Re: Help me choosing the crop (PESO: Santa Monica Beach)

(sorry for a late response. I just realized that I never sent this message.) Thank you, all who responded (on and off the list) and who looked. I appreciate suggestions on improvement. As for the crop, the score is 3:4. I had the same main reasons for each of the crops: on one hand that little

RAW vs JPEG - The truth is out

Can someone please serve me some pie? Reading through the couple of recent threads on pixels and jpegs vs RAW spurred me on to do another test (I hate tests because it means work). When I got a DSLR a few years ago I did a test where I shot some books on a shelf in both RAW and large fine jpeg an

Neat Image or Noise Ninja

Don, Noise Ninja produces custom profiles for different cameras, at different ISO levels, which I though sensible. I don't know how it compares to most others, except that it does soften less than Digital GEM. I don't know how long it will take the Noise Ninja producers to come out with a profi

A PESO I Like

Bruce, I probably didn't need to use Noise Ninja. But this is at Actual Pixels, so using it did reduce some noise, which would have been exacerbated when sharpening. I will experiment with sharpening it a bit more. Thanks for the comment. Joe - Wow, looks like something I would expect to

RE: Your Favorite Zoom Lens

You already know about my favourite, which was the M 24-35/3.5 that somebody stole 6 years ago. By coincidence, I was in a photo shop today where they had one for sale at a very low price, so I bought it. Now I have 2 Pentax lenses and 1 Pentax camera. -- Cheers, Bob > -Original Message

Re: PESO - My Lonely Ass Redux

The results are interesting. I'd like to see them done a little more subtly, or pushed to a totally graphic rendering. One great thing about photographs is that we can render them in any number of ways... ;-) Godfrey On Jun 15, 2006, at 5:31 PM, Tom C wrote: > My Lonely Ass in Hell > http:/

A friend of mine is currently hanging an entire show of reflection photos like this. They can be quite wonderful, or very cliché ... I like this one. :-) Godfrey On Jun 17, 2006, at 7:49 AM, Jens Bladt wrote: > So what do you guys think of stuff like this: > http://flickr.com/photos/bladt/168
