PESO: Hard light, hard woman

I added a few more pics to my "It Happened on Woodward" gallery today. This is probably my favorite of the new images. Shot this afternoon. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5704375 Paul -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

This is an interesting subject, but it cries out to be perfectly symmetrical. IMHO, once an image is close to perfectly symmetrical, you have to nail it. Otherwise it looks like a miss. You can't make this perfect in that regard, but you can come damn close by rotating it a wee bit counterclock

I've done a third rendering. I went back to the RAW and was able to recover more highlight detail. I then applied the shadow/highlight tool and worked on the curves a bit. I gave it just a touch of highlight burn as well, but not enough to cause that weird tonality that I achieved in my first r

Re: Auto-110 SLR

In your case it may well be worth it. I have an auto 110 kit, new in the box. But it's not the super. Paul On Mar 17, 2007, at 10:29 PM, John Sessoms wrote: >> >> From: >> Paul Stenquist >> You can probably buy another one for less than it would cost to >> r

Re: PESO: Three of Four

Thanks Marnie. Yes, the title is obviously a mistake. The idea was that three of the girls appeared to be in lock step. I think I'll change it on my page. Paul On Mar 18, 2007, at 1:57 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 3/17/2007 2:15:44 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PRO

Re: K10D, 2000+ frames, one blown pixel

I shot my lens cap once. Couldn't see any ornery pixels. But like you, I don't much care. One pixel this way or that way doesn't really ring my chimes. Paul On Mar 18, 2007, at 5:03 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > It's very rare that a manufacturer would do much for one dead or hot > pixel. Most

Re: GESO - Oxford On Fire

When I think Oxford, I get all caught up in "Jude the Obscure". Loved the book, it moved me deeply, but the movie sucked. Paul On Mar 18, 2007, at 5:03 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: > Cotty wrote: > >> On 18/3/07, ann sanfedele, discombobulated, unleashed: >> >> >> >>> http://www.cottysnaps.com/snaps

Thanks Peter. (Apologies to the ladies, BTW.) Grace is learning to ride her tricycle, but her legs aren't quite strong enough yet. (She's still only two.) But she has figured out the steering. Paul On Mar 18, 2007, at 11:38 PM, P. J. Alling wrote: > Very cute shot. > > P
