The Tree - 4 Images · 04:18 PM

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I spent Christmas at my sister's in Charlottesville VA. My sister is a very talented woman in a number of areas, one of which decorating. An example is this tree. Which I found to be extrordinary.

I seem to be having some trouble with images from my pbase galleries not always showing. Keep refreshing and they eventually appear, or you can just go here if interested.

Nice, sharp, good color. SR? Tripod?

Merry Christmas Alan!

Your sister is very talented and the tree is beautiful. Are there two trees or did she use two different kinds of lights? I see the pointy ended and round ones.

But, if she doesn't already know it, she has a very talented brother. These photos are like those from a decorator's magazine. Extremely well done!!

She's also very lucky. I don't think my brothers have ever referred or talked about anything I've done much less called me talented. HA!

Lovely rich colours and detail... on the ones I could see.

Your sister certainly has a talent, as do you in capturing her creations! I'll have to check out your gallery.

Make sure the link you use begins "www.pbase", otherwise it won't always work. I think you right-click and "Copy link location", that should give you the right link. Otherwise it's hit-and-miss as you've noted.

Great shots Alan, I like the crisp colors and the spot on focus. The camera and the lens blend together to make great shooting, and beautiful images.

Good shooting.
Cheers: David

roscot · 12-26-2006, 07:27 PM

Thanks Clarence. These were shot on a tripod with SR off. I had to process twice to get the color balence right because of the mixed lighting, dylight overall and tungston from the tree lights.

It is a single tree. You have a good eye for detail. She did indeed use 2 different types of lights. I've not seen the miniture globes before.

You know, it's funny, growing up we did nothing but fight. She moved to Virginia back in the sixties, and we really didn't have much contact for years. When I moved down here, we kind of rediscovered each other.

Hi Alan, spendid photos as others suggested. Looking like "house and garden" magazine photos.

Thanks for sharing

roscot · 12-27-2006, 06:09 AM

Thanks Roentarre. I've been in a bit of a photographic slump lately. I think I'm coming out of it.

Hello, Alan,

Beautiful tree. As you said, your sister is very talented.

That 50MM f:1.4 is terrific. My K10 is (hopefully) less than two weeks from delivery and I'm already wanting that lens (like everybody else!)

Your pictures make it hard for me to hold out on the lens until after I get the camera.

Thanks for posting,

Dan
