Contest 125: The gadget box
Went to see Casino Royale the other day, and enjoyed it immensely. A great reinvention of the Bond genre. And while they certainly updated the franchise by making 007 that much more rugged, I did rather miss Q and his gadgets. So here's your challenge this week: invent a new spy gadget for the master spy. There's a briefcase here you can pack it in, if that's appropriate: but that's up to you. 
High res is here. |

Hey Ben, Good reflection on the brief case, but don't forget your shadows on the stuff inside.

Nice one, Pierre! An additional touch would be to turn the Mini's headlights on. _________________ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Glad the site is up and running again! So it really is just for cocktails? And he's supposed to be the smart one!  |

Re: Contest 125: The gadget box
Thanks Dave. See what you mean about the shadows. - I need to concentrate a bit more. - There's also an error in the proportions , I can't decide whether the woman is too small or the beds are too tall

Re: Contest 125: The gadget box
Ben, I would say both! The main problem though is that the woman is to small. You should be able to see her feet, part of her legs or her legs and her behind, but not the upper part of the body. For scale reference you can use the top of beds. These should be around knee height of the woman or slightly higher. Try that and I'm sure your picture will come out stronger! _________________ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Re: Contest 125: The gadget box
Flemming "stole" the name James Bond from the author of a Birdwatching book he was reading (He wanted something really boring, and Bond was better than Peregrine Maltravers!)... So what would the real James Bond have in his case?...  |
