GESO Tuesday Night Blues Jam
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: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4884104947/ 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.

It had to happen eventually. i finally bought a DA lens: the DA 18-55/3.5-5.6 AL WR. hate the way the manual focus feels but I suppose that is to be expected. Got to take some rain shots during the local fringe quite promptly after picking it up. will post a peso or two as soon as i get some on line. -- Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own...

PESO - American Goldfinch
I'm rather obsessed with these little guys, but they're rather hard to get. Small, quick, they let me get ~almost~ close enough to shoot with 200mm, then take off. In several months, this is about the best I've gotten: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/american-goldfinch.html I need longer glass, because this just isn't sharp enough (heavily cropped). I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I need more mm's. 300, 600, whatever. First I need more money. To get that I need a better job. I'm getting sucked into the vortex, the black hole. rrrggghhh! Hope you enjoy.

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.

Re: PESO - American Goldfinch
Not a bad try frank. Soon you'll be selling your soul for a 500/4 or 600/4 :-) Those little bastards move so fast it's like trying to photograph electrons. The best advice I can give you is to watch them for a while. Birds are creatures of habit and will return to the same perch over and over again in the course of an hour or so. Watch as they hop from one perch to the next in the same order over and over again. Pick the perch with the best background and angle and just focus on that spot. Stare at it through the viewfinder ignoring the little guys as they tease and mock you from other perches. Then as soon as one hits the perch, fire off as many frames as you can. That's how i got some of my favorite shots like this one: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bNuA-oAASYY/SXZe0S7BO8I/AB4/8FtMwrSKfss/s1600-h/black-crested_titmouse_IMG_1866.jpg Christian - http://404notfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 07:12:34AM -0400, frank theriault wrote: I'm rather obsessed with these little guys, but they're rather hard to get.

Re: PESO - American Goldfinch
This all gives me a chance to re-show off an idea that actually worked. We've gone through about a metric ton of Niger in a feeder in the past couple years. After the frustration of many photo attempts, I decided to give the feeder a natural arm for them to use as another perch. Gold finches almost never fly directly to the feeder screen. They perch everywhere they can find around it 'til they feel things appear OK and they've selected the perfect feeding spot. The House finches (red sort of gray with red toned head and neck) don't perch, but fly directly to the feeder base. I'm told they don't perch. I went to the country and cut a stalk of Wild Mustard. Took it home and taped it to the top of the feeder. This is the result. I sorta wish the head/tail overlap hadn't happened. Forgive me for this duplication? Thanks!
