Re: In Memoriam: Ginger Jones
I'm very saddened by the news of Ginger's death. I don't post much (too shy about my lack of skill), but have been an avid viewer and reader of Dgrin for some years. Of all the memories on this site, the one that made me stay and renewed my faith in people was a post by Ginger in the "Show us your mug!" thread. Everyone up… -
Re: Home Sweet Alley
It's good that you're paying attention to those cultural taboos; too few people do. In '93 when I was in Somalia, I spent time at an MSF clinic, and before I started shooting I asked the french nurse running the clinic if it was alright to photograph the patient. 'Absolutely,' she told me. 'They don't mind.' So I went… -
Re: SmugMug Update From Baldy
Hey Mishenka, This is good insight but I think about it in a different way, fwiw. This is probably an unimportant detail, but I think the number of customers who are willing & able to use JavaScript in the way we've historically enabled it is closer to 1%, if that high. But whether 7% or 1%, it's in our interest to enable… -
Re: Canon 7D AI Servo vs AI Focus
I believe that the AF section of the Canon 7D is one of Canon's better AF implementations. I believe that it compares well to the top-of-the-line 1D series in good light, but it slows in low light. (This behavior is documented somewhat in the user manual on the bottom of page 93.) AF speed and accuracy are excellent when… -
Not really into portraits........
...... but I shot a few 'by accident' this weekend and wanted to share some 'people shots' with you. Comments welcome :) : This gentleman is 93 years old and was telling about his experience as a fighter pilot over the Pacific, back in 1944. He came all the way from Australia to attend the Battle of Britain memorial… -
Pearl Harbor Memorial Ceremony
This past Wednesday marked the 70th Anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor. The American Airpower Museum on Long Island once again hosted a memorial ceremony. In a tradition began in 1970, a bouquet of roses, one for each year since the attack, are blessed with water taken from near the USS Arizona, and then are… -
The Dark Sky: Astrophotography
I spent 8 months in Africa last year and was able to get out under the night skies a few times. Here are some favourites... Sleeping Under Galaxies Before arriving in Zambia I had envisioned a photo similar to this one so when I found this village I was rather excited. For this photo I had to get my camera as low as… -
Re: Smugmug slow to load?
If it helps.... Mine is slow as well (http://www.saddleshots.net) Here is my traceroute, if it helps: Tracing route to www.smugmug.com [208.79.45.23] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 * * * Request timed out. 2 76 ms 27 ms 47 ms 68.85.172.229 3 72 ms 97 ms 50 ms te-9-4-ur02.s1marietta.ga.atlanta.comcast.net [6 8.86.106.205] 4… -
Re: Photoshop save for web color shift
It can but there's no guarantee. Now things get interesting when I view my Flash galleries on a wide gamut display (93% of Adobe RGB (1998)). FireFox and Safari match. This probably indicates that the upload from LR doesn't contain a profile. They don't match LR there's a difference in saturation but its not a lot (which I… -
Re: Matching Blogger to Use With Smugmug
Ouch, my brains hurts and my eyes are sore... I spent some time today editing my HTML code located in the template of my Blogger account. Thankfully I'd tried it before, so a lot of the legacy Smugstuff was in their to be modified. I have things looking close to where I can accept them. I've just two issues I can't for the…
