PESO: The Specimen

2018-03-20 Thread David Mann

I took my daughter to the museum today.  In the kids' discovery area they have 
a big display of specimen jars containing all sorts of interesting things.  One 
in particular caught my eye...

Stupid Flickr Question

Can I make my photostream private so no one can see it, but still have albums of 
photos that I make "public"?


Flickr's help pages are kind of opaque & I haven't figured it out yet. The 
problem with the photostream is it has only ONE way to sort photos, in the 
date/time order you upload them.


I think the albums allow you to order the photos any way you want to.

Re: PESO - Bluebells - state flowers

Re: D-FA 50mm f/1.4 - Good News

2018-03-20 Thread P. J. Alling

Like every other new 50mm lens it will be super corrected. Compare the 
size of a current Zeiss, Canon, Nikon, etc., 50mm f1.4 in size and 
number of elements and groups and you'll find that they are all about 
twice the size, the weight, and quadruple the cost, to eliminate all 
optical defects possible in search of ultimate sharpness from wide open 
to the smallest diffraction limited aperture.  I should write copy for 
these people but I couldn't do it with a straight face.

Re: What makes a photo work in color or black and white

Not much my taste either, but it's an image that just doesn't work in B,

Color works where it's an integral part of the image. How are you going to
shoot a Saint Paddy's Day parade in B?

PESO - Bluebells - state flowers

2018-03-20 Thread Igor PDML-StR




Both Saturday night and (especially) Sunday night, we had violent thunder 
and lightning, with gusty winds and several (3-4) periods of hail in
our area. Nickel- and quarter-sized hail caused multi-thousand-dollar 
damages.

(Actually, in some cases, the hail was up to a golf-ball in size.)

But on Saturday, many people rushed to take photos in the patches of 
bluebells, - the state flower of Texas.


All comments are welcome:
http://42graphy.org/misc/Bluebells_IR45167.jpg

Also, one specific question: does this photo appear at the right 
brightness on your screen?


Thanks,

Igor
