Good to have you back, Subash!

It's a beautiful and very interesting image.

On my (calibrated laptop) monitor, I think the contrast is too high in
the foreground; the hiker's trousers and all but the tops of the
shrubs are featureless dark blobs. Alternatively one could "dodge"
that area a bit.

That is the question.

I can see y'all, can y'all see me?

My "plan" for black Friday was to stay home, maybe go out and split some
more firewood, but to just generally goof off.

BUT, I had to take my cable modem down to Time Warner Cable's local
office and exchange it for one that hopefully will work for longer than
10 minutes without needing to be rebooted.

OTOH, since it seems like everyone else was out shopping, I didn't have
to wait in line too long, and the new modem has been on-line for about
half an hour so far now with no trouble.

The last one lasted about 3.5 months.

OT or not OT

2015-11-27 Thread John

That is the question.

I can see y'all, can y'all see me?

My "plan" for black Friday was to stay home, maybe go out and split some
more firewood, but to just generally goof off.

BUT, I had to take my cable modem down to Time Warner Cable's local
office and exchange it for one that hopefully will work for longer than
10 minutes without needing to be rebooted.

OTOH, since it seems like everyone else was out shopping, I didn't have
to wait in line too long, and the new modem has been on-line for about
half an hour so far now with no trouble.

The last one lasted about 3.5 months.

Tonally, it is beautiful.
Compositionally, I might consider a closer, full-frontal view of the
window part.
More importantly, I feel that a human element (shadow of a cook
inside?) might also contribute.

Re: A Thanksgiving Message

A belated Happy Thanksgiving to you too Paul! Nice article from the NYT. 
My wife has a bit of family here but Thanksgiving is the holiday for 
visiting family that is further out. We used to host our parents who 
were nearby but they are gone. Since we have no kids its a quiet holiday 
now, with just us and a friend or two. Christmas is much more 
celebratory but thanksgiving has become a peaceful happy day.

Very well composed action shot, Dan. 
A bit of motion blur to those taking the ice suits the image.
Audience colors strike a nice contrast with the foreground ice

I'm pretty sure the display you see on the back of the camera is

Re: Alaska Calendar

2015-11-27 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
I received my calendar this morning, Ann.  Thanks for doing it, and
for the quick service.

The calendar exceeds my expectations, even thought, based on what I
have seen over the years, I always expect th4 best from your work.

Our trip to Alaska was in 1992, the year of your second trip.  We
arrived just before the summer solstice, so we could be north of the
Arctic Circle (in Kotzebue) for the longest day of the year, and
stayed until after July 4, just long enough to experience a 3.5
earthquake and an airport covered with volcanic dust.

I love all the images, but two of them especially resonate with me:
The image of Denali at midnight, because that is the way I remember
it, and the image of Portage Lake and Portage Glacier, which I
remember well. We we were at Portage, they had a explanatory film in
the visitor center, after which they opened the curtains, to reveal
the glacier, RIGHT THERE!  I understand that the glacier has receded
so far that no it is no longer visible from where the visitor center
was back then.

I also enjoyed your images because you and I visited much different
parts of Alaska, except for Denali, Portage and Homer.  I never got up
to the Alcan, to the Panhandle, or even to Fairbanks.  OTOH, we flew
up northwest, to Nome and Kotzebue on the Bering Sea, and southwest,
to the Alaska Peninsula, King Salmon and Katmai.

Good to have you back, Subash!

It's a beautiful and very interesting image.

On my (calibrated laptop) monitor, I think the contrast is too high in
the foreground; the hiker's trousers and all but the tops of the
shrubs are featureless dark blobs. Alternatively one could "dodge"
that area a bit.

Looks like a place one would not want to gointo toeat...  I like 
Bulent's suggestion of shooting it straight on, but there
are probably reasons like reflections or not being able to back up to a

Thanks, Jack, Frank and Ann.

Hockey is difficult to shoot, because the boards and the Plexiglas
atop the boards obscure a lot of the action.

Yes, Ann, the fans are a bit casual, but by this time, the home team
had the game well in hand.  Besides, it's the Ivy League, not big time

PESO: Sliding Seat

This is one of the sliding sets in an 8+ rowing shell.  You can also
see the shoes in the foot stretchers.  The sliding seat, together with
the fixed position of the feet, allows the rower to power the stroke
with the leg and back muscles, not just the arms, yielding a more
efficient and powerful stroke.
