Quoting "Daniel J. Matyola" :


We don't really have a Kosciusko Day in Nee Jersey.


Sounds like you should...



I was making a Joke.

Kosciusko was a Polish patriot who came to America to fight for the
rebels in the Revolutionary War, and became one of Washington's
generals.

There is a famous Kosciusko Bridge in New York, near Albany, also
known as the Double Bridge or the Dolly Parton Bridge for its shape.
There is also a spicy brown mustard sold in the US named after
Kosciusko.



Hmm - I'll have to see if I can find that mustard on line - it would  
be an interesting talking point here.




I thought more people would get these references, but I guess not.
So, my jokes fell flat.

Re: OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?


Quoting Alex Lee :


Hi Brian,

I love using hiking poles even though I’m a young guy with no major  
health issues. I can hike fine without poles but they definitely  
makes it easier on really long, strenuous hikes with big elevation  
changes, or if I’m carrying a lot of gear; I usually don’t bother on  
short hikes. I once did a big hike with a friend who was out of  
shape and having a difficult time on the way back, so I lent him one  
of my poles and it helped. They do help with balance, but also takes  
some impact off the feet and knees, but the arms are now in on the  
action. It’s not about using less energy but redistributing it which  
I think can make things easier. There is some technique to get used  
to, but it’s not hard to get into a rhythm with them. I think hiking  
poles are worth a try.


I’ve improvised a monopod on one of my hiking poles and it’s proved  
useful. I’ve never heard of the Manfrotto ones and I may check them  
out myself.





Thanks, Alex - good information.

And thanks to all who responded, both seriously and frivolously  :-)>

You are making a big mistake Ann.  King is much more than a horror
story author.  He is a powerful writer, and a great story teller.

In particular, I recommend "11/22/63," a thoughtful and inventive time
travel tale about trying to stop the assassination of JFK.

I also really enjoyed "Mr Mercedes, which is more of a police
procedural thriller than a horror story.  "Misery,"  "The Shining,"
The Green Mile,"  and "The Shawshank Redemption" are all great stories
and well worth reading, in my judgment.  Then there is "On Writing," a
marvelous non-fiction book about the art of writing and the life of
the writer.

Re: PESO - Sac Spider


Thanks, Ken.

The actually photographing of the insect took only about an hour (I did 
5 sets of stacks, about 500 images.) Prepping the subject and 
configuring / fiddling with flashes took another hour or so. After that 
there are long stretches of computer churning - I open all of the DNGs 
into Photoshop as one batch, apply the same camera raw adjustments to 
the whole set, and then export them as 16 bit tiffs which Zerene Stacker 
then stitches together. It can take a couple of hours to go from 
unadjusted DNG's to draft stacked images - but all but a few minutes of 
that is computer churn time and I usually wander away and come back to 
it when it is done. All tolled, I spent about and hour initiating the 
stacking etc and also editing / cleaning up the final image. So I'd say 
3 hours total time, and that includes getting the 4 other stacks that I 
have not processed yet.

Quoting Stanley Halpin :

Brian, looking ahead, next after March comes April. April is  
Panorama month. Will you be providing expanded Dimension & File Size  
limitations? Or will we need to live with the usual 300k/800x800  
pixels?





Hi Stan

I'm still working out the details but the last time we did a Panorama  
theme (2010) we had a temporary increase in file size to accommodate  
the pano format.  We should be able to do something similar this time.


Further advice to follow...

Re: Peso-Silver Butte #2

2015-03-03 Thread Jack Davis

Hi, Darren!
I woke up to the fact that I failed to respond to all of your appreciated 
critique comments.
To tell you the truth, I was surprised to see only a smattering of red blinkies 
on this final
image. Actually there was the slimmest line on the right histogram boarder and 
in checking the image, I found 
a small number of red smatterings, all of which were  in the clouds. A bit far 
right, a slightly larger few drops
in the center area and some small speckles on the left. I found more than 
enough detail in the clouds to please me.
I'll confirm again here that the #2 image is a thin shadow darker.
You've nudged me back from trusting an old person's instinctive sense to one of 
actually utilizing the available technology. 
Your kind remarks were much appreciated.

Jack

I can't detect any difference between the two (open in side-by-side
browser tabs). The only thing that changes (besides the URL) is the
title. One has a space between the words and the other doesn't.

That is a VERY striking image, Jack. My only comment would be to look
at the histogram of the original file and see if the peaks run off the
right side (blown-out highlights). If there is detail there, I would
preserve it. It would make a very good image into a great one, IMHO. I
like to have the histogram turned on in my Preview image so I can see
it right when I chimp the shot. Pentax is thoughtful to also have the
ability to turn on the "blinkies" on your LCD to show over-exposed
pixels, which can be handy if you don't want to mess with the
histogram.

Ever since I had that stroke a couple of years ago I'm finding I get

I'm wondering whether one or two hiking poles might help - these are the
ones I'm considering:

One of the side benefits is that one of the poles has a camera mount, so 
can

be used as a monopod.

I should add that I'm not talking about extreme bushwalking - I doubt I'd 
be

covering more than perhaps 4 or 6 km over uneven ground in any one walk.

Re: OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?


Brian, I've used several, on and off, over the years to improve stability.
The ones I've used are 'Tracks' and 'Leki'.
I slightly prefer the Tracks due to simplicity and weight. Also the Tracks I 
have include a built in carry strap, to allow you to carry them over your 
shoulder.
The Leki I have has built in springing to help cushion impact, which I don't 
feel is necessary.


Both have a screw off knob at the top which uncovers a screw onto which you 
could mount a camera.


Both collapse down to 33 to 35 inches.

Personally, I'd stick with a known pole producer, although in my experience 
Manfrotto is a quality producer.

http://www.photographybay.com/2015/01/16/manfrotto-officially-launches-off-road-backpacks-walking-sticks-tripods/


i've used hiking poles for 20 years or so, mainly for stability on 
mountain hikes and to give my knees a break; i don't think i've  noticed 
that they help my stamina; i've used telescoping versions  but the newer 
folding types can be lighter and quicker to pack/unpack


i've had a couple that had camera mounts, and i always thought it  was a 
good idea, but in practice i never wound up using the feature;  it could 
be more about my photography habits than about whether the  idea works, 
but i think a quick release would be better than screw  mount



Thanks for the feedback, Steve.

I'm not looking for them to help with stamina directly - I'm trying 
various exercise to help there - but, if they help with stability,  that 
will hopefully help stamina indirectly.


I am a bit concerned about them just getting in the way but as I now  use 
a small backpack rather than a shoulder bag, that might not be an  issue. 
I'm also planning on leaving my Pentax gear behind on my next  trip 
(shock! horror!) because I've bought a lightweight m43 system  that's a 
lot easier to manage.


I don't expect I'd use the camera mount much if I go with the  Manfrottos 
but it's probably nice to - just in case.

Re: OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?

2015-03-03 Thread John

I have a light weight collapsable walking stick similar to those shown.
I don't think it's sturdy enough to operate as a monopod with any
significant weight of camera/lens combo.

That light weight tripod might work if the legs could be detached &
plugged into walking stick handles. Otherwise you're going to end up
carrying BOTH the walking sticks & the tripod.

I've used a rather heavy Gitzo monopod as a walking stick, and that
worked reasonably well. I've thought about making a detachable headpiece
to screw onto it to make it look like Gandalf's staff.

One of the side benefits is that one of the poles has a camera mount, so
can be used as a monopod.

I should add that I'm not talking about extreme bushwalking - I doubt
I'd be covering more than perhaps 4 or 6 km over uneven ground in any

even if you don't use a camera mount, note that you can just plant a pole

it's either bright enough to handhold, or i'm down on the ground shooting

Re: OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?

2015-03-03 Thread Alex Lee

Hi Brian,

I love using hiking poles even though I’m a young guy with no major health 
issues. I can hike fine without poles but they definitely makes it easier on 
really long, strenuous hikes with big elevation changes, or if I’m carrying a 
lot of gear; I usually don’t bother on short hikes. I once did a big hike with 
a friend who was out of shape and having a difficult time on the way back, so I 
lent him one of my poles and it helped. They do help with balance, but also 
takes some impact off the feet and knees, but the arms are now in on the 
action. It’s not about using less energy but redistributing it which I think 
can make things easier. There is some technique to get used to, but it’s not 
hard to get into a rhythm with them. I think hiking poles are worth a try.

I’ve improvised a monopod on one of my hiking poles and it’s proved useful. 
I’ve never heard of the Manfrotto ones and I may check them out myself.

Alex

OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?

2015-03-03 Thread Igor PDML-StR



Brian,

I don't have experience with hiking poles, but I am sure it will be cold, 
no matter which, South or North Pole you choose!


North Pole is much warmer, and easier to get to (within a shorter walk) 
but it's harder to get to the solid ground there.

And it isn't "bushwalking" really..

Quoting Alan C :

Personally, I find anything in my hands (even a camera!) is a  
nuisance. However, I have observed many older hikers using them.  
They clearly help with stability.


Thanks, Alan.

Stability is one of my problems so I may get a set to try them out.
