Yesterday I went out to visit Centralia, PA - crossing one thing off my bucket list of things to do in the process. For those who don't know, Centralia is the site of a underground coal fire that has been burning since the 1960s. Most of the residents have left (some willingly, some forced out)...

Here's someone who's doing it with a point and shoot. If yours supports exposure bracketing then I'd suggest you just use that feature. It will save you a lot of hassle. http://www.veryinteractivepeople.com/?p=231

RAW doesn't have all of the exposure levels. There's no way to change the aperture or shutter speed once an image has been snapped. Changing the aperture between shots will mess up your depth of field, so you'll likely have some blurriness. You would want to keep the aperture the same and...

I don't think so. What you really need is a tripod and a camera that will do exposure bracketing. (IE: Take one picture underexposed, regular, and overexposed.) The camera can't really move between the three shots, hence the need for a tripod.

Make each exposure level it's own pano and then have the software chew on the three panos. But yes, that sounds like a royal pain.

I used Photomatix. I also tried Qtpfsgui (now called Luminance, but it was way too cumbersome.)

Fixed.

Nah, it's not Microsoft. :)

Yes. Every browser should be seeing it. It's a bug. :)

Yeah, I know. Did an upgrade yesterday and it changed some things around. I'll try to fix it tomorrow.

Yesterday I went to the Thomas Clark house and Princeton Battlefield to try out some HDR photography. HDR is short for high dynamic range - basically you take three (or more) images of the same scene, one underexposed, one overexposed, and one just right and use some special software to merge...

Also, the "no right click to download" thing is easily defeated. If you're concerned about someone taking your photos, you ought to watermark them somehow.

Well, buried it to keep the looters away.

Jumping back into the thread late. The other Quaker Bridge is up by me in Princeton. It crosses over the D&R Canal by Port Mercer: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=40.30486174978813&lng=-74.6845006942749&z=16&type=m&gpx= There's a Quaker meetinghouse up the road, right before the Princeton...

New Jerseyans just don't care about history. If we had our own Gettysburg or Valley Forge, maybe. There's plenty of history around, but nothing that has a truly compelling story that makes people want to learn more. All folks in Jersey care about is the beach, Bruce Springsteen, and the stadiums...

Missus Turtle, actually. ;)

I think the Basil T's in Toms River went out of business.

I really like Pan's old photos. Simply amazing to see!

How did it feel spending what the car was worth to get it towed? :ninja:

LOL
