Re: August PUG is open
The August PUG is open. A bit late due to last minute adjustments. Thanks Adelheid! I looked at this gallery and had three quick thoughts: a lot of really good photographs here; a LOT of photographs here; and, I won't be commenting on ALL of them this time...at least my first two thoughts were correct... Harald Rust -- A classic scene. Love the colours. Perhaps a lower viewpoint to get more of them? Sridhar Gibikote -- Pre-architecture? Nicely shot and I like the story. Bob Walkden -- Good juxtaposition (but that's next month!) of young and old. Kenneth Waller -- I would call this another classic scene (no, don't ask me what I mean; I don't know either); beautifully shot. Thrainn Vigfusson -- Moody, atmospheric and I think the sepia works well. Perhaps include a little more sky top right? Jostein -- One of my favourites: the sign makes this shot: makes me smile! (Good thing Bob and Cotty were late.) Evan Hanson -- It seems a little flat, faded? But I like it: it is a view of Venice that differs from others I've seen; more homely? Greg Cooper -- Could perhaps have cropped even more? I particularly like the bell. Steven Sharpe -- Another classic scene. Looks a little bit soft but I like the angular shapes. Bob Sullivan -- This is another that looks a little flat: the lighting? I was about to say also perhaps a bit soft? but perhaps I'm just used to images which have been over sharpened? I like the positioning with the older buildings in the foreground and the newer across the river. Bruce Dayton -- Another of my favourites: the lighting is wonderful and the symmetry. Jan van Wijk -- Another favourite: a wonderful building though I can't imagine why anyone actually built it. Dan Matyola -- Old age in stone; like the textures. Henk Terhell -- Wonderful building and nicely shot. Only niggle is that I find the chopped reliefs at the left and right edges a bit distracting. Scott Loveless -- Simple but striking. For some reason, this is another favourite from the gallery. Toralf -- Love this one! Certainly a favourite. The folded jacket (or whatever) is a bit of a distraction. Perhaps looking down a little more to show more of the castle would be nice? Tom Reese -- A tad too bright? But I like the colours and ornamentation. Lucas Rijnders -- Another favourate here. I like the shapes, tilt and muted colours. DagT -- Interesting shapes and colours. I liked it more the second time I looked at it. (Surprised to see no naked people, though.) David Savage -- Yes; great. I'm not picking a best of but this would be close. Wonderful mixture of rectangular shapes and line. Paul Stenquist -- Wonderful gothic mood! The middle tree is a bit in the way but another favourite. Jaume Lahuerta -- This is another I liked more on the second look: the lines converging capture my eye. Mark Roberts -- The detail is interesting here and I like the way it has been captured. Makes an interesting contrast to Dan's photo. Peter J. Alling -- Great lighting and colours; interesting building. Jens Bladt -- Not as abstract as Scott's, so doesn't work quite so well for me: like the angle and view, though. Mike Wilson -- For me, the context makes this one: older than America. Matja Osojnik -- Love this one, too! It makes the connection between architecture and people: places to work, live and relax. Thomas Cakalic -- Simple and abstract but another of my favourites. Wonderful colours. Another possible best of for me. Ray Allen -- I like it but the tilt disturbs me a bit. The blue of the sky is gorgeous (as it so often is in Oz). Ann Sanfedele -- Great photo and definitely another favourite; and probable candidate for best of. I really like the effect here. Gianfranco Irlanda -- I DO like this one. It conveys the majesty of the cathedral but also the crowded nature of the neighbourhood. I think this is a really interesting capture. Pancho Hasselbach -- Yes, great sense of space and tiny people dwarfed in a giant modern space. Boris Liberman -- Like the angle and the perspective: uses the curvature to very good effect. Don Sanderson -- A simple but such an interesting subject; I keep looking at this one. John Likes -- Like the shapes, the angle and the red colour in the ceiling. John Coyle -- Similar subject to Lucas. It doesn't quite grab me, but I'm not sure why: a little static? Interesting building, though. Joseph Tainter -- Simple but effective. The doorways, all slightly different shapes and at different angles, lead my eye into the scene. I think I have to say another favourite. Rick Womer -- I like it but, like a couple of others, it doesn't quite grab me. Overall, I think this is an excellent gallery. Over the weekend I went back through ALL the past PUG galleries and I think it would be tough to find one much better than this (my opinion, of course).

Wuz me. For those who might wish to try this at home, the crucial missing bit is to push the flash button on the ist D's top deck until it shows a W (wireless). Of course, if you hold the camera sideways, it becomes a sigma (for the flash brand under discussion); upside down it's an M (for mountain); sideways the other way it's a 3 (which is a pretty high number to count to sometimes...).

You're probably right it's a scan of an 15 year old print. I tried to punch it up with PS.

A bit late due to last minute adjustments. Thanks Adelheid! I looked at this gallery and had three quick thoughts: a lot of really good photographs here; a LOT of photographs here; and, I won't be commenting on ALL of them this time...at least my first two thoughts were correct... Harald Rust -- A classic scene. Love the colours. Perhaps a lower viewpoint to get more of them? Sridhar Gibikote -- Pre-architecture? Nicely shot and I like the story. Bob Walkden -- Good juxtaposition (but that's next month!) of young and old. Kenneth Waller -- I would call this another classic scene (no, don't ask me what I mean; I don't know either); beautifully shot. Thrainn Vigfusson -- Moody, atmospheric and I think the sepia works well. Perhaps include a little more sky top right? Jostein -- One of my favourites: the sign makes this shot: makes me smile! (Good thing Bob and Cotty were late.) Evan Hanson -- It seems a little flat, faded? But I like it: it is a view of Venice that differs from others I've seen; more homely? Greg Cooper -- Could perhaps have cropped even more? I particularly like the bell. Steven Sharpe -- Another classic scene. Looks a little bit soft but I like the angular shapes. Bob Sullivan -- This is another that looks a little flat: the lighting? I was about to say also perhaps a bit soft? but perhaps I'm just used to images which have been over sharpened? I like the positioning with the older buildings in the foreground and the newer across the river. Bruce Dayton -- Another of my favourites: the lighting is wonderful and the symmetry. Jan van Wijk -- Another favourite: a wonderful building though I can't imagine why anyone actually built it. Dan Matyola -- Old age in stone; like the textures. Henk Terhell -- Wonderful building and nicely shot. Only niggle is that I find the chopped reliefs at the left and right edges a bit distracting. Scott Loveless -- Simple but striking. For some reason, this is another favourite from the gallery. Toralf -- Love this one! Certainly a favourite. The folded jacket (or whatever) is a bit of a distraction. Perhaps looking down a little more to show more of the castle would be nice? Tom Reese -- A tad too bright? But I like the colours and ornamentation. Lucas Rijnders -- Another favourate here. I like the shapes, tilt and muted colours. DagT -- Interesting shapes and colours. I liked it more the second time I looked at it. (Surprised to see no naked people, though.) David Savage -- Yes; great. I'm not picking a best of but this would be close. Wonderful mixture of rectangular shapes and line. Paul Stenquist -- Wonderful gothic mood! The middle tree is a bit in the way but another favourite. Jaume Lahuerta -- This is another I liked more on the second look: the lines converging capture my eye. Mark Roberts -- The detail is interesting here and I like the way it has been captured. Makes an interesting contrast to Dan's photo. Peter J. Alling -- Great lighting and colours; interesting building. Jens Bladt -- Not as abstract as Scott's, so doesn't work quite so well for me: like the angle and view, though. Mike Wilson -- For me, the context makes this one: older than America. Matja Osojnik -- Love this one, too! It makes the connection between architecture and people: places to work, live and relax. Thomas Cakalic -- Simple and abstract but another of my favourites. Wonderful colours. Another possible best of for me. Ray Allen -- I like it but the tilt disturbs me a bit. The blue of the sky is gorgeous (as it so often is in Oz). Ann Sanfedele -- Great photo and definitely another favourite; and probable candidate for best of. I really like the effect here. Gianfranco Irlanda -- I DO like this one. It conveys the majesty of the cathedral but also the crowded nature of the neighbourhood. I think this is a really interesting capture. Pancho Hasselbach -- Yes, great sense of space and tiny people dwarfed in a giant modern space. Boris Liberman -- Like the angle and the perspective: uses the curvature to very good effect. Don Sanderson -- A simple but such an interesting subject; I keep looking at this one. John Likes -- Like the shapes, the angle and the red colour in the ceiling. John Coyle -- Similar subject to Lucas. It doesn't quite grab me, but I'm not sure why: a little static? Interesting building, though. Joseph Tainter -- Simple but effective. The doorways, all slightly different shapes and at different angles, lead my eye into the scene. I think I have to say another favourite. Rick Womer -- I like it but, like a couple of others, it doesn't quite grab me. Overall, I think this is an excellent

Problem with DL USB cable
Hi, Mi friend's DL has developed a problem related to the PC connexion. He has the cable always atteched to the computer and last Sunday, when he wanted to download their latest pictures, he found that the computer freezes once the cable is pluged into the camera, an even before the camera is switched on !! If I remember right, first the monitor goes blank and when he turns on the camera on, the computer freezes completely and he has to restart (resulting in a disk scan). Since the only change with the last time he downloaded pictures was the installation of a webcam, he has tested with another computer, with the same results. He can watch pictures on TV with the other cable so, can be some kind of USB cable issue?. This weekend I'll bring my Ds and cable so we can test further but in the meantime, any idea of what is going on? Any similar experience? Thanks, Jaume __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

PESO - Bandera Monumental
I actually got back from Mexico two weeks ago, but did get anything up until now :( It was a great time, and my first real trip since I got my camera, so now I have lots of PESO's but no more peso's.

Re: Cosina 19-35 vs FAJ 18-35
400 Euro's for the 18-35 FA-J is extremely pricey, it's $140USD lens at BH.

Re: PESO - The Lonely Field

Blank field at right is distracting. #3 Might be the best if made into a vertical. Include nice fence, the near bales and crop off the out buildings.
