PDML Annual book - last minute reminder

[Igor PDML-StR]

Just in case someone still hasn't submitted his or her photo(s)
to the PDML annual (which means you are a worse procrastinator then I), - 
you still have about 18 hours to finalize your submission.


Here is the link:
http://www.robertstech.com/pdmlbook/upload.php


(Of course, that doesn't guarantee that The Chief Editor would not remove 
your photo from the "submitted photos" list manually, as was done last 
year with a couple of mine, or change the order of submission in that list 
as was done for one other PDMLer who submitted after me, just to make mine 
appearing the last. But hopefully, this year someone who shall not be 
named would not be freaked out by the buggy and inconsistent script on his 
website. Cough, cough, wink, wink ...)

UBUNTU is an easy install.  Download the file and write it to a DVD - maybe a 
memory stick by now, shove it in the machine and follow instructions.  
Automatically installs Firefox and Thunderbird.  (Windows) problems fixed, 
permanently.

Still, judging by the overall quality of the images we've received so
far I could probably put together a damn fine book right now...

Just a reminder: Everything stops on February 28 - Midnight GMT, 7:00
p.m. US Eastern time and 4:00 p.m. Pacific time. I have a busy
schedule this semester so we'll really be taking no more submissions
after the page shuts down.

Thanks to all those who made donations via the submission page. They
really help mitigate the out-of-pocket expense for me.

This might be a good time to reconsider your position on Windows 10.
You've got two years left before Microsoft drop all support for W7.
That means there won't even be any security updates after Jan 2020.




F*** 'em. I'll figure out how to install Linux ... or maybe turn it
into a Hackintosh.

Photoshop will run on a Mac, why not on a Hack?

The program starts late May, and runs until late September. The cost is 
something like US$550.00 and is being done by Precision Camera Repair in 
the USA. The Canadian price is ~C680.00, and is being handled by Sun

Re: PESO Raptor Revisited

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks for the input, John. I had thought about removing the branches below the 
breast. That’s an easy one, and I may do so. The flight feathers on the left 
wing are what they are, save perhaps the longest one, which was blending with a 
branch, and I may have truncated it slightly.

I think if you're going to remove the spruce branches above the wing
you also need to remove those below the breast. It also looks like the
flight feathers on the left wing are truncated.

Sharpen the shit out of the area around the eye, and it will look
more in focus. Blame the rest of it on motion blur.

Doesn't really need it. It's a good photo as it is.

New laptop

[John]

My new laptop just arrived. I finally broke down and ordered a
refurbished HP Elitebook from Newegg. Intel i5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD,
DVD±RW, Windoze7 PRO 64-bit.

Replaces my 11 year old Toshiba. I expect I'll finally be able to
run Photoshop CS6 Extended on a laptop.

Instructions say plug it in and let the battery charge for 8 hours
before you use it, so I'm not getting to play with it yet. I'll
check it out after I get home from my Tuesday night music session.

Re: PESO Raptor Revisited

[ann sanfedele]

I really don't think you should have bothered.. the lack of branches so 
neatly eliminated from the top right looks a bit

weird. because of the branches that are still left in on the lower right..
The lack of sharpness adds to the sense of movement.   Anyway your 
throwaways are better than most peoples

prize shots :-)

Re: PESO Raptor Revisited

Both raptor shots are very good catches.
The steady one deserves to be hung (on the wall in form of a photo, of 
course).
The one in flight is a very interesting catch. I bet you wish the head 
were more in focus.



While opening the two links (before and after, - at first, I couldn't see 
the difference until I placed two browser windows side-by-side...

 (No, I am not drunk, and I've been awake for 4.5 hours. :-) )
Once I've noticed what you've cloned out, I had a "doh!" reaction.
But, yes, it's like cloning a pole growing out of someone's head in a 
family photo.


Actually, because the brunch that was cloned out was a bit weirdly dark, - 
I thought at first that the one with it was the doctored one.

Hi Larry,

Definitely a Red-tailed Hawk (adult). At first I thought it was the pale
prairie subspecies often referred to as a "Krider's" Red-tailed Hawk,
but the extensive belly band and the tail with orange going all the way
to the base (rather than with an extensive whitish wash at the base and
orange only on the outer half), leaves me to think this is what is often
called a pale-morph Red-tailed Hawk. Red-tails are extremely variable
and can range from very pale like this one to almost entirely
chocolate-brown.

Fantastic photos - thanks for sharing them!

We don’t get many big brawny birds here in the heartland. But today a
hawk landed in a nearby spruce while I was shooting dinky sparrows and
chickadees. Not easy to identify him sitting in a tree, and at first I
thought it was Cooper’s Hawk.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4o9lnaof9xso1x0/8136.jpg?dl=0

But I got one throwaway shot of him in flight, and due to the wing
markings and the broad red tail, I think he’s a red-tailed hawk.

magnificent birds, and super images, especially the one of the hawk in

We don't get many hawks around here, but when I seen them, they are usually

For the most part, we just have turkey vultures.
