I'm riding around Strasbourg atm, and will post some photos when I'm home and have the time (next few days are busy so some time before next week). Sorry, can't resize photos on the phone. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a thread about it, "another option for protection padding", can't paste the link for some reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bob Eisenman Posted October 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) It's been 16 months since I took a bus trip to Washington DC, riding my Ninebot around the National Mall and nearby sights. I didn't realize the not far from the familiar sight of the National Mall reflecting pool (between it and the Lincoln Memorial ) was another perspective of the Washington Monument The guys five years older than I had it tougher than me during the Viet Nam war, medical deferment aside. My draft card came in 1971 during freshman year in college. Edited October 17, 2017 by Bob Eisenman 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black statues and auto white balance made an interesting effect. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanghamP Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's a type of green caused by the oxidation of bronze/copper. My camera often doesn't know what to do when it detect faces AND a color most living humans don't have, and so the pictures that come out are often unexpected.

I wonder if that's why color film photography wasn't popular for decades even though the tech was available for rather cheap(er) since the 1910's; it's so easy to screw up white balance when you weren't in the daylight that most people simply went to black and white film. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who did my own colour developing and printing for years using an enlarger with a colour head that allowed me to dial in any colour balance I wanted, it really was cost not difficulty getting a white balance that kept people using black and white for a long time. Also for longevity in (say) wedding photography, black and white pictures lasted so much better. Until Cibachrome came out colour pictures would fade very badly if exposed to the light for long. In practice the only colour I could afford when young was slides, which at least means I still have them in good order and dated right back to around 1968. Whilst processing labs had automated white balance capability with a good lab checking the results and modifying anything that wasn’t good enough. Home processing did need multiple test strips and had to be done in complete darkness and with temperature controlled to less than half a degree. So at home black and white was a hell of a lot easier and the results could be watched appearing under a red safety light and developing stopped as soon as the picture was the right density. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Eisenman Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I GPS tracked another ride today with my Raspberry Pi - GPS- portable battery device. My goal was to reach Beverly airport west side. On the Halloween - Salem witch trial (1692) theme took a route which passes by the recently confirmed site of the hangings which followed the trial. This site is actually a considerable distance from downtown Salem, Massachusetts which was CRAWLING WITH HALLOWEEN tourists when I passed by them in the downtown area later in the ride. For some reason I had nothing but enthusiastic comments from walkers and cars passing by me. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/15/salem-witch-trials-hangings-location-confirmed-proctors-ledge The route is shown here followed by a public link to a Google map. The icon on the map is the place where the hangings took place. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qdpP6VP6ABSLtM8Dcic4iv9viv4&usp=sharing Edited October 21, 2017 by Bob Eisenman sp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much yellow-green leaf color. https://imgoat.com/uploads/82c8d1619a/52347.jpg After midnight last night a guy and girl were walking along the street , after the nearby restaurant closed. The girls voice sounded loud, frightened and giddy all at the same time. The guy kept shouting 'I'm one hundred percent' and sounded disappointed. Maybe he picked up the tab for the meal and drinks.

Very few boats were left by late afternoon. Lots of spectators though along the Charles river. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
