Posted for Eric! -- #1


Camera: Sony DSC-H1

The b&w photo was taken at Crissy Field and it's the front of an old army warehouse. The ISO was set at 100, and I took it at a 400 shutter speed with an f stop of 5.6. It seemed like there was some good shadow action going on. It was about 3 pm.

You're right, there was some good shadow action in this scene, nice. It seems like the DSC-H1 does B&W pretty well.

Hi Eric,

I really do like the shadow play in the center part of the photo - but as is, there seems to be too much going on outside of that area for my liking - what about cropping to concentrate on the shadows, part of the railing, and the door?

Best regards,
SteveR

You're right. It does take away. I was trying to figure out what it is that takes away from the photo and it's this. You are beginning to provide me with arguments to get a new laptop and some cool photo editing software. Arguments to who? Why Genie of course. You are Warren are pushing me farther and farther to the dark side. Bad influences all of you. I love it. Thx for the input.

Eric -

[Darth Vader music, followed by heavy, mechanical breathing sounds]... Yes, we have taught you well, young Sonywalker!

I've been using Photoshop Elements 2 since Nov 2003 - it came with my Digital Rebel - it works very well and is not too resource-intensive. I think you can find version 4, the latest version, for $60 or so these days - PE4 has features that are a lot closer to Photoshop 7, and even some borrowed from PS CS, I understand

What do you suggest for Eric, Warren?

I think PS Elements 2 would be a great choice. Eric really needs a new computer more than the software, though.

You are correct. I need a new computer. I can see it now. "Oh Genie, ya know that new photo blog group that I belong to??? Well, Steve and Warren said..."

BWAH, HAH, HAH... (B movie ghoul laughter)
