Oddly, the winning photo doesn't do much for me, though it's interesting to note that it isn't far from where burning man is held. I'm puzzled by the comment on the next photo: Tech Specs: Canon PowerShot G9 (at 35mm equivalent); exposure, 1/1000 sec at f/4, ISO 80. What do they mean 35mm equivalent exposure? Are seconds faster on compact cameras? I like the B&W of the peacock, but the text on the shot is from the photo with the rower. I saw this one of the seals: http://www.popphoto.com/gallery/18th-annual-readers-photo-contest?image=17#container And thought "I've seen the seals do that down in Santa Cruz". Then I noticed that it was taken in Santa Cruz. > > Darren Addy > Kearney, Nebraska > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
