I've returned... and GESO
Hi all, I've been away from the list for quite a while as I've been busy with the real world. I'm still busy but thought I might pop back in to see what's going on. I'm still getting used to this whole digital workflow thing. One of these days I'll upgrade Photoshop but that's not in the budget right now ;) Anyway, a friend of mine does a bit of kayaking, among other sports, and he asked if I'd like to take some pics of a local race series. Not for money, just for fun. I'm finding it to be challenging but lots of fun. Especially the bit about not smashing the camera on rocks or drowning ;) Linky: http://www.multisport.net.nz/brass-monkey/ The first gallery was done by someone else, and the second is only enough to show a few pics of the high river when the race was cancelled. The third and fourth are the races I covered. In the bag is the K10D, FA200/2.8, F300/4.5, FA100/2.8 Macro, 43mm limited and FA*24/2.0. I might try the FA400/5.6 next time but it might be a bit long (and is a pain to carry). The 300 is about right for closeups. The only thing I'd change about the K10D is to add an option to let it remember the selected AF point separately for horizontal and vertical orientations (I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that). The races are suitable for paddlers of all levels and it's not a particularly difficult river. I might have to have a go at it myself one of these days.

Bruce, I've been asking myself the same question lately. I currently have an Epson R220, but I do not use it for printing photos. I have previously tried using it to print photos, but out of maybe a dozen or more attempts only one or two have been acceptable. On the other hand, I just spent $150 on prints (16 or 17, some 11x17 and some 8x12). If I could figure out this whole inkjet printing game, the R1900 would be a good deal ($500) to save money in the long run. I'm just a little printer-shy due to my R220 experiences... Mike Gad!

When I 1st bought my K10D, I did upload jpegs to Kodak for prints, but I was never that happy with the quality, but it was a way for me to see my shots in print. 8 x 10s were about $3.99 I did a lot of 4x6 for about 15 cents a piece, but all that started to add up in terms of money, felt I should just save the money to buy a high quality printer so that I'd be happy with my prints have the control. Also, I definetly wanted to do some large size printing. Moreover, my photographic skills were improving my knowledge of the K10D was improving, so it just all kind of completed itself. But I've always known, whatever work you do on the computer, it's not going to shine unless you have a good printer--long before I got into digital photography I held this belief since I've done some low-end graphic/text project work with Microsoft Publisher et al, we had a really great HP printer for that kind of stuff--but I do a lot less of that work now. Bruce, I definitely recommend you start printing your own work. It's so much fun, but I won't kid you, the joy of this part of the photographic process takes money! But photography has always taken money! Gad! I thought figuring out what lenses I needed was research-intensive enough. All of the 3 Epson printers you mention have gotten excellent reviews. That 1900 is supposed to be an excellent BW printer. The 2400 is an excellent workhorse that produces beautiful prints, I had planned to buy it, but I got a better deal on the R2880, and it's new technology--so I went with it. I'm very glad I did. I've been shooting for a little over a year have seen so few of my shots in print, so now I'm in constant oooh, let's see what this shot looks like printed up. I'm going through ink paper like you would not believe. But as my husband said, well, you've got a backlog to print a lot of enthusiam, an explosively expensive situation to be in. :-) Here's the new plan: a careful think-through of what constitutes a shot to be worthy of printing--now that I'm sobering up from printing intoxication. My plan is to do theme driven printing (and shooting, for that matter) become brutal in deciding what shot is worthy of printing. Hopefully, this will keep costs in the safe sober zone make me a better photographer. Is there some rule-of-thumb that suggests whether using a printing shop or going DIY with my own printer is the more appropriate alternative? I don't know of any rule of thumb, but others probably do. Then I have to figure out how to frame the darned things ... :-) I hear ya. And to make matters worse, we have floor-to-ceiling bookcases covering every inch of virtually every wall in our apartment-- we have a huge apartment. I just recently cleared out the closet in my study, moved a bookcase into it, so I could have 1 clear wall to use as a kind of working gallery. I said a lot, hopefully some of it was useful. All-in-all, I say get the printer. I gotta go. I'm late for an appointment. Hope this helps!

Re: Fine Art Printing
There's a big difference between the R220 level printers and the bottom end pro series printers like the R2400, R2880, R3800 model. The latter do the business properly, the former can produce good prints but are nowhere near as easy to get quality results out of IMO. I'm not so familiar with the R1900 model although it looks like a follow-on model to the R1800. These printers are pigment ink printers with smallish ink carts, optimized for color work and glossy papers. They do not use the K3 based ink set and are thus not as useful for BW printing work. The R2400 and R3800 use the same K3 inkset (shared also with the R4800, R7800, etc). These are great on all surfaces, but particularly matte and luster surfaces, they lack the R1800/1900 gloss optimizer in the inkset. However, they have a full set of grays and print BW brilliantly. The R2880 is a follow-on to the R2400 and includes an updated Magenta and Light Magenta pair which supposedly improves on the color rendering, but does not have the gloss optimizer ink so it is more closely related to the R2400/R3800 series in terms of what you can expect from it. It's pretty easy to get better prints than any but a very upscale print service with the R2400/etc. It's just more time consuming because you have to learn how to print yourself ... printing is always takes work and proves an often tedious learning endeavor. However, it's as simple as buy an R2400 and colorimeter, calibrate your monitor, install the drivers and paper profiles, use Lightroom and print in the end. My cost per A3 print with the R2400 amounts to about US $1.40 in ink plus the cost of the sheet paper ($0.85 for Enhanced Matte, $3.60 for Velvet Fine Art). That's a lot cheaper than any print service I've found for an exhibition quality print. The capital cost of the printer (US $650) has been paid back in savings about four times over in the almost-three years I've been using it. And it's still going strong.

Re: Fine Art Printing
Bruce - A few weeks ago I wrote about my old Canon printer biting the dust. I replaced it with a Canon Pro9500. I'm just posting this to give you another alternative. Unlike the most other Canon printers, the 9500 is pigment based. It also has three blacks for better black and white. For color, it has an added Red and Green ink to help expand the gamut. I've run test prints on the Illford Smooth Pearl and Smooth gloss using the Illford printer drivers. I'm getting excellent results after playing around a bit. Now, just to cover all the bases, I'm going to run some tests with the Canon and a few other select papers just to see if there are additional improvements to be had. With my old printer, BW usually had a very slight some color cast. I tinted most everything to cover it up. The BWs with the 9500 are very good, but it's exposing the fact that I need to improve my BW printing skills a lot. On the color side, the difference in detail and color gamut is significant. I've started printing everything in adobe RGB as a default and will experiment with the ProPhoto color space. As far as your decision is concerned - unless you are extremely lucky to have a great commercial printer at your disposal, you'll probably do a better job yourself if you have the time. I'm not saying you should go out and buy Canon printer instead of an Epson. That's a personal decision. I'm just throwing out a few random thoughts that might help you zero in on what's important to you.

Great photos! I really like the dark car here with the yellow pinstriping.
It's very dramatic.
I liked the coupe as well.
It reminds me that the kid next door had a '32(?) model A coupe with a V6.
It was complete with a rumble seat. We were both highschool juniors or seniors.
It was great fun.

One of these days I'll upgrade Photoshop but that's not in the budget right now ;) Anyway, a friend of mine does a bit of kayaking, among other sports, and he asked if I'd like to take some pics of a local race series. Not for money, just for fun. I'm finding it to be challenging but lots of fun. Especially the bit about not smashing the camera on rocks or drowning ;) Linky: http://www.multisport.net.nz/brass-monkey/ The first gallery was done by someone else, and the second is only enough to show a few pics of the high river when the race was cancelled. The third and fourth are the races I covered. In the bag is the K10D, FA200/2.8, F300/4.5, FA100/2.8 Macro, 43mm limited and FA*24/2.0. I might try the FA400/5.6 next time but it might be a bit long (and is a pain to carry). The 300 is about right for closeups. The only thing I'd change about the K10D is to add an option to let it remember the selected AF point separately for horizontal and vertical orientations (I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that). The races are suitable for paddlers of all levels and it's not a particularly difficult river. I might have to have a go at it myself one of these days.

I printed an 18x12 of this shot and two others. I'm going to frame them right after I get off the computer and, along with six leftovers from last year, they're going up in a downtown Birmingham gallery for the cruise. We're all looking forward to the weekend, the forecast calls for perfect weather, 50,000 cars and a million-plus spectators. The cruise is a holiday here. In importance it falls somewhere between Christmas and the Fourth of July. Paul On Aug 13, 2008, at 12:10 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: Hey, Paul, that's yummy! Fantastic shot.

Re: PESO: Tudor Sedan
Hi Bob,
The 1931 model year saw the last Ford Model A, so your friend's car
was probably of that vintage. The Model B, which premiered in '32,
was more rounded and was powered by the flathead V8. It was an
instant success both for its styling and power.

Paul,
Great photos! I really like the dark car here with the yellow
pinstriping.
It's very dramatic.
I liked the coupe as well.
It reminds me that the kid next door had a '32(?) model A coupe
with a V6.
It was complete with a rumble seat. We were both highschool
juniors or seniors.
It was great fun.
Regards, Bob S.

As a follow up to the three-window coupe. allow me to offer a Tudor
Sedan. This is a model A Ford, I believe. Late twenties or early
thirties. Some minor modifications by the owner who appears to have a
knack with things mechanical.
