Hi Des,

Nice to hear from you.

The art director did do the retouching, he’s a wiz when in comes to this sort of thing.

I once asked Jason at The Lounge if he could show me some before and afters of the images on there website.

He said that he couldn't as the other photographers wouldn’t let him.

Cheers

Hey Des,

I think Drayton uses a guy called Dan.

Dan did the retouching for me for this shot.

I wish I lived in New Zealand!!  It's got Detroit beat by a mile (or alot more).  Anyways, here's what I think is the final on the Talbot Lago.  I dropped in a couple of my stock backgrounds and I think it's more dramatic.  Also, attached are some shots taken today at the Henry Ford Museum.  My daughter has the week off from school so I took the afternoon off and we headed down to Dearborn.  The technique is a little bit HDR, some exposure blending in Photomatix then capping it off with Camera Raw.   Jim

Hi Jim,

Wow great shots of the car and museum, love to go there one day.

Did you use your Mamiya or did you use something lighter in the museum?

Gidday Des,

Don’t really know what the other guys and girls are up to in Auckland. I try to keep a very low profile.
Just trying to stay busy in business in this economic climate.
Too many bloody photographers in this town

Jim the second picture or the Diner one on the left hand side has some strange reflections bleeding into the seats...
you can see a reflection of a car and the hand rails are bleeding into the brownish plate on the booth.
Great shots, but something strange is going on with the blend there?

Glad you like the shots!  I did take the Mamiya and all the shots were taken with the 28mm.  I wanted to shoot the Dymaxion House for a self promo so I thought that I might as well take the best I have.  Snook, these were pretty much snapshots, the diner had to be shot through a locked glass door.  Even though I held up my jacket to take care of most of the reflections I couldn't get all of them.  My plan is to present these to the museum, if there's any interest perhaps they'll have me back and I'll have greater access to the displays.  Jim

As always Jim, superb!

That explains it and they are VERY nice images.... Just thought you might have not seen it...
Good stuff as usual from you..:+}

Thanks for sharing

Gidday Des.

Well it can’t be that bad living on The Great Barrier Reef drinking a few cold Crown Larger’s.

Simon, They did let me take in a tripod.  Amazingly enough, I ran into another photographer shooting medium format.  We're everywhere!!  Prints and a letter are already off to the curator, hopefully they will be well received.  Jim

Gary, Those are very cool shots!  As I remember the Mamiya 7 shot the 6x7 format, so that 43 would be a pretty wide lens.  Jim

[Gary Yeowell]

Thanks Jim, yes pretty wide, about 20/21mm equivalent on 35mm.

Regards,
Gary.

Here's something a little different!  A week ago I dusted off my anaglyph technique and the following is the result.  Attached is the before and after, if you need the 3-D glasses please send in 19.95 and I'll send a pair out.  Of course they are readily available for much less anywhere else!  Jim
