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

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.

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.

 G'day all

 First - a confession.

 I know it's a bit Kenny boy-ish - but I shoot mainly JPGs.

 There.

 I've said it.

 I feel unburdened somehow.

 I know I 'should' be shooting RAW and I do shoot RAW from time to time.
 And it's not that I don't understand its advantages, it's just that I
 struggle with the workflow.  So I'm hoping for a bit of enlightenment.

 It seems to me that if you only shoot RAW, you have to have some system
 in place to batch process those images. There just aren't enough hours
 in the day to process each image individually.  I have CS3 and I know
 that I can batch process a folder full of RAW images with Photoshop's
 File  Automate  Batch command (presumably Lightroom can do something
 similar), but here is where things get murky.

 So - I'm interested in how others go about the process while still
 retaining a measure of sanity.  A few questions, then...

 Do you point your conversion software at a folder of RAW images and let
 it get on with the job while you watch the latest episode (or two) of
 Mythbusters?  If so, isn't this just handing over the image processing
 function to software?  Do you go back and 'tweak' the images?

 or

 Do you look at the JPG previews to decide which images are the 'Hero
 Images' (as the late Bruce Fraser called them) and restrict RAW
 conversion to those?

 If you batch convert the lot, do you convert to a lossless format (TIFF
 or PSD)?  There doesn't seem to be much point in converting to JPG - you
 could do that in camera.

 Do you archive your 'second string' images as RAW, or do you convert to
 JPG and ditch the originals?

 What's the advantages of shooting RAW + JPG? (perhaps one advantage is
 that you could keep just the JPGs of your 'second string' images if you
 can't bring yourself to ditch them entirely).

 In summary - if you shoot RAW exclusively (or mainly), how do you manage
 the workflow and still have a life??

today. Nothing special as a photo, but you can have a look at some details

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%.

 OK, here's my workflow - just put
 into practice after coming back from
 NH with several hundred images...
 
 I bring all the images onto my hard drive and, using
 Bridge, separate
 them into appropriate directories (or folders in
 weenie-speak). 
 
 Then I delete the obvious clunkers (really serious problems
 like hit
 shutter button by mistake, hand held at
 2-second-shutter-speed,
 etc.)
 
 Then I re-name the files as per my personal file naming
 scheme. This
 may not be a step at all in your work flow but it takes a
 couple of
 seconds per directory with CKRename)
 
 Now I import everything into Lightroom.
 
 After importation I tweak each image to get it good enough
 for general
 purposes. If I really have a lot of images this may include
 a few
 steps in which I give Lightroom the go ahead to
 automatically do what
 it thinks is best: this may not be perfect, but it's always
 better
 than what the camera's built-in JPEG engine would have come
 up with.
 Often I'll set the adjustments for each image myself but
 this takes
 very little time at all - here's the real catch - with
 enough
 practice. The more experience you get doing this the less
 time it will
 take. Often, close inspection will let me cull a few more
 duds from
 the hard drive. At this point everything is generally good
 enough for
 publication for all but the most critical purposes.
 
 At this I look for the hero shots to give them some extra
 attention.
 
 Rarely, something will have to be brought into Photoshop
 for some
 work.

 Below is spoken with the voice of a teller of ancient fairy tales...

 When you were young, Godfrey, and I were little, there was a company called
 Handspring. They made a thing called Personal Digital Assistant that was
 called Visor. And the Visor's motto was Infinitely expandable because it
 had a rather big slot on the back that could be filled with anything
 starting with a cell phone module and going all the way to the massager
 module... After all, PD Assistant was supposed to assist and assist it
 did...

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.

 As for GXR - it may be a good self birthday present. I am turning 40 this 
 year...

It's a darn nice little camera.

So I can view and delete stuff without importing it into Lightroom's

my own file-naming scheme) - this makes all my keepers fit into a

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.

 The problem is that including the building makes the pump a very minor

 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.

 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%.
 

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 
remove the crud.

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

(I'm dismayed to report that copying from IE 8 did what I wanted, and

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).

Re: PESO - Bird in a Box

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.
Regards,  Bob S.

 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.

 Dan,
 That's a wholely appropriate picture for Memorial Day.
 You look at some of these old Veterans weighed down by the years,
 and you can't help but think of their young comrads in arms.
 They paid with their lives and missed all the joys of living.

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.

On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 2:13 PM, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com wrote:
 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.
 Regards,  Bob S.

 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.

 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.

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.
