I'm not good at taking pictures and I need a new camera! The glare is from the window. I did learn something today that I didn't know before. It's not painted on cardboard! My mother-inlaw has always just called it cardboard and maybe it's sort of like cardboard. Do you remember that thin pressed board that would be on the back of old console TVs, or what they made little kid record players out of. It is sort of like almost pressed board but if you break it in half it is like glorified cardboard that might even have some sort of fiber made up in it. Anyway, it's oil based paint, painted on that, in around 1942. It's looking faded and dirty and at some point, push is going to come to shove and we'll need to take it somewhere to have someone look at it.

From today's AKC agility trial held under a pavilion on a rainy day. Getting a good exposure was not easy today!

thanks for sharing this piture with us it looks to be in good condstion to me
if you want to clean it you can take Q-tips dipped in distild water and lightly and slowly clean it in smal serculer mostions taks time but it will clean the dust off the surfice but if you rub to long and to hard it can lift the varnishes that most artist ues to seel there work but looking at it id say its not been seeled as it would have yellowed by now and it doint look yelloed to me at all as a mater of fact for 1942 it looks almost brand new id say the board its on it probly some sort of fiber board mostly mad of pine fiber which out of all the wood you could use is vary acid if that fram is pine you sould take ot off emideatly it will ruin the painting over time the best woods to ues for frams are tropical they are fairly nutral like teek or mahohany i ues only mahogan frames no pine or ash or charry paer percimon or any other fruit woods theas are all highly acidic in nature if you do desice to replace the fram make sure that just becaus it looks like mahogany that it is in fact thers alot of cheep pine frams dyed to look like mahogany thats how they keep the cost down

Mitchel those pictures look great. Im sure you might have answered this before but what equipment did you use to take these?

Thanks Alex, for these I used a Nikon D90 and a 75-300mm lens.

Oooh ..... well, there was a white film across the picture from the glare so I clicked on 'auto fix' and it made the colors so much prettier!! It really looks somewhere in the middle of the original photo and the vibrant color one. But it IS in good condition, I hope for the age and all the unknowns about it. It is turning a sort of yukky color on the low sky line on each side of Mt Shasta and into the trees to the left. Ric made the frame and he thinks it's oak and then he rubbed a stain on it. If we need to take it off we surely will. I've learned so much in these few posts from you!! I will take a q-tip and some distilled water and rub just a little on a corner and then let it sit for a month or so and if nothing happens I'll do a little more.

Do you remeber your settings you use in your camera? aperture, shutter speed ISO......etc........or automatic. I still don't get the clear picture that your pics are showing.

you dont have to let it sit you will know right away if the water is going to take to much away some times if it dos lift the vatnish its a good thing if its all yellowed

i think this has been a good topic for this thread as many of you have photos that are well loved althoue cookie and i have been discusing paintings much of what iv said alsow is aplicabal to photos its inportint if you are palning on printing them that they be on the best quality paper you can find alwas ues arcival photo paper and inks no point in priting somthing thats not going to last perticulerly if you go to the exspence of having them custome framed why risck it for just a few dollers more you get at leas a sum what long turm pice of art no art is forever but we can insure it last a wile and besids you may think its yours but in the end you never know were that pice will go after you are long gone sorry but thats the nature of art people save it and rarly if ever distro it so its going to be around this is why if you take that photot and fame it you sould sign it and date aslow its good to say what it is on the back if you wright on a pice of paper and put on back it could become separated and aslow as iv pointed out you wouldint want to put a bad pice of acidic paper on the back of your arcival photot it would set in to mostion the proceses of detiroration just some things to think about

For that group of photos I had settings like this.

Shutter speed 1/800. I would have used 1/1000 but I didn't have enough light and I didn't want to bump the ISO any higher.

Aperture was changing due to focal length changes depending on how far I zoomed in but it was mostly around 5 This lens goes from 4.5 at it's shortest length to 5.6 fully zoomed. It's what's called a slow lens. Someday I'll get an upgrade for it.

ISO was set to 2000

White balance was set to cloudy

EV was neutral for the most part.

No flash

4.5 frames per second burst speed

saved as jpg fine

Thank you so much.

I also saved the above on my files as permanent files.

Like I said before the sensor in your camera can't handle too much ISO without creating a bunch of noise. Just keep that in mind.

You might also want to purchase Neat Image to remove the noise from the pictures.

Neat Image - best noise reduction for digital cameras and scanners

For that last group of agility pics I did use one, but when I have good light I don't bother, not even with the 300mm lens.

John those are the weirdest seeds I've ever seen!!! Now I want one of those plants! I looked those seeds up online and it just gets more odd reading that the seeds have animal pigment in them.

Animal pigment? Can you expound on this at all or link a source? The biologist in me is interested. Normally orange in plants results from carotene...which is found only in plants. Things like carrots, pumpkins, cantaloupe and sweet potatoes all contain carotene. Anthocyanin is another pigment commonly found in plants that results in purple and reds in stems/fruit. Things like black raspberries, eggplant, grapes, cherries and oranges all have anthocyanin.

As far as human pigment goes...the ones that come to mind right now are melanin, lutein and zeaxanthin. Of these, melanin is the only one produced in your body (by melanocytes). Melanin is a dark brown pigment found in all over the body responsible for dark skin, tanning, brown eye pigment, etc. Lutein and zeaxanthin are both collected from food sources (dark green leafy vegetables, corn, peas and egg yolks). Once again, these two are types of carotenoids. Both appear as orange-red in concentration.

Just a small plug here about optometry...both lutein and zeaxanthin are very important in the eye as antioxidants to defend against oxidative insult but also as pigments to absorb certain colors of light to provide better color discrimination, improve overall quality of central vision. Eating a diet with plenty of foods that contain these vital pigments such as green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli, swiss chard, etc) and eggs can decrease your risk of developing cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (the top two causes of significant vision loss)....so EAT YOUR GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES!!!

LOL...aight now I'm just ranting. So yeah...I'd definitely like to know more about the animal pigment aspect if you have more info.

And sorry for the 'full frontal nerdity.'

"full frontal nerdity" :ha: I made a mistake.. they were the white flowers with I think red fuzzy on the seeds if that makes a difference.

First Discovery Of 'Animals-only' Pigment Bilirubin In Plants

Re: Share an image!
 
Bilirubin, huh? Interesting. That's a breakdown product of blood which is found in bile, the intestines, blood, urine and many other places in the body. That's kinda odd that it's found in plant seeds. Thanks for getting back to me with the article!

Again, not an image, but well worth seeing. It's called "Absolute fun according to Russian Youth" :

YouTube - magadan.flv

They are brave, I wouldn't do it for anything. Soon after they started jumping out, several policemen came and started chasing those boys. I wonder what those boys were accused from, after the police caught them. :ha:
