What does the 'V' sign, with the two fingers mean? In the US, it means 'victory' or 'peace', but when I was in Beijing, I noticed many of the Chinese posing for photos while making the 'V' symbol. Does it mean the same to the Chinese?

Love the new photos of Mei, hope there's more you plan to share.

Chris, someone is using your pictures of Mei on yahoo's 360 website. The profile name is chinadollmei. I sent an email to yahoo to report it, but they said it had to come from you. Good luck!

The weight is not too bad but the balance is a good point. I believe most L zooms will be heavier than the non L counterparts. The 2.8 aperture also adds weight due to more glass being used.

I've heard great things about that lens and your galleries have many wonderful examples of how well it performs. I have been thinking about getting it but I'm concerned by the weight and how it would balance on a 20D.

Thanks. As of now I only have a 24-70 f/2.8L. -Chris

Chris, Great pictures. What lenses do you use?

EclecticPhoto		01-Nov-2004 16:10
Yes, I usually use Photoshop or C1. I shoot RAW images so I need to convert them to jpg and I make several adjustments in the process such as adjustments in saturation, white balance, hue, exposure, shadows, etc. These are settings available in Photoshop CS ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) plugin. Lastly, I do some sharpening and sometimes use a program to reduce any noise.

I'm copying ur explanations down and paste to a doc. lol And yeah, did you use photoshop for those pics? like coloring and stuff?

guest		01-Nov-2004 01:25
so pretty, both the view and the girl.Thanks for sharing. I love those pictures so much. And I have a question, did you guys do some edition work like Photoshop?

EclecticPhoto		31-Oct-2004 17:10
Li, do you mean this one? http://www.pbase.com/eclecticphoto/image/32188378 This was done with a low shutter speed. This is a 1/2 second exposure. I needed to use the polarizer to allow such a slow shutter speed and not overexpose it. Then it was up to Mei to be VERY still like a statue. I also had the camera on a tripod. As far as the camera, I don't think the lenses on any fixed lens camera can compare to a good SLR lens. Also, compact cameras have a lot of other limitations such as little creative control of depth of field, too much noise in low light conditions, fewer choices in focal lengths, etc. Being able to narrow the depth of field allows you to seperate the subject from the background. Smaller lenses have more depth of field because the largest aperture (the iris in the lens) of 2.8 is still much smaller in diameter than that in a larger SLR lens. Larger iris openings let in more light and at the same time narrow the focus plane. It would be difficult to do the shot I mentioned above with a Powershot since you probably cannot attach any filters to it. Therefore a 1/2 second exposure in that light would be overexposed.

Thanks for the tip ^^ One more question, i saw one picture where she was next to a creek, and the creek stream seems to stop or paused. How was this done? BTW, i have it Cannon powershot s230, is the optic good for this one? or i should get something better.

EclecticPhoto		31-Oct-2004 14:18
Hi Li, I use a digital camera so yes, it can be done with a digital camera. What you are commenting about is the result of pixel level sharpness. That means if you look at the image full size straight out of the camera and it's still sharp then you have good pixel level sharpness. My Olympus D-40 P&S camera produces images that look blurry at full size and they must be downsampled and sharpened to have decent quality. On the other hand, full size images from my 1D are extremely sharp when properly focused. The most important thing is good optics and unfortunately they come at a price. These: http://www.pbase.com/eclecticphoto/full_size are a few full size images from the 1DMarkII that I now use.

another question, how can i make the colors brighter in the pic (just like the second picture from left in the second row). thanks
