July PUG is up

When the Berlin Wall came down, short sections were left as a reminder
that it had existed. My photo was of one such section - can't remember
which bit.

I agree that this is a great gallery!

My first thought was to use one of my images from Taos, but I quickly
realized AnnSan would do that, and hers would be much better than mine!
Then I went to the Great Wall or the Acropolis, but those are pretty
cliche.  Since I love Japanese architecture, I finally decided on one from
our trip to Japan a few years ago.

I went to  Bruce Nagel's website, to try to discover what and where
BHN0002 is, but he is as mysterious there as in his PUG entry.

I also found "The Brutal Architecture of Repression" by Alistair Lax quite
mysterious.  I believe it is a museum jof state terror in Berlin.

I think Bill Robb's "Prairie Sentinel" is my overall favorite followed
by Mark Cassino's abstract image.

Officially my favorite gallery this year!  Love this stuff, and the
variety the subject inspired.

The best thing is that it looks like no one had to struggle to find a
photo of theirs that fit the bill - everyone who participated seemed to
have a favorite that jumped out of their files as being subject matter
that compelled them to shoot... Ok, I'm projecting (no pun) my situation
but I bet it is true for most if not all..especially since there are
photos in the PUG by more than the usual suspects.

I was expecting a Milwaukee Art Museum image from Paul Sorenson, did not expect Mark C. to swim across the lake to that venue. It was worth the trip…

Thanks Paul, Stan and Daniel for liking my picture this month.

It wasn't the picture I wanted, but it was the picture I got. I had
wanted to be on the other side of the building and do a hopefully not
too cliched sunset shot.

Unfortunately, there had been a whole bunch of rain in the few days
prior, and when I drove onto what passes as an approach road (read dirt
path), my truck bogged down and started to sink. Deciding that
discretion is the better part of valor, I backed out before the truck
got totally swallowed and drove back to the highway to hopefully find a
view that worked.

I hadn't taken my really long lens kit with me, as my intended picture
would have required a wide angle. Consequently, even the 70-210 was
really too short, as the structure is quite far off the highway. I could
probably have used my 600mm lens for that picture.

Being the dumb dumb that I am, I left the back door of the truck ajar
while shooting the picture, and the cab filled up with mosquitoes, so I
spent the hour and a quarter drive home fending off the little
bloodsuckers..

When I opened the file in Camera Raw, I processed it using the new
Enhance tool, taking the file up to 144mp and then did a fairly deep crop.

I think, all things considered, that it worked out fairly well.

thanks again

bill
