RE: Your Great Photographic Moments?
Good question. It's impossible to pick a single moment. What photography does for me is take me to places I wouldn't otherwise go, and to events I wouldn't otherwise take part in. I love travelling, although I haven't done much exotic recently, and photography and travel are natural partners which feed off each other: travel inspires photography inspires travel. So my best times have been when I've travelled somewhere to photograph something specific. When it goes well you get into a zone where the world passes through your viewfinder like a movie. You feel connected and yet separate from the events going on around you. Mostly when this happens you can get a great set of pictures from the event. For me these include photographing a funeral in a Transylvanian village, photographing the Timkat festival in the mountains of Ethiopia - watching dawn rise over the mountains and gorges having spent the night out in a field with pilgrims during their all-night vigil; going out with peasant fishermen on their boat at dawn in Puri, Orissa; photographing druids in London, and a riot in London; women farming seaweed in Zanzibar; a wildlife safari in South Africa - it just goes on. Wandering around unknown cities, lost. The Mahalaxmi dhobi ghat in Mumbai; the Moscow river at sunrise on a -20 November morning... Photographing the children of my family and friends as they've grown up. All these things and many, many more are due to photography. Sometimes the pictures don't work, but you still have the experience and the memories - so you can't lose. The fishing photos from Puri turned out to be hopeless, but I had a wonderful experience and met some wonderful people. By the time I'd visited every house in the Transylvanian village I was so drunk I couldn't focus, and messed up what could have been one of the best photos of my life, when the chap who'd 'adopted' me for the day broke down in tears at his parent's grave. The composition and light, and the event itself are beautiful in this photo, but it is hopelessly out of focus. But it doesn't matter much because in the end I don't really need the photo - I have the experience. -- Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christine Aguila Sent: 09 February 2008 01:42 To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: Your Great Photographic Moments?

RE: Your Great Photographic Moments?
My greatest photographic moment? In all honesty it has to be the time a young and beautiful friend decided that she wanted me to photograph her in what she was wearing when she came into the world. I met one of my best friends in a similar way. This was in the late 1980s. She was a model and needed some photos for her portfolio. A mutual friend recommended me, so we arranged a shooting session. One thing led to another and she moved in with me for a while. That didn't last and she's now married with children, but we are still very good friends, 20 years on; we chat at least once a week and meet as often as practicable. Photography is great. -- Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Peso - On a windy day
Thanks for all the feedback, folks. Like it did for Bruce, the blogpost popped up hiding the bottom of the pic, and that put the idea of cropping into my head in the first place. All the advocates of cropping suggest the same, to remove the shaded part at the bottom. Reason I couldn't decide whether to crop is I think the shade emphasise the direction of the light very nicely. Also, the area is about the same size as the area of sky at top, so they sort of balance each other. OTOH, it doesn't contribute much to the central theme of the pic. Another version will probably surface abruptly... :-) Best, Jostein 2008/2/8, AlunFoto [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://alunfoto.blogspot.com/2008/02/on-windy-day.html Should I crop this one a bit?

Re: Your Great Photographic Moments?
I think such moments come in at least two distinct flavours. One is where I've put down loads of effort in preparing to photograph a particular subject, and the effort is crowned by photographic success. The other is where an opportunity finds me out of the blue and I come away surprised and lucky. There are many moments to look back at, of both flavours. The memory of kick induced by those moments is one of the main drives to keep on photographing, especially through the inevitable dry spells. Two particular memories of return-for-preparations: My first successful photo of a snow crystal came after first envying Mark Cassino's shots for several years, then looking into what kind of gear I needed, figuring out how to handle those brittle little things, and finally seize the opportunities when they arose. It took many opportunities to get the first one good enough to be proud of. In 2004, Adelheid von Kirschten and I toured the East Coast of USA. We had been to GFM, and meandered out to the Outer Banks. It was on our first morning out there the Venus Passage took place, and I rose early to get a glimpse. Rising early is a particular personal challenge for me... :-) As the morning fog rolled in from the Atlantic, I realised that I would either miss it or get a wonderful opportunity to photograph it without the need for any special filters. So I prepared by finding a sand dune with some nice straws on it and waited for the sun to shine through the fog some time before the passage was over. It got exactly _one_ shot. And it worked out. One example of the other flavour is from when we (the whole family) visited Boris Liberman and family in Israel in 2005. They took us to Jerusalem one day, and wandering around I observed a couple of schoolkids playing and stopped to take a pic. They noticed me, thought I was funny or something and shot back. Not with a camera, but with a toy gun. I think I've shown all the mentioned pics here... The latter two have been accepted into the Pentax gallery too.

Well it was a very special afternoon because the museum had just completed restoration of a DH2 pursuit, (fighter to the uninitiated), plane. The restoration effort had taken about 10 years and this was to be it's first flight since being stored in a barn sometime in the 1920's. Well the plane took off and flew beautifully.

Luckily for the me, and the rest of the audience, there was a reproduction WWI ambulance and a restored Renault Light Tank that were too close together for the DH2 to squeeze between them, and the plane was brought to a halt with a great splintering of wood and riping of canvas.

There have been a few, but the one that is in my mind from time to time revolves around a two week stay in Denali national Park, Alaska in 2004. I've been going to Alaska since 1980, mainly to shoot in Denali. Wolves have always been a thing with me since my first backpacking trips to Isle Royale, in Lake Superior, where I could hear them howl, but never got to see one first hand. Up to 2004, my trips to Denali had never presented me with the opportunity to photograph wolves in anything but transit situations, plus I never had enough lens to do those situations justice. In 2004, I was in Denali shooting with a group of photogs led by Geo. Lepp, while on the road in Denali, our group heard over the radio of a Caribou takedown, a few miles up the road. We immediately headed to that location (the east fork of the Toklat river). When we arrived the Caribou was down in the river bed two adult wolves were taking turn feeding on the carcass then going off in the distance to feed two pups. We parked on a rise overlooking the river. I was able to set up my 600 *ist D in the bus shoot their actions for several hours. I captured several hundred images of this scene. What sticks with me are the images of this family of wolves doing what they do to survive. This is one of the my most memorable outdoor experiences ever. The trip was in celebration of out 35 wedding anniversary my 60 birthday.

I think such moments come in at least two distinct flavours. One is where I've put down loads of effort in preparing to photograph a particular subject, and the effort is crowned by photographic success. The other is where an opportunity finds me out of the blue and I come away surprised and lucky. There are many moments to look back at, of both flavours. The memory of kick induced by those moments is one of the main drives to keep on photographing, especially through the inevitable dry spells. Two particular memories of return-for-preparations: My first successful photo of a snow crystal came after first envying Mark Cassino's shots for several years, then looking into what kind of gear I needed, figuring out how to handle those brittle little things, and finally seize the opportunities when they arose. It took many opportunities to get the first one good enough to be proud of. In 2004, Adelheid von Kirschten and I toured the East Coast of USA. We had been to GFM, and meandered out to the Outer Banks. It was on our first morning out there the Venus Passage took place, and I rose early to get a glimpse. Rising early is a particular personal challenge for me... :-) As the morning fog rolled in from the Atlantic, I realised that I would either miss it or get a wonderful opportunity to photograph it without the need for any special filters. So I prepared by finding a sand dune with some nice straws on it and waited for the sun to shine through the fog some time before the passage was over. It got exactly _one_ shot. And it worked out. One example of the other flavour is from when we (the whole family) visited Boris Liberman and family in Israel in 2005. They took us to Jerusalem one day, and wandering around I observed a couple of schoolkids playing and stopped to take a pic. They noticed me, thought I was funny or something and shot back. Not with a camera, but with a toy gun. I think I've shown all the mentioned pics here... The latter two have been accepted into the Pentax gallery too.

Bob W: Yes, photography travel are natural partners. You've had some wonderful photographic moments travels. I bet the photographs are terrific. Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: Bob W [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' pdml@pdml.net Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2008 2:13 AM Subject: RE: Your Great Photographic Moments? Good question. It's impossible to pick a single moment. What photography does for me is take me to places I wouldn't otherwise go, and to events I wouldn't otherwise take part in. I love travelling, although I haven't done much exotic recently, and photography and travel are natural partners which feed off each other: travel inspires photography inspires travel. So my best times have been when I've travelled somewhere to photograph something specific. When it goes well you get into a zone where the world passes through your viewfinder like a movie. You feel connected and yet separate from the events going on around you. Mostly when this happens you can get a great set of pictures from the event. For me these include photographing a funeral in a Transylvanian village, photographing the Timkat festival in the mountains of Ethiopia - watching dawn rise over the mountains and gorges having spent the night out in a field with pilgrims during their all-night vigil; going out with peasant fishermen on their boat at dawn in Puri, Orissa; photographing druids in London, and a riot in London; women farming seaweed in Zanzibar; a wildlife safari in South Africa - it just goes on. Wandering around unknown cities, lost. The Mahalaxmi dhobi ghat in Mumbai; the Moscow river at sunrise on a -20 November morning... Photographing the children of my family and friends as they've grown up. All these things and many, many more are due to photography. Sometimes the pictures don't work, but you still have the experience and the memories - so you can't lose. The fishing photos from Puri turned out to be hopeless, but I had a wonderful experience and met some wonderful people. By the time I'd visited every house in the Transylvanian village I was so drunk I couldn't focus, and messed up what could have been one of the best photos of my life, when the chap who'd 'adopted' me for the day broke down in tears at his parent's grave. The composition and light, and the event itself are beautiful in this photo, but it is hopelessly out of focus. But it doesn't matter much because in the end I don't really need the photo - I have the experience. -- Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christine Aguila Sent: 09 February 2008 01:42 To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: Your Great Photographic Moments?

Heh, I'm just glad I wasn't paying for the helicopter, the one I was in runs about $900/hr to hire.

Anyone willing to share a story or 2? My greatest involved some very kinky activities. We'll talk no more of this. BUT.. Many, many years ago (it would have had to be 1979), the lady I am now married to and I decided to take some LSD and have a private party. One thing led to another and we found ourselves in the middle of a cemetery at about midnight, her in a long white gown, and the pallour that only a good blotter can give you, me trying to figure out how to operate a Bronica ETRs camera when I could probably barely organize a trip to the bathroom, and in a knee deep fog, which is what made us decide on the venture in the first place. The idea was to get some pictures of her using illumination from the nearest streetlight hanging out beside this really creepy mausoleum. I was shooting a wedding one day. It was a full meal deal, and everything was going swimmingly. I had a good feeling about the pre-bridals, and was waiting on the steps of the church for the limo to arrive. It arrived, the bride stepped out of the car and got into daddys car that was right behind and drove away. Apparenty the maid of honour had been the entertainment at the stag, and had chosen the ride to the church as the correct time to have a meltdown about it. The groom with no ring finger is right up there for moments that I could have handled better I could go on and on, but I think the cemetery story is the best one.

Re: Your Great Photographic Moments?
Ok, I'm in. You asked about great photographic moments, and to be honest there have been so very many of them for me - partly to do with my job. As a news cameraman, I can think of very few places I've filmed or photographed. One would be in a submarine or at the bottom of the sea. Another would be space. I've been in just about every other conceivable situation between those two points. Which kind of waters the experience down a bit sometimes, but hey. So I thought long and hard, and I think I have come up with something that might qualify a a 'great photographic moment'. I distinctly remember my first colour prints off an Epson Stylus Photo (must be nearly ten years ago?) and the immense buzz I got seeing my (then scanned) pictures appearing magically before my eyes in incredible detail and vivacity. Of course, at art college years earlier I had experience something similar with my first black and white wet prints, and then colour. But once I saw those prints off the Stylus Photo (EX - it printed A3) I was so wowed by them that my mind raced with the possibilities. Never again would I have to deal with stinking chemicals and the turgid rituals of agitation. I know many here profess that these very things are a part and parcel of a historic process that verges on the sacred. Alas, not for me. I could blow it out of my bottom. The only other thing that I would quantify as a great photographic moment is when I really felt happy using video editing software (Final Cut) but that's a but tenuous in this case so I'll leave it with the Espon :-) If you want amusing stories, here's just one. I photographed a beautiful sunrise once - a large patch of crimson cloud in an otherwise deep blue sky just before sun-up. I exposed three or four frames if I recall, none longer than about 1/4 sec. On close inspection later, one of the frames appeared to have a streak of crap or something that wasn't obvious, about a couple of dozen pixels long, at a 45 degree angle, bright white, almost like some sort of sensor artifact. BUT - zooming right in to study it (appearing only on one frame, otherwise identical to the frames before and after, taken only a minute or two apart), one thing was obvious - the streak went behind a whisp of cloud and reappeared the other side. It was bright at the front and trailed off at the back. Of course, I had managed to capture a meteor in flight. A shooting star! That was fun. I'll see if I can dig out the pic with a blow-up section. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Do you think Ansell Adams would have used digital? I believe in the last revamp of The Negative that Ansel edited before he died, he wrote about how exciting the age of digital was going to be, and how it would revolutionize photography. He wrote, knowing that he wouldn't live long enough to see the changes digital would bring to photography, but with a curious interest in the new technology, and a wistfulness that he wouldn't get a chance to see it mature. So yes, I am quite certain that Ansel Adams would have not only used digital, he would have embraced it, and I think digital would have been better off for it, in the same way that film was much improved by Ansels's advice to the film industry. Yep, I laughed at the ignorance of that line too. At the George Eastman house you can see a video of Adams in the last years of his life, working with students and talking about his enthusiasm for electronic photography. At the time, it was analog, not digital (basically still video), but he quite openly states that he sees it as the future and he's clearly excited about it. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Equine Photography www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ Ontario Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Your Great Photographic Moments?
Duh, well I'm being a dork here not to post the links. It's been a while since I took those shots. Two of them in 2004 and one in 2005. Here they are, so you don't have to wade through: Jerusalem, February 2005: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artist/galleryimages/gallery_image_232203.jpg Outer Banks, June 2004: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artist/galleryimages/gallery_image_237374.jpg First snow crystal I dared to show anyone: http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildegalleri/vis_bilde.cgi?id=148106 While writing this, I can still connect to the feeling of having a real keeper from each particular moment... :-) Good luck in your own endeavours, Christine.

I think such moments come in at least two distinct flavours.

The other is where an opportunity finds me out of the blue and I come away surprised and lucky. There are many moments to look back at, of both flavours. The memory of kick induced by those moments is one of the main drives to keep on photographing, especially through the inevitable dry spells. Two particular memories of return-for-preparations: My first successful photo of a snow crystal came after first envying Mark Cassino's shots for several years, then looking into what kind of gear I needed, figuring out how to handle those brittle little things, and finally seize the opportunities when they arose. It took many opportunities to get the first one good enough to be proud of. In 2004, Adelheid von Kirschten and I toured the East Coast of USA. We had been to GFM, and meandered out to the Outer Banks. It was on our first morning out there the Venus Passage took place, and I rose early to get a glimpse. Rising early is a particular personal challenge for me... :-) As the morning fog rolled in from the Atlantic, I realised that I would either miss it or get a wonderful opportunity to photograph it without the need for any special filters. So I prepared by finding a sand dune with some nice straws on it and waited for the sun to shine through the fog some time before the passage was over. It got exactly _one_ shot. And it worked out. One example of the other flavour is from when we (the whole family) visited Boris Liberman and family in Israel in 2005. They took us to Jerusalem one day, and wandering around I observed a couple of schoolkids playing and stopped to take a pic. They noticed me, thought I was funny or something and shot back.

Re: Your Great Photographic Moments?
Just two for now, one family-oriented, the next travel-related. There have been many other realisations that the photo I took at the time is a precious memory, but these stand out for the emotions they bring back. First, a picture of my son at 22 hours old. It's BW, grainy, the lighting's awful and it's a little soft, but I treasure the memory of that moment when I first saw him. He's now 36, so he's a little different now! Second, a shot taken on board a ship entering Cape Town harbour at dawn. The colours are incredible, but the main influence is that it was taken as a very important episode in my life ended. Neither of these has ever been shown on the PUG, or as a PESO, so there are no links to provide.

Well, it seems I'm about to be published for my first time. Recently, I was given an *ist D, and brought it to work a few days later to work on a project I had proposed to a manager (I work in a restaurant). Turns out the owner had shown up to take pictures of a few specials they were going to be running for Valentine's Day, and he had brought his fancy Canon. Turns out his camera was out of battery, and so I was called upon to take the pictures. So, the ad should be running in the local newspaper here in Charleston, The Post and Courier, starting Sunday and I believe running until Valentine's Day.
