Neat pictures I've taken - Page 103

Finally at home in Houston after a month in Wales. I transferred my UK trip images from my travel hard drive to my desktop one and had 56GB of images, around 2400 in total.

Here is one of the last shots I took, I had just rounded a corner on a small rural road and came upon a heard of small breed horses and saw this foal standing close to the mother. Color wasn't great so I changed it to a sepia toned B&W.

Ripley took this for me a little bit ago. Came up behind this awesome dog and her human in traffic. Guy said the dog had been riding for 6 years. I love her goggles.

Cookin' meth in a swamp, or whut?

BigV · 06-07-2012, 09:56 PM

that's actually a great picture. I love it. When I loaded the image, none of the junk in the foreground was visible. I could only see it when I scrolled down from the bucolic summer scene at the top. shocker!

I took a bike ride down a road that leads to the bay. I stopped to admire the view and this was the mess I walked into.

Thank you!

I got that too.

Have you ever seen the movie Baraka?

I love it.

I hope that's something my local movie rental store (or maybe my library) will have. I just read the Wikipedia article about it, and it sounds interesting.

BigV · 06-10-2012, 02:45 PM

It is visually arresting. I also just finished the wiki article, it sounds about right. I don't have the video display capable of taking advantage of the new dvd/blu-ray release but it does sound tasty.

The comparisons to the Qatsi series are also apt. I have all three of them as well. They are powerful, moving experiences. I give them my highest recommendation.

Wikipedia quote (Re: "Baraka"):

Quote:

Following previous DVD releases, in 2007 the original 65 mm negative was re-scanned at 8K (a horizontal resolution of 8192 pixels) with equipment designed specifically for Baraka at FotoKem Laboratories. The automated 8K film scanner, operating continuously, took more than three weeks to finish scanning more than 150,000 frames (taking approximately 12–13 seconds to scan each frame), producing over 30 terabytes of image data in total. After a 16-month digital intermediate process, including a 96 kHz/24 bit audio remaster by Stearns for the DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack of the film, the result was re-released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in October, 2008. Project supervisor Andrew Oran says this remastered Baraka is "arguably the highest quality DVD that's ever been made".[2] Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert describes the Blu-ray release as "the finest video disc I have ever viewed or ever imagined."

Emphasis mine.

Does anyone have suitable equipment to view this or support the critic mentioned's argument?
