MI R0 Boxset (left panel)


First created on 28th Apr 2003.


The reflection off the paper is much more obvious here. Part of the box is cropped off due to trying to work around the non-100% viewfinder. Anyway, the scanner does not scan 100% of the negative.

I was unable to fill the frame (vertically) with just one panel because I don't have a macro lens. As a result, I have the brainstorm to put two panels in one shot!

Does it work? Well.. the panels are not flat, and that means DOF is a concern. Also, a non-flat panel means it cannot be used as a true-to-proportion 2D model of the original.

I was in a hurry, trying to squeeze these shots in 30 minutes to try to leave on time, and I was hungry. Due to the time constraint, I didn't plan the shots beforehand, and I did not define the objective of the shoot. Needless to say, I did not end up with very usable shots. (In the end I spent slightly over one hour to take 20 shots.)

Lens Minolta AF 50mm f/1.4. Aperture f/8. Shutter speed 1/8. 2-sec MLU. On tripod.
