And here's the pictures form the Royal armory museum.
I've never been a huge fan of guns and all that, but I got really impressed of the amount of creative weapons that have been develop during the years. This is where I got the idea of a steam-punk environment, where fire weapons are not as develop leaving traditional weapons (like swords, axes and bow) to take an important part of the action.

Since I knew I wanted to do an action story, I wanted to give chance to many different ways of battles.
Also, I like all the details they put on some weapons, so that also can be part of my story since is in a time after the Gothic era, so all the remaining of buildings and designs still all over the place.
Rusted metal, machines integrated to animals and humans (like the pic of the bird-creature made of metal) and the lack of electricity if what my story is going to be like.

Finally I'm putting some of the pictures that I took at the Leeds City museum. Unfortunately most of my pictures where either really dark or blurry :( So I did my best to rescue the ones that inspired me in some way or that at least gave me an idea to start drawing some sketches for some of my initial characters.

Photography Induction - II

On the 10th of October we had our second session of photography induction. This time we were experimenting with light and the same techniques that we learned from last time.
By doing this, it's easy to realize how important is the right illumination to bring up certain aspects of the object to be capture in photography or film. It changes absolutely the feeling of the picture with the different light that we tried.
My personal favorite was playing with the dark space and a slow shutter speed.
Once again, I'm picking my 6 favorites but definitely will keep practicing with my camera.

plus some more "research" pictures

Photography Induction - I

We were ask to bring a valuable possession to our first photography induction and due to my lack of stuff (most of it is back home) I decided to bring one of my most valuable objects; an origami lion that my best friend Luxi made for my last birthday.
Here's 6 of the pics we were ask to take, practicing some different techniques that we got explained.
It was more complicated than expected, specially when at the beginning you don't have a good idea of the result you want, and once you have it , it is still hard to achieve it through so many options in the camera. I assume it's just a matter of play and practice.





and riding a car like a boss, why not?
