Instead of expensive diffuser filters try using something you have like shiny baking pans, or aluminum foil smoothed out over a flat surface, like a book. Then bounce the swing arm lamp light off of those. It will certainly cut the glare, and (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

Hey Shiri, (...) I remember your compliments on my initial posting way back when the IOM saga began ((URL) I was wondering if anyone would remember that, since it's been so long since I've added anything to Bertar's story. As for Galith, I can't get (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

You could always buy some diffuser screens from your local photography shop to cut the glare off those swingarm lamps. Don't know how expensive that would be, though. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Yes, perhaps if I got something bright enough then I could point it across the room to get more indirect lighting. As it is, either of the two swingarms will glare really badly if I point them where I really need the light. That's why I still (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

i think the thing you really need is more light.. i'd shoot for 100-watt or brighter (and the equivalent in fluorescent). this is why professional photoers spend thousands on complicated expensive strobe lights and such, in an effort to match the (...)

Pawel, Thanks for the compliments! I had wondered about whether the text size was adequate, with the proper balance between readability and page compactness. I will probably increase the font to make it easier to read. I guess I thought it was okay (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

Hey Stephen, Welcome aboard! I read your prologue, when it was posted, with great interest. It's good to see you develop your characters and setting further.
