RE: PDML meet in Italy ?
Thanks Dario, and I would really look forward to meeting you. I should mention that dinner would be something of an imposition, as not only would there be my wife and I, but also her daughter and friend: I would not want to ask you and your wife to cope with that lot! If you are happy to come up to Venice (I should say Venezia!), either the 5th. or 6th. would be good , as we might well include an expedition to Torcello - have you ever been there? Unfortunately, I think any other week-end we will be too far away to meet up, as our plan is to head towards Florence and Rome, which does take us away from Ravenna.

Hi John, I live in Ravenna, hence I'll be happy to meet you here or in Forlì, which is just half-hour drive from home. However, during the week I can hardly think of finding more than one hour or so, free for such meeting. Perhaps a dinner will better do the trick, but I have to ask the wife for that ;-) Oh, and I'll be away on 9/11. On the other hand, a meeting (possibly widened to other PDML folks?) during the weekend could be welcome too. I can consider 5 or 6 in Venice, and 12 or 13 elsewhere. Bologna is 1-hour drive from here, while Firenze is 2 hours and a half, by motorway (if everthing goes well, which is not always the case with the Appennines route). Let's see if others show up and then decide.

G'day all - my wife and I are off to Italy in a week's time for a month, and it would be good to catch up with any PDML'ers who may be available during the trip. We'll be in Verona 31/10 and 1/11, Venice 2/11 till 7/11 . Then we have ten days with no fixed itinerary, but will be driving between Venice and Rome, where we will be from 16/11 until 26/11. In the gap between Venice and Rome, we're thinking Ravenna - Forli - Bologna - Firenze. Any takers? If we can arrange a meet up, I'll email my mobile number so that rendezvous can be arranged!

I logged a little over seven miles on varied terrain -- mostly highway, but some gravel and a little bit of smooth dirt trail. I can report that the bike most definitely needs new tires as I believe they've developed bad spots in them from sitting in the same spot deflated for too long. There's a very noticeable bump in them at cruising speed. In any event, I didn't find a great deal in the way of interesting backdrops for a seven-mile ride -- but, then, I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have due to the tires distracting me, and I didn't want to wander too far off the beaten path not knowing how well they'd stand up. I got three shots, two of which are on the same backdrop, but with different orientation. I think I like the landscape orientation better than the portrait, but I figured I'd post both to see what others might think. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157627947664712/ Excellent set.

Something that I noticed on both this, and the rocket launch photo is the unnatural looking vibrance of the grass. I think that this is also suffering from dynamic range issues. The details in the tree are lost, but the clouds are blown out. This is one of those shots that I always bracket with the intent of combining for better dynamic range. I don't mean the crazy tone mapping, just getting shadow details without blowing out the highlights. As it is, it's a few stops short of a full palette. The trailers in the background are rather distracting also. What is really nice however, is the reflection of the clouds in the water. I think that you could make a huge improvement with just a square crop of the bottom of the frame, lighten it up and tone down the saturation a touch. Or, just a hunch, knock out the saturation all together. I think it would have worked best if you had gotten closer to the water so that it filled a lot more of the image, and exposed to the right so that the clouds in the reflection were just shy of blowing out. The top half, trees against the clouds is nice, but not spectacular and the dark tones of the tree fighting against the cloud highlights is too big of a technical challenge, one which can't overcome the clutter of the light poles, fences etc. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (from dos4est) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The rear derailleur was useless (broken idler gears) so I bought the closest thing I could find that would fit. Everything has changed on bikes since this was manufactured, so the chain widths are different. That means I can only reach 8 gears now instead of the original 10.

Maybe it's just the high percentage of Y chromosomes, or maybe something about photography attracts gear heads. Walt's recent post has prompted several people to talk about their bikes, but I bet almost every one on this list has a camera, and most of you know how to use it. So, how about posting photos of your bikes? I suspect that there are some interesting ones owned by the members of the PDML. Realizing that I have *no* photo of my bike at all, anywhere, I decided to go all out and get a proper shot. I cleared a wall in my office/studio and dragged the subject upstairs. I hadn't yet broken-in my new convertible umbrella, so I set up to light with 2 strobes, left right. So here it is: a 1973 vintage Dawes Galaxy. I bought it new for $219 from Bloor Cycle in Toronto. It's a touring bike with 27 road tires on aluminum rims, center-pull brakes, Reynolds 531 double butted steel tubing and a real Brooks leather seat. And even, it looks like, cottered cranks. Very nice. A couple of summers ago I got it out of storage, completely tore it down, cleaned it and replaced hopelessly broken stuff. The rear derailleur was useless (broken idler gears) so I bought the closest thing I could find that would fit. Everything has changed on bikes since this was manufactured, so the chain widths are different. That means I can only reach 8 gears now instead of the original 10. If you have friction shifters, and it looks like you do, you should be able to hit all of the gears. The gear spacing only comes into play as an issue with indexed shifters (is that the right term?). When I built up Vita, my legnano, I converted it from 10 speeds to 18. Now, I think it is 21, with the aid of a mountain bike rear deraileur. Is there any chance that you have the motion stops on your rear deraileur set wrong? Which gear won't it go into? But it runs and the ride is wonderful. I love the stiffness of steel. I've ridden modern fat-tubed aluminum bikes and they just feel heavy and spongy to me. The irony is that aluminum frames are stiffer than steel. http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2254722/1/PDML?h=e7f676 (It's the bike, not the girl on the left.)

Spectral Photography?
Submitted for your perusal... here's a photo I snapped a week ago in a state park near Augusta, Michigan. Notice the globular lights on the left side of the frame and what appears to be light shining towards the center of the frame: http://www.calarti.com/peso/2011-0435_tu.jpg Here's the frame taken immediately before that one: http://www.calarti.com/peso/2011-0435_tu.jpg Yeah - I drew the circle on the second one to show where the lights were on the first. At first I thought that this must be lens flare of some sort, but I'm certain the sun was behind me. The trail proceeds to the north and while it twists and turns a bit as it follows the edge of a sinkhole lake, it never strays more than from NW to NE. The shot was taken around 2 PM local time last Saturday, which I reckon to be about 11:30 true local time - which would put the sun in the south-southeast area. Behind the bushes that the light is emanating from is a big empty field - just soybean stubble for a couple hundred yards. Taken on an Mz-S with an FA 20-35 f4 zoom, #29 deep red filter, lens hood in place. No Photoshopping other than contrast and tone adjustments. The photo was shot on Neopan 400 pushed to ISO 16000 and developed in HC-110 Dil B. I checked the negatives and there are no developer / agitation marks. The lights are in the negative as areas of density. The area of density does extend beyond the frame, into the sockets on the film. This is the last frame on the role and there are no kinks or folds on it (or elsewhere on the roll...) I'm guessing a pin-hole light leak in my changing bag? Any one else ever get this sort of thing?

Re: PPG relaunched...
If you upload pictures with the conditions that they have set in the agreement, then they would be in the clear to use the pictures without payment. As you say, it's exceedingly unlikely, but they could. Generally what you are doing is granting them a non-exclusive usage license that allows them to basically do whatever they want with the pictures. As Mark's excellent blog post points out though, it's far more trouble than it's generally worth to try to exploit the pictures for direct monetary gain. Displaying them is usually the extend of how they use them. On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 12:50 AM, Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org wrote: I logged in... Ghm...

Having the photographer's name visible is clearly a at variance with the stated guideline The photographer of each image available for voting will remain anonymous during this process.

Re: PPG relaunched...
Another thing I've noticed is that any photos that were 'pending' before are now missing in action (or at least mine are). Looks like those ones will need to be uploaded again (then again, if this is general for all users, where do the 'voting' images come from?)
