Re: Rain Picture
Hi Frank, I suppose, in great part, that's what photography is all about. Like radio, it allows you to put yourself into the scene, into the picture as it were. There was a series of books many years ago called the Foxfire Books. In one volume a young woman was interviewing a woman in her eighties, and asked if she missed not having a television. The older woman replied that she didn't need a television, she had a fireplace. Perhaps a photo is something like a fireplace ... shel frank theriault wrote: I imagine that she'd be great to great to sit down and have coffee or tea with; she'd have some great life stories to tell.

Re: Rain Picture
I can sit for hours in front of a fireplace or (even better) a campfire. Great analogy, that. cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.

RE: Rain Picture
I haven't had much chance to look at PDML over the last few days, so this one sat unopened in my in box. I got a nice surprise when I opened it. Thanks, Shel. Lovely shot. I love the expression on her face. Who knows what reality is, but she seems to have a look of wisdom about her. I imagine that she'd be great to great to sit down and have coffee or tea with; she'd have some great life stories to tell.

RE: Rain Picture
Hi, Rob, I wasn't talking about the look on her face, which is indeed as you described it. I saw a look quite independant of her facial expression. Maybe it's the wrinkles; maybe they just make her look old, and that makes me think she's perhaps had a hard life, and many experiences that would be completely foreign to me. Like I said, just a feeling... cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.

RE: Rain Picture
Very nice! Great exposure, sharp as a tack, color looks great, too. My monitor is calibrated.

Re: Rain Picture
Nice shot, Shel. I like the framing and compositionh. Was it actually raining or had it stopped? Did you ask permission? She seems to be quite aware of you.

Re: Rain Picture
Hi Paul ... I think it was drizzling a bit, but the heavy rain had stopped for a while. No permission ... sometimes y'just gotta grab the shot. I got of three shots with the Sony, one of her pulling the paper from the box, and one when she was much closer to me. This was the best of the three. I did a bit of cropping as there was no time to crop in the camera. Mostly I just trimmed some of the space around the newspaper boxes and a little off the top. BTW, thanks for the car photo tips.
