Hi gang.

I shot about 360 photos at this years plow demo with the old horse
drawn equipment. I've had a quick look and processed these three for
starters.
How's that Doug.;-)

Look kind of like those hand tinted turn-of-the-century (twentieth) 
post-cards, especially the first one. It's sort of a super saturated 
color effect like the old View Master slides. Very nice.

Hmm - I hadn't noticed, although many were taken at the end of the day. 
Late sunlight and sandstone = yellow!

Thanks for looking and the kind comment.

 Hi Brian:  I agree with Joe.  This is a stunning collection of pictures. 
 The light and composition all work to make each picture so interesting. 
 I 
 didn't think I'd be able to pick a favorite of the bunch, but then I saw 
 your Regatta picture.  Wow!  Beautiful.Make sure you show this 
 collection to folks in the area.  You've put together a nice piece of 
 history which I'm sure would make for a great exhibit about town or a
 book. 
 Beautiful, beautiful work.  One thing though:  I didn't get the original 
 post to this.  You posted this today, right?  or No?  Cheers, Christine




Don't know why you didn't see the original post.  I sent it just after
10PM Thursday (Sydney time) and it came into my mailbox a minute or so
later.  The original post is also in the archives.  A mystery.

The Regatta picture took a bit of work.  I wanted to shoot late in the
day to get the late sun on the face of the bridge.  Unfortunately, when
I got to the site I realised that the sun was setting too far north (if
I'd looked at The Photographer's Ephemeris, I would have known this
beforehand).  So, Plan B was to combine two images, one exposed for the
sky and the other exposed for the bridge.  Thankfully I had my tripod
with me

Thanks for the kind words.

OT: Tales from the bike shed

2010-07-16 Thread Bob W
A couple of interesting stories for the PDML Bike SIG:

Jon Snow, a well-known TV news anchorman who made his name reporting the
Vietnam war, is also the president of the CTC (Cyclists' Touring Club,
oldest cycling org in the world). He's had his bike stolen (again!) from
outside his office. So it can happen to anyone. He's offering a £1,000
reward for its return. It's a hand-built titanium Condor.
http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/uk/wheelie+bad+jon+snow8217s+bike+sto
len++again/3709197

What is perhaps more interesting and useful for us mortals is a site called
http://bikeshd.co.uk/ which is an aggregator of Bike For Sale notices
posted on Gumtree and eBay - a useful place to look if your own bike is
nicked.

Also, 13th July was the anniversary of the death, from an excess of special
go-faster cycling sherbet, of British rider Tom Simpson in 1967's Tour de
France. There's a World Service radio programme about it on iPlayer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p008hffq/Witness_Tragedy_on_the_Tour_d
e_France/

Believe I prefer the one you identify as having a better sky.
I can't, however, get past the blue-gray rocks or the slightly sepia toned sky. 
Obviously not all monitors or rods and cones will see it the same.
BW might be preferable.(?)

If you are really keen on the sepia, yes, this one is better except 
there is one little cloud up there that looks more like a blotch

ont the neg...

I prefer the color one - but it looks a tad over sharpened and over 
saturated...  


I just have the feeling your real _original_ is the silk purse  ;-)

Well, I think the original is preferable. There's some detail in the
treeline whereas in the other versions, the treeline is pretty much a
dark, elongated blob.

I'm not all that keen on sepia so I may be a bit prejudiced in
commenting, but if you like that sort of treatment, trying to bring out
a bit more detail in the sky of your first post would improve it, I
think.

It just occurred to me it's been way too long time since I showed you 
any pictures, so here is one:


http://www.toralf.net/bilde.php?navn=sollerud6b

Nothing more than a snapshot, really, but I must say I'm a bit 
fascinated by all the cruise ships that visit us every summer. Perhaps 
especially the ones among them that has a bit of history. This one is 
apparently the last ocean liner that was built for Den Norske 
Amerikalinje (The Norwegian America Line) - so some time early in the 
seventies, you might have seen it at exactly the same spot on it's way 
to New York as part of the regular transatlantic passenger service. 
Although the company was probably about to give up that business at the 
time this ship was delivered, to focus on cruises instead.


An uncropped version:

Re: PESO: Lake Edith, Jasper National Park

2010-07-16 Thread Tom C
Having been there myself, I have only one basic observation that is
not meant to be a critique or negative... e.g. don't feel bad because
of what I write. OK? Here goes.

The image, in any tone, color, sepia, gray-scale, does not capture the
ambience and natural beauty that fills that area.  IMO, it is way too
wide an angle of a shot. The mountains are beautiful and the water is
beautiful in that place. I haven't looked at anything but the original
offering.

There is too much water, too little mountains, and the colors are
lost. and that's what adds so much beauty to the Canadian Rockies.

If you live near there, go back often. :-)

  This is one of the few 'serious' photographic attempts that I've made
  in a while. It's inspired by those photos that are often found in
  mountain resort lodges, such as the Jasper Park Lodge where I was
  staying.  This is my favourite photograph to take, and I want to get
  better at it.
 
  What do you think?
 
  --
  Michael Hamilton
 
 
 
  Could we compare it to the unphotoshopped version?

 Okay, here are a couple more to compare:

 http://www.michaelhamilton.ca/images/MHlakeedith2.jpg (better sky
 colour, less sepia, adjusted horizon angle)
 http://www.michaelhamilton.ca/images/MHlakeedithorig.jpg (original,
 slight boost in blues, sharpening, etc)

 Thanks for your suggestions and comments so far! I've made a few
 improvements that I like already.



 Well, I think the original is preferable. There's some detail in the
 treeline whereas in the other versions, the treeline is pretty much a
 dark, elongated blob.

 I'm not all that keen on sepia so I may be a bit prejudiced in
 commenting, but if you like that sort of treatment, trying to bring out
 a bit more detail in the sky of your first post would improve it, I
 think.


 Cheers

 Brian
