I think I've comsumed enough Coke air by now to think of a new G-R-Q Plan; a simple one - always best - and this is it: I shall change my initials to N.G.M., Nam Goldin Mallorca!

Quite brilliant, I thought; what took me so long?

Rob,

this is simply brilliant. Starting with a tiled studio is a very good idea...

Especially with built-in water supplies. Then, to top even that, the tiles help the singing models sound like they are cutting a '55 R'n'R number! You could ask for more?

Oh, that's real spooky... your reflection reveals (devil?) horns!  ;D

P.S. Congrats on self-promoting marketing, that's rather novel.


Yes, I saw the horny(today?) symbolism and thought I'd fly with it a while... but no Faustian pacts, believe me!

The logo cost me another denim shirt: this one was the trial, which they did well; the second one was a disaster because the two colours - dark blue letters/red stars - had to go down in two runs and they blew the locations both times! As it was a really old shirt, I refused their offer of a refund; they were young guys and gals starting out. I blew many things as a kid, too. What the hell - I use it at home and helps remind me whom I might still be. I know, it gets complicated at times.

I posted this earlier today in the tech area dealing with Nikon's new body; as I suppose folks don't always pop over there, I hope nobody minds the duplication here.

Another in the Coke series - clearly; I enjoyed working it to the sound of Dylan's Blonde on Blonde. It fitted, somehow, but regretfully I can't add Everybody must get stoned because it's © blocked on You Tube. I wonder if anyone is buying that LP or disc today - maybe unblocking it might increase interest in the back catalogue?

I was bored last night, and picking through some (relatively) ancient LX5 RW2 files, and decided to try and really go over the top with the processing.  This isn't HDR, but I did use a filter sequence in Color Efex Pro that was pretty extreme.  Haven't used it in a few years, but I'm almost always happy with what that little 10.1MP sensor could do.

Hi Keith,

I've just checked: both computers are set at 1280 x 1024, which is the max. they'll go.

The Internet one also adds the information that it's at 75 Hz and 32-bit, the other one, the PS one, won't tell me its details beyond the 1280 x 1024 part and 32-bit.

I think they love me as I love them!

Thanks for your suggestions,

Rob C

Thank you, kind sir!

It's funny with photography: nothing much happens for a while and then it comes to you in a burst of maybe ten minutes. Okay, I know the optic from way back, and that lets you know pretty much what you'll get, but the problem becomes one of what's the next trick with it going to be? Difficult to avoid being swamped by a characteristic and staying fresh at the same time. Well, c'est la vie; it's fun, and that's value enough.

And the zoom feature - bottom right of screen in Internet Explorer - is showing 100% on both machines?

Rob, the reason I ask is because I'm siiting on the sofa with a laptop on my lap set to 125% and all images look soft!

Keith, the reason I avoided a reply to that is because I can't find the zoomer! The only time I see one show is when I look at E-mail attachments! I'd hopd to find it and not appear a total putz, but I can't find it at all.

The closest I get by right-clicking is into a window that shows me to be at the recommended ppp setting of 96ppp and not the alternative option of 120ppp that enlarges the image.

Keith, I can only do it on the other computer, the PS one.

There, it's simply:

1. Click on subject
2. Click Print Screen button
3. Open PS
4. File>New>OK>Edit>Paste>Crop
5. File>Save
6. Convert to JPEGS for E-mails.

That's on Windows XP and I use it for grabbing images etc.

This Internet computer is Vista and I have no PS in it! I haven't a clue how to do it on Vista.

Blush!

;-)

Rob C

P.S. Found it; was looking in the wrong area - it's up in the toolbar under 'Ver' which is 'to see' and you get it on a menu that comes down. Yep, it's set at 100%. I tried Chris' way and nothing moved, making me think I was already at 100%. The other computer is also setb form 100%.

Thanks again.

Gió Ponti designed this house in Caracas during the 50's. (El Cerrito).
Now is a World Heritage kept by descendants from the original owners.
There is a very low maintenance budget, as you can see is a bit deteriorated.
The image is not retouched.

After we moved to Mallorca, I'd the dream of some day building a house to my own design. It was to consist of two principal areas: the ground floor for living, and an open space up top (without interior walls, I mean), that was going to be a studio, with a very high roof.

It never happened. It became far too expensive to do anything like that; inflation just kept on getting further and further ahead of me.

I do envy folks with the ability to indulge that final dream.

Rob, this house provably has some of those elements you dreamt about. Tomorrow i'll post some of the few interiors I had the chance to take.
