What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Jauntyone]

Red eye is caused by the light from the flash gun reflecting back from the back of the eye. The red color comes from the blood vessels in the eyeball. To eliminate it you need to stop using the built in flash unit because it is located too close to the lens. Pros don't use on-camera flash. Or, if they do, the flash unit can be aimed so that the ythey can bounce the flash from a wall or ceiling. The idea is to get the light reflecting back from the camera to miss the lens. As an alternative you can shoot outdoors or, better, get a flash gun that isn't attached physically (only electrically) to the camera.

It is possible to remove the red eye with post photo digital processing. But that won't get rid of the deer-in-the-headlights look you get from on-camera flash. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info and advice! I'll try to take photos in natural light. The problem is that often I snap a picture quickly in the morning before I go to work or at night when I get home; the sun hasn't come up yet or has gone down.

Waiting for snow here, so pulled out a Buffalo bred hat - Peller & Mure Fifteen.
Private label - probably 50s, most likely built in Canada by Biltmore.
It knows how to wrassle with snow.

I met Gary White 30 years ago when he ran the hat department at Peller & Mure.
He taught me how to tie a bow tie, among other things.

Gorgeous looking lid, Alan.

Jimmy, Zetwal - I love the music of those Strato-various. Someday I'll find one in my key.

Thanks for posting all those great hats today, everybody!

Thanks, R! Hey, I'm still wondering what the new brim width is on the 1912 (I'm guessing 2 1/2" to 2 5/8")...

I was kind of going for a western look today while hiking.

You are on the money once again!
It is right around 2 1\2, maybe just a hair less than that.

All the hats on this page are magnificent, Zetwel, JTL, Alan. Thanks for posting guys. :eusa_clap

Alan, is that a cavanaugh edge?

 

[scooter]

Alan, that is a mighty fine looking chapeau, but nothing out of the ordinary for you.

Zetwal and JTL, I been thinking of having Major Mike make me a custom hat and those Stratoliners are winning me over. I actually ride a Stratoliner motorcycle, so I guess it would be fitting. I took her on a 3700 mile trip, too bad I didn't have the hat to accompany me. I think I've decided to contact him for a quote using your hats as a model, but I think I'd like a brown one with a contrasting ribbon and edge trim, perhaps even a charcoal. What do you think?

 

[hatophile]

Lovely Strat, Zetwal.

gtDean, is your Roadmaster a modern version? How do you like it?

Alan, another beauty for you.
