Hi Everyone, I've just watched an incredible documentary on the life of Ansel Adams and am soooo inspired by it! I highly recommend it for anyone interested...
Know that you'll have to do more than just "convert to greyscale" to achieve some decent B&Ws. A lot of greyscale converts just doesn't seem to have much...
finally added some new photos to the new photos folder. they were taken at the october agility trial in bar harbor, maine. The dogs pictured do not belong to...
Hi Virginia, Well, it's been about 24 hours and nobody has replied, so here goes. Keep in mind that I'm not the resident (or non-resident for that matter)...
Would love comments on this, I just caught them peeping out the door. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Better_Digital_Photography/photos/album/1877741269/pic/list...
I'm just messin with Greg LOL I think it looks good in a field of flowers. But he is right about the cut and paste job, things need to match better kinda...
That's a real nice shot of the dogs looking out the door, a doggy portrait as they would say LOL the only thing I would do is maybe burn in the head of the...
My immediate reaction was it's cute. Great lighting balance between the dark colored dog and the white dog (Bichon?) -- not always an easy thing to accomplish....
A quick snap of my cousin's bike, in his small garage! No way to get a different angle,etc. It was pretty pathetic, when printed. I thought it would be fun...
Hi Bert, I could go on and on about biking and such, but perhaps this should lean a bit more towards photography :-) so I'll attempt to steer the course. The...
Hi Virginia, Outside of this helpful and supportive group, never never never imply that your photography is pathetic -- it's artsy :-) You were bringing out...
Hi Bert, Nice bike. Well done image. Those flowers are OK, 'cause you can use em for wine and salads :-) :-) I thought the Royal Star was used for touring...
Thank you for your comments. I have posted the same shot with three different treatments in Post processing Folder. The first is the one I posted in New shots,...
Thank you. The photo was pathetic! In a small garage, not an appropriate place for a photo of a wild machine, but, my cousin happily cooperated by getting on...
Oh "O's" gonna hate us LOL but hey it gives him something to do. (right O) I drove by that field of daisy's many times took some pictures of just the field and...
Virginia, We are hear to teach & learn, but at the end of the day, it's all about the beholder of the image. Sometimes photography is like wine -- if YOU like...
I agree! I eluded to this in my original post on this photo. We often are drilled that you need to "get in close", and this is often true. Many times in order...
This is tough sometimes. The worst is that many times the windows are all scratched up. The best tip is to experiment and shoot a lot -- one of those cases ...
Hi Richard, Excellent advice from Kevin. I just have two little things I'd like to add. Use a large aperture (small number) to reduce the apparent effect of...
Thanks I can eliminate Scratches by opening the window. Flying the plane and taking pictures at the same time may not be safe but with proper trim settings It...
Ha ha ha, there's a twist I didn't see coming :-) I have a friend who aerial photographs farms by removing the side door, but somebody else does the driving...
I did google it, If he was a skilled pilot why was he breaking the law I pulled up the NTSB Report. A link to it is below. His medical certificate was expired ...
