1st Annual Rainman Member Appreciation Photo Contest

[SculptorJoel]

Talk about bad timing to show my photos!

Really nice shots Mag.

Here are the 3 I settled with in the end.
1 of which will surely be a conversation starter.

This baby didn't quite make the cut due to only the head being Rainman's but I think you will agree it's pretty cool!

Who made that Hustler top, amazing Tyler Durden, One of the nicest I have seen

LOL Awesome!

First off I wanted to comment on some of the cool entries instead of searching through quoted posts I'll address a few here:

Darth Magnus: Love the set p with the "table" ttuely amazing looking and captures Alex so well

Chilipep66: That diorama is literally insane even if the contest is not one you have the best Bill the butcher accessory out of anyone.

David Bernard /Blondie It's all ours: amazing shots and diorama, incredible.

TheMadButchure: Classy set up here, very nice!

Snakey: Love the concept here with the life size knife and drink


Finally got my entries up! Unfortunately I was only able to take two new ones due to my time tomorrow I'm booked all day so I had to submit everything today.

I really had wanted to create new moments that captured the essence of the film but felt like something new and never before seen and not just a basic regurgitation/recreation of a specific scene.

Bill The Butcher I shot months ago but I still liked the image, I had something cool planned for him but looking at the complexity of the other two images I think this is a nice balance to it.

Shot digitally, I enhanced the saturation about 30% in Photoshop.

I really like this picture. Would have been sweeter if the light was hitting his Eagleeye

No love for my GBU its cool

Hi Freaks,

Here are mine, having fun with this contest. Loving everyone's pics.

2. Oppa Rainman Style!

Love these two

No love for my GBU its cool

Not doing this to appease you or anything, but I do like your shot. There was one on Rainman's site (not sure I've seen it here) that was also really great with all 3 of the GBU dudes in it. I think all these photos are pretty nifty in fact, and even though I don't think I have much chance of winning, I'm glad for the contest because we get to see all this great stuff in interesting ways.

Thanks man. I love all the creativity in this thread too.

Who would of thought that there would be a Rainman thread with no bickering?

Yeah I saw that picture in Rainman's site. I think that's El Calvo's picture. I recognize that pic without the photoshop.

Good point. I think it's a first!

May be some bickering after the judgements are handed down.

 

[karamazov80]

That would be a real shame if it happens, but it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[DarthMagnus]

Dont conjure up the drama! Save it for the Anton thread which should be on fire this weekend!

As for here...............

agreed, everyone here had fun taking their photos, and honestly are all members of a very small community on earth willing to drop the cash we do on these figures, and in turn are lucky enough to own these limited releases. We've all gotten a chance to share our collections with each other, and have all grown appreciation for each others collections. the prizes now are just the cherry on top! so there certainly shouldn't be any hard feelings

Didn't stop to think about that.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

BTW Awesome shots ray. The FC gets my vote.
Realised that there wasn't much love for Marla so literally snapped this up in the kitchen. Not midnight over here just yet!

added some candles in the background to get some nice bokeh too.

To the winners congrats, and to everyone that took part congrats too for your awesome photos!

I've been too wrapped up to get involved with this but I'm trying to make time now. Is it too late to submit? Cut off is the 10th at what time and in what time zone?

I'm in the same boat!

Sent from my 10.1

I'd like to know the cutoff time too.


Also, do you know if we can upload just one at a time? Say, one today and the other two tomorrow?

Mags???
