Re: OT Speaking of racing cheats...
That's some very clever out of the box thinking. I knew about the McLaren F-duct which was leading to DRS used today by all teams. I'm not so familiar with the regulations to say if it was cheating or not, but I admire the engineers who came up with the idea.

Re: PESO: Cute
Wonderful shot, Jack! Some birds are stunning in their beauty; this one is not. I'm sure it is identified somewhere along this thread but I'm guessing a vulture of some sort? Maybe a turkey vulture? Here's my ugly bird (posted earlier this year): http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/07/juvenile-grackle.html?m=1 Yours is uglier. LOL! I am undecided about the very oof foliage at the right of the frame. Would a slight crop to eliminate it ruin the balance of the photo? Could you (dare I suggest) clone it out? Otoh is it that much of a distraction? I just don't know. Either way a terrific photo!

Re: SV: PESO - Monarch Cluster
They are amazing. And when they are feeding during their migration they will let one get quite close. I guess they are so intent on refueling they need to eat at all costs. In my three and a half years here in New Toronto I've only experienced the full migration once; I've missed it other years. They don't move at the same time every year.

PESO: Growing Forest reloaded
Here is the original for reference: http://500px.com/photo/52192954 There are noticeable jpeg artifacts around the edges of the clouds caused by recompression after I upload the image. AFAIK all sites do this and it rarely causes problems. After some research and experimenting I found a way to get rid of those ugly artifacts: 1.) Switch to Lab color mode. 2.) Make a selection around the areas with fine detail which will cause problems after uploading. 3.) Select the a and b channels and apply blur. (I used Gaussian Blur, but others might work as well). The radius applied was a trial and error process and I re-uploaded the photo many times. Since 500px doesn't allow re-uploading, I used 1x. Here is the new version: http://1x.com/photo/371588/ I found that by blurring only the color components and not the lightness channel I can retain detail and it helps to keep the recompression process from messing up the image. P.S. I'm now testing 1x.com so if you find any annoying behavior like nag screens, popups, slow loading, etc. please let me know. -- Attila -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

All I was trying to say that this photograph was very reminiscent (at least for me) of the scenes from that movie. My apologies Boris, I didn't mean to reply to your reply but to the original post. Sorry for the misunderstanding. As for Blade Runner, you are right and it's one of my favorite movies:) -- Attila -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO: Terry
Sir William, don't you have a more decent 135 mm lens, say a prime or exceptionally good optically 50-135/2.8? I can see just a bit of doubt in the eyes of Mr Terry here :-).

Re: PESO: Growing Forest reloaded
Attila, I'm gettin' Photo not found message. On 11/17/2013 3:16 AM, Attila Boros wrote: Here is the original for reference: http://500px.com/photo/52192954 There are noticeable jpeg artifacts around the edges of the clouds caused by recompression after I upload the image. AFAIK all sites do this and it rarely causes problems. After some research and experimenting I found a way to get rid of those ugly artifacts: 1.) Switch to Lab color mode. 2.) Make a selection around the areas with fine detail which will cause problems after uploading. 3.) Select the a and b channels and apply blur. (I used Gaussian Blur, but others might work as well). The radius applied was a trial and error process and I re-uploaded the photo many times. Since 500px doesn't allow re-uploading, I used 1x. Here is the new version: http://1x.com/photo/371588/ I found that by blurring only the color components and not the lightness channel I can retain detail and it helps to keep the recompression process from messing up the image. P.S. I'm now testing 1x.com so if you find any annoying behavior like nag screens, popups, slow loading, etc. please let me know. -- Attila -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO - Umbrella for Two
I really like this photograph, Frank. It conveys a sense of quiet, relaxed, unstressed contemplation... It is probably because I'm having rather nervous stressed days as of late, and a thought of a sound of rain and view such as this makes me think of relaxation.

Re: PESO - French Pressed
I start mine with a cup of tea, though... Can it be that the left part of the cup is blown out?

Re: PESO - Bubbly Hot
A hymn to FPS, eh? :-) Well done as always... In fact, you make me realize that I'm running out of words of praise...
