Re: PESO: The Visitor
PJ, just because they are driving does not mean that they have a valid state driver's license. I have a client who is a legal immigrant with a valid green card and is working on his citizenship. He has a contacting business, and hires subcontractors on many jobs. .One of his subs had his truck impounded, because it was being operated by an undocumented alien without a valid license from this state. He had a valid license from Nicaragua, and New Jersey permits him to legally drive in this state with that license, but only for up to 60 days after becoming a resident. This particular individual received two tickets for driving beyond the guest statute period; the third time he was stopped, their impounded the employer's vehicle. Since the employer was a friend of my client, I went to municipal court with the driver, got the charges reduced and a fine paid, and the truck released. I suspect, however, that he is out there still driving on that alien license, but for someone else now.

Re: PESO - News ...
Another fine portrait Bruce! I would bet that the model is pleased with it. I’ll mostly echo others’ comments: - square crop might be better, but oh well. Though I understand that photoshoppery can be used to add e.g. blank space on the sides of this shot. - shadow under the nose is a bit too dark, but oh well. I understand the tradeoff with cheekbone shading. - it is a slightly ambiguous pose and expression. I usually prefer photos without captions - let the viewer see what he/she sees rather then tell them what they are looking at. In this case, if captioned, I think “Reflection” might be better - a label for what she is doing rather than a label creating a story or sorts about why she is reflecting. On the other hand, I like the pose. I think it looks natural, and I disagree about her right hand - I often sit that way leaning into (the hidden) part of my hand. I never would have thought twice about it in this case if I hadn’t seen Bill’s comment. However, I think a person's elbows are not particularly attractive, and your model has two of them right there catching my eye. Not sure what could be done in this case except maybe to dull the shine on her right elbow and, if image manipulation is to be part of the equation, desaturating the red in her elbows just a schoch to lower the color contrast with her arms.

Just a minor nit… Well, that may seem minor but it's the sum of all the tiny fixes that makes for a more esthetic image. This is another case where I zoomed out, examined the big picture and decided that I could live with the redness in her arms toward the elbows, but no sooner did I publish than I had second thoughts. So I agree: the elbows should be softened a little and the redness reduced. A high end retoucher would have done that automatically. As far as image manipulation goes: it should surprise no one that it is (almost) always part of my workflow. If you saw the original you'd find that I burned her arms quite a bit already to reduce their brightness relative to her face -- I wanted the emphasis on her face of course -- and specifically burned edges to reduce their apparent width as well. In retrospect I should have desaturated the red too.

DA* 16-50 vs DA Ltd 20-40? You decide guys
Long time no see. I need help from the best Pentax crew. Subject line pretty much sums it up. I know that 16 mm is wider than 20 mm, and that f:2,8 is faster than f:4. I also know that smaller and lighter is smaller and lighter. I pretty much know the good and the bads of the 16-50. I've got one at my desk, that has served me well for about 5 years, but alas not any more. I know little a about how the Ltd performs. So how do they compare int the IQ department? And what about AF speed? My min complaint about the 16-50 was that it had trouble finding focus when shooting fast moving music performers. Is the Ltd better at that? I've upgraded from K-5 classic to K-3 btw. That alone should improve focus a bit. And while I'm here. How are you guys? Have you been bad to each other like you used to do? Any new farts here? And remember. I expect a lot from you, tons of first class answers. -- MaritimTim My private photo blog: http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/ To err is human to arr is pirate -- 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: Mackinac Island Trip
The Rock Arch. Interesting shots across foreground rocks looking to WNW (from near the English (?) park). Wide angle shot from one end of the veranda of the Grand Hotel, looking towards the other end. (Note: entry fee required to go into the hotel or onto the veranda.)
