ParticipantOlavf, I tried your tip, but it was not quite what I was hoping for ..
😉Funny. I get the same effect 😉
In all seriousness, I’m thinking about getting a reticule for my camera. I get schmutz on my glasses constantly, and it affects my ability to focus. I been putting it off, but whilst I was traveling the other weekend I picked up a photography pr0n magazine at the airport and they had these nifty glasses with flip-up lenses…
ParticipantWhen I want that effect I usually put it in manual focus and take off my glasses. Works every time =/
ParticipantWe use the Wal-Mart sheets too for most things. I’ve got a white and a blue one right now, and I keep meaning to pick up some others- like a few shades of green and a lighter blue.
Curious the problem there is that they’re not wide enough. We usually buy queens for the backdrop. For the light box we’ve acquired a number of remnants from the fabric store though. If you sew the 36″ strips together, the seams always seem to be visible. And in the most awkward places…
I’ve also got a roll of neutral (tan) paper, but I never seem to use it.
ParticipantFor backdrop, you might also look into fabric. Yes, it can wrinkle, but not as bad as paper can, particularly when the kids are shuffling around on it. I’ve actually had pretty good success with using regular flat sheets – particularly for non-white backgrounds. My next purchase is going to be vinyl though.

$180 is kind steep this month, unfortunately =/I haven’t played with halogen statics – I haven’t noticed any WB issues with my strobes though – I get a fair amount of ambient daylight in the garage from the door windows. I suspect it’ll be different when I try them outside, but I’m saving for a gel kit too. I’ll have to play around with the shop light and see how that does for a static (particularly when coupled with the strobes). Not a lot of light control, but one could probably do something with it – I bet my hand-held diffuser/reflector would work fine.
If you’re playing with Tungsten bulbs, though, not even the kelvin rated bulbs are going to work mixed with anything else. I’ve pretty much parked mine on a shelf permanently. I’d give them away, but I robbed the stands and umbrellas for my strobe rig, and there’s really not much left.
ParticipantIf you have an account there, you can have a library of your own pics that you can share, or not, at your discretion. I don’t think it’d be that difficult to link from there. It might be worth asking them if that’s what they’ve done.
ParticipantI’ll keep you both in my thoughts.
Somehow we missed the mess over the weekend – A couple of t-storms on the way in to OK, but we were out before stuff came down Sunday =/
Participantolavf: cool thanks
NP. I PM’ed her, so hopefully she’ll see it before green time.
/and stay safe tonight, ‘kay?
ParticipantEls I paged QB for you. I’ll hit FB too just to be safe. I think she’s lurking somewhere.
ParticipantI’d be inclined to leave it just for the Caturday promo.
In other news, I think my last shot was the final straw. Bedroom door is definitely going to be locked tonight, just in case.
ParticipantDavid Thorne is seriously funny. And weird. And weird and funny.
I came across that site a number of years ago when the ‘spider drawing as payment’ made the internet rounds.
ParticipantI’ve got one so far that may have some potential. I’m planning on having a few more beers and taking advantage of the fact that the cats are wanting extra attention because we were gone all weekend before I go for a few more.
This should be…fun.
ParticipantOkies… I’m just dashing through and posting…so if my ‘air’ is out of bounds, go ahead and delete it and I’ll deal with it when I get home later tonight.
ParticipantThe most ghetto area within 4 hours from here are a toss-up between downtown Oakland or the Tenderloin in SF, and I seem to have misplaced my body armor…
How do you think I feel? I live in Toronto, ghetto is where they forget to clean the streets one day 😉
True, but m??se bites can be nast?…

ParticipantWell, I got all four of my shots for this week, even though a cloudy day made me have to go archive diving for ‘Earth’. Also, while doing the shots for fire, this happened:

Long story short, I managed to cut myself while using my flint & steel to light some magnesium. The worst part is that I’m not going to end up using ANY of those photos. Thankfully, it wasn’t incredibly deep, and seems to be healing fine.Ouch!
Unfortunately the humors would be another contest…
(WTF is ‘black bile’ anyway?)/sorry ’bout the edit. Whoops. I fixded it.
