Re: PESO: Abandoned - Final Take

2007-10-31 Thread Brian Walters
Thanks to all for the help with this image.

I think this final rendering (see link below) is about as good as I'm going to 
get.  Basically I've nudged the mid tones a bit and then desaturated both RGB 
and red slightly.  This also has the effect of lessening the intense orange 
colour.

I've also had another go at the B&W conversion with a less contrasty rendering.

Anyway, here's the link to all five variations.

Awesome.  45d, too.  I take it you weren't with a tour group when you shot

Re: For those who miss CaNikon's Wifi capabilities

2007-10-31 Thread Paul Stenquist
I've seen wireless in use at fashion shoots. Generally, the  
photographer doesn't let the model see the result. However, when a  
discussion of the results seems to be productive, the monitor is  
turned. I've done the same thing with the Pentax assistant. But as  
you point out, constant feedback can be a distraction. I've also seen  
wireless used at studio car shoots. The cars don't seem to care about  
the results:-). But the agency art directors like to see what's going  
on. We've had the same kind of feedback on television shoots for many  
years, via a video tap on the camera. But actors never get to see it.  
Unless, as I said, there is a situation where it might prove fruitful.

When I got my first Pentax SLR as a teenager in 1966, oh how I dreamed 
of that lens. Just the idea of it captured my fancy.

I'm dreaming now of an A* 1200 F8. I don't care it it produces CA with 
stars. In the meantime I have the F* 600 F4 and the A 2XL.

Still, if I saw that 1000 come up for sale, I'd be tempted. Just to live 
out a youthful fantasy.

Oh, and I fantasized about girls and cars too.

Sheesh. I don't know what more can be said, WR. Sorry I said it.

"Discussion" doesn't seem to get there with this group, everyone just  
natters on with their opinion and a closed mind. I described the  
working methodology that was shown, explained how he used the  
wireless capture and how it affected his work and sometimes the  
subject interaction. No one has asked any questions about the  
demonstration or technique, just opined that they didn't think it  
would work. I give up.

If this wireless SD card works and sends JPEGs incrementally live, as  
I work, I'll buy one and make you a demonstration video, ok?

I was interested in discussing it further, as I to do find it to be an 
intriguing idea, but I bow to your obviously more vast knowledge on the 
subject, though I am saddened that on a photographic discussion forum, this 
sort of subject is not a worthy subject.

So it goes.

Yeah, they switched the time switch on us and no one told my GPS. (My

I was pretty peeved when I learned that we *didn't* have an extra hour. 
But then again, if we *had* set the clocks back I would have had to

I didn't make a recording of the session, WR. Several folks stepped  
up to have their portraits done. The wireless interaction was very  
useful, and it also allowed immediate display of the capture on a  
large projection screen so the rest of the session participants could

There's no point to discussing it further. You had to be there, I

Thats pretty bad. I don't need lenses as good as what you do, so if you 
like, I could give that one a good home...

Chromatic aberration, smc PENTAX 1:8 1000mm @ f/8.

Star in the Orion (point source). You are seeing individual pixels (highly
cropped).

This is why we shoot with filters, red, green & blue and focus for each one.

I have some misgivings about a monitor showing people how many crappy

Re: AF540FGZ - hallelujah!

2007-10-31 Thread John Francis

I really liked my AF500FTZ, especially on the PZ-1p.
Unfortunately it isn't a lot of use on the K10D (although it
works as well as anything else on the *ist D), so I got a 540.
I haven't used it much, partly because I was without it for a
couple of months; on one of the rare occasions I did use it I
got a couple of exposures, followed by a loud crackle-pop.  At
least it was still under warranty, so Pentax fixed it for me.
But on the occasions where I did use it, it just plain worked.

I actually have some misgivings about that. I can imagine how distracting a

AF540FGZ - hallelujah!

Just scored a used AF540FGZ from Craigslist (only $200?!?!) and I've  
just finished putting it through the 'test paces' here at the house.

In a word - excellent.  Everything that I've wished I could do with  
the Sigma EF500DG Super just plain worked.  Bounce? Proper exposure.   
Straight ahead?  Proper exposure.  Manual lens set to a weird F-stop?   
Proper exposure.  Sto-Fen crammed on the end?  Proper exposure.

I'm so relieved to have a flash that just plain works.  I'm  
practically giddy!

This is why we shoot with filters, red, green & blue and focus for each one.

That's a cool photo. I've had so many shots spoiled by having my own 
shadow in them I can really appreciate the humor here (even without the 
rabbit ears).

Also, it looks like something from "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit". :)

That's something I don't understand.  How hard is it really to set up a 
simple HTML template and do a little find and replace with a good text 
editor?  Somehow the simplest web gallery requires a complex tool, that 
creates complex unnecessary code.

Re: HELP: I Lost Adobe Gamma

2007-10-31 Thread Walter Hamler
OK, more stuff done.I installed the PrintFix software that was on the
second disk. It allows you to set profiles based on the printer/paper
combo's and them make and adjust prints until you get the output to
match the screen,  supposedly.
I played with that for about an hour until I got what I feel will be
usable. At least now I can adjust a file to look "right" and it prints
very close to that. However, it still isn' what I used to get before
the old monitor took the jolt!
I am turning off all printer stuff, other than setting the paper
profiles, then telling the printer to let photoshop/lightroom run the
show.
One biggie that I really like in lightroom. Once I get a good print, I
don't have to save, etc.Just leave it be, and the next time I open it,
it will be setup just like before.
Thanks for all the help folks!

Yup. Some or all of the capabilities on this list would be of great use to 
astrophotographers, night scene photographers, nature/wildlife 
photographers, hazardous conditions photographers, crime surveillance 
photographers, certain industrial photographers and perhaps many others. I 
think it could put the K10D (or some future, maybe, someday, after my 
funeral, K1D) into a variety of markets now dominated by other brands by 
being more versatile or even safer to use in those markets.

Ok, well, if that is the case (we'll assume) then I
can see how that WOULD save time as long as the card
itself was sufficiently fast. My impression was that
it wasn't on the fly, that you'd have to stop to
upload...and I didn't see an advantage there.

I stand corrected!

I find the simple HTML gallery produces good enough for casual stuff.  
BTW, for HTML gallery output you can remove the 'medium' and 'small'  
JPEG image renderings entirely before uploading them to a server,  
they're only used by the flash gallery formats.

I find the HTML output a little more complex than I'd prefer as well,  
but it's fairly easy to understand and work with once you study it a  
little bit. The js and css files are pretty clear and not too  
complicated.

I post-process all JPEG exports from Lightroom intended for the web  
with a quick Photoshop script that does a set, small USM adjustment.  
Lightroom does not provide any output sharpening other than the  
relatively simplistic sharpening function in the Print module. This  
is something I expect in the future, many have told me they've  
requested it as a feature add.

Not at all. In fact I found Adam's last post very
informative. The post where you mentioned seeing in
action just didn't "open my eyes" to the technology as
you may have hoped. Sorry.

Without it, in ultra-dim circumstances where AF doesn't work anyway,  
I set the camera power to time out as fast as possible and focus  
without touching the shutter release.

I've never used the remote assistant but all of these sound like a  
good addition to its capabilities.

Not sure why this is needed for anything, but it would be good anyway.

Re: For those who miss CaNikon's Wifi capabilities

2007-10-31 Thread Bob Blakely
Actually, it seemed as though you were knocking the technology because YOU 
don't perceive any use for it considering how you use YOUR camera. After all 
your first dig at the device was, and I quote, "I just don't get it. What's 
so tough about hooking a
camera to the computer via a cable?" There's nothing in there about "saves 
time."

Frankly, it doesn't have to save time if it provides convenience.

You're like my dog. He can't find any use for my hammer either.

Nothing.

On the other hand, the distance between the camera and the computer is 
limited by the length of the cable, and the length of the cable is limited 
by the USB specifications. Further, people trip over cables, possibly 
knocking your camera and/or computer to the (hard?) ground.

I'm not 100% sure with this SD card, As far as I know, if it can find a 
configured WiFi network, it will upload on the fly. The CaNikon WiFi adaptors 
do on the fly (And some will also now do USB Mass Storage, allowing you to 
shoot to a USB HDD, like most MF backs allow).

Oh, I forgot to mention: Despite looking very peaceful and serene, all

I was intrigued with the use of wireless image transfer in the  
portrait photography endeavor. Watching what the photographer in that  
session did and how it brought the portrait session to life in a  
different way inspired me to consider possibilities for the use of  
wireless as a fast feedback tool.
