RE: A note for the aspiring travel photographer
Not needed if you've used AirBnB or similar (and kept the paperwork/messages)! But, I would suggest taking a shot of the church/museum/palace etc. name., as it is easy to forget which is which when only seeing interiors.

I've found that digital removes all reasons for an improperly exposed image and allows me to try variations on compositions that I probably wouldn't attempt with film. -Original Message- >From: John >Subject: Re: A note for the aspiring travel photographer > >Looking back from 9 years on, I didn't take enough photos when I visited China >in 2010. > >Even though I'd been shooting Digital for seven years by then, I think I was >still stuck with the film mentality of only having 36 frames max and for a >once >in a lifetime trip you can't afford to waste a shot. > >I'm still struggling with that. > >On 1/29/2019 15:23:15, l...@red4est.com wrote: >> Heh! >> K-1 >> >> But there are definitely advantages to the visual, just looking at photos, >> especially if lighten stops talking to Google maps or something >> >> On January 29, 2019 12:00:40 PM PST, Ralf R Radermacher >> wrote: >>> Am 29.01.19 um 20:26 schrieb John: When you get to some exotic location, take a photo of the hotel - >>> front door, street address, etc. It will help tremendously later when you're trying reassemble your >>> trip itinerary & figure out where you've been (especially 9 or 10 years >>> later). >>> >>> That would be the lo-tech solution. >>> >>> I've been travelling with a portable Garmin GPS unit for the last ten >>> plus years. >>> >>> Back at home, I simply tag all photos with the GPS position where >>> they've been taken.

Re: A note for the aspiring travel photographer
Looking back from 9 years on, I didn't take enough photos when I visited China in 2010. Even though I'd been shooting Digital for seven years by then, I think I was still stuck with the film mentality of only having 36 frames max and for a once in a lifetime trip you can't afford to waste a shot. I'm still struggling with that. On 1/29/2019 15:23:15, l...@red4est.com wrote: Heh!

Re: PESO 2019 - 012 - GDG
Thanks for coming out to my show. It was fun checking out your bike, quite the machine. The big seller at the show were my fancy postcards. I get them printed on poster board at Costco, them cut them to 4x6. I bought a rubber stamp for the back. I sold several of them at $5 each. My high profit items were plain 4x6 prints where I sold a couple at $2 each. The prints are still up in Saratoga. Folks seemed to be impressed by them, but not impressed enough to buy any. Oh well.

PESO 2019 - 012 - GDG
On Sunday afternoon, I took a nice long bicycle ride to Saratoga to visit a friend's "Meet the Artist" event. Getting there was definitely half the fun … Saratoga is at 500' elevation relative to Santa Clara—an uphill climb all the way, the last third pretty steep as you get into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountain. But worth it: It was good to see Larry in person again and enjoy his photographs. I snapped a portrait while there with my Polaroid… didn't want to use flash so it's not as sharp as it might be (and a little warm due to the color of the interior light), but I like the feel of it more than what flash does in a portrait: https://flic.kr/p/23SsjfD I particularly liked the group of photos that Larry had printed onto metal: They have very intense color and depth, they pop like good Cibachrome prints did back in the day. A starscape made up in Shasta county printed this way was really beautiful, as were several of the still life photos. Very nice work, Larry! The ride home, of course, went MUCH faster with all that downhill … makes me giggle to sit there in top gear spinning lightly at 95 rpm while the cycle is flying down the road at 23 mph. No effort at all! Returning to the flat of the lower valley, spinning along at 75 to 80 rpm and cruising at about 15 mph seems almost a let down after that, but there was still fun to be had in navigating the complex pedestrian crossing over Interstate 280 on the homeward route. 21 miles, 2 hours and 15 minutes riding time, 500' elevation change, 1500 calories burned… Yes, it was time for water and food when I got home! :) enjoy!
