Waiting for Jason
Photo Information
I recently used some Lego mini-figures for a couple of competition entries and while I was looking for ideas I discovered that Lego have a range of mini-figure skeletons. So just for fun I thought I would have a go at an image inspired by the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts. This film is famous for Ray Harryhausen's stop motion animation of various monsters including a sequence with seven skeletons.
As you can probably see from my image I had a lot of trouble controlling my seven skeletons. They kept getting distracted, looking in the wrong direction, waving their swords and shields about and getting in each other's way. I also managed to hire a left handed one
. I am sure Ray Harryhausen had a far more co-operative gang.
The final image is a focus stack of 11 images all shot using:
Pentax K-1 with a D-DF50 macro.
0.3sec, F18 & ISO200.
Shot raw, then processed in LR5. The focus stack was assembled using Helicon Focus 6 and and the image was cropped and resized using PSE14.

great idea and excellent result. luckily i stayed on top of the White Cliff at Seaton when walking the dogs last week. at least that looks as though that's where they were and the beach was quite deserted

. at least that looks as though that's where they were and the beach was quite deserted I am impressed. The backdrop is indeed a shot I took at Seaton.
Looking at a still from the film I realised I needed to find some sort of cliff-face/coastal backdrop and a search of my archives found this one from a holiday in 2005 shot with a *ist DS!
