Did you actually get this in New Orleans? I really want to know where they have masks because I've only been to the states a few times.

Yes. I got the mask itself in the French Quarter Market... It's REALLY small... maybe 2 inches...

WOW! Thats one amazing shot.

It is so clean, crisp and the soft focus on the shiny bits (but not the head part) works very well.

Amazing how its 30% max resolution and the subject is only 1inch tall!

Amazing

But beautiful all the same.

That's a very well executed macro. The DOF is perfect as it blurs the litttle sparkly bits, awesome.

ink-brains2 [2003-10-27 18:20:22 +0000 UTC]

nice close-up shot... i really like the capture of colours and all that glinty shiny bits... i think a front-view shot wouldve been pretty cool as well but i dont know if you would've been able to do that... this looks like its in a glass display case or something. anyway, nice shot

Yea... that's what I was playing with... the face of the thing is only about 1 inch tall in real life, so I'm pretty happy.

yeah that's what's truly got me beyond amazed.. I'm not used to seeing digi-pics of that high a quality without some serious editing. It truly does defeate the purpose of film.

fdpiech In reply to iaini-diamantia [2003-10-27 15:54:06 +0000 UTC]

To a point... with this... I could effectivly get a good print almost up to poster size, but with film you can go farther.

After seeing so many of these just the other night...and now that I'm back at work and kinda missing the place...this has more meaning for me now.

Thank you.
