OT - Google Chrome Browser

[Brian Walters]

Hi all

If you're running Windows XP or Vista, you might be interested in this
new web browser from Google (note that it's a beta).

http://www.google.com/chrome


I'm a sucker for this sort of thing so I'm having a play with it.  I'm
not sure if it's any better than what's already available but it looks
interesting enough.



Cheers

Brian

Re: B&W help with digital -

[Brian Walters]

This web site has a couple of good methods:

http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/color-black-white.htm


I generally use the "Hue-Saturation Adjustment Layer Method" but the
"Channel Mixer" method produces good results as does the BW-Plus plug-in
that Peter mentioned.

They all give slightly different renderings so it's worth trying them
all.



Cheers

Brian

RE: B&W help with digital -

[J. C. O'Connell]

In photoshop you can also just adjust the color balance before doing the
desaturation
to simulate traditional B&W colored filters for B&W film to modify tonal
range of the
final BW conversion.

OT Rant: County Fair and the Digital Ghetto

[Matthew Hunt]

So last weekend, the wife and I went to the local county fair, for the
first time since moving back here.  If I point you to my meager
gallery, can I get away with a rant?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/coneslayer/sets/72157607060568138/

Anyway, we learned that if you submit something for competition, you
get in free.  It occurred to me that paying $8 to enter the
photography contest and get in free is at least as good as paying $8
at the gate just to get in.  And I just might beat the people who have
the date burned in red digits on their pictures, not to mention the
folks who entered color photographs in the B&W categories (true!).

So I look up the entry guidelines, which are here:

http://cambriacofair.com/19___arts__crafts__photos

I call your attention to the "Digital Manipulation" categories.  Taken
literally, it seems impossible to shoot digital without ending up in
the "Digital Manipulation" categories, especially if you shoot raw.
For example:

"26.  Single or Multiple Images - The creation of an improved image
through the use of computer tools"

Well, debayering a raw file certainly improves it.  So does using
"computer tools" to choose a suitable 8x10 cropping, as required by
the rules.  I've even been known to improve an image by picking black
and white points with my "computer tools".  But even worse:

"28.  Tonal/Colorization - Black & White, Sepia, or Color saturation
of a digital photograph to increase visual dynamics to the viewer."

I take this to mean that any digital B&W conversion lands you in the
"Digital Manipulation" ghetto, instead of, say, "B&W Portrait".

Maybe we'll just enter the Trail Mix competition... that one's only $3.50.

If you made it this far, here's a bonus gallery with better shots:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/coneslayer/sets/72157607029365140/
No rant for this festival, except for the $8 chicken-on-a-stick.

A question -

What procedure is ideal to get best possible B&W print from color raw or JPEG ?

I have photoshop element 5.0 and epson 2200.  

Thank you in advance.

The local zoo gets hundreds of hours of my time each year, and, lately, most

Re: Willy

Thanks Frank. 

Grace is reassured by the knowledge that Willy is now keeping great, great 
grandma company. She attended my mom's funeral and wake and understands that at 
some point, people, and dogs, go to sleep for the last time. I'm sure she will 
miss him, but she is well prepred to deal with it.

They don't tend to have the dramatic skies like Out West, but your
photos and the times on them remind me of what my father used to say
of the weather in Nova Scotia (Canada):  If you don't like the
weather, wait fifteen minutes!

;-)

Oh well, I always thought that was funny...

Anyway, I like your photos.  Those are certainly dramatic, and you
captured them well.

Cool shots.  My only niggle is your shadow on the first one.  It's a
sin that I'm all-too-often guilty of (including my own reflections in
glass or highly polished metal or whatever), but it's still a
distraction (in others' photos, anyway).

Other than that, I like the mini-gallery!

Paul, losing a family member is one of the hardest things we must
bear.  Willy was as much a part of your family as any human.

My partner Judy and I both send our condolences and our thoughts to
you, your family and Willy.

How's Grace taking this?  It must be tough on her.  Our thoughts
especially go to her...

regards,
frank and Judy

PESO - improved park

[George Sinos]

There has been a nice little park and walking trail near my home for
over twenty-five years.  Recently, due to street construction, it was
improved.  It turned out it drained into a wetland and could no longer
be mowed as it was in the past.  It's now planted with wildflowers and
actually looks fairly nice.  Here are a just a few shots I took on a
little walk through the park and the nearby neighborhood.

If the files are kept around 200Kbyte then it wouldn't take too much 
space I think. But if needed I can host (at clancode.hu) the space for 
the pictures and PDML could link them from there.

I really like this in IR.  Sort of surreal looking!

Very well composed and well-caught!

sounds good :-D will it be stored at pdml.net?  that could cost a

guess I'll have to figure out how to take a picture of myself.

any tips?

Frank,
Tell her it's very nice the way the blue frames the subject.
I'd like to see down to the bottom of the drumstick cooler,
and maybe the curve of the counter top too.
Otherwise, a fine 'still life'.

PESO - Three Votes for Ice Cream

[frank theriault]

Another of my girlfriend's Pentax photos (with my Pentax, of course!)  ;-)

I'm going to post this in the context of her daily photoblog.  Each
day she posts a captioned photo and adds a pithy quote by someone
famous (or not so famous, but at least it's pithy).

I think it's a fabulous format, something I've not seen on other photoblogs.

You really should click on the photo to enlarge it to get it's full
effect.  Hanging around with me has obviously had it's effects:  it's
soft and tilted (but I think it's really cool)...

Cotty, I think you really excel in anything related to imagery, moving, 
still or otherwise. But you ought to stay on the list, you know.

You still owe us a visit, you know ;-).

Willy

[Paul Stenquist]

I sometimes called him "Wilbur." With his droopy eyes and long face,  
he looked like a Wilbur. Marlene, who nursed him through puppydom,   
called him "Wee." My mom -- great, great grandma -- who came to know  
him as both she and he were living their last days,  called him "Old  
Sock," And he dutifully sat by her side as she ate, knowing that she  
would share her meals with him, no matter how hard we tried to  
persuade her otherwise. When he had the opportunity, he would sneak  
into her room and lay at her feet. He loved us all very much, but his  
last and most obvious  love was Grace. He didn't like it when someone  
tried to move him by tugging on his collar, but he let Grace move him  
by tugging on his hair. He followed her as she played and smiled  
contentedly as she rode him, sat on him, and slept on him.

Several months ago, he became ill. He soldiered on, and we did what  
we could to comfort him. But this weekend his burden grew too large  
for even this big-hearted dog to bear, and this morning he went to  
sleep for the last time. Willy was a good dog, and a good dog is one  
of the best things that one can be.

Glad to hear you'll still be around (sort of), and hopefully if I get

I forgot i tried a few shots at the thrashing day with the converted G3.

G3, LR 2 exposure nudge and played with the blacks and darks.

Cropped a bit of crap off the RHS.

Re: Peso Millard Street Pond

[David J Brooks]

I bought a converted Canon G3 at the beginning of June. It came with a
preset WB which works ok, but i set the camera to shoot B&W and in the
live view i can see exactly how the shot will look in IR, the whites,
darks etc.

I shoot it in Av mode at F8 with +0.5 EV. Then a gentle nudge in LR
and its done.

RE: Peso Millard Street Pond

[Bob W]

what's a G3? 

I discovered a use for live view this weekend that I haven't heard
mentioned before. If your camera can show the histogram on the live
view screen, then as you alter the exposure manually or using AE, the
histogram also moves, so you have a better idea of where your exposure
is going before you take the picture. I think that's pretty cool.

Don't know if said combination rises to the level of "artsy", however. If 
it does it for you, what else really matters.

Re: Peso Millard Street Pond

Thanks Bob.

It really makes a big difference in having the live view of the G3
showing you what the shot will  look like.
Helps in placing shadows and such.

Re: Peso Millard Street Pond

[David J Brooks]

Thanks Frank.

I had to really hunt for that shot, alot of trees on the bank, and no
real place to get past them with out ending up in the pond.

The G3 makes this a bit easier to handle, so it has to take some of
the credit.:-0

Re: Peso Millard Street Pond

Dave,
Those IR shots are really eye catching.
The change from dark green to a light color changes the composition a lot.
Very nice work and anticipation of what you had.

I think that lens and the 21mm limited pancake and I'd have everything I need.

Okay, the fisheye zoom, I'd like that too.

And one more dslr body (preferably another *istD for consistency, but

UGh! did I mention I was drowsy and nursing a cold?  what the hell did I 
say there?   Dave will understand. :)

self translation -- seems to me there is no reason for not shooting 
things like this that way they lose nothing
from the appearance of graininess and often make it look nicer... I'm 
really not into super sharp unless it is
necessary for scientific reasons or truly enhances whatever

Jack, thanks for looking & commenting.

I was seeking a more artsey, less documentary image and was
wondering what
others thought of the softness @ 3200 ISO.

FWIW, I like it.

Certainly not your usual fare, but it's a different and interesting

Re: PESO - "Extreme Crane"

[ann sanfedele]

To Ken -
I like the crane a lot although  I'd take down the brightness a bit... 
and even though
the 3 tiny white specks may actually be there, I'd take them out... they 
look like dust even if not...
I take out specks that size in stuff I do even if they were "really there" .

I've been shooting a lot with my darkside camera at 1600... wish I could 
go to 3200.
seems to me there is no reason for shots like this lose nothing from the 
graininess of
the settings you are using...

to Dave
I'm guess it would , too :-)

to Jack -- I like the graininess vis a vis the bokeh..

Absolutely not.  Where did you get that crazy idea?  From the Kernerman
