  Definitely let us know if you do. I popped over to Davenport yesterday
  for a little shooting just before sunset:

 This one's a hell of a shot:

Thanks. I worried that it was too cliche', but if it is, I guess
there's a reason for it. The birds flying in front right when I took
the first shot of the boat was amazing luck. I don't remember if this
was that, or when I saw another flock going past.

 
 But just a small nit, is the horizon just a titch off horizontal?
 About .5 degree?  Not that it takes away...

I'll check on that. It very likely is, the original was about 5
degrees off. I can't seem to hold a camera level to save my soul.

 I kinda like it, just like I kinda liked that Pentax when I saw one.  
 But then, I like a blue camera too.

it's horrible. But they've been making special editions since 1929, so I
don't suppose they care what I think.

 Good composition, color. I like the way you've balanced the small orange

 Superb!

Re: so that I don't have to reinvent the wheel

2009-04-08 Thread Luiz Felipe

Used paper negatives once or twice in large format days, and it's really 
interesting. Didn't try the acetate idea, but that's interesting. I 
printed dive tables in acetate to be kept in the BC pockets at all 
times, just in case I needed to change the profile in the middle of the 
dive - way cheaper than imported dive tables on fancy plastic sheets :-)


I did my paper negative experiments in photographic paper, then. Some 
inquisitive mind could post other results, one of these days...


Great idea, Ann, Larry.

Re: OT PESO - By the power of Greyskull....

2009-04-08 Thread David Savage

Thanks Christine

I was lucky to stumble upon such a socially active Flickr group of a
similar age mentality :-) . It's lead me in turn my photography,
to places situations that I most likely wouldn't have ventured into.

I still take the pentax out about so I hope to have something to
contribute in the next annual.

Cheers,

Dave

2009/4/5 Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net:
WOW! What fun. Dave, you're such an inspiration. I really admire the
sense of photographic community that you are part of and support in your
area of Australia--and I have always felt that you really strive for
creativity and mastery of technique--your Butterfly shot is one of my all
time favorite photos--and now this, what fun. I'm sure you'll be taking a
lot more great photos during the rest of the year, but this one below--your
umbrella shot-- is really great might be one for the annual--wait a
minute, oh boo, you probably shot this with your new Nikon, right? Bummer.
Well, great shot anyway! Really enjoyed it. Cheers, Christine

G'day all,

Here is another from last weekend:

Direct link (~120kb):
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3617/3400865997_f065a98701_o.jpg

There was no Photoshop trickery involved. If you click on the first
link there is an explanation of how the shot was made.

A small gallery of my other shots from the night can be found here:
