As in regular shot . . .

Model of Maori Canoemodel waka

  • Maori canoe (or waka) model.
  • Except for the blended layers shots, all shots are ISO 100, f/22, 1/20 sec.
  • You can tell the blended layer shots by the weird fringing around the rope.<br /> <br /> Blended shots are 4-5 photographs, each with varying focus points, blended into a composite with a depth of field encompassing the entire boat.
  • As in regular shot . . .
  • . . . blended layer shot . . .
  • . . . and a quasi-black-and-white processing version which I happen to like.
  • Sometime I mix it up . . . regular shot . . .
  • . . . odd processing shot
  • . . . and blended layer shot. <br /> <br /> Can't figure out how to get rid of the fringing. I think the high contrast on the rope messes up the algorithm used to blend.
  • The model is a little beat up . . .
  • . . . it came back with us during one of our mid-90s trips to the Big Island of Hawai'i.
  • It's made from odd materials . . . the logs are rolled up paper, there is some actual wood (probably bamboo), and odd little pieces.
  • We liked it the moment we saw it.
  • The sails are probably not in realistic positions . . .
  • I had to take the thing apart to fir it in the suitcase, and I was not sure how to put it back together.
  • Probably should have taken a photo of it prior to taking it apart.
  • The oars were glued in there, and consequently some were bent (you can see the crease).
  • Don't know why I like this processing, but I do.
  • I like the gold coloring . . .
  • But this shows more detail, and it somehow fits the subject.
