Fascinating, I like old machinery.

What's the crank handle for?

Nice colours.  I tend to avoid getting my lenses too close to fungus.

There is a rather rude Russian saying that associates with the matter. 
It is not that enormous, that cock.


Good photos, though.

that's a very nice portrait indeed.

I bought a Fuji X100 yesterday. I haven't taken any pictures with it yet,
other than while fiddling around trying to figure out how it works. 

First impressions: manual focus is fiddly. The software user interface is
over-complicated. Handles nicely with an Artisan & Artist wrist-strap. The
optical viewfinder (which is the reason for buying it) is excellent; but
it's certainly no Leica.

More anon, hopefully with pictures.

PESOs - Warbler?

[frank theriault]

Must have waited and stalked for 1/2 hour before this little fellow
gave me a few quick, good looks.  These two are the best unobstructed
views he gave me:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/warbler.html

I was quite pleased that he let me get quite close.

Anyone know what this is?  I'm guessing it's a warbler of some sort,
but any ID help would be appreciated.

Hope you enjoy.  Comments welcome.

cheers,
frank

Tennessee Warbler would be my guess. Looks right, the range maps say that it is 
to be expected in your neighborhood at this time of year . . .

Wow, the body art is very pretty--colors lovely.  I like the light you've

the angle of the model's head doesn't seem to work with the complete 
composition and it's cropped a bit tight at the top.  Still, very nice work

been an interesting shoot.  Cheers, Christine

X100

[Bob W]

I bought a Fuji X100 yesterday. After struggling with the onboard software
for a while I decided to read the manual and get it set up to suit the way I
want to use it.

Here are the first pictures, taken around Greenwich earlier today:


Hard to judge it properly yet. I think it's going to work well for my
purposes, which is to take pictures at lunch time in the area where I work.
It was a pleasure to use today in the market, but it has its quirks. First
off, the dials are too easy to change by accident, so most of these were
shot at 1/500 on auto aperture, rather than both on auto. That has meant I
had to recover most of the exposures in Lightroom.

The optical viewfinder, which is why I bought this rather than some other
camera, is essentially just a framing device - you can't use if for manual
focusing, so you have to be aware of where the focus point is. In some of
the pictures it's clear that I wasn't thinking of that when I pressed the
shutter. 

But it's early days and I think I'll emjoy using it. It's unobtrusive, easy
to shoot one-handed (you can see your humble servant using it this way in a
reflection in one of the pictures), responsive and quick.

It can't really be compared to a Leica M, despite the reviews, but perhaps
Leica should be thinking about a digital CL along these lines, and about
returning the M10 to the same size as the M3 - the X100 suggests that it can
be done.

Glad she asked --
I like that - and live that kind of stuff as you know,
But of course you need a "tight head shot" to see the BP ...

Re: X100

[Steven Desjardins]

I knew someone would cave in.  You were high on my list, Bob.

It seems nice ad sharp.  Uniform lighting exposure is excellent.  DR
rears it's head in a few shots, but nothing you can't live with.  I
really don't know how another camera would have done.  I have some DR
issues with my micro43 bodies, but of course that's a somewhat smaller
sensor.

I'm very jealous, BTW.

Sold a pic to a theologian

[Tim Bray]

I'm sure this august rabble, even the actual professionals, won't
object to me cackling in that glee experienced when our hobby
unexpectedly leads to a check arriving in the mail.  Anyhow, I sold
the picture at 
http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2011/02/26/-big/IMG_0462.jpg.html
to a Professor of Patristic Theology at Cambridge University for use
on the cover of a book to be entitled "The Architecture of Theology:
Structure, System and Ratio".   Going to be a hot seller, I'm sure.

BTW, she found it because I put the pic in a Wikipedia article.

Also interesting: I shot it with my Canon S90 because the big Pentax
was out of juice.

well, that's one approach, but there are alternatives ... i use a
password manager that integrates with my browser; for each new account i
1) create an unique email address (easy when you own your own domain),
and 2) create a unique, strong password; i never even see the password,
and the whole thing is saved into a vault automatically, ready to be
automatically used when i next need to log in

while there's an up-front time investment in such a system, it is a huge
timesaver in the end, and it also makes my accounts much more secure
since none of them have the same password; and if a service disobeys my
email preferences i have both a smoking gun and an easy way to filter
the email to the trash

there are numerous tools to do this sort of thing; the one i use is
called 1Password



I'm currently using three computers - one here at home, one down at 
school & my laptop. How do you sync the accounts between multiple computers?


And what do you do if the computer that has the "password bank" dies?

Congratulations. Is she going to give you 300 free copies to give to your

By the way, Gregory of Nazianzus was my favourite. He could cram more angels

yes, first results not bad. The DR head-rearage may be a result of almost
all the shots being several stops under-exposed. Now that I know I have to
check the dials assiduously to get the exposure right. 

There's something in the menu system about HDR, but I can't be bothered will
all that sort of stuff. I like to keep it simple.

Really nice scenery, Steve. Exposure and resolution right on. I just get the

but some primary elements could be relocated through cropping.

object to me cackling in that glee experienced when our hobby
unexpectedly leads to a check arriving in the mail.  Anyhow, I sold
the picture at 
http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2011/02/26/-big/IMG_0462.jpg.html

to a Professor of Patristic Theology at Cambridge University for use
on the cover of a book to be entitled "The Architecture of Theology:
Structure, System and Ratio".   Going to be a hot seller, I'm sure.

BTW, she found it because I put the pic in a Wikipedia article.

Also interesting: I shot it with my Canon S90 because the big Pentax
was out of juice.

I bought a Fuji X100 yesterday. After struggling with the onboard software
for a while I decided to read the manual and get it set up to suit the way 
I

want to use it.

Here are the first pictures, taken around Greenwich earlier today:


Hard to judge it properly yet. I think it's going to work well for my
purposes, which is to take pictures at lunch time in the area where I 
work.

It was a pleasure to use today in the market, but it has its quirks. First
off, the dials are too easy to change by accident, so most of these were
shot at 1/500 on auto aperture, rather than both on auto. That has meant I
had to recover most of the exposures in Lightroom.

The optical viewfinder, which is why I bought this rather than some other
camera, is essentially just a framing device - you can't use if for manual
focusing, so you have to be aware of where the focus point is. In some of
the pictures it's clear that I wasn't thinking of that when I pressed the
shutter.

But it's early days and I think I'll emjoy using it. It's unobtrusive, 
easy
to shoot one-handed (you can see your humble servant using it this way in 
a

reflection in one of the pictures), responsive and quick.

It can't really be compared to a Leica M, despite the reviews, but perhaps
Leica should be thinking about a digital CL along these lines, and about
returning the M10 to the same size as the M3 - the X100 suggests that it 
can

be done.

Re: Peso: Old BP Pump

The angle has a lot to do with the curve of the road and getting back

peso walk interupted

[Christine Aguila]

Husband had to rescue me from an intended 3.7 mile walk I started this 
morning but couldn't complete because of rain.  I got about .65 mile into it 
and was able to complete the river walk part, but couldn't finish the rest 
of the walk.  It's raining heavy here.  I only got off 4 shots during my 
start.  This one features the *aged photo* preset in Lightroom with some 
gentle tweaking.


http://www.caguila.com/caguila/tree/content/IMGP3254_large.html

Darrel & I will try the walk again tomorrow on our Memorial Day holiday here 
in the States.  Cheers, Christine

Re: Peso: Goshen Pass

[Jack Davis]

This shows that you do have a lot of cropping choices. Thought it might have 
been a vertical. Unless this is another frame. If not, I'd include a 
substantial amount more of the rock at the bottom. Also, Is it my monitor or is 
the image low on the left?
I'd straighten it up (even if the stream were actually tilted) and crop the 
right side between the medium size couple of rocks sit on the right bank and 
remove the upper left small leafless branches.
Since you are looking at more picture, you might choose to crop some of the 
left and leave more on the right. I actually prefer the right side elements.

That's one of the reasons why it didn't do much for me. Turn on all
the overlays and it's a complicated, fussy view. Turn them off and
it's a nice simple framing device, but the X100's EVF is no great
shakes for manual focusing. I figured if that was going to be the
case, I'd rather have the viewfinder be an option, exchangable with a
better quality EVF when needed for precise eye level work.

I'm happy to report that the GXR EVF is on par with the Olympus Pen
optional and Panasonic Lumix built-in EVFs for quality.

I agree. For a Leicaphile, the Leica X1 does a better job of maintaing
the simplicity and transparency of a Leica M sans the interchangeable
lens and rangefinder focusing.

I'd love to see Leica go with a CL-D along the lines of the brief I
sent them a half dozen years ago now ... An electronically coupled
optical rangefinder with manual focus prime lenses ...

Stepping back for a moment to reflect:
It's delightful that we have so many possibilities for digital cameras
now, however. Classic RF system cameras (Leica M), classic SLR
derivatives from all the surviving major players and a couple of new
faces, medium format hyper expensive machinery, ultra-compact
small-sensor fun cameras, mirror-less traditional format system
cameras (micro-fourthirds and NEX) and the GXR system notion of a back
with interchangeable coupled lens/sensor and other camera expansion
module options.

I agree with the comment about the Bunting - I really like the head-on look, 
and so chose to ignore the fact that the focus was a couple of inches this way, 
on the edge of the feeder tray. I am quite sure we have a pair of these birds 
living in the general neighborhood and see one or both occasionally, but 
unfortunately it is only very occasionally. I may or may not get another chance 
. . .

You both picked the pair of Egrets. I think I prefer the single, and almost 
didn't include the pair in this set. Overall, across the three sets, my current 
preference (thinking in terms of which I might go ahead and print/frame/hang on 
the wall) is for the Yellowlegs(?), the single Egret, and the Egret Pair. Nos. 
5, 8, and 7 in the set.

I can understand your thinking. I've been using the grid with the horizon
indicator today, for the novelty. HCB had a horrific premonition that
cameras would come equipped with rule-of-thirds grids, so I will switch it
off, but I was surprised by how far from horizontal I naturally frame. I've
no real interest in the EVF, and it doesn't represent the tones and colours
of the scene naturally.

Well, a couple of hours ago I compared the X100 with the M3 and I can report
that they are the same thickness. The M3 is fractionally higher on the left,
and the M3 is longer by about 1.5cm, but what that tells me is that Leica
should be able to return to the M3 dimensions in the M10 when it comes, and
that's what I would like them to do more than anything else.
