GESO: Woodward Dream Cruise

I shot the Dream Cruise for the Times for quite a few years in a row. That paper no longer covers a lot of automotive topics due to budget cuts, so the Cruise is no longer an assignment. But habits die hard, and I can’t deem to get out on Woodward without my camera. Shot at different times of

Re: PESO: Columbarium

Thanks, Ann. I noticed it sitting in this little niche as we were climbing down the hill, and I just had to stop, double back, and grab a shot when the group of tourists passing by thinned out for a while. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sat, Aug 19, 2017 at

Re: GESO: Woodward Dream Cruise

To make a gallery of thumbnails, create a new gallery, then populate it with photos you’ve uploaded to your portfolio. It’s actually easy and efficient once you figure out the method. No instructions on photo.net that i know of. > On Aug 19, 2017, at 11:15 PM, Jack Davis

Re: GESO: Woodward Dream Cruise

They should have provided more instruction. But once you get the hang of it, it works fairly well. It doesn’t work well on a phone, but on a computer it’s okay. Basically, you upload photos to your portfolio, and you then use those p photos to populate galleries. You can create new galleries

Re: GESO: Woodward Dream Cruise

I give you credit for sticking it out and figuring it out, Paul. I became so frustrated with Photo.net that I am putting most of the images I want to access on SquareSpace. Problem is, I still have thousands of images on Photo.net, so I should learn how to manage the clunky new system. Dan

Great images, Paul. Mostly they have an HDR 3D appearance with the subjects really standing out. Perhaps you could give some technical details? Didn't know there was a BelAir convertible. Alan C -Original Message- From: Paul Stenquist Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2017 4:53 AM To:

Nice shots - good lighting and sharpness. I've chased those quite a bit and they are indeed quite fast. Can't help much with the ID. The silver spotted skipper has a very prominent white mark on the underside of the rear wings and orange bands on the top side. Otherwise there are many species

Re: Photographer Jack Spencer's book This Land

Eric said: "I take it the subject is the beauty of the land, Dan." The subtitle of the book is "America’s beauty in photographs." It's clear he sees that beauty best when devoid of humans, or nearly so. I am neither agreeing with that premise nor criticizing it; jut noting that it tis his
