Re: PESO: Finch Tryst

[Jack Davis]

Only for the gritty mood. We have two well attended finch feeders in out back 
yard which have allowed me to shoot them any number of times. These are 
probably the only two who's color I'll ever change. 

Thanks for comments, Rick.

I like the soft mood lighting in all. The tower photo sky is quite nice.
"Love by the Rhine" is especially well composed.

No, simply blew it out with the bright slider in the drop down "enhance" menu. 
I liked the gritty look, so just left it there.

I really like the unusual composition.  I miss the (presumably) vivid yellow

PESO: Two re-posts

[Rick Womer]

Neither of these got any comments, and one of them isn't in the archives, so 
they may have gotten lost in holiday cyberspace.

"Love by the Rhine" was the more recent, taken at dusk in Dusseldorf.  It was 
an unusual Theriaultian moment for me.

(K10D, DA 16-45, ISO 560, f/4.5 @ 1/45, RAW via LR).

The second is a pair: the Rheinturm (Dusseldorf's proud tower), and the view of 
the Rhine from the Rheinturm:

Re: Photographing red flower and plants, problems.

[Ken Waller]

Did you check the red channel on the camera histogram?

I've noticed similar concerns while shooting red wing blackbirds & tend to 
bias away from the highlight side to bring the reds under control.

That is a very neat idea.

But running a projector bulb (typically 250-350 watts) for 12 hours a 
day for 7 days during the printing process is *not* environmentally 
sensitive. :-)

Hey, I wonder if one could wire up an inkjet printer's electronics to 
solenoids in the bottom of a fertilizer spreader, then run it back and 
forth in precise rows over one's grass?

Good catch of a nice moment. Did you pull the highlights down as far as

PESO: Finch Tryst

[Jack Davis]

Just veg'n on the patio when this pair began to "carry on". Had the FA 80~320 
nearby.
Gave it a seedy unseemly look for naughty impact. Notice they, also, appear to 
be playing footsie. !!

Wonderful.  The donkey does look smug about it, which really makes the

I was at a zoo-like place with my younger daughter, Édua. She loves
horses
(and donkeys too... she just can't different them :D) and I think she
surprised everyone around her with this:

OT: Free Software

[D. Glenn Arthur Jr.]

There was that recent discussion sparked partly by my asking a GIMP
question that turned into "why would anybody choose to run Linux"
and some apparent misunderstandings about the nature of and motivations
for 'free software'.

I wrote a long message about some of those misconceptions which
appears never to have made it to the list, which may be just as well
... especially since someone else has now stated one of the important
bits better than I had done.

I don't really want to re-open that thread here (though I'm certainly
willing to discuss it more off-list), but I do want to put the
following quote from a free-software author where folks who aren't
familiar with the relevant memes can see it:



Anyway, we talk a lot about Free Software. Some people 
suppose it means software you don't have to pay for. 
It doesn't mean that: it means software which grants 
you certain freedoms. One of those is the right to 
change the way it works and make that into a whole new 
program, which is called "forking"; this right is often 
called "the right to fork". Last week someone announced 
he had forked Gnusto into a new system called Parchment, 
which will let you play any of these hundreds of games 
on the web with almost any modern browser. People took 
what Eric and I had done and mashed it up and made 
something beautiful with it. That is the power of 
freedom. That is why I'm happy.

I don't think this is a controversial statement; it is simply one of
the various aspects motivating some people to seek out free software.
I present it solely for the edification of those who hadn't had reason
to know/understand this before but who had expressed curiosity as to
why some of us do choose it.  I'm not saying (though some would) that 
this makes all free software automatically better than any proprietary
software, just pointing out one of the factors to weigh when deciding
on a case by case basis which to use.

Re: OT: Beer content

Asahi makes pretty good beer, even if it had no connection to the old
Asahi Optical Corporation that made the Asahi Pentax.  Of course,
Asahi is a pretty common name for Japanese products and companies.

Re: OT: Network speed?

Yeah... it's _STILL_ going.  It's been going since last night.  It does 
still seem to be sending files over.  I remember one time I did an 
"initial back-up" with PSE to my 160GB external USB drive and it took 
_FOREVER_ but I was having weird problems at the time with my USB bus 
dropping to USB1 so I figured that was it.  maybe it's actually a 
problem with PSE.

Not that long at anything like that maximum transfer speed.  However

About 4.5 hours at a rate of 5MB/s, which is about what 100Mb Ethernet

Clarity and focus issues.

I have a call into the salesman i deal with, to make sure this is
covered and who sends it in to Nikon.

My close up portrait and macro shots are wonderful. Great detail and sharpness.

My equine action shots, S^&**K. Soft, lack of detail and it looks like
it is bfing a lot. The jump i am focused on is soft, but if there is a
jump or what not behind, it will be sharp.

I have my D200 set up as was suggested by Bill Fourtnay when i met him
in 2006 at GFM.

I have left it this long, as i don't use the camera a lot and forgot
about the problem, how ever i used it at a show not long ago and when
i looked at the photos, i remembered what it gave me before.

I tried both the 70-200 and 80-200 and it looks the same, so hopfully
it just needs an adjustment. The same lenses on my D1 and D1h produce
nice, sharp photos, good detail.

Re: LR export question, or at least confirmation

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

The recommended settings for using the edit in external editor for  
Photoshop are TIFF, 16bit and Prophoto RGB.

In PS, go to Color Settings, pick the "North American Prepress 2"  
bundle the change the working RGB setting to ProPhoto RGB. This gives  
the most seamless operation and broadest editing flexibilty.

Re: LR export question, or at least confirmation

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

In the editing environment, there is no adjustment: LR is always  
promoting all adjustment as 16bit per channel, ProPhoto RGB,  
converting from whatever a particular file might contain on the fly.

In the Export dialog, you can set sRGB, Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB for  
the output file.

PESO: Watching

[David Savage]

G'day Folks.

Firstly I want to thank all who commented on my "Misty Morn" PESO.
You're comments were well received & much appreciated.

Now here's something I took a few weeks ago at a slide show night held
at a local gallery (~150KB):



Pentax LX, FA 31mm f1.8, about 1/2 second @ f1.8, Tri-X 400.

Any & all comments welcome.

Cheers,

Dave

Very cool shot.  I think it's better without anyone walking down the
stairs.  The desertion and isolation add to the photo.

One of the best child pictures I have seen here.  Possibly _the_ best.  The 
"decisive moment" overcomes all of the slight technical deficiencies.

Re: Another bird picture

The brd and the twig are fine. very fine.
But the background isn't pleasing to my eye. I really have to strugle
to keep them fokused at the motif.

OT: Network speed?

[Cory Waters]

Some of you might have read that I was trying to build a server using 
the free Ubuntu Linux system.  The server was meant to be a box in my 
basement that's used for file storage and back-ups.  Well i think I got 
it all working yesterday and started a full back-up in  Photoshop 
Elements 5.  Then I went to watch TV.  I read a book for a while.  I 
farted around online for a couple hours. I went to bed.  I got up this 
morning and it's _Still_ working...  My PSE files are something like 
80GB.  How long should that take to transfer six feet over a 10/100 network?

With Lightroom, you can choose the colorspace for your exported images.

BTW: In Photoshop (at least CS3), "Save for Web" automatically converts 
your image to sRGB colorspace. (At least, it does by default: You can 
turn this option off.)

Thanks! This is a photoblog, so there's no need to write so much. :)
Some people on Shutterchance write a lot with their photos. I'll
probably write more when I feel a photo needs more explanation.

Re: Another bird picture

Very nice Bill,
The bird is sharp and the background/bokeh is very good.
He looks a little unkemped though, like he didn't groom his feahers.
Was he in the process of fluffing up a bit?

Re: PESO: Underground Berlin

[Rick Womer]

I had the same idea.  Alas, it was about 9:15 pm, at a fairly remote station, 
and our train came before anyone cooperated.

Such is the photographic life when traveling with family or spouse--but that is 
not a complaint!

Colour space is a selectable option in the export dialogue.

can set your preferred file format, colour space & bit depth.

LR export question, or at least confirmation

[David J Brooks]

Most of the time i use LR for adjusting my photos for the web, for viewing.
On occasion i export one i really like for possible future prints.

I opened one up in PSCS2 and i get the pop up screen for colour
profile, and it looks like LR saves in sRGB.

Is this the case.

Its not a big deal as i send in my prints for labs as sRGB.

Just curious, as i don't remember ever setting up colour profiles. I
assume this is default.

I'm getting ready to start sending in prints for the Fair contest.

Re: GESO - 600mm collection

[AlunFoto]

Thanks Jack.
The lens performs very well indeed for this type of shots.
It has the lowest resolution (as in MTF) of any lens I've ever used,
but the contrast and rendering makes portrait shots like these come
out so nicely.

Re: GESO - 600mm collection

[AlunFoto]

That's seaweed. Patching material for the nest. But from looking at
the colony on the boat trip, it seems the gannets are not very choosy
about nest building material. They seem to have a fancy for orange and
blue bits of nylon rope.

I know there's a British lady who's done well for herself
photographing seabirds trapped in manmade debris; plastic bags in
particular. I was looking for that in particular, but couldn't see
anything that would be harmful to the birds unless swallowed...

heh.
What are you trying to make him imagine?
I'd have to become a gym freak for at least 10 years before I'd be
able to wield that thing for more than 10 seconds at a time.

And so would you. :-)

Re: Got curious about announced Pentax Products

[Leon Altoff]

If only.

I've been waiting for this lens since it was announced.  I still need to 
decide between it and the Sigma 100-300 f4, but I couldn't bring myself 
to buy the Sigma without comparing it to this lens.

Soon.  Soon.
