FoG:R photo request

Forwarded from Paul Robinson

As you will know we are now in the process of producing the Field of Glory Renaissance rule set and accompanying Army Lists. Photos for the rules and the 1st two army lists have now been completed and we are now looking for photos for the 4rd Book of lists, working title Colonies and Conquest!

Are any of you interested in supplying colour photos for these lists. The actual armies in the book and the dates covered by each list are set out below. Even if you don't directly cover these, suitable figures from an Indian Mutiny range, for example, could work. And C19th Maoris (without the shotguns) will work for these lists.

During production of previous army lists we have found that single figures are the most effective for illustrating lists(as opposed to the rule books) and that while some groups or battle scenes add colour we really prefer single figures - the standard single based figure like you see in adverts (against a neutral background) is ideal. Bases etc do not have to be FoG compliant, we want to show the highest quality photos to inspire gamers! It is important that you label each photo with the subject matter.

As a reminder the technical bit is that the photos need to be of a print standard of at least 300DPI. Really all this means is that you need to set your camera to a fine or high setting, and the pictures should be taken in natural day light. Or put another way, the standard you'd use for print advertising rather than publication on the web. Our rule of thumb is that anything over 1 meg as a JPEG is useable.



Obviously full credit for the source will be given in the army list book.

We need the pictures as soon as possible

Obviously we are happy to help with any questions or queries on technical details, composition, suitable subject matter etc.
