PESO: The Lab

"Homage" to Gianni Galassi, where "homage" means "copy". :-) I really enjoyed seeing some of his photos on Miserere's blog and it got me thinking a little more abstractly and geometrically. I'm new to lightroom, but I did a bunch of dial sliding in an effort to emulate Gianni. http://samtheeagl

The Holy Matrimony of Motorcycle and Camera

Just thought I would share this link. These are the best motorcycle photos "from the seat" I have ever seen. It is a thread of photos taken by the motorcyclist. He shoots w a 5D/5D II, left handed, no gloves, no camera strap, while in motion (and quite well leaned over from what I can tell). htt

Tamron 17-50 vs 28-75 ?

Hi all, I'm fantasizing about acquiring an "upgrade zoom" from the pentax kit lens and am currently thinking that the race is between the tamron 17-50 and the 28-75. I tend to like the longer end of a lens more than the wider end, so I think I would not miss too much the 17-27mm. I'm happier tak

Lightroom 2.7 question: how to edit 2 pictures "side by side"

Hi all, I have a set of photos I shot where the WB was set to Tungsten. Halfway through the shoot I chimped and fixed this. Pictures were all shot in jpg on my K-x. What I'd like to do is to copy the color settings from the "good pictures" over to the pictures that have tungsten white balance.
