Re: PESO My fav pano spot

I really like that "alternate view," Rob.

The few foreground elements really convey where you are and the type
of vessel it is, while the OoF background is just enough to identify
the location and set the scene effectively.  I think the contrast
between the darkness of the foreground and the brighter background
works quite well.

Re: Blue Geranium

Yes, I know.  I was traveling light, because of the nature of the
gardens, and only brought my DA 35 macro limited.  For this shot, the
FA 100 macro would have worked a lot better.

 Earlier this month, my wife and I attended the 2014 Far Hills Race
 Meeting, and I have posted a few images from that event.  Perhaps more
 will come.

 On the way home from the races, we took the back roads to avoid all
 the drunks leaving the tailgate parties.  We passed the Leonard J.
 Buck Garden, part of a former estate now owned and operated by the
 Somerset County Park Commission.  My wife noted it had been quite a
 while since our last visit, so this past Saturday, we drove up to
 visit the Garden.

 It is not as spectacular as in the spring, especially when the azaleas
 and rhododendrons are in full bloom.  Never-the-less, it is always a
 pleasant site for a peaceful walk in the serenity of nature.

 There were a few colorful plants in bloom, including this unusual blue
 geranium:

Re: PESO My fav pano spot

Hi Guys,

Thanks again for commenting. Igor I'm impressed that you can see so
many potential uses for the pic, what do I do with all the rest? ;)

Attila, I've had jobs on the Tall ship that you mentioned, it's a
lovely vessel, here's an alternate view
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9304908/temp/IMG511715.JPG

Sorry Ann, it's a big image, without using the Gigapan site of
something similar it's difficult to display such images effectively,
if you make them fit into a normal screen you end up discarding all
the details which is what really makes the image IMO. The "sails"
building is the Sydney Opera House, that and the Sydney Harbour Bridge
are basically the Sydney Harbour tourist icons though of course there
is far more to the city.

Bob, it was a pleasure being able to spend time with you, any time you
are out this way again :)

 stitched any others as yet but I'm pretty happy with the way this one
 came out given the fairly lackluster sky.

 Tech: 15 images, 185MP stitched. K3 ISO100 1/10s MUP, Sigma Art

Re: Digest Settings

the actions in hunting this down.

I went to the Wayback Machine http://web.archive.org ...
pulled up http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
as mentioned in a preceding post, to be sure of the right addresses and 
such.


Then did a Google search for Mailman software help ...
the link I looked at that was most useful:

Re: External Hard Drives

2014-10-27 Thread Igor PDML-StR



Eric,

As I wrote in response to the original message/thread from Mark C.,
I see great responses about Synology products.
It looks like some of them have a built-in Wi-fi capabilities
e.g. this one:
https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/DS213air

And others - can use Wi-Fi "dongles" from a large list:
https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/faq/427


I am not sure what you mean by "swappable". It could mean at least two 
different things: hot-swappable, or those where you can remove HDDs 
without disassembling the enclosure.
You can check Synology "Products" page for all their products to see which 
one fits your needs (and your tab).



HTH,

Igor

Do you know of any enclosures or drives-preferably with swappable

Re: PESO B&W Challenge Day 1

Thanks guys.

It's not so much a contest Mark, it's nore like a very cut down
photo-a-day, there's no reward at the end of it all unfortunately, she
was a gorgeous lady :)

I have more shots of the cars Bob, I see quite a few beauties doing
this wedding lark ;)

This is day 3, taken earlier in the year at a noir nude workshop,
somewhat unconventional in composition and OK for work, Natasha:

Re: PESO - Tom at a Party

It is a "portrait" that breaks the rules, but does so successfully (IMHO).
The tip of the nose is EXACTLY at the edge of the profile (a
"portraiture" no-no) and perhaps even more disturbingly, the iris is
partially hidden by the nose (and other one by shadow) but I think in
spite of (or perhaps BECAUSE of its "flaws") it has some serious
emotional punch.

The most dramatic image I've seen from Frank in a while. Well done!

that have been abused to turn out the kind of HDR that I think gave
HDR a bad name. However, I'm willing to give the tool the benefit of
the doubt and place the blame on the users who don't know any better
than to "dial it to eleven".

Subject: PESO: Blue Geranium



Earlier this month, my wife and I attended the 2014 Far Hills Race
Meeting, and I have posted a few images from that event.  Perhaps more
will come.

On the way home from the races, we took the back roads to avoid all
the drunks leaving the tailgate parties.  We passed the Leonard J.
Buck Garden, part of a former estate now owned and operated by the
Somerset County Park Commission.  My wife noted it had been quite a
while since our last visit, so this past Saturday, we drove up to
visit the Garden.

It is not as spectacular as in the spring, especially when the azaleas
and rhododendrons are in full bloom.  Never-the-less, it is always a
pleasant site for a peaceful walk in the serenity of nature.

There were a few colorful plants in bloom, including this unusual blue 
geranium:

Re: PESO - Scrubby Oaks

This does have a different feel to it - this is from the first morning I 
got out withthe 6x7 and so the leaves were in a different state of 
color, it was also slightly raining, more so than any of the other 
days... And then there is the film! Hard to pin it all down.

I wonder how much of this impression is due to the character of the light

Are you sure it is related more to the vagaries of scanning this
particular film?

Another 6x7 film shot from the past couple of weeks. This is one Kodak Ektar
100, something I use with a little trepidation since it can be a challenge
to scan and get the colors right. Out of the scanner needed more adjustment
than other films, but it was not unmanageable.

PESO: Blue Geranium

Earlier this month, my wife and I attended the 2014 Far Hills Race

On the way home from the races, we took the back roads to avoid all
the drunks leaving the tailgate parties.  We passed the Leonard J.
Buck Garden, part of a former estate now owned and operated by the
Somerset County Park Commission.  My wife noted it had been quite a
while since our last visit, so this past Saturday, we drove up to
visit the Garden.

It is not as spectacular as in the spring, especially when the azaleas
and rhododendrons are in full bloom.  Never-the-less, it is always a
pleasant site for a peaceful walk in the serenity of nature.

There were a few colorful plants in bloom, including this unusual blue geranium:

Re: OT Rembrandt never took a selfie


Quoting Bruce Walker :


http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/16/rembrandt-selfie-era-self-portrait



Well, I thought this could be interesting but the alarm bells started  
ringing once I got to the second paragraph:


"The current obsession with selfies ? with makeup or without ?  
reflects a surge in self-confidence that is both admirable and  
dangerous."


Oh, really?

It was all downhill from there.  Talk about overly analytical and  
pretentious claptrap.

Re: PESO - Scrubby Oaks

2014-10-27 Thread Bulent Celasun

Compared to the earlier ones, this one has colors not so "charming"
(for lack of a better word).

I wonder how much of this impression is due to the character of the light
and how much to the character of the film.

Are you sure it is related more to the vagaries of scanning this
particular film?

(Still a very nice image, by the way).

Do you know of any enclosures or drives—preferably with swappable drives—with

That is an intriguing technology which may lead to some iphone photos of 
merit in the right hands. I do like 277 & 278. Looking at the photos I 
wonder what each element is bringing to the equation & if the same 
result could be achieved by less elaborate means. Or does the knowledge 
of the equipment involved affect my reaction to the photos. As I say 
intriguing.

 Attila, since eyelids, lashes (ie mascara) and brows are put on after
 stuff like foundation and concealer, most of what's necessary to make
 her complexion smooth has already been done, thus the
 no-more-makeup-needed look. Knowing Rob's recent work she's a
 burlesque performer, so makeup specifically for that intent would be
 next; colour, blush, and such.

 Also, simply converting to B&W solves a lot of retouching issues.
 Especially so if you employ a red filter in the conversion. One of the
 most important reasons to retouch skin is to remove blotchy skin tones
 and hide reddish blemishes. Doing a red filtered black and white
 conversion removes all those issues for you free. I'm convinced many
 portrait photographers swear by black and white for that reason alone.

Subject: Re: PESO: Autumn Leaf

Thanks, Steve.

That shot has some special meaning to me.  The wood is the stump of a
Cedar tree that was lost in Superstorm Sandy;  the leaf is from the
Kwansan Cherry we planted this year to replace the 40 year old cherry
tree we lost in the last harsh winter.I had admired the wood before,
and tried to get a good image of it, with no great success.  This
weekend, I was trying to get an image of the colorful leaves on the
new tree, which is just in front of the stump.  It was breezy, making
it difficult to capture the leaves still on the tree.  I saw this one
fall, and went over to pick it up.  I liked the color, but was
bothered by the little notch along one edge.  I place it on the stump,
to get it out of the wind, and suddenly the two seemed to go together
well, and the notch seemed to add a bit of additional interest, rather
than being a defect, as I had first concluded.  Since the leaf was not
flat and the sun was at a low angle, there was a long shadow.  I
played around with the placement of the leaf for a few minutes, and
took several images, with different angle of the leaf and the shadow.
Last night, I decided this was my favorite, and decided to post it.

All Hard Drives will ultimately fail. To prevent valuable loss of your
precious photos please go for a "Hot Swappable Enclosure" running a
"Raid Array". What this means simply is:-
a) You buy an enclosure i) with WiFi connectivity which allows you to
save your files/photos over your Home Network w/o any wires; or ii)
with the old fashioned manual USB 3.0 connectivity - not very
convenient as you need wires.
b) You buy one pair of exactly the same hard drive - some enclosures
allow you two pairs of hard drives increasing your storage capacity.
So a pair of 4 TB hard drives will give you 4 TB storage space - NOT 8
TB - as the Raid array duplicates data on to the other drive - a
safety insurance.
c) Now if a Hard Drive crashes, you have your photos safe & sound on
the other drive. You pull out the defective hard drive and replace it
with a similar make and model hard drive - please check this piece of
information as my technology may be old. The raid array copies the
files automatically on to the new drive and you carry on as usual.
d) Hot Swappable means you can pull out both the Hard Drives and
insert another pair with the system powered up. Great convenience and
management of your photos.
Thanks for reading.
