Re: GESO: Lane Motor Museum
Thanks Larry. On some I did go little over board on the HDR and on others I tried to go a bit more subtle. I will go through them and see what of them I can weed out.

Re: OT- Instagram now has right to sell your photos...
As I said on Twitter: Who da thunk after paying $1B for #Instagram that #Facebook would now want to monitize it? Besides everybody, I mean. One opinion to the latest news is that if you are going to use a free service you should expect them to be able to make money off of their service (YOU) somehow: http://www.zdnet.com/so-instagram-can-now-sell-your-photos-get-over-it-708960/ That article also links to a couple of services that help you to download your items from Instagram if you want to preserve them and then terminate your service with them. I don't use Instagram, so this does not affect me directly, but it is one more (significant) application of downward pressure to stock photography prices (something that seems to be going the way of print newspapers). So for anybody who makes an income off of stock photography this is not good news (any more than Getty's collaboration with Flickr was really good news in that regard). In a larger sense, this highlights the problem inherent in any Terms of Service that can change significantly with little notice to their users. Facebook has a particularly egregious history in this regard so it figures that anything they takeover is going to be afflicted by the same disease. I fear that it is a trend that will only accelerate with other services looking for ways to increase the bottom line.

RE: GESO: Lane Motor Museum
From: Jeffery Johnson We made a trip to the Lane Motor Museum here in Nashville. The Lane Motor Museum was established in 2002, by Jeff Lane, in Nashville, Tennessee. It features the largest collection of European vehicles in the United States. Though they have over 330 vehicles they only have on average 150 cars and motorcycles, not typically seen in the U.S., on display. The Museum is housed in a former 132,000 square foot bakery. The majority of the vehicles were built in the 1950s through 1970s but they do have some from the 20's and as current as 2000.

Well, for Instagram its neat. Not so much for its end users. But I have to admit I'm impressed with the diabolical game they've played here. TOS agreements like this havent been a problem in the past for a couple of reasons: Firstly, the online service could never be sure the person who uploaded the image was the copyright owner and there are big lawsuits waiting there if they guess wrong. Secondly, aside from copyright they need a model release from any recognizable person in any image they use commercially or license for commercial use. Instagram sidesteps the first issue entirely because the person who shoots the photo is the one who uploads it to the site. And because Instagram encourages artsy photography of all kinds of subjects, theres a good chance theyll get a significant number of photographs which dont show a recognizable person and therefore dont require a model release.

Re: Sometimes you just *have* to color-correct your images…
Hi Charles, My thoughts: The human eye-brain combination has a very intelligent white-balancing system; a photograph of the lady sitting under a green sun shade, shows a greenish skin, but with your own eyes you see correct color because your brain knows that skin is not green and concludes that it has to correct because of the green sun shade. The automatic white balance of your camera has to decide which part of the scene has to be called white. It will select the brightest part of the scene: the reflection on your ring! This is probably yellowish, because its own gold color and because of the sun light. If the system makes this white, the rest of the scene will be bluish. The system worked perfectly, it did what it was told to do!

Sadly, the term communism has been misused and abused more than just about any other word in the past century - including by those who purport to be communists (but clearly aren't). cheers, frank Well Frank, the meaning of words change over time. Some words are misused either accidentally or deliberately. Some words grow in meaning and come to encompass wider concepts, or that same word can be used to describe a smaller attribute of a larger whole. You know that though... :) I used the term in the sense that it applies to a general lack of regard for personal property rights, and probably most readers understood it in that context. As I understand now, Instagram/Facebook is back-pedaling saying that what they wrote isn't what they really meant. I find that hard to swallow because dishonesty and unbridled self-interest is easy to disguise and cover over as accidental, ineptness or stupidity. I had no doubts about what the TOS in question meant when I read it. I recall an underwear manufacturer commercial in the past depicting only white underwear as being 'communistic' or like living under a communist system because of a relative lack of choice. Viewers got the point. As Gerrit, wrote the terms democracy and capitalism (and just about any word) can be used in endless ways. Do you know what the word pedantic means? I'm sure you do. I do... sometimes I'm that way. :) Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Sometimes you just *have* to color-correct your images?
I never use AWB. I set the camera to Sunny WB leave it. Sunny WB is going to be wrong, but at least it's always consistently wrong in the same direction. AWB is going to be wrong wandering all over the place. NO two shots will be wrong in the same way. With the fixed WB I have an easier time correcting it in Camera Raw. From: Jos from Holland Hi Charles, My thoughts: The human eye-brain combination has a very intelligent white-balancing system; a photograph of the lady sitting under a green sun shade, shows a greenish skin, but with your own eyes you see correct color because your brain knows that skin is not green and concludes that it has to correct because of the green sun shade. The automatic white balance of your camera has to decide which part of the scene has to be called white. It will select the brightest part of the scene: the reflection on your ring! This is probably yellowish, because its own gold color and because of the sun light. If the system makes this white, the rest of the scene will be bluish. The system worked perfectly, it did what it was told to do!
