If he was lookin' at me like that, I might refrain from asking his age, as well!

Re: This way to
Peter .. Our brief visit (with a tour group) to the festival was a highlight while "doing" the Trans Siberian rail journey from Beijing through Ulanbataar to Moscow in July/August '08 . Originally Posted by pixel pete

For this trip I decided to leave that artillery behind and bought a Panasonic TZ15 compact specifically for the trip. It served me very well, up to my expectations.
The only place I really missed my slr was at this festival; I would have loved access to my 100-400 zoom and monopod. You can see the place was crowded and our group were seated some distance from the action.
I'll get a few pix on to my carbonmade site (still a beginner there, it may take a little while) and let you know when to look. You'll see from that some of the shots that "might have been". You might even be tempted to go there yourself!
BTW.... why don't you switch a lamp on? Richard RLast edited by Roxy; 14th February 2009 at 05:24 AM.

Which is the good-looking bloke in your subsequent pic?

Re: This way to
LOL - if the shot was upside down - that would place the dashboard at the top of the picture ... hate to think what I'd be doing with the aircraft to get it in that situation, but I bet it wouldn't be legal! Originally Posted by Roxy

Re: This way to
There y'are, Colin. shot this Aston-Martin (?) "on the run" recently.Next ... expensive car ...
I wonder if there's a way to reduce/remove reflections in a photo like this?
(I mean after realising they are there when opening the image on the computer...)

You need the virtual retrospective polariser (or VRP) for that Richard Originally Posted by Roxy

Being serious though, the only thing I can think to do now is select each different reflaction into a new layer and reset the black point (and possibly white too) of 'what lies beneath' so it's as if it wasn't reflected over. Sounds labour intensive though.

Re: This way to
Thanks Richard. I've got a nice photo of me approaching my Aston Martin Vanquish ... well I wish it was mine! (Actually belongs to one of my clients). Originally Posted by Roxy

Re: This way to
Re #77
Looks a nice warm dish of Festive fare, Jim. I can't work out whether it's savoury or sweet?
My fair lady might be interested in the recipe (not that I want to start a cooking forum!)

Re: This way to
Roxy,
Actually , it's a cold dish. My wife is Lebanese and the dish is called Kibbee.It's raw lamb,cracked wheat,red peppers,onions and spices(Cumin & Cinnamon).It also can be baked or fried( looks like a hamburger when fried).
Eating raw meat is considered dangerous to most in the American culture,but my wife's people have been eating this for generations with no problems.
Raw lamb,I would say,is not a dish you aquire a taste for.I happened to like it the 1st time I ate it.It's pretty healthy food.All the fat is taken off the lamb and the amount of wheat used almost doubles the volume of the dish.It's traditionally eaten with a salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice and flat bread(made with flour,yeast and water).Very little fat in the dinner.
Regards,
Jim
