Hey Guys, great pictures! I also like the Photoshopped ones. They look awesome. It was nice to see Veevee, Milspec, Riot, Donald and of course, my California-Kabayan Philip there. I had a lot of fun. Special thanks to Philip who helped reduce my travel cost by sharing the room with me.
I'm trying to upload the pictures from my camera. It's a lot of work. I have about 800 plus shots but mainly because my camera can take 5 frames per second. So, I'm trying to sort out the ones to post here. Sorry for the lag time.

Ha ha, what more can I say except ONE HELL OF AN EXPLOSION OF TRULY GRRREAT PICTURES!
Just a teeny weenie dash of photoshop dirt and grime, or maybe some sweat marks on those immaculately clean uniforms in them "action shots"?.....these pics will be nothing less than perfect. ;D

Hey Vee, i noticed that the PS scout cars don't have white stars on them...so i had to delete the stars on this photo.  On this photo, i added myself (para kahit sa picture, magkasamasama tayo) and the two zeros then i adjusted the CONTRAST then SATURATED the colours. Took out the plate no., covered the car at the background with grass using the clone stamp and finally adding the noise ( not too much here). Plus, a little adjustment on the curves to make it a little darker. btw, this is my first photo with my PS gear minus the patch....i just stole that patch from one of you guys and paste it on my sleeve. |

I can't resist... I can't seem to make it blend better with the background though.  |

Philip, thanks for posting that song clip. I haven't heard that since the 70's! Incidentally when I'm rocking my 4-month old boy to pacify him, that's the tune I hum to him... he likes it. (I know I know... ) Now I can just play it for him ;D

You guys are getting good with photoshop.
I see you guys now have a 1928Tommy. Is that an airsoft version or MGC repro?

It's actually a real one loaned to us by a nearby group of reenactors for the pictures we were taking. The 1903's were real and borrowed as well. My Marushin Garand and Milspec's Chicago typewriter tommy gun were the only non-guns in the pictures. Not sure if the "typewriter" was accurate for the impression or not. I think that's why we borrowed a 1928.
All the reenactors I've met at Reading have all been over the top in terms of generosity and friendliness. A good bunch. They let us climb in their scout cars, mess around with their 37mm guns, borrow their rifles, etc.
