Great many thanks, Jaume. Well, the idea behind this was both to 
showcase some of my work which I personally find worth showing (I 
couldn't say "best" or "better" because it will be too pretentious, 
really). And also to show some of the things in my country that I find 
beautiful or funny or fascinating. You know, let the viewer see my 
country through my eyes, more or less.


So your comments are most welcome, with all honesty and brutality. And 
sincerety.

Semi-OT: Preparing photos to print on a color laser

2011-05-03 Thread John Sessoms
I bought a color laser printer a while back to print business cards. The 
laser printer duplexes and I intend to print on 110# Ivory Card Stock. I 
can fit two of the cards on one sheet.


My design is a two-sided, tri-fold card (3-1/2" x 6") with 3 small 
portraits on one side and a "fine-art" landscape on the other with room 
for the appropriate text along the bottom edge on both sides. It folds 
up to the size of a standard business card.


I created an image template in Photoshop that I can import into my word 
processor. I figured out how to import the template twice so that the 
images on each side line up properly. I export the word processor 
document as a PDF that I can print directly from Acrobat Reader.


I'm creating the PDF file on my laptop & transferring the PDF file to 
this computer that has the color laser printer using a thumb drive. 
Eventually I'll get my network transferred back here to Raleigh and will 
be able to print to the color laser directly from the laptop.


In the meantime ...

What I want to know is there anything I particularly need to do to the 
images themselves before saving them as a jpeg to import into my word 
processor? My first test run on regular paper looks pretty dark, with 
the shadows kind of blocked up.


Would profiling the printer help since I'm not printing from Photoshop?

Just to let you know why I haven't been so active on the list lately.

Some of you might enjoy this
http://z-fotokurs.blogspot.com/
It's my blog about my photo classes. Unfortunately in norwegian, but
pictures you do understand.

The top picture is a collective work, by me and my studio mates. The
local paper challenged us to make a self portrait. We took it very
seriously as you can see ;-)
I've cropped it to make it suitable as a header.

Basically I've been doing beginners photo classes. Quite successfully
I might add :-)
I'll probably hold a more advanced class soon to. I tend to think that
I'm a better teacher than photographer.

You might also appreciate this post

Re: GESO Jazz at the Gate

2011-05-03 Thread Ann Sanfedele
I started out shooting digital using manual white balance, got out of 
that habit because the AWB on the Canon was great...
and the AWB on the istD in the variety of outside light one might 
encounter has worked  well...
(all the photos you have seen of mine in the past three months were shot 
using AWB and minor dickering in photoshop)

and, of course, I post process.

I was only shooting the music scene  hoping to get something Dom could 
use but I wouldnt let him.  after that, I was playing around
at home with changing the white balance manually with the istd 
(remember, I've only had it since January)


THe annoying thing is to change the ISo or the White Balance I have to 
turn the knob off of AV  , change it, and then swithc back to shooting 
mode... slows one down a bit and sometimes I was forgetting and tried to 
shoot when the camera was on the ISP or WB
button.  I'll get used to it eventually but it doesn make one miss the 
LX LOL'


anyway, it did teach me that using the correct WB setting INDOORS was 
important , especially in low light situations with

the istD

Ann, I've found it best to select a manual WB. I usually have mine set 
to Cloudy or Daylight. Then you just select a more appropriate WB 
during PP. Sometimes I shoot something gray in the room (backs of many 
keyboards are good) so I can use the LR (ACR) magic eyedropper later.


But if you can count the number of photons bouncing around the room 
with the fingers on one hand, it's time to take up a collection for a 
new camera body.  I'm still waiting for my K-5 ship to come in.  In 
the meantime, just enjoy the music, maybe take up pencil sketching. 
Your bad room experience sure sounds like a worst-case scenario -- 
sorry to hear it.

The biggest problem was that the AWB let me down - and I didn't have 
a way to lean on anything...


worse, the camera was noisy... and I had not brought the tripod.
The lighting was from track lights meant to light the artwork in the 
loft.
The light was low because they musicians were sweltering and the 
windows ahd to stay closed because of the neighborhood.

Dom's girlfriend had a flimsy tripod for video shooting... when she

Thank you, Ann.

My winning formula in these small, dark music venues:

- fast, short tele prime (eg 50mm 1.4), wide open,
- high ISO (eg 1600 on the K20),
- RAW,
- aperture priority,
- places/things to brace yourself against while shooting (chair 
arms, table tops, walls),

- some noise reduction s/w in PP (LR3 is doing it for me now)
- if the brightest light is only on the musicians, use center or 
spot metering; otherwise matrix should be fine.


Lastly: worst-case, be prepared to pack it in and just enjoy the 
music. :-)

Re: The Uncommon Adder

2011-05-03 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
I disagree.  Back in my days as a physics major and then as a
navigator, I had a number of slide rules, in both the linear style and
the circular style.  None were designed to do addition (or
subtraction).  They could perform those operations only by indirect
means, such as converting the problem first into one of division, or
by using the L scale back and forth, and reading the result at the
zero mark.

I would never say that addition is easy on a slide rule;  quite the
contrary.  I certainly dispute the statement " that's what they do
best."

Actually, adding on a slide rule is really easy - that's what they do best.

The problem is that the example shown doesn't have linear scales (or, to be
pedantic, it only appears to have one, and the cursor doesn't cover it). My
(double-sided) slide rule has rather more scales than that, including linear.

(IIRC, a single linear scale is often labelled as the 'L' scale)

Re: OT - again, about rights

2011-05-03 Thread David Parsons
The thing about police (besides places that are trying to pass laws
restricting photographing police) is with shooting video of them in
states that require two-party notification before you record audio.
You by filming implicitly give your consent, but the police are not
giving consent and they can get you that way.

The two-party rule is why you'll hear the "This call is being recorded
for training, etc, etc" when you call some companies.  That is a
notification that you are being recorded, and if you continue on the
line, you are consenting to the recording.

Re: GESO Jazz at the Gate

2011-05-03 Thread Bruce Walker
Ann, I've found it best to select a manual WB. I usually have mine set 
to Cloudy or Daylight. Then you just select a more appropriate WB during 
PP. Sometimes I shoot something gray in the room (backs of many 
keyboards are good) so I can use the LR (ACR) magic eyedropper later.


But if you can count the number of photons bouncing around the room with 
the fingers on one hand, it's time to take up a collection for a new 
camera body.  I'm still waiting for my K-5 ship to come in.  In the 
meantime, just enjoy the music, maybe take up pencil sketching. Your bad 
room experience sure sounds like a worst-case scenario -- sorry to hear it.

The biggest problem was that the AWB let me down - and I didn't have a 
way to lean on anything...


worse, the camera was noisy... and I had not brought the tripod.
The lighting was from track lights meant to light the artwork in the 
loft.
The light was low because they musicians were sweltering and the 
windows ahd to stay closed because of the neighborhood.


wasnt fun...

Dom's girlfriend had a flimsy tripod for video shooting... when she 
abandoned it I tried to use it...but it didn't help much


anyway - between my instability and the digital noise I couldn't ever 
show them to you guys.

Thank you, Ann.

My winning formula in these small, dark music venues:

- fast, short tele prime (eg 50mm 1.4), wide open,
- high ISO (eg 1600 on the K20),
- RAW,
- aperture priority,
- places/things to brace yourself against while shooting (chair arms, 
table tops, walls),

- some noise reduction s/w in PP (LR3 is doing it for me now)
- if the brightest light is only on the musicians, use center or spot 
metering; otherwise matrix should be fine.


Lastly: worst-case, be prepared to pack it in and just enjoy the 
music. :-)

This is from the 3rd concert I ever attended.  October 29, 1980 - I was
15 years old.

All shots with Ektachrome 200 in the K1000... using either the 50mm f/2.0
or the Takumar 135 f/2.5 (which I still use!)

Not earth-shatteringly good, but fun to see the costumes and lights.

Re: PUG Extra - PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses

2011-05-03 Thread Ann Sanfedele
Not much chance of that unless Mark has them stashed somewhere - I don't 
remember what it was.  In fact, I had to

go look at the first book to see which of mine was in then...

I THINK I sent 3 the first time but I may not have.  I definitely only 
sent two for this one and they both are there.


Cheers,
ann

Do they have to be from this year?  I'm vaguely remembering one that I 
submittted for the first one that didnt get in.
   



I thought about that but I think restricting it to 2011 would be more
topical.  Maybe we could see that older one as a PESO?

G'day all

A week or two back several people provided links to their photos that
were not selected for the 2011 PDML Annual. I suggested a special PUG to
display those images together, so that we could all enjoy them.

The PUG Submission form has been updated for this special Extra Gallery
and is now open for submissions.  You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/

Image constraints are the same as for the monthly PUGs:

* Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
* Max file size: 300k

The cut off date for submissions will be about 17 May.

Come on! Let's see 'em.

Now - can anyone suggest a better title for the gallery?  As most are
aware, the idea of submitting more than one photo for consideration for
the Annual was to give the editors scope to select images that best
fitted the context and layout of the Album.  This means that images not
included in the Annual were probably of similar quality to those that
were included.  So, I don't think "refuses" is an accurate title, but my
feeble brain can't come up with anything better.

Like the first and third better than the middle one...

The third one has really nice geometry... so.. did he hit the ball out

PESO - Tres photo hombres

Just to let you know why I haven't been so active on the list lately.

Some of you might enjoy this
http://z-fotokurs.blogspot.com/
It's my blog about my photo classes. Unfortunately in norwegian, but
pictures you do understand.

The top picture is a collective work, by me and my studio mates. The
local paper challenged us to make a self portrait. We took it very
seriously as you can see ;-)
I've cropped it to make it suitable as a header.

Basically I've been doing beginners photo classes. Quite successfully
I might add :-)
I'll probably hold a more advanced class soon to. I tend to think that
I'm a better teacher than photographer.

So do I.  It's just that it might suggest that the images that didn't
get into the book could be incorrectly viewed as being 'inferior' to
those that did, and that gives the wrong impression of the selection
process.  

Still, if most are happy with "Salon des refusés", we might stick with
it.

Thanks, Bob. It was a bit of a challenge and a fun too...

Here is a link to the galleries:

The photos are in the same order as they appear in the book. Thus each
pair of photos is a spread.

Accidentally one of the photos of Galia's book is obviously heavily
processed (by me). That's my mistake, really.

As you can see, most of these are PESOs, PUGs and some of them
appeared in PDML Annual books by Mark. But I should say that in print
they look better than on the screen. At least to me, although of
course I am not a disinterested party here.

Re: OT - again, about rights

2011-05-03 Thread John Francis

In the US, if you are in a place open to the general public, and
no prior restrictions were put in place as a condition of your
admission, you can generally make non-commercial use of your
own images, videos, etc.

There are some restrictions (you aren't allowed to photograph
the TSA screeners at the airport, for example), but that's the
general rule.
 
Mind you, you'll get a whole lot of grief if you try to take
pictures in a public area showing small children at play.
And some jurisdictions try to claim it's an offence to take
pictures of the Police if they don't want you to.  While as far
as I know no such legislation has stood up to a legal challenge,
you can end up with a whole lot of grief if you insist.

More relevant to your case, perhaps, might be the example of
seasonal displays at shopping malls (Santa's Grotto, the Easter
Bunny, etc.).  There will usually be explicit notices stating
that using your own camera is prohibited.  While I'm not sure
that they could actually do anything to prevent you (other than
ask you to leave), I'd generally recommend that one should comply
with such requests.  But in the absence of such a notice, there's
not a lot they can do a posteori.

the first one is particularly good, apart from those damned circular adverts
on the hoarding. They were the first things I saw and they confused me
because I thought they were balls. I don't normally advocate cloning, but...

Re: A bit of a boast and my JAlbum book

2011-05-03 Thread Jaume Lahuerta
No problem, all the contrary. Maybe it will be easier with examples:

I find some pictures 'beautiful', even without a context:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP01863.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IMGP1955-Edit.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IMGP5291-Edit-2.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP16958.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/ISTD_1741.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11335.html

(...)

Others are nice, mainly for the moment showed:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP12896.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP12825.html


And I find others more so-so...
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K5_00854.html

Not bad but I prefer the following one and it is a bit redundant too. However, 
I 
am sure that a double page in a photo book with both pictures looks very nice 
(I 
am very used to see fruit trees in my home town though).
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_01676.html

(This is for me a 'descriptive' picture, but not specially beautiful 
visually...maybe I am missing a joke with the traffic sign, then it will go to 
category 2 ;-) )
Another 'just' descriptive:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_08307.html


Also, the two 'desert' landscapes are interesting, but the light is too 
'vertical', which for me makes them more descriptive than 'artistic' (I have to 
admit that this happens a lot to me when traveling and not being able to chose 
when to photograph)
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11186.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11154.html


Other with a too 'normal' light:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11448.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP13978.html


I hope that you get what I am trying to say. I admit that, how I said before, I 
am kind of used to some of the subjects shown so I need special light or point 
of view to get my attention.

Honest and brutal, as you like to say...
;-)

Nothing Says Spring Like Baseball

In Springtime a young man's fancy turns to baseball - if she plans on 
being his fancy very long.


Three sports pictures taken with my nifty 50 mm manual lens. It was all 
I had with me when I came upon this college game.


Have a look make a comment. Thanks Don

Re: PUG Extra - PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses

2011-05-03 Thread Toralf Lund

On 5/3/11 15:39, Brian Walters wrote:

G'day all

A week or two back several people provided links to their photos that
were not selected for the 2011 PDML Annual. I suggested a special PUG to
display those images together, so that we could all enjoy them.

The PUG Submission form has been updated for this special Extra Gallery
and is now open for submissions.  You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/
Submitted now ;-) I only got one in the book (being an *amateur* 
photographer and all), so there were two rejects, and I sent both. Is 
that acceptable? If not, you'll have to pick one, and I'll save the 
other for the PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses Refuses...


- Toralf


Image constraints are the same as for the monthly PUGs:

* Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
* Max file size: 300k

The cut off date for submissions will be about 17 May.

Come on! Let's see 'em.

Now - can anyone suggest a better title for the gallery?  As most are
aware, the idea of submitting more than one photo for consideration for
the Annual was to give the editors scope to select images that best
fitted the context and layout of the Album.  This means that images not
included in the Annual were probably of similar quality to those that
were included.  So, I don't think "refuses" is an accurate title, but my
feeble brain can't come up with anything better.


Cheers

Igor, get away with what you can or you'll spend more time worrying
about what you have got and not enough time worrying about what you
should have got!

Ignorance is bliss. Shoot til they tell you to stop. Never hand over
material or delete. Be friendly, ask where you can, feign indifference
where you can't. I get people telling me I can't film all the time. I
listen sympathetically and nod reassuringly and carry on doing what I

It depends on the legal system that has jurisdiction.

Just look at the issues that Google is having with StreetView;
there's no uniformity in what they are or are not allowed to
do - it has to be separately adjudicated in each country.

Boris,
That's a wonderful project.  It makes me want to see Israel in person!
Your pictures are interesting and of varied subject matter.
Some of the new architecture captures are stunning, and
some of the old landscapes are iconic.  Very nice job!

Beautiful project.
I envy seeing a "finished project, by the way ;)
Stylistically (as if I know enough about this), the photos differ widely.
However, the theme justifies it!
I wish I could start imagining the start of a similar attempt here...

Re: OT - again, about rights

2011-05-03 Thread Igor Roshchin

Larry,

I am interested in the legal aspect of the discussed situation: 
Does the subject of a video, if he/she didn't object/restrict the 
recording as it was happening openly, have a right to make any 
demands with respect to the non-commercial "distribution" of the video 
(if no money is made from that/charged).


As for the attitude of different instructors, - this is a completely
separate issue. My take on it is that the best instructors
do not fear their short (usually without any explanations) class
summaries to be posted. 
Brief class summaries do not replace class participation and
instructions; nor they compete with the instructional videos sold by the
instructors. 
These videos are a great advertisement for the events and instructors
Several dance instructors thanked me for posting videos of their 
demonstrations on Youtube.

Those instructors who seriously think that their class can be replaced 
with a short, typically 1-2 min, summary, - are not worth my time
for going to their lessons.

This is one of my favorites among your images in this series.  I like
the balance between the outside and inside portions of the frame.  It
is difficult (for me at least) to get a good balance between the
bright outdoor light and the softer indoor light.  I also like the

better lenses. They arrived in the mail on Saturday.

get my posts/replies returned to me. I seem to remember this coming up
in the past but don't remember if there is a solution or a work around.
Anybody remember?


the solution i use (for those lists i read on gmail) is to filter all my 
list email into mailboxes; in the Gmail paradigm, filtering is done by 
applying a "label" to messages as they come in, and specifying in the 
rule that the messages should also "skip the inbox"; you can then treat 
all messages with a given label much as you'd treat a mailbox in a 
traditional email client, and your own messages will be included in that 
view; there's still a difference -- messages you send will be treated as 
already read, so they will be included in the conversations (dumbed-down 
threads), but they won't appear to be new, unread messages


you can also treat Gmail as an IMAP server and use a desktop email 
client to manage your email


Gmail's help system and other sites have decent tutorials on these

They have the right to ask, but don't have any legal recourse if you don't 
comply. 

Instructors often make money off of selling instructional videos, and don't 
want other videos to wipe out the market for those. If they get a lot of grief 
over one case like this, they may just not let people videotape them after 
classes at all in the future.  The best solution would be to try to have a 
reasonable discussion with them, find out their motivations for taking the 
video down and see whether it would really work towards their ultimate goals.

It's too bad that you aren't on FB, this would be a great question for Bug 
Brockway's Dance Question of the Day.

Thanks, Jaume. But if you would care to elaborate (off-list if you see
fit or on list, as I certain don't mind), I would be most grateful. It
will certainly help me improve on my next effort.

Some nice pictures there, Boris, thanks for sharing.
Others are not that impressive if looked separately, but I understand  that 
they 
are part of the story that you want to tell with the whole  book. I am sure 
that 
the printed version is better for this.

OT - again, about rights

2011-05-03 Thread Igor Roshchin

Dear All,

We discussed the legal aspects of using photos of the people
in various cases.
Now, I am trying to see how that applies to a video.
I am especially interested in hearing opinion of the people
who have dealt with similar issues.

A specific situation is as follows:
1. an event is open to public and includes dance classes;
2. the rules of the event do not forbid to take videos;
3. at the end of a dance class, the instructors offer everybody who wants
to take a video of a short summary (without stating any restrictions
on the use).

In this situation, what do you think, - can the people (instructors)
appearing in the video restrict the use of the videos taken at
a later point?
In particular, - do they have a right to demand that the video is not
posted publically (e.g. on Youtube) - retroactively?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this issue.

Igor
