As the day quickly approaches, and I finish off my last minute packing... I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you that have made Micro MOCs for the Micro Display for BrickFest.

(...) DOF is always a problem with macro photography of course. A couple of tricks that I have found are: If you are talking of digital, you can move back, shoot at highest resolution, and then crop. Shoot at 5 meagapixels and when you crop you (...) (20 years ago, 11-Aug-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) For the little studio I have, I have been using quartz halogen lighting and white balancing the digital camera to them. I could bring a couple. With proper balance they seem to give pretty good color rendition with my cooppix 5700. I have used (...) (20 years ago, 11-Aug-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Way to go! Yes, I'd be happy to contribute to the BrickFest DVD project. I'm already doing backdrop-equipped photography in the Castle room (and maybe elsewhere), and I was wondering where the pics would go (aside from Brickshelf). If I bring my (...)

In lugnet.events.brickfest, Tommy Armstrong volunteered: (...) Cool. I was going to suggest this, but thanks for beating me to it.

(...) Hey Tommy, et. al. What do you use as far as cameras/lenses? I'm having a devil of a time with depth of field in (obviously macro) shots of my MOCs. It's so frustrating because I know if I just had my trusty view camera all would be fine. All (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

If anyone can help me out with this. I'm doing two Sessions: one for Classic-Castle (Sat 1p-2) and one for SciBrick (Sun 11a-12). I'd like to use a powerpoint presentation, but that means I need to have a laptop to run it. Let me know if you can (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) I think JT's got it exactly right. Organizations grow and change and keeping multiple containers is a way for other organizations to track that growth and change. Just out of curiosity (not that I won't find out soon enough) what's changing? (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) I think the "fun" is the collectablilty of the containers. It's natural for the designs to change over time thus making each container a type of time capsule of the event they were swapped at. The NGLTC container will be new this year but I (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
