PAW - Gebbies Pass
I was uploading another batch of photos and decided on a whim to make this one (which I uploaded last week) a PAW. http://www.bluemoon.net.nz/photo/printsdb/view.php?p=322t=1 This photo seems to be very dependent on the monitor and viewing conditions. The foreground is meant to be reasonably dark. I may as well show the accompanying view north towards Lyttelton Harbour, the shipping port of Christchurch city which they conveniently put on the other side of the hills. I remember reading somewhere that the settlers considered building the city around this harbour, but somebody sensible decided that building on the plain would be a better idea. http://www.bluemoon.net.nz/photo/printsdb/view.php?p=321 Lyttelton is actually a flooded volcano which is supposedly extinct... there's a good overhead view of the peninsula here which shows what's left of both the Lyttelton and Akaroa volcanoes. http://www.geographicguide.net/oceania/newzealand-image.htm (scroll down and right) Cheers, - Dave
Re: PAW - Gebbies Pass
Beautiful Dave you should get a job with the NZ Tourism Board. Every time I see your pictures it makes me wish I could get the time off work to go there for a holiday.

RE: PAW - Gebbies Pass
Hi David an interesting description and nice photos. I do prefer the harbour photo, It's blue looks more friendly for my mood today :-) And again, size matters here too.. greetings Markus -Original Message- From: David Mann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 11:18 AM To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: PAW - Gebbies Pass I was uploading another batch of photos and decided on a whim to make this one (which I uploaded last week) a PAW. http://www.bluemoon.net.nz/photo/printsdb/view.php?p=322t=1 This photo seems to be very dependent on the monitor and viewing conditions.

Re: PAW - Gebbies Pass
A pleasant photo, but certainly suffers from too much sky. The foreground seems as you desired it. -- Bruce Tuesday, March 21, 2006, 2:18:16 AM, you wrote: DM I was uploading another batch of photos and decided on a whim to make DM this one (which I uploaded last week) a PAW.

Re: PAW - Gebbies Pass
I agree that there's too much sky. But I love the New Zealand scenes. The harbor is quite nice as well. Thanks for the pics and the interesting info.

Re: PAW - Gebbies Pass
My first thoughts were that it might be better cropped more as a panorama. OTOH, what part would one do away with? If one halved the amount of sky, then the patches of clear blue on the left, that are above (and tend to complement) the brightest spots of sun on the left hillside would be lost. As I scroll/crop, I find the picture is less dynamic with less sky and goes flat without it. Of course it's personal preference. Tom C.

Re: PAW - Gebbies Pass
I think that is why I called it a 'pleasant' image rather than 'amazing' - it doesn't bowl you over, but it is nice to look at. You may be right that cropping hurts it, but there is still too much sky. -- Bruce Tuesday, March 21, 2006, 10:17:44 AM, you wrote: TC My first thoughts were that it might be better cropped more as a panorama.
