The Adventures of Arthur and Clyde

silversx80

Inspired by the stormtroopers365, I've decided to take on my own day in the life of toys theme. The only difference is that I want you to decide their next adventure... within reason. I can't go traveling to Alaska, but if you want them to go swimming, that's a different story.

I want to take a pic a day... on average. If I don't get a suggestion, I'll just make one up . Oh, and this is going to be spread across a few forums, so I'll pick up ideas for photogs, motorcycle riders and the several village idiots.

The intro:

Fresh from training, in cryo sleep.



Meet Arthur:


Still a little groggy


Waking up


Rolling out of bed, the time change must be getting him too


I guess it's time to get up


Ugh




Whoops!


I hate mornings... I'll sit here til the blood starts flowing.


Oh, better not forget my rifle.


Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh


Now, where's Clyde?


HEY CLYDE!!! WAKE UP!!!


Hurry up, we're gonna be late.


Come... ON!




Sorry Arthur


Let's Rock 'n Roll.


All done with the Olympus 50mm f/2 on my E-620. Please, feel free to comment... I'm counting on it. I'll be updating as I get more shots.

Looks like a lot of fun. Not sure if you've seen these Lego Star Wars photos, but they are pretty cool. http://www.flickr.com/photos/40195501@N06/

Day 1:

Basic Training. Their military bearing is way off... They have work to do.

"This is my rifle, this is my gun!"




This one's for fighting, this one's for fun.

Arthur and Clyde came up with me to my parents' house this weekend.


Seems Clyde likes beer as much as me.




Wait, how are we supposed to...



Teamwork!



... that catches me up. More to come... Arthur looses something important soon, and Clyde feels a bit frisky.

Calendar shoot:

Dogdots

Fun series ... you're going to have a lot of fun with these 2 guys. Look forward to seeing more.

silversx80

Thanks Dogdots! Turning out to be quite fun, indeed. Everyone I tell (in real, non-internet life) seems to think of me as quite a dork, but they're all pretty eager to help me come up with new poses and back stories for these guys.

Seems there has been an argument of sorts:



So far, all of these have been taken with the same lens (Olympus Digital 50mm f/2 Macro).

.... friends may poke fun at ya, but they like it if they're helping you with ideas. Keep shooting

It appears that something is missing...

He lost his gun???

silversx80

Well, I know my posts are a little behind, but Arthur needs to find his missing rifle. He thinks he has an idea who took it.





I don't think she notices ...






OH NO!!!!



Again, all done with the Zuiko Digital 50mm f/2 Macro and my E-620. Trying Aperture 3 again... I'm realizing why I never bought it.

Dogdots

... oh I just love these last 3 photos ... the one of the dog chewing on it ... perfect thumb

Hate to see where the guy turns up next

A few days later, and it looks like Arthur has survived!





I guess telling your journey through the bowels of hell (or a dog), is quite funny.




Makes you want to hide from embarrassment...



And still, all taken with the ZD50, E-620 and processed with LR3.

2nd one had me laughing ... good work on those. I like how you blurred the guy hiding.
