The darkness in the bottom pic I would say is due to underexposure and poor lighting. The nature of the lighting I took my pic in was more of an ambient, warm light which will increase the perceptions of browns. I some of the focus was on getting the baccy light enough to see good texture too. I also combined four or five photos to get a precise depth of field, so the in-focus parts and increased texture may make it look lighter. Or is may just be younger. Tin was bought in Nov. and opened in Dec. I have three more tins, so we'll see what the next one looks like. Gotta smoke through this stuff first though. :) -Tyler |

Re: The picture thread
Hope no offense was taken by my posts Tyler! You have far more superior photo skills then I, as I have none! Your photo looks awesome, I just thought it didn't really look like penzance as I have come to know it, which brought curiosity along with it..
No harm meant! :) |

Re: The picture thread
For comparison purposes, here is the picture I posted:
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...c/Penzance.jpg And here an unprocessed jpeg from one of the RAW (digital negative) files the above photo was made from. This jpeg was taken one stop underexposed from what the camera read as correct exposure. http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/7614/tlm1039se4.jpg You can see how the tone enhancements have altered the tobac color a bit. I used a WB setting of around 5000 or 5500k, so it is slightly warmer than what the camera AWB selected, somewhere around 4000k. -Tyler |
Re: The picture thread

Here is a blurry shot of my entire cellar up to this point. Slippery slope indeed! I just got started with the pipe last Sept, and really didn't get hard into it till about October!!

Re: The picture thread
That's a good bit of tobacco for sure.

Re: The picture thread
What beautiful pics of your guys pipes. I don't smoke a pipe but have fond memories of my dad smoking his. Have thought about giving it a go but another slop just might kill me. :D
To show just what kind of a pipe noob I am, is there NC and CC slopes to pipe smoking? Again, thank you for the great pics and bringing back some great memories of my dad. Al |

there are other types of tobaccos, though, and hundreds of blends in each type. so, if you fell down the "Virginia Slope", as opposed to the "Balkan Slope", then yes, there are different slopes. |
Re: The picture thread
what you marking those with Big D? I need a better system, mine are all hand written on post it notes...

Re: The picture thread
Brother PTouch label printer! I have an older one that is similar to the "desktop" series. You can find more about them here: http://www.brother-usa.com/PTouch/
I love mine and I use the hell out of it for all manner of things! |

With that said there are two slopes, tobacco and pipe. With pipe tobacco being relatively cheap compared to cigars, in my opinion anyway. You will buy multiples of tins and tobacco in bulk. Why buy 1 tin when you can buy 3 or more? Why buy 2 ounces, when they sell it by the pound? There is also the pipe slope, which if not watched is pricey. |
