I've a long set of photos to review and adjust for lighting, adjust the subject, sort by categories of painters, ... and several also in the tent ... It will take 2/3 days, also to reduce size. Then will addd to the Gallery
Michel
Super thanks to all people met there ! It was the greatest experience since I am painting flats and figurines, and rendez-vous is taken for 2017 already !!!!!
To Nick: I confirm the BFFS figure as Charles X (27th of September 1824!!!), I even found the painting from which drawing and engraving was made from, after one hour search on internet. So I have to reproduce this character from the canevas workpiece .... (one sided)
Also sorry, we lost you at 06:05 pm at your stand in the tent, Daniel Canet and later myself, to have a drink together.... May by Daniel foudn you in the mean time .....

A new Show Gallery is now open for Pictures - http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?action=gallery;cat=45 (http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?action=gallery;cat=45)
Please add pictures of flat figures there. If you have pictures of three dimensional figures go ahead and add them in this thread, i.e. please leave them out of the gallery.

It was a brilliant show as usual.
Firstly, it was a great pleasure to meet you all and to put names to faces, and I thank you for the very warm welcome you showed to us all.
Secondly, I must apologise to all those that I did not get to talk to very much, or indeed get to have a drink with :( time seemed to fly, and I spent a lot of time running around, all the best laid plans seem to go pear shaped in reality!
I would especially like to Thank all those who stood on the stand, and especially Michael 43 for organising the Mignot project.
In 2 years time, I hope to be a bit more organised :)

And here are Nick and Jerry with Greg di Franco and Steve Lloyd

I am starting to add pictures of the competition on the gallery of Kulmbach 2015, first the Beginners, will continue later with the Confirmed (Standard), then Masters, and a few dioramas to complete with pictures of the tent, and 3/4 of the outside... I will inform when Standards are added.
They are identified by their registrtation number, when stuck in front of the frame, but I ignore the painter's names, if not indicated. It will give re-grouping of series by painter at least.
Sorry for long time , bu I have to adapt each picture, re-adjust trapézoïdal deformation to minimize réfections of the glass back to rectangle, remove frame sometimes, adjust contrast, and compress them ... (between 2 and 5minutes by picture).
Thanks for your patience.

I started loading the flats Competition Category "Standards"

Hello Michel,
the pictures looks good after adapting each. What do you use for elimination of glass reflections ?
Best regards
Michael
-
I take them from above (sometimes 45°), with a dark clothing to minimie, when possible, then I correct the deforming with ethe software. Sall spots, I eliminiate by a special tool on the software.
-
Michel you made a terrific job with all thee pictures; thank you for sharing
Eric

More than 100 more to come, with Masters and the sellers...

Nobody seems to have mentioned the heat!! The hottest Kulmbach weekend I have attended... 11am Friday it was 40 deg. and nights were just too hot. Thankfully the beer was cold [ and to the disdain of Ed.. I discovered alcohol free weissbeer...mmm...]
Yes, I spent more than planned (as always), met some great people and struggled with my German (as always). Will I do 2017!! I always say never again...but.....
-
Michel! Many thanks for your wonderful photo coverage of Kulmbach, I have really been enjoying all of the pictures. (I can always tell when you have been uploading as I have to do some maintenance on the site to clear a few things to speed up the response again - good problem to have.)
Kulmbach 2015 appears to have been a great success and is now also well documented.

I have completed the pictures I took from the competition, and will now add some spots taken in the tent and sellers to give the other side of the exhibitions, a side to illustrate also.
Marko, If you have suggestions about the picture size to prevent slow down, let me know, I try to stay within 100 -400 Kb, but might have missed some compressions !! Sorry for that. I will verify the next ones....
Michel
-
Hannibal the size of your images are fine. I just have to make sure I clear the cache on the servers and few other things when you have uploaded all of which only takes a moment. The site speeds back up immediately.
We are all enjoying the coverage of the show.

@Rod, who had the time and possibility to check temperature?
I myself never, was too exhausted with fanning or breathing slowly ;)

Hi Joerg,
did you ever find those heads to your figure, or will you get some more made?
it's a good figure and would be worth taking to a few shows we attend. :)
Nicholas

Hi Nocoals,
let's keep it quite :(
I did not find nothing and even had no contact to the former owner.
Within two weeks we will have our next club meeting and I hope to come closer to a solution.
Anyway - just a capital shame on me....
-
These things happen Joerg, not your fault
If you know a good sculpter of 54mm, then getting a head should be no real problem. As I said, a good figure, worth sorting ;)
-
Tony (boredteenager) could do it!!
-
Martin Hille once did the job.
He should still have the moulds.
