GESO Liu shoot
Hi Everyone: 1) For this homework assignment, I tried my hand at playing a PJ/environmental portrait shooter. My colleague Liu was kind enough to play the subject--a famous artisan knitter :-). 2) This was all done with window light only. I shot 106 shots, got the 1st cut down to 28, then picked these 8 for the gallery. Liu's niece, May, was with us, and for #2 she held a reflector photo left. The window light was coming from photo right. 3) We finished in the kitchen then Lui started showing May how to knit; I grabbed the camera and started shooting, but the 2 of them were standing in a darker part of the kitchen I had to bump up the ISO to get it. What was amazing was how totally relaxed I became when shooting these spontaneous shots. When working in the living room for the more posed shots, I was so nervous and tense. The switch in feeling is so striking. Hopefully, the more I do this I'll learn to relax. http://faculty.ccc.edu/caguila/liushoot/index.html Comments welcome.

Re: GESO Liu shoot
They all look good to me. No. 2 being my fave. Did you get any equipment shots, say of a ball wool needles etc. I personally like to get a a couple of non people shots to throw into the mix.

RE: PESO #013 - Under the olive trees
Another good one. Nice and fresh. Lovely olive trees. I've just read Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources for the first time, so now whenever I see an olive tree I think of Galinette. Get those DVDs out please. You'll be whistling the tune for months. Already bought them. Read Jean de F then watched the film, watched Manon then watched the film. Books and films both great, but the books are even better than the films. The character of Ugolin, for example, is very much more developed in the books and he's a very sympathetic but pathetic character. And the quality of the writing is superb, although I had to run to my dictionary quite often for some of the obscure Provencal / Catalan and agriculture vocabulary. Killer fact: The actors who played Ugolin and Manon were partners for 10 years and married for 2.

Re: GESO Liu shoot
Hi Christine, The unposed ones (#5, #6, #7) are the best--the can tell the story by themselves. I would have taken the unposed photos first before finally posing her; in fact, I would not 'pose' her at all in the 'formal' sense. By starting off with the unposed photos, you get your friend used to you with a camera in your face. Throughout that process you would probably be conversing with her--that is important--because when you finally pose her 'formally', you still continue that conversation. By now she is talking back to you and she is used to not seeing your face but a camera and is impervious to the shutter clicking; the job of the photographer is to wait for expressions to come/go/change and fire away in those moments. The lighting is perfect. The only thing I would be looking for is what Dave mentioned; perhaps a close up of the yarn and needles(?) with a shallow DOF with your friend(s) blurred in the background...or something like that.

I enjoyed the picture, and think it was original and interesting and showed (as far as I can know) the young man's character well. I've been rather surprised at people's comments about it - I expected it to be universally praised. I always think of 'character study' and 'portrait' as synonymous. To me the whole point of a portrait is to reveal something of the person's character to the viewer. Otherwise it's just a mug shot, or a study in texture or form.

Re: Safe to short hotshoe pins of 540FGZ?
Bruce Walker wrote: I just picked up a little Opus umbrella swivel mount gadget. It has a hot shoe (I suppose a cold shoe really as it's not wired) on one end of it. Curiously though, it's entirely made of metal and if I attach my 540FGZ to it it will short all of the flash's pins together. I'd be inclined to insulate it with some electrical tape and possibly some thin plastic just for good measure, but here's my question: am I being unnecessarily paranoid? Is it perfectly safe to short all the flash hotshoe pins together? Well, as it turns out, once I examined this shoe more closely and tried fitting the flash to it, I discovered that the metal bottom of the shoe *just* clears the tips of the flash's hot pins by a hair -- ie: there's a tiny air gap in there. So I'm probably OK just leaving it alone. But I think I'll stick a small square of black tape there anyway just in case I'm attaching the flash while it's powered-up 'cause it's bound to touch the pins and that may set the flash off.

I like the grass, did't miss the tops of the trees - but I feel they could have more detail to them, they should contrast with the grass but still offer more shadow detail than they do now. It's not their dark shade, it's the softness that bothers me. I'd rather your rendering to Paul's. At the risk of getting another cartload of the matter, don't know you'd have enough DOF.

In this time lag, you could just take another shot or two.

Re: GESO Liu shoot
Very, very interesting, Christine. Like in particular #5 and #7. On #6, I'd try more DOF, or change the focus to May's eyes. On #8 I'd lose more of the bright area above her hair, maybe even cropping a small part of her hair. Being at ease plays both ways - your subjects aren't going to be if you're not. I usually carried a secondary camera with negative film to start with even if the assignment demanded slide. That allowed me to start shooting before the real photos, so we all got used to each other's reactions. LF Christine Aguila escreveu: Hi Everyone: 1) For this homework assignment, I tried my hand at playing a PJ/environmental portrait shooter. My colleague Liu was kind enough to play the subject--a famous artisan knitter :-). 2) This was all done with window light only. I shot 106 shots, got the 1st cut down to 28, then picked these 8 for the gallery. Liu's niece, May, was with us, and for #2 she held a reflector photo left. The window light was coming from photo right. 3) We finished in the kitchen then Lui started showing May how to knit; I grabbed the camera and started shooting, but the 2 of them were standing in a darker part of the kitchen I had to bump up the ISO to get it. What was amazing was how totally relaxed I became when shooting these spontaneous shots. When working in the living room for the more posed shots, I was so nervous and tense. The switch in feeling is so striking. Hopefully, the more I do this I'll learn to relax. http://faculty.ccc.edu/caguila/liushoot/index.html Comments welcome.

Re: af160fc first pics
I guess that must be one of the spiders. I'm uploading more images and the current last one is of a dog. Our dog is very black and very difficult to capture. A ringlight works wonders and the af160fc has enough power for fill in flash. Toine 2009/4/10 David J Brooks pentko...@gmail.com: Looks like that flash works. Nice set of images. I passed on the last one.:-) Dave On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Toine to...@repiuk.nl wrote: Sold some stuff which created an opportunity for a new purchase, an af160fc ringflash http://www.repiuk.nl/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=64Itemid=83 All shot with one side 100% and the other at 50%.

Re: Re: Using a PC as monitor for K20D
Jens, Pentax did update the adequate software for use with K10D/K20D. You may want to check at home before? Here's the link for win: http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/digital/remoteassistant_k10d_win.html And for Mac: http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/digital/remoteassistant_k10d_mac.html For ist-D you need the earlier v2 version. For K10D, you need firmware 1.20. K20D is factory OK. Best regards, -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

Re: PESO - What a pair
Hi Luiz, I thought it was funny that the cafe had to go to the trouble of labeling which was salt which was pepper. Thanks for looking.

They are too neat to the kind of pic I imagined when saw the shakers - the shakers and the tray dusted with salt and pepper, some careless feeling including their position not too aligned, fully dark background... don't know if they wouldn't toss me out for messing with the table. :-) Interesting view - there are lots of photo ops we just don't notice.

Thanks. Boris Another good one. Nice and fresh. Lovely olive trees. I've just read Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources for the first time, so now whenever I see an olive tree I think of Galinette.

Re: GESO Liu shoot
Christine, I like 5,6,7,8 as a series. If I will order it, I probably will order them 5,6,8,7. Very nice set. Thank you for sharing. -Pasvorn On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 11:01 PM, Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net wrote: Hi Everyone: 1) For this homework assignment, I tried my hand at playing a PJ/environmental portrait shooter. My colleague Liu was kind enough to play the subject--a famous artisan knitter :-). 2) This was all done with window light only. I shot 106 shots, got the 1st cut down to 28, then picked these 8 for the gallery. Liu's niece, May, was with us, and for #2 she held a reflector photo left. The window light was coming from photo right. 3) We finished in the kitchen then Lui started showing May how to knit; I grabbed the camera and started shooting, but the 2 of them were standing in a darker part of the kitchen I had to bump up the ISO to get it. What was amazing was how totally relaxed I became when shooting these spontaneous shots. When working in the living room for the more posed shots, I was so nervous and tense. The switch in feeling is so striking. Hopefully, the more I do this I'll learn to relax. http://faculty.ccc.edu/caguila/liushoot/index.html Comments welcome.

PESO - The Last Day
Hi All, A couple of weeks ago my wife had a surgery. We got this tulips from a friend. After a week, while I am having morning coffee, I noticed that they looked different. I actually like the look of them better than when they were fresh. As it turned out, we wife threw them out that evening. Hence, its name The Last Day. I even attempt to write a poem too. LOL. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbhome/3422346001/ Enjoy, thanks in advance for looking, comments, and critiques. -Pasvorn -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
