Re: Traveling time

2011-05-08 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
The Bus (aka Mobile Land Mass) is unusual even in the realm of dd RVs.
I think there are only about 25 of them in the US. It's unusual design
has a low cab (drivers control room) with two big bays on the ground
floor between it and the fuel/water tanks and the engine room. SL
chose it for the big bays so they would have inboard parking for their
motorcycles. Both of them being techies and machinery junkies, it is
chock full of techno marvels and is truly an amazing bit of machinery.

We did a little less than 400 miles yesterday, stopped for the night
at the Route 66 Casino outside of Albuquerque, NM, and had a good
dinner in the casino. They've got good free wifi there so we'll be
doing the on line business at breakfast on the laptops. Out here in
parking, it's ATT EDGE so iPad only .. Doable but not convenient.

Ann ... Yes I'll call you when I get to NY. I plan to be there for
about a week and need to do a BH run... :-)

So far I've only been taking pictures with the GXR and the iPad ..
It's a great camera .. But might un-pack the E-5 and a longer lens
today. All I have for the GXR at present is the 28mm EFL camera module
and would like a normal or portrait tele lens as well. I might pick up
the A12 50mm f/2.5 Macro at BH...

Onwards!

To err is human
to arr is pirate




2011/5/7 Larry Colen l...@red4est.com:
 I  spent several hours on Wednesday evening doing a complete rewrite of my 
 low light dance photography article. His comments and questions had pointed 
 out some basic problems, mostly that I had assumed familiarity with the dance 
 culture, and why you don't use flash at these events. The rewrite actually 
 took a lot more time than writing it the first time.

 This morning I got an email from him:
 Unfortunately, I believe it's time to let you go. This hasn't been working 
 at all and it's taken you way too long to get anything ready for us. It's 
 also taken a ridiculous amount of effort on both our parts. I've never had 
 this many problems getting a piece into shape.

 I want to thank you for your efforts but unfortunately I don't believe this 
 is a relationship that will work.

 All in all, I have to agree with him. It certainly wasn't working. A lot of 
 it was working from different sets of unspoken assumptions. The attempt, 
 however, was very enlightening.  The business model for his blog seems to be 
 Look at the shiny! You want the shiny, it'll make you a better photographer. 
 Click here and buy the shiny.

 I'm as big of a gear slut as any photographer that has walked the planet. I 
 love gear that lets me get pictures that I couldn't get before, or gear that 
 makes it easier, or makes it possible to get better quality photos. I also 
 love solving technical problems and making the gear to do so out of a couple 
 dollars worth of kit from the hardware store. But, I never realized until 
 now, how much more important I feel it is to get the most from your gear than 
 it is to have better gear.  Mind you, there are a lot of photos that I can 
 get with my K-5 that were flat out impossible with the K-100, but that just 
 means that I need to use the push the envelope techniques in worse and 
 worse light.

 Unfortunately, writing about how to get more out of the gear you have doesn't 
 sell gear, and selling gear is what makes money. Although, I suspect for the 
 most part, people are going to spend what they spend on toys, and it's just a 
 question of which toys and for what reasons.  Even on this list there seems 
 to be no correlation between people saying Gear is only important in that it 
 doesn't get in the way and not buying toys.

 The past few weeks did give me an idea of some fun things to write about, and 
 I need to decide if, and how, I'm going to do so.  The only real financial 
 incentive I can see for writing about photography online, is to help sell my 
 services as a photographer.  In the meantime, I've got metric buttload of 
 life happening to me right now, and I should get back to work on that.

 As to the piece I wrote on low light photography, all of the editing was done 
 in wordpress, and I didn't cut and paste what I wrote, and when I asked him 
 if he could send me what I wrote he replied:
 Because I worked on it quite a bit, I will not. It's only fair in terms of 
 ethics.

 He had also asked for a comparison between the DA40 and the DA*16-50. It 
 probably didn't help that my treatment of the comparison was that this is 
 like asking which is faster a Dodge Van or an Austin Healey Sprite, if you're 
 worrying which of these two lenses is faster you need to stop pixel peeping, 
 turn off your computer, go outside and take some photos.

 Fascinating. Of course, it might never see production. I've seen cases
 in which a manufacturer accidentally showed photos of an exciting
 product never intended for production. It draws attention and
 generates buzz.

 I wonder how much of a market there might be for a 300/2.8 for a
 mirrorless system. I'd guess not much at the moment (unless it were
 also compatible with an SLR system) but possibly in the future.
 Curiouser and curiouser.

Interesting ... I am only assuming that with the ladder in the photo they
were about to change the prices. The reason I state that is, it is way
unusual to see Unleaded and Unleaded Plus be the same price.

That's what it's called when swans swim around with their necks curved
and wings half-raised.  There were several doing it (not near each
other or other birds), so I thought it might be a mating ritual (See
my beautiful feathers?  Surely you'll want to copulate now!), but
apparently it's a show of aggression - although I don't know who they
meant to be aggressive towards.

Whatever, here's a swan, busking:

I actually did that at one time, and I sold quite a bit of stock. But the

Very pleasing bokeh indeed. Yup, that lens has it!

Love the muted pastel-like palette.  I'd try selectively sharpening the 
two up-front in-focus buds to enhance the in/out-of focus contrast.

re: Traveling time

2011-05-08 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
Long day's haul through New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle area. A couple hours 
west of Amarillo, Louise received new destination orders, so we're heading 
southeast from here, currently aiming at Jackson, Mississippi as destination. 
According to Google Maps and the GPS dominatrix, that should take us two and 
some days further. 

We're stopped for the night a bit southeast of Amarillo on our way to I-20 now. 
Little time for taking pictures until we pulled into this vast and ginormous 
truck stop with the most luxurious restroom facilities I've seen yet. 

We stopped in Albuquerque and Louise bought herself a MiFi unit so she'll have 
3G WiFi on board when we're not in range of WiFi. I'm prepping a couple of 
photos for her to post on the blog, should be up tomorrow morning. 

onwards,
Godfrey
