here's Sunny, our younger cat.
Leo's new portrait will follow,
closer (because of his color)
to Halloween.     CLICK ON IMAGE --> . . . . . .
He's looking out the kitchen window.  I took this picture from as far away as I could get and still be in the house, to see how my newest lens works.  (It's a Tamron 200-500-mm zoom, for wildlife.)

In PSP, all I did was clone in some screen on the right side (not a good job, but this was to test the lens) where a piece of wall and a thermometer were, crop it, and use PSP's Sharpen More.]]> Thu, 8 Oct 2009 04:35:53 D_Spider http://pspug.org/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1252929092/ http://pspug.org/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1252929092/#num1


It started out as a very wet week. The main road through the Outer Banks (Rt-12) was under water for a couple days, but it all cleared up and turned out great. To top it off our son got married while there. ]]> Mon, 14 Sep 2009 07:51:32 cwodave http://pspug.org/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1248738458/ http://pspug.org/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1248738458/#num1

is Senecio, but there are a 1000 species). In PSP,
I combined 3 shots so the center of the flower
would be in focus. The rest is pleasantly blurry
because the flower is only an inch in diameter,
and this close, there is no depth of field worth
mentioning.  This is called a "cram shot"--when
you stick your lens into a bunch of flowers and
focus on just one of them. It's a way of making
weeds look like more respectable flowers. . . . . .

My daughter's business partner had made a wonderful dragonfly which she and her daughter carried aloft supported by poles. the larger sculptures included A queen Bee, a tortoise, a tree, the sun and lots of children dressed as lady birds and wasps.
We all walked behind the parade past the river and over the canal bridge into a very large park. there we ate the picnic which we had brought and had a lovely day.
