Re: PESO: Soup Singh
thank you Stan. i get where you are coming from but i think the concern for his mules is a little misplaced. for one thing, they wouldn't have to carry load on their way back and secondly, i think (i have to be careful how i word my thoughts here) he has a more realistic relationship (and much more emotional than i would be capable for instance) with them. he wouldn't do anything that would bring them harm.

Bluejays are very shy by the way, I think David Brooks figured out that they lose that shyness if you properly bribe them...

I pulled the trigger and added 3.25 stops of exposure in post, making it approximately ISO 2200. Some contrast and saturation adjustment and then a levels correction, and we were in business.

GESO - Beyond Wonderland Festival - GDG
Last Friday, went to San Bernardino to hear and dance to electronica dance music, inspired by recordings by Deadmau5 that my brother had turned me on to. I didn't realize when I decided to do this that it was a full festival and rave … And —Oh My Gosh!— It was so much fun! https://flic.kr/s/aHskTi5ARh I think I was the oldest person dancing there. All the young folks were great, the music was great: A tremendous time and a fantastic party! A couple of the folks I talked with, after we danced a session and laughed a lot, dubbed me "The Eldest Raver." And invited me to come to the next rave… I like that title. I think I'll go. ]'-) The Eldest Raver — No matter where you go, dance like nobody's watching. -- 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.
