Re: Pentax sighting

2015-07-08 Thread Darren Addy
Slate has run a couple of pieces on him
http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2013/05/14/jeffrey_milstein_flying_looks_at_airports_from_the_air_photos.html
http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2015/05/19/jeffrey_milstein_photographs_cruise_ships_in_his_series_cruise_ships.html

A couple of days ago in The Guardian:
http://www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2015/jul/08/new-york-from-the-air-jeffrey-milstein-in-pictures

Regarding equipment, he's clearly using a Pentax (my money is on the
645z) in the CBS story, but one of the links above references "80MP"
which would probably be a PhaseOne back. Another of the links mentions
that he uses a "variety of equipment" including stuff that does well
at high ISO for his low light work.

Re: PESO - Fries With That (Paris Cafe)

2015-07-08 Thread ann sanfedele
You have such a great eye... always like your stuff... but for me there 
is a bit _too much_ going on..
The expression on that woman's face with the one fry in her hand is the 
focal point for me, juxtaposed too with the few faces in front of her 
most closely.  If it had been mine I'd crop left and right and trimmed 
the OTF line across the top off to bring her in to more prominence...  
That's me being nit-picky, though :-)

I didn't bring a tripod so I took a bunch of photos and used Photoshops focus

Re: OT - help identifying this insect

That's odd looking - I am pretty sure it is a wasp - order hymenoptera 
(same order as ants and bees). It looks to me like its abdomen is 
missing and it bears the hind half of another individual's abdomen 
sticking into it's thorax via a stinger - was it thrashing about as if 
it was wounded? Maybe it lost a fight.

Glad to hear that you also approve of Puglia, Bob. I wish now that I’d planned

available from Lecce. One of tours is also a course in Italian. That would’ve

My knowledge of ancient history, apart from philosophy, is next to nil. Thanks

Excellent, Marco! The composition and rendering are lovely.

She must be American--don't the French eat their frites with a fork?

PESO - Alleyway in the Market

2015-07-08 Thread frank theriault
I got down to Toronto's Kensington Market on the weekend. I'd never
noticed this little alleyway before, with the row houses at the end.
No room for cars, just pedestrians, which is pretty cool to me:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/07/alleyway-in-market.html

Typically colourful Kensington.

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

cheers,

frank

Re: PESO - Sir Arrol's Crane

2015-07-08 Thread Rick Womer
Thanks Knarf, Christine, and Dan.

Alan, thanks for the link. We really didn't care much for either the Tate 
Modern or its collection--and I thought the Bankside Power Station was rather 
ugly when it was a power station, too.

Somehow I felt compelled to make some attractive photos, though, so that the 
trip wouldn't be wasted.

Cheers,

Rick

No - it wasn't too late.  My wife and I went out to take a look but,
sadly, the conjunction was just a bit too far north and our view was
totally obscured by trees.  The sky was also still pretty light so I'm
not sure how good the view would have been anyway.

I've only been to Italy twice, but without a doubt Puglia is top one or two 
places there that I'd like to see, along with Abruzzi and Marche, which an 
Italian friend tells me is the most beautiful countryside she's ever seen. 
She's from Venice, so anything that's not damp is probably unusual to her.

I'd rather like to see the site of the battle of Cannae, which is in Puglia.

I call these White hat, or What I did during my Facebook timeout.

So somebody on Facebook reported my most recent Dorrie image, the
Facebook umpires agreed and I was booted for 24 hours. During that
time I had two shoots with Dorrie: first a studio shoot, and then an
ambient light shoot in a newly renovated suburban house.

Here are two sneak peek images from the 2nd shoot. I'm hoping now to
get a longer boot from Facebook since the last one went so well for
me. wink emoticon

Peso-Dawn's Jewels

2015-07-08 Thread Jack Davis


Seems to be a current theme. Offering my menial effort from awhile back.
Wish I could identify this very small blossom. Size of the dew drops may
give you an idea of the size.
Early AM several years ago, as I was backing out of the garage, I noticed
a few dew laden back lit blossoms sparkling along the edge of the driveway.
Gave the image it's title at that time.
Ideally, I'd like a somewhat cleaner background, but I tend to feel it befits 
the image. 

C&C?

GESO mini ~ White hat

2015-07-08 Thread Bruce Walker
I call these White hat, or What I did during my Facebook timeout.

So somebody on Facebook reported my most recent Dorrie image, the
Facebook umpires agreed and I was booted for 24 hours. During that
time I had two shoots with Dorrie: first a studio shoot, and then an
ambient light shoot in a newly renovated suburban house.

Here are two sneak peek images from the 2nd shoot. I'm hoping now to
get a longer boot from Facebook since the last one went so well for
me. wink emoticon

Swimming does not come naturally to Northern Breeds.


Have you read "The Cruelest Miles" about the dog sled relay that
brought the serum to Nome?  It is an incredible story, especially for
anyone who loves sled dogs.  There is an incredible story there about
how TOGO save Seppala and the serum when the ice flow split and they
were separated.  I highly recommend the book:

Lots of fun!  Nicely layered facial expressions and activity in the frame.  The 
right side is wonderfully just right with head position etc.  The right side a 
little less so, but it’s still a great frame.  Nice BW rendering to my eye as 
well.

Re: aguila web site check

2015-07-08 Thread Christine Aguila
Thanks, Dave, Chris, & Jostein!  Much appreciated!


The godaddy web builder software has a preview for both desktop and mobile 
device to use before publishing, which is pretty cool, since so many folks are 
consuming information on mobile devices.  I did do a bit of tweaking to the 
layout to improve how information viewed on mobile devices—but nothing major.  
It converts pretty darn well.

Also, godadddy’s support is 24/7 and pretty awesome.  Folks are really, really 
nice.  Coincidently, I called yesterday to confirm that my photos were 
downloading slow because the files were too big.  Once that was confirmed I 
made a lot smaller file sizes, then republished, then posted the link to PDML.  
 The first person I spoke to said she attended Truman College for a time years 
back and still lives in neighborhood.  Amazing. 

Cheers, Christine

The heel of the boot, Puglia. The English members of my family speak highly of 
it. A friend with long experience in the travel industry here turned up his 
nose and said, “Puglia??,” when I told him where I was going. Another friend, a 
well-traveled former Coca-Cola exec, says I’ll love it. A bit out of the way, I 
gather, but I suspect that for that reason, and perhaps others, I will find the 
second friend is right.
