    OUCH! There's a lot of cut limbs… was this a felling gone wrong, or did it come down in bad weather? Or were the limbs removed after the fall? I've placed a lot of felled trees right where I wanted them, but also had a few near-disaters.

    "People" photography is not for me

    I was in a crowded ferry terminal (public place), and there was this cute little girl with her mother. EVERYONE was taking cell phone pictures of her! I pulled out my discrete PEN F with the pancake zoom and took a photo. "Don't you dare take pictures of my children!" she scolded, "I want...

    EXIF "management"

    Interesting perspective… perhaps I'm missing something, but I view command line tools as having the ultimate in "finesse." Not only that, but they can be easily saved, edited, and re-run, unlike GUI tools. What am I missing?

    EXIF "management"

    I'm fairly happy with Excire Foto, from Germany. It does a nice job of using AI to automagically set keywords. Their keywords are in their own name-space, and don't interfere with yours. Their keywords live in their database, and don't get embedded in images unless you tell it to. http://excire.com

    Perseid meteors! Oly 8mm ƒ/1.8 on an OM-1. About 120 each ten-second exposures, using Live Composite.

    How do you manage your photographs???

    Have you tried Excire Foto? It does automagic, AI-based keywording. (You can also add your own.) It is fantastic to have a regular keyword system imposed on me. I don't have enough discipline to organize my own in a consistent manner.

    Architecture Our House, a Very Fine House.

    Ouch! That was my first job. My dad was a house painter and decorator/remodeller. I wanted to be a musician, so he insisted I learn to paint so I'd have a "day job" while trying to make music. But after painting with him for a summer, I decided anything was better, and went into engineering...

    We don't have a CoO yet. Haven't even scheduled final inspection. It will need a railing to pass final inspection!

    Architecture Our House, a Very Fine House.

    If you mean, are they doing "finishing work," then yes! It's going to be lovely… if we ever get in it. The best and worst thing is that the builder is an "artiste," and he loves to work with found materials. Right now, he's putting up solid copper sheeting backsplash around the kitchen counter...

    I don't believe the EXIF info. What lens was it really shot with?

    Thanks! The "execution" would have been better if I hadn't lost the last shot, though.

    This was in the top of the old silo on our family farm. My brother (in yellow) built a platform near the top. I set the tripod in the centre, and had family sit around about a quarter of the circumference. Then I'd take a shot and rotate, and those who were no longer in the frame moved to the...

    Architecture Our House, a Very Fine House.

    I'm envious. We're in my step-daughter's sewing room, while the schedule on our tiny house slips by… was supposed to be done by July, then October, then "in the new year," then "end of the month…" (last month)

    Adapted Adapted lenses, any make, for any camera

    I managed to get a transit of Mercury with a Celestron C90, but you can't see it without pixel-peeping at 100%. No where near as impressive as yours! Plus, it was cloudy that day.
