Has anybody tried new RedRiver Polar *Luster* Metallic ?

Hi All! I've just discovered that RedRiver renamed its "Polar Pearl Metallic" paper to "Polar Gloss Metallic 255", and introduced a new paper, - "Polar LUSTER Metallic". For several years, I've been using RR Polar Pearl Metallic, mostly for calendars and occasionally cards. I was

That's great! It's funny that at the end of the article they have "Send us your voting selfie". http://42graphy.org/misc/NYTvotingSelfie.jpg My first reaction was: Do they ask birds to vote for your article? ;-) Cheers, Igor Paul Stenquist Sun, 18 Oct 2020 05:06:48 -0700 wrote: For

Photo of Nobel prize (2020) winner

As some of you have heard, the Nobel Prize was given this year for discoveries in astrophysics. Among the winners is Sir Roger Penrose - for black holes (here is the summary: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2020/summary/ ) Here is a photo of him (on the right) that I took 10

More on bokeh (Was: Re: PESO: 3D pop?)

Toine, First, let me say that you've got a very nice image! Paul has given a very simple explanation for the visual effect you (we) observe. The further difference is (as Paul and a few others pointed out) comes from the quality of the bokeh for the particular lens. As you probably know,

Re: OT: Why are cars getting bigger?

Ghm... Google tells me that Abraham Lincoln was 6'4" (193 cm). So, now, I know why he did not drive a car: he didn't fit in either of those cars. :-) On a serious note, one guy we knew long time ago was close to 2-m tall (somewhere in the vicinity of 6'6"). Surprisingly, the car he bought

That's an interesting device! However, there is one puzzling moment in the diagram caption in this image: https://us.ricoh-imaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/AVM6x21WP_features-1-830x414.png "The phase coating applied to the prism, suppressed flare and goose, ..." I am unable to figure

Re: PESO: mushroom season

That's a very attractive photo, especially at a higher(tighter) zoom level, where you can see every detail, as a few people have pointed out already. The glow is a nice touch! Despite being avid mushroom gatherers (and eaters), we've never gathered any of this type. Of all the mushrooms
