Thanks, Mark. Had to wait for someone to come along, and before too

Re: PESO - Spiral

[Alan C]

I agree.

I often wonder why "spiral" is used to describe such staircases. Spirals are 
actually 2D shapes (like a clock spring) wheras the 3D version is a Helix 
(like DNA). Some pundits say that a helix is simply a 3D spiral with 
constant radius.

Re: July PUG is up

[Marnie (aka Doe)]

Very nice PUG. I am very fond of trees and leaves.

Everyone has mentioned Hosta, very graphic.

I would like to mention some others. David Mann's Frost, proving simpler 
is often better. Jan Van Wijk's Victoria Amazonia is sort of startling, 
never seen leaves like that. At first I thought they were big 
caterpillars, very unusual. Not Quite Grown by Paul Sorenson, great 
lightening and framing. Leaves really jump out. And Lisbon by Rick 
Womer. I like how it was taken really close up. Holes were intriguing -- 
I kept thinking I might see something through them (city scene, skyline, 
some eyes looking, something). Heh.


One one of the advantages of coming back to PDML is looking at the 
monthly PUG. Thanks, folks.

Intriguing image. Prefer the sharper Flicker shot but the hidden
mystery lurking in the scene is somehow stirred by the softer scene.
Dog was fortunate.

Mark, I think Ann nailed it when she wrote “there is a whole novel in this 
photo.” I have come back to it several times since you posted it. Very 
intriguing, but falling short of its potential, I think.

The problem I have is with exposure. I thought from the blowing tree that there 
was a storm coming in, and that the unevenly exposed sky was because of storm 
clouds and rain curtains. That’s not clearly the case, though. One might try 
boosting the contrast so that the sky is more dramatic, and the contrast with 
the bright grassy band of the mid-ground stronger. The dark band of foreground 
just seems confusing; one could brighten it so that it is closer to the 
mid-ground.

PESO -- Signature Bridge! [or The Best Laid Plans].

[P. J. Alling]

Signature Bridge, (no not that one the other one).

I wish this image really could stand alone, but it requires some backstory.

About thirty years ago plans were laid to replace the Pearl Harbor 
Bridge over the Quinnipiac River at the north end of New Haven Harbor.  
A great deal of money was expended to secure the plans for a very nice 
signature suspension bridge, as a gateway to the New Haven.  
Unfortunately the bridge is only really visible from one approach, but 
still it would be a pretty good view.


Over the next thirty years there was much dithering while debate 
proceeded in a desultory fashion over getting enough funding to replace 
the original bridge, a nondescript ribbon of highway not much different 
than a typical on ramp to a section of raised highway.


In the meantime the Tomlinson Bridge, a low draw bridge over the 
Quinnipiac was replace with an lift bridge the one you can see in the 
foreground of this image.  So the State of Connecticut has spent a great 
deal of money on a signature bridge that pretty much fails to because it 
cannot be seen from the one approach where it would be visible.

I am not sure if someone here got affected...

Amazon photos broken by 'ransom demand' 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40492668


To me, there is an interesting statement near the end that talks about free 
service ... I'm the earlier days, I also had that attitude.  But then I 
realized that it is the users who is the product,  an  that you are paying 
with your information and your views.

And worse, in some cases you cannot pay instead of allowing your information.

So, even providers of free services have responsibilities.
But I wouldn't rely on that...
I wonder what others think.

I was going to do a leaving image but other events interceded. It was one of 
those “God willing and the creek don’t rise” commitments to self. And then the 
creek rose. 26 inches of muddy water in my garage. Clean up coming along, I 
keep thinking that the end is in sight but then finding something else that 
needs to be cleaned or discarded and replaced. The light at the end of the 
tunnel is a train coming in my direction…

But I did take time to look through the very impressive collection of leaf 
images.

No one wants to acknowledge security holes in their software, so 
unless it's one that's become an actual problem with a documented 
exploit, it probably won't be mentioned in the release notes.


I hate to bow to an arrogant SOB of a developer who introduces a bug 
and through ignorance and due to just plain pigheadedness refuses to 
admit he's wrong, but falling back to a previous version, probably 
isn't the best idea, unless something more serious is broken.


As I said I removed the "regular" reply button from the in message

Re: July PUG is up

[ann sanfedele]

I wish there had been three more leaf photos because the index page 
looks so lovely - like a stained glass window  - but with that last 
photo dangling


Yeah, gotta admit Wheatfield's shot is striking - The puppy is doing 
good things for his head I think.


-  I expected to see one from Bulent that would compete...

Wish I'd had my head in the right place to dig more deeply into my stuff 
for something better

Nice. Bill Robb's "Hosta" is my favorite.

damn! how did we all miss doing that?  I simply had not thought about it 
_ I was just annoyed that my best leaf photos were not taken with my 
Pentax...

I was lazy too

That's a beatiful gallery!

Having known PDMLers (with so many punsters) for so many years, I am 
surprised by the fact that there was no other interpretation of the 
theme:

1) other types of "leaves"
or
2) a singular 3rd-person form of the verb "to leave".

(I was tempted to do so, but didn't have time or energy to find or 
shoot some reasonable photo for that.)


Cheers,

Igor

Re: PESO - Spiral

Quite effective.  I particularly like the position of the person in the
frame and on the stairs.
