Looks like he's more up Reggie's alley than mine. I was reminded of some of
Reggie's candid portrait work around Atlanta. Hey, did you ever get a
chance to give a good look at those Chihuly exhibit photos I sent?

While it is not your cup of tea for your photos, Sebastiao is very good.
I wish I could capture the emotion as well as he did.

In pop music, they call what Reggie tries to do in photography "cover"
or "tribute,"

From wiki:

Cover bands play songs written and recorded by other artists, usually
well-known songs (as compared to "original" bands which play music they
themselves have written). There are a wide variety of cover bands - some
cover bands play material from particular decades, for example a 1980s
cover band. Others focus exclusively on the music of a particular group,
usually iconic groups, and are called tribute bands: it is not uncommon
to find Led Zeppelin tribute bands, Pink Floyd tribute bands, Aerosmith
tribute bands, or U2 tribute bands. Some cover bands will play a variety
of song styles, of widely different artists, genres and decades. Another
type of cover band is one that covers songs in a different genre or
style than that of the original composition (e.g., jazz versions of what
were originally hard rock songs).

Cover bands are very popular for weddings and corporate events, as well
as in bars and clubs because they play many songs guests are familiar with.

BWAAAHAAAA!!!! Your lover/clone/master has been caught SEVERAL times
stealing other's copyrighted pictures and posting them here as his
own! I've never seen Reggie do that. And Reggie's photo's are very
good quality, and Harry's is just plain, unless it's not his.

I didn't say Waylon posts others pictures as his... he sees their work,
takes their notes and technical details to re-produces the same picture.
That particular one from out west with the bizarre rock formations was
exactly the same...there must be an 'X' marked in the dirt to instruct the
pseudo photographers where to stand.

Roger that. I don't subscribe to Netflix, but I'm being cajoled into

so by Mrs. G. I looked up those titles on Amazon, and at $35-40 per disc,
rental is the way to go. Re photography shows, I enjoy watching Art
Wolfe's
"Travels to the Edge" on PBS. Art's a photog out of Seattle that is
sponsored by Cannon. He's fortunate to travel to all sorts of interesting
places around the globe and shoot them with very expensive gear.
Unfortunately, the show doesn't really get into any of the technical
stuff,
but it succeeds at least as well as a travel show as much as a photography
show, due to the fab locations.

I've seen some of his images - I totally agree.

If you get a chance, look up Sebastiao Salgado on the Intertubes.

Yeah - I did.

Good stuff. Love the colors.

Very intersting exhibit.

It thought it was interesting, too. I thought you might enjoy it. It was a
terrific exercise for HDR shooting and processing.

I'm still wrapping my brain around HDR - are you using a seperate
program or the one inside CS4?

I understand the concept - I just can't seem to make it work right
for some reason.

Perhaps YOU need to keep up. *I* said that Harry has been caught in
the act of stealing copywritten work and posting it as his own, and
Reggie has never been caught doing so. YOU said that Reggie copies
other people's work. In fact, learning from the masters is how
educating yourself works. Did you learn to read without anyone who
already knew how to read helping you? In fact, have you figured out
YET what continent you live on?

No it's not. Did you even bother to look at the EXIF data? Do you even

I use a separate program. I don't know if CS4 has improved on CS3 as far as
it's built-in HDR feature, but if it hasn't I can understand your
frustration. I am completely unimpressed by Photoshop's automated HDR
function. If you're willing to do it manually by using layers and masks,
then good results can be obtained, but it's a lot of work and very time
consuming.

I use Photomatix Pro. It's available as a free trial via a very small
download by today's standards (about 3mb)www.hdrsoft.com. The trial is
fully functional without a time limit, but it will put a watermark on the
final output image until you buy the license key for $99.

I import bracketed raw images directly into Photomatix for processing,
although tif files work too, and I think maybe even jpgs. I'll tell you
what, if you want to email me a set of bracketed raw files that you've been
working with, I'll process them for you and send you an HDR jpg back for
review. You may need to send the raw files in separate emails, depending on
size. Cox doesn't allow attachments larger than about 6mb per email. If
you want to do this, send a set of files that cover a wide dynamic range.
Email me if you want to discuss further.
