 | | Organized photography? —Phillip Thorne
|
| | | 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.

| | | | | | | (...) 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)

My overambitious idea was that every MOC could get a "yearbook photo" taken, possibly during check-in, as a (...) (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)
