Big bad Banksia men are rather pretty close up, aren't they? I like the soft top light in these. On 31/03/2013 11:14 PM, Brian Walters wrote: G'day all Looking at Mark's post about his macro tests with the Q made me realise that I needed to get off my backside and take some photos with my

Some close up tests with the Q

G'day all Looking at Mark's post about his macro tests with the Q made me realise that I needed to get off my backside and take some photos with my Q. My needs are more modest than Mark's - I'm more into close-up than true macro - so, rummaging around in my bits and pieces drawer I came

I can't answer your question, Bob. But that skeuomorphism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeuomorph) was a particular fetish of the departed software head Scott Forstall http://venturebeat.com/2012/10/30/skeuomorphic-design-or-one-reason-we-can-be-thankful-scott-forstall-is-gone/ Maybe in tim

OT: Overbearing metaphors

I bought an iPad yesterday, which is the first Apple product I've ever owned, although I've used a few over the years, especially when they went wrong for non-computer-literate friends. I'm setting it up at the moment, and transferring various bits and pieces off the Thinkpad notebook I've been usi

My gmail client sometimes doesn't send plain text. Another try: I added a few samples of the raynox on the Q both the 06 zoom and 01 prime: http://www.repiuk.nl/index.php/blog-mainmenu-97/248-q-macro Most of the images are with fill in flash from the Q flash. Scroll down and click on the image f

Re: OT - Photographers can clone their own work

I think it is really funny the court case happens to be about an Eggleston. If it was an Adams or Weston print, sold as fine art limited edition vintage prints, then possibly I'd have some sympathy if a bunch of them turned up in the market from the same printer. Eggleston work just begs to

Love the patriotic dumpster in the dirty snow. Some true urban yuck! The baby looking at you is a great grab as well. Paul On Mar 31, 2013, at 6:32 AM, Derby Chang wrote: > > Piercing-look baby is great. I quite like it when you get a direct look in > street shots. > > On 31/03/2013 3:06

Re: PAW 2013 catch up

Piercing-look baby is great. I quite like it when you get a direct look in street shots. On 31/03/2013 3:06 AM, Christine Aguila wrote: Hi All: I did shoot some frames, but couldn't get any gumption to post to the gallery. The first 4 photos are the new ones. Cheers, Christine http://www

Re: GESO - little brother gets an airing

Thanks Frank, and everyone else who looked. Film is Tri-X. Probably not the most appropriate for macro stuff, but I'm fond of the grain. This is the first time I've used T-max developer. Normally I use Ilfosol 3, and I think I'll go back to it. Mixing at 1:4 for Tmax is going to get expensive

OT - skyline photos from the Russian sky-walker.

While the photos from Egyptian pyramids made it to the big news, there are other interesting photos from the roof-tops of other cities done by the same guy: http://raskalov-vit.livejournal.com/ Don't fear the text in Russian. Here is a hint for navigation: Under each photo, there is a link cente
