Re: First PESO in a long while
Very often I would look into my Ricoh EVF and think to myself, if I could take the picture as I see it, along with the running ants of focus assist lights, that would look good. You totally nailed it for me, Mark! Wonderful photograph. On 5/5/2013 8:53 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: From a hike in February. We went half way up Mount Washington.

Exquisite shot Mark! If it were mine I'd get rid of the structure in the lower RH corner - I don't see it adding to the shot and since it's only a partial structure it makes it look like it was over looked in the composition stage.

But today, I was testing a new scanner and pulled out an old notebook of slide sleeves from pictures I took in Brasil almost 30 years ago and came across this picture of Rio de Janeiro. It's not a great picture and I just happened to be at this location at this time so I can't even claim much intent, but it warmed my heart for a few reasons: 1) For some reason, I didn't originally care enough for the picture to remember taking it. The slide was a little darker than this which is probably the reason. Now I get to rediscover it. 2) It revived a memory. 3) I took it with my first real camera, my Pentax K-1000. Since then I've owned a P-3N, ZX-5N, *ist-D, K-7 and a K-5. I still love that K-1000 most of all even though the K-5 is a much more practical tool for my needs and entertainment now. I still love to hear the shutter of the K-1000. It has such a satisfying mechanical combination of a click and a clunk. The K-1000 now sits, retired, on a shelf over my desk, in a collection of things that are special to me. I bought the camera with a bag, flash and a 50mm/1.8 lens in 1982 from a guy entering journalism school which required everyone to have a specific model of camera. 4) I was too poor for a tripod so I know I took the picture handheld.

Re: First PESO in a long while
I like this very much. It's soothing. We have a lot of the standard three-petal trillium in Michigan, it's our state flower and a protected species. But all that I've scene here, including quite a few in my yard, are pure white. This sample, which is obviously a close relative of trillium, is quite elegant.

There were plenty of other trillium around but this was the best opportunity for a good composition because of the ferns. 2 - Bloody 'ell, I *just* now noticed that this isn't a trillium - it's a quadrillium (a mutant with four petals and four leaves)!

First PESO in a long while
School has kept me too busy for a long while but it's time I put some new stuff on my web page so here's a shot from this past spring. Late sprint (May 20 to be precise) there was still -- barely -- enough snow on Mount Washington for some die hards to ski Tuckermen Ravine. They were rewarded with about 10 seconds and a couple of hundred yards of skiing in return for their several-hour hike.

And even with BW, good optical printing requires an extraordinary amount of patience and attention to detail. For all but true master printers, digital printing is probably a better option.

Re: Quick Self-Introduction and First PESO - Jackson
Welcome to the list. Good looking boy! Not bad photographically for an early effort. But it's oversaturated and perhaps slightly soft. The softness could either be caused by it being slightly out of focus or by motion blur that might occur if you used too slow a shutter speed. The saturation can be dialed down in photoshop. It might also be a wee bit too blue. Pics shot in shade usually need a bit of white balance correction toward the warm side. I might also have framed this as a vertical, but that's largely a matter of taste.

Think about this, if you drop a hammer on your foot what does it do, beside hurt. It falls down. I suggest that the needle of a compass, and the electromagnetic field if follows, is not pointing/flowing north, (or up, as the NH'ers would like everyone to believe). But it is in actuality pointing/flowing down. So down under is actually up over. The only reason that north is considered up is because they (the devious NH'ers) were the ones to be the first to name the hemispheres Earth's magnetic field. Knowing that that we're at the arse end of the planet, and refusing to concede the point. They just plain ignored the facts, and fooled the world into thinking that north was up. Unfortunately, the NH conspiracy has become so ingrained in the human psyche that the truth will never be accepted. You may laugh at me all you want, but after you've thought about it, and dismissed it, and then had a few drinks, and thought about it some more, it'll all start to make sense.

Re: Quick Self-Introduction and First PESO - Jackson
You caught a lot of character and wonder in his face. His focus on the lens (pardon the pun) is an encouraging sign for the future. ;) When it first came up I thought there was a little too much red in his skin. May be due to saturation to enhance his shirt.(?) In my opinion (of course) the pure skin of a baby allows sharp focus. If this soft look is your choice, certainly stay with it. If the grass were softened some I feel it might be even better.

Re: Quick Self-Introduction and First PESO - Jackson
Howdy to you too ;-). Middle East's on the line. On my screen there is just a slight purplish tint in the image. Could be it was hmmm imposed by baby's clothes. I noticed few times that this happens with digital capture - the strongly colored element of the frame influences the color balance of the whole picture. Otherwise it is really good. There is most definite feeling of eye contact between me the viewer and Jackson the baby ;-). Enjoy your ride with us, Seth, it's gonna be quite an experience.

Re: My First PESO (tm)
David, Consider this suggestion. Why wouldn't you make a regular shot of the same scene (or similar one) so that the trees would be solid black? Then you could compare the HDR variety with silhouette variety. Personally, I'd prefer the silhouette type of shot, but it would be my vision, not yours, so please accept my suggestion with a grain of salt.

Too large for a PESO. You should size it so that it can be viewed without scrolling. Technically, it's quite good in terms of rendering both shadow and highlight.
