Hi, Shel, I scanned it from an 8x10 print on my crappy scanner (Epson 636) using the crappy software that's in this computer (by MGI or someone like that - too lazy to look). Why do you ask? BTW, I gotta contact you off list about that photoshop thing we were talking about. -frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.

Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2004 20:16:23 -0800 Hi Frank ... Before commenting I'd like to know what this image was taken from: did you scan the film yourself and use an editing program to make the photo web ready? Did someone else do the scan and give you a CD from which you posted the pic? You mentioned a contact sheet ... is this image taken from the sheet and blown up, or was a print made and then scanned for posting? If so, who scanned the print? shel _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcommpgmarket=en-caRU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.msn.com%2f%3fpage%3dmisc%2fspecialoffers%26pgmarket%3den-ca
Re: Two Things That P***ed Me Off Today!
Because the pic looks like crap on my monitor, and on the calibrated PS monitor, and before passing judgment i wanted to understand how the photo was made before being posted here. Don't want to criticize you for a software problem since I know you're using someone elses computer, etc. frank theriault wrote: Hi, Shel, I scanned it from an 8x10 print on my crappy scanner (Epson 636) using the crappy software that's in this computer (by MGI or someone like that - too lazy to look).

Two Things That P***ed Me Off Today!
Hi, I've sort of been collecting photos of people and their bikes over the last while, and I've started to get them printed. My first large print was of this lovely looking couple I saw walking down the street. I asked if I could take their photograph, we chatted a while, and I took three or four shots. From the contacts, this was the best one; I really like the way she's looking at him: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2036662 And, of course, when I get the 8x10 back today, I notice that her expression is wonderful, alright, but he has his eyes closed!! Damn it! Unfortunately, the other shots of this couple aren't particularly interesting. Still, it aint' a horrible shot. Just not as nice as I'd hoped for. Sigh... Oh well, I've got a bunch more people and their bikes shots to get blowed up. We'll see how they turn out. Could be the start of a project... And then, I get home, and think to myself, I'll do my PUG Comments before I go look at PDML and waste a couple of hours wading though 200 or so posts. Which I did. But, after 1/2 hour and quite a few comments, I accidentally hit a wrong key (I still don't know which one it was, but I was really in a groove, and my fingers were flying (but not accurate, apparently g), and deleted the draft. Damn it again! Oh well. Cold spell comes into town 2nite. Winds up to 70 km/h, and the temp drops down to around -20 or -25C (plus the windchill). High tomorrow of only about -15C. Hope the winds die down, or it's gonna be a cold day on the bike! g cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.

Re: Two Things That P***ed Me Off Today!
Nice shot Frank. Like Bob, I don't think it the eyes closed are too bad either. Reminds me (weird mental links) of a less lonely version of that image of James Dean walking down a New York street. Nice poses too. One thing though.. the text reflection in the shop window, shouldn't it be mirrored? Cheers, Ryan PS. Hey I just bought a bike the day before yesterday!

Bob, that's a nice shot, too. I'd be interested in knowing what lens you used for that - there is a remarkable amount of fall-off.

Hi, Bob, that's a nice shot, too. thanks. I'd be interested in knowing what lens you used for that - there is a remarkable amount of fall-off. I don't know for sure which lens it was, but the chances are it was an SMC A 70-210/4, and it was probably at f/4 or thereabouts. It was evening and the sun was only just above the horizon, over where the man is looking. -- Cheers, Bob

Re: Two Things That P***ed Me Off Today!
Thanks, Ryan, No, the text in the window isn't a reflection. It's the name of the establishment, painted on the window. Actually, it's the Stephen Bulger Gallery, probably the pre-eminent gallery showing photography in Toronto right now. I had only just come out of there a minute or two before I took the shot. Boring exhibit last month, someone 'painting with light directly on photo paper. At least I thought it was boring. Or, if not boring, not photography. Or so I thought. Then I thought, hey, if photography means writing with light, then what she does really ~is~ photography! And, she did it very well. I still didn't like it - just not my thing, I guess (I've said that a lot over the last few days just not my thing - must be my phrase of the week). cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
