Soo late on this one. I bet someone has already remarked on Camera Work.

I especially like the "Millenium" in the corner. We had a folk hero in

Interesting, why would you say that. The No Child Left behind bill was

would you not want to believe that Global Climate Change wasn't claimed

That sounds like a security issue. Microsoft added a layer of
precaution against downloaded executables at some point which may well
have been XP SP3. You can check if this is an issue with your .exe by
right-clicking it in Explorer and choose properties. On one of the
tabs (possibly the one you open by default) there will be an
explanation about downloaded files being potentially harmful and
bla-bla, but also a button that allows you to clear it of the
"quarantine". You may have to restart your system afterwards.

But as the others have said, you're probably better off with T'bird.

Regarding the old mail stores, maybe you can use this extension to T'bird:

Funny pic, but tragic how little it takes to stir the climate trolls,

I agree we have a terminology problem.  Climate change is too big an
issue to fit into a tabloid mind. Sadly, there are too many people
these days unable to rise above that format.

That is a statement bereft of empathy.

It is also a misunderstanding of how natural selection works. When an
abrubt change in climate occurs, the general case seems to be
extinction followed by spreading of other organisms into vacant
niches. So "life" will adapt, but not necessarily "we". Even as one of
the most successful species ever, in terms of flexibility in our
requirements to the environment.

The crap factor, bovine or otherwise, is just as high with the deniers
of climate change than with the alarmists. Sadly.

I see no one yet has brought up a way to set the monitor brightness below what 
the F14/F15 keys allow you to dim the display.

My room is dimly lit. The iMac monitor is too bright to even look at at full 
intensity. So I set brightness to the lowest setting, then use a program called 
Dark Adapted which goes into your graphic card brightness adjustments. This 
allows me to dim the monitor to 50 to 100 % of the monitor's lowest brightness 
control setting. I keep mine at 60% all the time.
 
If you turn off the computer, when it comes back on, the monitor brightness 
will go back to full, so it must be set again with the keyboard, or in 
preferences. But the Dark Adapted slider control that sits up on your menu bar, 
will remain at 60% (in my case). Does not work all that well on Laptops, but 
they tend to be less bright anyway.

There is a set up screen where you sit your brightness so that you can discern 
between the two darkest blocks on a stepped scale, while keeping the two 
whitest block defined as well.

Sorry, P.J., I think you failed in that endeavour.

You must also include the carbon locked in minerals, if you want to be
pedantic. Your problem then, is that you find that nearly all
molecules on the planet contain some amounts of carbon. It's also one
of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust.

It's like Dan pointed at early on in this thread. These concepts are
too big to fit into most people's minds. One needs to be a scientist
specialising in the field to take it all in.

If you were to pay a price for their goods and services that rose them
out of poverty, you wouldn't buy. And the flip side of poverty has
always been wealth. Both are part of the same problem.

Soo late on this one. I bet someone has already remarked on Camera Work.

I especially like the "Millenium" in the corner. We had a folk hero in 
Sydney who mysteriously wrote "Eternity" on the pavement. The one word 
has a solemn koan-ness to it.

I'm late to the party here, too
I like it a lot ... but were it mine, Id crop out the Milleium sign and 
slightly adjust the perspective so the edge of the building on
the far left is vertical.  

Of course, the reason I'd crop out the sign is personal as it otherwise 
looks like the Chicago I grew up in ... when "Millineum" park was
Grant's Park and since you used the sepia toning it would be apprpriate 
to do it :-)

Funny pic, but tragic how little it takes to stir the climate trolls,
eh? I woke up too. :-)

I agree we have a terminology problem.  Climate change is too big an
issue to fit into a tabloid mind. Sadly, there are too many people
these days unable to rise above that format.

Dave's new iMac has a lot more adjustability than the previous
generation iMac's did in this regard. The iMac 24" were particularly
difficult in this regard.

But the easier solution than installing all these system add ones is
to simply raise the light level in the room. You cannot adjust tonal
values and colors properly with your eyes dark-adapted to ambient
illumination below a reasonable reading illumination level. No one
can.

I had the sibling V700 model (very little different from the V750).
It's as good as you can get before spending for a Nikon Coolscan 9000.
Once I had the V700, I saw no reason to spend for the Coolscan because
if I really needed better results it was easier to rent time on the
local pro-shop's Imacon Flextight scanning equipment.

As it turned out, I did so little film scanning after buying the V700
it went unused the vast majority of the time. I sold it to a friend
and hung on to my ancient Epson 2450 for more prosaic scanning needs.

At 4.8 megabytes, you could probably upsize it to about 12 megabytes using 
PhotoShops binary resizing (at the "smoother" setting). That might yield a 
decent 8 x 10 with around 170 dpi.

humans since the Industrial Revolution, both in terms of pollution and
the destruction of the earth's natural defenses (deforestation, and

 BTW, there is no such thing as "global warming."  It is more correctly
 referred to a "climate change," and more that warming the entire
 planet, it is bringing us more extreme weather of all types.  If we
 keep calling it "global warming," people suffering from unusual cold
 and extreme snows fall to connect what is happening to them with the
 world-wide changes affecting us all.

Re: Protesting global warming

[Jeffery Smith]

I think that some people think that the concept of the greenhouse effect and 
global warming were somehow invented by Al Gore. This concept is not new. And 
if you look at the greenhouse effect skeptics, they are also united in their 
party affiliation. That would be fine if it were a political issue rather than 
a scientific issue.

By the way, the same skeptics believe that evolution is a farce as well.

Yes, it's an upsizing option in Photoshop. The only better alternative might be 
Genuine Fractals, which eliminates the pixels in upsizing. Sometimes it works 
wonders, sometimes it doesn't. It's frequently use by ad agencies to produce 
huge billboard photos from modestly sized originals.

Making a selection for The Book

[Stan Halpin]

The last two years I worked on my own to select images to be considered for 
inclusion in the PDML Annual. 
(http://www.robertstech.com/pdmlbook/pdmlbook.php)
This year I took a slightly different approach - I narrowed my selection down 
to 6 images and then asked for others' opinions. The two "judges" were Meg and 
her niece Mary (who just happened to pass through this morning to use our 
internet connection). I went with their consensus on the "top 3". The three 
which were not selected are here:

http://smhalpin.posterous.com

I probably would have sent in the barbecue shot but neither of them 
particularly liked it; Mary at first selected that one but then realized it was 
hamburger rather than ribs.

Actually, I don't care much when I'm just out and about. I calibrate
the screen and use it for quick checks and quick edits. If I'm going
to use the laptop for any serious work and printing, I turn off the
option and then run the color calibration fresh. But most of the time
by that point I am at my desk and just hook it up to the desktop
display for final editing and printing.

missed focus on dance portraits

[Larry Colen]

I'm going through my dance portraits from Saturday night, and I'm finding a lot 
where the K20 missed focus. I was mostly shooting with the 16-50 on the K20, at 
about f/6.3. I could have cranked the strobe up higher, but I didn't want my 
home depot backdrop to also be in perfect focus.  There was one batch where the 
back of the leader's sweater was in focus, but the dancers faces were just 
slightly soft. I don't know if this was mis focused on the sweater, or just a 
blown focus where DoF still caught the sweater, because there are others where 
everything is sharp. 

I've got a bunch more that are simply blown focus. It could simply be pilot 
error because when people are dancing I lock focus, and hit the focus lock so 
that the shutter will activate when I press it. I'm afraid that I don't trust 
the responsiveness of the autofocus, and may be screwing myself up there.  I 
expect that the problem is a team effort between the camera and myself, 
exacerbated by my not trusting because the focus is slow and perhaps a bit 
unreliable.

Or, as a wise man once said, "Aaarrgggh".

Yes, thanks, Paul. I've used "Bicubic smoother", but ever "Fractals."

Yes, it's an upsizing option in Photoshop. The only better
alternative might be Genuine Fractals, which eliminates the
pixels in upsizing. Sometimes it works wonders, sometimes it
doesn't. It's frequently use by ad agencies to produce huge
billboard photos from modestly sized originals.
Paul


I think Genuine Fractals has been renamed "Perfect Resize".

Same product, newest version - Photoshop plug-in costing about $200 last 
time I looked at it. Don't know if there's a stand-alone version.


Haven't been able to justify the cost as yet.

Have you gone through the focus calibration with this lens?

Have you tried AF-C?

With moving objects I'd never try to use focus lock, myself. I'd just 
turn off AF altogether.

They aren't really moving that much, sometimes not at all.

And, of course, the focus is close enough that on the camera screen it looks 
fine.

Re: OT - Enablement of the fluffy kind

[Christian]

Thanks to everyone who replied (and even those that didn't; but chances 
are they won't read this either...).


He's a Samoyed; a Nordic breed originally used to pull sleds, herd 
reindeer, hunt walruses and polar bears and  a companion to keep its 
human family warm during the cold Siberian winters.  Males get to about 
23in tall and weigh up to 60lbs (that's like 1.5m tall and 234kg 
according to my web-based real-measurements-to-fancy-euro-scale 
converter.


The whole family is very excited to bring him home in a few weeks.

No, because most of the shots were in focus.

most-used glass improved the sharpness of my subsequent shots.




Have you tried AF-C?

No I haven't.  I probably should.


With moving objects I'd never try to use focus lock, myself. I'd just turn off 
AF altogether.

They aren't really moving that much, sometimes not at all.

And, of course, the focus is close enough that on the camera screen it looks 
fine.


Hoo boy!  On the rear screen *everything* looks fine. I've learned to 
completely distrust that, except for the histogram. I have preview off 
by default and incidentally that also speeds up shooting enormously. The 
K20 is more responsive without having to produce previews, and I'm much 
less tempted to chimp, so *I'm* more responsive.


The only way I can judge focus from the rear screen is to put on my 
glasses and crank the magnification up about as high as it'll go. All 
that trouble means I rarely do it unless, eg, I'm doing portraiture and 
I need to know if I need a few more shots in a given pose.

RE: missed focus on dance portraits

[John Sessoms]

From: Larry Colen

I'm going through my dance portraits from Saturday night, and I'm
finding a lot where the K20 missed focus. I was mostly shooting with
the 16-50 on the K20, at about f/6.3. I could have cranked the strobe
up higher, but I didn't want my home depot backdrop to also be in
perfect focus.  There was one batch where the back of the leader's
sweater was in focus, but the dancers faces were just slightly soft.
I don't know if this was mis focused on the sweater, or just a blown
focus where DoF still caught the sweater, because there are others
where everything is sharp.

I've got a bunch more that are simply blown focus. It could simply be
pilot error because when people are dancing I lock focus, and hit the
focus lock so that the shutter will activate when I press it. I'm
afraid that I don't trust the responsiveness of the autofocus, and
may be screwing myself up there.  I expect that the problem is a team
effort between the camera and myself, exacerbated by my not trusting
because the focus is slow and perhaps a bit unreliable.

Or, as a wise man once said, "Aaarrgggh".


Something like this I'd probably go with what I call a "zone focus", 
setting it up so the near and far limits of the D.O.F. bracket the 
dancers and not even try focusing on the individual couples.


That used to be pretty easy to do with manual focus lenses that had 
D.O.F. scales.

PDML Annual

[John Sessoms]

Making some progress. Went through my work in 2010 and have identified 
10 images of 7 different subjects I think are worth submitting. 
Shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down to three.


I have two subjects that are definitely "in", just have to choose which 
of the three treatments of the first subject is going to be THE one.


The second subject only has one image, making for an easy choice.

Still have to choose from the remaining 5 subjects for the third submission.

The subjects and I were both moving around enough, not quickly, but enough, 
that a simple zone focus probably wouldn't work.  I think that what I was 
trying to do was use autofocus to get close enough and use depth of field to 
cover any slop.  

I don't seem to have used enough depth of field.

I'll also need to try to dial in a couple of the lenses.

I agree that it was a clever photo.

Unfortunately, this is one of those topics that people are very unlikely to 
change their minds about, no matter what evidence is presented. Fortunately, 
assuming climate change does occur, it probably won't get really band until I'm 
either dead, or too old to care, so it's not really my problem.
