RE: My Recent Travails

2009-12-02 Thread John Coyle
My sympathy Walt, I was tested for suspected angina the beginning of this
year, but I did not have to have the by-pass fortunately - no blockages
found.  Since then I've had one knee very sore for a month, then I tripped
and tore ligaments in the other leg!  Getting old really sucks
Hope you continue to progress well - I'm looking forward to finally being
able to take some serious exercise again before the end of the year.

Subject: OT: My Recent Travails

The last three weeks have been maybe the most miserable of my 67
years, I had a suspected heart attack the 13th and after two days in
the hospital it was discovered that I had severe blockage in three
arteries at the heart. By-Pass was performed and the mending process
begun. I was sent home on the 23rd only to have to return two days
later with a bladder infection. Another two days stay and return home
only to return to the hospital with severe fluid retention. Finally
home and feeling much better two days ago. Still have to sort out the
bladder/prostrate problem with the urologist but I am feeling much
better.
Growing old is not for the faint of heart!!!  So far the good thing is
that I have lost 20 pounds and hope to lose another 30 before it is
over!

Cheers to all.

Expresso diluted with hot water. Strength varies with how many "shots"

Thanks.  I was experimenting with the black light and a flash with a

compact fluorescent black lights and some day-glo 1" webbing from  
REI.  Having a decent black backdrop helps. I'm looking forward to  
future experimentation, especially since I ordered a $25 green laser  
off the net last weekend and it should show up very soon.

I'll set aside my rant about how to my knowledge no child has ever

So, I've gone through and changed all the ones in the set including  
this one that don't show naked boobs to "safe".


At some point, I'll need to come up with an alternate plan for showing

Burn out photographically, or burn out in some other area? I certainly 
understand the photo burn out, and I'm close enough to the black dog 
that I can feel his dank breath most of the time. Get out there and look 
for the photos you want to take, but if they don't appear, be ready for 
the photos you can take.

I sold a USB ZIP drive and a stack of disks for $5 at last summer's
yard sale.  I think there's at least one internal ZIP drive lurking in
the basement if anyone wants it.  Cover shipping or send me your
unloved B&W film (35mm or 120/220).

I *might* have one of those lying around somewhere, too; if anybody

I don't think mine was the external (parallel port) one, though.

I took a fall several years ago. End of a long day, light fading, me rushing to 
a different vantage point on a Mayan ruin. Slipped on a loose stone. My istD w/ 
31mm LTD took the brunt of the fall. A quick inspection showed that it seemed

Re: PESO - Americano at Mercury

I like it - but, what's a 'single-shot Americano?'

(sounds a bit like the aftermath of a shoot-out in and old western
movie...)

My best friend bought me this for my birthday in October:
http://www.amazon.com/Tamrac-3385-Access-Laptop-Backpack/dp/B001L5U16G



does it have a good hip support? can't tell from anything i see or read
on the amazon page ...


Nope, there are no hip straps or anything.  I prefer my backpacks this way, 
as I never use hip straps and they end up just getting in the way.

I really like the second one.

In the third one, the reflection looks a bit too perfect - I think it
would have been stunning if the foreground water had produced a bit of
blurring.

Flickr must have tagged it as 'moderate' or 'restricted' and everyone

Best wishes from downunder, Walt.

I guess the bright side of this is that they found the blockage early. 
I know a couple of people who have had by-pass surgery and it has made a
world of difference to their lifestyle.  

Hope the recuperation is quick and you're out photographing again soon.

See my reply to Marnie above...

To be fair, though, when you see these sculptures for real, the whole
thing looks so right.  Putting them out on a salt lake in the middle of
nowhere requires a certain degree of lateral thought, but somehow it
really works.

That's a mighty fine photograph.
Simple and complicated. The light, the composition and the isolated person.

I had to scroll to see all of it in full resolution. While doing that,
it struck me that cropping away the lower part, to ca 5 x 4 probably
would make it even stronger.
Anyway, I envy you with or without a crop ;-)

1/8" (3.5mm) plug to hot shoe adapters?

2009-12-02 Thread Larry Colen
My new studio flash triggers are great for the studio flashes, at  
least with my K20.


http://www.linkdelight.com/index.php/Slave-Triggers-Sets/Blazzeo-Wireless-Slave-Trigger-Set-for-Studio-Flash-16-Channel/Detailed-product-flyer.html
http://tinyurl.com/yd4n982

The problem is that the trigger only has 1/8" (or 3.5mm) plug output.   
When working in the studio, it's trivial to trigger smaller strobes  
optically off of the studio strobes, but it would be nice to be able  
to trigger them via radio when i don't want to carry the white  
lightnings around.  Are there adapters from 1/8" to a hotshoe  
available?  Or would I be better off just getting inexpensive radio  
triggers like this:

http://www.linkdelight.com/index.php/Slave-Triggers-Sets/Blazzeo-Wireless-Hot-Shoe-Flash-Trigger-for-Canon-430EX-580EX-et.html
http://tinyurl.com/yld7hr6

because at these costs, it doesn't take many cables to add up to what  
they're charging.

blue saturation a tad.
It was an early rise, like 4:30 or so, but absolutely worth it.

K100 and radio trigger

2009-12-02 Thread Larry Colen

I just got some radio triggers from link delight.

They work like a charm on my K20D using either the shoe, or the pc  
cable. However, they don't work on my K100. It just doesn't trigger  
them.


I also tried taking a nikon as15 hotshoe to pc adapter to trigger it,  
and it worked fine on the K20, but not with the K100.


Does the K100 need to see some sort of voltage across the shoe before  
it'll trigger the flash, even on manual mode?


I have a couple of dumb flashes lying around a vivitar 283 and vivitar  
265, but I don't know if they'll fry my camera with too high of a  
trigger voltage, so I don't want to test with them.

I like both.

The sunset could use more contrast.  I suspect it was a more  
dramatic scene

than the photo shows.


What he said.  I took the contrast up a bit on my calibrated monitor  
and felt that the sunset image was improved.  Of course, you may  
prefer that more pastel medieval painting look...

Enablement: Awesome camera backpack

2009-12-02 Thread John Celio
My best friend bought me this for my birthday in October:
http://www.amazon.com/Tamrac-3385-Access-Laptop-Backpack/dp/B001L5U16G

I've held off on posting anything about it so I could see how I like it.
 Turns out I love it!

It's not too big, not too small, has a ton of room for camera stuff in
the bottom section, is just big enough to fit my laptop in the slot and
the top compartment is big enough to carry all the crap I like to keep
on me plus a few giant burritos (or a big sweatshirt).

Burrito capacity is important, you know.  I could also fit a few of them
in the lens slots, but I really don't want to risk getting guacamole on
my 50 1.4.

Since I'm carless now, this backpack makes my life a lot easier.  It
could only be better if there were a couple more small external pockets
or accessory loops on the sides, but they really aren't that necessary. 
Overall this is a great bag.

John

It was a little nerve-wracking. We couldn't quite tell if he'd smelt my
manly pheromones and wanted to butt me, or had smelt my companion's womanly
pheromones and wanted to tup her. Perhaps one followed by the other. She
wisely decided that since I'm the one with the testosterone and the thick
skull I should be between her and Rimbaud, and we walked calmly out of the
field while gently telling him tales from Jane Austen novels to soothe his
