Re: PESO More Pretty Lady

Paul, its obvious either one is very good. Its more a question of which one you like and how it compares to the conditions under which it was captured. Having seen the non warm version first, I'd prefer that over the warmer version - either way very good work ! Kenneth Waller

OT: What color is your memory?

So I'm finally upgrading my old computer with a new motherboard. The new motherboard and CPU arrived today but not the memory I'd ordered. A quick phone call to the place I bought it from got that sorted out quickly and said they'd ship the memory right out. Then they called back to ask what

The warmer version is a real improvement. What surprises me about this pic is the range of motion in the bird's neck. It almost looks as though her head was installed backwards. Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 1:26 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote:

Website that tries to list all lenses available

I was trying to find a list of all the various Samyang lenses, to see if they made an inexpensive wideish macro and found this website: http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/brands/c_21/d_.html It doesn't seem to go into tremendous detail on each lens, but it still looks very handy. -- Larry

A lens you don't see offered every day...

I have no affiliation with this seller, but thought that this lens might be of interest to the macro shooters here, particularly since it is a PK/A lens: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/24-photographic-equipment-sale/308104-sale-voigtlander-90mm-f3-5-setting-pentax-first-version.html (Rave)

Focusing rail?

I've been using a Kiwi FC1 focusing rail for my stacked macros. It looks like the one that Bill linked to. Mine cost about $80. I bought it form the local camera store, which gave me the chance to check it out before buying. There are tons of rails out there that look the same or very similar

That's a typical challenge with the "serial" methods of nanolithography: you can "draw"/fabricate structures on a very small scale (~10 nm), but covering a large area with those structures is {difficult, expensive, lengthy, ... }. But this snippet reminded me of an old joke from my theater

PESO More Pretty Lady

Fiddling with the Cardinal pics from this weekend. Here’s the same shot I posted with a shite balance change. She was in the shade, and I hadn’t originally fooled with the white balance that AWB rendered. I usually add warmth in those situations, although there’s no good neutral color in frame
