Photo Procrastination
Does anyone else have that problem where it takes them a good 2 weeks to 6 months to take photos of their latest MOC?
It's easy to take a quick, cruddy WIP pic and toss it online for a "what do you think?" post. But it takes time and effort to set up a lightbox or white/solid background, find proper lighting with sunlight or a strong lamp positioned well, and take decent photos.
And then choosing a half-dozen good ones at different angels.
And then cropping them (the easiest thing, especially with Picasa).
Right now I have a Vic Viper complete. That needs to be finalized on the internet before the 30th.
I also still have yet to take proper pix of my SHIP. I have photos of it lit up at BrickFair, but I need some against a solid background (unfortunately relighting it with my LEDs will take even more time, and then unlighting it. Would it be acceptable just to point to a few lit BrickFair photos?).
Question: It's a white MOC (with trans-blue accents). I have both light tan and dark green bedsheets. Which do you think would be best? (Here's a preliminary pic from last semester, for class, before I touched it up.)
This would be a lot easier if I had a better setup for taking pix. I did last year, but now I do not.
