It's been a long time since I submitted anything to Brickshelf. I've jumped in
a couple of times to comment here on Lugnet, but that's about it.
I've built a couple of MOCs this past year that I haven't bothered taking
pictures of. In fact, I've got a couple of sets that I haven't even parted out
yet and a couple of Bricklink orders that haven't been put away.
I'm frustrated.
Once in a while I'll take a look at my Brickshelf folder with utter disgust at
the quality of the images in there.
I've decided that If I can't give clear images of my creations, then what's the
point? I can do decent photography, not award-winning, I'm sure, but the
quality of the current digi-cam at my disposal is abyssmal.
The last few uploads I made to Brickshelf last year were of some of the best
MOCs I've done to date. But you can't tell. The images simply don't do my work
justice. So I stopped using the digi-cam.
I'm going to go all-out.
I'm going to stop spending money on Lego and my other hobbies until I have a
quality digi-cam. That's all there is to it. It could take two months, it
could take another two years (if current luck holds out...).
It's gonna be like a dark-age.
But something has to give.
I don't want to build simply for my own amusement. I want other people to see
what i'm capable of and I want people to be able to critisize me beyond the
quality of the pics. I mean, one of the mocs in my folder, people can't tell
what end is the front!!
So, there it is.
No new MOCs until I can take clear photos.
What really got me this evening, is that I just sent out a money order for yet,
another Bricklink order.
What's the point if no one can see what I'm going to build with the peices I've
just ordered?

The camera I bought (Fujifilm FinePix 2400Zoom) is about as basic as you'd probably want to get, and it cost about $300 two years ago (you should be able to get something better for the same price by now, or about the same thing for a lot less (...)

| (...) One suggestion I might have is trolling any local camera shops that sell second hand items. Digital cameras have been flooding the market the last few years and I've seen some come up for resale. So long as you get on that has a macro setting (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)
