Re: PESOS: Red Tulips, Two Ways

[Brian Walters]

Quoting Paul Stenquist :


At magic hour:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15549212&size=lg

Same group with north light and the ball down, different angle:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15549213&size=lg





Both especially good and difficult to choose between them.  I think  
'Magic Hour' because of the warm light and a more appealing  
composition (to my eye).

Re: GESO: Photowalk - 4/17/12

[Brian Walters]

Quoting Walt Gilbert :


Hi all,

It's been over a week since I went out on a photowalk, so I finally  
got off my dead ass and took the cameras out today. I suppose I got  
some decent shots, but I missed more than I caught. I did stumble  
upon a great spot for morning golden hour opportunities, though. Ten  
photos in all.


The shot of the robin carrying away the worm is a project I intend  
to return to until I get the rendering right.


Anyway -- same as usual: K20D and K-x, A-50/1.7 and Promaster 70-300/4-5.6

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157629842772567/

Comments, critiques and suggestions welcome as always.




A very enjoyable set.  The ladybug is my favourite.  Just shows that  
the subject doesn't need to be big in the frame to have impact.  The  
old orange barn is great also.

Quoting Darren Addy :


Wow am I a GOOBER sometimes (most times, truth be told). I've just

I also think I used the wrong white balance. That sort of limits the
quality you can get out of a panorama, but that didn't stop me from
trying. This was taken from a number of vertical shots stitched
together using Microsoft ICE and then cleaned up some in Photoshop.
The storm was just beginning to tornado in the distance (just left of

Well, it's of interest to me, locale notwithstanding.

Here's hoping all goes well and you pick up more business than you know 
what to do with.

Well, I have to admit I had my hopes up for some Derbyesque street 
photography. But, still, it's an interesting shot. If I were to change 
anything about it, I'd do a slightly tighter crop to get the $12 item 
out of the foreground.


Aside from that, based on the apparel, I'd probably spend a lot of time 
loitering at that storefront -- at least until they told me to beat it.

Wow am I a GOOBER sometimes (most times, truth be told). I've just
today realized that I had my K-x set on 6M JPEG only (no RAW) for my
chase pics on Sat.
I also think I used the wrong white balance. That sort of limits the
quality you can get out of a panorama, but that didn't stop me from
trying. This was taken from a number of vertical shots stitched
together using Microsoft ICE and then cleaned up some in Photoshop.
The storm was just beginning to tornado in the distance (just left of
center). I've got a much larger version of it, but didn't want to
upload that to Flickr. Hope you enjoy it, such as it is:

Re: Perfect Effects Free Edition

[Brian Walters]

Quoting Darren Addy :


onOne Software is offering Perfect Effects Free Edition. Haven't tried
it yet, but the price is certainly right!
www.ononesoftware.com/products/perfect-effects-free/
Mac or Windows

Works as a standalone application or directly with Photoshop,
Photoshop Elements, Lightroom, or Aperture

Video Tutorials:
http://www.ononesoftware.com/university/#!/video/welcome-to-the-onone-university

Thought this might be of interest to some PDMLers.



I've had the previous version of 'Perfect Effects Free' for a year or  
so.  It's certainly useful for certain images and worth having.  I  
generally use it in association with a layer mask to apply an effect  
to only certain parts of an image.


I haven't installed version 3 yet.

I've been looking for an excuse to spend a day or two in Toronto which is,

calendar between now and early June (which is also why I am not going to 
Grandfather Mountain) but I will give serious consideration to a quick visit .

Hard to tell, i have not been able to smell things very well for a
number of years. My sister seems to think its  hyacinth as well. These
along with the small daffy bulbs and some others, came in a flower
arrangement from a friend when Erin had the horse land on her a few
years back. I kept the bulbs in the dirt they came in, in the garage
over winter, and planted them a few years ago around the property.
Some took, some did not.

I'm hoping to get "family photos" on our next visit to Sydney in a month or so.

Re: PESO: Oxford, NE Supercell panorama

[Darren Addy]

Yes indeed, Walt! Although I have to say that it didn't feel terribly
warm to us!  But it was screaming. You had to lean back into it just
to remain standing, at times. I was a little concerned that it was
going to blow my tripod (with video camera on it) completely over. The
outflow winds (cold exhaust from the storm) would be blowing in the
opposite direction and are far down behind the precipitation.

Nice capture.


I also think I used the wrong white balance.
As long as you don't use 'auto white balance' you can always get what you 
want in the RAW conversion. Auto white balance might give you a different 
white balance for each image in the pano series.

Re: Exhibit: Postmodern Pinups

[Igor Roshchin]

Bruce,

That looks like a great exhibit! I wish it was closer.

One of the communities whose interest overlaps with the vintage styles
is the swing dancers (Lindy Hop, Balboa, Charleston).
I've previously met a few swing dancers from Toronto, but don't know
them closely. So, I sent an e-mail to TSDS and a couple more groups -
as they would probably enjoy this exhibit. 

Have fun!

Igor

Given your explaination, it is probably a hyacinth, but a weak one.
Feed it for a few years and it will put row after row of blooms on that stalk.

I didn't touch it either. There was a statue in the Castle of a chap with
quite a large 'gentleman' made of bronze, which was very worn and shiny, but
I didn't touch that either. And there's a great statue in front of the Kafka
Museum of two chaps peeing at each other.

The Kafka Concierge one is a stunner Bob. I also like the Lenin shadow one.

When we went to Prague, everyone in our party kept on at me to take a
group shot on that bridge over the river near where it has the thing
you're supposed to touch to make sure you go back. I refused saying
"it's just a bloody bridge". Strangely, we've never been back to

regarding Hobbit Houses... My wife and I used to take walks near the

One day, we saw a realtor's For Sale sign in the front yard of one of

Re: PESO: Hobbit House, Red Gate

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Nice composition, and I love the vines.

Too bad there isn't something more interesting -- or mysterious --
beyond the gate.

Re: PESO: Hobbit House, Red Gate

[Darren Addy]

regarding Hobbit Houses... My wife and I used to take walks near the
small university here (University of Nebraska at Kearney) and there
were three houses side-by-side in one block that we just called the
"Hobbit Houses". (My wife is a Tolkien scholar who teaches English
part time at UNK, so she/we have more than a passing interest in all
things Middle Earth).
:)
One day, we saw a realtor's For Sale sign in the front yard of one of
them and that's All She Wrote. This interior shot is one of the first
images that I took with my first Pentax DSLR, the K200D:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/2758059249/in/photostream/lightbox/

(PESO within a PESO). I don't recall if I've shared it before, but the
light was lovely.

Re: Calling Darren Addy...

[Darren Addy]

Thanks for the comments Ann & Daniel.
Regarding stormchasing -
Yesterday I received my iPad 2 (didn't see the sense of popping for an
iPad 3 since we only have 3G in most of outstate Nebraska). I bought a
like new, open box and saved close to $300 over a refurbished unit. It
is a black 64GB Verizon 3G and I'm in love with it already. The first
app I *bought* for it was Radarscope, which (once I purchase the
Verizon data plan for it) will give me radar and my location relative
to the storm in the car. AWESOME GIZMOSITY.

Nice. Very nice.

The composition is lovely but what I really like is that light. Bud in
the dark, striving towards the light and warmth of spring and all
that.

Wonderful!
