Re: PESO - Aperture Dreams #3
I missed #2, probably buried in e-mail... for me at least, #3 has ceased to be strictly photography, not that there's anything wrong with that, call it pop-art, but it's been altered enough that it's not really a photograph anymore, IMO.

What you appear to have done in your method was to severely enhance the contrast and then alter the hue relationships to make these differences more apparent. Interesting effect, I'd say next time record it as an action as you go then you can use the transformation on any other pic and see what it does, might be interesting. The medications I don't know about, we'd have to exchange scripts I guess :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998

Thanks, Boris ... glad you liked it. Here's another variation in case you're interested: http://home.earthlink.net/~shel-pix/apdreams2.html Shel You meet the nicest people with a Pentax [Original Message] From: Boris Liberman http://home.earthlink.net/~shel-pix/apdreams.html So, Shel, aperture dreams of being only moderately closed and of nice sweet bokeh... Sweet bokeh dreams to your lenses' apertures then ;-). This is one of your best abstracts... At least among those I've seen.

RE: PESO - Aperture Dreams
Aperture was about 5.6. I wanted to stop down just enuf to show the aperture formation, but not so much as to make it impossible to hand hold the lens. EI was 800, shutter speed 1/4 second. I focused a little - totally OOF gave just round blobs, so the focus was adjusted to provide the aperture shape. Exposure and Shadows were adjusted in the RAW converter, as was Contrast, and Hue/Sat was tweaked a bit in Photoshop.
