<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23254667</link>
<description><![CDATA[You've all met Bodie ( http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=155511 ) thanks to Kris (uid://1349232) and he'd like to ask the community here to do a VERY important something that you do so well. I got the following e-mail from Kris so I thought I'd pass it along.

said by Kris' e-mail  :Please click on the link below for Pet Finder and vote for the shelter that Chelle adopted Bodie from. If you put in the search field Almost Heaven and WV it will auto-pop the shelter. Just click on the shelter and vote pleasssssssseeeeeee...and you can vote once a day too.... The shelter that gets the most votes gets a donation to help with their rescues. Bodie is a precious boy and with out this shelter he wouldnt have been blessed with being saved. Thanks in advance to everyone for your votes!!!! Please fwd this to everyone you know for votes!!
 
PLEASE vote here!!!
 Thanks so much for all your help! :)
Please remember that it's a daily vote and it could be worth A LOT of money for the shelter.
EDIT: Here is the official Almost Heaven Rescue web site.]]></description>

<title>Some Hot Shots.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23356148</link>
<description><![CDATA[No, not girlie shots real hot shots. On Monday 11/16/09 the Broward Sheriff&#146;s Office Fire Rescue Division did a controlled simulation of the dangers of using deep fry turkey cookers and I grabbed a few stills while my cameraman taped the simulation. 

The boil-over simulation consisted of placing a partially frozen turkey into an overfilled deep fryer with the oil heated to 450 degrees, needless to say the results where something you wouldn&#146;t want to have at your home though last year a few people here in Broward County did just that with disastrous results which in one case resulted in not only a very badly burned chef but the total loss of his home as well.

At least we didn&#146;t have to call 911.

Bottom line be safe and enjoy this Thanksgiving.

<title>[Game] Can you identify this...?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20414826</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok, I thought of a new game. Its like this:

I post a picture, and you've got to identify it. 
Whoever posts the right answer gets to post the next picture. 

Simple, right?

Just make sure your pictures are not all that easy to identify. No hints allowed, and pics should not be less than 800 x 600 px

I'll start. My image is up there. Now guess :)]]></description>

<title>Scanning old slides</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23394493</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just had a project dumped on me, my mother in law has about 1000 35mm slides taken in the early 50's, she wants me to put them on DVD.

I'm using Viewscan with a HP scanner, just wondering if I can get more color or sharpness, here's a sample of what I'm getting.]]></description>

<title>&#x22;Bokeh panorama&#x22; technique</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23375356</link>
<description><![CDATA[Has anyone else ever tried the Bokeh Panorama technique? I've been messing around with it for the last week or so. I haven't really tried to do anything very artistic yet, just trying to become familiar with the method of shooting the images and getting comfortable with software needed.

You take lots of pictures with a shallow depth of field, then stitch them together to create the impression of medium format or large format photography. The results can be pretty dramatic.

This image was about 20 images stitched together.

All of the above photos were taken with a Nikkor 85mm wide open @ f/1.4 to achieve the limited depth of field. Through trial and error it seems that having some of the image in front of the focus plane exaggerates the effect. You don't need to use a large file, I used a standard large fine jpeg out of my camera and I ended up with a 400mb file once stitched together lol. You can just use the "small jpeg" straight out of you camera unless you want huge images, you also don't have to really worry about using high ISO either since each frame is a small part of the final image, any noise just basically disappears. 
 

There are some web sites with instructions on how to achieve this affect sometimes referred to as the "Brenizer Method"
http://blog.buiphotography.com/2009/07/the-brenizer-method-explained-with-directions/

http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/get-greater-depth-of-field-with-brenizer-method/

There is a Flickr group with lots of sample images as well.

I hope some of you give this a try, it is always nice to learn something new that expands your portfolio.]]></description>
