Re: PESO - Susquehenna

Hello Scott, I mostly like it. The issues can be most dealt with in a crop. I find the left bank to be of no value to the picture, and the left side of the sky kind of hazes out. So I would crop the left side off. Also the sky is not really very strong and doesn't need that much showing. So I

Re: PESO: Crystal Bay Silhouette

Love the image in general. I pulled it down and played with saturation just a bit - if you bring up the saturation a little, some really warm orange hues come up nicely - I rather like it, gives it a warmer morning feeling. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, July 19, 2006, 9:16:18 AM, you wrote

Re: PESO - Jente på plenen

Hello Toralf, I can see what you mean about the expression. It does seem to kind of hang on to you and make you keep looking. Almost like you are trying to see what she is seeing/thinking. I like this one in B&W. Thanks for sharing. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, July 19, 2006, 9:06:01

Re: PESO - Susquehenna

Like it. Can imagine the scene in the Fall with placid river reflections. While I like seeing all of the far right tree, I'd probably wind up either cropping off or cloning out the rather bright building. Thanks for the peek. Jack --- Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://picasaweb.

Re: PESO -- Turkey Surprise!

All she wanted to tell you was that she is in control of when she'll allow herself to be photographed. :) Another reminder of how it always pays to keep a camera close by. Beautiful grounds around you place of work. Very nice shot. Will be fun to PS, as you said. Jack --- "P. J. Alling" <[EMAIL

PESO - Voodoo Doll

This shot just brings to mind a voodoo doll just made and ready to be used. The other strange thought that came to me was Marvin the Martian. Pentax *istD, Tokina AT-X SD 400/5.6, Handheld ISO 200, 1/750 sec @ f/5.6 http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_3177a.htm Comments welcome. -- Bruce --

PESO - A Pair

I know, I said last birds for awhile...if we could define awhile as a very short period of time, I complied . It's just that these two were hanging around during my morning walk this morning. Pentax *istD, Tokina AT-X SD 400/5.6, Handheld ISO 400, 1/500 sec @ f/5.6 http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW

PESO: Early Aberdeen

Driving from Astoria, OR to the Olympic Peninsula, WA, we passed through Aberdeen, WA. Thought later I should have gone back to the car and gotten a flash just to say I'd tried it. The foreground being a homogeneous tone strikes me as the way I would have chosen it anyway. Just didn't give myself

Re: SV: 21mm limitted is a jewel ...

A large part of a wider maximum aperture is easier focusing, weather autofocus or manual an F2 lens will lock a lot faster than an F3.5. My SMC Takumar 35mm f3.5 gives excellent results on film and digital but it's a PITA to achieve precise focus, under anything other than the brightest ligh
