PESO: Ginger and Apples
Hi all, Here's a shot I grabbed this weekend with Larry's K100Ds and my K 50/1.4 -- taken at a Halloween party and hayride put on for the kids by my local Fraternal Order of Eagles. This young lady had just finished bobbing for apples and was drying her hair off (and messing with me by pulling the towel back down over her head while I was trying to get a shot of her). http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/6275261165/ ISO 400, 1/400, f8 Comments and critiques, as always, welcome.

Very silly Geso, Jupiter's moons
The only point of these photos is seeing if they could be done. They are pictures of Jupiter's moons taken using the astrotracer with my tamron 300/2.8 plus both the 2x and the 1.4x teleconverters, the sigma 50-500 and the FA77. I blew my math and said that the focal length of the tammy was 700, when it's really 840, so the astrotracer didn't work as well as it could have. I think that it says something about the resolution of today's sensors that I can get photos where you can discern several of Jupiter's moons using a 77mm lens. Some more of tonight's experiments at: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157627965578134/ I'm starting to learn how to make the astrotracer work, when I have some time, I'll need to learn image stacking. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.

Re: Spectral Photography?
Hi Mark, I think a light leak that tight and tidy is unlikely. it would probably be more diffuse.

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?

Thanks, Brian. Yes, I think you are right about the distractions. The striped object is a whirly gig or little windmill that is placed next to a seedling to scare away the deer. The white object is a marker for the Invisible fence that marks the boundaries of the yard for the dog. Bog probably should be removed. The dog looks like he is catching something thrown to him, but that is not the case. He throws it up himself, then leaps to snatch it in the air and whips it back and forth furiously.

In this post he talks about the foul weather capabilities of the K-5 and says he'll be writing more about it in the future. http://thedigitalstory.com/2011/10/pentax_k-5_dslr_in_t.html George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com -- 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.
Re: PESO - Nothing...
Bulent, The photo's colors are marvelous, almost shades of pastels. I wouldn't think you could make this minimalist photo so interesting. My eyes keep moving from the tan grass to the blue sky and back again. The vehicle tracks help lead my eye from foreground to background. This photo captures a very bright and happy mood in my mind. Nice work. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 1:47 AM, Bulent Celasun bulent.cela...@gmail.com wrote: Sorry! I did not realize that!

More notes on the astrotracer
Once I've fully figured things out, I should probably right a complete review of it. But, here are a few more items that I've noticed: 1) The blue LED on the back is way too bright, and shines in your eye when you're trying to find the viewfinder at night. Stupid, stupid stupid, they should have pointed it up rather than back. At the very least they could use camera settings to note whether to shine it bright or dim. I put a little blue tape over it, which helps. 2) Can't set the focal length for shake reduction high enough for really long lenses. With normal shake reduction this isn't a huge issue. 3) It works well, but not perfectly. I don't know whether it is from not matching the focal length perfectly, or the sensor only operating linearly and not rotating. It will be interesting to see how well Adobe anti-smear software works at correcting that. If it's just a question of not setting things properly, they could do a trick like with white balance, where they look at the shot, detect the length and direction of the trails, and adjust things accordingly. 4) The user interface sucks. I blew too many shots because when taking a second shot I pressed the shutter, rather than pressing OK to take a picture, then pressing the shutter. If you want to look at a photo, you've got to go through a dozen button presses to get back to the take a picture with astrotracer screen. Likewise if you want to set something, like if you are bracketing a shot and want to change ISO. 5) Jupiter is bright enough to use for setting focus. 6) If I were to do a lot more of this I would need a seriously expensive tripod head. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.

Re: Spectral Photography?
Mark, I hope you also noticed the light beam coming from the bottom, and diverging toward those lights? There may be also bright spot at the bottom edge (or it might be coming from a bright part of the ground?). It might be consistent with Paul's hypothesis. I think it you've managed to photograph a ghost. Have you contacted the ghostbusters yet? :-) Oh, wait... it might be a UFO.

Re: Spectral Photography?
It could also have been a piece of dirt that prevented that part of the image from being fixed. After rinsing, when exposed to the light, it would have continued to develop. In some thirty years of darkroom work, I encountered a number of weird effects that were undoubtedly the results of bad chemistry or film imperfections. Lots of opportunity for things to go wrong.

The Q, on the other hands, does rotate the sensor when compensating shake. Whan testing the Q, I had that evidence in some frames.

PESO - Cauldron
G'day all Another one from my short break on the central coast of New South Wales. I wanted to do some long exposure shots around dusk so I took quite a number of shots similar to this. The long exposure was achieved by a combination of small aperture (f22), low ISO (100) and stacked ND filters. This is probably the best of them although I'm still working on some of the others. This one used two stacked filters, a Cokin ND4 and a Cokin circular polariser (used just for its ND effect). It's a 4 second exposure looking east - the colour in the sky is being reflected from the faint glow in the western sky, the sun having already set. The longer exposure versions were achieved by adding another (el-cheapo) ND4 filter. The problem with these was the introduction of a strong magenta colour cast which is taking a lot of work to correct in post. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1370864/PESO/slides/_IGP3232a-peso.html Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Re: Challenge: Photos of your bikes

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. Luckily, they weren't frozen, so came off for cleaning and lube. 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? The problem is this el-cheapo derailleur doesn't have adjustable motion stops, just a fixed travel -- doubtless made for a specific modern standard cluster. So I have the choice of missing the largest gear nearest the spokes or the smallest. I chose to miss the largest for now. I'll replace the cheap derailleur at some point, or else spring for nice new lugged steel touring bike like the nice one that Bob linked to, or the Rivendells. 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. Yeah, I misspoke myself (pun not intended, this time). Of course the steel frame is springy and naturally shock-absorbent.
