Hi Bob
You're right - Southwold Pshaw!
my lawn shed is much bigger than that (and I'm sure your's is too).
And that icy wind - I've been to those beaches loads of times, and it's ALWAYS freezing

Hi All
Sorry for absence - I've been allowed out of our newly developed
CCD cleaning laboratory for a moment to post these pictures (there
is a new gallery with twelve photos designed to catch the mood of
an early 'spring' day at the seaside!):
http://www.slack.co.uk/Suffolk2002/southwold/index.html
I had to help an old friend set up a new computer over the weekend,
they live near the coast, so I thought I'd pop down to the seaside
town of Southwold for an hour with the camera.
Weather was mixed - a little sunshine - damned cold!
For those who aren't in the know, Southwold is a sleepy seaside
town about 100 miles north east of London. It's rather trendy
amongst rich Londoners these days, and although it may still seem a
little down at heel, prices have gone through the roof.
It's the north sea - this means that it's brown, and freezing cold
(except when the currents bring up a little warmer water from the
Sizewell nuclear power plant a few miles down the coast). If you
are brave enough to go swimming, and foolish enough to open your
eyes under water, the browness is so dense as to make it dark.
Nothing daunted, these Londoners are reputed to pay as much as
£40,000 for beach huts - yes, that's nearly $60,000. There is a
wonderful row of beach huts, all with royal names: there's
Victoria, Queenie, Edward II, Albert . . . . . . and at the end of
the row there's Carl Marx!
Here is Albert:
The coast around here is very much subject to subsidence, and in a
(mostly vain) attempt to stop their houses dropping into the sea,
the locals have put a number of 'groin's along the coastline.
Here is a groin (with a muddy splash)
I hope you enjoy the pictures - now I must crawl back and have
ANOTHER go at getting that last piece of dust from my CCD.
Comment, criticism and insults will all be gratefully received!
kind regards

Hi Mike
First of all, Emma says 'did I thank you for the hat'. It's very popular around here and add's an international taste to the kitchen! She also says ' how's that Michael'?
I do like the wide angle - yes - lot's of fun, although maybe I need to mould it to my requirements a little (did you read Stephen's post).
hope you're well

Yes - you're right - nothing like a splash in the groin. I've been trying to get some work done - not totally successfully, but you have to try!

HI Jeanne
Thank you for looking - and I'm glad you like those ones, I'm afraid that they are both TERRIBLE cons.
Nr. 6 had a row of houses behind - so I pasted in some other sky, and number 8 had a horrid flat white cloud behind, so, same treatment. I did make quite an effort to get the light in the right direction, although in 8, I think I should probably have dodged the red hut a little to bring out the colour.
The light wasn't very good until the last coupld of shots, the beauty of digital is to make (at least) a canvas purse out of the sow's ear!

HI Laurie.
I can't quite see Dr. Bob's wonderful WONDERFUL haggis thread appearing on the Nikon Forum!
kind regards
jono
Thanks - I wasn't sure if you subscribed to Stephen's cliche argument - he does have a point :-(
I like these - but both of them have been 'zapped' in photoshop - the light wasn't very good, and the groins shot has been pretty considerably 'brightened up' Nr 6 has also been 'levelled' heavily, and a sky added (there was a rather tricky row of houses behind it I'm afraid).
I was using the Sigma 15-30, and there is a little barrel distortion between about 15 and 17mm, but, truth to tell, it's a lot less than the E10, especially with the Wcon.
It's the wonders of photoshop I'm afraid, not the wonders of the D1X, and certainly not the wonders of the English seaside weather!
Actually - for the last week, although I've lurked a bit, I've been lying largely low - trying to get some work done. I'd much rather hang about here anyway, much more fun!

HI Jens
I wish you as much pleasure with yours!

Thank you - although, this one at least, might have been easier with the E10. There are lots of nice things about the D1X, but I don't think it makes for better photographs; it's lovely having the speed, and it handles nicely, but I don't find the colours as reliable as the E10 colours. OTOH you can do much more fiddling about without it looking like you've fiddled about (if you see what I meanHello Jono,
I really love the second one. Amazing depth and full of life. You
must be enjoying that new toy of yours
know if I want to talk with you anymore....
Now that's a REAL toy - mine's been around here for 20 years, but still behaves just as well as on the first day (no; better!). I don't get the urge to change it for a new one every 6 months, and I've really got to grips with the ergonomics!You just wait until I get my new toy, heh...

HI there
welllllllllll
these shots (apart from the last couple when the sun came out) have been positively massacred in photoshop.
Numbers 6,7,8 and 9 all have new skies added (due to horrid drab bright grey clouds). But basically I use levels to stretch out the histogram, this brightens things up a bit, then I may do a little dodging and burning (sometimes I just increase the contrast, but usually I find it's better to do it selectively by dodging the highlights and burning the shadows).
I haven't got the brains to fiddle with the WB at the time, but I very rarely fiddle with the colour balance anyway - it's the levels tool which seem to do the business for me.
does this help? if not, then I can provide more information!
kind regards

Hi Robert,
Well......you see......I was only able to properly diagnose your temporary blindness (and incipient hairy palms), based on years of clinical experience.
How 'bout "personal" experience, you wonder?
Oh, 'tis none of that. I hold no truck with the legend of Onan.
(end of obscure references......)
On another matter, it is indeed sad that you and Herr Slack must soon go to war against each other.......I understand that to be obligatory when one is in the Nikon camp and the other Canon. (Sort of a Hatfield and McCoys thing....)
But I am very glad that both of you will continue to come here and play with us peaceful Olyites.
Best wishes,
David-- http://www.mongoosephoto.com

Hiya David,
Yes it is true that Jono and I must meet on the batlefield. My plan of attack is to hit him with a surprise attack by throwing old scratched up UV filter lenses at him like Chinese throwing stars. Then when I have him off balance I will shoot him in the eye with a blast of compressed air. Having taken out his vision he will never see my ancient tripod being swung at his royal jewels. I plan on having my camera record this whole scene as the Canon D60 can fire up to 8 shots in raw mode. This should capture the whole battle. IF my plan fails I have a backup. If Jono gets the upper hand I will have several sets of NiMh batteries in my pocket that I will throw in front of me then turn and escape. If he takes chase he will slip on these and sustain massive injury from his overweight Nikon camera.
I cannot lose though as I out gun him....I have a Canon! hehe--~ Robertwww.pbase.com/robertconn
