One who took these pictures knew how to light up the scene and to hold the camera. Which kind of lenses were used to take these pictures? She used natural light and some overhead light to set the scene. As for lenses, hmm, she used her cellphone for that Samsung Galaxy S9. Apparently those have extensive photo capabilities. hollowneck 1 Quote Finest ship kits & fittings - http://craftysailor.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She spent a lot of time searching for the right phone with the best photo taking capabilities. That was her main requirement. hollowneck 1 Quote Finest ship kits & fittings - http://craftysailor.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used aftermarket lasercut grating 2. I made my own ropes 3. I used aftermarket wooden belaying pins instead of brass one that came with the kit hollowneck 1 Quote Finest ship kits & fittings - http://craftysailor.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
