Re: PESO: Not Quite Sprung

Thanks Bruce. I crawled around a bit until I found the spot:-). I'm very pleased, as always, with the bokeh of the Vivitar S! 90/2.5. In my opinion, it has earned its classic reputation. Paul On Mar 21, 2007, at 6:25 PM, Bruce Dayton wrote: > Nice work. I like how the flower is repeated out o

Nice work. I like how the flower is repeated out of focus behind it. -- Bruce Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 2:18:23 PM, you wrote: PS> Today is the first day of spring, so I went looking for snowdrops. PS> The blooms are still one warm day away, but they're pretty PS> nonetheless. K10D with th

RE: PESO - Windmills of the Mind

I wasn't interested or trying to photograph a nice landscape. I wanted to catch the flavor of the corporation yard and document what was there in as pleasant a manner as possible. There are enough better landscapes in the Napa area than the one seen in the background of this facility. Perhaps I'

'An object lesson in how to look at photographs'

I recently bought the book "The Old Order and the New: P H Emerson and Photography (1885-1895)". As well as including most of Emerson's photographs, which are very worthwhile, it has some fascinating essays by John Taylor, who (I think) curated the accompanying exhibition. One of the most interes

Now your spring has sprung! I'm jealous. (As I lay on the cold, wet ground, waiting for a snowdrop to open:-). Nice shot. Beautiful, brilliant color. paul On Mar 21, 2007, at 6:01 PM, Walter Hamler wrote: > Went looking for Spring Pics this AM. Found this at the local > Garden in > town. > >

Re: PESO - Old Barn

Hi, Thanks for your comments. As for the barn being too close to the frame edge, I sort of agree. I wanted it close to emphasize the perspective, but I didn't want it quite that close. However, there was a pole a little bit to the right, and I thought about leaving it in the frame, but it was u

Shel, I'll try to explain how I see it. The roadblocks or whatever they are in the foreground are not at all interesting to me, and make this a view on an industrial area, whereas there is a nice landscape with cloudy sky around these weird pseudo-windmills or pseudo-rockets. By cropping within la
