"Our valued destiny comes to nothing..."
A bit of randomness, since I don't have any pictures yet. :P
* Fans of Final Fantasy VII/Advent Children, check this out! namikala posted a YouTube version of some Korean pop music video... it's basically a live-action recreation of the Tifa vs. Loz fight! o_o!! linky link
* More Final Fantasy VII crap, this time of the Crisis Core persuasion. XD A friend on my other LJ scanned some articles from some Japanese game mags, including one on CC with this image of Zack:
Is he, or is he not, a spitting image of Yukinojo? O_o; Scary XD Hmm, Yuki would be a good height with Mara (who's supposed to be Zack's sister)... XD (No, not really seriously considering it, but it amused me, hehe.)
* A separate issue altogether... photography question! I was trying to photo all that leather last night, and was having what I think of as a bad-light-night, when I can never get the lights positioned right, never mind the fact that they're *always in the same place*, wtf. ~_~ Anyway, I was having horrible issues of wash-out on the dolls' faces, despite the fact that the overall light was pretty low. If I moved in really close to their faces, the lighting was better, but I don't want all my shots that close ;P I'm guessing it's a metering thing -- but I couldn't find a metering mode on my camera that seemed to help much. I've got "Spot", "Center" and "Multi".
So, two questions... 1. Are there camera things I can do to help this problem? and 2. Are there lighting things I can do to *avoid* this problem? :p
Out of the 66 pics I took, 24 were possibly salvageable, and that's being generous. ~_~ I may try again tonight. Sigh.
