I’ve worked out, more or less, how to tame Softpress Freeway to let me produce a custom template. I think there will be some tweakage to go before I am completely satisfied.
I know, I know. I want to get the look right, and get a good list of topics in place before I worry about posting some images. If you want to see photos, check the Personal Pixels link. There aren’t any scale model shots there yet, but give it time.
Meanwhile, over at the Dennis Publishing forums, we’ve kicked off another of our monthly photographic competitions. (I know this link will eventually break, once the thread stops being a sticky, but isn’t that one of the joys of this interweb thing?)
The theme for October is “Macro”, and that has sent me scurrying to find out more. I know the principles, but I don’t have the kit. That is to say my current set of lenses do not have a true macro setting, so I’m going to try and improvise with the reverse lens technique. There’s a good video tutorial over at the DPS blog which explains it way better than I could ever manage. I’ll also dust off my Cokin dioptre enlargement filters and have some fun.
I promise I’ll pull together some sample model shots for you over the weekend. In fact, I’ve written it out on a piece of paper in front of me so I don’t forget.
