PESO - Three

I like that one can see (for instance) the fact that White Feather is sitting in her walker, and one can see a scratch on Earl's nose a bit better in this one. Not that I want his nose to be scratched, but it's what was there that day.

I prefer Three by a long way - the composition is better, it's clearer, the people look less like caricatures - there's more dignity about it. In Six it looks as though he's gurning.

Re: PESO - Three
Frank, I think the new one is a better portrait for the expression on his face. It is much more natural this way. So why 3? Regards, Bob S.

PESO - Three Tracks
Also shot at the Duck Club. This is what you see looking the other direction when no train is there -- the "moth ball fleet." Ships, believe it or not, left over from WWII. They were parked there and left to rot. Used to be a lot more when I was a kid (rows and rows). Over time they were taken apart for the metal and started to disappear. Then about 10 years ago concerns were raised about all the rust and that demolishing them was polluting the water even more than just letting them sit. So they stopped. However, recently they got approval to start taking them apart again. Evidentially they came up with new and better ways to do it and it was approved. So they are disappearing again, and I suppose, one day may no longer be there. Well, all that is just back story. - I am unsure of which of these two I like best. http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/tracks.htm Or http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/tracksb.htm If either one works for you more than the other, I'd like to know.

I decided to drag my Vivitar solid cat out for some big bird shots. Unfortunately the big birds weren't cooperating.

In those exposures they were totally blown out, (got to work on exposure compensation some more),.

PESO Three Amigos
Had a really fun practice shoot this past Sunday evening with my wife and our artist friends, very informal and arranged so I could get some air time with location lighting gear. I'm newly enabled with a Westcott Apollo Medium (28") softbox, picked up Saturday, and I can now heartily endorse that kit after two two-hour shoots and various playing about in my office studio. It folds and mounts like an umbrella, is very light weight, and is an amazingly efficient light source. It does act like a sail though and very nearly blew over despite a 20 or 30 pound weight on its stand. I need to refine my sandbagging technique. I concentrated on individual portraiture with varying mixes of ambient light, but I also did a few quick (meaning not well posed) group shots just to see how that'd work. This one really grabbed me ... http://flic.kr/p/f1KeGj K20D, DA* 16-50mm/2.8, F5.6, 1/160th, ISO 400. AF540FGZ on wireless trigger in Apollo 28" softbox; gelled with Rosco #02: Bastard Straw.

RE: PESO: Three Ladies
Hi Paul, I like this shot, even though it's somewhat of an awkward pose. It looks very real and homey, if you know what I mean. The pic looks a bit flat here. Try duplicating the layer, set the duped layer to luminosity, use USM set amount to 15%, radius to 250, and threshold to 0, and see if the slight boost in contrast looks a little better to you.

PESO: Three NorCal Shots
From the NorCal PDML meet on Oct 8th: http://www.neovenator.com/special/marnie.html From our lunch at Max's, Marnie shooting Godfrey. http://www.neovenator.com/special/drummer.html Others have posted their own shots of this guy. It might be interesting to see everyone's interpretations together in one gallery. I wish I'd shot more of him. http://www.neovenator.com/special/ally.html Someone else posted a shot of this ally. This is my interpretation. Oddly enough, these photos are from my 6x7. I've got tons of digital stuff, but haven't really bothered to mess with them yet.

Re: PESO - Three Pines
Well, without the trees, the sky would be way overpowering. It might have been nicer to have fewer trees, as this feels much more minimalist. But the choice between no trees or these trees, I would go with the trees. I agree with Ken, that the sky is still pretty strong. Cropping it down a bit might help.

RE: PESO - Three Pines
Thanks for all of the comments on this - much appreciated. Some specific replies.. Bob W said: "Bit of a Michael Busselle in Tuscany influence going on there." Thanks - I have a couple of Busselle's books. I like his work. Ken, Frank, Christine and Bruce suggested that the sky be cropped - about half of the sky above the tallest tree. I hadn't considered that. It does seem to improve the composition without losing any of the slanting clouds. Thanks for the suggestion. Subash, Ann, Bruce, Marnie and Dave commented on my statement that I wasn't sure "if the Norfolk Island Pines add to or detract from the composition" and indicated that the trees added to the composition of the image. I didn't express myself very well. I should have said "the arrangement of the Norfolk Island Pines" I didn't mean to suggest that the image would be better without them. I was just wondering whether a different shooting position, that made the left hand pine less central in the image and clumped the three trees closer together, would have resulted in a better composition. Rick suggested (and Marnie and Luiz agreed) that the left-hand distant clump of trees be brightened a bit, "so that it looks less like a giant cow patty" Hmmm - that would be one very large cow Point accepted, however!

PESO - Three White Boomers
G'day all I don't think any Australian on the list will miss the Christmas reference in the title of this PESO (although 'six' is the usual number). http://www.blognow.com.au/PESO/189795/Three_White_Boomers.html For those who don't get the reference, maybe this will help (Warning!

The bare trees, old gate posts and low winter light contribute to this starkness, I suppose, as do the hills in the distance, but your composition is what makes this. It just has this feel to it that "civilization was here once, but now it's gone".

Excellent shot! The lighting is wonderful, and the irregularity of the trees breaks up the symmetry of the composition nicely.

Brave beasts. I had my first ever Thanskgiving today, went out for dinner with an American friend and a few others.
