Re: PESO: Chapeau
Nice capture.. a bit dark on my monitor but not by much I also went and looked at your visit to Larry stuff... and liked this a lot on the second time around... also toe cormy and the gaudy flower... but this faux pre-columbian mask was nice to see http://www.flickr.com/photos/walt_gilbert/5579526933/ IMGP1566 ann Walter Gilbert wrote: Hi all, Just wanted to share a shot I managed to capture while I was at the Olympic Club in San Francisco -- probably my favorite shot of the night.

Most of these shots could be improved quite a bit. I shot in RAW + JPG, and these are all taken from the JPGs, because I just felt the need to get something posted quickly given the number of shots I had to go through.

Re: PESO: Chapeau
Thanks, Brian! I'll give your suggestion a try, though I have to admit I'm still very much a neophyte when it comes to photo editing. The best I can usually do is some auto-leveling, maybe bumping contrast, and some noise reduction -- and, of course, cropping. I have a really tough time editing sections of images without butchering the whole affair. :-\ Thanks for the input, and for having a look. -- Walt On 4/1/2011 8:19 PM, Brian Walters wrote: On Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:17 -0500, Walter Gilbertldott...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, Just wanted to share a shot I managed to capture while I was at the Olympic Club in San Francisco -- probably my favorite shot of the night.
