Re: Boris PESO #06 - Haifa Bay
As always, I don't have time or patience to wait out. The big ship was getting ready for being pulled by smaller (actually quite tiny) tugboats, as it was going in for landing:-). I entirely admit that I was fascinated by the contrast of the weather and human activity, and of course the light and the city. This is the location that I very often go to when I chance to be in Haifa. Certainly, if you were to come, I'd take you there too.

Prices 12 years ago...
My 1st SLR was the iconic Pentax K1000 SE + SMC M 50mm f2 Lens, circa 1978 (38 years ago) for $ 258 with case and a free Pentax SMC UV Filter. I bought it from Oldens of New York. The SE had a prism micro collar with the split image center focus for fine focusing - Made in Japan. I remember that cold snowy winter night as I took the underground from New York to Jackson Heights - my precious K1000 tucked deep inside my Snow Parka so that I would not get mugged. I got some of the most awesome well exposed shots - at least 29 keepers from a 36 +1 film cassette - the +1 extra shot came from the careful spooling of the paper lead - sometimes even +2 bonus shots. Honestly I do not get so many keepers from today's Pentax DSLRs. And the German Braun flash gave me 90% keepers - simple auto Thyristor. You set the aperture on the camera as read off from the ISO & distance scale on the flash. All you had to do now was to keep firing away as you moved in or out from your subject. The flash's auto eye would control the flash duration for those perfect shots. What PTTL or ETTL ??

Lightroom was pretty much the first commercial software that I would openly recommend based on it's price, performance, quality, features and ubiquity. Every version through LR 5 was noticeably better than the last with significant "must have" new features. LR 6 added two features (HDR and panorama merging) that could be really, really nice, with some simple modifications (like being able to choose which regions of which frame are used in the final image. Lightroom 6 also added a tremendous amount of suck, from stupid mistakes like having to re-enter the target directory every time you export to the hard drive to their rigid enforcement of it only running on two machines at once, and their making it rather challenging to buy and install the standalone (non-CC) version. There are a lot of things that I like about the way they manage the library, and it would be a pain in the ass to separate my photo catalog between two different image processing systems, but unless LR7 has a metric shitload less suck as standard features than LR6, I'll be looking for a non-adobe photo editor.

Makeup and hair by Judi Willrich. Set design, lighting, photos and retouch by me. Comments welcome, of course. Lovely model, great concept. I'm afraid to say that I think that the shadows might have one this round. A lot of the shadows are a bit too hard edged for my taste. The one on the wall behind her when she's standing, in particular. http://41.media.tumblr.com/d0fe27a5a86a32e02be579ea4a80ea77/tumblr_o2m9gs90O01rdwvm9o2_1280.jpg In a couple others, the ones on her neck and/or shoulder. Mind you, I'm not saying that I could do better, but I find as a theme those shadows distract my attention from other, more pleasing aspects of the photos. In general, they are the shadows from the light on camera left, fairly high I nearly really like the one with her back to the camera: http://41.media.tumblr.com/318fa3967584e9f2dbf8e7f3021e77e3/tumblr_o2m9gs90O01rdwvm9o3_1280.jpg but the light seems to flatten out her figure rather than define her lovely curves.

Re: Boris PESO #06 - Haifa Bay
Larry, this is quite interesting what you say... 1. I deliberately did not max out the contrast, so at to keep all (both dark and bright) areas of the frame within limits and to prevent saturation. According to my LightRoom, I have minimal dark saturation (bottom left) and no bright saturation whatsoever... 2. I see your point about different crop. I was really attracted by the bright clouds just on to of the towns across the bay and I thought that although the top half and bottom half of the frame could be considered as separate pictures, they kind of play together. Again, not arguing, merely trying to *voice* my reasoning.

Re: Saul Leiter Exhibition and Annsan
Very nice shot of Bob ... as to Leiter photos and moi, well certainlywe both like to shoot people carrying umbrellas in the snowin the east village section of New Yorkand I"m glad I'm in good company.
