Re: Not THAT similar

way cool Margus but too bad Pentax jumped the iPod train just when
they had figured out how to make colors as well as non colors - but
the look really is one of a kind and you have my sincere envy ;]

It would be difficult for them to be as bad as some that I have seen in Russia 
but many of the Americans I know who travel high mileages (mostly on two 
wheelers) are less than complimentary about their home product.

Apparently there's some new legislation requiring that you apply for
tourist visa online before arriving in the US. I got an email from SAS
about this just a couple of weeks back, and it was supposed to be
effective from a date some time between now and the Chicago
exhibition. SAS warned that passengers without pre-submitted forms
would be turned away at immigration.

For anyone interested, I'm sure I can dig up a link from my home mail
archive. Drop me a note off-list.

weeks in Miami, 2 weeks in NY, 2 weeks in Paris and 2 weeks in Chicago 
at the end of June.  Unfortunately it looks like I'm going to miss out

Ok, I'd like to hear some chatter about the Chicago Exhibit.

1) Who's coming?
2)  Do you want to do a group photo-walk on Sat or Sun or neither?
3) Do you want to do a group dinner Sat night at some place cheap and 
cheerful?




Friday, May 7th will be the opening reception from 6-9 pm.  The 
gallery is on the 4th floor of Dank Haus.  On the 6th floor there is a 
bar called the Skyline Lounge, which has an excellent terrace offering 
a nice roof top view of the city.  Sue said the bar might have free 
jazz that night.  So that could be fun, but if we don't want to stay 
there, there are lots of nice bars within a short walking distance 
from Dank Haus.


What do you'all think?  Let's get the chatter going on this.

PESO: Roman Roof Tiles Revisited

The colors and textures of these roof tiles at the Castel Sant'Angelo
in Rome caught my attention.  I have cropped the image slightly to
remove the distraction in the upper right corner, as suggested by Jack
Davis:

Comments, suggestions and criticisms will be greatly appreciated.

Just last weekend, I shot a show with the K10D fixed at ISO 1250 (the edge of 
usability) and speeds of 1/10-1/40.  1/500 is a shutter speed I've only ever 
gotten on nice BIG stages.  Nice, but unusual/atypical!

Re: VESO - something bewildering..

Submit one that is clearly NOT bewildering, and the rest of us will be
bewildered by your submission.  Therefore, you will satisfy the theme
better than most (and certainly better than mine).

Re: Chicago Exhibit

Christine,

> 1) Who's coming?

Lynn and I will be there.  I'll drive the van so I can do some
shlepping of folks.
Lynn probably won't photo walk, but definitely see the opening.

> 2)  Do you want to do a group photo-walk on Sat or Sun or neither?

Either day is fine, perhaps one day for the full group and the other
for smaller groups.
If the weather is good, there is nothing more glorious than a tour on an old red
London double-decker bus.

> 3) Do you want to do a group dinner Sat night at some place cheap and
> cheerful?

Yes, you pick the place or make some suggestions.  Do we have 5 or 25 folks?

As to hotels, Lynn and I will do some looking.  Anywhere west of Michigan Ave
will be a bit cheaper.  And north of the river and south of Chicago
Ave. is good.
I might try Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites, Comfort Inn, or Hilton Garden Inn.
These are all along Ohio Street, west of Navy Pier and South of the
galleries you
talked about.  See what kind of deals you can get.  Everybody at 1 or
2 places would
make transit a bit easier.  This whole area is relatively safe and secure.

I'm sure that differences can be found, but they do look quite similar at first 
glance.

Are those both actually in one picture - side by side?  The dimensions are 
quite similar, for sure!

Re: PESO: Roman Roof Tiles Revisited

Dan,
Cropped is much better.
I couldn't get interested in the 1st image you posted.
This cropped one holds my attention and interest.
It's amazing what that upper right corner did to hold back the image!

I used them to scan hundreds of slides.  I have never manually scanned
any slides, so I don't have any way to compare the results.  Here is a
gallery of some of the scans:

(my smugmug site)  ...  http://tinyurl.com/ycpdsza

Pro:
One great thing about scancafe is the ability to only pick and pay for
1/2 of the images that they scan.
To spell it out clearly, you can send them 1000 slides and then only
have to pay for your favorite 500.

Pro:
They offer a service of retouching your damaged image(s).  If I recall
correctly, I think it cost a dollar or 2 for this touchup.   Here are
3 of the same picture retouched:
 1.  the diry original
http://tinyurl.com/yzlqyjl
 2.  the small preview of the retouch  http://tinyurl.com/yka95yt
 3.  the full size final
http://tinyurl.com/ybs27n3

Con:
Their website for browsing and picking your scans was mildly slow and annoying.

OK, it's official: Dr. Lisa and I are coming. She was on call that
weekend but got someone to trade. We'll probably fly in on the morning
of the 7th because I have exams to give on the 6th :(

We'll probably leave Sunday so a photo walk will fit in.

If you would, I'd appreciate your checking to see if I did check the "OK to

You did indeed check the box for the exhibit.
Sue Barton has only picked about half the photos for the exhibit. (I'm
notifying people individually.) She promised the rest "tomorrow
morning". And that was on Tuesday. I sent her a reminder yesterday

Re: OT: PESO Sami in Karate class and a few other Things that probably interest no one in the world but me...

On Mar 17, 2010, at 10:26 PM, Sandra Hermann wrote:

First the Peso: http://samsphotopage.blogspot.com/2010/03/karate-class.html

I did my first firmware upgrade ever today. I had no idea how to do
them and was petrified of the whole process. Now my k10d finally
has the latest update. The reason for this update is the fact that
I am shooting a wedding Sat and I want to use my flash off camera.
Now to figure that part out. I hate shooting weddings. I can't mess
up, I don't like that kind of pressure.

I wouldn't mind being "the second photographer" at a wedding. I
wouldn't want to be THE photographer.

I also was curious how I could take better pictures of the kids in
the Karate class if I don't have a fast enough lens and I don't have
the money to buy a better one. I thought I was doing alright buying
stuff while I had a job, but I was buying more for nature
photography and now every one wants action photo's from me. Wrong
stuff.

Judging by the karate classes I've taken, they're halfway between
blues dancing and Aikido. You don't have a lot of bodies flying
through the air and the subjects stay pretty much in place when doing
drills and kata. Some things I've learned from shooting dance and
martial arts.

Your cheapest fast glass is going to be a 50/1.4 supertak with an
adapter. If you play your craigslist cards right, you can get the
glass for free, or with an old spotty for $50. M42 adapters are about
$20. The problem with using the old lenses is that they get you
spoiled for build quality.
In this case the lack of an automatic stopdown isn't going to be an
issue, because you'll be shooting wide open, or close to it, anyways.

At my dojo, I find that 50mm is a reasonable length to work with.

It's manual focus, so I recommend refocusing a lot. That way if you're
off, you'll only be off for a few shots. A katzeye could help here.

Another low budget (as in cheaper than a new lens) thing that'll help
is a monopod.

http://www.linkdelight.com/index.php/Tripods-Heads/Benro-8x-Carbon-Fiber-MC-66n6-5-sections-Monopod/Detailed-product-flyer.html
is a sweet deal, I use it with a manfrotto ball head.

Try higher ISOs. I'm almost always shooting stationary objects at
base ISO, but for dance or marital arts, I'll push the ISO pretty
hard. High ISO noise will often look better in black and white.

I need to get off my butt and finish working on this project, but
here's something I'm writing about shooting action in low light:

I got a 2x converter last month. I found eagles so I had to have it
to take pictures of them. I still wasn't close enough. But next
year I will figure out a better plan.

That;'s a shame, Sam.

Tamrac Summit - opinions sought [Scanned]

2010-03-18 Thread John Whittingham

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying a new camera bag, something in the size of the Tamrac 
Summit. I need a backpack as I occasionally travel by motorcycle, don't need 
room for a laptop/notebook but do need fiting for a large Manfrotto tripod with 
Gimbal head, peferably weatherproof. Opinions sought on the Tamrac Summit and 
alternatives aprreciated.

TIA

John

Boris, your B-1 is a business visa, so you don't need another visa.

People coming to the US on a leisure visit used to be able to just
show up at US immigration and enter the country thanks to the Visa
Waiver Program, an agreement between the US and several other
"friendly" countries whereby visitors automatically received a tourist
visa valid for 3 months.  But now, in order to obtain said visa, you
have to request it online prior to travel, like Jostein said.

Also make sure you bring all 10 fingers as they will be scanned by immigration.

If I get an image selected for the exhibit I will try my hardest to
attend the opening. If not, then I may or may not show up that
weekend. My in-laws live in South Bend so I'll likely be visiting them
some time during the exhibit duration and would pop over to Chicago to

OT - ARRI's answer to the RED camera

Arriflex has a new digital system. It offers both optical and EVF options.

The first 16mm camera I used was 1960's era Arriflex 16S. They've come a long

Re: Not THAT similar

Hi,

you may take a look at the photos I uploaded to different server:
http://nagi.ee/photos/haramount/sets/256079/?picture_type=t&start=0

Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining and I really do like I-10. In 
my opinion, it is one of the few (if not the only) compacts that look 
like a camera, not a soapbox. Just when you take it to you hand together 
with Auto 110, it feels pretty much different from Auto 110. As I said, 
they are similar, but not THAT similar :)

The cameras can't really be that similar in size, can they?  Could you

I agree with Boris.  You've got some great work. Sometimes the symmetry

Re: Tamrac Summit - opinions sought [Scanned]

Hi John
Dunno about the Tamrac as I haven't tried it but the outer cover of
the LowePro DryZone 200 tends to balloon at higher speeds so it was no
joy to ride with. The tripod fitting of the DryZones is IMHO superior
to the Summit's as the tripod is attached farther down and there is
less risk of neck injury in a crash situation. Personally, I would not
carry the tripod while riding but attach it to the frame somewhere or
put it in a waterproof roller bag to go across the bike atop the
panniers/rack. For offbike, either attachment is fine. There is also
the ortlieb backpacks but they have no dedicated photo interior.

film/slide digital conversion: dynamic range question

I know that when it comes to exposure, film has a much higher dynamic 
range than does digital.


What about the dynamic range of the image on the processed film?  I know 
that there's some roll off, so that if film can record 9 stops of range, 
(numbers POA*) it might only be represented with 7 stops of dynamic 
range.  Does anyone know off hand what the real values are for these 
numbers?


What about scanners and digital cameras?  Do scanners have more dynamic 
range than your standard APS camera?


If the image on film has more dynamic range than that on the camera, 
could you recover more of that data with bracketing and HDR processing?  
How many stops of bracketing would you need?

Re: film/slide digital conversion: dynamic range question

If I want HDR: -2,0,+2. A single RAW shot processed as HDR or "HDR" is
also possible. You could try Topaz Adjust

Re: VESO - something bewildering.. A techie question - ok I took off password duh

That is indeed very strange and bewildering!  I haven't got a clue as
to the cause, but then I almost never shoot video.

 Submit one that is clearly NOT bewildering, and the rest of us will be
 bewildered by your submission. Â Therefore, you will satisfy the theme
 better than most (and certainly better than mine).

Re: Tamrac Summit - opinions sought [Scanned]

I know that you said you don't need the laptop pocket in your gear bag, 
but I've found that when I'm not carrying a computer that pocket is very 
handy for carrying things like grey cards, flash modifiers/diffusers, 
the Itoya 9x12 photo albums, or basically anything fairly large and 
flat..  It's also a great place for my monopod without the head on it.


I'm starting to do another look at something to carry lenses and such 
that I don't want/need in my pack at the moment.  I've run across a 
couple mentions of the pelican 1550, which seems to have configurable 
dividers. There also seems to be a (Lowepro?) softcase that the Pelican 
case will fit into. This seems to be a pretty good compromise on 
protection, size, capacity and price.  Anybody have comments or 
experience with the setup?

My guess is that it's some sort of frequency response issue.   Something 
is charging up the cells on the sensor and reading them isn't 
discharging them maybe?

To get his joke you needed to look at it at the right angle.

He's cornered the market on humor.

No, he's just being obtuse.

I thought it was acute shot

Looks like we're going to have another protracted pun thread on out
hands.

I don't generally agree as a rule.

I know you're a flexible mind though so your rule does slide at times.

I'm inclined to agree with you.

I'll think twice before I get into a thread like this and find myself
on a slippery slope again.

Didn't you see the warning sine ?

If I'd seen it we wouldn't be running off on this tangent now.

So don't your eyes function well?
