So, wanting to just be yourself, and not intrested in changing how you do 
things makes you a troll?  I fail to see how you could possibly find any logic 
in that statement.

I fear he's also somewhat of a foolish one.  The wisest (albeit
hardest) course of action here would be to refrain from posting.
Everything I've seen of Polyhead makes me believe he's the
classic troll - one who feeds on attention, and isn't in the
least interested in changing his behaviour.

The best thing to do is to simply ignore him - trying to
engage him in an argument is just letting him pick the rules.

Good shot and even more interesting story.

At first the shadow bothered me a bit, but then thinking 'noir', it 
probably works well that way.

Thanks to everyone who commented.

I'm playing around with levels adjustment layers in photoshop to see if 
I can smooth out the joins a bit more. A centre grad filter would be 
ideal, but I just had a look at the prices - phew.

PESO: Floating on Lilies

[Bong Manayon]

Hello...

Sort of made a new year's resolve - post more often!  And why wait for
the new year? :-)

http://www.bong.uni.cc/peso/2007-01.htm

It's a sunrise shot on a nearby lake.  I was hoping to get a water
foreground except it strewn with water lilies.  I had to fire the
built-in flash of the DS for this one.

Thanks for looking!

Bong

Re: My uncle's photos. Longish.

[Stan Halpin]

Lasse - interesting project you have inherited!

I wonder - no dates imprinted on the borders of the slide mounts?  
Standard practice for most processors here in the states...

Two separate thoughts.
1. Long ago and far away a friend and I assembled a "best of the  
year" slide show based on slides contributed by members of our  
climbing club. My friend was an editor with National Geographic, and  
in her office she had a light table that has huge - probably 3 meters  
by 1 meter. Made it very easy to lay out dozens and dozens and dozens  
of slides, sort them, rearrange them... You might want to think about  
how to improvise something like that to help in your sorting.

2. This situation with your uncle's photos is a case where perfection  
should not be the standard of success! Don't worry if you cannot  
identify each and every person, each venue, and the dates associated.  
Don't think like a historian or archivist, think like a photographer!  
Go through and pick out "interesting" photos - those with good  
natural portraits of people, good scenic and texture and detail.  
Assemble a show and or publish a book of the photos. Get the citizens  
to view the results, they will be glad to help with the  
identification of the historical details. Get local historians and  
librarians involved in the historical part, and you keep on digging  
for the good photographs within the archive.

Best of luck. A great opportunity, interesting challenge.

Re: Portland Fountains

[graywolf]

Well, the problem you see is that Graywolf is not my on-line name, my business 
cards say Tom "Graywolf" Rittenhouse. Most people knew me by that name even 
before I ever was on-line. Although I will admit that it came about as a 
reaction to "handles", I had so many I sometimes didn't know who I was. Let's 
see is that my CB Handle, my Trail Name, my Rainbow Name, my Nickname...? One 
Name that is who I am; and a legal designation that satisfies the government, 
that's it.

However, I understand where folks around here are coming from, they are just a 
class of people who do not use nicknames. Strangely it is not the few locals 
that have the problem, they are mostly OK with it, it is the well to do 
retirees, and dropped-out hippies (this town is full of hippies that came up 
here in the 70's and are now the squarest people you could imagine) that have 
the the problem. People are just funny, that's all. Me, I'm no different, I'm 
just funny in different ways than most.

So I wasn't just imagining it?

I know as one gets older, time seems to be going by faster and faster,  
so I thought maybe I was just losing track of time

Hmmm - AFPAW (a few pictures a week)
 ABOPAW (a bunch of pictures a week)
MPTIKWTDWAW (more pictures than I know what to do with a week)

Just a few suggestions.  ;-)

Y'know, I've grown up knowing a large on-line community - from way  
back when when we all used 300 or 1200-baud modems to dial into  
bulletin boards.  Even back in 1985 we were having gatherings where  
we'd get together and I couldn't call people by their "handles",  
"tags" or "aliases" comfortably.  Frankly, I like addressing people by  
their real names - that's just one of my hangups.

This was back when my online name was "random entry" (because I  
couldn't think of a username the first board I logged onto) and I  
still have people in town when I'm at a party who will call me  
"random".  H.

Of course, if a person prefers to go by their alias, I can be trained  
to use it.  But if no preference is expressed, I go for the REAL name.

Awesome.  I'll bet it would look great printed BIG and hung on a wall in a 
room with smooth concrete flooring.  I'm talking HUGE.  No frame, either. 
Just mount it on gatorfoam and stick it to the wall with a very thin 
adhesive.  That's how I see it in my mind, anyway.

Also: the red leaves in the cracks look like blood and/or lava.  Gives it an 
almost-living feeling, for me.

Re: Portland Fountains

[graywolf]

I can no imagine why someone would use a name like Bob, or George, or Tom

"Hi, my name is Tom Rittenhouse, my friends call me Graywolf."

"Nice to meet you Mister Rittenhouse."

Then they wonder why I don't consider them friends... when they have all but 
told me they weren't and didn't want to be.

'Polyhead',

I'm glad that I've missed this thread.
Your pictures take to long to load.
The extra time doesn't bring any extra quality.
You're wasting my time (on a high speed line!)
Why should I look?
To give you some note of praise?
Not after your arrogant rants.
Go away and don't bother us until your attitude improves.
You waste the bandwith here.

Thanks Charles.

Yes, you're right: I'm gathering on average 200-300 exposures a week

PESO Plant Name Query

[Christine Aguila]

Hi Everyone:

Does anyone know the name of this plant?  A friend said maybe of the 
Milkweed family.  Is it?

Also, comments & critique welcome, especially on cropping.  I'd like to 
feature  the wispy things on the right.

K10D, DA* 50 - 135, at f/something or other, exposed for just a bit.

Re: PESO - Orangutan

[Jack Davis]

It's a nice shot, Bruce.
When I saw this in a Pentax Gallery voting set, I thought; if the face
had been dodged a bit and the small blown out area of hair in the lower
center burned in a little, it would have a real chance.
It may do so in any case, just my thoughts at the time.

Re: Watch that white balance, folks!

[Ken Waller]

> What's white balance?

Better called white point.

I was referring to looking @ the image's histogram in levels & ensuring the 
whitest white in the image was @ the far RH portion of the histogram without 
blowing out the details (clipping) & also ensuring the blackest black 
(shadow detail) in the image was @ the far LH portion.  In levels, holding 
the alt/option key gives you a clipping preview as you adjust the white 
point slider. Using the alt/option key, while adjusting the black point 
slider shows you where you're losing shadow detail in the image.

Hi, Christine,

Thanks for your suggestion. It's a good one, except for the fact that there 
actually no longer is that much of a family, useful for these photos, to 
gather... : /.
However, I have already by phone talked a lot to my aunt, a favourite 
relative of mine and kid sister of my uncle, now approaching her 80s, living 
in Sweden. And we've decided to get together come spring when she'll come 
visiting again.
I don't want to wait that long, so I will send her a selection of photos to 
view and identify when she's spending Christmas with her sons (she doesn't 
use a computer). She will get some Christmas present for sure. Her brother 
shot a number of very nice portraits of her which she probably has never 
seen, as well as many other family pictures of her and her family. She and I 
(like my mother, her sister, who passed away ten years ago) both share this 
interest and joy of documenting and caring of "everything family", so to 
speak.

I have also talked to a number of other people, relatives of my uncle's wife 
as well as just people from around here who remember him, events and places 
etc.. I also have a list of people, friends of his (in some instances also 
of me) who can not only be of great help to me, but probably also will be 
greatly surprised with many "new" great pictures of themselves, their family 
and friends, many of which are long gone. As soon as I get a useful 
selection of pictures gathered I will approach them, either bringing them 
prints or inviting them to come by for coffee and a show at my computer 
screen.

Thanks,
Lasse

Re: PESO: A fifties chrome

[Igor Roshchin]

Paul,

It's a nice retro-looking photo. 
(Maybe not so retro-looking model - I suspect the hair style was 
different back then. - Bingo, that's what in this picture was not quite 
50-60s for me.)

There is a strange thing that bothers me a little bit.
Some areas of the skin look a bit bleached out, - e.g. 
around model's left (right for us) eye, just above the arm-pit,
the "tip" of the shoulder area, just around carpal joint.
I don't know if it was on the original photograph.
It may be due to the "retro"-conversion of the highlights.
It is, however, possible that it's just my laptop's screen. 
(If the latter is the case, I apologize for this noise.)

Igor

Hi, John,

Make that desire come true, as soon as possible. You won't regret it. (While 
you bitterly will, in case something happens to them before you get 
there...:) )
If your father is still around, bring paper and pen and make notes.
If he's no longer around, track down any- and everyone available who may be 
able to help out in bringing those photos alive.

It is a fascinating journey to make, if you will. And if you get hold of old 
negatives, not seldom "large medium format" and much more "densed" with 
information than regular 35mm film, it's amazing what you can bring out of 
them. (I recently bought an Epson V700 scanner which will scan any negative 
up to A4 size). Hell, even small Instamatic negs keep astonishing me by what 
can be retrieved by some digital tweaking, in case they need some.

Thanks,
Lasse

Radio-telegraphist is OK but radio-telegrapher would be better.

I hope you manage to do something with this archive.  For me, when faced with 
huge tasks like this, the only way is to make sure that I do _something_ every 
day until it is finished, no matter how small that something is.

Maybe a local museum would be interested in getting some of the donkey work 
(basic scanning) done in return for first consideration of the results?

In any case, I would dearly like to see some of them myself.

I know the fox around here eat the geese. I don't know if the coyotes do so as 
well. But there aren't anywhere near enough fox to keep the population under 
control. And of course the geese are happyiest in populated areas which the fox 
avoid.

Thanks, Paul.

Yes I will soon post a few samples for you all to see.
I already have started scanning while trying to sort out and "rebuild" the 
original rolls of film.
There is quite a great variety of transparency films: In the fifties mostly 
Agfacolor of different types, but also Kodachromes, Ektachromes, Ilford, 
Anscocolor, Adoxcolor, Perutz etc. and later also Fuji as well as others.
Some of them have retained beautiful vivid colors and quality while others 
haven't fared that good, exhibiting severe discolorings, as well as real 
physical abuse of different kinds in some instances.

Happy holidays to you too.

Thanks,
Lasse

Hi George,

That's a good idea. In fact it is such a good idea that I already thought 
about it. :)
Though I haven't decided yet exactly how I will go about doing it.

I will definitely put up a few pictures and inroduce this "find" on my local 
blog. Maybe link it to another web gallery, asking people to help out 
identifying buildings, places and people.
Or I may approach the local news papers as well. Giving a few samples and a 
link.

Or/and contacting the local muséum, which at times has arranged exhibitions 
of old photographs asking visitors to help identifying places and people. 
People around here seem to enjoy doing that. (I'd say that the Alanders are 
particularly fond of caring about their past in such a way, because they 
will likely find old relatives and places they have a relation to in one way 
or another in the pictures.)

Thanks,
Lasse

Neither of us have ever gotten over that trauma...

Yes it has the look, though maybe a bit earlier, late 40's maybe.

Hum, we seem to have plenty of Coyotes around here. 
The Geese thrive, whilst local cats and little dogs live in fear.

Neither have PR departments and advertising companies.

I recall seeing old ads from the 1930s advertising gramophones - the
ones that played acetate records through acoustic horns - claiming
they sounded so close to real life one would have trouble
distinguishing the two.  Look at the RCA Victor symbol, the dog (was
his name Topper?) hearing "his master's voice" from the gramophone
which was obviously so near reality even with his keen hearing Topper
couldn't tell.

Whatever the current technology is will always be touted as "near
perfect" - when it never is.

cheers,
frank
