 That'll be dyeline paper, a diazo process.  Ilfochrome / Cibachrome
also
 used azo dyes, which are dyes that whose chemical bonds somehow break
down
 when exposed to strong or UV light, leaving the unexposed part to be
 developed to an autopositive image (same ultimate result as reversal
but a
 different chemical process).  Dyeline paper is developed in ammonia
fumes.
 If you handle any freshly developed dyeline paper you MUST NOT handle
any
 other film or photographic paper until you've thoroughly washed your
hands,
 because ammonia will completely fog them, whether they're exposed or
not.
 
 regards, Anthony

Sorry, not being clear.  There was a Polaroid 35mm film that output
similar images to cyanotpye.  White image on a blue background.  It was
used to produce slides of writing for use in AV presentations.  It was
terrifyingly expensive and, before the days of TTL flash, you had to
sacrifice a film in testing to obtin correct exposure.

I believe there was also Polaroid-branded 35mm roll film.
  
   They developed and marketed a 35mm instant film that didn't do
very well
   in the market. IIRC, it was transparency film available in both
color
   and BW versions.
  
   Later they offered Polaroid brand C-41 process 35mm film, and may
have
   offered an E6 35mm film as well.
  
   I'm sure about the C-41 version because I have a roll in the
freezer;
   not so sure about the E6.
  
  There was also the pre-Powerpoint blueprint film, whose name I
forget.
 All of the
  Polaroid 35mm stuff was self (and dry) process, to give you the
quickest
 result.

No, no... it's the name of a band.

I did something this time which I've never before done at a concert -  
I shot entirely in RAW mode.

Wow.

The things you can do with white balance and color correction are just  
out of this world compared to what your options are with a JPEG file.   
Wow!

Of course, I only got 199 images on a 2-gig card rather than the 5-600  
I would have otherwise gotten.  But, I was otherwise amazed at what I  
could get away with.  In the following photo, most of the light on  
this guy (Adam Levy) was yellow.  YELLOW.  I left a little bit of the  
yellow in because I didn't want the image to look TOO cold, but for  
the most part, just a touch of the neutral dropper in Lightroom made  
this image actually usable.

I was quite pleased.  Gotta get me some more big big cards - I'm going  
to shoot like this more often.

have two anniversaries and at least four birthdays in December in our 
family.


We had a bunch of us celebrating birthdays this month  -  Cesar and I 
being among them .  



On top of that all that, my father passed away quite suddenly and we 
had to take a road trip up to Michigan for the funeral.  It's a two 
thousand mile round trip.
I hadn't posted anything to the list about my father yet.  Our 
relationship wasn't by any means a normal one and I'm OK with his 
passing.  At the risk of sounding morbid and unseemly, if you're going 
to die from lung cancer, getting it all over with in a week is likely 
the preferable way to go about it. 


Understandable and not unseemly  -  a virtual hug is probably not much 
use, but all I can manage without lapsing into

gooiness.


Anyway,
I think I'm getting the messages now and I *might* have some more time 
to read them too.  Unless, of course Carolina looses and the Falcons 
win tomorrow (American Football)... then we might have another 
football game to look forward to at work...


Happy New Year and Good Shooting to everyone!
 
Cory


and to you, Cory, glad you are back!

xo,
ann

Does anyone have advice or pointers for a novice? I'm going to need

Yep. That's what I do with my Pentax 67 with non-meter prism. I use
a DSLR as a light meter. Since I usually shoot slide film in the 67,
the expose to the right histogram technique for setting digital
exposure suits my style well.

It's quicker and infinitely more detailed information than I could
get from any light meter (unless I did lots and lots of readings
with a spot meter, I suppose).

Lightroom Q

2008-12-27 Thread Cory Waters

I am *slowly* learning to use Lightroom and have many questions.
I found a plug-in that would let me export right to a Smugmug gallery.  
So I get through picking the photos, putting them into a quick 
collection, and export them as jpegs.  It's pretty trick, really.  That 
was easy!.  Unfortunately, I forgot the step where I resized the photos 
because they don't need to be so big. 
Today's question:
How does one batch resize photos when some are portrait and some are 
landscape?  The export do-hicky has where you can resize the photos, but 
they're different formats...

If you're using Lightroom's native Export function, just tell it how

Hi Cory:  Sorry to hear about your dad.

1) on a PC (I don't know what it is on a Mac)  you'd hold the ctrl key then 
click the photos you want to resize.

2) File - Export
3) In Resize, choose LONG EDGE--program now knows to size according to the 
long vertical of a portrait and long horizontal of a landscape.  Choose your 
size.

How does one batch resize photos when some are portrait and some are

That's the toughest part. It took me ages to decide. I find if you put 
the contenders all together in a directory on your hard drive and look 
through them every day, eventually the best ones sort of make themselves

   That'll be dyeline paper, a diazo process.  Ilfochrome / Cibachrome
  also
   used azo dyes, which are dyes that whose chemical bonds somehow break
  down
   when exposed to strong or UV light, leaving the unexposed part to be
   developed to an autopositive image (same ultimate result as reversal
  but a
   different chemical process).  Dyeline paper is developed in ammonia
  fumes.
   If you handle any freshly developed dyeline paper you MUST NOT handle
  any
   other film or photographic paper until you've thoroughly washed your
  hands,
   because ammonia will completely fog them, whether they're exposed or
  not.
  
   regards, Anthony
 
  Sorry, not being clear.  There was a Polaroid 35mm film that output
  similar images to cyanotpye.  White image on a blue background.  It was
  used to produce slides of writing for use in AV presentations.  It was
  terrifyingly expensive and, before the days of TTL flash, you had to
  sacrifice a film in testing to obtin correct exposure.

  I believe there was also Polaroid-branded 35mm roll film.

 They developed and marketed a 35mm instant film that didn't do
  very well
 in the market. IIRC, it was transparency film available in both
  color
 and BW versions.

 Later they offered Polaroid brand C-41 process 35mm film, and may
  have
 offered an E6 35mm film as well.

 I'm sure about the C-41 version because I have a roll in the
  freezer;
 not so sure about the E6.
   
There was also the pre-Powerpoint blueprint film, whose name I

   All of the
Polaroid 35mm stuff was self (and dry) process, to give you the
  quickest
   result.

One advantage is that it uses the full resolution of the original, so

The other is it uses the Ken Burns effect, which doesn't get

New Year Photographic Resolutions for 2009

2008-12-27 Thread Christine Aguila

Well, here goes:



1) shoot like crazy and greatly improve exposure skills  knowledge

2) Do K20D focus tests for my 4 lens

3) Read the book *Theater of the Face* by Max Kozloff

4) visit more photographic galleries and exhibits to see real prints

5) Design on paper my dream digital darkroom

6) Learn and practice using photographic jargon; even if it means 
having conversations with myself


   using the terms :-)

7) teach myself portrait lighting-and continue pestering friends, 
family, and colleagues to sit for me--Julia Cameron here I come 
:-)


8) For the sheer exercise, I'm going to put together a portfolio

9) continue to improve my digital print making skills and experiment 
with more paper-roll, fabric etc


10)   figure out this ICC paper profile what-not

11)   solve my diminishing hard drive space problem with external hard 
drives-I'm gonna byte the tera


12)   clean up the mess I've made in my Lightroom management of photos

13)   commit to a processing workflow-I'm extremely inconsistent in my 
workflow


14)   work towards mastery of Lightroom

15)   buy a domain name, get web hosting,  get a small web site going

16)   lose weight



Whatever I don't get to, I'll carry over into 2010.



How about you folks?  Any resolutions?



Cheers, Christine

16.)  isn't a photographic resolution. But I'll go along with that one. ;-)

Oh,  and...

1.) - 10.) Take the camera with me more and shoot  more.

I've done most other previous resolutions I've made. And, in the  end, I've 
found they don't matter anyway unless I actually take  photos.

Re: PESO - The Fence

2008-12-27 Thread Jack Davis
Like the shot, Bruce. While I don't think the light is from car headlights, it 
reminds me of one the tinniest bit.
I would have to try a version with a little more detail in the foreground and, 
perhaps, one with less foreground.
Good DoF.

Jack

Re: Lightroom Q

2008-12-27 Thread David Savage
I use the flickr exporter I'll assume that they are similar.

, and I've setteled on 950pix on the long edge for most of my uploaded
images. So in the size section I have the resize box checked  entered
950 in the W  H boxes.

Cheers,

Dave

P.S. Welcome back.

2008/12/28 Cory Waters cbwat...@bellsouth.net:
 I am *slowly* learning to use Lightroom and have many questions.
 I found a plug-in that would let me export right to a Smugmug gallery.  So I
 get through picking the photos, putting them into a quick collection, and
 export them as jpegs.  It's pretty trick, really.  That was easy!.
  Unfortunately, I forgot the step where I resized the photos because they
 don't need to be so big. Today's question:
 How does one batch resize photos when some are portrait and some are
 landscape?  The export do-hicky has where you can resize the photos, but
 they're different formats...

I keep a file of only my very best. Eliminating all but those from 08 
helped. I then reviewed only those and chose the ones that I submitted.

That's the toughest part. It took me ages to decide. I find if you put the 
contenders all together in a directory on your hard drive and look through 
them every day, eventually the best ones sort of make themselves evident 
somehow.

Very nice Bruce, I'd crop out about half of the foreground grass - its just

Very nice. I like it as seen here. The diagonal of the shadow helps the

I'm thinking something like a 50/3.5 -- Leica, cheap Russian, or

compact two-lens outfit when Panasonic deliver the 20/1.7

More generally, there are an awful lot of good lenses in various
mounts, nearly all adaptable to micro-4/3. How does the M50
work on the Panny? With 12 MpixeIs on a small sensor, does
the lens run out of resolution?

Manual lenses work very well indeed.

I would go for a fast 40-50mm lens, why stick with something almost as  
slow as the zoom it comes with?


The one I have my eye on is the Nokton 40mm f/1.4.

... How does the M50 work on the Panny? With 12 MpixeIs on a small

The M50/1.4 works well. It's not particularly sharp wide open, but at  
f/2 - f/2.8 it is quite nice. You can see it sharpen up when you're in  
MF Assist mode as you stop it down, after focusing.
