I had to go out just after the stream started - got a bit of a shock to

I set up to record using Debut Video Capture and managed to get some

Looking forward to Cotty's highlights.

Hey Brian,

Yep, not looking forward to the cld!  I am SUCH a banana bender!

Not *really* going for the exhibition so much, although I will take a look
around, I am mainly going for the AIPP awards judging and the Pro
Photographers Boot Camp that is on the Sunday.  

Also, I've never been to Melbourne before (the ONLY capital city in
Australia that I've never lived in!) and I will be ALONE, with no hubby and
no kids for 2 full days, I am a tad excited about that
aspect too!

RE: Completely, waaayyyy OT: Architecture - Personal

2010-05-08 Thread Malcolm Smith
Hi Doug,

  About five years ago, a development of six of these were put up
 twenty mins
  walk from me in a gated development off a main road.
 
 Is there a chance that knowing the location more precisely, I could
 find
 out more about them?  If they're private homes, probably not, unless
 the
 development was some sort of news at the time.  I'd be interested to
 learn more about them.

I've looked for links to them or sales but they have been removed. They were
built in about 2005 for £950,000 each and one went up for £985,000 in 2008.
I'm sure more than one has changed hands. It is possible to get a glimpse on
them on Google maps (I can't get a direct link to work). If you put in
Sewardstone Road, London E4, as you zoom in to the road, it is between Mott
Street  Avey Lane. You will see a Premier Lodge and it is immediately to
the north of it. To add to the joys of the location, this site was developed
in 2006 and one of the buildings and the car park is against their boundary
wall! 

  I've always understood
  the panoramic views that can be had by locating one in a good open
 spot in a
  bit of land, but six sited very closely together with communal
 parking,
  struck me as rather odd, if for no other reason than privacy issues.
 
 I'm completely on board.  Due to a childhood trauma, I have a thing
 about ground floor windows.  But I could see putting the full glass
 treatment to the first level above ground, and any levels above that.
 For example, I've always wanted a house on high ground overlooking the
 ocean with a turret on top that's glass all around.

I should think the view from the lower ground windows, consists of wall,
gate and other properties. I'm with you on the views from higher levels.

  Although the view behind is great, the bulk of the view is dominated
 by a
  motorway and one of the largest supermarket distribution centres in
  south-east England; this did not stop one being marketed and sold
 after a
  few months with an asking price of £985,000. I'm not sure if the
 location,
  proximity of other similar properties or the asking price shocks me
 most.
 
 Maybe I'm being picky, but I'm bloody well not going to spend a million
 pounds for a view of a motorway and a flippin' warehouse.

Maybe it's worth it for the short stay motel right next door? Then again

Malcolm

OT: The other half

2010-05-08 Thread David Mann
I had my second half-marathon race this morning.  Last week's race was very 
hilly; this week was pretty much flat but on roughish ground, and my official 
time for today was 1:50:03.

The race was a pretty hard one; the first 10km was run into a head wind and I 
had a little muscle pain to deal with, undoubtedly a bit of a hangover from 
last week.  A couple of km after we turned around, that nice tail wind dropped 
off.  Sod it.

For most of the race I was keeping an eye on my pace thinking I was doing 
terribly but I was bitten once again by my complete inability to perform basic 
mathematics while running and I was actually going a bit quicker than I thought.

The event was sponsored by a winery and most of the running was through 
vineyards with quite a bit of that going down between the grape vines.  Most of 
them had been harvested already so I didn't do any sampling.  As a bonus 
everyone was given a bottle of wine after finishing.  That's pretty good 
considering they had about 1700 entrants.

I just entered for another half marathon in my home town in early June.  For 
only $15 I could have super-sized to a full marathon but I'm not quite ready 
for that :)

We're staying in Hanmer Springs tonight so tomorrow I'm going to try and take a 
couple of decent photos from my favourite part of last week's course.

Cheers,
Dave

seconds long.
I'm sure it's a fun event, but watching it at waist level as broadcast
by a locked-off camera in lo-res computer video makes watching paint
dry  a thrilling spectator sport in comparison:-) Back to my baseball game.

I'm afraid Paul's pretty much spot-on. It won't be more than a few
minutes long but hey, I'll do my best.

I recorded an hour so we'll se what what we get. I watched some of it
but was chatting online with several others at the same time and that
was hysterical. Without the chat, I would have been pouring gasoline
over myself within minutes.

What was very cool is that I tried the web page on my iPhone and the
video stream was quicktime so it loaded full frame and ran great. I took
the exhibition up to bed and watched some more bellies before lights out

Just up, and there's a GP qually session at lunch, so will post a bit
later on, about 5pm GMT.

I started jogging about 5 years ago, having not run outdoors since school,
and only on the treadmill when I had gym membership. I followed a plan I
found on a squash training site (I'd started playing squash again, and
needed to fitten up) which basically tells you to build up slowly on
alternate days. 

http://www.unc.edu/student/orgs/squash/Squash_Fitness/squash_fitness.html

Scroll down to Conditioning Suggestions from Coach Tom Generous. I
followed that to the letter, and it worked. One of the key psychological
tricks I used for cold, wet, windy, rainy winter evenings was to tell myself
to go out and I would not regret it, but if I didn't go out I would regret
it. That worked too. I also think it's important to have a pleasant circuit
to run.

Once I was able to run for 20 minutes easily I started extending it until I
was running 5 miles in about 55 minutes, but at that stage my knees started
to suffer, so I cut back. My normal run at the moment is about 3.5 miles in
30 minutes, and I'd like to build up the running time again, gradually.

Last year I had a problem with my iliotibial band, and stopped for a while,
and I've found it quite hard to get back up to a decent level again for
various reasons. However, I think I have now got back into the routine.

RE: Completely, waaayyyy OT: Architecture - Personal

2010-05-08 Thread Malcolm Smith
Hi Doug,

 Well, if I can realistically expect to afford a completely custom home,
 it means the Lottery Fairy visited and price is, practically, not
 really
 an object.  So, if I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream big. :-)
 
 Anyway, I'm more about the land than the house.  If price is no object,
 I'm going to build a pretty modest house in the middle of a property as
 large as I can afford.  There are limits, afterall.  But I could easily
 envision living in a 300 or 400 m^2 (3-4000 ft^2) house on thousands of
 acres of land.

My ambitions are far more modest, but even so, would require said Lottery
Fairy - I suppose entering would be a help.

 Yeah, wasted space is one of my pet peeves.  A boatload of new
 relatively high-end housing was built around my area in the run up to
 the bursting of the mortgage bubble.  A lot of them are sitting empty,
 so I go around and look at the ones that aren't locked up.  I've gotta
 tell you, the vast majority of them are aesthetic nightmares, for a
 huge
 number of reasons including wasted space and rooms apparently designed
 with the specific purpose of making it impossible to place furniture
 without blocking doors or traffic flows.

It seems a similar problem both sides of the pond; again, one of the reasons
I gave up looking and extended here. It's all a compromise though and by
going up, I've added another flight of stairs which as I get older will be a
real pain.

To get this back into photography, I will take some photos next time I go
past the development.

 alternate days.

 Scroll down to Conditioning Suggestions from Coach Tom Generous. I
 followed that to the letter, and it worked. One of the key
 psychological
 tricks I used for cold, wet, windy, rainy winter evenings was to tell
 myself
 to go out and I would not regret it, but if I didn't go out I would
 regret
 it. That worked too. I also think it's important to have a pleasant
 circuit
 to run.
 
 Once I was able to run for 20 minutes easily I started extending it
 until I
 was running 5 miles in about 55 minutes, but at that stage my knees
 started
 to suffer, so I cut back. My normal run at the moment is about 3.5
 miles in
 30 minutes, and I'd like to build up the running time again, gradually.
 
 Last year I had a problem with my iliotibial band, and stopped for a
 while,
 and I've found it quite hard to get back up to a decent level again for
 various reasons. However, I think I have now got back into the routine.

Thanks for that. I lost 4 stone last year - mainly through illness rather
than trying to do so - and I've put some back on. Oddly enough, I've felt
less fit since I've lost weight, but I'm sure this is down to less physical
work. I enjoy getting out walking, and since Epping Forest is on my
doorstep, I really have little excuse not to do so. I will read this up and
get to it. I'd like to run 5 miles without feeling breathless and asthmatic.

In 1994 we had snow in Kirkland Lake in late June. About 3 and it
lasted for 1-2 days.

I remember a sign at the tourist info building in Churchill Manitoba
that had some interesting facts, one of which stated:
It rarely snows in August.

I was there in 1985 and it did not snow that August, so they are right,.

 Thanks for that. I lost 4 stone last year - mainly through 
 illness rather than trying to do so - and I've put some back 
 on. Oddly enough, I've felt less fit since I've lost weight, 
 but I'm sure this is down to less physical work. I enjoy 
 getting out walking, and since Epping Forest is on my 
 doorstep, I really have little excuse not to do so. I will 
 read this up and get to it. I'd like to run 5 miles without 
 feeling breathless and asthmatic.

Walking 6 miles and running 6 miles will burn more or less the same number
of calories - it's the amount of energy needed to move a certain weight a
certain distance - but running does it more quickly. I think it will give
your cardio system a lot more exercise though, which is more important than
mere weight loss. You get an endorphin high from the exercise and start a
positive feedback loop which encourages you to take more exercise still.
This makes you feel better about absolutely everything, as well as improving
your physical health.

Epping Forest would be a great place to run, except perhaps in the dark with
no lights and all those highwaymen. It's probably not more than 10 miles
from here along the Lea Valley - we should meet up sometime.

I _think_ that moving the weight more quickly will use more energy. 
Otherwise, why would your cv system need to work harder?

To generate the additional speed. I don't know that the 2 modes use exactly
the same number of calories, but I don't think the difference is
significant. I could be wrong - maybe I'm just recirculating garbage I've
read online.

What does make a difference is that it's a lot easier to eat a Mars bar when
you're walking than when you're running.

I used to loath the thought of running. It was the school exercise you did
when the weather was so poor as to make games pitches unplayable, heavy
rain, snow...especially snow. Added to which I always came in near the very
end. My target is just to be able to do the circuit I previously walked, at
a quicker pace. I'm not sure I could even walk it right now, but I'll find
out tomorrow morning!

Even as I sent it, I was reminded of the rough ground cut up on the horse
rides (the only flat bit close to me) - fortunately with longer evenings I
won't have to run with a mining hat on. Once I'm able to 'walk and talk'
without sounding like an old carthorse, we'll have to meet up.

 It turned out that the first one was 19 mil thick, and the second -

 The thick media tray would only take 13x19 pieces.

 Does anybody know one can print on canvas paper with Epson R2880

Opening Reception

Hi Everyone:

It's 8:10 a.m. here in Chicago, and I have to get ready to meet folks 
downtown, but I wanted to post a quick update:


1) We had a surprise right off:  Bill Robb showed up with Tom Cakilic.  I 
actually knew he was coming, but I was sworn to secrecy.  It was great, 
great fun to meet him.


2) My husband, Darrel, estimates about 75 people attended the reception, and 
the energy was up.  I want to say maybe a hundred attended, but it's hard to 
say.


3) Non-PDMLers LOVED EVERYONE's work.  Folks were really impressed with the 
quality--of course, folks picked out favorites, but the body of work was 
greatly admired by all who attended.  And that's the truth!!!


4) Two photographs have been identified as sold, and two more *might* sell. 
This is a good sign for the remaining weeks to come--but take this statement 
with very, very cautious optimism.  It's always hard to say for sure, and 
deals can fall through, but . . .


5) I didn't take many pictures because I willingly got caught up in the 
social energy.  Friends and family came out to support us, and I wanted 
everyone to feel warmly welcomed.  At the end of the night, I regretted my 
lack of picture taking, but Darrel assured me that PDMLers were taking 
pictures like crazy.  At one point, someone said to Darrel, I've never seen 
this many cameras in one room.


6) Cotty:  I forgot to send kisses via the web cam, but I send you many 
kisses now XXX!


7) It was really great to meet all the PDMLers that came--that was probably 
the best part of the night!  :-)


More later  big, big cheers to the list--you're all with us in spirit!

Geso Fire hall open house

2010-05-08 Thread David J Brooks
Hey all.

On May 1st, an open house was held at our new fire hall. James was
helping out, so i went to see the place and grab a few photos. It was
a heavy overcast day and the rains started 1/2 after i got there, and
every one scattered, so i only managed a few photos.

K10D, D AF 16-45

Photos dragged into jalbum, no adjustments.

PESO - Early Morning Run

I took my advice, inspired as I was by looking at the Chicago Dankhaus

took tons of shots.

While I'm off doing a little gallery of my morning stroll, here's one
that I think might be a keeper:

Not to dispute the potential keeper-nature of the shot -- though I might

 Hey all.

 On May 1st, an open house was held at our new fire hall. James was
 helping out, so i went to see the place and grab a few photos. It was
 a heavy overcast day and the rains started 1/2 after i got there, and
 every one scattered, so i only managed a few photos.

 Photos dragged into jalbum, no adjustments.

There WAS a group shot (many, actually but that's another story.  I'm 
not sure whose camera they used.  It was a Pentax though, and it wasn't

Re: PESO - Early Morning Run

2010-05-08 Thread Brian Walters
I initially read that title as 'Early Morning Rain', and was expecting
an interpretation of one of the best (in my opinion) of Gordon
Lightfoot's songs.

Having re-read the title...I like that a lot, even though the runner
looks like he/she has a basket of fruit on their head.

Perhaps crop out the half a duck in the bottom left?

WEBCAM Video of Chicago Exhibition

2010-05-08 Thread Cotty
Here's a little offering from the HOUR of webcam video I recorded last
night. Included the exhibition photographs and some music to pad it out
to 7 and a half minutes.

Two places to see -

Flash video on my website:

http://www.seeingeye.tv/pages/chicago.html


Also on Vimeo, which is MP4 but I think Vimeo's audio is crap but maybe
ok for you:

http://www.vimeo.com/11579683


If the connection isn't fast enough, pause the video and allow it to
stream a bit before watching - then it won't keep jerking and stopping.

Mike, have you received word of the shipping costs from the gallery? 
I've been assuming I'd pay to get mine shipped to Canada, but I haven't

No but I assume that there will be a reasonable price option that will 
deliver me a shattered, waterstained remnant of a print and an 
outrageously expensive one that will deliver me a pristine one.  In 
either case, I am not interested.

 Okay, I never really thought those last two, but I have to admit, even
 though I don't know why, I keep coming back to this to try to make
 something of it:

There is something to like in the shot (the blonde in the boots comes to 
mind...) But seriously there is an interesting interplay between the seated 
person, the blond and the picture on the left.  Nice grab.

 to 7 and a half minutes.

 Also on Vimeo, which is MP4 but I think Vimeo's audio is crap but maybe
 ok for you:

 If the connection isn't fast enough, pause the video and allow it to
 stream a bit before watching - then it won't keep jerking and stopping.

Definitely a keeper, Frank.
Reminds me of a shot I've been meaning to take for a couple of years: seems
we all need a jog of inspiration now and then!

I took my advice, inspired as I was by looking at the Chicago Dankhaus
Gallery this morning, and went out to shoot some.  Down at the lake, I
took tons of shots.

While I'm off doing a little gallery of my morning stroll, here's one
that I think might be a keeper:

Hope you enjoy.  Comments always welcome.

Chicago status report

2010-05-08 Thread Stan Halpin
Chicago is still here. More than 24 hours after the gathering at the gallery 
last night, and the city hasn't yet vanished under the mighty weight of 
gathered talent. 

We gather around 1030, more or less, at the Art Institute and made our way 
through the Eggleston exhibit with a bit of wrangling amongst ourselves about 
is it art? Is it even good photography? Noonish some scattered to other 
parts of the museum, others to Millenium Park to view the ongoing Celtic 
Festival and other attractions, others just went. We reconvened for pizza and 
beer and good conversation about 1730. And then went our separate ways.

Those who are not traveling early Sunday (or do not have other obligations) 
will gather for a mid-day photowalk in residential Oak Park, the area where 
Frank Lloyd Wright had his home and studio and where 25 or so of his designs 
grace the quiet streets. And then later tomorrow most will head back home. 

This has been a great gathering! Good people, good times. Thanks to Mark, 
Christine, and Bob Sullivan for providing the impetus, making it happen,  and 
for hosting the gathering.

 Of course there is a way to out the railing.  I purposely left it in
 one shot, and then choose that shot over the ones without the railing.
  Shows how much I know!

 In any event, here is the image I framed from the same location, but
 without the railing:
