Very nice! What's your take on using Portra 400 vs. Astia? Did you carry around both and pick them for the scene at hand?

In the case of "Sankaber Sunset" I shot it on both Astia and Portra because I suspected that the sky wouldn't have much color/detail on Astia while still maintaining shadow detail, and I was right - I ended up going with the Portra version.Quote:

By the way do you speak russian.

You lean visually?
Yes some people are auditory learners, some visual, some need physical action/experiential memory.Quote:

This is why in school they have you listen, write down the info, then re-read it, and speak it out loud, to cover all the bases of different types of learning so that overall you have a good chance at remembering the information.
Some people are the extreme like "photographic memory" where some people literally can remember everything they have ever seen, including visualizing a single page in a book they read 10 years ago and being able to recite the whole page and tell you the page number etc, probably the date they read it, and other details, but those are extreme cases.
So I'm a visual learner, I memorize by seeing, I'm not able to photograph the memory per-say but much more prone to learning by seeing.
Very nice. We can talk sometimes. Russian is my native. I was born there.
Lean is different to learn.Quote:

Too bright light and no clouds to be an interesting picture. I was merely testing Fomapan 200 @ 125. Souped in Rodinal 1+50, 9 min. I am quite happy with the results.

I am inclined to agree but if you crop to just below the trees I really like the subtle lines that lead tot he hill.
I agree with this. IMHO, the image would be much stronger (cleaner/simpler) as a panorama with the foreground cropped away. The foreground only distracts from the otherwise very beautiful composition.Quote:

I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
As much as I hate to admit it, I believe Stone is right. Human beings, for the most part, learn visually. I know I do. And we learn far better with multiple sensory input... visual + auditory + tactile (hands-on)... even olfactory and taste sometimes.
No, there are a variety of learning styles, everyone is a little different.Quote:

This is a common topic in education courses (one of my undergraduate degrees is in education). The Wikipedia mentions the hypothesis is "contested" but I think the main issue is non of us are wholly one type or another.
Personally I discovered ages ago I am a kinesthetic learner. Getting my hands dirty and working through problems works well for me. Hence why the technical parts of photography, music, and other things have come naturally to me.
Thank you! I made a recomposition according to your advise :)Quote:

Antero... I think that's a wonderful image. I like it very much. Have you considered a little feathered burning of the foreground and sky? Not too much... just enough to darken the top and bottom a little bit. This will help anchor the edges and gently draw the eye to the center.
I like this shot with the foreground included, to each their own I suppose :)Quote:

Let me make it clear - I'm not saying that presenting things in different ways has no value, or that people don't have preferred modes of receiving information, but according to many there is not sufficient evidence to indicate that understanding is greater when presentation is matched with the preferred mode.
Here's a starting point:

Others echo what he says, but I'm open to reading any studies suggesting otherwise! :)
Corran,
I would suggest that your need to get your hands dirty simply suggests that the things you are learning involve getting your hands dirty - the referenced article alludes to matching the learning approach with the content.
Not to veer too far off-topic but what I mean is after I do something with my hands once I know and understand it, such as writing out a math problem and going through the steps to solve it, while just listening to a lecture or seeing it done on a whiteboard doesn't do anything for me. Another example was a tough class with a lot of reading. I read while walking a 1/2 mile to the class and for some reason retained more than I have ever done in a heavy reading class, which I was never good at. Anecdotal I know, but there it is.
Yes, a person must actively engage in learning for it to be effective!
Again, for those of you that have any interest at all, the two books I referenced initially are both enjoyable and informative. (And both are based on research.)
OK, I'll let it go now. :D
I hope no one minds. I find educational theory quite interesting. When I got into the classroom with little snot-nosed punks, I found it less so (no offence to those with children...).
I enjoy teaching in a collegiate setting much more.

Off topic comments in the right thread tend to keep me paying attention, No one knows if I'm learning anything, or how.
Cool your jets OnF, it's not that big a deal.
Oh, I wasn't complaining. I'm just too weak-minded to understand the joke.:)Quote:

Getting around to making contact sheets to file with the negatives last night. I was real pleased with the contact print for this, so I made a couple solarized variations, this being my favorite. I put the overhead light on for about 2s while it was about 1/3 developed in the dektol. 8x10 seagull rc vc paper.
