Well almost. The early flowers are blooming. My sister has a green thumb. I swear she could plant a broomstick and get a hickory tree  Canon T90 Canon 80-200   |

Wow! I've got Spring Fever really bad! It's supposed to snow all weekend and get down to 10 degrees F tonight. I can't wait to get my old Dodge Pickup out and rumble around in it!

Jay, I would honestly love to take my old '64 Willys jeep truck and ramble around with you. I was always fascinated by the show Northern Exposure and would love to spend a winter up north or out west

Yeah, we're still waiting for spring but things are beginning to warm up. I have a '91 Cherokee that I use to get up into the hills. Planning to get some serious photographing done this summer. ;D

BTW Rick, if you don't mind my asking: How do you get your shots so crisp? Do you enlarge them and scan them at high res? Inquiring mind want to know  Steve |

First you have to start with a very sharp photo, then turn the sharpening off when scanning. Scan the negative to original size. I scan at 16 bit and 4800 DPI which gives me a large working file allowing me to crop a considerable bit. Then I use Nik Sharpener pro. For the web i would use settings of around 2-300 percent with a radius of around.03 and a threshold of 0 for an 800 pixel image in unsharp mask

Probably my problem is that I'm not scanning at a high enough resolution. Is Nik Sharpener Pro a stand alone? Thanks for the help Rick  Steve |

No it is a PS plug in and I also use Neat image for noise and excessive grain from using hi speed film
