KNIGHT MAGAZINE VOLUME 3 KNIGHT VOGUE
Photography by Tanner Curtis
This was a fun one. I am starting to understand night sky photography takes practice and forethought. Just showing up to a strange location at 3am thinking you’re going to nail an amazing keeper is not really reality. I'm still learning, making mistakes on this Milky Way stuff, was happy to pull this one off.
This is twenty-three (10 second) exposures stacked in Sequator.
A dark purple gladioli photograhed this afternoon, Sunday 5th July, 2020, along Edgeworth David Drive at Hornsby, in northern Sydney. I discovered it by sheer accident as I was walking to the Waitara Magpies Club to watch the NRL football match on the big screen!!
And there it was, all alone in the late afternoon in mid-winter, growing against a yellow-painted concrete wall in a most urban, and un-garden like precinct in Hornsby - opposite the car-park entry into the giant Hornsby Westfield shopping centre. No other gladioli friends in sight, and only a clump of orange nasturtions nearby for support. Quite a bizarre thing.
Photographed with a Samsung Galaxy S20+ mobile phone camera, and processed in Snapseed whilst watching the Newcastle Knights currently leading the Manly-Warringah Sea-Eagles, 14-6, in the NRL.
So, a 'Dark Knight' I am calling it. But wait, a score update - it's Knights 14-12. Very close!
And this was the final score - so the Dark Knight wins!!
Its probably just me, but when I saw these rock formations, standing proud on Kinder Scout I immediately thought of the Chess game from the first Harry Potter movie.
Taken on my last shoot of 2018 in the Derbyshire Peak
Fact that old story, a brave knight killed by a gang of murderous criminal, unjust
All soldiers battled and stayed alone ..
And killed a large number of them with courage
Then treacherously killed him because they are cowards
Macro Mondays theme: gift.
A chess set that I bought in Singapore as a gift for my daughter. The pieces are made of fish bone, size is about 3cm each. Not really good for a match as I can hardly distinguish some pieces. But it looks good.
Title borrowed from the 1992 thriller movie.
24 pictures stacked in Helicon Focus (Method=B, Radius=4, Smoothing=3). Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 + 12mm extension tube.
Another entry for the Summer Joust :)
This one in the silhouette category. Figured you can´t go wrong with a classic portrait of a knight...then I started building and let´s just say I have new respect for the people who build mosaics...haha!
The Prayer-book of Medieval Knights, "The Path's spiritual energy uses justice and patience to prepare your spirit. This is the Knight's Path. An easy way and, together, difficult, because it makes you abandon all useless things and friendships related. For this, first one feels very hesitant about following it. Here is the first lesson of Chivalry: you will erase what you've written so far on your life's notebook: turmoil, insecurities, lies. and you write, instead of this, the word courage. "
Paulo Coelho
One shot taken last summer.
Preparations for the Giostra del Saracino, a reenactment in medieval costume, which takes place in Piazza Grande in Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy, presumably from the thirteenth century.
Here again they are not dressed in costumes and it's really hard to take pictures, because there are many people around the square. In the link you can also see photos of the reenactment, surely made by photographers with super strong objectives and privileged positions : ))
I just hope to have transmitted the famous "mood" : )

Finally the CMF Series 23 has become available in my location and as a result here is a quick figbarf of the Knights of the Yellow Castle!
*Thank you to Logan Fulford for revealing the secret to his brilliant photography - without it, this picture would not have been possible!*
Batman: Arkham Knight is an absolutely brilliant game. It's so good that it might just be the best game I've ever played (maybe the fact that I'm a Batman fan skews that opinion, but whatever).
So once I got my hands on Richard's awesome sets, I actually began painting this set as a modern military soldier inspired by Insurgency, but I never finished painting it.
Instead, I repurposed the set as a member of Arkham Knight's militia from the game. The set fits really well, and I had a great time painting it. Now that I've finished the game (with the exception of the Riddler's tedious trophies), I will be devoting more time to making figures, quite possibly a few figures from the game (although I have no intention of stepping on your toes, Logan ;))
I hope you guys enjoy the figure, let me know what you think!
In 1959 13 men joined together to form the Strategic Army Corps Sport Parachute Team, to compete in the then communist dominated sport of skydiving. The team performed so well that on June 1, 1961 the Army officially recognized, designated and activated the team as the U.S. Army Parachute Team.
The Malbork convent kitchen - in the first interior with a huge hood oyer the hearth, food was once prepared, and then transported by lift to the refectory on the second floor. Now, both this interior and the next room, which was probably a bakery in the old days, have been turned into an old convent kitchen equipped with pots and plates, and all sort of utensils from different historical periods. Dishes served on the tables of medieval Malbork reflected the power and prosperity of the Teutonic Knights' state. People ate there pork, beef, poultry, and game prepared in different styles. Fish was rated highly. A supplement of the main dishes was bread, barley, and rice. Among dairy products, mainly cheeses were consumed. Cream and milk played a minor role. The latter was replaced by an extract from almonds. Beers and meads were the basic drinks. It is known, that 19 brands of wine were brought to Malbork; most of them from the Rhine region, but there were also Hungarian, Greek, and Italian wines. The monks drank no less than 12 kinds of beer.
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, the largest Gothic castle complex in the world, is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork on the river Nogat in Poland. It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, during the Thirteen Years’ War, it was sold by the Bohemian mercenaries to King Casimir IV of Poland in lieu of indemnities and it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions, interrupted by several years of Swedish occupation, and fulfilling this function until the First Partition of Poland in 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945. The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997.

Kuchnia konwentu malborskiego - w pierwszym wnętrzu z wielkim okapem nakrywającym palenisko przygotowywano kiedyś potrawy, transportowane windą przy południowej ścianie na drugie piętro, do refektarza. Dziś, zarówno w tym, jak i w sąsiednim wnętrzu będącym najprawdopodobniej piekarnią, zaaranżowano dawną kuchnię klasztorną w oparciu o dostępne obiekty muzealne. Wnętrze zaaranżowano w ten sposób, by można było odnieść wrażenie, iż kucharz właśnie był odszedł od paleniska i garnków, by udać się do piwnicy po przyprawy i zioła. Zakonny charakter kuchni podkreśla zmieniająca się każdego dnia scenografia, zależna od kalendarza krzyżackiego regulującego porządek świąt i uroczystości, dni postnych, jak również okresów zwykłych. W zamku jadano wieprzowinę, wołowinę, drób, dziczyznę. Istotną rolę odgrywały ryby. Uzupełnieniem dań głównych było pieczywo, kasze i ryż. Z nabiału najwięcej spożywano jaj i serów. Mniejszą rolę odgrywała śmietana i mleko, te ostatnie najczęściej zastępował wyciąg z migdałów. Do podstawowych napojów należały piwa i miody. Wiadomo, że sprowadzano do Malborka 19 gatunków win, najwięcej reńskiego, ale było także węgierskie, greckie i włoskie. Bracia pijali nie mniej niż 12 gatunków piwa.
Zamek w Malborku – jeden z największych zamków na świecie, położony na prawym brzegu Nogatu, wzniesiony w kilku etapach od 1280 do poł. XV w. przez zakon krzyżacki. Początkowo konwentualna siedziba komtura, od 1309 po przeniesieniu przez Siegfrieda von Feuchtwangena stolicy zakonu do Malborka, siedziba wielkich mistrzów zakonu krzyżackiego i władz Prus Zakonnych do 1457, w latach 1457–1772 rezydencja królów Polski, od 1466 siedziba władz Prus Królewskich, od 1568 siedziba Komisji Morskiej, w 1772 zajęty przez administrację Królestwa Prus i zdewastowany w latach 1773–1804; rekonstruowany w latach 1817–1842 i 1882–1944, zniszczony w 1945, ponownie rekonstruowany od 1947; w 1949 wpisany do rejestru zabytków, w 1994 uznany za pomnik historii, w 1997 wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO jako jeden z najznakomitszych przykładów średniowiecznej architektury obronno-rezydencyjnej w Europie Środkowej. Od 1961 zamek jest siedzibą Muzeum Zamkowego w Malborku.

Last year someone named DungeonPigeon on IG posted a lovely piece of art that was inspired by LEGO's Crusader Knights, and I really wanted to make it in LEGO once I got my hands on one of the tree disguise pieces. And now, here it is! Enjoy this friend, and DungeonPigeon, I hope you like it too. :)
None shall pass!

Some figures inspired by the Dragon Knights castle line of the early '90s. For an upcoming MOC. I'm thinking I should do vignettes of this style for all the classic castle factions!
Two Wolfpack knights stole a horse from a meadow. But they do not have much experience riding a horse without a saddle. Therefore, they have hung two rings on a tree, through which they want to stab with the lance.
Could they be the inventors of the Zeeland tradition of ring stabbing? Races are still held there where unsaddled horses riders have to stab through a ring with a short lance. The ring gets smaller each subsequent round, and whoever is the last to stab the ring is the winner.

Downtown Cincinnati was used as a filming location for the upcoming film Alto Knights starring Robert De Niro. Some ground floor retail spaces were covered up with fake 1950s New York storefronts.
