Minas Tirith

An attempt on Minas Tirith, the grand fortress in LOTR.

The lighting from the side is intentional.

not good enuff... background too plain...

dunno is it the texture of the material, i find the subject very noisy while the background is smooth rendered.

overall, need to work on the lighting.

The model was shot in a white background flooded with white light. The lighting effect is then rendered in PS.

Hmm... could be due to the PP that it's looks noisy. Will work on that, appreciate your kind comments.

It's from the LOTR3 Collector's Edition DVD set.

In the movie, especially towards the end, the images became more warm. I suggest you play a little with the white balance on your camera. Try using the fluoroscent setting.

Also, see if you can make the area around the tree of gondor (near the fountain) brighter. Go get a bleached twig and stick it somewhere there since I saw that there isn't a tree on the model.

Just some ideas from a LOTR fan.

background spoils it... maybe a closer crop looking straight on?

i find it flat. i would have preferred more shadows falling on the buildings.

do some ps on the background. why there is a black corner on the lower left? done purposely? it is very distracted.
