Nice light and rendering here and on "the kiss." The body painting is nice on 
the lace bodice but the stripes below are kind of clunky IMO.

The light seems to have been very nice, Steve. I wonder if you tried for 
wider view so as to show more of the beautiful light and more of the 
context, even if it would seem somewhat obvious that it would be a 
context of left-behind and decay.

If you use something like Adobe's Lightroom, the only things that remind you 
that you're using RAW files is that your harddrive and memory cards fill up 
faster, and you have a hell of a lot more latitude for playing with exposures 
and white balance after the fact.  The whole concept of "batch processing" or 
"converting" doesn't even exist - you just import your files, edit them, and 
send your edited output to web or disk.  Easy-peasy.

Re: Peso: So Pumped

The problem in this case was a huge mobile sign advertising a chicken
BBQ.  Also, Given the FOV of my lens, I'd be standing in traffic.

It is a curiously common response, however.  My interest is in the
pump and the old machinery.  Some want to see the building as well.
The problem is that including the building makes the pump a very minor
part of the shot.  Clearly, this needs to be a mini-gallery.

Re: Workflow Quandary

2011-05-31 Thread Paul Sorenson
I shoot pef's almost exclusively and import into LR using a card
reader.  The import is set to convert to DNGs, run an import preset
that gets pretty much all the images adjusted close, then back up the
PEFs to the hard drive on my server.  The HD on my work computer gets
backed up to an external drive every moring at 1AM.  I can then tweak
the images and print, upload to a gallery or revisit them later.

Previous experience teaches me there is a very fine line between
tasteful & trashy.

Thankfully this time I was mostly on the right side of the line.

BTW I don't know why I referred to this as a workshop. It wasn't. It
was a group shoot with models, body painters & photographers thrown
together in a studio and then left to their own devises.

Thanks for looking & commenting.

If anyone's interested in looking at a shot from the X100 in detail, I have
put a 10 mbyte jpeg on my site. It's an uncropped full-size shot I took
today. Nothing special as a photo, but you can have a look at some details

Remember, it's 10 megabytes, so it might take a while to download if you're

Re: Workflow Quandary

2011-05-31 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
Couldn't agree more, Tim.

I immediately run through all my exposures from a big shoot using
Lightroom and reject anything that I know is never going to be worth
processing any further. After a quick second pass looking for picks
and another quick review, I then delete them from the hard drive and
forget they existed.

Since I tend to shoot slowly and carefully on my personal work, I
don't see three quarters going in the bit bucket most of the time ...
usually more like half ... but when I'm doing an event assignment the
percentage can be closer to 90%.

LOL! Younger perhaps. In 1998 I was 44 years old. ];-)

I remember the Handspring Visor very well. I had provided some
assistance to the Palm group at US Robotics some years before, and
Handspring was a second effort started by one of the principals who
started the Palm effort. One of my colleagues' spouse worked at
Handspring starting right about 1999 and rose to the level of senior
managing director in engineering when she retired in 2003. I had
access to all the Handspring prototypes and pre-production components
as I helped them out with beta testing from time to time.

I pre focus on the peanuts, at f5.6 in AV mode, and set the ISO to

So I can view and delete stuff without importing it into Lightroom's
database. Also so I can delete images *before* re-naming them (I have
my own file-naming scheme) - this makes all my keepers fit into a
consecutive sequence with no gaps. Lightroom does perform automated
file re-naming, but it's slower and more cumbersome than the "CK
Rename" app I use.

The school bus runs are posted on a website, as a spread sheet type

In the past i have just highlighted the information and pasted it into
cell A1 using Appleworks spread sheet. It gives me what i want and
then i just sort for route numbers.

If i do that in Apple Numbers or MS Excel, it just puts everything
into one line. Is there any way to do this properly NOT using
Appleworks. I still have it on the laptop but would like to use a more

I got it to work (using Windows 7, Firefox, Excel 2007):

Highlight the table in Firefox and copy to clipboard (Ctrl-C)
Select cell A1 in Excel
Click the drop-down arrow below "Paste" in the "Home" tab of Excel's ribbon
Select "Paste special..."
Select "Text", OK

It pasted as 14 rows, 4 columns, instead of the single line like regular paste.

I don't know how closely this will correspond to Excel on the Mac.

Re: Peso: So Pumped

Steve,
I would agree that the buildings are problematic.
Sometimes the pump is in front of a 10 foot wide, stand alone building,
no bigger than a small 1 car garage and quite interesting.
More often, the abandoned pump sits on a bit of concrete pad in front of
an expanded and re-skinned building that is now a convenience store.
The new siding on the building belies the original building beneath.

When I shoot live shows, I'm happy to retain 10% of what I shot.

That little "x" key in Lightroom is a wonderful fast way to mark and ultimately

Yup. And then when it's removed, it takes a second to rename the files
all in sequence, if that's what you're after. Don't see why I'd slow
down my workflow by stepping through Bridge first.

I was recently trying to copy a different web page table into Excel,
and found that I got different results from different web browsers.
(I'm dismayed to report that copying from IE 8 did what I wanted, and
Firefox did not.) So whether it works or not may depend on the browser
you're using, too.

Boston has public transport that actually works fairly well. We've

I had a Visor as well, a while before they were bought back by Palm.
A very nice little machine and good alternative (and more modular)
than Palm machines.

PESO - Bird in a Box

2011-05-31 Thread frank theriault
This thing looked fine at home, but I'm on a public library computer
now and the whole right side of the bird box is blown out.  Let me
know what you think of the exposure:

I now know that this is a Tree Swallow.

Hope you enjoy.  Comments welcome.

cheers,
frank

Yep, I know.  Before moving to Silicon Valley I used to live in Nashua, NH.
Getting into Boston was usually done by driving to the Alewife Parkway T
stop and taking the red line.

I was putting around 6000 miles/year onto the Mustang, and maybe another
1000-1500 on the snow day transport.  Now I telecommute, so I'm not even
doing that much - maybe 2500-3000 miles/year (and no snow days).

Yes, the box is rather blown out.
I'd take back the exposure a stop or two, and
then lighten up the bird in the circle.

Re: Peso: So Pumped

2011-05-31 Thread Steven Desjardins
Oddly, the last two buildings have clearly been turned into
residences.  The old pump has been left out front like a lawn gnome.
Only the first pump has a clearly abandoned store behind it.

OT: Solar eclipse at night

2011-05-31 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
For those with the right latitude, this could be a great photo-op:

NASA Science News for May 31, 2011

A solar eclipse in the middle of the night? Yes, it can happen. Sky
watchers in the Arctic will witness such an event on June 1st when the
Moon partially eclipses the midnight sun.

Replaced the tile wall with a decent wallboard, with cement board behind it.
20 hours and counting.  Probably only a couple of hours left.
