The photo of the Sorce del Clitonno is like an Impressionist painting. It's
absolutely stunning.

My photography wouldn't stand a second's comparison with those! But I must
admit that last year I kicked myself for constantly forgetting the camera
when nearby fields were full of rape and linseed in flower - it was the most
fabulous sight.

People do cruise and comment. I have to look at theirs before
deciding whether to pay attention.
Why would I want anyone else than you? I haven't got to the point of
asking, but I might, occasionally. I realize I am still making
postcards, but then I mostly shoot food and cooking.
Here are a couple I do like, taken from my kitchen.

I just looked at one as my unmetered dial up has been replaced by non
functioning broadband for the moment. Photosig would say the sky is
overexposed and you need to use a grad ND and PS out the cable. For
your food photos you *might* pick up some actually useful advice.
The "advantage" of people you dont know can be objectivity, but if you
are getting feedback from those groups its probably good enough. I
view Photosig critiques as accurate when full of praise and ignorant
of true art when not.:-)

Good attitude!
I am afraid that I will not be buying a better, more up to date
camera, and to do more than I do would require that, so I must just
improve choices and composition. You must have seen only the dawn
one, which of course is problematic because I am shooting right into
the sun. The other two are versions of one photo, the one at the top
of my webpage.
When I bought this camera it was pretty darned good technology, but it
has been surpassed some years back. It is about nine years old, and
still working. As am I.

Nine? I had you down as a consenting adult!
On cameras you cant really beat an SLR for versatility. The digital
side is a bit silly at the moment with more megapixels coming out
every day. You can probably get an old film SLR for peanuts, but how
long will film be viable and you then need an expensive scanner. But
at least you can always buy exactly the lense you need for the job,
which I assume for food is something like a 100mm macro. I notice for
landscape a lot of people are still using large format film cameras to
get quality.

In my editing class, after a comma a following reference can only
refer to anything before the comma by direction. Hooie on you.
There is a fellow on FlickR who is using a pinhole camera! Cool!
That was our first project in my Uni class, and I was convinced it was
all rot. But you can do some terrific things with that crude device.
He does color, which I didn't think you could do.
I appreciate the heck out of some of the things people can do with
photos these days. This multi-exposure thing can be gorgeous, but
that's art. I play sometimes with making skies red and trees blue,
but when I take the shot all I am really trying to do is reproduce
something. If I want it to be a painting, I generally get out the
paints. I plan to bumble along with what I have for as long as it
holds up.
I bracket plated shots a lot, but when something is cooking, that's
close to impossible unless you can see that you got steamed up. Every
week I have to use microfiber cloths to clean microscopically thin
films of fats off all the glass parts. I have to correct the blue and
gray out of most winter interior shots. Ilva of LucullianDelights
takes her food OUTSIDE and shoots in natural light. It pays, but I
have to eat this stuff! One single tortello is a fine photo, if it is
well composed and doesn't end up too anatomic.

just to annoy you, my new pentax K10 can auto bracket 5 exposures and/
or auto bracket things like colour temperature.
I didnt know you painted, what did you do . oil, watercolour? I used

Oils, but now the water soluble oils. I am working on a group of

Yes, as they look different in every room and at every time of day.
But there is hope - sort of. There is such a thing as 'colour management',
which is a way of keeping colours consistent between different monitors
and printers. The idea is that every picture carries around a definition
of the 'colour space' used to produce it, then when it gets displayed or
printed, the computer doing it can make a correction for the output
device. On the output side, it's pretty comprehensively implemented on
Macintosh computers, less so on Windows. I'm not entirely sure how you get
colour-managed pictures out of a digital camera - they might do it by
default.
These days, most hardware of any sort uses a standard colour space called
sRGB, so there's a fighting chance that a picture taken with a modern
camera will appear colour-accurate on-screen without you having to do
anything (on a Mac, at least, or a modern Windows machine).

Lord, now you want me to buy a new computer and Reid wants me to get a
new camera and a bunch of lenses. I am a poor country girl, you

While I got the drift of your words, I don't have a single thought

frankly.
I could try photographing some things where they are, but then you get
distracted by surroundings. When I did miatures, I could have scanned
them.

only trouble is many monitors, mine included, don't have sophisticated
colour adjustment to match SRGB or Adobe tests or printers test cards.

I am not purchasing anything more. I have three photo programs and it
gets stupid juggling them.
I have a new 1 yr old monitor that I adore. It is the best I have
ever had. Samsung Syncmaster 910mp, it is also an LCD TV receiver.
although I have never hooked it up to the antenna.
I will work on composition and seeing beyond postcard views!

As someone whose first original furniture design was ripped off and
manufactured (and I wouldn't even own up to that piece now! Very
70s), I am fastidious about not stealing intellectual property.
To me it would be equal to walking into the camera shop and stealing
the one I wanted.

americans are more fastidious about software theft, (PS do a home
version and a student version). Trouble is the home version is IMHO
awkward and missing some features the amateur wants. As I didnt steal
my camera and function as a minor photography business......
But 600 is a lot. I suspect your paying for the thieves share. As with
everything.

But deserts make gorgeous photographs ! I also like to photograph
cool places when it is hot. That's how I did the Sorce del Clitunno
photo. The shots I did at Trevi above the Sorce shimmer with heat.
It was about 104° F that day, but in that antique glade one had
gooseflesh.

That should happen in software, though. On a Mac, you can certainly tell
the OS what your video setup is, and it will do the appropriate
correction; there's a manual calibration method you can do with your eyes,
so you don't need fancy instruments or exact specifications. No ida about
Windows, though.

It would have been nice if more had offered collective sites of their
surroundings. Amazingly almost every area has collections of amateur
photographs online. FlickR has been an amazing discovery for me.

<rambling on alert>
I was amazed by google earth etc yesterday. The tiny place of Cofete,
on an otherwise deserted beach, (an hour+ of hairpin bends and
precipieces from the nearest metalled road) has lots of photos, 3d
images and an entry in wikipedia for it and the winter villa. (the
long deserted Winter villa was bulit in 1944-5 by a german in the most
inaccessible spot imaginable, it has an airstrip, it was in a germany
symathetic country half way to south america.......... you can read on
the web how it has barracks and operating theatres (plastic surgery?)
and an underground (underwater shirley?) submarine pen . The airstrip
is indeed a concrete airstrip in the middle of nowhere (many maps mark
it as an airport!) and the villa appears to be from exterior
inspection..........just a villa in what must have been total
isolation, backed by mountains and on a huge white sand beach. Even in
the 80s it was remote, but now the Moro Jable shit hole and its
metalled road isnt that far away and no doubt the villa is daily
rediscovered by a German tourist or a "jeep safari".
Still, the half dozen or so locals now have haircuts and dentistry so
we have to regard tourist development as progress, dont we? And in any
case I was the thin edge of the wedge, wasnt I? One Brit in a battered
Land Cruiser looking for a beer (we declined a meal, noting the donkey
("Cigarillo") was eating out of one of the saucepans, probably also
"Papillon" the dog. Its a proper bar now, with a loo, and German
draught beer and signs telling you not to drive on the beach.
Only got a tiny picci:-
"http://www.fell-walker/canaries.htm#fuerte"
I never used to take a proper camera, too much blowing sand.
I imagine Herr "Winter" would have blown it up as he left if the
stories are true.
Er, where was I?

Mike, do you know if there is still a "Bridge House" in Bexley ? One of
my ancestors was living there in 1871, then moved to Stanthorpe, 88
Glynde Rd, Bexley Heath where he lived for the next 40 years. It looks
as though the houses in Glynde Road have quite large grounds.

I drive down that road most days!
Bexleyheath was mostly a heath until quite recently
"http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/bexley/bexleyheath/bexleyheath-1841.html"
Its now a mixture of houses of all ages, with intriguing little
alleys, I can follow a footpath to a local pub, crossing the A2 major
road on its own bridge, the pub is odd in that everybody calls it
"Polly Clean Stairs" although its the Royal Oak officially.
"http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/bexley/bexleyheath/alers-road.htm"
I came across this one while looking around, its a 5 minute walk from
Glynde Rd
"http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk/bh1.htm"
Danson Park, round the corner, was a stately home once
"http://www.bexley.gov.uk/service/parks/danson.html"
opposite Glynde Road is now a sports centre
"http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk/bh6.htm"
this is the local pub
"http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk/bh7.htm"
not its best angle but I didnt fancy standing in the middle of the
busy road!
in Glynne Road
"http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk/bh4.htm"
fancy putting railings like that on a (1930s?) bungalow.
right, that was about number 20, so on I drove, its getting quite
exciting now!
"http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk/bh3.htm"
"http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk/bh2.htm"
Oh dear, looks like half the roads been redeveloped
I wandered around a bit, this old school must have been near 88

An elephant is the only animal with four knees. Two front and two back.

Oh! Wait a minute............. Have just looked. - It says in the Sky
book that in 1884 Blackburn Rovers beat Queens Park, Glasgow 2-1 and in
1885 Blackburn Rovers beat them again 2-0. That must have been a bit
of a bummer for them.

Definitely. It's a very skilful sport and you have to be crafty to
boot. Bas has played most of his life. Plays every other Tuesday night
with a lifelong friend then goes for a couple of pints. The loser pays.

Dijon mustard is also made mostly from mustard seed imported from
Canada. Then again, a lot of East Anglian barley went into Scotch
whisky, and no doubt still does.
It surprised me, the first time I went to the Puy, area to see the
lentil festivals. I assumed that in the past the poor peasants had
known no better than to celebrate the lentil harvest as marginally
preferable to lingering death by starvation. Not the most exciting
food.

Now Ive always thought those two games, especially as a lot of people,
inc pros, drink booze while playing and are not fit. Or is your
definition of sport the need for hand eye co ordination rather than
physicality?

On the other hand, served lukewarm with a fine schallot vinaigrette, and
on top a few thick slices of Morteau sausage or some nice gammon...
