Re: PESO - Just A Tree (Lone Cypress Envy)
I probably can sharpen it a tad more. Thanks. I try not to oversharpen jpgs Saved for Web to avoid pixelating. I'll play with it. Pretty sure I want to print it. I was really disappointed in the 17-mile drive. Tons and tons and tons of new houses along the drive that seem to have decimated the surrounding pine/etc. forest. Though areas were marked as preserves it seemed to me an awful lot of trees must have come down for building (though many houses build around the trees). Even if trees didn't come down, thinning out the underbrush for building would weaken the surrounding forest and it appeared to have. Parts of it didn't look that healthy to me. I saw it in my teens and I am sure there was once more wildness there. I know why people want to live there, but it made me sad. Later, Marnie Actually, it wasn't a crop.

PESO - No Coffee, No Ice Cream (Street Photography)
Since I had the 50mm on my camera for the Monterey Aquarium, on the way back from it I tried a little street photography because that lens is less obtrusive. Of course, OTOH, as I seemed to be carrying the only DSLR on the street, I wasn't THAT unobtrusive. I took several shots of different people doing different things. This is probably the best. I first noticed the building. I cropped this to remove a public trash receptacle on the right, but I liked the windows at the top -- pink curb, pink shutters, yellow building. So someday I may use a different crop and clone out the basket. If I care. And, yes, I could probably sharpen it a tad more, too. Nothing great. I just liked the colors and the old guy's attitude. (The two men appeared to be together). However, he soon noticed me and my camera, so I only took one shot of them. Just throwing this up to prove I did try a little street photography while in Monterey. So give me my brownie points. :-) http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/nocoffee.htm Comments welcome.

Need More Storage?
If you need more storage space for digital photos, TigerDirect currently has a Seagate 250 MB, 7200 rpm, ATA 100 drive with an external USB 2/Firewire case for $100. That's after a $50 rebate. The rebate offer is good through 4/30. Even if the rebate is a scam, it still sounded like a pretty good deal at $150. I've ordered one in anticipation of the new notebook that I've yet to buy. Joe

Audubon-like. 3606 - Nice eagle. Why does it seem their head is usually against the sky? 3667 - Love the violin. 3864 - Striking and nice composition. The last shot on the boat is very good.

Re: PESO: All Hands Starboard!
Paul, I agree. Never found the items Boris and Marnie mentioned to be distracting in any way. In fact, they went unnoticed until Boris mentioned them, as the child's face is very dominant and strong. Sometimes these distractions add to the story or the sense of place. In this case those elements are germane to the photo. As a result of not making the suggested changes, you're left with a photo that's more real Shel [Original Message] From: Paul Stenquist Thanks for the feedback. I don't want to crop the lower portion or edit out the object on top of her head. Those changes would eliminate the high chair from which she is leaning out. It's simple enough to eliminate the electrical outlet and even the curtain, but I don't know if I want to make it that sterile. It's not a studio shot. It's a real kid in a real kitchen.

They had to replace it, of course, but that required either transplanting a mature tree or waiting 200 years for a young one to grow. The guy wires are there because this is a transplanted, mature tree. Joe

Re: Need More Storage?
My notebook has a 100GB drive, which is more than adequate for now, but for peace of mind (backups) I went for a 250GB network storage drive. It's a hard drive that plugs into a hub or router, and provides storage to all computers on the same network (with account/password protection options). I really like the solution. It might be a little slower than a USB2.0 or Firewire drive, at 100 megabit ethernet rates, but I find it's fast enough for my needs. Nowadays you can get gigabit rate network drives too though. Anyway, what I like about the solution is that it allows my wife, on her notebook, and I on mine to both work with our photos without swapping cables. ...and I can take it with me to another network, plug it in, and use it there too. USB2.0 drives are convenient if you're in a single-user environment, where you don't mind being tied to your hardware by a cable. But with a network drive, you still have all the connection options that your network provides. In my case, that means I can access the network drive via my WiFi-enabled computers, without any wires, as long as the drive is plugged into a network with a wireless router or switch.

And now I am wondering if 640MB/60GB is enough for a sub-notebook. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf Idiot Proof == Expert Proof --- Cotty wrote: On 26/4/06, Joseph Tainter, discombobulated, unleashed: If you need more storage space for digital photos, TigerDirect currently has a Seagate 250 MB, 7200 rpm, ATA 100 drive That would tie in nicely with Bill Gates' prediction that all we would ever need was 640k of RAM :-)
