Re: Dave's lucky shot

Actually, in darts, the way I was taught in NZ, is to hit combinations of areas on the board, not necessarily the bullseye. Walt On 1/18/08, P. J. Alling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It would have worked better if you'd hit the bullseye. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdm

Re: PESO: Sort of. My first love.

Great pic Paul. It brings back memories to me as well, but only from a rank amateur's perspective. I was out in the CA Mojave desert in Ridgecrest from 62 to 64. Bought my first car, a 62 Impala SS that I eventually modified and ran as a C Modified Production. It was a dog because of the Powerglide

Re: PESO: Patrick O. Ford

Interesting. In many ways I guess the reaction mimicks what I have encountered many times as a photographer. There are times that I simply hold the camera at my side and watch. Some things are not meant to be photographed, at least by me. Thanks for the link! Walt > Odd how we were just talking a

Yeah, well, er, maybe so. But, you did a pretty good job on that saxaphone afterall. So, there. :-) Walt On 1/13/08, John Francis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ah, but I'm in the same area as Bruce (as are quite a few of the other > listmembers). So by your logic, we should all be doing as

Re: PESO - Light Rays

I really like that one! Actually, I really like most of what you shoot. I keep telling myself that it all has to do with where you are, not that you are a good photographer. So, there... Walt ;-) On 1/13/08, Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I had the opportunity today to wander around a

I tried to up load a file of slightly less than 300k. It is being rejected for file size. What are the size requirements? Walt On 1/12/08, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey, gang. I need a few more submissions. The theme is "Tis the > season", and I know you took some pics over th

Re: PESO: Patrick O. Ford

Yes, I agree about Maya. I think she had so many things against her back then. She was a young woman, Asian, and relatively unknown in the field. There were probably others. I remember one of the strongest objections was the fact that it was essentially underground. Folks were used to the imposing

Re: PESO - Bel Air (2)

Toralf, that looks almost like a Nomad rear. Was it a station wagon? If so I never know they made a wagon with the Bel Air name. Nice B&W rendition. Is the grain added? Walt On 1/12/08, Toralf Lund <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just thought I might show you the other end of the old Chevy in the > J
