Re: GESO - War No More

Hi Marnie: A very worthy subject to shoot. You're off to a nice start here; I think the wide angle lens suggestion is worth a try. Also, I agree with Paul's choice of pic. Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, December 06, 2008 2:2

Re: GESO - War No More

Marnie, I like the 1st because of the mood, black & white with the hard panbase of the hill stretched before it. Directly below that, #6 does a good job of conveying the vastness of the field. And the two immediately to the left #7 & #8 give an interesting detailed perspective. You should work with

Anthony, I don't know where you live, but around here we throw politicians out when they insist on imposing their will on us. Don't expect any of them to run on a platform of more public transit. Remember what Marnie wrote. To paraphrase, the biggest, newest transit system in the US is a pain i

Re: PENTAX RED K1000! RARE LIMITED EDITION

I think I've seen lenses with the smc in red before, not very many, but not 50mm f2.0's either IIRC. However it's easy enough to produce the same effect using something like this: In fact there was an article I read somewhere

Re: PENTAX RED K1000! RARE LIMITED EDITION

Michel, I think it needs more documentation to justify it's 3-5X pricing. That might be a $50 early K1000 with a bit of red paint added. The only odd part is the extra flash synch. The lens should also have a plastic, not screw in lens cap. And the 55mm f1.8 was the better lens introduced with the

Re: GESO - War No More
