I shot about 4200 frames last weekend. For my facebook snapshot albums I winnowed them down to about 600 frames, trying to have decent coverage of all the events, and of as many dancers and all of the musicians. I narrowed that down to about 200 in sets on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157631567605816/ I'd like to narrow the "best of" set down a bit more, but having spent way too much time over the past week sorting, rating and processing, it's impossible for me to look at them objectively. > > Perhaps you should have used a flash though...

Re: GESO: San Francisco
Amita, That's an inspiring look at San Francisco. We've got to schedule a visit! And some of those shots are really nice, especially given your equipment handicap. :-) The back lit marina hillside needs more color/contrast/punch. Regards, Bob S.

Re: GESO: San Francisco
Amita, Very much enjoyed all your images. Nice collection. Did you attend "Fleet Week"? The pic you specifically ask to be critiqued does suffer slightly from back lighting. The sky is high marine layer typical, but does add to the lack of depth. Some expeditious additional contrast, followed by the likely need to knock down the glare in the water, MIGHT give the scene more presence.(?)

I think the backlit shot is fine, but you might want to take the mid-tone shadows down just a little bit and/or maybe use the Punch preset.

Re: GESO: San Francisco
Seeing as how I go in to SF every week and have spent many weekends there, you have done a great job of capturing it. It was very enjoyable viewing. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, November 2, 2008, 7:42:48 PM, you wrote: AG> Just put up the gallery from my San Francisco trip a month ago.

Thanks Marnie, Hadn't thought of that at all. Whoa, lots of pics. Too many to absorb. Off-hand, 29, 50, 55 look interesting. But that's very off-hand. Thanks for looking! It's a full 1G card's worth of RAW exposures. I find it useful to scan a contact sheet like this several times when studying my photos and looking for the winners. It pleasing to hear that your eye picked out several of the same ones I did as possibles. :-) Godfrey
