Well, also, you applied some unusually good photographer technique, to get all the different bits of the pooch in more or less the same plane. But yeah, can’t complain about softness there. -T On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 9:20 AM, Walt wrote: > So, I got that FA 50/1.4 Mr. Desjardins selling over the

Re: OT PESO - Dangerous

If you get a chance I highly recommend watching one of Lindsay Adler's retouching seminars. I was fortunate to catch her three day seminar on Creativelive.com last week and it was tremendously informative and eye-opening. I was surprised to see how close my workflow is to hers, but she goes so much

PESO: Sharp-eyed Beggar ... or, FA 50/1.4 enablement

So, I got that FA 50/1.4 Mr. Desjardins selling over the weekend, and I've finally taken a shot with it. One of the few knocks against it was that it's soft wide-open. So, I decided to test it out. Here's what I got after just a tiny bit of processing: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gil

After Joe Dixon asked whether anyone could see his Photonet page, I left a browser open to his page for about 40 hours to see if it would ever load completely. It never did load all the thumbnails. By the time I closed the browser there were still about a third of the thumbnails that hadn't loade

Re: GESO: Sandy's Visit to My Neighborhood

I had one of those "do-hickeys," but my wife threw it out along with a lot of other cooking items we hadn't used in years. I did find some of those "coffee singles" in the office, and took them home. They were very, very old, but better than no coffee at all. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotoga

Re: peso- shop keeper

Bob, if you were to come for a visit (you might want to ask Rachel - it could be she saw that), I would have taken you to the Jerusalem Arts Museum where you could see the photograph which clearly alludes "The Last Supper" but with the twist - all the participants are IDF soldiers. And although I

Boris, That's an interesting reference for a Jewish guy. :-) I hadn't thought about it, but it is clearly there...the hand and Christ image over his shoulder. A homage to Lenardo Da Vinci right there in Little Havanna. Nice going Christine! Regards, Bob S. On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 10:40 PM, Boris

Re: OT PESO - Emerge (NSFW)

Dave, That's pretty slick. She really fades into the dark background. Again, the eyes really stand out along with the light colored nipple. The light does a nice job modeling the breast. Overall, the faces you showed earlier were more fierce and scary. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 9:32

Re: 1, 000, 000, 000, 000 Frames/Second Photography - Ramesh Raskar - YouTube

The original strobe photos out of Doc Edgerton's lab were a single event. The TED talk you reference is imaging with composite photos used to get short exposures. Still neat, but not really one exposure. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 9:00 AM, Roman Melihhov wrote: > http://www.youtube.c

From: "Daniel J. Matyola" I don't know how you lasted a month! At home, I boil water and pour it through the electric drip coffee maker. Not very satisfactory. It's more satisfactory than no coffee at all! One option is "coffee singles" - look like a teabag, but they have coffee in them. Put
