Re: PESO: Chicago - Central Camera
2010/5/14 taylorjohn...@cablespeed.com: I had an absolute blast last week in Chicago! Huge thanks to Mark and Christine for all their hard work and dedication to make the exhibit a reality. So good to meet you PDML'ers that were there. You all are an awesome group of very talented folks. I haven't had much time to process many of the images I had taken, but here is one. Hope too many aren't anti-HDR because that is what I'm into these days. I'll be posting some more shots and thoughts from the trip this weekend. I do like the photo despite it being somewhat oversaturated. I would like it even better without the guy in the LLH where oversaturation really shows and biases my perception of the image as a whole. The colors kinda remind me of what was called the urban acid effect and was a fad some time ago but they really do work in that setting, especially when juxtaposed to the rather old looking sign and the since 1899 which both seem to call for b/w or sepia Thanks for sharing Ecke -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

It's a thumbs up from me Jay. Saturation lends itself to the subject and I like the surreal feeling. Tom C.

All good stuff, Jay! Have eaten at Original Joe's many times, but in San Jose, CA. If you didn't try it, it's a shame. I'll bet Central Camera Has been broken into a time or two..ya' think? Nice set!

I agree it is is a bit oversaturated as I also ran it through Topaz Adjust, but that was kind of the effect I was after with this one. I like your idea of the TriX-ish rendering and will definitely take you up on it. Thanks for the feedback.
