Post-workshop inspiration is slipping
Oct. 23rd, 2006 12:55 pmAs it always does a few weeks after a workshop, my post-workshop inspiration is starting to fade. I really need to get out and take some pictures to prop it up. Saw some interesting stuff in old Sac a couple nights ago, need to remember that.
In other photography news:
:-) I should be receiving a 450mm lens in the mail today. I expect that this is the last focal length that I need for any kind of normal work. But...I think I need to get another rail extension before I can use it.
:-( It's looking like my 90mm lens has significant light drop off in the corners. Need to do some testing and either: get a center filter, or buy a better 90mm lens. Fortunately, 90mm lenses are pretty cheap if it comes to that.
:-) My order of mounting and matting supplies arrived from Light Impressions. Now I can start practicing with cold dry mounting, and matting.
:-) Had a good session with a friend reviewing my shots from the workshop. Always good to get someone else's perspective on my work.
:-( Upon further examination I have determined that several of my shots from the workshop are in quite in focus. Time to get my eyes checked! Thanks to

I have an appointment in Jan.
:-( Still no luck getting my printer calibrated. May try one of the services I have found online.
:-) Planning to take a couple negatives to the lab this week to get them professionally scanned. This will be interesting! Not sure how big of a file I can open on my machine, so need to do some testing before I go to the lab. I did not build this computer with photo editing in mind, may have some upgrades in my future.
