I think that might be the conference that a friend was asking me if I

I was shooting under a lamp that came on intermittently. When it was
on it gave a strong greenish cast to the light, so I color balanced
the fence on that light, which gave the background an interesting
orange cast.

Thanks a bunch.

I'm just waiting for Pentax to come out with a body with the low light
abilities of the D700.

in the export window, you scroll down to the settings below "File

Marnie,
That's a classic old hang glider air foil.
He actually took off with it.
The first time I saw the Lone Cyprus, we could walk right out to it.  (1960?)
Bad idea as my mom wanted a souvenir piece of 'driftwood'.

I've just adjusted the settings so that you can buy the Permium Paper

Anyway, the official Blurb page should now show Premium Paper.

Anyone have any thoughts on dust-jacket vs image-wrap?  Kinda hard to tell

GESO: Just sayin', that 50-135...

[Tim Bray]

... it's an unreasonably wonderful lens.

Took some shots of a 5K run at a geek conference in totally horrible
lighting conditions, they were crossing the finish line against a
background of a brilliant San Francisco Bay sunrise.  The fact that
they are even remotely usable is a miracle.

Re: PESO: Battery Point Light

[Fernando]

Hi Jack

I couldn't do it before, I saw this one at work and wasn't able to
comment. Amazing shot, great light and composition; what I like the
most is the mix of a contrasty main subject and the hazy background.
PDML book worthy.

I have both the standard hardcover (with dust jacket) and the "image
wrap". The dust jacket is glossy and has much deeper blacks and
brighter highlights... but the image wrap book looks *very* classy. I
think it's worth the extra money but I doubt you'd be disappointed
with either.

It's 35DegC in the shade outside my back door at Freshwater, so not
really worth more than an hour driving unless you head straight for
the water.  Your local Westfield or Hoyts would give you much more
immediate relief from the heat.  I'd head for the local RSL club,
myself, for a dose of double cooling aircon on the surface, and a
long, cold ale taken internally :-)

RE: OT: Vinyl vs. Digital : One retailers sales data

Your post is not clear if your being serious or
sarcastic. I will state what I have been saying
all along, I don't believe the majority of
new vinyl sales in 2009 is dance records as suggested, its
mostly reissues of classic rock, jazz and classical. 
I have been follwing the "new" LP market for 20 years
since the low point in '89 or so when everybody
thought vinyl was dead for good. While there are a
lot of dance releases on vinyl that are new for
2009 music, that's not where the bulk of vinyl
sales come from. It's now an expensive audiophile format dominated
by new release reissues of classic recordings
from the latter half of the 30th century.

Heh.  I like that.

The Surly is mine.  Picked it up this last Spring and have been making
it heavier ever since.  The red one is a late 80s Trek 520.  Adam
brought it to a nearby frame builder and had the canti posts moved for
700c wheels, the rear triangle spread and the whole thing repainted.
It's quite nice and it gets a lot of looks.  One passing cyclist even
asked if it was a custom frame.

Bathing Dog is terrific.  Dog looking back at people, humans urging

Bronte Leap is a fun gallery.  You got the divers perfectly!  That

Very nice little gallery - looks like a spectacular place to camp.  My

Re: PDML Annual ordering

[Stan Halpin]

IMHO, the Blurb dust jacket looks nicer initially, but the image-wrap is 
clearly more durable. If they offered a version with dust jacket wrapped around 
an image wrap, I would take that in a heartbeat! As it is, none of the several 
Blurb books I have purchased for self and for gifts (own work and PDML Annual) 
have had the dust jacket option.

PESO - The Second Rain

[Eactivist]

Just a leaf on the lawn after the second rain we've had in about a month to 
 month and a half. 

Yes, even though California has hit the "rainy season" we remain  
drought/semi-drought ridden and aren't getting much.

Nothing special, I  just wanted to celebrate the rain and I liked the  
light.

Comments  Welcome.

OT GESO - Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers

[Derby Chang]

I love seeing young bands get up, have a go, and clearly have a lot of 
fun while doing it


Cuthbert had the most people I've ever seen on the Annandale stage. At 
one time there were a dozen, along with giant balloons, and sing-along 
placards. Very entertaining

Fun spot for Bay area folks, Seaport Blvd, Redwood City

[Larry Colen]

On my way up to Friday Night Blues last night, I saw a sign at an AM/ 
PM that made me wonder WTF they were thinking, I hope that you'll get  
a chuckle out of it too:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4123026770/in/set-72157622849212838/

Years ago, I used to work at the end of Seaport Blvd (what Woodside Rd/ 
hwy 84 turns into at 101), and would frequently take my camera for a  
walk out on the levies overlooking the salt ponds. I've been curious  
about shooting it at night for a while and last night thought that I'd  
just stop for a few minutes, nothing serious, just a few test shots.   
It's funny how I still fall for some of the same old lies.


Despite my intent to just shoot a few test shots and come back at a  
more convenient time, if they worked out, I did manage to get a few  
shots that I don't think entirely suck:

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157622724969347/

I wanted to mention this in case any of the Bay Area folks were  
looking for a place to shoot. The area seems to be full of  
opportunities, especially since there is also some heavy industry and  
a couple of harbors in the neighborhood. I left about 5AM, but I  
suspect that it would be a great place to shoot from at sunrise. I  
know that's when Godfrey likes to go for his daily walk, but I was too  
tired to stay up that late.


I shot these from the business complex at the end of the road. There  
was a guard at the entrance when I came in who asked what I was doing,  
when I said "photography" he said "Cool! have fun" and jotted down my  
license plate number.

Blurb.com makes it impossible to sell the same book with both standard
and Premium Paper :(  For a while I had a separate "book" listed for
just the Premium version, but orders for the more expensive book
dropped off and referencing 2 URL's was suboptimal so I removed it.

I've just adjusted the settings so that you can buy the Permium Paper
version from Blurb. The standard version can be ordered through my web
site (I keep some of the paperback on hand at all times).

Anyway, the official Blurb page should now show Premium Paper.

Nice to continue to replace smoke in you lungs with crisp clear fall air.
Good photo coverage of what I'm sure was a very nice experience.

Re: PESO - To the Red Snail

Perhaps that's a red apron the cyclist is wearing and she is on her way to work 
in the "Red Snail" restaurant.(?)
Well caught, interesting scene.

Re: PESO - Wisteria

[Jack Davis]

Like it, Rick!! I know your chosen angle precludes your doing much about this, 
but I kind of a wish the upper windows would go away. Cropping  without 
eliminating the cornice and/or creating a distracting angle at the top would be 
pretty much beyond me. That, of course, doesn't mean it can't be done.

GESO - what I did last weekend

[Scott Loveless]

The Pine Creek Rail Trail is a wonderful LSD ride.  We left Wellsboro,
PA on Saturday, November 14th and finished up mid-afternoon the next
day in Jersey Shore, PA.  62-ish miles, with lots of site seeing,
bullshitting and 5mph ambling.  Camped at Black Walnut Bottom, just
like last year.  Saw bears.  Didn't bother to take any pictures until
Sunday.

There's a way to grab free map and adapt them for the device however.
But no commercialized maps, at least from Garmin.


Boris, you could also try Googling around the web, though it might take 
some finesse.  I managed to find free, high detail maps of Bulgaria on 
the web when none of the GPS vendors had coverage of that area (outside 
Greece, anyway).

They're in the "PDML Notebook" page I've been half-heartedly maintaining:

http://NutDriver.org/PDML-Notebook.html

Look for the "PDML Photo Annual" section and you'll find links to 
"Regular Paper", "Premium Paper", and "Cover Poster".

PESO - To the Red Snail

[Rick Womer]

This is one of the narrower houses we've seen, facing the river in Basel.  The 
frescoed picture of the snail has the legend "Zum Rotten Schneck" -- To the Red 
Snail.  I have no idea why.
