fun is it if it's just the same 4-5 guys? Maybe we need to start recruiting more people to share their ideas and pictures! Surely, there have to be a ton out there!

Agreed. I'm especially waiting to see some pics from KnowItAllJoe. ;)

Id like to start, but I need a digital camera first, and something to shoot, which means adding more to my collection (which is still pretty small).

might take a while though...

I think he's banned now! Serves the old troll right! :D

Good. Serves him right!

I didn't realize this forum was so slow when I signed up. :confused:

I guess I'm just used to relatively high-traffic sites. While I am getting my own site's regulars into Joes, it's just not the same. ;)

Hi guys, just posted some pics for the 1st time today.I hope to do a dio soon so I got out some loose figs just for some test shots.I'm no photographer thats for sure , and it sure was exhausting getting flat on my stomach takin the pics.It's a lot harder than I thought capturing the image you want.I have even more appretiation for all you dio makers out there.

Good to have you on board, Joefreak. We need more people throwing down pics for us to look at!

As for picture taking, I end up with a tarp or several towels to lay down on cuz I got tired of looking like the backyard when I was done.

so what kind of pictures do they have to be?

I have some sketches of a Flagg im building, could I post those in the photos section? I also have shots of the Tower part of the Flagg that I built out of cardboard for reference purposes as well, could those be put up in the photos?

There not dio quality or anything

Well, the way I figure it is most people are taking pics that are telling a story. But the line is kinda blurry cuz some people post their collections as well as stuff they are working on. But for the most part, stuff in the PHOTOS area are for 1-shots. Portraits (which GI Jock does well), should-be-award-winning pieces (Helljester & Luke Ellison), review photos (Leo T Dragon) and practice pics... There are always the pics that make us drop our jaws and go, "why bother?" (lol)

Post what you have. If it's stuff you are working on, you could post it in the forums here and as "how-to" or "behind-the-scenes". And it's my opinion that the area for Dioramas are for stories. Usually, the dio makers are hosting them elsewhere. It's kind of misleading cuz you think the dioramas are actually here, but it's more like a hub or ring.

Anyway, post whatever you feel like.
