Ok, so I am just home from a massive week at the Australian Professional 
Photography
Awards, and trying to come back to Earth!

 Over the weekend at Melbourne, my 4 entered prints were awarded with the 
following
scores: GOLD (93), Silver Distinction (86, and 85) and Silver (83). Giving me a 
total
score of 347 for my four prints, which were entered into both the Family 
Category and Open
Portraiture Category. Can you imagine my surprise when, at the Gala Dinner, my 
name was
announced to be the Canon AIPP Australian Professional Creative Photographer Of 
The Year
Runner Up for 2012!! I am not sure how that happened but am so excited and 
humbled to
accept the title as it is only the second time I have entered the awards! 
Amazeballs!!

Can you believe that little ole me and my little K5 could achieve this?! I'm 
still
pinching myself!!

Additionally, The scores that I received also gave me 5 credit points which 
means that in
only 18 months of being an AIPP member I have now qualified as an Associate, 
with 3 points
to go towards becoming a "Master". I can't actually use the title until I have 
been a
member for 2 years, but is exciting all the same!

The Pentax Australia guys even came to find me and fill my bag with all kinds 
of Pentax
bits and pieces, although no 645D yet! Don't worry though, I'm working on them! 
;-)

...and now back to Earth with a thud! I have a mountain of washing and editing 
to do! ;-)

I was dismayed to hear about that on the radio this morning.  Just when you 
think it's all settling down you get hit again, and I know well how frustrating 
that is.   Hopefully things will sort themselves out soon.  Do they have 
structural engineers evaluating buildings before allowing people back in?

It's been very quiet down here for a few months but we did have a 5.2 last 
Friday.  I didn't notice it as I was out running at the time.

Love it.  I've seen a few scary films of those guys.  It looks like something 
you'd want to print BIG.

An English guy recently managed to land one of those suits without a parachute, 
but he cheated a bit by having a huge pile of cardboard boxes to land on.  
Still takes bigger balls than I have.

Actually... It reminds me of something I've heard not too log ago
about last days of Kodak...
They were working on new breakthrough in film area, which employed
quantum entanglement - you load such film and put special compound
piece in that holder on the back - and as soon as shutter is
triggered, you will instantly see a preview.
This is done by request of several high-ranked photographers, who
can't live without chimping anymore.
So, as usual, the project run over the budget and schedule and was the
last drop, which caused them to file for bankruptcy.
BTW, that nuclear reactor they had in the basement was used to test
new film camera coating required for this film, because it was highly
radioactive...

Truthfully yours,
D.

Re: PESO - Form over Function

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

Earphones? I don't think they're good idea on a bike.

Helmet? I think it should be a personal decision but personally I choose to 
wear one.  

Bike lanes? I have mixed feelings about them. If I'm the only bike around, 
they're great. When they're crowded with bikes they can be quite dangerous. 
Overall I support them, I support making more of them but I'll often avoid them 
during rush hour. I'd prefer dealing with cars than slow bikes...

Thanks for the comment. And thanks to everyone else who commented.

Btw, I got it wrong in the initial post. I meant to refer to Louis H. Sullivan, 
the modernist architect, father of the modern skyscraper who famously said, 
"Form ever follows function." 

I think I mixed his middle initial with John L. Sullivan the last bareknuckle 
boxing champ.

Cheers,
frank

Try taping a piece of welder's glass over the front of the lens. 
However, 500mm may not be enough to see much.


I've got a home made solar filter that I made decades ago out of a 
mylar emergency blanket folded several times over. It goes on the 
front of my Celestron 5 telescope. The C5 has a 1250mm focal length 
so I get a nice, big image of the Sun.

Camp Blues, a four day workshop on blues dancing, was at my house last weekend. 
 Including meeting some of the people at South Bay Fusion, the night before it 
officially started it was a long weekend.  With the month or so of home repairs 
and cleanup, leading up to the event, it was a very long weekend.  On the 
bright side, the once and future shed is nearly done.  We've got a little touch 
up to do on the paint for now, and at some point, I have a couple more projects.

I selected some of my better photos from the weekend, and posted them on flickr:

Re: Rock Climber

That was sweet.  I checked out the video capabilities in Lightroom 4 todAy on 
the adobe web site.  Pretty darn cool.  I'll upgrade after the bug fixes take 
place.  I'll have to add memory to my iMac to just to be on the safe side.  I 
hope to be doing some playful video soon--family stuff and all.  Cheers

Thanks, Bob. I was very happy with how well I was able to target her
hair with the toning sliders. And I didn't have to work over it with
the adjustments brush, but the new capabilities there are very
powerful.

Nice use of the pano format.
It complements the fence horizontally, and

Tell Galia that is a nice record of the sight and the archaeological dig.
I'm sorry she didn't have some people around to brighten things up.

Update: ground keeps shaking and shaking over here. Today around 9 
a.m. we
experienced another major quake (shake and thunder, Richter 5.8), 
around the
same power of the main one we suffered 9 days ago (Richter 5.9 then), 
plus

several lesser shakes in the 3-to-4 range.
More historical buildings and churches are down now, and more people 
at work

were killed under industrial sheds which collapsed.

Dario, I'm very sad to read that - just watched the news at home, and 
had to check the mail.


Really hope the situation improves, the shakes stop and do not return. 
Wishing, willing, praying.

Give her my compliments.  I used to teach rock climbing (30 years and 60 pounds 
ago).  That technique is called chimneying. 
When she gets taller, she'll be able to put her feet on one side of a hallway, 
her hands on the other, and basically do the same thing to climb to the top of 
the hallway.

When will you start taking her to a climbing gym?

Eerm, it's a bit exciting!

[Tanya Love]

Ok, so I am just home from a massive week at the Australian Professional 
Photography Awards, and trying to come back to Earth!

 Over the weekend at Melbourne, my 4 entered prints were awarded with the 
following scores: GOLD (93), Silver Distinction (86, and 85) and Silver (83). 
Giving me a total score of 347 for my four prints, which were entered into both 
the Family Category and Open Portraiture Category. Can you imagine my surprise 
when, at the Gala Dinner, my name was announced to be the Canon AIPP Australian 
Professional Creative Photographer Of The Year Runner Up for 2012!! I am not 
sure how that happened but am so excited and humbled to accept the title as it 
is only the second time I have entered the awards! Amazeballs!!

Can you believe that little ole me and my little K5 could achieve this?! I'm 
still pinching myself!!

Additionally, The scores that I received also gave me 5 credit points which 
means that in only 18 months of being an AIPP member I have now qualified as an 
Associate, with 3 points to go towards becoming a "Master". I can't actually 
use the title until I have been a member for 2 years, but is exciting all the 
same!

The Pentax Australia guys even came to find me and fill my bag with all kinds 
of Pentax bits and pieces, although no 645D yet! Don't worry though, I'm 
working on them! ;-)

...and now back to Earth with a thud! I have a mountain of washing and editing 
to do! ;-)

Very similar to my setup.  2.4 GHz core 2 duo iMac, of about the same vintage,  
6GB ram, external drive, catalog on the internal drive.

I've definitely noticed the machine is getting slower, but not unusably so.  I 
do split my work into a smaller working catalog, and the big everything 
catalog. 

I'd very much like to fork my working catalog, and make a newer, smaller 
version.  Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do that without losing all 
the Publish Services that I've set up.

 One annoyance is that the JF facebook plug-in doesn't work.  The FB plugin 
that comes with LR4 works pretty well though, except for the bit where it'll 
take a minute or so to actually do something once I click on "create a 
collection".

I've got all my camping and photography gear packed up and ready to go

Perhaps some reports will make it to the List during the weekend.
We'll do our best.

Re: OT Flash question

[Bruce Walker]

Aha! The spring-metal contacts may have kind of sagged over time (much
like people :-) ) and flexing them out a bit may give better contact.
You might be able to hook the open end of them down in the bottom of
the battery compartment with a bent paperclip or similar. Tug upwards
gently to make them sit up higher.

Thanks for the responses.

After some fiddling, and a web search, i stumbled across a fellow with
my problem and he said it was his battery compartment door not seating
correctly. Well after cleaning the contacts and verifying batteries, i
decided to give the door a shot. I tried to turn it on after cleaning
and reinserting batteries with no response, then i just moved the door
1-2mm to the open position and bamo, (spell check for bamo is amoeba
btw) heard the motor engage. I then moved it back 1mm or so, and on it
came.

So now it appears to fire up but i need to play with the door. Same
thing now with my D1H, need to set a battery in, then pull it back out
a hair and the camera fires up,

Re: Micro 4/3s the Dark-side

The E-PL1 is sturdy as well.  The wrist strap broke today and it (the

all.  I used it the rest of the day and the shots were fine.  I guess

Don't blame the camera - it just reports the code it gets from the lens.

Some manufacturers (most notably Sigma) didn't request a code from Pentax
(presumably because there was a cost involved), so  just used the same code
for multiple lenses (usually one that corresponded to a Pentax lens that
was similar to the first lens). I'm a little surprised to see that Tokina
did this - they used to be a Pentax partner, so I'd expect them to get it
right).

As for the original query: it should be pretty easy to confirm that the
reported focal length is correct - that information is also in the EXIF.

Re: How to photograph the transit of Venus?

[Brian Walters]

Quoting John Celio :




P.S.: Hey Aussie PDMLers, I loved your country! Just got home last
Friday. I hope I get to go back to Australia soon, especially to see
the outback and more of Tasmania.




Glad you enjoyed your visit.

Hopefully, next time I'll be in town when you're in town

Re: PESO: Grandchild No. 1

[Darren Addy]

Thanks Bob. Yes, I'm very fortunate. Three daughters, all married & we
all still live in the same (smallish) town - pop. 35,000. Hazel
belongs to my youngest daughter and they only live about a mile away.
I seem to find them at my house at least a couple times a week when I
get home from work. The photo was taken at Hazel's place where the
whole fam was enjoying a little cook-out last night.

I processed this fully in colour starting in Lr 4, then out to Ps CS5
for retouching, back to Lr, then converted a virtual copy to B&W in Lr
4 using just the Lr 4 Develop tools. I think it did a pretty good job

make more sense than previous versions if you're thinking zones in

Luckily Lr 4 was being kind to me this morning and let me do this

Re: Today's Peace Rally

[Bob Sullivan]

Bill,
Probably Off Topic, but the Chief stood behind the lines in his white
uniform shirt at rock throwing distance from the protesters, standing
out from the other cops in blue shirts.  He got serious 'street cred'
with his officers for doing so and actually helped manage the
situation.  The crumpled license plate from his destroyed NYC Police
Cruiser... I have met only one other person who was on site that day,
so I'm impressed.

How about having the up arrow on the photo take you to the thumbnail gallery,

If I can find a little "home" icon, that might be the best thing to do, with 
the up arrow going back to a gallery.

This is a detail from the interior courtyard of The Burlington

Originally built in 1879 as the Headquarters for the
Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, this building has been
remodeled several times, and is now general office space.

A skylight provides most of the light to the atrium. It’s supplemented
by several electric globes. This extremely high contrast lighting was
more difficult to photograph than to print. The HDR treatment
compressed the high contrast range into a relatively flat, easier to
print image.

Re: OT: Local 35mm Negative Scanning Prices

[John Sessoms]

I was going to recommend checking with someone like Target, but I just 
found out they're pulling the film processors from all their photo-labs 
& won't do anything with film, not even scanning existing negatives to CD.


You might ask Ritz/Wolf Camera if you have one nearby. I'm pretty sure 
they still process 35mm C-41 & the scanner is attached to the printer. 
Also some Walgreens stores can still do film.

Re: PESOs: Memorial flags in Boston

[Bob Sullivan]

Dave,
The 1st is a neat abstract.
The 2nd helps establish the flags in a place.
The 3rd (as revised) gives a much broader place for the flags.
I like 1 & 2 best.

My plan is to wait for Thierry Legault's photos and just look at those.

Re: How to photograph the transit of Venus?

[Darren Addy]

VERY good video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiDheBRZrg0

If you are looking for a quick source of some Baader Astro Solar film,
I suggest finding your local Astronomy club and seeing if you can
beseech a kind soul to share/sell a small chunk with you. Many small
clubs have mailing lists or at least a contact person who knows how to
reach members quickly.

I think I'm going to have to try this.

Note the cautions. If there is ANY danger of wind blowing your box
filter off the end of your lens, I would secure that thing as much as
possible with copious amounts of duct tape or make something that
holds on in an even more secure way

You have a couple of difficulties...

Venus is small compared to the sun, so to be able to see it you will
need some healthy focal length (either lens or attached telescope).
At that magnification, the sun won't stay in your field of view long,
so you need to be somehow tracking it. If using a long telephoto on
your camera it would be possible to piggyback it on a telescope that
is tracking the sun.

I'm guessing that the astronomical supply places are getting a lot of
orders for solar filters right now from customers who want rush
shipping.
: )

I don't really have the means to do this,
I don't think.
I do have some Baader solar filter material (mylar) mentioned by Bob.
However I just sold my two longest lenses in preparation for getting a
Bigma, but won't have that in time.
However, I still have a Tamron SP 60-300mm and matching 2x converter
that could probably be pressed into service. Hm...

RE: How to photograph the transit of Venus?

[Bob W]

For the 1999 eclipse I bought some sheets of mylar (I think) which can be
used to photograph eclipses as a very high density ND filter. In the event
the clouds got in the way, and in the short space when the sun was visible I
photographed the images which my brother was projecting onto a piece of card
through a telescope.

If I remember correctly I photographed a partial eclipse through the same or
similar filters, but used the camera and lens to project the image onto a
card, so I wasn't looking directly at the sun but could see what was
happening and open the shutter.

The pictures weren't very good.

This is a specialist activity and you need to take advice from specialists
about it, otherwise you risk melting your own eyeballs, to say nothing of
damaging your cameras.

Re: How to photograph the transit of Venus?

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I have a 6 inch telescope that has a special attachment for solar
observations.  Basically, instead of looking through the eyepiece, I
focus the light from the eyepiece onto a square of white painted metal
held beneath the eyepiece by a special bracket.  I can place a piece
of paper or a card on the metal (it also functions like an easel) so
that I can draw on the paper to record the sun and location and size
of sunspots.  Of course, I can also just take an image of the sun's
reflection on the metal or the paper with my camera.

Re: How to photograph the transit of Venus?

[P. J. Alling]

Do not I repeat do not point your camera directly at the sun, it will do 
the same thing to it's sensor that it will do to your eye.  No filter 
you can afford will work.  There are methods of using something like a 
pinhole camera taking the photo of the back reflecting surface, (and by 
reflecting I mean a white surface, not a mirror, that only makes 
achieving blindness more complicated.

Thanks for looking Bulent. The camera boots quickly, and is quick between

screen get's dark when manually setting aperture to f11 or more.


one nice thing about the GH2 is that the EVF, though somewhat crude, has a

I got an adapter to use some LTM lenses with a m4/3 Panasonic. What interests 
me the most is the Sony NEX and all of the adapters it has. I think Sigma's 
biggest mistake has been producing a dSLR that uses only Sigma lenses. If they 
had a dSLR that would (via adapter) use everyone else's lenses, that would be a 
keeper.
