[photos] - Chapel Shoot

Following up with more of the chapel shoot. As mentioned, I don't think I'm nearly ruthless enough in cutting shoots down, so any votes for "This shot *must* be kept" or "You could drop that one" would be appreciated. (Feel free to comment on the flickr site, just click through the pic to get there, or use the link above.)

Some random links and geekery

* This might be an interesting group: Oyate is a Native organization working to see that our lives and histories are portrayed honestly, and so that all people will know our stories belong to us.

* Why didn't I know about Sybil Ludington?

*Advanced Dungeons & Discourse - for my philosophy gamer friends.

* People standing up for Sisko and Janeway.

I personally have always been pro-Sisko, but dropped Voyager early. After reading this:

In the 7 of 9 era, the characters and roles were slightly reshuffled, until the ship was led by a triumvirate of strong women. In fact, the ship, and the show, were led by the three archetypes of crone, mother, and virgin (that's Janeway, Torres, and 7 of 9 to you.) It took a little while for these roles to shake out, but watching them develop was thrilling. And watching how Voyager took these three archetypes and thoroughly subverted them, was even more thrilling.

I almost want to give the second half of Voyager a try.

Zotique L'Esperance

Just encountered that name in a radio documentary on Les Canadiens de Montréal - I love it.

I think we're hitting the weaker pics as the sun went down and we lost the light.

Again, thoughts on which to keep and which to throw are welcome. (Especially with multiple crops and white balances of the same shot.)

By this point the sun had set and so we decided to work with the overhead work light in the side door of the church.

I notice as the light goes, figuring out how to get decent colours becomes more complicated. (Well, this is all about me learning.) I probably should have used the flash more, but I thought I liked the super-saturated colour of the dim light. In retrospect, I think that may have been the wrong trade off, given the noise of such high iso.

This set has lots more duplicates as I try to figure out what I can and can't tweak with the colours - so again, any thoughts/votes on which to keep and which to throw are encouraged.

And now for something completely different

As a break for those of you who really don't want to see my photography... I present some hardcore geeking.
