GESO Tuesday Night Blues Jam

[Larry Colen]

I think that I'm starting to get a handle on the lighting at JJ's. For the most 
part, I expose for the red channel and let the blue and green fall where they 
may.  When I do that, I can usually get a pretty clean black and white.  
Sometimes the color is such that if I bump the exposure, the red clips and the 
highlights show up as a bright yellow. A little tweaking with vibrance and 
clarity gives me something that looks like of like a 60's silk screen poster.

Last night I was experimenting with my flash. I don't have it quite nailed 
down, but the combination of flash and red stage lights gives kind of a nice 
warm tone to the shots that I rather like.

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157624583214413/

This one is kind of cool because where the flash is shadowed but the stage 
lights aren't, it look like the mic is glowing in her hand:

The other thing that I was playing with was using long focal lengths to bring 
it in very close to the musicians and to minimize the background clutter. These 
were pretty much all shot with my 18-250

That was it.  I guess that it had gotten accidentally set in the camera.

No pop-up, it was with the AF540.

Gosh that's pretty, Brian.  The light is lovely.  You know, since Herons are 
your favorite birds to shoot, you might enjoy a quick read of this very 
famous short story, "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett.  Here's an online

Try getting to the page where you can select which size photo you
want.  It's one extra click, not two as I originally thought, but it's
something I used often enough that is now annoying.

Re: Weird lag with p-ttl flash

[Igor Roshchin]

Larry, what you describe is not how P-TTL works.
You would have to try hard to notice the pre-flash of the P-TTL.
THe interval between the pre-flash and the flash is just at 
the border of what a human eye can resolve.

What you describe sounds like a red-eye-reduction mode.
But even for that, - the first "short wait" is strange
(unless it's due to focusing or due to the battery still charging up
for the pop-up flash, if the shot happened too soon after you popped it
up).

Nice looking bird with very attractive markings on the feathers.  Pity
about the out of focus object on the right but I guess that's one of the
problems of photographing animals in enclosures.

Good to see a reasonably-sized gallery this month.  My favourite is
probably Paul's 'Giddy-Up' - great colour and energy but I also really
like Carl's 'Flight' and Ken's 'Serendipity' images of geese getting
airborne.

I'm not sure what's in the dog's mouth in Joe's 'Keep Away'.  Maybe
better not to know

Re: Still "lenses again"

[P. J. Alling]

28 is the true normal lens on an APS-C camera.  Normal lenses have been 
defined as the FL equal to the diagonal of the format.  50~58mm is the 
classic normal on 35mm, traditional because that's what was used on 
Leica, but the equivalent AOV lens on most any other format would be 
considered a short telephoto.  A 35mm lens gives you the same AOV on 
APS-C.  To actually get something wide on a APS-C camera you need to 
have a 24mm at the minimum.

Weird lag with p-ttl flash

[Larry Colen]

One advantage of being good friends with a band is that you get a lot more 
freedom as a photographer.  Especially when they love the photos that you take 
of them.  Last week I was up on stage with them for a while, which allowed me 
to actually get some clear shots of the drummer.

Last night another friend of theirs was practicing taking pictures because she 
has a front and backstage photo pass to a jazz festival this weekend. She was 
shooting with a rebel and a kit lens, and was taking pictures using the pop-up 
flash.  I decided to try some flash photography myself and found that the best 
results seemed to be from using my water jug diffuser with the sides wrapped in 
aluminum foil so that it was more of a softbox than a photon grenade.

Rather than my usual habit of using the flash in manual mode, I was using it in 
TTL, and I noticed that there was what seemed like a two second shutter lag. 
Press shutter, short wait, flash, long wait, click/flash.  Is this normal? I've 
never noticed such a long delay between the first and second flashes before.  
The batteries weren't desperately low, but they weren't completely fresh 
either.

You're clicking too much. :)  Mouse over the image and you'll see the 
cursor become a magnifying glass.  Click anywhere on the image and it 
loads bigger, on a black bgnd.


Then you can use keyboard shortcuts: eg left and right arrow-keys will 
take you back and forth through the images sequentially.


Flickr's never had the best or most clear UI, but I think it's better 
featured now anyway.


And this guy's portraits are very nice. He does have a tendency to 
center them all in landscape, which is a bit tiresome. Minor nit.

My experience is good (in so far as a broken SDM motor repair can be good).
Johnsons Photopia, the Pentax agent in the UK replaced the "autofocus motor"
in my 16-50. They communicated well, diagnosed the problem properly and
fixed it quickly. 115 GBP is a lot (it was way out of warranty), but it
works well now. Let's hope it stays that way...

Both are concidered as good lenses.

But, you might need something wider than 35-70 on a crop camera.
I don't know what average second hand prices are for 16-45, but that's
also a fine piece of glass.

Re: PESO - Flø

Thank you Larry, Cotty, Boris and Paul.

The picture is about two weeks old. The colours are more or less how
they came out of the camera. A bit cold, yes. But they are pretty much
as I remember the scene.

The contrast is another thing, I've tweaked that a lot, trying to find
some life in the rather dull grey sky.

One click to see it large now, click on the lightbox icon (Plus sign
inside magnifying glass) between the newer/older links to the upper
right of the image. Also shows the image on a black background whith
almost no extra crud.

The new UI takes a little getting used to, but it's a signficant
improvment once you figure out the basics. That said, I still use
flickrriver to browse flickr these days.

Case Study #1: When I was studying in the UK I had to buy a Nuclear
Physics textbook. It was written by an American and published by an
American publisher, so I headed off to Amazon.com to order it, sure
that it would be a lot cheaper than in the UK. Nope, it cost exactly
DOUBLE on the US Amazon than it did on the UK branch, with shipping
costs being negligible in both cases. Given that the book had to be
imported into the UK (with the associated tax and business costs), and
in small quantities given the small number of graduate Nuclear Physics
students when compared to the US, I never understood why the
difference was so large, and never again looked for textbooks on
Amazon.com

Case Study #1: When my wife was doing her graduated school in the US,
I would routinely buy her textbooks in the UK due to their much
cheaper prices. Most of these books were written by American scholars
and published by American companies.

Like the Italians say: Boh!



Took a quick look at Amazon.co.uk, and it's $120 - 76.94 pounds ... 
usually dispatched within 1 to 3 weeks.


Although it is the hardcover version.

It really galls, because I don't NEED this course, I'm just REQUIRED to 
take it.


It's a survey course for liberal arts majors, and I've already had 
college calculus + specialized computer math courses. The only courses I 
had where the math *MIGHT* be relevant or useful, I've already completed.

[Igor Roshchin]

It was a lot of fun to meet Patsy and William (who is also a
photographer, albeit a non-P one).
and to see again Larry last weekend in San Francisco.

Patsy and William brought us to a nice sushi restaurant in Sunset.

Here is a social gallery:
http://42graphy.org/snapshots/20100808-pdml/
Don't miss the captions.


Here is Jane's (non-P) catch from the same evening:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/29329...@n00/sets/72157624574962485/


You may have seen Larry's set of photos from the same evening
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157624569606083/

In response to Doug's question: the first two photos in that set 
were from a different dinner, with Larry and other dancers.
You can see me with the K-7.

In that set, the idea of the 4-cameras lineup was of all of the
participants, but Larry's second camera was the only one that was still
available.
And you can see me "adding the color" to his K-x:

Patsy, - you're next! :-)

Re: OT Good use for photography.

I saw it reposed a few places a couple thought she was just too pretty, 
and that it was probably a hoax.  Too bad, it makes a good story.

Re: Galia PESO #36 - Large white

She did a surprisingly good job of focusing at a critical distance and on a 
tough subject. Ultimate image might benefit from some left side cropping.

Hey!

I've greatly enjoyed it.  A little adblock here, a little "FB Purity" script 
there, and what I'm left with is a way to keep in touch with friends/family.

Re: GESO- Boathouse Row

[Rick Womer]

Thanks Dan!

The dragon boats have been something of a fad for the last 10 years or so.  
They are flat-bottomed tubs propelled by (usually) untrained paddlers.  This 
group got 15 minutes of dry-land instruction on basic boating safety and how to 
hold a paddle, and off they went.  

On the plus side, there are a couple of dragon boat races for charity every 
year, that have become very popular.

Cheers,

Rick

Survived and had a great time (and so did Lisa). Took a few photos but

 When Pentax went from a 2 stoke to a 4 stroke engine on the SDM motors.

there's probably some helpful technology crossover available from the
bottled water industry. When I was in France last month a taxi driver took
me past the Quézac spring and bottling plant. Quézac is a very pleasant
water, with very tiny natural bubbles - much smaller than Perrier, for
example. I learned that they take the bubbles out, clean the water, then put
the bubbles back in during the bottling process. I imagine there must be
very large arrays of tiny little pigeonholes in the plant for the temporary
bubble storage - I'm sure it wouldn't too difficult to convert these into
photo sensors of the type you describe.

Incidentally, bubble memory was very popular in computing about 30 or so
years ago, so it isn't the first time this technology has been used for
digital applications.

Cheers!

Looks like it was taken with at least a Pentax.

There is something odd about Flickr.
   

Do you really have to ask?
