 Hi Everyone:
 
 Funny thing happened yesterday:  it was a free Saturday--hadn't had one of 
 those in  a long time--and I headed downtown to this little Halloween thing 
 for kids thinking I'd have a major all day photo walk.  I was out the door at 
 10:30 a.m.  I took a few snaps at the Halloween gig, then lost interest.  
 Weird because I knew I had to do my picture of the week.  When I made this 
 picture of the young girl, I had decided I had my PAW, and it was time to 
 move on.  I got lunch and walked around all day, popping in stores, people 
 watching, but no photography.  Oh, maybe a few shots here and there, but 
 nothing really to speak of.  I didn't get home until 7:30 or 8p.  Not a lot 
 of photography, but sure had a nice day.  Feet were sore though.  Despite not 
 putting a lot of effort into photography yesterday, I do like this one.

I really like it myself.  There's something about it that just works.


  Oh, and I upgraded to Lion last night; so far so good.  Much prefer the 
 email changes.  Oh, and did I mention I came home with an iPad2 yesterday?  
 :-)

Re: Aperture Size Question

2011-10-31 Thread Collin Brendemuehl
It also makes the notation of aperture = f/x much more meaningful.

f is your focal length and x is your diameter fraction.

It's why you see apertures listed as f/2 or f/64 and etc. It's
appropriated from a formula.


In addition, what does that letter f stand for anyway?
It is a function.
This formula/function allows you to use two different focal length
lenses and obtain the same exposure.  It resolves the problem of
differing aperture sizes and lens focal lengths..

 You don't need to calculate area, square any values, etc.

 F-stop is simply the ratio between aperture diameter and focal length.
 So the same plate (with, by definition, the same diameter aperture)
 will have f-stops that differ by a factor of X (two, in your case) when
 used with lenses that have focal lengths that differ by a factor of X.

Thanks for looking and for your comments, Chris and Jack!

Yes, Chris, you are right.  I would have liked to get a better angle
to isolate the subject against a cleaner background, but to get even
this, I had to stand in a very busy pathway, and I just barely found a
gap to grab this shot.

Besides, I was not really looking for a portrait as much as an image
that showed the activity of the event, using the colorfully dressed
gent as a focal point in the crowd.

In the Midwest Winter and Summer are seasons of extremes to be endured and

emerging from dark loamy soil. Fall is a time for reflection; time for walks in 
a forest so quiet you can almost hear the falling leaves hit the ground.

 the pose does some odd things with the symmetry of the breasts;
 the lighting on the cheekbones isn't flattering, etc., etc.

Re: Challenge: Photos of your bikes

2011-10-31 Thread Larry Colen



On 10/29/2011 11:02 AM, frank theriault wrote:


What I don't understand is the functional advantage of riding a fixie.


I think Bob W hit the highlights in terms of ease and economy of
maintenance and repairs.  Given the miles messengers put on their
bikes, less maintenance is a big deal, especially in the winter when
salt and grit eat brake pads and bearings.  Fewer moving parts means
fewer things to replace/repair and less down-time.


I can understand that.



Fixies are superior in bad weather conditions, especially where
traction is compromised.  No applying of the brakes only to have your
wheel spinning for several revolutions before the rims are squeegied
dry by the brake pads then having them grab, cause a skid (often
mid-corner) and fall.  In the snow or on ice, the speed of the rear
wheel can be precisely moderated and corners can be taken much more
safely.


That makes a lot more sense.



I think there's something more than that, though.  It's hard to
explain if you've not ridden a brakeless fixie.  One rides a different
way.  Since steering out of danger (rather than panic braking) is
often the best emergency avoidance measure,


A point that is emphasized in the Bondurant driving school as well.


one must be aware of
what's going on around them.  One tends to look farther down the road
for imminent danger, assessing possibilities and being aware of escape
routes much earlier than on regular bikes.  It's been compared to
roller blading.


All things that I work on teaching my driving students.



On a track bike, one gets more of a sense that rider and bike are a
single unit which seems to make a difference zig-zagging through city
traffic.

Again, it's hard to explain (sort of a zen thing) unless you've ridden one.

   Do you often have to pedal backwards?

I can't pedal backwards.  If I do, the bike goes backwards.


Exactly what I was asking.  That was the obvious, to me, thing a fixie 
can do that other bikes can't, is ride backwards.





And why not have brakes, other than to show that you're too cool to need them?


No doubt, that coolness factor is part of it, at least for some
people, but there are certainly other reasons.  I guess it has to do
with that zen thing, I suppose.  It's analogous to those who would
say that people actually take more chances if they wear a helmet.  If
you know you have a brake as a back-up, you'll ride differently, take
more chances, knowing that you've got a brake as a bail-out.  Riding
brakeless is a more pure way to ride - you've always got to be in
control.  Like walking a tightrope without a net, if you will.


I guess you don't have any problem with your chain breaking on hills.




  Even if you can pedal backwards hard enough to lock up the rear wheel in an 
emergency, that only gives you half the traction for stopping (less actually) 
than if you also had a front brake.


The idea is to not need to panic-stop, or if you do to steer out of it
(see above).


I see, so I should take the seatbelts out of my car since the idea is to 
not hit anything.  :-)







In the bay area the fixie fad has served to reduce our hipster population as 
several times a year, someone on one fails to stop for a red light.


I've seen lots of newbies riding fixed gear bikes in ways that scare
the hell out of me.  They shouldn't be riding them.

I always advise anyone considering riding a fixed gear bike to ride a
front brake for at least a year before going brakeless - it takes at
least that long to really, ~really~ learn how to ride one properly
IMHO.  Lots of people I know have tried and decided that fixies aren't
for them.  It's a matter of personal taste, I guess.


I can certainly understand that.



For me they're great for city riding, but If I go on a long right in
the country, freewheels, gears and brakes are a necessity, no doubt
about it.  Long rides on track bikes are just too tiring.


I can understand that. If I still lived in Davis, where we had to ride 
20+ miles to get to a hill more challenging than a freeway overpass, I 
could see that a fixie would be a great workout, because you can never 
just coast.




In town, however, they're fun, fast and (yes) cool.


Five years ago, I managed to highside my bicycle on a ride.  I was 
probably about 10 miles from home, halfway down a rather steep road. My 
cell phone battery died before I could find someone to pick me up. My 
rear wheel had been taco'd, but I managed to jump on the rim and get it 
straight enough that the wheel would turn if I disconnected the rear 
brake. What I hadn't factored into the equation was that I had a minor 
fracture in my left elbow, and didn't have enough hand strength to 
operate the front brake. I got on the bike, to try to ride home, in a 
short section that was about 10% grade, and discovered what it would be 
like to ride a fixie with a busted chain.


Thanks for the explanation, I certainly understand your points and 
philosophy.  I figured that in your case it was

Somewhere I've still got a shot I took at a University Photo Club

(I often wondered how many of them actually had film in the camera).

Frank,
 
Good one.  
 
I thought about taking a similar one last weekend at a Tae Kwon Do tournament, 
but the guy was using a tablet to video the opening ceremonies, and he was 
moving so much he was frustrating.  
 
By the way, the tablets are simply annoying when used to take photos.  The cell 
phones don't bother me, but the tablets do.  Or maybe it was just the people 
that were using the tablets.

This photo doesn't show it so well, but she looked like she was using a 
DSLR, but holding the camera several inches in front of her face. Too 
close to use the LCD, but too far to use the viewfinder, or so it looked.


There is also the fun theme of photos taking photos of others.  I

PESO: Yet another photographer, or Return of the K-x

2011-10-31 Thread Walt Gilbert

Hi all,

My K-x arrived home on Saturday (and Larry gets his K100Ds back!), so I 
took it out to a Halloween party at a friend's house who asked if I'd 
take photos in exchange for beer and food.  Not being one to pass up 
either of those, I agreed.  And, since there's an Everyone's a 
Photographer theme going, I thought I'd post my contribution:


http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/6299057437/

(It's a Canon XSi.)

Oh, I don't know.  I was standing right beside you when you took that shot,
and when I looked over to see what you were capturing I just assumed you
were intrigued by the spray-on legwear.  I think the shot is a pretty

IIRC, they looked slightly less pink in real life - still skin-tone,
but with a bit more of a tan colour than this picture shows.

K100Ds with the K-50/1.4 and headed out on the bike (on which I had the
rims straightened one rainy day this week, with wonderful results) down
a road I spent a lot of time on as a kid.  Here's what I came back with:

Comment, critiques and suggestions are, as always, most welcome.

Thanks!

Walt

  And, of course, you only took the shot because she was holding a camera 
  ...
  
  This photo doesn't show it so well, but she looked like she was
  using a DSLR, but holding the camera several inches in front of her
  face. Too close to use the LCD, but too far to use the viewfinder,
  or so it looked.
  
  There is also the fun theme of photos taking photos of others.  I
  honestly don't remember the tights as being nearly that provocative
  in person.  This is one of those photos that came out very
  differently than it looked in person.
  
  Oh, I don't know.  I was standing right beside you when you took that shot,
  and when I looked over to see what you were capturing I just assumed you
  were intrigued by the spray-on legwear.  I think the shot is a pretty
  accurate reflection of how things appeared (to me, at least) at the time.
 
 At first glance, I thought she was pantsless.

As I mention in another post, the colour balance here makes that a
slighlty easier mistake to make than it was at the scene.  But at the
time I did wonder if she realised just what an image she was presenting.
(I also wondered if she would be bothered in the slightest if she did know).

Re: Aperture Size Question

It also makes the notation of aperture = f/x much more meaningful.

f is your focal length and x is your diameter fraction.

It's why you see apertures listed as f/2 or f/64 and etc. It's
appropriated from a formula.


 In addition, what does that letter f stand for anyway?
 It is a function.
 This formula/function allows you to use two different focal length
 lenses and obtain the same exposure.  It resolves the problem of
 differing aperture sizes and lens focal lengths..

 the f-stop two stops lower in number on a 50mm.

 That's doing it the hard way ...

 You don't need to calculate area, square any values, etc.

 F-stop is simply the ratio between aperture diameter and focal length.
 So the same plate (with, by definition, the same diameter aperture)
 will have f-stops that differ by a factor of X (two, in your case) when
 used with lenses that have focal lengths that differ by a factor of X.

  Love the skin-tone tights.
 
 IIRC, they looked slightly less pink in real life - still skin-tone,
 but with a bit more of a tan colour than this picture shows.

Yep, it's working. I've just uploaded a few shots from my trip to
Ireland. 

I also tried uploading an old film shot (a scanned slide). That didn't
take. Apparently it the system expects to see EXIF data of some sort.
I eventually got it to upload by pasting the image onto a JPEG from a
digital shot, flattening the resulting image and giving it the file
name of the original. Then I manually entered the metadata on the
upload page. I don't know what they'll make of the discrepancy between

But if you're the sort that likes to haul ash, it's sure to give you a 
woody. I'm sure that some think it's pretty cherry, but for me it's only 
Oak-A, definitely not the bike I'm pining fir.

 Hi Everyone:
 
 Funny thing happened yesterday:  it was a free Saturday--hadn't had one
 of those in  a long time--and I headed downtown to this little Halloween
 thing for kids thinking I'd have a major all day photo walk.  I was out
 the door at 10:30 a.m.  I took a few snaps at the Halloween gig, then
 lost interest.  Weird because I knew I had to do my picture of the week. 
 When I made this picture of the young girl, I had decided I had my PAW,
 and it was time to move on.  I got lunch and walked around all day,
 popping in stores, people watching, but no photography.  Oh, maybe a few
 shots here and there, but nothing really to speak of.  I didn't get home
 until 7:30 or 8p.  Not a lot of photography, but sure had a nice day. 
 Feet were sore though.  Despite not putting a lot of effort into
 photography yesterday, I do like this one.  Oh, and I upgraded to Lion
 last night; so far so good.  Much prefer the email changes.  Oh, and did
 I mention I came home with an iPad2 yesterday?  :-)
 
 Cheers, Christine

That's really nice.  I'm not sure that she really wanted to be
photographed but you've done well.  The slightly grungy background works
well too.

I hope your experience with Lion is better than this:

I might as well post a link to my shots from Saturday that more closely 
approximate something someone might want to see:

I think that my best shot of the day, might be titled everybody's a critic
