Started prepping to cut down on my backlog today...



All the boxes in this pic have either no pics, not entered into my spreadsheet or may need updated pics. Though the majority have no pics at all

Nothing as cool as the Smith Corona Ultrasonic keyboard, but there are a bunch of interesting ones (such as the oldest "computer" keyboard I own as of now).

Seems you have some work to do [emoji4]

I hate you a little...

Somebody wants to win a Wingnut again?

The only question is: do you now have a camera with a flash?

My camera/phone has had a flash since I started posting to Flickr. And unless the glare is too high, I use a Fill Flash.

Though I'm open to camera suggestions seeing as black friday is coming up soon

It's spelled "braglog"…

A couple of things would make all the difference, photography wise. A macro lens is the top one. Both Canon and Nikon have excellent ones, at several hundred bucks, which need a DSLR behind them of course! You can cheap out a little on the camera, though; as keyboards aren't exactly fast moving, so the entry level DSLR camera bodies ought to perform admirably.

The second thing is a good soft flash. You can achieve that by popping on an external flash (the cool kids say "strobe") to the top of the camera and pointing up, away from the subject. But lighting is a hell of a deep rabbit hole in its own right, and there truly is no end of it, just like these keyboards.

He's just pestering Beardsmore. Open those switches!

Don't forget the piano's keyboard. I look forward to its review as well.

I bet his piano is rubber dome.

Imagine if piano keyboards had cheapened like computer keyboards have. We'd have flat chiclet pianos at classical recitals by now.

Uhm. They have.



You certainly can't find ivory key pianos at your local music store. (Not that I think one should ever own or purchase one!)

You don't always need a DSLR sometimes the camera on your phone with the built in led/flash works as well
