IPS LCD Monitors

2010-08-20 Thread Doug Franklin

Howdy, folks,

If any of you are in the market for LCD monitors to use in editing 
photos, it looks like HP has added a number of models with S-IPS panels, 
some at very reasonable prices.  In particular, the ZR22w model is 21.5 
diagonal with 1920 x 1080 resolution.  It's MSRP is about US$270, but 
it's on sale at pcmall.com (and probably macmall.com) for US$ 200 right 
now.  They also have the ZR24w (24, 1920 x 1200) that appears to 
replace the LP2475w that I have, at a better price.  MRSP of about 
US$500, on sale now at pcmall.com for US$ 350.  They also have the ZR30w 
(30, 2560 x 1600) for about US$ 1250.  I haven't used any of these new 
models but I've been /very/ pleased with the LP2475w for the last couple 
of years.

I think you can discard the two photos before the last. The last one is 
a keeper in my eyes.



It is an interesting artistic question, of how many, and which
pictures to include in a gallery.  And the answer would change for
the audience, for example photographers, or motorheads.

I'm curious which shots other people would include in my bestest
collection, whether it's only one, or all 16.


Indeed. I used to be very selective when working with the shoots from 
Galia's class. I am unofficial official photog of the class if you know 
what I mean. But then people started complaining that I give them too 
few pictures and I had to become less selective. It seems that I reached 
the balance in this specific case as they appear to be happy now.


Well, even here it is a tough question as I realize that among the 
photographers on this list there are not one and not two motorheads as 
you put it.

I like them both. As I suspected they are two, almost entirely different, 
photos. In black and white the photo is all about body language and facial 
expression.  It's about the moment.  In colo(u)r, it's a great image, and would 
be even if I took off my glasses and only saw colo(u)red blurs.

My habit is to use color as the default, but will often decide that a picture 
is stronger in black and white.  I appreciate the fact that with you, a photo 
has to stand on its own in black and white, and color only makes it better.

I find it interesting that in color it's easier to notice that the picture 
isn't tack sharp which I find amusing because I was just reflecting on how 
generally sharp all of your photos have been lately.  They've all had the 
theraultian subject matter, but not the theraultian blur or noise.

PESO - Iron Wall

Inside the Center Harbor church, the walls are covered in a raised fleur-de-lis 
pattern.  I thought it would be tin, but it felt much rougher and denser.  
Cast iron, the woman showing me around said. It's great at Christmas--we 
just put the decorations up with magnets.

Lightroom 2.7 question: how to edit 2 pictures side by side

2010-08-20 Thread Sam L
Hi all,

I have a set of photos I shot where the WB was set to Tungsten.
Halfway through the shoot I chimped and fixed this.  Pictures were all
shot in jpg on my K-x.  What I'd like to do is to copy the color
settings from the good pictures over to the pictures that have
tungsten white balance.  I tried selecting the appropriate pictures
and using the sync feature.  No luck on that.

How do you recommend I get the colors corrected and consistent?

It seems like it would be very handy to be able to view 2 images (the
good one and the bad one) simultaneously so that when I move the
sliders around I can immediately know if I'm helping or hurting.  I
was able to view side-by-side images only in the library module, but
not in the develop module.  Am I missing something here?


I've been lazy about digging out photos to share with the list.  Here
is my apology, in the form of a gallery of my new son, who is now 2
weeks old.  Most of the photos were from a DA40, but the last 4 were
shot with my Super Tak 85/1.9.

 Hi all,
 
 I have a set of photos I shot where the WB was set to Tungsten.

sync settings only synchronises the settings that you have applied using
Lightroom. You ought to shoot raw rather than jpeg - raw does not commit you
to anything in-camera.

 How do you recommend I get the colors corrected and consistent?
 

I would recommend you use the white balance pipette thing to find the colour
value of one of the whites in the photo you like, then apply the setting
manually to the corresponding area of the photo you don't like. Because
you've shot in jpeg you've lost a lot of room to manoeuvre though, depending
on how different the values are right now.

 It seems like it would be very handy to be able to view 2 images (the
good
 one and the bad one) simultaneously so that when I move the sliders
 around I can immediately know if I'm helping or hurting.  I was able to
view
 side-by-side images only in the library module, but not in the develop

In the Develop module you can use the Before / After view to see the effect
of your editing on the current picture.

 
 I've been lazy about digging out photos to share with the list.  Here is

FS Friday - gear bag

A lucky find - (I have two of these, actually)  ... they are NEW -

Before I put this on ebayIt would make a good gear bag with a little 
padding added inside.. and Lehman Brothers is embroidered right on it, 
no one will know you are carrying your valuable camera stuff, right?


I plan on starting the bidding at $24.99 _on ebay_- so if one if you 
want it for this price , ya got it.. the shipping will be whatever the 
shipping really is, (including delivery confirm slip if you are in 
USA...)   Boxed up this should weight between 3 - 4 lbs.  



http://annsan.smugmug.com/Other/stuff-4-sale/6001142_PMHFH/1/976420599_Juvdg/Large


Size: 10 x 21 x 10
Weight: 2 lbs , 13 oz
Material: 1680D Ballistic Nylon


Not it isn't technically a camera bag but certainly would work for one 
so I figure you wouldn't mind if  I offered it here.


Yup, you can pay with paypal...  my email address is how they know me.

Family nostalgia - Abu

2010-08-20 Thread Bob Sullivan
No, I'm not from a family of monkeys, but my daughter wanted some old sapshots.
The Disney movie Aladdin came out in 1992 and my daughter fell in love
with Abu the monkey.
We bought a wonderful likeness of Abu that we used as a doll and puppet.
For Halloween 1993, my daughter dress as Abu for 3rd grade 'Trick or Treat'-ing.

Now her boss has a little girl who loves Abu, so my daughter asked for
some old pictures.
After rummaging in the closet for a couple of hours, I found these...
(not the first 3, the rest)

http://picasaweb.google.com/rf.sullivan/Abu

(digital copies shot from old prints - some contrast build-up)

It was a trip down memory lane when my family was young and I took
many pictures of them.

Thoughts after the rummaging...
1.  Prints are lots easier to view than slides.  My closet has
thousands of both, but 75% are slides.
These are now harder to view and share.  I'll have to get scanning...  :-(
2.  Some of my best shots are really pretty good.  It's a nice to
compare to the posts here.
(I'd love to do a 'How To' picture book for parents some day.)
3.  Never underestimate the ability of photos to refresh your memories
after 25 or 30 years.
Lynn and I re-lived a lot of our experiences as I shared old prints.
We look forward to becoming grandparents some day.  :-)
4.  Take lots of photos.  The family will grow up quickly.  You'll
have the best time of your life!

Regards,  Bob S.

Bummer.  This is what I was trying to do and it was painfully tedious,
and very hit or miss (almost exclusively miss).

 In the Develop module you can use the Before / After view to see the effect

This helps a little, but I still feel like I'm stumbling around
blindly hoping to pull some lever to make a positive change.

After rummaging in the closet for a couple of hours, I found these...
(not the first 3, the rest)

http://picasaweb.google.com/rf.sullivan/Abu

(digital copies shot from old prints - some contrast build-up)

It was a trip down memory lane when my family was young and I took
many pictures of them.

Thoughts after the rummaging...
1.  Prints are lots easier to view than slides.  My closet has
thousands of both, but 75% are slides.
These are now harder to view and share.  I'll have to get scanning...  :-(
2.  Some of my best shots are really pretty good.  It's a nice to
compare to the posts here.
(I'd love to do a 'How To' picture book for parents some day.)
3.  Never underestimate the ability of photos to refresh your memories
after 25 or 30 years.
Lynn and I re-lived a lot of our experiences as I shared old prints.
We look forward to becoming grandparents some day.  :-)
4.  Take lots of photos.  The family will grow up quickly.  You'll
have the best time of your life!

Regards,  Bob S.

Re: Lightroom 2.7 question: how to edit 2 pictures side by side

2010-08-20 Thread Alastair Robertson
You can sync white settings in jpgs in Lightroom just fine.  Get the
white balance setting right in one photo and while still in the
develop module, select the other pictures that you want to duplicate
the white balance settings in.  You should see your master has a
whiter surround in the filmstrip than the other selected photos - this
indicates that it is the master selection and any sync commands will
use this photo's settings as the blueprint to apply to the others.
Click the Sync button (this only appears when you have more than one
photo selected) and a dialog box will come up.  Check the settings you
want to sync - in this case the white balance, and leave the others
boxes unchecked and then hit 'Synchronise' and it's done! Easy and
saves heaps of time. You can synch any develop settings this way

 Hi all,

 I have a set of photos I shot where the WB was set to Tungsten.
 Halfway through the shoot I chimped and fixed this.  Pictures were all
 shot in jpg on my K-x.  What I'd like to do is to copy the color
 settings from the good pictures over to the pictures that have
 tungsten white balance.  I tried selecting the appropriate pictures
 and using the sync feature.  No luck on that.

 How do you recommend I get the colors corrected and consistent?

 It seems like it would be very handy to be able to view 2 images (the
 good one and the bad one) simultaneously so that when I move the
 sliders around I can immediately know if I'm helping or hurting.  I
 was able to view side-by-side images only in the library module, but
 not in the develop module.  Am I missing something here?


 I've been lazy about digging out photos to share with the list.  Here
 is my apology, in the form of a gallery of my new son, who is now 2
 weeks old.  Most of the photos were from a DA40, but the last 4 were
 shot with my Super Tak 85/1.9.

PESO -- Circular Waterfall

2010-08-20 Thread P. J. Alling
 I've been doing a few new conversions on some old images.  I took this 
with my *ist-D not long after it arrived.  I also posted it as a PESO 
back then.  I think this is a better conversion.


http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20%20circularwaterfall.html

Equipment:  Pentax *ist-D w/Vermar 12mm fisheye.

Notes:  This is thought to be a Sigma lens, by those in the know, sold 
under a lot of different brand names from the late 60's though early 
80's.  A strange focal length for a Fish Eye, neither full frame or 
circular, it becomes a full frame on an APS-C sensor.  Almost prescient.


As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Interesting shot but the horizon is showing a lot of red CA.

Re: PESO -- Circular Waterfall

2010-08-20 Thread P. J. Alling

 1.) Then I guess this lens isn't for you then.

2.) Not to contradict, however the red isn't actually at the Horizon, 
it's at the border of the pond, and I believe that was mulch, and a red 
snow fence, that doesn't show up at this resolution as anything other 
than a red smear.  Now you have to think it must be nice to be able to 
put redwood mulch around the entire periphery of a large pond, I figure 
the Parks Department got a deal.


3.) The only place that there's actual Horizon, is in the upper left 
hand quadrant, (sky/treetop), and that actually looks kind of purple, 
don't you think?


Not that this lens doesn't exhibit a lot of CA, transitions in full size 
images, under the right circumstances, as you approach the edges and 
corners of the frame, look like rainbows, and even under the best 
circumstances you can't get rid of it,  but in the web size image it's 
almost unnoticeable.

Well, it's definitely iron, not tin.  Not the thickness of a cast iron skillet,
