To borrow a line from "When Harry Met Sally". "I know dialog... and

Dan,
That's a terrific shot.  It's not easy to get a sharp picture.

Does the photo have a red/purple/magenta caste?
You might want to adjust the color balance.

Thanks Frank, Mark C. and others who commented on this and/or the follow-on 
attempts. In terms of process, I learned that more preparation & planning would 
have been useful - I knew roughly where the moon would rise and how it would 
fit into the pre-visualized composition. But I didn't know exactly enough to 
really be ready in the "right" place. Second, my plan was still pretty good, 
and I should have stuck with it and tried to make the best of the view I had 
rather then moving around. My first position took into account various 
intermediate "masks" that blocked view of some transmission towers. Every 
subsequent move uncovered some of those towers. 
As far as outcome, several of you have indicated preference for different ones 
of those I posted. I totally agree; that is, I can't decide which I prefer at 
this point. To make matters worse, one of you (to remain nameless unless he 
wants to acknowledge his good work) took one of the shots into PS and did some 
nice improvements to it. So I have that variation to consider as well.

Anyway, I am not sure I quite captured the shot I visualized but I have some 
very nice harvest moon images to ponder and I think you all for your comments.

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods, etc?

[Christine Nielsen]

Agreed, but the painter's drop cloths I was thinking about aren't very
heavy.  I've made slipcovers out of them before on my machine without
a problem.

All of which begs the question of whether it would be a worthwhile
endeavor in the first place, though.  Might be better to go with a
heavier-duty canvas.  Sounds like Larry's found a reasonable solution,
anyway.  But still, it would be a fine idea if you had to make a
pencil case for a giant...

The Anner Bylsma CDs of the cello suites are on high rotation in my 
office when I need to think. One of my faves too, Frank


Lovely scene, terrible pun (though the picture absolutely needs those dogs).

I've been thinking about sound and photos a lot lately. Bought myself an 
H4N Zoom, planning to have ambient street sounds with slideshows. It's 
much harder than it looks. Then I read this


http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/report/2105095/listening-audio-photography

That takes it to another level.

Ah, yes, I stand corrected. Thanks, John, and everyone who had a look.

Shakespeare's out of copyright, so nobody would get sued. On the other hand,
if the monkeys managed to reproduce the complete works of Jeffrey Archer
nobody would be surprised.

I'm jealous of that shot - I wish I'd taken it, so I'm going to make you
suffer instead.

A lovely Bachanalian scene, Frank, but I'm surprised she turned her Bach on
the audience. Shots like that are fugue and fah between. Not sure I'd have
been able to Handel it.

Was her Bach worse than their bite?

By coincidence, I saw Julian Lloyd Webber in the pub on Thursday evening.
He'd left his cello somewhere else though.

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods, etc?

[John Sessoms]

From: Christine Nielsen

Not terribly clever, but when I'm not using them, I keep stands,
umbrellas & tripod in a (clean) trash can in a closet in my studio.
When I take them somewhere, they go into a duffle bag (an old-school
canvas hockey bag)... This system is easy-peasy, even for a slob like
me.

The wrench-roll wouldn't be at all difficult to make, though.  If you
had access to a sewing machine,  you could get a canvas drop cloth
from the hardware store... and go from there.

Standard home sewing machines generally won't handle heavy canvas.

Cardboard tubes, one for each umbrella, strapped together, with a grip at the

You reminded me of the rolls that wrenches often come in, with pockets for each wrench.  
I need something like that, but 60" long and about 45" wide, with somewhere

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods, etc?

[John Sessoms]

From: Larry Colen

I'm cleaning up after photographing a friend's party last night. As often happens, when 
it came time to leave, things got "put away" in a manner much closer to 
expediency than organization.  This means that I have to pretty much unpack everything, 
and put it away where it belongs.

The good news is that I have put together a fairly decent sized collection of 
lighting stands, tripods etc. Unfortunately, I don't really have a good way of 
storing and transporting them.  I've been carrying the lighting stand, 
umbrellas etc. in a (very) large duffel, but that's not very convenient when 
I'm at home.  I'm curious whether anybody has come up with some sort of a 
brilliantly handy (and cheap) way of storing and carrying these things.

And for that matter, any other sort of camera gear beyond bodies and lenses.


I have Manfrotto tripod bags and a carrying bag made for light-stands. 
Folded umbrellas go in the bag with the stands.


The few soft-boxes I own came with their own storage bags. Mostly I 
leave the soft boxes assembled, ready to mount a strobe.

Great stuff, Dave.  Two that stand out for me are the swan family and

PESO - Bach in the Park

The bystanders and their dogs seem oblivious to the cellist in the

favourite pieces ever.  I chatted with her, and she was a lovely young
lady, who decided to practice out near nature (and I'm glad she did):

Hope you enjoy (too bad you don't get to hear her - she was very

Re: Happy Constitution Day

[John Sessoms]

From: Christine Nielsen

Would you believe... we had a recitation of the Bill of RIghts at the
dinner table this very evening??

It all started with one of the girls asking a question about "pleading
the fifth"... and then their dad & I trying to recall what each of the
first 10 amendments were all about... We managed to get the gist of
half of them before resorting to google for help.

Which was very educational of us, I think.

However, I think we may need to revisit the original question... And
figure out why does she need to know about her right to not
incriminate herself...?


Unfortunately, for far too many people the whole thing boils down to a 
single clause of one amendment.


For me, the most interesting amendment is the 27th. Originally proposed 
as part of the original Bill of Rights on September 25, 1789, it was 
finally ratified May 7, 1992 - 202 years 4 months later.


Of course, by then Congress had enacted (1989) the current AUTOMATIC 
system of pay increases, so they don't have to vote to give themselves a 
pay raise - essentially mooting the effect of the amendment.

Not reinventing the wheel when you don't have to can be very clever, or at 
least wise.  

You made me think of checking where I got the cheap lightstands, and they have 
a couple of inexpensive bags:

Realistically, this might be the cheapest solution:
http://www.ephotoinc.com/photo-video-umbrellas-light-stand-tripod-carrying-bag1.html

http://www.ephotoinc.com/photo-umbrellas-light-stand-tripod-carrying-bag-b50.html

It's a bit smaller than yours, not as convenient, nor as well made, but at $23, 
a couple of them could work very well.

RE: David Slater's macaque: A real IP lawyer speaks out

[John Sessoms]

From: Mark Roberts

Remember the story about the monkey who took a self-portrait and David
Slater, the photographer who tried to claim copyright on it? If not,
here's T.O.P. on the subject:
http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2011/07/monkey-business-monkeywrench.html
and TechDirt:
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110712/01182015052/monkeys-dont-do-fair-use-news-agency-tells-techdirt-to-remove-photos.shtml

I sent a query about this matter to Rich Stim, the IP lawyer who
writes Nolo.com's intellectual property blog. TOP and other places
around the web had so many non-lawyers spouting off about this case I
thought it would be interesting to see what a real lawyer (whose books
on IP law are widely respected) had to say.

It's bad news for Slater.

http://dearrichblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/hijacked-and-automatic-photography.html

But it think it's generally good news for everyone that Mike J's
speculation that photos taken by automatically-triggered mechanisms
can't be registered turned out to be groundless.


I wonder if there are any 'gators in the swamp in the new patent law 
Obama signed last week?


Yes, I know the difference between patents and copyrights. Do you think 
Congress does? Or cares?

RE: OT: AutoFX filters - any users here?

[John Sessoms]

From: "Jens"

Are any of you guys using this filtering software?

jens


Never heard of them until you mentioned it. Googled them.

I have Nik Color Efex Pro and can do most of what "Mystical Lighting" 
and "Mystical Tint Tone Color" do.


Mystical Focus seems to be mostly funky "out of focus" effects. I have 
enough trouble with those unintentionally coming out of the camera.


On the serious side, comparing prices between "Mystical Tint Tone Color" 
and Nik Color Efex Pro, the Nik filters retail about $50 USD less.

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods etc?

[Bruce Walker]

If only life was so simple, Tim.

If you have even light falling equally on both subject and background, 
the fastest glass will not find contrast to lift your subject from the 
background and give the image life.  So you can either darken your 
background or add light to your subject, and the latter is usually 
easier. Often all you need is a single off-axis strobe which not only 
brightens your subject a stop or two, but also can add some defining 
shadow to the subject.


Everybody should have a remote-able flash in their kit to play with. 
It's a very (ahem) enlightening experience.

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods etc?

[Bruce Walker]

Before I got an extra large duffel bag from a camping store, I used to 
steal the bags that our folding chairs live in, so your idea is sound 
and has been proven in the field, Jeffrey.  They are good for one stand 
and umbrella plus a few doodads. They come with a great shoulder handle 
and tie easily at the top.

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods etc?

[Christine Nielsen]

Not terribly clever, but when I'm not using them, I keep stands,
umbrellas & tripod in a (clean) trash can in a closet in my studio.
When I take them somewhere, they go into a duffle bag (an old-school
canvas hockey bag)... This system is easy-peasy, even for a slob like
me.

The wrench-roll wouldn't be at all difficult to make, though.  If you
had access to a sewing machine,  you could get a canvas drop cloth
from the hardware store... and go from there.

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods etc?

[George Sinos]

It's not very clever, but I bought a case made by Tenba just for the
purpose.  It hold 2 light stands, a tripod, and a monopod and has a
zipper compartment for all the cords, pocket wizards and other misc.
There is a long divider that rolls out from the base so that you can
keep things from banging together and getting scratched.

I bought it a few years ago.  This isn't the exact model, but it is similar.

That's a great gallery - especially 1316097972 and 1316097961 (with the
frogs in context).

1316097970 looks particularly painful - looks as if the frog has impaled
itself!

It's almost tree frog season here - you've inspired me to make an effort
to get some decent photos of them this year.

A very nice selection.  I especially like 'flower-5833' and '60
dbrooks'.  Of the birds, my favourite is '20110620-DSC 1949', the close
cropped version of the swans. 'bird-6010' is excellent but I'd be
tempted to crop out the feed table.

Good luck!!

You reminded me of the rolls that wrenches often come in, with pockets for each 
wrench.  I need something like that, but 60" long and about 45" wide, with 
somewhere between 8 and a dozen pockets.

Re: Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods etc?

Velcro strap pairs connected by some webbing can tote several stands at a time 
until the velcro gets too dirty to hold well.

For more stability a safety, a 3 foot dowel or 2x2 with a handle and four 
velcro straps will carry 3 or 4 light stands.

Cardboard tubes, one for each umbrella, strapped together, with a grip at the 
balance point. Boxes I'd make a heavy material bag to hold the cloth, a 
cardboard tube for the rods, throw the light adaptor it all hooks up to into a 
general equipment box with your weight bags, bean bags, spare brackets, 
extension cords, rope and clamps, etc.

RE: PESO - Healing Vibrations

[John Coyle]

Thanks to all who responded, and I have read all the links that people sent - a
fascinating read!

I also polled the board of the organisation whose publication it is, and the 
majority felt
that Times New Roman, fully-justified, was the best for legibility.  One, who 
also edits
several other journals, mentioned that some readers are asking for larger font 
sizes, even
up to 12-pt. for body text.  Don't think I'll go quite that far, though.

This list really is the most multi-talented - and a great source of information!

I gave Godaddy the boot a while back.  Good riddance.  More due to the service 
than any security concerns - they're a very big target and they take security 
as seriously as anyone.

I've had to clean up a number of hacked sites on several different hosting 
platforms.  If you're using a content management system (eg Wordpress, Joomla 
etc) you MUST keep it up to date.  Otherwise it's just a matter of when.

Cheers,
Dave
