Hi Cindy
Jorgen has it - airy and lovely and crisp.


Hi Vivek

Jono, There is a 50 UKP mail in (limited offer) rebate from Panasonic (you are supposed to have seen a demo in a shop). The price is good there

On the lens front, check your PM.

Just Don't Tempt Me! I'll be in Penzance tomorrow . . there is a good Jessops there, and if they have one I may find it hard to resist!

I'm about to go lens hunting.

Lili,
I keep looking at your Dallas skyline. There's something clean-cut and airy about it, which I like

Thanks Jorgen

 

[jonoslack]

Thanks Jorgen

Lili, I seem to be suffering from some sort of brain damage
Of course, it was your lovely airy crisp skyline I was talking about

I rather guessed as much jonoslack
um, that you were talking about my image that is

 

[Jorgen Udvang]

Lili, I seem to be suffering from some sort of brain damage

But that was obvious, wasn't it? Since I am neither airy nor lovely nor crisp More like leftovers from last Thursday's dinner actually. And still people expect me to perform work on a regular basis. What on earth are they thinking

 

[Robert Campbell]

Just Don't Tempt Me!

Oh, we'll try

I seem to be suffering from some sort of brain damage

A GAS attack, I diagnose. Cured by application of G1 :ROTFL:

OF course you are Jorgen . . . at least, I've always thought of you that way.

As for the work bit, funny isn't it, they seem to expect me to do some too!

Oh, we'll try

:ROTFL:
At least I know that YOU'll try Bertie . . . when's your G1 coming . . . and will it be RED?

 

[Robert Campbell]

Actually, I think this GAS attack might be smittin'....I prescribe a curative G1 for you, and a prophylactic one for the significant other. Red is a strong, forceful colour; blue is restful and sympathetic. :ROTFL:

Another view of the Mournes, though not from the shore:

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Cecil and Ian are discussing the shores:

 

[jonoslack]

HI Bertie
Is that Cecil or Ian clutching the pipe to his chest . . . looks dangerous to me!

Here's one from the Walkman:

It's the Cornish Coast near Lands End (taken with the 24-70 Zeiss). In case you're asking, yes, we did go swimming in the cove around the corner, and yes, the Atlantic in November is a little chilly!

This is where the space-ships land:

Both of these taken with the 70-300 G lens

HI Bertie
Is that Cecil or Ian clutching the pipe to his chest . . . looks dangerous to me!

Ian gets to play with the pipes and the stone spreader, Cecil sits in air conditioned luxury in the digger -- both Oly 520, 14-42, ISO 400 f:5.6

Cecil isn't CJ McIvor -- that's Colin. And on the digger it says 'CJ McIvor and Son' which is interesting, as Colin's son is only three - I don't know how active he is in the business

 

[Robert Campbell]

I'm impressed with the colours from the Walkman/Play Station....specially how it turns pink into red in the hunting pictures..and with the spacecraft...any little green men about?

 

[Peter Klein]

Now it can be told...

I took this shot a couple of weeks ago, but didn't reveal it because I'd entered it in the monthly contest on the LUG. The pictures don't have to be taken with Leicas. Last month's theme was "three." Well, I got an honorable mention. The photo was taken with the E-510, and the older 40-150 f/3.5-4.5, as long as it would go, wide open, at 1/30. Ain't image stabilization grand? Anyway, this scene probably won't ever be displayed behind the altar of a cathedral, but it's fun...

A detail shot at 50% res from the new Panasonic Lumix G1 with kit lens. Not bad for a "prosumer" kit package. I also added some G1 landscape shots to my gallery, http://www.schophoto.com/gallery/list.php?exhibition=10

 

[Vivek]

Carl, Another nice shot. How do you process the files?

 

[jonoslack]

Hi Carl
I'm seriously impressed - lovely sharp corners, great detail . . . presumably you were using a tripod for these shots?
jpg or RAW?

 

[jonoslack]

Ian gets to play with the pipes and the stone spreader, Cecil sits in air conditioned luxury in the digger -- both Oly 520, 14-42, ISO 400 f:5.6

That Ian is on a grand scale . . . is it because he's stuck the pipe down his trousers?

incidentally, are the hunting Pinks pink in Ireland, they're certainly scarlet around here.

 

[Brian Mosley]

Beautifully sharp detail there Carl - I'm very happy with the kit lens at f8 - but still can't wait to get my other lenses on there!

Cheers

Brian
