RE: Portland Fountains
Read the email sig Ben 'Polyhead' Smith KE7GAL. You know the majority of this list have advanced degrees, and about 25% hold Doctorates of one kind or another. You being a 'Polyhead' maybe you should tell us the rest of your qualifications so we can be truely impressed. Regards, Bob S. I don't think it's anything to do with qualifications, Bob. It just means he looks like a parrot. You're a patient man, Bob. 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. it's always fun to poke these creatures with a stick from time to time, like being a 13 year old again and throwing conkers at a bull to annoy it.

OT: The modern world confuses me
It was so much simpler when we all had our own orchestra, and a team of relay runners to bring news of the outside world to our remote estates. Nowadays it's all RSS feeds and podcasts. I gave in to the lure of digital radio, and have bought myself a portable gadget which combines a DAB digital radio, and an mp3 player. The idea being that I can listen to radio programmes as they happen, but also automatically download programmes from the BBC and one or 2 other stations that are broadcast at inconvenient times. I use IE7, which includes a feed reader and I have added several feeds to the 'Favourites Center' (sp!) - it's very easy to do - and set the properties to download attached files automatically. For example: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/iot/rss.xml. However, I don't seem to get any content coming back when I try to refresh the feed, and there is no error message of any sort - just a blank page in the browser tab. Is anyone else using IE7 for this? If so, how are you getting it to work? I can't find any useful information about it other than the basic instructions about what to do. I have used other feed readers and they work fine, but I would prefer to use IE7 because it's convenient and (if I could make it work) easy. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

RE: Watch that white balance, folks!
It is interesting that I gave similar advice to an image for CC poster in the Pentax List on DPReview. This got me an immediate strong admonishment from another person who apparently liked the flat image and who told me that this may well have been the artistic intent of the OP and that the advice I gave was poor. You can't win in being honest and constructive with some people :)) Rod -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of 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.

Re: My uncle's photos. Longish.
From: Stan Halpin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Stan! Good points. I wonder - no dates imprinted on the borders of the slide mounts? Standard practice for most processors here in the states... Later slides, from early 60s onward do have month and year imprinted on the borders. However those from the 50s don't. It seems that many rolls from the 50s were just processed and not mounted, which he did himself (or he may have opened the original mount and mounted them in glass frames, without making any notes on when they were processed, or shot for that matter). 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. I have two table slide sorters that will allow for some 30 and 40 slides being laid out. I'd have use for a couple of more though and have been thinking of making another one by using some glass plates and small lights. Maybe I can make use of an old flatbed scanner no longer in use and put a small light in there. 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! I won't worry in case some shots will remain unidentified. There are for instance landscape views which are so general it would be impossible to identify where they were shot (although in many cases (by looking at previous or later shots of the same roll) I can pretty much assume around where it must have been shot, close to certain villages or parts of town etc.). And if I have to choose between thinking like a historian/archivist or like a photographer I will of course appöy my standrad method of approaching such options and choose both of them... :) However I think that by the help of other people I will be able to pin down dates to at least seasons of a year, and in some cases months and maybe even specific dates (Midsummer night's eve, Christmas, birthdays of young and old, are the kids able to walk yet, funerals, 1st of May, dates of major construction works, new street lamp posts, different types of antennas on the roofs, almost each year from the late 50s the local harbours have had new constructions being made to it, new streets being asphalted certain years, new pavements, dates of new ferry boats and ships (almost hundreds of them...), stores or offices being opened at certain adresses, particular official events, new car models, demolitions etc., etc.). Go through and pick out interesting photos - those with good natural portraits of people, good scenic and texture and detail. Yes, that's what I will eventually do. 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. Yes, I will go along those lines. Luckily I already personally know many people that will be of help, at the museum, people who have served in community planning, on boards of various companies and shipping lines etc. I just realized that I also could send a selection of photos to a few biologists who can give me an estimate as to when different types of trees, flowers and grass will bloom, or not yet ave done so or already did... Or a zoologist may estimate a date for young birds, or butterflies in case I'll spot any... In a few instances I think a farmer will be able to rougly guess a date depending on what farming tools are visible in a shot etc., or when cows were allowed/moved to certain areas etc.. I also realize - and I've been thinking about this many times before - that I also could make use some sort of a solar clock which would enable me to measure the angle/hight of the sunlight, since this actually will be more or less exactly repeated each year. I guess an astronomer could provide me with tables on that for each day. At least theorethically you could also accomplish this by making your own solar clock - a stick or a pole in the ground and then you you could shoot a picture of the shadow it will make each sunny day at certain times of day, both it's angle/direction and lenght, etc.. Then by looking at photos you could try to read the angle of sun light and determine around what date and time of the day it probably was shot. Or in many cases where constructions are still there I could go

Re: My uncle's photos. Longish.
From: mike wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Lasse Karlsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Not by profession - he was a radio-telegraphist (literally translated from Swedish - if you know what his profession would be called in English, please report (or in German, French, Spanish and Italian too). Radio-telegraphist is OK but radio-telegrapher would be better. Thanks, Mike. 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. Yes, I will later try to follow that routine. However, there simply are some initial steps which needs to be done and the only way I can see me getting it done is to fully throw myself into it and get it over with fast, or there is a chance that the task might seem too big to start off on. In this case I just thought better not to think it over too much, just grab the whole mess and quickly make it manageable for further work, which can be done the way you suggest. 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? I've been thinking about it, but for now, until i get a basic order to it, I wouldn't like to turn it over to anybody else. Besides, I also realized that I am probably the only person who is really able to do it reasonably right at this stage - I have enough experience and knowledge of dealing with films and images and in my family there is no one else with the same knowledge of family history or of how to go about getting information needed, let alone the interest to really do the work. I took the decision to start by just doing rough scans of the earliest and most important pictures as a means to more easily sort them and get a better overview. Later I will make a selection and try to properly clean them and make some archive scans of them. I have so far limited my work to these early pictures and excluded the great amount of later photos. From the 60s onwards the slides will have processing dates which will make it easier. I will also soon sort out the earliest negatives and try to sort these out. However, they are at least in various pockets and envelopes, although in complete dissarray, why I can deal with them little by little. The early slides however needed immediate attention because of their poor and in many cases unprotected state. I will have to make some decisions though as to how to deal with the total body of photographs. Probably will set out to do one, and just one only, look through all the slides and negatives and make a selection (and maby some notes) on the spot, immediately scan the selected ones etc., till I think I've gone through it all, and then see where it leaves me. The amount of material is so huge that you run the risk of getting lost or overwhelmed by it ending up nowhere. Furthermore, all this time and work that I already spent on my uncle's pictures, is something that I'd really need to put into my own stuff, which already since long has awaited similar work. In any case, I would dearly like to see some of them myself. I will soon get back to you all with a selection or two. Maybe I ought to point out that this is not a discovery of an unknown treasure of great photography. However there is a lot of good photography with local documentary value to it, quite a lot of very good landscape and scenery photography, a lot of nice family pictures, and surprisingly (to me) many good portraits of family, friends and aquaintences.

Re: Portland Fountains
What I've found here on the pdml is a bunch of people who are usually quite humble, but of outstanding intelligence. They don't flaunt it, but many have years of schooling and degrees to show for it. Others who don't have the degrees, often have strong intellects and curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. This list is capable of discussing a breadth and depth of things from the ridiculous to the sublime, science tech to philosophy. I don't think formal degrees make the man or woman, but would rather judge by what they say and think. I think most folks who stick around here share my point of view. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Portland Fountains
In the real world, you have to sometimes adjust your thinking to the level of the people around you. I don't expect you accept that, it took me decades to do so myself. However, I will comment on your photos. The are technically excellent, and boring as hell. The sort of thing someone who has taken a class or two on photography produces. Certainly not worth the time and effort it took to look at them. You photo typify why I normally do not comment on photos. They all fall into the boring, interesting, or gut-grabbing categories. All too often the technically excellent photos seem to be in the boring category; I suppose that is because they are do for the photography's sake rather than the pictures sake. The urge for technical perfection often gets in the way.

They're designed for idiots. On 22/12/07, Polyhead, discombobulated, unleashed: Well .. they are, in a way... but uhh... designed for idiots that buy hype over performance. Not only do I admit to being an idiot, but I also enjoy hype over performance. My iPhone is absolute crap. My MacBook Pro is poor with Final Cut Studio, but oddly enough I get paid to edit video, can't figure that one out. My Powerbook G3 (2000 vintage) is absolute rubbish, lasts only 9 hours on two batteries, but I can hook up with my 3G card in most places in the UK and get my email. I'm really pisspoor in not realising what insane purchasing decisions I have made. I should be flagelated with the business end of a cattle prod.
