Re: PESO: Wedding Tango

[Paul Stenquist]

My wife and I were married in 1971. Our wedding band did one thing  
and they did it well: Led Zeppelin covers. Our first dance was  
"Stairway to Heaven." The old folks liked it okay until the tempo  
change. Then our friends started lighting joints. Mom was pissed, but  
she got over it.

Yeah, really!

I see their side order of clam strips costs ($12.75) which is than their Blue
Plate special of chicken strips ($11.99!) which also come with fries and slaw!

A Side order of whole clams costs only $14.95, whilst the Blue Plate special
costs $11.99!
A side order of "soft shell crab sanswich" is $13.50, while a Blue Plate is 
$11.99!

This place prices heir "side orders" at more than a Blue Plate Special!

I used to think a Blue Plate was more or more special than a mere "side order."

Not here!

Hmmm. Isn't language funny!?

Re: OT- Gift Minolta SRT101

And that's the best thing about this shot - the photographer's
prerogative. If youth on right wasn't there, it wouldn't be the same
shot. The fact the photog stands by his/her intent is to be admired.
Frank makes pics for himself, and if someone else likes it, so much the
better. I make pics for myself, and if someone else likes them, too bad!!

I've played that tune for three wedding receptions now.  The first
time, the bride and groom said beforehand, "We'd really love to have
our first dance be 'The Masochism Tango', but we fear our parents
would freak out at the words."  (They'd planned to have a CD player
handy anyhow for when the band took breaks.)  I suggested, "Why not 
just have us play it as an instrumental?

Er ... one little flaw in that plan.  Can you guess?

The day of, we were situated in the choir loft with a great view
of the dance floor and the tables.  When it came time for the
couple's first dance, we started up the tune (fiddle, guitar, 
bodhran, and viola da gamba -- only half the band for that gig), 
and the newlyweds began to dance.  Many of the guests stood around 
watching, but we could see the confusion on their faces:  "Wait, I 
know this melody from somewhere, don't I?"

We could also watch the _recognition_ of the tune spread across
the room like a freaking _wave_, in the changes of folks' facial
expressions and body language.  Then, near the end of the first 
verse, 80% of the guests started _singing_.

The bride and groom stumbled, recovered, and finished the dance
laughing.  AFAIK, the parents didn't freak after all, though 
I think they did comment.


The other two times, recognition was not a problem -- it was 
assumed that everyone would know the song (in one case it was
announced ahead of time).  Also, the other two times we had
the whole band (or nearly so) there.

I am of the probably-unsurprising opinion that it is a _lovely_
first-dance for a wedding reception.

K10D Repair Estimate

[Paul Stenquist]

I received a repair estimate from Pentax Colorado for my K10D. I had  
told them that it backfocused severely with two DA* lenses, both of  
which work fine with my K20D. I also mentioned that it seemed stuck  
in multi-image mode, even when I switched it to single image. The  
estimate for repair of this out of warranty camera is $284 --$150 of  
that for parts. The estimate lists the repairs as follows:

Repair or replacement of parts and assemblies as needed. Cleaning and  
calibration of all functions to ensure proper working order.

Replacement and/or adjustment of electronic autofocus circuit  
including focus sendor (sensor or sender?). Calibrate for proper  
operation.

I hope I get a perfect camera back. That's a pretty stiff repair bill.

Happy to help.

By coincidence I came across this picture, which is similar to but
better than mine, a few minutes ago:
http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/33454,arts,landscape-views,5

It is captioned as ragwort, but I'm sure that can't be right. I've
certainly never seen ragwort growing in such quantities - it's quite a
dangerous plant, although very nice to look at.

That luminance setting is a little low unless you're running a laptop  
screen calibration.

Aside from the luminance value being low, possibly the driver version  
or paper profile is off. I don't print to glossy paper so I haven't  
much experience with any quirks of that specific paper.

Re: PESO: Southern Cross

Nice one David. I have fond memories of my first view of Crux and the
pointer stars, A & B  Centauris. I was still in the N hemisphere but
barely, at 8 degrees N latitude.
Years later I saw it from NZ and it takes on a different look from
"down under" !
Your shot also captures the Coal Sack nicely as well.

Re: PESO: Wedding Tango

Isn't it odd how we will readily accept a "technically deficient" shot
of that has emotional appeal?
My son was married a couple months ago and I only shot a dozen pics
myself as they hired a pro (and he was!) However, my sister in law
shot lots of pics on her P&S, most of which were fuzzy. But we still
love them all!
As has been mentioned this is a great shot for all the emotional
reasons, who cares about the technicals when it is your kids!

The colours are OK, just too dark.

I've tried the profiles from the US Epson website. Funny that those U.S.
sites always have more material than their European counterparts. Still,
no real improvement.

Another extensive Google research indicates that this problem has been
experienced by many people. Various sources suggest reducing the ink
density in the Epson driver by approx. 10 percent. 

Seems to work. My prints are OK now. Still, a rather peculiar way of
dealing with things which should be taken care of by using colour
profiles in the first place.

Re: R2400, OSX - prints too dark

Are the prints dark, with a color shift, or the correct colors, just too dark?

If it's the former, double and triple check that color management is
turned off in the print driver before you click print. I've had issues
with Epson print drivers, where changing one or more other settings in
the drivers (specifically the paper type and ink settings) has caused
the color management to get turned back on magically (and annoyingly).

You can tell they're really getting into it!  They've got that "tango
look" on their faces and everything!

Love the wet outside and lots of motion blur in the background, too.

Terrific shot!

Not a perfect image, but...

My daughter had scheduled (last August!) an outdoor wedding for the  
only day in the week on which it rained ALL DAY.  We had a roof for  
the reception, but no walls.

For the "first dance" she and her hubby danced to Tom Lehrer's

Re: Easy Web Site Builder?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

No, all you need is on the .Mac website:

- Copy your photos to the server by opening your .Mac iDisk and  
dragging a folder of JPEGs from your hard drive to the Pictures  
directory.

- Login to your .Mac account via the website (www.mac.com) and use  
the homepage templates to build gallery pages.

You can also build web pages on your local system using iPhoto and  
iWeb, if you so desire, but I find that more work. It does present  
more options however.

Re: Easy Web Site Builder?

[P. J. Alling]

Yes, just get a book, (pamphlet would be better), on basic HTML.  You'll 
do better and product a nicer product than any online templates are 
likely to build  and you'll not have to depend on them in the future.  
HTML is supposed to be simple, and it is.

There is no pattern or hand of man involved. The Pinnacles are natural
limestone formations that have been exposed as wind has blown away the
surrounding sand.



There are a very large number of them over quite an area.

Re: Easy Web Site Builder?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

If you have Photoshop CS, you have a web page generator right there... !
Use "File->Automate->Web Photo Gallery"

You can also use Lightroom's Web module to produce some very nice  
looking and simple photo galleries.

The only "on line" templated web page generator I've used is Apple's  
Homepage stuff, part of the .Mac service. It's pretty simple to  
use ... I created this site in under ten minutes just now as a  
demonstration:

http://homepage.mac.com/godders/pannyl1w25mm/PhotoAlbum52.html

But I prefer to generate simple galleries with Lightroom and just  
drag/drop the web gallery I export to the Sites folder on the iDisk  
most of the time:

Re: PESO: Bridge at Port Sunlight UK

[John Whittingham]

Thanks Frank

I'm not keen on the bin on the left of the shot but couldn't get the view 
through the bridge without including it. I find the top of the building on 
the left to be a little distracting also, I'll confess to never noticing that 
when I composed the shot in the viewfinder.

Thanks, Mark.  I actually had the whole backback in the frame but
cropped it out as it balanced things a bit better.  When I saw them
sit down under that sign, I couldn't believe it!  It was like a dream
come true, but I knew I only had about one shot at it.  I think I got
it okay, especially given the kids blank expression.

I didn't see it on the list, but I did see it on your PESO blog.
Great shot, not just because of the subject matter, but the
composition (including that lovely OOF stuff) and rendering are
incredible!

cheers,
frank

Re: R2400, OSX - prints too dark

[Paul Stenquist]

I use the Spider 2 and set the monitor to native white point and  
gamma 2.2. I think as long as you're consistent and keep the  
calibration up to date, the specific settings aren't critical. The  
correct workflow will get you a matching print regardless of the  
specifics. I use gamma 2.2 because that's what most of my ad agency  
and retoucher clients and collaborators run.

Re: Easy Web Site Builder?

[Toine]

Maybe google apps is what you need http://www.google.com/a click on
sites. All for free. Including 6 Gb for each emailaddress.
You would want to register a domain name to complete the package (app $5/year)

The google apps are very idiot-proof.

Just ordered a load of stuff for GFM

[Mark Roberts]

OK kids, those of you coming to GFM in 3 weeks bring your checkbooks 
because the PDML/CureSearch shop will be open for business. I just 
ordered $500.00 of t-shirts and stickers to bring down (and it's 
surprising how little that much will buy these days!) so you can view 
the "You can never have too many lenses" shirts in person before 
plunking down your hard-earned cash and stepping out in style.

Re: R2400, OSX - prints too dark

[Paul Stenquist]

Godders is the expert, and I'm sure he'll respond. But in the  
meantime I can tell you to check your color setting. It should be  
U.S. Prepress Defaults. The working space in this box should match  
that of your photo. "Gray" should be set to "Dot Gain 20%" as should  
"Spot." In file/print with preview the source should be set to  
document and you should select the profile that corresponds to your  
paper. The Epson ICC profiles and corresponding papers yield the most  
consistent results. I like Epson Ultra Premium Luster and Epson  
Velvet Fine Art.

Are you calibrating your monitor?
What calibration unit are you using?
What settings are you using?

I use an Eye One Display 2 and set up the monitor to 130 Luminance,  
1.8 gamma, 5500K white point. Screen to print fidelity through a  
managed color print work flow is nearly perfect.

What is "PGPP"?

That's a great one, Frank. Composition is perfect and the contrast 
between the punks and the advertisement behind them is wonderful. (If 
anyone complains about cutting off the backpack of the guy on the right,

RE: Southern Cross

[Bob W]

I've spent quite a lot of time in the Southern Hemisphere, but have
never really been able to pick out the Southern Cross, even when
people have tried to point it out to me. It's quite an experience to
look up at the stars in the wrong hemisphere and not recognise
anything. I've often wondered how astrologists deal with this. Given
that I was born in June in the Southern Hemisphere, am I a Gemini? 

What are the stones? Is that some sort of stone circle? If so, who
built it and how long ago?

R2400, OSX - prints too dark

[Ralf R. Radermacher]

Hello all,

at last, I've been able to do a few test prints with my "new" R2400.
Settings are basically the same as with my former 1270, with the obvious
differences of course. Still, my prints are a good stop darker than the
image on the monitor (the latter being calibrated and profiled). I'm
letting Photoshop do the colour management, colour management in the
printer driver is switched off, the correct paper (PGPP) and profile is
selected. Just as before with the old printer and there everything used
to be spot on.

What else could be wrong?

Ralf
