• Put your keyboard somewhere well lit with natural light.
• Set the camera to aperture priority mode*, and select f/8. The lower the number: the more "bokeh" (arty blur) you will get. The higher the number, the more of the keyboard will be in focus in a shot.
• Ignore the camera's screen. Use only the viewfinder when shooting.
• Get down close to the board, low angles are generally more interesting.
• Pick something good for the middle of your picture. And try to make the corners matter too.
• Get used to autofocus. It can be a bastard. Back away a bit if autofocus never bites.
• Take about 4x as many pictures as you think you need. Then do some more.
• Once you're done, load them up on your computer and tweak the levels so the whites are white and the blacks are black.
• Do all of this again, and gradually suck less at it.

Photography!

*I actually shoot in shutter priority mode. Aperture and shutter priority modes are pretty much all you ever need on an SLR. I have a slow old camera, and shitty light up here, so I have to watch out for accidental long exposures. Shutter priority means I can simply shoot at 1/60th of a second with my 60mm prime, and get decent shots free from motion blur. Aperture priority is better if your gear is modern and your light is good.

Any suggestions on what to use on my FN and PN keys on a Pok3r? I can't seem to find any blank 1.25 keys.

More will be shipped tomorrow,
by the bot himself!

7bit... I really do like you mate

wahoooooooooooo!

Aww, yeah... Gonna get my Space Cadet on!

Just to be sure, and to humor me, to make a full 104 set I'd need a Keyboard kit, Numeric kit, and Space bar? Pretty sure that covers it...

I'm going to put those keycaps on my Pok3r. It's going to be my Space Baby.

How can I find out the status of my order as in whether it was shipped. My invoice is numbered 0007 so I would think that being number 7, I'd have received mine already.

I will always think of Sealab 2021 when I hear Space Baby.

Send a private message of "WASSUP" to the bot (7bot) to (eventually) get an email of the status of your order.

Thanks, breh!

Breh? Where is that guy?

(I loathe having things perma stuck in my PM outbox. And the oldest one in there is something I wrote to him to answer some ordering question he had about this GB some weeks ago. Guess I should just go delete it.)

(Done. Flushed the stinky lot! Don't dirty up my PM interface, people. Writing to me is fine. But reading my responses is mandatory!)

Crap. I was just saying "breh" as in "bro," "dude," "guy," "man," "jabroni," etc. Totally forgot there was a user with the name "breh."

Oh, fair enough, Duderino. You know, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

You know who else loved The Big Lebowski, Mu? Ripster.

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just, like, you're opinion, man.

Fuck sympathy! I don't need your fuckin' sympathy, man, I need my fucking johnson!

This is why i love offtopicthority!

This is how to properly fill the time when nothing is happening with the drop.
I do wonder exactly what 7bit met by 'the bot himself' will be shipping more tomorrow....

Time to switch quotes from Lebowski to Terminator…
