Re: How much do you sell your prints for?
My cost for matting and framing is only $30. Gallery makes some nice wood frames that sell for around $15, and I use precut mats that sell for $10. I print my own pigment inkjets on an Epson R2400. So even when using the best Epson papers my cost is only about $5 a print. The gallery where I sell most often gets as much as $3000 for some very large prints and typically more like $500 for a print in the range of 11 x 14. But I have found that it's better to go for volume. But most of my sales are in conjunction with fee-based shoots, so the print sales are just gravy on top of the fee. If a subject buys three prints at $30 per, I pocket an extra $75. Paul -- Original message -- From: Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's fairly cheap. I sell (for minimal definitions of sell, I'm not actively selling prints, but have made sales) 10x15 pigment inkjet prints on 13x19 paper for $175, unmatted. As I don't do my own printing above 8.5x11 size, my cost there is around $80 to get the image printed professionally. I haven't priced out matted framed, but I'd probably go in the $250-300 range depending on framing costs. I base my pricing on what photographers I know who are actively selling charge. That said, I do live in a much larger art market than you(Toronto, which has a very strong market for Photography including a major month-long yearly Photography festival, Contact), so I suspect my market allows for higher pricing. -Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In gallery shows, I sell matted and framed 11 x 14s for $200.

Re: OT rant Flash!
I agree with all people who dislike the website navigation done with Flash. I believe, that it is just one of those waves. Earlier, we've seen animated gifs all over the websites with things jumping at you; background music playing as long as your browser is open with a particular page, unwarranted Java-based pages, etc. People who first encounter something that is looks different tend to use that, thinking it is cool. And if the customers pays, web-designers do what is ordered. I think this trend of flash-based web-pages will pass sooner or later. However, I think that the statement from you, Glenn, quoted below is not completely correct. Indeed, the idea behind HTML was to make it universal for all platforms and browsers. However, the implementation is far from that. This drives some web-designers to use a more unified way such as Flash, Java-plugin, etc. There are some web-page needs which are rather hard to implement properly in HTML (even with javascript), for exactly the reasons you listed: variations in the browser window size, browser type, and (what is hard to catch in Windows) - font size. E.g. if you configure your Windows to use large fonts (125%), the pages that rely on certain width (e.g. with tables), - may be messed up. Yes, there are some ways around that, but most of them are not elegant. On another hand, the flash-based viewers provided by LightRoom have capability of determining the browser window size and display the photos in the size most suitable for it (small, medium, large, according to their definitions). I think that is a easy and relatively good (compared to what else is currently available) solution. So, even though I use lynx sometimes, and prefer text-based menus on webpages, I think the Flash viewer for photo galleries may be a good solution. The main downside to it is that the Flash-based viewers provided by LightRoom load all the photos at once, which maybe bad for a large gallery. BTW, Flash viewers don't really protect photos from being stolen: it deters only some inexperienced users (security by obscurity). All those photos ARE downloaded and saved on your computer when you watch them.

Re: GESO: For Grace Fans Only:-)
Some nice shots there, Paul! I agree with others, http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6435196 is a great catch! One thought-idea for a shot: Grace and the cake in the same shot, so that her dress is juxtaposed with the cake's figurette dress. The fact that V-shaped cut of the two dresses are in the opposite directions (up and down) - could play a role. .. but the cake is long gone.. Another interesting combination is here: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6435180 Grace in her yellow dress and the doll in hers, but the rest of the colorful objects in the frame hide this juxtaposition. It would've been great if the rest of the objects/colors were neutral. Cheers, Igor -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Film/slide scanning
Rebekah wrote: Thanks Doug, I think you've made me even more nervous about having my slides scanned now! No really, that was all good to know. I'm going to read about GA like you suggested. Maybe I'll just have them scanned at 3000dpi, or better yet, just wait until I get my own scanner :-) Well, I didn't intend to scare you off. I intended something more along the lines of letting you know what /could/ happen ... not leave you with the impression that it would or probably would happen. I'm sorry for doing that. It occasionally happens, and when it does, it's almost always on a photo you really want to salvage. But it's not all that common, viewed in the large. It happens mostly with particular films scanned with particular scanners. Avoid those combinations, and your pretty much golden. GA also seems to be more common with consumer grade equipment. I haven't heard much in the way of whining about GA happening on professionally done scans. Maybe it happens but they've got more adjustments or better technology to take care of it when it does, so the customer never sees it. The rest of this is just sort of FYI explaining what causes it ... GA is a fact of life at certain resolutions. Basically, if the average size of a film grain (actually dye cloud on color films and chromogenic B+W films) is similar to the size of the sensor's pixels, things can get colorifically strange when the grains and the pixel wells overlap each other in some ways. Actually, it's when the size of the image of the dye cloud projected onto the sensor is similar in size to the sensor's pixel. Similar in this case seems to be somewhere around plus/minus half an order of magnitude. You can get similar issues when making any medium transfer, including copying film to film. It's just that on both films, the grains are more or less randomly distributed, both spatially and in size. Which means that the erroneous grains are also more or less randomly distributed. This takes the sting out of it for the human visual system, and it's much less noticeable. OTOH, the pixels on a sensor are rigidly and regularly distributed and sized. The erroneous pixels are still more or less randomly distributed, but somewhat less randomly than above. And they're less randomly distributed by being on a harshly rectilinear grid of fixed size features. That makes the effects stand out to human eyes when it does occur. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

OT (somewhat) - 12MP that'll do 60fps
A friend of mine who is the president of a digital video company turned me on to something new tonight. This camera system promises to make some big waves in Hollywood, and beyond. It's a digital video camera with a 12MP sensor in the Super 35mm format (24.4×13.7mm @ 4520×2540 pixels). To produce the quality of images that this camera is making at it's size and weight is game changing. I think Panavision and some of the other companies (Arriflex and others) are going to have to rethink things. Take a look (if you have the bandwidth) at some of the Quicktime video samples. I have to say, it's breathtaking. My only gripe, as with all digital capture, would be the look out of focus area. But even there, it looks pretty amazing. One interesting thing here is that this company is also making their own lenses, which is kind of unique, even in the movie camera field. A set of primes for this camera is about $19KUS. Too bad I didn't get my hands on something like this when I was in film school. It would've been a dream. No more labs, no more workprints. Right into the computer. Take a look at the quotes on the home page. One of the guys is inter-cutting film with digital.

DSLR FoV chart (4/3 System)
Ok, I did the FoV chart for DSLRs with a 13.5x18 mm sensor format (FourThirds standard). This shows diagonal FoV plotted against focal lengths from 7mm to 300mm. I used the endpoints of the 11-22, 14-50 plus 35, 105 and 180 mm lenses that I use as references: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/FourThirds-DSLR-FoV.jpg enjoy Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: GESO - Explorations fo Sudbury
Nice pix. Autoviewer worked perfectly for me ... I use it myself occasionally. It's pretty lightweight for flash ... what takes time is the size of the pictures you tell it to download.

Re: PESO - Retro vs. Artsy
Igor, plain b/w rendering with slight sepia tone that you seem to have chosen is much more to my liking. The galleries are very fascinating in presentation too. Boris Igor Roshchin wrote: I seldom do much of processing of photos, except for exposure/brighness/constrast, white-balance and sharpness adjustments, and occasional minor touch-ups. I recently played with a few shots taken at Camp Hollywood 2007 (huge swing-dance event in Los Angeles). It must've been the spirit of the event that inspired me: they had theme nights for social dances all three days (Chinatown, Pearl Harbor, and Grease) and live music with great jazz bands. I posted couple of shots here several weeks ago.

Re: K10D - auto white balance default adjustment...
On Tue, 18 Sep 2007 11:13:08 -0700, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote What are you using for processing? Lightroom or some other software? I started with the K10D using RAW/DNG capture mode and had a bunch of files in Lightroom v4.1 Beta before Lightroom v1.0 was released. I ran the out-of-camera DNG files through DNG Converter to compress them and save disk space. Once the catalog was updated in LR 1.0, I noticed that about 1/3 of them did a hefty color shift. Not all, which is somewhat puzzling. Since then I upgraded my workflow to capture in PEF format (to save space on the card in-camera) and convert on the fly to DNG format with Lightroom. I haven't seen anything different about the color balance if I import K10D RAW/PEF files directly, however. It should be simple enough to run a few exposures in pairs with RAW/ DNG and RAW/PEF on the K10D, compare them. Perhaps I'll do that today... :-) Godfrey Hi Godfrey I'm mainly using Photoshop CS3 and ACR 4.1, (I've just upgraded to ACR 4.2 with the release of Lightroom 1.2). I was using CS3 at the time and noticed quite a dramatic shift in colour between DNG and PEF, I was too busy to investigate the reason and promptly switched back to DNG. It wasn't long after I'd done a complete reformat of the PC so may just have been a colour space problem or something similar, but I'm curious enough to try a few exposures between DNG and PEF myself on the chance that it's a problem with the camera. I'd like to use the PEF format for the space saving advantages.
