This picture of the house's upper stories shows a porch that mimics : a pilot house and chimneys resembling the gaudy smokestacks of the most : opulent Mississippi River steamers. It's possible to put the caption in the Windows "comments" field of the file. (I tested it today with a much longer piece of text than any caption I've seen in the SI.) I wonder if it would then be displayed automatically. Probably a bit far-fetched. But if you like, I could send you a picture set up that way, and you could test it. Sure. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Certainly the Panoramio placement is obvious, just curious as to the missing blue Pbase "view map" link typically found directly below the file label. It must be my fading eyesight. perhaps you could tell me where I could find said link. BTW: I notice that there seems to be quite a few submissions where the EXIF data has been stripped for no apparent reason, this one for example, no EXIF, & not "view map" link. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/144609644/large -- Regards, Savageduck |

[SI] Pairs, etc - Cooper's Comments on in-house shots

She and I met a week or so later in St Augustine where she shot the birds from our table when we were having lunch at a waterfront cafe. Not to be outdone, her husband - Dave - came up with his drops of water on a flower in their backyard. Most of his photography is photographs of surfers (They live a few blocks from the ocean), so he found a pattern in the waves. This photo was excessively sharpened to accent the water pattern to the right. Blame me if you don't like it, because I taught them Photoshop processing techniques. I've been taking my daughter out on what we call a "Photo Safari" since she was wee. The one thing I've emphasized most is seeing the photograph. One exercise we used to do was going somewhere, stopping at random, and finding something to photograph from that spot. She's turned out to have a good eye. Congratulations on a successful parenting mission. On my shots... The Lorikeets really are a very bright bird color-wise. (Check out web images) However, I used a flash because they were in the back of the enclosure, and no bouncing surface was available. Consequently, I've got almost-blowout from flash effect on the feathers. f/4 1/125th. Saturation was not kicked in post. All I can say is, regardless of cause, the final effect is one of both birds appearing over saturated to the point of being unpleasant. Perhaps there might have been a fix available in post. I am sure it is possible to reach a better solution. The marmosets are about the size of a hamster. They have very, very fine hair, so the flash washed out the fur a bit. f/5.3 1/125th. Again, nothing to bounce off. The marmosets are a tough shot to capture under those circumstances. Both shots taken at the Melbourne Zoo on a camera club field trip. Two other photographers in the group snapped the marmosets and had the same flash effect in their shots. A third person shot without flash, but ended up with a blurred shot. My memories of Melbourne date back to February 1974 when I got the worst Sunburn of my life at India Atlantic Beach. The railroad track shot is a color shot reduced to black and white just using Threshold. It wasn't converted to black and white first. Just playing around with processing. As I noted: Tony Cooper: Pairs-02: Interesting harsh contrast B&W treatment of a pair of tracks. Now this borders on being a B&W abstract. Be kind to my kid. I think if you check my comments, I did just that; ClearyC: Pairs-01: A nice capture of a pair of chicks being fed by a parent. Great capture. Pairs-02: Great capture of the pair of Dragonflies. The detail in the Dragonflies and their lacy wings is good and balanced by the background and OOF areas. Good work. Pairs-03: Nice flower macro producing a very organic pattern. Greens and yellows nicely offset by the grey background. DaveC: Pairs-01: Very nice pair of drops with reflections, all enhanced by the soft green background. Pairs-02: Great ripple pattern on the surface, and the pair of breakers separated by the soon to be closed out peak. -- Regards, Savageduck |
