Photo: 00 Raiser Box!
by cfgt on Apr.13, 2009, under Photos
After more than a month of thinking about it, and allowing it to run out of stock all over the place, I've decided to finally buy a 1/100 00 Raiser kit. I've yet to open it – since I bought it just so that when I do want to buy and build it (which is after exams) – I actually have a kit to buy. It's been awfully difficult to find at the right price – but I've finally bought it.
You can guess what this means: more photos in May or June once I'm done building it – of course, I don't paint, so it's bound to look like crap (although it does mean it'll only take me one afternoon, rather than one month).

Well, obviously, considering my course, I obviously use calculators. Here are the three I currently use the most. (besides my computer and my PDA)
Experimenting with CG Bokeh

Now, I don't have the money for lenses with good bokeh – especially since I don't use them, so I started experimenting with other cheaper ways to simulate the effect – like generating the effect in Photoshop – no, not with Gaussian blur or lens blur. Something a little more convincing.
(Don't worry about the white line in the original, that's part of my selection work going a little awry.)
After a little selecting work, some third party filters, and the result is this:
If you think it looks fake – look carefully at the table – and compared the two photos. You'll realise that only a very specific portion (or distance) from the Coke can has been blurred!
