I think it's in the original slide. I don't mind it, though, regardless.

Oya's Mini-Bazaar?

Thanks for the looking (& the compliments!). I actually did take a few pictures inside the market on Granville, see http://www.fotolog.net/furcafe/?photo_id=353480

Thanks for looking. I actually get that suggestion a lot & agree w/it--I've just never gotten around to updating the upload!

Thanks for the comments, gentlemen!

Thanks for the comments & compliments!

Thanks, Julius. Your shot is nice, too.

Thanks, Yarko.

Thanks.

Thanks. Glad you like it.

You're right. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to try dodging that part of her arm.

Yes, that's what f/1 looks like.

Thanks for the humorous comment (& compliment). I used my handy little Gossen Digisix to meter the scene.

Ian:

 

Thanks for the comment. It's particularly gratifying to get some feedback from a photographer as accomplished as yourself.

 

This was a quick grab shot taken as I walked by (I've often seen, & heard, these guys practicing in the park). I was experimenting w/using the 21mm focal length (I'm usually more of a 50-100mm guy) & was perhaps a little too preoccupied w/keeping the camera level. I think you're right about the underexposure, a combination of clouds & moving leaves kept the light levels variable (a shot taken a few seconds later w/the same settings looks more properly exposed). Also, FWIW, it was my 1st experience using APX 400, & also for my lab (Nat'l Geographic); judging from the negatives & contact sheet, most of the roll has unusually high contrast & density. That said, I haven't had the chance to print this shot yet, & the vagaries of scanning (including the Mac v. Windows gamma gap) may make this upload look darker than it really is.

Not really. That's the scan (& my tweaking of it). My photos tend to look too dark on Windows machines (I use a Mac), so I try to play to the masses. Maybe I went too far on these shots.

Thanks John. The shots in this folder were taken @ a friend's flamenco party. The light came from some jury-rigged spotlights being used by a couple of guys who were videotaping the performers. Most of my other "available darkness" shots from that night were complete duds (time to start saving for a Noctilux!).

Nice shot of a Metro escalator (something I walk on @ least 10 times a week--I hope you weren't 1 of those tourists who stands on the left & blocks the commuters!). Also, I think you did a good job w/the panoramic stitching software.
