I don't usually comment very much on the PUG etc. It takes a pretty special picture to stir me to action. B&W seems to be almost a lost art, but a couple of B&W entries on this month's PUG got my juices to flowing. The irony is that Shel is probably best known for his B&W street photos, but I find his color shot of the flag behind the fence to be extremely powerful and thought provoking. Not that Shel would ever want to provoke your thoughts. ;-)
On this month's PUG, I especially liked Dick Jones, "Gates of the Valley". I was a little puzzled when I first saw it because I didn't think Ansel Adams was a list member. But it looks like a disciple of his has taken up the cause. Here is an example of extreme depth of field and composition that just sucks you into the great outdoors. Mike Johnston's "G.G. and Mari" really catches a Kodak moment. Here the limited depth of field isolates the subjects and the print quality, well, it almost glows. The warm tones of the print add to the warmth of the moment. -- Kenneth Archer + San Antonio, Texas [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ #24980801 Powered by Linux ++ Mailed by Kmail - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
