Good stuff. Love the first pic of the spectators, game and sunset. A nice bit of Americana. Paul On Jul 6, 2011, at 11:42 PM, John Sessoms wrote: Technically it's a blog post.

Re: GESO: Rockets Red Glare
Nice restraint on the amount of photos - liked reading the blog. Handsome fireworks, but I like the two of the baseball watchers Something appealing about that game in a smaller venue. Field of Dreamish. Enjoyed it ann On 7/6/2011 23:42, John Sessoms wrote: Technically it's a blog post. Whatever. http://twolanephotography.blogspot.com/ - No virus found in this message.

Re: GESO: Rockets Red Glare
John, Good post, I enjoyed looking and reading. The heart, rings, and bible are a nice idea - less light on the bible??? Regards, Bob S.

From: Bob Sullivan John, Good post, I enjoyed looking and reading. The heart, rings, and bible are a nice idea - less light on the bible??? Regards, Bob S. On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 10:42 PM, John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com wrote: Technically it's a blog post. Whatever. http://twolanephotography.blogspot.com/ Thank you to everyone who looked. Thank you to everyone who looked and commented. The idea for the heart and rings came from trying to read during a power outage. I noticed the patterns the flashlight made on the page. I'm not sure if less light on the Bible would work or not, but it's worth giving a try. Maybe the problem is the too dark surround. I don't know. I just know that what I've got so far is not working. I'm not getting an image that clicks with what is in my head, so I've decided to put the idea away for a while and let it ferment. I'm really pleased with the way the panorama turned out. Especially because it took so little work to assemble. I'm experimenting with shooting RAW+JPEG, and I was able to take the 4 JPEGs straight from the camera and just tell Adobe Bridge to do its thing. It did everything and all I had to do was flatten it, crop it and save it. It seems to be a workflow that might work for me as I move out into the real world and try to see if I can make any money from shooting weddings. I hope to have most everything done in the JPEGs, and keep the RAW for just in case I have an image that requires heavy duty tweaking. The fireworks are standard technique. Get a position and plant the tripod with the camera aimed where the fireworks are supposed to appear. Once you've confirmed you're on target just hold the shutter down while 2 or 3 bursts appear, release it and go on to the next set. As it turned out, I was aimed about 15 deg too far to the right had to rotate a bit to get the bursts framed. The silhouette of the grandstand is an unexpected bonus. Again, thanks to all for looking and for your comments. - No virus found in this message.
