Sistem pics 2003

"so you have to increase the ambient light a lot more than you are at the mo"

He's got plenty of light he just needs to learn how to use his camera and/or the software properly.

I struggle to think what sort of flash cannot successfully illuminate a hifi from 3ft. away -- it implies a guide number of about 1 and a flash powered by iridescent inscects or something.

"the problem in those pics is not a question of flash per se, it's a question of the type of lighting applied to the kit"

I think the more pressing problem is one of them so dark you can't actually see anything.

from bliss to gloom (and back)

Looking at Alan's picture I first thought somebody had finally managed to put XTC in the tapwater (typical Dutch joke), but the bliss was brief.

Honest, the only way I can look at the Toy pictures is crunching gobs of Prozac - they are the gloomiest thing I ever saw.

So today's prize goes to Gary, simple, clear and cheerful. A sistem that fits in the room without any problems, rather than living in an audio bunker.

I seem to recall it helps to add IMHO

yup, that's one of the problems.
however, as shown in one of the shots that was posted slightly dark and then leveled, the original flash overexposure shows no matter how you put it.
solving the flash issue would lower the contrast, and therefore allow for a greater level of detail throughout...

We have an 82 now, but have not taken any pics yet. And yes, I know, get the system out from between the speakers, etc. The room is very odd, so cant do that at this time. Building was built in 1924 and has a long steam heater to the right of the system, under two big windows. Oh, and it does look a wee bit crooked and must re-adjust in photoshop.

Do the venetians wobble when the speakers are cranked up?

Seeing as I live in an apartment building, I have yet to get this thing really nice and loud. I really, really want too! But, on the rare occasion that we have put it up to about 10.5, I thought I saw just the briefest flutter.

How did you crack the anti gravity/levitation problem with the turntable?

Greeny,
Heck, how do you reach that Linn? A foot above a 6 tier. I would need a step ladder. Maybe the thinner air brings out more detail?

I think it would be quicker if we simply gave out home addresses and invited people round for a gander....

...for a pic of naked SP 100s.

Is it all worth it?

Insert Witty Signature Line Here

One thing thes pics do show is that black 5 series doesn't look right next to olive.

Am I the only one who cannot see any of the pictures. lately all of the pics have just been red cricles with a cross through them. Are my browser settings to blaim?

Neat I've always wondered what Spendor 100s look like I have the 2/3 cousin and I'm sure not nearly as good, but i also have a small place. Wish I could hear your sistem.
I'll try a pic of mine.

I haven't doctored any of these photos although I have the software.



Regards,

Steve.

This one is doctored. It's still dark though.

Steve.

Here you go Steve, Photoshop is the best image correction software you could ever get, but also the most expensive, Kinda like Naim!

Wolf,

Knowing how to use it (as you do) helps too.

I was (mis)using Adobe Photo Deluxe 4.0



Regards,

Steve.

yeah you just can't do the same job with the lighter app. ;-P

Feel the force Luke

But I am still waiting to see a picture of that Thorens.....waiting....*tick*tock*

Can't you do something about the wallpaper then?

"I was (mis)using Adobe Photo Deluxe 4.0"

PhotoDeluxe is designed to be foolproof so I'm not sure what could be going wrong. From what I can remember when you edit a picture there is a big button marked "Please Automatically Make My Picture Look at Least Half Decent". They may have renamed it "Instant Fix" in later versions.

Otherwise look for something called "Levels" or "Histogram" and read the appropriate section of the help and tutorials. It seems rather pointless to continue uploading picutres that are mostly dark shadow.

Matthew

I've just taken mattbr's advice.

Cheers Matt.

Do you think it's a little purple?

Hey, maybe by then he'll even have worked out how to use his camera & software properly!

Rampant Paranoia Persists


“Can't wait to find out who the perenially junior Fred is; though why on earth he should be anyone but himself frankly beats me.”

Oh no, not this old chestnut again.

“However in my recollection Steve's photos are the worst ever posted. Can anyone offer any worse? A professional photo of a Martin Logan wouldn't count.”

I have to admit, a few I’ve posted aren’t that great – but I’m no VV behind the lens.


Stallers,
Is that woodchip on the walls?

Not what I expected from a man of your standing.
