the great war (1) by graemestevens

the great war (1)

Today's shot is bought to you by an iPhone and a visit to the Great war exhibition at Te Papa Museum in Wellington. I have 6 shots that I'm prepared to share over the next few days, so brace yourselves for boredom.
The figures I'll be posting are, quite literally larger than life coming in at some "2.4 times human size"
Created by Sir Peter Jackson it focuses on the events at Gallipoli during the First World War and it is truly astounding. That's all.

The iphone takes quite an amazing photo!

Fantastic ... I must go to this Exhibition... I am prepared with what you want to share...

@julzmaioro It's well worth the visit - and free!!!
@gigiflower There may have been a little bit of tweaking in LR but the best camera is the one you have with you...

I find Gallipoli to be truly agonizing, so I appreciate this compelling shot.
March 14th, 2017  
A very powerful image! Fav!

Impressive shot from an iPhone shows the mark of a good photographer :)

I've heard this is quite incredible
When does it finish

Terrific image. I actually thought you'd done a photo shoot. The detail on his face is incredible. Can't wait to see what else you have. Fav!

Excellent capture of a stunning figure....... He has your eyebrows. :)

@swillinbillyflynn I wondered where they'd gone... ;)
@paul10 The level of detail alone is astounding - get close enough and you can actually see the pros in their skin
@brigette It's an absolutely amazing exhibit, I can't tell you when it finishes but it is on for 4 years
@rjb71 I was surprised as well :)
@pamknowler Thank you very much :)
@rosiekerr Likewise - there were points in this exhibit when I may have welled up...

Another selfie...? Weapon in hand and appropriate grimace.. I was fooled for a second!
March 14th, 2017  
Nice, very much like the composition.
March 14th, 2017

@jclaireyp Thank you very much :)
@annied It's incredible, very worth the trip
@salza It's amazing, emotional, realistic...all of that and more
March 14th, 2017  
Wow - I thought that was a real person re-enacting it! This would be a fantastic place to go see. Can't wait to see your photos.
March 14th, 2017

Knew it was one of yours but didn't think he had your distinctive looks - now I understand...
March 14th, 2017  
incredible piece
March 14th, 2017  
@blueberry1222 They're quite clever...
@cottiac he's got my eyebrows though...
March 14th, 2017  
I did think this was you at first glance. Then realised you hadn't gone so far as using a gun yet :)
March 15th, 2017  
What a great capture - this looks to be a fantastic exhibit.
March 15th, 2017  
Fantastic POV
March 15th, 2017  
This looks so lifelike.
March 15th, 2017  
@nicolecampbell They're incredible, the detail is just amazing
@shylaine3304 Thanks very much :)
@linnypinny Thank you very much - it's well worth the time
@888rachel I have used a gun...there's a few shots from last year with a pistol to my head ;)
March 15th, 2017  
Wonderful composition to capture the essence of this model. All wars are futile, expensive and inhumane but I've always thought WW1 must've been the worst of all time in terms of sheer stupidity and incompetence at high levels.
March 15th, 2017  
@golftragic I couldn't agree more - and thank you again
March 15th, 2017  
What a great shot of what sounds like an amazing exhibition.
March 15th, 2017  
@lizhammond Thank you very much :)
March 15th, 2017  
I'm speechless... so I'll just press the Fav button.
March 15th, 2017  
@vignouse Good lord, I'm speechless at your speechlessness ;)
March 16th, 2017  
@graemestevens Great minds …
March 16th, 2017  
Quite an amazing figure xx
March 16th, 2017  
@psychographer that it is :)
March 16th, 2017  
these are all really good, but this one is my favorite so far.
March 18th, 2017  
@blueberry1222 Thank you - rather fond of this one as well :)
March 18th, 2017  
Woah!
March 19th, 2017  
@alophoto Indeed :)
March 19th, 2017  
A very lifelike depiction of this soldier
March 20th, 2017  
@bill_fe It is indeed...the detail "in person" was astounding
