Those of us who've attended BrickFests past know that much shutterbugging
transpires, as hundreds of attendees try to record the fiddly genius of
thousands of bricks. But don't you just hate the prosaic, non-plastic
background when it intrudes into your composition? Walls, chairs, carpet;
conflicting models.
At BF-DC-2002, I took a bunch of photos in the Castle room from a low angle,
nearly a minifig's POV (see
<http://www.underbase.org/blog/archive/00000167.htm>) -- but darn those
classroom walls and ceiling! Wouldn't a neutral, sky-blue backdrop be
preferable? It'd be like something out of the catalogs or Idea Books.
I've corresponded with Castle chief Magnus Lauglo, and he's all for the idea, so
I'm now assembling the fabric-and-dowels I'll be using. Since I've got a module
for the Moonbase, I'll be bringing a swath of black, too. If the fabric doesn't
work out, I can pick up some (not easily transported on Amtrak) posterboard (at
the Ballston Commons Mall) -- it just won't suffice for wide-angle panoramas.
Either way, I'll need a passerby or two to hold up the backdrop.
BrickFest doesn't take its own photos, and asks (in '02, at least) for links
from attendees who did. I'll make the snaps public, of course -- I'm just
trying to plan ahead for max aesthetics. Comment?

| (...) I have a small mini-studio that I could bring for individual pics if it would be useful. Gives a nice graded background and can use poster board or fabric on it. Tommy Armstrong (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

| (...) Hi Philip, I would be very interested in borrowing your black fabric from you for a few photos of my own in the Space room. Thanks! -Grand Admiral .space Curator (URL) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
