About as I remember the winter mood of SW Norway, with the thin
sprinkling of snow and the low clouds. Nice rendering.

Re: GESO - My Svalbard images

Even when being there, it's easy to be fooled by the dimensions. Every
feature is further away and every ascent steeper than you expect. :-(

The rifle gal was our guide for the trip. She turned out to be quite a
personality. Enough merits already to deserve a NatGeo article all of
her own. I asked her if she had any big projects this year. She
shrugged and told me she had to work as guide for a couple of years to
save up for the next big one. This year her only plans were to cross
Greenland by ski, along the old Nansen route. She didn't like to talk
much about her personal projects, but I discovered her previous
achievement was to circumnavigate the islands of South Georgia by
kayak in a group of four, last November. :-)

 Amazing landscapes.
 One of my favorites is Snowscooter for the scale it shows.
 The sailboat dwarfed by the cliffs is magnificent as well.
 Who was the shooter carrying both rifle and camera?

Glad you like it, Ann! :-)
The night shot of the mine on the hillside may have been altered, I'm
not sure. I did the editing on the laptop, and tweaked it back and
forth after posting the PESO. This publishing was done from my desktop
PC, after transferring the whole bundle of shots from the laptop. I
quickly lose track of my versioning with those operations.

To be on assignment to do shoot stuff like that wouldn't bother me
much. But I don't think I'll be working for NatGeo anytime soon, Ann.

Met a Dutch photographer on assignment up there, btw. He was
commissioned by a travel agency.

 In context of the entire essay, the one that I had a trouble seeing
 (literally) is the least intersting, although I could
 see it in this presentation... did you lighten it a bit?  Did you show it
 first because you doubted it yourself and wanted feedback?
 Or was it the first one you worked on...

 There are so many here that are stand-outs  -
 If someone said we are curating a show and Joestein can only submit 10 or 15
 photos  from this lot, I think I'd pick these...
 but not in any order of preference... just in order of appearance  in your
 portfolio

 1, 4, 7,12,14,16,19,21,24,29, 31!! , 33,38,40,43!!,49


 Ok thats 16...   such gorgeous stuff!

 So when are you going to work for National Geographic or something???  I
 know, it wouldn't be fun if it was an assignment.

Re: GESO - My Svalbard images

The boat is a schooner that they anchor in Tempelfjorden each winter
and let it freeze in. It is then used for accommodation in an
adventure travel concept. Guests are picked up in Longyearbyen by
dog sled, and are entertained with excursions. The trip to
Longyearbyen takes about two hours on a nice day by snowmobile, I
think, so it's probably about the double by dog sled.

The last of the three images has a seal resting on the ice between me
and the boat. The seals carve breathing holes in the ice from
underneath, and come up to rest. That's where the polar bear hunts
them, btw.

It's called Thirty-six views of the Eiffel Tower, by Henri Riviere. You will
recognise the style of title from the names that Japanese woodcut artists
gave to their books, such as Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo,
and indeed the book is a collection of woodcuts by Riviere from the
beginning of the 20th C.

You can flip through some of the pages on Amazon:

pesos cormy and friend

2011-03-29 Thread Larry Colen
Before Walt leaves for Kentucky tomorrow, I brought him down to twin lakes 
beach / Schwann lagoon to see if we could find any cormorants.  Just before 
dark, I saw an osprey flying with a fish in its talons. Shortly thereafter a 
cormorant landed in the same tree, not far away.   I spent some time shooting 
from across the lagoon with my 300/2.8 adaptall and its 2x TC. Just as the 
light was fading, I realized that if I walked around the lagoon I could get a 
lot closer, and in the fading light, I'd do better with the 300/2.8 from 100 
feet below rather than 500 feet away across the lagoon.

I wasn't having tremendously good luck, I even tried the pop-up flash on the 
K-5. Just as I was walking away, I remembered I had my AF540 in my pack.  It 
took a few tries to get it to even fire, but once I did, and bumped up the ISO 
to 4,000, I got some decent shots.

You gonna finish that?

These and a few more that I've picked out are in this set:

I've learned that for birding, especially late in the day, a monopod just isn't 
enough. I'm gaining more respect for how skill, and equipment, intensive 
birding is, and will probably stick with something easy, like photographing 
dancers in dark rooms.

GESO: young females now with 3200ISO grain (K5)

2011-03-29 Thread Krisjanis Linkevics
At one point in that portrait shootout I got tired of stealing people's light 
with the flash trigger I had smuggled in (and making them wait for the flashes 
to recycle) and bumped ISO up from 80 to 3200 to make do with the pilot lights 
only. Now ISO3200 in studio is something I never thought I even wanted to do 
but the effect is quite pleasing (even if I say so myself).

 Incidentally, I bought a beautiful book about Paris a few weeks ago which I
 recommend to everyone who likes the place. 
 
 It's called Thirty-six views of the Eiffel Tower, by Henri Riviere. You will
 recognise the style of title from the names that Japanese woodcut artists
 gave to their books, such as Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo,
 and indeed the book is a collection of woodcuts by Riviere from the
 beginning of the 20th C.
 
 You can flip through some of the pages on Amazon:

I like these, but anything shot in minimal light is going to be a compromise. 
The eye reflections can be fixed in PS, but it's a lot of work. But the flash 
is your friend when shooting birds. Used as fill, it's very helpful because 
you're frequently shooting up toward the sky when photographing birds, so 
backlit is common.

Something is badly wrong there. I'm in China and quite a few things

Being back

2011-03-29 Thread Boris Liberman

Hello there.

It seems that the hostilities have paused for the time being. I am 
pretty much back to my normal mode of functioning.


I sincerely appreciate everyone's comments and concerns expressed on and 
off the list which in fact quite amazes me - to know that so many people 
do care.


Again, in order to negate even the most remote possibility of the flame, 
I am asking to please leave this message unanswered or at least not 
answered in a way that could provoke the other person to respond in tone.


As a matter of on-topic point, I should say that this weekend Galia and 
I spent about an hour choosing and polishing her best photos over past 3 
years (since she was 6 and shooting with Optio W30). All together 25 
photos were chosen, a JAlbum book ordered and now we're anticipating its 
arrival. In my somewhat biased view, Galia is making steady progress in 
photography as well as in her other activities.


Thanks again for your kind words!

Boris

 Wonderful lighting!
 
 Jack :)

Now that you say it, #31 IS slightly red, I think it works for me but will see 
if a little adjustment is in order. #33 is more of a documentation piece - it 
was a portrait session so I don't think there are going to be any more of those 
full body shots from other shooters.

Available light is something I am more comfortable with so ISOs of 1600 and 
more are my natural habitat. K-5 really shines here - better noise and more 
megapixels means I can retain more details.

Alas this portrait session has led me to feed my LBA - F85 Soft and K50/1.2 are 
in the mail... My wallet weeps but the LBA monster can sleep.

Thanks for comments - Paul Sorenson, Paul Stenquist, Bruce, Steven, Charles,

Thanks Paul,

I'm working on taking shots like the skis at the door. Shooting just
landscapes all the time is my default state of mind.

 Some truly excellent shots here. Among my favorites are the skis at the door, 
 the street at night, the distant town at night, and many more. Well done!

  All extremely well done, Bruce! CC; #31 appears
 slightly red and I'm
  trying to decide how well #33 works for me.
  Wonderful lighting!
  
  Jack :)
 
 Now that you say it, #31 IS slightly red, I think it works
 for me but will see if a little adjustment is in order. #33
 is more of a documentation piece - it was a portrait session
 so I don't think there are going to be any more of those
 full body shots from other shooters.
 
 Available light is something I am more comfortable with so
 ISOs of 1600 and more are my natural habitat. K-5 really
 shines here - better noise and more megapixels means I can
 retain more details.
 
 Alas this portrait session has led me to feed my LBA - F85
 Soft and K50/1.2 are in the mail... My wallet weeps but the
 LBA monster can sleep.
 
 Thanks for comments - Paul Sorenson, Paul Stenquist, Bruce,
 Steven, Charles, Jack.

 I could probably count my rolls of Kodachrome on one hand.  

One of the few times I shot Kodachrome (I've probably done about 6 rolls in my

(1982).

I had borrowed a friend's 210mm zoom lens because I just KNEW I was going to be 
way back from the stage.  Stadium seating meant: get there early, be close.  
Get there late, be in back.

However - the unusually-warm temperatures that summer had the audience dropping 
out like flies and I just kept shifting forward to fill the gaps.   By the time 
Mick and the boys hit the stage I was in the front row, on a sunny day, with a 
telephoto lens and crisp, sharp slide film.  I can read the engravings on 
Keith's guitar and make out the teeth on his skull ring.  I was pleased.

It's still a bear to scan, though.

 Hello there.

 It seems that the hostilities have paused for the time being. I am pretty
 much back to my normal mode of functioning.

 I sincerely appreciate everyone's comments and concerns expressed on and off
 the list which in fact quite amazes me - to know that so many people do
 care.

 Again, in order to negate even the most remote possibility of the flame, I
 am asking to please leave this message unanswered or at least not answered
 in a way that could provoke the other person to respond in tone.

 As a matter of on-topic point, I should say that this weekend Galia and I
 spent about an hour choosing and polishing her best photos over past 3 years
 (since she was 6 and shooting with Optio W30). All together 25 photos were
 chosen, a JAlbum book ordered and now we're anticipating its arrival. In my
 somewhat biased view, Galia is making steady progress in photography as well
 as in her other activities.

 Thanks again for your kind words!

 kris

I'm going to be constructively critical.

#32 is #1
#34 is #2
#31 is #3
#33 is #4

#1  Nice pose.  Usually a high-contrast shot is left for male subjects, but you 
pulled it off nicely.  Perhaps a reflector on the right to add a bit more 
content to the hair while still maintaining contrast would have been a little 
helpful.

#2  I like the tonality.  You were able to maintain the shadows on her arms to 
some tonal variety -- something many would miss.  (A lot of digital bw sucks.) 
 Perhaps dodge the eyes a bit.  The whites of her eyes are too gray.  Again, 
you've done a nice job with a high-contrast project.

** If possible I'd like to have a color file of this to see what I could do in 
bw conversion.

#3  Close-ups like this scare me.  Not her.  Just the idea.  I'd never attempt 
one.  But you did control the reflection off her eyes.  (Many amateurs miss 
those details.)  Well done.

#4  I have to be really hard on this one.  The angle doesn't work.  The 
background and surroundings are cluttered.  But her expression *can* work if 
she has a context -- looking @ something or with some purpose.  This is the 
only bad one of the bunch but even so it's a starting point for future efforts.

Sincerely,

 easy, like photographing dancers in dark rooms.

Claire Denis. Fantastic film.

The second is too processed and almost plasticky, for me.
The rest are really pleasing, especially given the circumstances.

Thanks for inspiring us for using ISO 3200!

Starting with the main page, click upcoming events near the lower

different than the one Mark linked.

It does say April 1st.

I'm going to skip it this year.  The dread of driving that far has
outweighed the desire to be there.  But the motel is open for weary

Walt,
Thanks for the reference.
In '67 a close friend was graduating from MIT in Physics, and
heading to grad school in astronomy at CalTech.  We talked about other life, and
he point out how inevitable it was given the size of the universe.
This composite photo helps prove the proposition.

Going to sit this one out. Nice captures, very K-5ish too :)
My main enablement also was the bundle of K-5/DFA100 and my first pictures were 
also of female close relatives, our cat and winter. Weird and funny feeling.
