Lettera Porn

For Mr. Speegle's challenge: a sunny day with the camera and Lettera on hand, and voila...

Shadowy Words

Big Red

Seriously, how did you do that so fast? It's a bit unsettling. Very pretty (the second one especially), but still, unsettling.

Also, what kind of camera did you use for these if you don't mind me asking?

Didn't mean to startle you, but I have my camera, the typewriter, and a sunny window on hand, so... *click click click*

These were all shot with my Canon PowerShot A630: these were the best of the ten or so I quickly snapped. I boosted the color levels just a touch in Gimp on the red key photo, but I already had the camera set to bump them up a bit. I like the hyper-real Technicolor look, and that Look At Me tab key just demands it.

That one red Lettera key is just... the designer KNEW it would bewitch people 50 years into the future, and he was right.

Good Lord. That's stunning.

Even though I have little use for tabbing in everyday typing, I just have to press it. There's few things as tempting as an unlabeled red button, waiting un-pressed.
