PESO: WaterFire

[David Parsons]

I went to WaterFire in Providence, RI with some camera club friends on
Saturday.  They are OMG incredibly difficult to shoot well.
Curiously, I got better shots after I ditched the tripod and bumped up
to 3200 ISO (which I've never shot at-K100DS), and was able to move
around and get scenery and candid people.

That is a nice shot.  Back in my college days I had a girlfriend with a Ghia. 
One of the nice things about it was how it made my Sprite seem like a high 
performance car.

until just now when I can't figure out how to write all the way to

Holy Wheatfield!  OF course you feel better with it under control

Two years ago mine was 190/85 and I thought THAT was off the charts...
now my average (take it every day) over the last 99 readings is 119/71

why would you want it to? it's much easier to read shorter lines; this,
in fact, is one of the reasons i chose Thunderbird -- some control over
the tendency toward unreadably long lines


I agree totally! (though I still like James Joyce)

 But I wanted -ideally_ to selectively adjust the size of fonts within 
the same email so that long hotlinks were on one line.


That being said, I think I won't fiddle with it because when then mail I 
sent out came back to me the HTTP line WAS stretched out... as it is

below.

However I have enough old timey geek in me to want to check out the 
config stuff.


Thanks!

ann



as with most things Thunderbird, though, there's a way to tweak it, but
it's a geeky way; the short answer it to set
mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width to "true"

the long answer is that to reach this setting go to Preferences >
Advanced > General, then click "Config Editor..."; you will find more
settings than you want to believe exist, but by typing "wrap" into the
filter area you will see just a few; resist the temptation to fiddle
with the others, just set mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width to "true" by
double-clicking the appropriate line, then close the window and try
composing a message

Oh dear, Christine - do take care...  I see pilates and a reformed

The staircase shot is lovely.. but.. what have they done to the 
staircase? disfiguring it with quaint homilies. How sad.

Re: OT: Or Perhaps not as it is Photo related question

[John Francis]

It also assumes that "level" in your viewfinder is "level" on the sensor.

I know that I have a tendency to tilt images, so when I remember I try
to correct myself.  But sometimes, evenm when I'm sure that I've been
scrupulously careful in lining up a vertical object with the edge of
the frame, I end up with a distinctly noticeable tilt in the result.

Nowadays, of course, it would be hard to get a 100% viewfinder; just
where the sensor is in the frame can vary quite a bit when SR is used.

Re: OT: Or Perhaps not as it is Photo related question

Yeah, I was referring to not being able to see the entire frame.  It's
pretty difficult to frame accurately, in-camera when you can't see the
edge of the frame.

why would you want it to? it's much easier to read shorter lines; this, 
in fact, is one of the reasons i chose Thunderbird -- some control over 
the tendency toward unreadably long lines


as with most things Thunderbird, though, there's a way to tweak it, but 
it's a geeky way; the short answer it to set 
mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width to "true"


the long answer is that to reach this setting go to Preferences > 
Advanced > General, then click "Config Editor..."; you will find more 
settings than you want to believe exist, but by typing "wrap" into the 
filter area you will see just a few; resist the temptation to fiddle 
with the others, just set mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width to "true" by 
double-clicking the appropriate line, then close the window and try 
composing a message

RE: PAW--Week 26--Grand Staircase (and a night in emergency)

[Jeffery Johnson]

Nice capture and sorry to read about the emergency room visit. Good luck
with the stress test and do hope they don't discover anything some good meds
can't help with but now a days it is amazing what they can do when it does
come to the heart. My partner has had two stints put in and this last ago
around they went in a vain in his wrist and he is doing good. 

Things are going to be fine and yeah I know the feeling about taking one's
body for granted. I really really need to give my one bad habit up and that
is smoking. Since picking up photography again I go out on nature walks and
the like so I do somewhat get exercise. Now mind you, I don't walk fast as I
am paying attention to the nature around me.

I wasn't going to post this, but since several of you pointed out that
Friday was Canada Day (thanks for noticing), I decided to do it.  We
Canadians aren't known for blatant displays of patriotism, probably
because we're afraid of looking like this:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/captain-canada-waits-for-streetcar.html

Despite any super powers Captain Canada has, he still takes public
transit.  How typically Canadian.  And yes, the photo was taken on
Canada Day.

;-)

Hope you enjoy.  Comments really aren't necessary (but will be read anyway).

;-)

RE: TOTALLY OT, but proud mummy needs your help!!

[Tanya Love]

So, we found out last night that she didn't win. :(  We are dying to know 
who "took her crown", and will find out like the rest of Australia - by 
watching the Today Show tomorrow morning.  

In retrospect, it is probably a good thing anyways, as there are ethical 
reasons (have a read about the Nestle Boycott here: 
http://www.babymilkaction.org/pages/boycott.html )  that I am not sure I would 
be happy about setting aside so that her little face could promote a product 
made by Nestle.  I don't know enough about the boycott or the reasons behind it 
to be able to decide definitively if I personally support it or not, but even 
so, was/am a little apprehensive about her promoting the brand.

The $10k sure would have been nice though; we had planned on taking the kids to 
visit the snow (which none of us have ever seen!), on a family holiday that we 
could never afford otherwise, so they are all a bit bummed.

...And Lolly's ego is pretty sad that she has to go to school and tell her 
friends that she didn't win. :)

Thanks so much for your support everyone!

Procrastinator's PESO: Violin

[Collin Brendemuehl]

Shot this a few years ago.  
http://www.flickr.com/photos/55001392@N08/5898734647/in/photostream/lightbox/

Since cleaning up the darkroom over the last few weeks the place is now a 
pleasure to work in.

Printed on Ilford grade 2 fiber paper today.  The neg has that unsightly 
scratch (fortunately on the base), but I'm going to pick up some Edwal this 
week to fix it.

Sorry to hear of your mother's health and of your horrific drive back.
 Couldn't have been much fun.

However, what a treat to have that beauty in your house.  Lovely
portrait of a stunning cat!!

My thoughts are with your mom, hoping her situation improves soon.

Re: PESO - Cedar Waxwings?

Walt - possibly not often seen together because of their preferred

most often seen at different levels.


Seeing them together is interesting especially to me because I didn't 
realize the waxwings were that much smaller than robins. Rather
rude behaviour on the part of the center waxwing - well, or least it 
seems so.

Here's one of the the ones I made for my external flashes:

I've found that aluminum foil along one side to keep the light out of the
lens, or from shining backwards helps.

By the way, you can pick up used external flashes for $20-50 if you keep
your eyes open for them.

Sure looks like it to me. THe _Bohemian_ Waxwing has more pronounced 
markings on its wings - some little stripes and more evident red


Aren't they wonderful birds? like the "geometry" though several crops 
come to mind that would work too.  The greenery is a bit light , and 
especially so on the right foreground...  I think you can play with this 
one a bit and make it extra special...


The only time I had a truly great op to capture them up close was
in NOva Scotia years ago where there were a gang of them in a berry bush 
of some sort. but it was much too dark and my film was slow. :-(


They seem pretty tame when they are in a good feeding spot tho.

Good going!

I've also got three in.  I won't go through the entire litany, but I
submitted about a dozen or so, and three were accepted.  But that was back
in the early days, and the bar was (apparently) quite a bit lower. 
:-)  I haven't submitted in several years because it's become pretty obvious
to me that the stuff I mostly shoot (race cars on track and in the paddock)
isn't something that often appeals to the PPG judges. 
Plus, I've only shot about three events in the last two years due to
external forces. :-)

Dude, you don't need an external flash.  Sure, it helps.  But you can get
away without it.  Start by taking just a single 3"x5" index card and some
tape and scissors.  Cut overlays for the popup flash from the card. 
  Full coverage.  Half Coverage.  Quarter coverage.  Two stacked for more
density.  You get the idea.  Take test shots.  You'll be amazed at how much
good a simple piece of 100# or 120# card stock can do.  Next, save one of
those milk jugs the kids just emptied.  Cut out masks from it.  The plastic
in the milk jugs diffuses the light a lot more than the paper, and doesn't
"eat" as much of the flash's energy.  After that, you can start playing with
"total reflectors" that take "all" of the flash's energy and send it up or
to the side for "bounce".  Lot's of folks took lots of great photos without
a bazillion bucks of gear.

Come over here, Jeffery. I'll take you to the local zoo to take you out of
your calmness zone ;-).

RE: OT: Or Perhaps not as it is Photo related question

[Jeffery Johnson]

When finances are much better or I get a part time job on top of my regular
job then a K5 will just have to wait.

I do have a tripod and find it more in the way if I am at the zoo and rather
hard to use on the trails. I do however end to make myself use the monopod
portion of the tripod. It is two in one so you have the option of using the
tripod or monopod separately.

Subject: PESO - TIger in the House (Warning: cat photo.)

My mother's health took a drastically bad turn last weekend, and I spent the
last week in Iowa helping out. When I left on Friday (another relative is
there
now) I took my mother's cat with me. The 9 1/2 hour trip back from Iowa was
fun
- holiday weekend traffic, road construction, accidents, apocalyptic
thunderstorm, and more road construction resulted in the trip being about 3
hours longer than it should have been. At any rate, he has settled in
remarkably well and is actually hanging out with the other two cats with
minimal hissing and growling. 


Here's a photo I took of him in the spring of 2010, with a K7 and FA 80-320
zoom. I never regret using that lens, though I don't pack it often.

I ~think~ that's what these beautiful birds are - except that I don't see
the red wingtips that Cedar Waxwings are supposed to have.
Otherwise, they look exactly like photos I've seen of that species:

Whatever they are, they're quite beautiful.  If you can confirm or tell me
what they are I'd be most appreciative.

Hope you enjoy.  Comments welcome.

WOW! Magnificent shot, Frank. Composition and color tones spot on.
To heck with the missing red spots. ;)
I'll admit wanting to tone down the light a tad in the area between the  birds 
and the right frame edge.

i'm sure they are Cedar Waxwings; i saw them in Colorado the first time 
this spring in Glenwood Springs, but had seen them at times during my 
youth in Maine; which are different enough that i understand the red tip

the only possible confusion would be the Bohemian Waxwing, about which

impressive, but you don't have to look too hard to see the same saccharine

Thanks, Larry :)

I believe Harry is happy with his name... as does Ann, with her speed

Re: PESO-Macro... at PN :(

[Bulent Celasun]

Thank you, Jack :)

The process was simple:
Backlighting using a home-made fluorescent light source.
Sigma 70 mm macro lens (which, I love, by the way). Raw.
Lovering the contrast a bit.
Conversion to B&W and toning (in fact, the original tones were quite similar).
Sharpening for screen.

Look through the viewfinder before you push the button?
Seriously, it isn't hard to see if the camera is crooked.
If you have a tripod, use it.
If you don't have a tripod, you should be considering one as your very
nect photographic purchase.



I concur.

However, a cheap, flimsy tripod is worse than no tripod at all.


That's in the studio.  A  flimsy tripod with you in the field is better 
than a heavy tripod you left at the car because it was too heavy to carry.




Buy a good one, where good == sturdy.

Doesn't necessarily have to be expensive, but most of the better ones 
are.
