It's all well and good to talk about not improving nature and non-photoshopping, but the simple fact is that almost all photographs are manipulated in some way and for a person who in theory takes a lot of photographs for publications and such and relys on his ability to take a "natural" photograph, I'd like to see the results of this technique.

I am going to break my self-imposed rule here by posting these, but here's a couple of "natural" pictures of our barn and house that I think came out pretty good. They are not artistic statements, but I just like them. They were taken late in the daytime, so the afternoon shadows and directional lighting are coming into play. Nikon D70s with "borrowed" Mrs.E. lens. All I have done was to resize them in InfranView to a manageable size for posting on the website. http://www.eisboch.com/largebarn.jpg http://www.eisboch.com/barnandhouse.jpg Eisboch Lview has some great cropping tools, and a 'custom/fine rotation' tool that allows you to 'level' a picture. So does Paint Shop Pro.

Eisboch I'll be delighted to mail you a publication with a dozen or so of my photos on the cover and inside. Some of the photos are very good, and a couple are just ordinary. None were "photoshopped." This does not mean they were untouched. When I say photoshopping, I am not referring to a bit of dusting and cleaning and color fixing where there is a problem. By photoshopping, I mean photos that are transformed from one life form into another. Again, there's nothing wrong with that, either. I just don't much like photos that are obviously grossly different from what was seen and photographed. |

I really don't know who he is, we used to have a regular who posted under the name Harry Krause, but I don't know who Harry Assholes is. This boater guy does seem very obsessed with most of the people in rec.boats. He makes more negative posts about other people than everyone else combined. I think he suffers from low self esteem and shows classic symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He also uses the name hk and HK. And...like a good joke (or a pile of dog poop), he gets lots of attention. -- John Salmonbait Is that the fifth or sixth snark attack today from the poster known as HErring the Asshole? ...dog **** on a sidewalk. -- John Salmonbait That's a perfect description for an asshole as obsessed as you are.

Might want to use sharpening unmask control to make it a little more sharp without compromising the over all effect. As it's a fairly large image, a couple of crops would take the one image and turn it into two - starting on the right, go jus to the left of the tree with the broken branch - snip it and paste it as a new image. You could also crop to just below the wall and leave that as it is. That would be really neat looking. Might want to convert it out to grayscale - not sure how that would go and I wouldn't presume to try it for you, but the effect would be startling. http://www.monkeybutler.com/tmp/COPYDSC_2317.JPG This could have been a good one, but the focus problem with the berries closest to the lens kind of ruins the over all effort. If you look at it center on, the out of focus berries confuse the eye against the background. A macro lens would have been a real help here. Great composition though - just a couple of minor issues that mess it up. http://www.monkeybutler.com/tmp/COPYDSC_6251.JPG Just my opinion you understand. Must live out west of me or maybe a little NW. We didn't get any of that here in the NE corner of CT. |

Why don't we bury it in ditches with the wire's run in PVC conduit? $$$ Pure and simple. I am sure it made sense back in the 30's and 40's but the voltage in those days was a lot lower than it is today. Our house is fed with a single, buried coaxial cable about an inch in diameter. (looks like a bigger version of a RG-6 cable company cable). The voltage is 13,500 volts or higher. It terminates in a step-down transformer located near the house. It's a bit scary to think that those "telephone" poles are carrying that kind of voltage, exposed to wind, weather, etc. Eisboch |
