I was able to sneak into the shop yesterday and got some work done on the left hand. here's how the finish came out, which is actually much more attractive than that on the right fingers:

experimenting with different shooting styles. I took this photo almost in the dark. no data loss in the highlights, but it's a bit dark overall!

I also riveted two fingers onto strips of leather and ordered a 12x24 sheet of bronze for the pauldrons. won't be able to do more work until Monday, when the shop is open again.

it was so nice out yesterday that I just had to go wander around in the woods with my camera : ) here's what I think the best shot was:

cheers!

I have acquired new photo equipment, including a tripod and head. thus, I have been doing some test photos.

I'm still figuring out what to do with white balance. I'm still losing a significant amount of data in my highlights, even though I've set it custom with a white sheet of paper and I'm shooting raw. not even Lightroom can save me! well, I'll figure it out eventually.

cheers
