I like the Heritage Flights at airshows.   I try and pan across and use a
slower shutter speed to blur out the props on an old warbird.  There's a
little blur in the Mustang.

I'm using the Hoya HMC-Super UV filter (standard ring depth) on my

Re: PESO: My Spring Ritual

Thanks Ralf. Our temperatures only crept above freezing this past week, 
although it was a generally mild winter. However, I think plants become 
acclimated to the average temperatures of their home. I've noticed that 
most perennial flowers don't bloom quite as early here in the north 
central US as they did when I lived near the coast in New Jersey, even 
though we have had occasional winters that are as mile as those on the 
coast. Perhaps the plants are  programmed by the average winter temps. 
But it's obvious that one warm winter -- or one abnormally cold winter 
-- doesn't seem to upset the schedule as much as one might expect.

Let me apologise now to any Scots here - it's obviously in
Edinburgh (at the time of the G8 summit), which is not in England.

At least one of the other photographs shows cars driving on the
other side of the road (or, at least, stop lines for such), so
my surmise that different countries are involved seems confirmed.

Well, let's see.  The words are in English, and the second shot
of the "Make Poverty History" globe shows a double-decker bus
driving on the left hand side of the road.  That pretty much says
it's going to be somewhere in England :-)   Beyond that it gets a

images are from the same city - maybe not even from the same country.

PUG comments, part 1

[Tim Øsleby]

First: I have been many posts behind for some time. Now I am looking at an
empty in-box. A wonderful feeling. 
May I ask for a moment of list silence to let me celebrate the event? ;-)

Another way of celebrating is to comment the pugs. My favourites and almost
favourites are:

" I que es la veritat? " by  Lucas Rijnders. At first glanse this did say
much. When I notice the line that stands out, it changes. A pleasant image.

" MBD " by  Patrick Rendulic. I guess there are some message here. Sorry, it
does not reach me.

" Ripples " by  Henk Terhell. Really like this one. The perspective is
perfect. Myself may have ruined this using a wide angle, you didn't. My only
nit is about the top. There are some ripples that just starts, that annoyes
me a bit. Cropping of tiny bit would have improved it. 

" Field " by  Jens Bladt. This is one of your best shots Jens. Simple and
well done.

" Dew " by  Dag Thrane. The idea is good, but something is missing.
Something about the composition makes it fall apart.

" Metal Landscape " by  Gianfranco Irlanda. Interesting approach on a daily
life item. Well executed.

" Gords " by  Bob Sullivan. Well seen. A funny picture. I'm not convinced
about the framing. Something tells me you had other options that would have
given a better composition. 

" Green Light " by  Francis. Interesting  use of colours. Good light. 

" Pine Ball " by  Sandy Hermann. Well seen. Like the background. I'm not to
happy with the centred composition. 

" Anti Pattern " by  Boris Liberman. I like the title. 

" Webs " by  Catherine Wilson. Good idea. I wish it was sharper. 

" Marshal St, Scottsdale, Az " by  Ann Sanfedele. One more time Ann show us
a very good eye for lines. The moon (or whatever it is) makes this little
extra.

Think I'll stop here, I feel a bit negative. More to come, I hope.

Bruce,
The images in which the artist (wonderful talented artist) is seen
partially obscured by his drawing, must be a PS'd photo. Ya think?

Hello Shel,

Those are so cool!  I'm amazed at how they used the lines in the real
sidewalk to help change the reality for us.  Well worth sharing -
Thanks.

I've seen a couple of drawings like these onsite, and if you stand in the
right place they are as impressive in person as they are on film--maybe even
moreso.

Thanks for sharing, Shel.

I think like you, Jack -- I think I do, anyway... it would
be my tendency had I taken
this lovely shot and I wish I had.  But if I could only make
one tiny adjustment,
it would be to either crop so that little stone in front
wasn't in the picture or 
blur it out... my eye keeps going there.

This would have been a good 'patterns" shot I think,
Bruce... anyway, definitely my
kinda thing.

Don't feel bad, I forgot he was there too.  Matter of fact,
he only says he
was there!

Anyway, Bruce wasn't camping with us - snuck in stealthily.
I managed to
embarrass myself on the phone with Bruce when I was out west
and wasn't able to
connect with him last year - regretting I wouldn't get to
meet him.  Then he
pointed out that we had met.  

Good thing for a photog to have a low profile! :)

re: GESO: Bridezilla

[herb greenslade]

Hi Derby

Yeah, it's impossible to use autofocus, plus the noise - although with your 
daughter's friend's band, I don't think they'd notice :-) - I 
just manual focus all, and I do have some trouble. (I'm going to try out the 
KatzEye rangefinder prism in a couple of weeks) . 

I try to control my ISO because I can adjust for darker or brighter exposure. I 
found that using auto ISO many times just picks the 
wrong one, although the new restraints in the menu are interesting. I let the 
camera choose the aperture and shutter speed, and 
hold my breath (grin). When I'm serious, I bring along a monopod, use my Leica  
sometimes my LX  with colour negative film. 

You can see that I'm not very concerned with ultrasharp :-) but I do try to get 
the eyes as sharp as possible so as to define the 
person. Curiously most portraits I've seen in mags have the artists with closed 
eyes, and mine are mostly the same. 

herb
PS What do I have to do to get the odd foto up here? Help anybody??

Derby wrote:

it was very dark there. FA31, and manual focus (again too dark for the poor ol' 
SAFOX).

RE: PESO - In or Out

[Tim Øsleby]

I'm not to enthusiastic about the composition in this. Kind of right heavy.
On the other hand all my efforts on alternative crop ruins the qualities of
the image.

RE: geso: Flying things

Many good pictures here Francis. Hard to pick out a "winner". I have my
favourites, but that's just me. 
I know nothing about selling pictures. Except that I would like to be able
to sell some myself ;-)

I am planning to do some bird shooting myself. I found some inspiration and
ideas here. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing. The perspective and realism are incredible. Where is this? It
