Actually, it was shot in front of a bluescreen and digitally removed...

: If its the photo I'm thinking of, I only had one problem. It was taken in your kitchen! Since when does Indy hang out in a dining room? If you had taken the pic outside by some trees or boulders, it would have been cooler. (Maybe you live in the city...I dont know!) I did think changing the photo to make it look like an old sepia print was cool.

I had one finished on a desert background but I thought that
the lighting didn't match. I have about six more shots that I have
on blank background plates, awaiting digital compositing. I do have
one finished: it's a duplicate of that screenshot from Infernal Machine
where Indy is looking at the pyramid. If anyone is interested in seeing
it, I will post the URL of my shot, and the Lucasarts screenshot for
comparison. I added a digital shadow, but the part where my feet
"touch" the grass doesn't look that convincing. But it does look cool
at a glance. (in case anyone was wondering, my primary hobby is
special effects photography) I have 32 shots of miniature Star Wars
Episode I Tatooine shots that I did using model mock-ups, Kenner figures,
and an artificially-created desert against a bluescreen. Any takers?
Some of them are very convincing, especially the Jawa shot with the
sandcrawler.
