Re: PESO: Near the Reichstag

[Brian Walters]

Hi Rick

That's really a very effective composition and nicely executed.

The curve of the canal, the boat, the reflection in the glass wall of
the building and the man looking at the crosses all combine to give the
scene perfect balance and some poignancy.

Excellent use of a fisheye!



Cheers

Brian

I think I prefer the uncropped version. Yes, the equipment in the front 
sort of gets in the way, but I prefer looking at it to the feeling that 
something is missing, which I get from the cropped variant.

And it's a rather good shot either way...

Good use of the fisheye again Rick.

I like the angle it was shot at, and the load person does add

PESO - Bonding in public

[Tim Øsleby]

http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=244518
This is a local band of long time friends.
Please have a look at the picture, before reading the text below.



The music is simple, very simple. But they do make a hell of a act. I
think the key factor of the sucsess is their old friendship. Thats
what makes the music, and thats what makes their show. And thats the
story behind this picture.

So. Crew:
Does the picture tell this story? Or are the story just inside my
freaked out old head?

This thread has been dead for a while, but it sure is worth awakening again.

This is a  of a shot Godders. You have every reason to be proud of it.
Beautiful rendering, with 100% fokus at the subjects, and a soothing
background.
Foreground, middleground and background has the same rhythm. Excelent!!!

It could sell a bunch load if you finds the right audience for it.

Re: Newbie - Quest about batteries

[Brian Walters]

Hi Bong

I don't know about the Minolta SRT101 specifically but I have several
old cameras that were originally designed to use the 625 Mercury
battery.  I've found that the 1.5 volt silver oxide 625 cells work OK. 
The higher voltage may affect the metering but not sufficient to cause
problems with print film (slide film might be more sensitive but it
should be possible to apply some exposure compensation).

Wein cells are zinc-air batteries that start to discharge once the
protective tab is removed from the base of the cell.  Standard hearing
aid batteries are also zinc-air and work well.  They are also much
cheaper than Wein cells.  The 675 hearing aid batteries come in packs of
four for much the same price as a single Wein cell.  They are smaller in
diameter than the 625 but a bit of padding around the cell keeps them in
place.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the Wein cells.




Cheers

Brian

Re: PESO (Boris) Weeks 20 through 30

[Tim Øsleby]

I think 20 - 30 is a mixed bag.

I like 23, thats clever seen and executed.

20, 21 and 22 does not speak to me,

Neither does 25 and 26, mainly because I don't find the motifs
interesting. Maybe, that's me. I don't know. But I do think you needs
to explore them deeper to make them interesting.

27 aint very original, but I do like it.

I can't make up my mind about 28. It is pretty, but I wish the water
had a more soothing effect.

29 is another clever one. Well done.

I like 30 because of the colours. The pattern in the tiles, and the
texture in the background adds more interest.

This gives a total score of 50'% keepers, that ain't bad :-)

Re: PESO - The Grand

[Paul Stenquist]

I much prefer the uncropped version. If anything, I might have  
cropped down from the top a bit. or framed lower initially. I  
expected to see the top of frame cropped in your second version..
That being said, you captured a moment and rendered it well.

It's a nice photo of a couple of men who clearly get along.

The fact that I can see some audience members smiling as well helps  
the image.

If I could change anything (and I can't!) it would be to get more  
separation between the man on the left's mouth and the trees behind  
him - but I don't think there is any post-processing which could help  
that without wrecking the photo.

The "story" as you describe it seems to be well-told with this photo.

Tim,

I like the photo, and it clearly conveys the story.  I'm not so keen on the 
rendition, though.  If this had been shot on film, I would say that your camera 
had a light leak on the right side of the frame.  The whole thing could use 
more contrast.

Re: PESO: Near the Reichstag

[Bob Sullivan]

Rick,
I really like this shot.  It is much better than the previous one.
You have encompassed the whole scene with this shot.
You see the building, the crosses, the river and the boat.
The person gives it scale, and the fish-eye lens adds a bit to the
modern architecture.
(I love how the wall on the left bends in over the scene.)
Excellent shot!

Re: PESO - Bonding in public

[Tim Øsleby]

Thanks Rick. This is valueable input.

The rendering could have been better, I agree on that.

The problem is a result of a high contrast situation. The two men in
shadow, and the crowd in the background in direct sun. Parts of the
crowd are totally blown out. And I need a hint of the smiling faces in
the crowd to make the picture work.
So the rendering is basically an attempt to lower the contrast,
without loosing to much details in the important parts. Your comment
suggests I failed.

I'll see if I'm able to get more out of the frame.

Re: Newbie - Quest about batteries

[Bob Sullivan]

I can second Brian's recommendation.
Don't bother with the Wein cells.
They are dead as soon as you put the camera down.
(Well not exactly, but don't wait to finish the roll.
And don't expect it to work next month.)
Get one of the newer variants.

Re: Newbie - Quest about batteries

[P. J. Alling]

You might want to lo look for an MR-9 adapter.  I think the SRT-101 is 
fairly voltage sensitive.  The adapters are kind of pricey but they're a 
lot cheaper than having your camera re-calibrated for a higher voltage 
if it can be done at all.  I don't know if these people will do overseas 
orders but at least you know what it looks like from this.

Hi, John.

I currently have an Energizer E387S in my SP500.  It's a perfect fit (it 
even has the little plastic ring already on it).  Since most of the 
Spotmatics have a bridge circuit, voltage differences won't matter. 
This is not true for the F, Electro, ES or ESII.  I get my batteries 
from http://www.swatchbattery.com/ since I can rarely find them locally.

Take a look at http://photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/batteries.html

I'll also second the recommendation to join the Yahoo Spotmatic group. 
As soon as you're in, you'll get a series of email messages with several 
documents attached.  One of them will be the battery list.  Alternately, 
their files are available at their Yahoo site.  If you'd like, I can 
email the battery list to you directly.  Just let me know.

Agreed.  The Wein cell is not necessary for a camera with a bridge 
circuit, like the Spotmatic.  The only way I'd ever mess with those 
things is if I had a camera wouldn't work properly without one.

Wow! Those are expensive!
Besides the physical spacer, all that's in them is a single Schottky 
barrier diode (which gives a 0.2 Volt drop when forward biased - just 
what you need). I'd just get a Schottky diode from an electronics 
supplier for a dollar or so and solder it in line with the power lead to 
the battery (you only have to remove the camera's base plate, IIRC). But 
even having a technician solder it in shouldn't be too expensive.

I've had an MR-9 adapter in one of my Spotmatic F bodies for about 5 years.
Works fine.

Paul, I've picked two shots (6848P & 6870P).  I feel 6848 shows a well

Re: GESO: Kimberly Choices

[Joseph McAllister]

Choose from 6724, 6867, 6870, 6961, 6969, and 6981.

In the others she is either not engaged to the camera, has poor legs,  
or is in an awkward position, uncomfortable to look at.

If your background is blurred, I would seriously doubt any stitching
software would be able to line up each photo correctly.  The programs
I've used rely on sharp detail and contrast in order to line things up,
and I was never able to get them to stitch images well that had too much
blur to them.  I'd say bite the bullet and do it by hand.

Good luck!

Yeah, like that.  I'm not sure mine is going to work out so well, 
though.  The background is a lot closer, a lot more complex, and pretty 
blurred.  That's why I asked ... I figure that blurry background is 
going to put a wrench in the works for the auto-stitching software. :-)

I guess what I meant was that in regular panoramas, the photographer is 
typically trying to make it look like it was one huge exposure in one 
instant.  In the case of the one you showed of the airplane, and the one 
I'm thinking of trying, the movement of time through the exposures is a 
critical part of the composition, rather than being an impediment.

That's pretty much what I both expected and feared.  In the race photos, 
the background is pretty close, so it's heavily blurred.  The only 
things in the frame that approach sharpness are the cars that are the 
subject of the shot, and the overlap doesn't include the cars.  So it 
sounds like I can expect the automated stitchers to have trouble setting 
up the registration automatically.

Personally, I like the newer one ('249) better.  The overall emptiness 
of the space contrasted with the handful of people in the deep 
background and the person in the foreground give scale to the space and 
the building.  The emptiness of the space and the looming mass of the 
building work in contrast to the diminutive scale of the crosses and 
people.  A sad, somewhat forlorn or contemplative mood, which seems 
appropriate for that place.

Most of that stuff is there in the earlier photo ('895), but in much 
smaller doses.

RE: Newbie - Quest about batteries

[Brian Walters]

According to info on the Spotmatic Group, the Spotmatic F works fine
with a standard 1.5 Volt cell.  Certainly mine gives reliable results
without any special adapters (although I've never used it with slide
film).

There are (or used to be) instructions on the net for modifying a dead
625 cell with a Schottky diode so that you can fit a (smaller diameter)
675 cell inside the 625 casing.  I did this once, using a kit I bought
on EBay.  It worked, much to my surprise! However, doing the
modification to the 625 cell was at the limit of my ham fisted ability,
so I've never bothered again.

Re: this is exquisite work

[Gonz]

I was able to see it, but the web site design is very strange and
quirky.  Very nice and touching pics though.  Although I got tired of
the one point of focus and everything else out of focus look, which
appeared to be a blend of real lens effects and photoshop.

Hi Paul,

My thoughts:

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7401211

and 

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7438088

To my taste, she comes across as harsh, which Ken interpreted as having a
hard time smiling. I tried to pick two that showed some warmth, or at least
mirth in her eyes. Again, just my taste, but I think softer lighting might
have toned down some of the 'tough broad' look that I think she exudes.

Just my thoughts, I hope this works out for both of you...

Nice candid expressions on your dancers, Frank.  Crop is a little tight, but 
overall, nice one.  Cheers, Christine

Re: GESO: Kimberly

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks Bill. Your first pick is the consensus favorite. I like your  
second pick as well, but the pose is a bit unnatural.

The tough, no-smile look is what sells these days. Look at Vogue or  
one of the fashion supplements to the NY Times. But that aside,  
smiles just don't work for Kimberly. When she smiles with her mouth  
closed, those dimples at the edge of her mouth become extreme.  
(They're greatly softened here as it is.) When she smiles with her  
mouth open, her face appears to be far too long.

Good to hear from you, Mr. Sawyer.

thanks for the Kimberly feedback

[Paul Stenquist]

Many thanks to all who have responded or who might still respond.  
It's been very helpful. 6780 is far and away the favorite, with a  
number of others closely matched for second place. I had already made  
a big print of 6780 for my book, and I suspect Kimberly will want one  
as well.
Paul

M28/2.8 vs. A28/2.8

[Scott Loveless]

Hello again, Margaret.

Would anyone be able to comment on the M28/2.8 AND the A28/2.8. 
Preferences?  I'm mostly interested in optics and ergonomics.  The 'A' 
setting is not important to me at this point.

Thanks!

RE: M28/2.8 vs. A28/2.8

[Anthony Farr]

I'm not Margaret, however

Optically, these lenses will be the same formula.  The M lens will be better
built.  The A lens will have better coatings therefore better flare
resistance.

The A lens will integrate with all exposure modes (except MTF aware modes as
it has no chip).

Regards,
Anthony Farr

Me neither.

Sorry Anthony, but NO. They are very different lenses (both formula and 
performance have very little to share).

Recalling a 10-years old comparison, the M lens wins very easy when 
considering 3D effect, while the A lens outperforms its counterpart about 
center-to-edge performance (resolution/sharpness).
Hence:
1 - Choose the M for shooting real-life subjects in their environment 
(they'll pop out from the background) without worrying too much about 
resolution at edges.
2 - Select the A lens for shooting targets, repro work, architecture, 
graffiti, and the like.

> The M lens will be better built.

Never noticed a difference worth considering.

> The A lens will have better coatings therefore better flare resistance.

That's possible, but I can neither confirm nor deny.
