Digital BW, The Print

I've been playing with a Hubble image of a nebula and one of my old images.  I'm happy to say our B&W printing techniques work very well in displaying these space images.  

My muses don't like this style, but it's fun.  In general, I don't do composites.  I'll probably display one of these in a Gallery Los Olivos show in January and February where we're encouraging people to do something different.  I'm interested what others think.

You are right, Paul.  B&W works very well with this nebula.  I found the seeming turbulence of the nebula quite a contrast to the serenity of the sand.  It is an image that makes one pause and think a bit.  Thanks for sharing.  I went to the NASA site you referenced and spent some time looking at these amazing images.  There is a book out called "The Hand of God," whioh prints many of the Hubble images with some philosophical thoughts.  Nancy

OT But a few of you might be interested in seeing some photos from today's
PEOPLE'S MARCH at the G-20 in PGH.

Hi folks, a few new photos from today's PEOPLE'S MARCH  at the G-20, here in
Pittsburgh, PA.
They will only be up for a few days, so here's a direct link them.

As the great photographer WEEGEE once said

"A photograph is like a blintz, you gotta eat it while it's hot"

As always,  Thanks for looking.

I too was there.  Filled 8mb of memory with my D3.  Great opertunity for photographing some social statements, and colorful people.  I have been viewing, and printing images of the march all day today.  The diversity of the people making up the demonstration was wonderful.  The seven mile hike healthful.

Thanks Ben, I was just there for the start of the march, about 1,1/2 hours.
It was fun, and thankfully peaceful.
