Looking at my metadata in Lightroom, it looks like I had it at 400 ISO for the early morning shots ground level, between ISO 250 and 640 for the evening (had to keep bumping up the ISO as the sun sat to maintain my narrow aperture), elevated shots from the top of the garage, and on the first ground ...

Well at least you are able to identify that it was HDR I suppose. When anyone starts blathering about Zoe NOES that's a photoCHOP" I will typically write them off as a moron, so you might do yourself a favor and try to act more knowledgeable from the get-go, and drop the absurdly transparent eg...

Amsterdam is not nearly my favorite European city but it has its high points.  It does, doesn't it.  :) I walked and stood some of these scenes here, albeit back in 2004. What a city that is. Not if you're a skyscraper enthusiast though, but still an incredible place. Though I did have too much of ...

I don't like the sound of that. As verboten as it may be to say, MADD is actually too fanatical in their crusades against drunk driving, in my opinion. At least judging by their insistence on the 21 year old drinking age, which is one of the most stupid policies to be shat out from government in the...

Call for anything in the West Plaza and they're generally rather cavalier about things. Though they do have to put up with a lot of idiots running around here.

What was on the pink/red sign before the bad photoshop job? Makes me think something else was on the white one.... Don't be stupid. On this photo the only use of Photoshop was to add the vignetting on the edges, and apply the watermarks. You think I'm actually going to invent stupid signs to make f...

Because as I've said before, some people will not relent with their devil's-advocacy contrarianism no matter how far it goes to make them look dopey.

I'll have to chime in with another pat on the back to Pot for getting that picture publicized.  I know how tough that can be sometimes.  I still think it would be 100x better if the light sprites weren't so overblown and out of context.  Maybe that's your thing, but it detracts from the rest of the...

Are we not a mixture of constitutional republicanism and democracy from a legal and political framework in the same way that we're a mixture of a capitalist and socialist (mostly capitalist in US of course) financial and social framework? (by the way, anyone who acts like there's a strict demarcatio...

Pretty sure Toss has posted pics on this very website in the past of various protests of a more leftest persuasion.  Toss seems to like pics from urban gatherings.  Indeed. Photos from most any gathering really. Even online gatherings, except this particular one has looked the same for some time no...

No way they're keeping under-21 people out of the whole theater. And it was my impression that the Marquee is fairly laid-back, no reservations needed. Or something.

Oh yeah, I'm afraid. With me perched from the bottom of the Memorial with my telephoto lens trained on the crowd. Of the signage, this was the worst.

The first part you italicized is for sure correct. However the second part is meaningless, generic pablum, in keeping with his very typical outlook towards the urban environment.

Bwa-hahha, what a couple of maroons...





At the behest of provoking flames, I thought I'd put this photo here instead of making a new thread in KC Photos for it.

And while we're at it can anyone describe a dignified way of crossing Pershing between the Station and the Liberty Memorial without having to either traipse over to Main and cross that traffic-sewer of a clusterfuck, or just take one's chances dashing across Pershing? It's totally fouled up urban la...

thanks guys.

yeah, the star trek movie will be my most anticipated of whatever's going to be playing at the May opening. I'll be there May 8th.

I thought that's the way business is done everywhere.

Board of Trade people and nearby environs are practically the Mixx's gravytrain.

Max, I had mentioned the other day about the Plaza's own West Edge development being our potential, metaphorical Ryugyong Hotel.

....because I was just wondering.
