  Re: Camera question
 
(...) Mirrors Must have mirrors. Lots of 1$ small makeup mirrors. (URL) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Math/Optics Problem
 
(...) Ahhh-- so perhaps I've been getting stuck on photography terminology. I had assumed the "focus" in Shiri's response to relate to the fuzziness of the resulting image, not the "focal length" which affects the zoom level. That makes just about (...)

  Re: Most important aspect of a model...
 
(...) I think it depends somewhat on the general nature of the model. A technic model (for example) would need to be functional and structurally strong, but color wouldn't matter as much. And a "model" (like the statue of liberty, etc) would need a (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: RGB color values for many brick colors
 
(...) Hi. just wanted to note that I'm updating colors with Steve. My page may change soon, though not dramatically. -Suz (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.trains, lugnet.faq, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Camera question
 
Here's another lighting idea you might consider. If you are in an area that gets plenty of sunlight, consider homemade reflectors. Materials needed: aluminum foil, glue (I've found spray-on helpful), a utility knife, a rolling pin (or something (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Math/Optics Problem
 
It's amazing how much physics and math I have forgotten, so let me simply note that the focus of the camera isn't going to change the proportions of the objects. The focal length will. The perspective will change as your lens measurement changes (in (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: RGB color values for many brick colors
 
(...) Helpful, but if you could cross correlate to the LDraw colors and color values, (and to the ref that Suzanne put together that you reference, although I would use this link: (URL) instead of the one you give as it is annotated) that would be (...)

  Re: Camera question
 
(...) Nicole, I'd consider a cheap source of supplemental light, perhaps a worklight. I use a two light spot/stand light with 60 watt bulbs, and I'll turn one or both on, point them near my MOC, bounce the light off the ceiling, etc, etc, just to (...)

  Re: code red anyone?
 
(...) My various personal and semi-personal :) sites got hits from 73 unique code red sites yesterday, and 61 the day before that. Today, 29 so far. (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
