The Road From Zion
Vacation day in Denver. The wife awoke at 3:00am in Florida. She was snowed out of Denver for 2 days forcing us to cancel one day of the trip to Utah. Her airplane landed at 9:00am and were on the road in no time, the wife packed in the back seat asleep. We took to the road in east Denver in overcast skies. No time to stop… -
Re: >>> LPS#2 Judges Feedback thread
I apologize for not posting this earlier but it's been one of those weeks. I'd like to start by addressing the "what the judges are looking for" comments that keep popping up after the results for each contest get posted. That should be the something you should never even consider. No one should be looking for a formula… -
Re: October 2007 API contest - Win an iPhone!
Smuggler Smuggler The only SmugMug API that I know of in Python is a very thin wrapper that just forwards API requests without doing much checking. Smuggler is a full wrapper around the API that does type checking before the data is submitted to save bandwidth and does better error reporting that the API responds with when… -

Re: Lightbox slow - anyone else or just me?
First, this morning (1/29) as I write this, performance is decent. Not good, not normal, but 2-4 seconds for a large image to come up, and no failures. I will try to do it again if it gets worse.

Re: >>> LPS#20 - Feedback Thread
41-50 41 - Face of Innocence. I love the subject and the composition. However, I find it too soft. You seem to have the rose in focus an you lose it around the eyelashes and you cropped a bit of her chin out. I think it might have been stronger with the theme to have the full face in focus instead of the rose. Also, I… -
Re: A "Wow" moment, but why?
First off, these are not stellar pictures. They came from my culled images and have had no post done on them. In a nutshell, I have generally always shot aperture mode allowing for me to select DOF and let the camera do the rest. It's sort of easy that way. But I recall seeing a lot of exif info that showed manual mode on… -
Re: Cheesesteaks at midnight
Hmmm. Last time I was in philly, I was told the only way was with white cheddar. Dude must have been pulling my leg. Is there actually any cheese in Cheez Whiz® Pasteurized Processed Cheese Sauce? After a little googling, I found this from Chemical and Engineering News: When I was in first grade, I went through a cerebral… -
PS LAB Color, Chapter 16 -- Recipe for portraits
This chapter presents a recipe for portraits which Dan claims drastically improves their belivability. The recipe is easy to learn but it has a few decision points which I've found difficult to master. I've been practicing it for a few months now and also practiced in Dan's class. Now I'm getting consistently improved…
