PESO Oatley Park

2010-08-21 Thread Rob Studdert
Hi Team,

Just a quick pano to share made last week, not for everybody though,
it's big (over 13MB) and it's in QTVR format so needs to be viewed
using Quicktime.

The image consists of 16 in camera jpgs shot hand held with my S90 @
auto-focus, manual exp, auto-WB, the pano was
assembled using Autopano and converted to QTVR using Pano2QTVR.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9304908/IMGS00704%20-%20IMGS00719.mov

Lots of detail, hope you enjoy.

Semi-OT - A little education

2010-08-21 Thread Paul Sorenson

 Christine, Bob S, anyone else willing to come to Chicago...

David Ziser has scheduled an evening seminar on Sept 14 at the Westin in 
Itasca - that's near the intersection of 290 and the Elgin O'Hare 
Expressway (Thorndale Ave).  I've been to a couple of these and he 
usually has some good info.  Advertised price is $79 but I'm working on 
getting a promo code that will knock $20 off.

Let me know either off list or on if you're interested and maybe we can 
work out a meet.

During the first half of the 19th century they used wrought iron and 
cast iron the way we use plastic today.


The tiles might be wrought iron stampings rather than cast iron. They 
might even be early steel stampings.

Yea, second time I shot that, it was better on film with the Pentax 17mm 
f4.0, but if you don't expect perfection, (and who would), the old 12mm 
makes some pretty cool images.  Unfortunatly some of the black flocking 
paint has detached and is floating around between some   A bit of dust 
is nothing, this is huge.  It's actually visible in photographs.  I've 
been trying to figure out how to disassemble the lens to the extent that 
it could be cleaned out but the damned thing seems to be welded shut.  
It really isn't worth having it done by a professional.

Don't forget that you may be seeing a particularly poor example on the

They didn't need to rename the brand Cardinal or something?

Politically incorrect would have been to do it with split toning in red.




Is that "back (again)" as in "for the third time"?  I know they came 
back for a while in he early 2000s, but I thought they had gone out of 
business again when the retro fad petered out.

Don't forget the good old MX, too (5fps with the motor drive, and all
that from a horizontally-run rubberised silk shutter, while having to
start and stop advancing the film into the bargain!).

LR should show you the colour temperature of the pictures you like. You can
type that same colour temperature into the ones you want to change - you
don't have to use the dropper or the sliders.

Re: Lightroom 2.7 question: how to edit 2 pictures "side by side"

2010-08-21 Thread Paul Sorenson

 Sam -

If the pix with the correct white balance were taken under the same 
lighting as the incorrect ones, try setting the the color temperature 
and tint on one of the bad ones to the same as the good ones.  That 
should get you started in the ballpark.  If that looks good the sync it 
up with the others.

PESO: A Gaggle of Geese

Thanks, Ann.

I took this with my *istD and the smc fa 28-80 zoom.  It was at the
Classic Car Night in our town.  It was about 6:00 PM, but there was
still enough light in the open shade, so I did not use a flash.  I
like the softer, diffuse light without the flash for shots like this.
I thought it was a charming retro scene, a perfect symbol of Classic
Car Night.

 Christine, Bob S, anyone else willing to come to Chicago...

David Ziser has scheduled an evening seminar on Sept 14 at the Westin in 
Itasca - that's near the intersection of 290 and the Elgin O'Hare 
Expressway (Thorndale Ave).  I've been to a couple of these and he usually 
has some good info.  Advertised price is $79 but I'm working on getting a 
promo code that will knock $20 off.

Let me know either off list or on if you're interested and maybe we can 
work out a meet.

Indeed, nicely executed too, the sound track integration was excellent.

GESO: Duathlon

2010-08-21 Thread David Mann
Hi all,

Here's another sporting event gallery.  I haven't done one in a while as the 
events calendar tends to be very quiet over winter.  But this one was being 
held close to where I live so I decided that I really should check it out.  
Nevermind the fact that I'm trying to have a rest day today.



This race was a duathlon which involves a run, then a bike, then a shorter run. 
 This one was part of the Contact Duathlon Series which consists of two races 
(seems to be a very short series if you ask me). This race also doubled as the 
Oceania Duathlon Championships.

I was thoroughly unprepared but the event was very well run.  The only thing 
that caught me out was that I became slightly lost trying to find the start 
line for one of the races.  Each age group was started separately, which is why 
the ordering looks all mixed up.

I had trouble with AF on the bike section because I was shooting into the 
sun... which meant the parts I was wanting to focus on were in shadow and the 
camera wasn't able to keep up.  Yes I'm blaming the camera, it's never my fault.

The metering was also giving me grief as it was exposing for the background.  I 
had no choice as the bike course was long enough that it really wasn't 
practical for me to find a better spot and with so many events on at once I had 
to stay close to the start / transition / finish area.  I managed to find a 
setting in the camera which apparently links the meter to the focus point but I 
need to read the manual as it still seemed a bit hit and miss.

Cheers,
Dave
