This is my dog, the photo was taken some day ago (12th of March) when the new lens arrived.
I post this as in these few days the dog is suffering by some aches we cannot identify...
Nothing to worry too much about as it is only puking what he eats...
I remembered this shot and decided to publish it...
Heal yourself fast Ranma!
From the Image's EXIF:
Exposure Time: 1/39 sec.
ISO Speed Rating: 200
Obviously flash did not fire!
Here in ITaly we play rugby... just to say it all our most widespread sport is soccer, then you'll have many other more famous sports and in the end you'll have rugby... but we play it!
Our national representative (Italy Rugby Team) plays in the 6 Nations' Tournament every year.
England, France, Galles, Ireland, Italy and Scotland meet each other in the field once every year... it's really a show time!
Last Sunday we went seeing the match in the house of a frien d of ours (Italy has lost! :() and after losing the game I realized there was an almost perfect vignette to portrait.
I've taken this shot in portrait and later cropped to have a landscape as I was not fully sure how the sun reflection on the cars would have been after working with GIMP...
To say it all the effect was awful... so I cut them out!
The original photo was taken with a Nikon d300 and the 18-200 VRII, it was taken at F/13 with a shutter speed of 1/200" and at ISO 200.
This photo is an experiment in aperture...
I wanted to get only the reflection on some glasses you can find in a Castellammare's Pub where we usually go Friday's night.
The read light is from one of the neon enhanced mirrors you can find in pubs (I really do not know how properly address them) but I've enhanced the red component in PP when setting up UFRAW to import the photo in GIMP (yeah I know it is not PS3... But I have got that^_^)
This obviously has cancelled exif datas. But If I remember well this was taken with the d300 with 18/200 VR with a shutter speed of 1/3" and an aperture of f/4.0 (some more than f/3.5 as it is not taken at 18mm).
Obviously it was shot with a low ISO setting (200 or 300 ISO... seriously no more than that!).
One night in Pinerolo I went out in the garden seeking for the umts line I needed to make a call...
Coming back I realized that the onwer of the resort had placed a spotlight just under a tree...
It was a really inspiring sight... so let the photo speak for me!
No exif comment for it.^_^ (joking^_^ f/2.8 and 1/10 sec)
The first morning in the hotel in Pinerolo I took some shots of the path I needed to follow to break my fast!
Later on, reviewing the photos (more than 1200 shots in a tenday) I noticed that this hotel corridor remembered me the one from shining.
Yes the movie...
ok ok the movie one was different... larger corridor and different colors and the banding is lower... and is even far more darker than the overlighted corridors of the movie... but I got that feeling watching it...
Maybe looking at the photo you'll find out why (it is not a joke... it's a hope!^_^)
f/2.8 and 1/60 " are technical data of this photo (ISO 200 os 400 from the grainess of the shot!)
Ok it has been a long time since last update... but job took me away from blogging :(
I contnue the Pinerolo's Reportage with a really beautiful vegetables' store.
It's not a temporary one! It is a normal store... a pure Brick one^_^
Here in Naples we do not have things like that... shure we have stores with boxes out in hte street (it's the norm for this kind of stores) but neither as tidily organize...
It looked nice!
And it wasn't attacheb to a wall or something like that, but it gone out of the portcully without even hindrance the casual walker.
This is really something we should learn!
1/200 secs of exposure and f/4.0 aperture for this shot!
