Re: PESO - One week in Israel
Hi Peter, I think you're right that the orange rind on the sun is not real. Have never seen it with the naked eye myself either. It is there in the raw file as well, and I think this is a consequence of the brutal contrast between the sun disk and the clouds. I'm not sure what the correct term for this is, but "blooming" and "bleeding" springs to mind. I've seen the same effect in other high-contrast scenes, such as landscape contours against a bright sky. The bright areas seems to bleed into the shadows and create a transition zone of a different and often conspicuous colour. hth, Jostein - Original Message - From: "Peter Lacus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:28 AM Subject: Re: PESO - One week in Israel Jostein, http://www.oksne.net/paw/israel/index.html thank you for sharing your memories. Very nice pictures and the story as well. I'd like to ask you one thing - on the last picture (my favorite one) there is a visible line around the sun, which I can't remember I've ever seen - it's real or it's a consequence of used technique (e.g. sharpening, camera sensor)? Bedo.

Re: PESO - One week in Israel
Thanks Dave, one other thing that really surprised me about the light down there was that the light after sunset doesn't have the clear deep blueness we get up here. The transition to black night was through more grittish (if that's a real word...) colours.

How about applying cellophane (clear plastic film) to the window, and then applying colour to that? In fact, it can be painted before applying to the window, perhaps on your light box ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _
Re: PESO - One week in Israel
Thanks, Bob. There is arabic writing in the green part of the glass, so my guess too, is that it dates from the Byzantine period. The Crusades may be a bit early, but it's certainly possible. I'm sure there's some hard facts to be found about it somewhere on the web too, but tonight I'm too lazy to look it up...:-) One idea for Elin (my daughter) could be to decorate her own window with washable colours for Easter. I will have to obtain a permission from the Ministry of Domestic Affairs first, though. I'd hate to wash and iron the curtains if it goes haywire. Jostein - Original Message - From: "Bob W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.oksne.net/paw/israel/index.html Very interesting. I particularly like the way you continue the line of Roman columns with the industrial chimneys - nicely spotted. Your daughter deserves her painted glass windows. Our old houses here are full of them, but it is quite easy to learn. The arch of that window may be due to the Crusaders. But the idea of pointed arches was around in the Islamic world before it came into European Gothic. So perhaps it was originally an Islamic building, as it looks to be now. It is certainly not Roman. -- Cheers, Bob
