Thanks Gatiio!
Haha yeah was not somewhere hot- just rainy old UK
So long as there is a bit of blue sky can trick ya! The wind that day was a nightmare! But in retrospect gave the shot a cool look- if id have wanted it to look that way originally there's no way I could have done it

Congrats!
Well deserved!

Very much deserved! Incredible photo!!

Congrats!

A big Fuck yea Congratulations!!!

Any chance you were going to make a postcard out of this picture, similar to those that Rotofugi and Circus Posterus send when you purchase something form them?

Thanks so much guys
Made up to have won, and so happy everyone digs the shot! The sand killed my camera but was worth it

Yeah I can do, I've got a RedBubble page where I sell cards & prints etc- usually just stick my Lego shots up there- but can stick it up there if anyone wants it...

Congrats bro.

Will just say that I don't usually do cards & prints of my Vinyl Toy shots. Guess im always a bit wary about copyright of images of the toys. Seeing as these are usually very limited toys and 3-D versions of the artists art doesn't feel right for me to be selling prints etc of them. Also I really do just do the photography for the love of it, not for any financial gain. But seeing as you asked for it
I have just put em up with the minimum commission- I only get a couple of pence for each sold, and will say that if Ferg or Brandt has any issue with me posting them up then Im more than happy to take em down.
Also stuck up the B&W edit of a different frame as well.

Oh- and here's an out-take showing just how f%#$ing windy it was that day
Scram blew over so many times... Worth it in the end though!


Sandstorm!!! by smokebelch, on Flickr

that screw up take is sooo epic. thanks for the pic man and if the proceeds from these get you a new camera then itll all be worth it!

Haha, thanks man
Got a new camera straight after the old one 'died'- I couldn't be without one that long
And really just stuck the cards up for anyone on here that wants one- I literally just get pence from any sold, just happy anyone would want to own a card/print

That out take shot is soo awesome

Would love a widescreen desktop wallpaper version of this. ::hint hint::

Congrats, btw!!!!

Here's a link to the shot on my flickr

You can access all sizes from here so should be good for wallpaper use

Theres also a wider crop version here which might fit use as a wallpaper better-
