OT, The river is running pretty well tonight

Damn river, never has the decency to peak at interesting levels when I'm home and it is light out. I did my best to get some shots using LED bulbs and a speedlight. The photos suck, but you can kind of get the idea:

Right, we arrived home yesterday. The fires look like they're pretty much out but there's still a lot of work being done to take care of hot spots and prevent flareups. Today I've seen a steady procession of planes and helicopters dropping purple fire retardant (thanks Aussies). The hills

Ann, I usually try to avoid quoting the entire email or thread of emails, because when everyone does that, each post later in the thread becomes long and difficult to read. That works well for me, because my gmail takes all the posts with a certain caption and threads them together. I gather it

Dan - whenever you reply to an email on PDML that has a link -- either a PESO or perhaps something else someone is pointing out, your mail comes in without the original link... it always happens, so it must be something in your settings in email... so then no one sees what you were referring

Yes - I see the pink... so... photo scanned in color instead of gray scale and the pink os from darkroom mishap on this print? or something wonky elsewehre along the line... I've seen faint colors in BW prints I made 20 or 30 years ago, also possibly a light leak in the darkroom ? sunlight

Re: PESO Pretty Lady

Excellent image with sharp details and nice bokeh. The "grain" or whatever doesn't bother me at all, but if it were my image, I might clone out or crop out the little twig over her head. Most male birds are more garish than the females of the same species. I hardly think the house sparrow is

That is indeed what made him famous, and justly so. I love the traditional Ansel Adams black and white landscapes, but I think I like some of his more uncharacteristic works even better: http://cleveland.about.com/od/artmuseumsandgalleries1/ig/Ansel-Adams/Ansel-Adams---O-Keeffe.htm

Thanks Dan. It's definitely a nuthatch. The beak gives it away, as do the markings. They can't get at the feeder upside down, so they attack it just like the other birds. Paul via phone > On Feb 20, 2017, at 11:28 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > >> On Sun, Feb 19, 2017

Re: PESO Nuthatch

I wouldn't say I prefer grain. I'm ambivalent. I almost always shoot in TAV mode because the light varies greatly depending on where the birds perch. This shot is in brighter light, and I used some flash fill. So much lower ISO than the sparrow pic. No converter, handheld. Just for my personal

Re: PESO Nuthatch

Thanks a Larry, Most of the birds perch on tree branches before going to the feeder, so I don't need to encourage it. The nuthatches are somewhat of an exception, although I have occasionally gotten them on a tree as well -- upside down, as is their normal stance. Paul via phone > On Feb 20,
