Sorry these are so low res, none of em are over 60kb, skranked them off of FB since I had to format my flash drive.

Up and comer, Marcella Simien, daughter of the Zydeco great Terrance, living in Memphis and earning a living playing
music. As wonderful a young lady as you could ask for, pretty unique as a performer, and right now, I think a little
conflicted as to whether or not its even POSSIBLE to make a living at music. I hope she stays with it. Enjoy Marcella
and Her Lovers.

No sweat, conversation was always about quality. Thanks for the comments on composition — I kinda dig it too. And I especially hate the red LEDs. They always seem to make the sensor take a crap.

Re: Photography Thread
 

P.S. you guys have posted some really nice frames in here in the past 24 hours. Great to see the thread come alive again.

A photo I took sometime after midnight downtown Toronto during Nuit Blanche. I call it "Urban Forest"

I spotted the forest!
Nice shot, very appealing.

I got to town late in the day one spring weekend in NOLA, and arrived at the river just in time to see a sunset cruise
take off down the river. I have shot a LOT of NOLA, but this hour was a first for me, and I scrambled like an ant trying
to make 15 locations happen at once, but eventually the light faded and I got back to doing what I always seem to do there.

Camera on tripod (obviously!), bulb shutter speed, f10, ISO100, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens. And focus was manually set at or near infinity.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I was just sharing it in case someone needed one. That's as cheap as I have ever seen one.
But alas, when I consider the specs of this camera I have wanted for two years, it is clear I no longer need one.
I have two D700s and a D600, a D7000, a Canon 5D and various and sundry trunk cameras of ancient pedigree.
But I am sure there is someone here that could use it's weather sealing, rip-roaring frame rate, decent ISO range
for an old model, and all around quasi-pro features.

Beautiful photographs above Ron:tu

My wife traveled out to Ventura, CA this morning to meet a girlfriend for lunch, and later shot this with her little Kodak:

Looking West out from the Ventura jetty towards the Channel Islands. That's possibly Anacapa Island in the distance...

That new Ford GT is gorgeous. Thanks for the pic.

Nice frame Ron!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Does anyone have experience with converting old black and white negatives and slides over to digital? I plan on using my old Canon XS. I have an older X-ray veiwer to back-light the negatives and I'm getting extension tubes in leiu of a macro lens. I'm hoping to just get decent shots of the negatives and process them in GIMP after. Most of these negatives and glass slides are from the 40's and 50's. My Granfather, his brothers and their father were all into photography, so I have thousands of individual pics to do.

My main concern is getting the right settings when taking pics of the negatives. Would it be better to shoot in monocrome, or color? What light balance would be best? I'm shooting in RAW for sure but starting out with the optimal settings would save me tons of time in the long run.

I've tried a few sample shots without the extension tubes so I'm sure I can get a better, closer shot the negatives later when they show up in the mail. My first tries were at f8, 1/125, 100ISO and auto white balance.

Here's a sample of my first try:

And after inverting the color and auto-balance in GIMP:

Re: Photography Thread
 

I used a pacific Image "scanner" to take care of my slides and negatives, not the best idea available, but I was not
spending what they wanted for a good one, not by a long shot. I can't really "recommend" one, but they are the
cheaper alternative and they DO work.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Young JEEZY-us, did you SEE what Canon stuffed into a DSLR this week?
50MP into a full frame sensor. I am just smacked in the a55.
Glad I don't mess with Canon. SOMEONE needs this camera, just not me.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I did a lot of this with film, once upon a time: Copy stand, light box (your X-Ray viewer), monochrome (In case it's not daylight balanced), be viciously clean to avoid specks and be aware that those old emulsions were pretty thick; meter it out. Baring that, a lot of labs provide negative scanning services.

It's too bad that equipment and chemicals for B&W printing have become pretty scarce. I could have a small cottage industry. B&W was actually pretty easy to do..

I have given Photo-bukkit up, they are just awful now...of course they only did waht Flickr did and everyone else WILL do,
change to be someone other than who they are.

Got one window to bolt down to NOLA on a WEEK'S vacation where I wanted to shoot long days
in NOLA and long days in The Smokies. Got 6 days worth of my HOUSE. Everywhere there were
photos was icy and cold. Waste of vacation.

I setup a classy cigar selfie last night in my dining room. For the photography geeks, I have a 3' softbox with strobe camera left 45 deg, 1/200, f/8 ISO 200. Remote shutter...

Not bad considering I was guessing the focus spot. :)

Great job!

Re: Photography Thread
 

at f/8 you can guess...

Another NOLA shot...why oh why did I not see the photo in the photo?
I would have loved to have a higher res shot of just the window with
the street sign shadow.
