LOL. My wife grew up in Oklahoma and Virginia... never was much for cold or snow. Now she's an avid xc skier and snowshoer. Loves the mountains and the snow... something she never thought would happen.Never catch my wife voluntarily standing in that much snow. That's why we live in South Florida.
Thanks! This was taken with an M8.2 + Fujinon 5cm f/1.2.Wonderful portrait. Cute kid!
Yeah. I think I might have overcooked the curves on the first two.:thumbup:Very punchy color Lloyd. But then I've just re-calibrated my monitor. My test image after calibration.
You do have some wonderful glass! And you know how to use it!:clap:Thanks! This was taken with an M8.2 + Fujinon 5cm f/1.2.
Thank you... much appreciated. I completely agree about the over-sharpening. I tried to replace them with less sharpened versions, but couldn't figure out how to do it. (these were my first "attached" postings)Lloyd - I LOVE that last shot.
I thought the second batch were over-sharpened though (always tempting). What is an xc skier? Not, I suspect the sort of skier I am (maybe a cx skier).
I realised that it was your wife, it was the xc skier bit that I didn't understand . . . and I apologise, it was rude of me to be so blunt about over sharpening, I was only so bold because your pictures are so splendid usually.Thank you... much appreciated.

The person is actually my wife, as we were hiking down into Bryce Canyon.
Oops, sorry, I haven't had much sleep this past few days, and I'm not as quick as I might be (not that I'm that quick ever). XC skier = Nordic Skier, as opposed to Alpine or Downhill skier.I realised that it was your wife, it was the xc skier bit that I didn't understand . . . and I apologise, it was rude of me to be so blunt about over sharpening, I was only so bold because your pictures are so splendid usually.
I like the first version of this shot better I guess, but the colour one is also fine.
If you want to 'update' attached photos (and make me look even more unpleasant ) then you should be able to simply replace the originals wherever they are, and the images here will automatically update.
Ah - the hardwork stuff.Oops, sorry, I haven't had much sleep this past few days, and I'm not as quick as I might be (not that I'm that quick ever). XC skier = Nordic Skier, as opposed to Alpine or Downhill skier.
Difficult to get it right (I don't even try these days, whatever Aperture outputs, that's what you get!).Thanks much for the help with the replacement. And your criticism was/is appropriate and well taken. I think this forum must apply some sort of sharpening algorithm to the images, because those don't look quite as sharpened on my computer as they appear on the forum. I'm rethinking my processing as a result.
Beautiful, as ever. 'Night!Ah - the hardwork stuff.
We're off skiing again in a couple of weeks, but our idea of fun is a lot of gentle downhill followed by a good lunch, and a lot of gentle downhill back to a good supper!

Now it's time for bed:
While waiting for the kettle to boil:
28 'cron
there is time to take a quick snap of Emma's Amaryllis
75 'cron
Night Night!
HI StuartJono -- I think it is a credit to your photography that I want to visit your house! Everything has so much character, or better yet, everything you photograph is done with such character.
That was an interesting shot. Nice
Thanks Jorgen, your opinion is always of great interest, and much appreciated.That was an interesting shot. Nice
I like the bristlecone as well, colour as well as b&w, but I keep wondering how it would have looked from a slightly lower angle, so that the main part of the tree was over the horizon, particularly in the colour version.
