Well, I told you guys yesterday that I wouldn't be online today, but
clearly I lied. I only mention this as a preface to explaining that
I'm not on my home computer (hence no PESOs), rather on a public
computer at a library. That is relevent insofar as the screen is
likely not calibrated.
Which leads into the fact that on this public computer, your photo is
extremely dark. None of the other PESOs I've looked at (including my
night-time streetcar shot) are nearly this dark, so even though the
screen's not calibrated, I think the darkness is in your photo, not my
screen.
I think there's a really good photo in there, but I simply can't see
it. The two people on the right are virtually indistiguishable!
Levels! Curves! I need brightness!
;-)
cheers,
frank
How Ironic, you're constantly taking photos in the dark... :-)
You are right, the monitor I'm using right now is getting tired, and it
is no longer as bright as it used ot be. (I've been very lazy and have
to swap it out for the good one), and this is very dark. To actually
see what was happening in this photo I had to save a copy of this image
to my system and use irfanview to kick the Gamma up a couple of
notches. I had thought it was just me so I didn't comment on it.

Re: PESO - Pair of Mittens
Hi! Ok, so it is not really a matched pair, but the same mitten twice. These were both taken near the same time. I'm trying to decide which I like better. It would be nice to get opinions on what you like, if any. http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0318.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0321.htm Kind of strange. You see, I've read the comments (this time at least) before posting mine. I never was there and to me the first shot actually looks interesting. The second one is more classic of course - the vertical close-far composition. I guess the shadow does distract, so with great reluctance I'd vote for second one... Boris

The first has too much going on, distracting, a snap to record you being there.

Re: PESO - Pair of Mittens
They are both wonderful photographs. I have been there, and know that shooting monumnt valley if much more difficult that it might at first appear. Of the two, I prefer the second, #321. The foreground in both the upper right and lower left adds interest and texture, and the sky is wonderful, and dominates the scene, as it does in real life. The first shots is also very effective, however, and better conveys the feel of the valley, with it numerous "monuments."

Exercise! Sheesh, carry a bigger lens and a tripod, move to a Canon cannon, and you'll get plenty of exercise I gotta say Bruce, whether or not I like any given image, you've sure got a good eye for spotting some scenes that would easily be overlooked by many, if not most, people. You can worry this particular photo all you want - burn down a highlight, fiddle with cropping, intensity, saturation it doesn't matter. It's just a great photo, in part because of its simplicity.

Re: PESO - Pair
Thanks for the comment Jim. Seeing as I was out for an walk to exercise - I wasn't going to be carrying a tripod. It would have been nice, but...them's the breaks. -- Bruce Thursday, March 24, 2005, 1:53:43 PM, you wrote: JH> Bruce: JH> I would have liked to have seen more blossom and less stem, but it's JH> nevertheless a fine shot of the flowers.

Re: PESO - Pair
Thanks Joe. That highlight is another blossom, I think. Cloning it out or toning down is probably worth attempting. Thanks for the suggestion. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, March 22, 2005, 8:43:40 PM, you wrote: JT> Bruce, this is stunning.

Bruce, this is stunning. I think I might have tried cloning some green into the highlight at the bottom right. Joe

Very nice, good rendition, good exposure, just enough depth of field. Very nice. Bruce Dayton wrote: This was taken of small wildflowers that are now blooming in the fields.

Re: PESO - Pair
Thanks, Bob. I agree with you, the stems do make this rather unusual.

Re: PESO - Pair
Very, very nice, Bruce. The way the stems cross each other makes me imagine the flowers are dancing. My wildflower shots have been disappointing--I can't seem to get that wonderful defocused background--not to mention such a nice arrangement of the subject!
