A couple HDRs:

 

Great images! I know the basic theory of HDR and its multiple exposure, but am sadly ignorant of how such images are best combined in Photoshop. Can you recommend any on-line instruction on best work-flow procedures to maintain luminance and so on? Thanks.

Sincerely, beak.

I love the stuff that's showing up here! I've been away a few days on a trip to Mountain View, Arkansas-interesting town where my father grew up. Took a few pictures while I was there. This is one I took along a sidewalk:

Thanks! I didn't use photoshop but used a plugin for the HDRs - Nik software's HDR Efex Pro.

Hi spiv!

i like your headlamp photo. You do the development of Ilford HP5 yourself?

 

No, not so far, but that is a future goal...

jon, that mill machinery photo is pretty cool. I especially like the lichen on the wheel. Nice shot!

Happily sliding down the slippery slope of fountain pen acquisition disorder.

Thanks! I also did a black & white of the same subject, but I haven't done much digital b & w, so I'm not as happy with it, especially when I see what other people here are able to do! Anyway, here it is:

I reworked it, and it should show up in my edited post (might have to clear your cache). Or go here: http://www.flickr.co...6/?reuploaded=1 . Any better? I really do need to practice a lot with B/W.

Nice b/w from New Orleans, Sonia! All your pictures have me wanting to make a visit... or maybe when it cools down a bit... It's been too long, and it would be nice to have coffee and beignets (sp?) at the Cafe du Monde.

 

Just to keep the thread going, another picture from China that I liked:

New Orleans is such a beautiful city in terms of architecture, it does remind me somehow to European cities. Yes, it is beignets. And thank God we're having rain here to cool us down from the scorching weather.

Now, Arkansas is gorgeous for its karst regions and underground caves. I loved north AK and it reminded me much of the karst region back in home, Puerto Rico.

 

I like that photo of the men chatting.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen. 
    • A Smug Dill
      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
