Re: PESO: Episcopal Church (across the street from the bar)
Thanks, Larry! That reminds me of the old saw about the difference between Baptists and Catholics: Catholics will say hi to you at the liquor store. :-) And yes, that would be a great place to try a little layering of bracketed exposures. I was strolling down the sidewalk with friends when I took this one, and didn't want to hold everyone else up, so I just turned on the camera, popped it into landscape and fired. The sky just happened to be a really beautiful shade of blue that day. One of these days, I really do need to get back downtown and shoot some of the older buildings before they get turned to dust in an earthquake -- and it won't take much of one to do it. -- Walt On 3/20/2011 5:45 AM, Larry Colen wrote: On Mar 18, 2011, at 1:29 PM, frank theriault wrote: On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 4:19 PM, Walter Gilbertldott...@gmail.com wrote: A shot I took on the way into the bar I went to yesterday for St. Pat's to have a Guinness or two.

RE: PESO: Episcopal Church (across the street from the bar)
Walt, Well for the most part it has come along pretty good. Just across the way though the houses that were along Richland Creek are waiting to be bought and I am guessing torn down. It really was surreal watching the news and seeing the stretch of I-24 around Bell Rd. exit completely under water. I drive back and forth that direction when I head to work in Antioch. I drove to work that Monday morning and it was surreal again seeing all that debris and what not that the flood waters carried along. A car sat upside down on the banks of the creek for a long time until water subsided long enough I suppose for them to get a tow truck to be able to move the car.

Re: PESO: Episcopal Church (across the street from the bar)
Glad to hear y'all are making steady (if slow in some areas) progress. I do love Nashville, having had some of the best times of my youth down there. I guess at this point, you just have to take solace in the fact that you witnessed history firsthand, and that it probably won't happen again in your lifetime. -- Walt On 3/19/2011 9:42 AM, Jeffery Johnson wrote: Walt, Well for the most part it has come along pretty good.

Re: PESO: Episcopal Church (across the street from the bar)
Thanks again, Frank! There are some lovely old buildings in the downtown area. One of the more beautiful ones is an old bank building that now houses a law firm. It's a stately, dignified old structure with granite columns where my granddad once ran a concessions stand in the lobby. Unfortunately, it's kind of tough to get a good shot of it because of where it's situated, and the newer buildings that have gone up next to it since I was a kid. I'll have to get out there one night and see if I can do some creative composition, though. -- Walt On 3/18/2011 3:29 PM, frank theriault wrote: On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 4:19 PM, Walter Gilbertldott...@gmail.com wrote: A shot I took on the way into the bar I went to yesterday for St. Pat's to have a Guinness or two.

Re: PESO: Episcopal Church (across the street from the bar)
Oh! I forgot about Landscape mode! As best I can tell, it stops down the aperture for more depth of field and sensitivity for longer exposure. But that's purely conjecture on my part based on the EXIF data. -- Walt On 3/18/2011 3:29 PM, frank theriault wrote: On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 4:19 PM, Walter Gilbertldott...@gmail.com wrote: A shot I took on the way into the bar I went to yesterday for St. Pat's to have a Guinness or two.
