<p>I just got one after seeing some prints by a friend that are excellent. However, I'm having a problem perhaps some of the owners here can help with. I'm trying to print an 8 x 10 on 8.5 x 11 paper, and no matter what I try I keep getting a message saying that the image is too large for the paper. I have tried both through Photoshop and the printer's software. I am pretty certain that I have the image size set properly. In the Canon "My Image Garden" box, it will even show the image as it should look on 8.5 x 11 paper, but it always clips off when I print. I've called my friend...but he's out of town. Any thoughts? </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Rob</p> -
Your right, Len...colour is king in Vegas, which is why I opted for the B&W versions as well: the emperor with no clothes. I did this by giving the lens a twist as I shot, then played with a couple of Lightroom presets; nothing really tricky about it. I was on the old Freemont Strip in Vegas, which I found to be an absolutely dismal place, especially after five days in those incredible deserts. -
<p>Hello,<br> For various reasons I've had to give up any work in a wet darkroom. But I very much like the look of images that have things like the film sprockets and the lettering on the side of the negative displayed. Is anyone aware of a technique or preferably an action that will reproduce this effect?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Rob</p>

Very nice, Len! -
I found Freemont an almost hallucinogenic experience -- and not a pleasant one. I thought I'd descended into one of Dante's Rings, so have taken an ironic approach with the photos I took there. I'll be very grateful for your comments. Thanks, R.

On a trip to the American South West last year I flew in and out of Vegas and stayed st a place on the Freemont Strip. Gaudy and full of colour, I found it quite a miserable place. I saw few people smiling, and no one seemed to be having anything like a good time. The energy was frantic but pointless, and I thought it made a bit of an ironic comment to process some of the photos from that evening in B&W. Your comments will be greatly appreciated! -

<p>Thanks, Jeff. That "up close" stuff is the look I'm interested in but I think I'll look around for something a little bigger than the Polaroid 48.</p>
-
<p>Craig Shearman -- thanks for the useful response. My sense is that ring flashes are often used for pretty tight portrait work, which is what interests me. It might have been a good idea for me to have been more specific in my post. I think ring flashes for portraits usually have a 12" diameter, and this unit is smaller...so I wondered, would it be any good at all?</p>

<p>Hello all,</p> <p> I have been offered a Polaroid 48 Ring Flash at a very good price. However, I'm interested in portrait photography. Will this unit be good for close-up portraits? Thanks much!</p>

Nice composition...very well-spotted & well executed! -
Very nicely composed & tonally balanced...does a lot with a little. -
Alf & Bela -- thanks both of you for the comments. Bela -- I wish I could give you a better answer, but this is all I have: I recently started playing with Lightroom on Adobe CC, and did this largely by playing. There's something that appears to be an oval shaped graduated filter; I applied it on the centre and from there, used some sort of toning preset on the rest, probably with some more slider play, and maybe some vignetting. Wish I could say more! --Rob. -
Another experiment in post-processing. Opinions welcome!

Thanks, Larry. It's a departure because I'm trying to get more "black" into the black & white. I'd love to reduce the noise in the sky, but I don't know how!
