PAW PESO - DS Test Shot 3: Remains of the Lunch

This was taken in the shade of an orange umbrella on a bright, sunny day. I wanted to see how John's FAJ 18~35 might perform close up, and to also have an image that I could fiddle with in ACR to see if I could remove the color tint. Nothing special here, but I thought I'd post it anyway and maybe

I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you over an E. If its use bothers you so much may I suggest you read "A Void" by Georges Perec, the original French title is "La Disparition" There is not a single E in the novel - that's right: no here, there, where, when; no yes, no love, no sex.

Re: Back from Ukraine

Hi! I just got back today, as you may have guessed from the few replies I already posted :) With only one camera and 2/35mm lens, and lotsa film, so if I have any interesting photographs (I hope ) you will see some eventually. Overall, it was a great trip, and once you learn a bit Ukrainian an

RE: DS Test Shots 1 & 2

Amazing difference. I always shoot RAW, which gives me the oportunity to correct the exposure (to some extebd) later - without any quality loss. Only DON'T overexpose - it's irreversable. 255 white is WHITE. No detail - at all! I tend to set the camera to -0,3 as a rule. Jens Bladt Arkitekt MAA htt

It's 6x6, and cost me the equicalent of 20$ used. If you are in Europe, look around for them, they are cheap in the east. And quite
