Lightroom: Copying images to a separate location for separate review and processing.
Over the weekend I got about 250 images at a soccer game. My usual practice is to cycle through the images after import till I get down to a much smaller group that I want to keep. Then I go through those and select a still smaller group for processing and/or export. It can be a little time consuming. With this group I've gone directly to selection of a group of images that are half decent. [They're not good enough to share here, but the kids on the team will appreciate them.] That group needs to be pared down some more, and I find it cumbersome and confusing to do that while the images are still in the larger set. I'd like to pull the 15 or 20 initial candidates out so I can work with them separately. I don't want to physically remove them from the larger set, but to make copies in a different location. Is there a way to do that? I looked into collections in the documentation. Probably if I read a little more and started experimenting with the suggestions I get there I'd figure out a way to do it. But that would take time, too, and I'd like to get the images to the kids ASAP.

Re: Lightroom: Copying images to a separate location for separate review and processing.
Sort the 250 images into a collection eg. Kids Soccer - 12/11/11 then give the keepers a star rating (press 3, for 3 stars, 4 for 4... etc) say 3 to start with. You can then filter the images withing that collection by star rating, and do your second pass, give them a 5 star rating. Change the filter setting to 5 and do a 3rd pass selection, by filtering out the ones that aren't quite right (ie make them 4) and they will drop out of the filter selection.

Re: OT: Troubleshooting.. all-white images?
Thanks, guys... Yes, I agree that the camera is headed in for service. I was just curious if anyone had ever encountered such odd symptoms before, or if it was a classic sign of sensor meltdown syndrome or some such.

GESO: Low-light photos
The 645D is a real battery hog on long exposures. Four half-hour exposures is the most I can hope to get before it runs out of juice. But the results are pretty good. The K-5 is a small miracle for nighttime photography. I frequently ended up using its 12800 ISO to determine exposure before cranking the ISO down and go into Bulb mode. Worked well for estimating exposure for the 645D as well.

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: Kodak and the 645D sensor
Along similar lines, I've been reading a recent book by Bob Lutz - 'Car Guys vs Bean Counters' in which he outlines issues that he says led to the down fall of GM. His main theme is that its time to stop the dominance of the number crunchers, and give the reins to the 'product guys' - those with vision passion for the customer and their product or services. A great read for me as I've lived thru the same issues at Ford that he talks about at GM - his take is very insightful. BTW - I met Bob Lutz when he was at Ford - he has an overwhelming presence and can dominant any meeting he is attending. He is a true Car Guy.

They merely want to be a sustainable DIGITAL company. Big difference there. :-) My money says the won't qualify as either sustainable or digital before long. It's now been a day since I read the article. It seems to me the bean counters are basically throwing in the towel. Due to poor management, market conditions, or a combination of circumstances, they'd rather get the cold hard cash for the assets than attempt to grow the assets. And the desperation to stay alive involves selling patents. The firm buying the Image Sensor Solutions business will likely continue to employ workers as they would have no expertise outside of that. Maybe they can make or keep that business profitable? What Kodak's focus as a product line will be is puzzling though if they're essentially throwing RD overboard. Even though they will 'continue to have' access to the image sensor technology involved in this transaction for use in its own products, it's hard to understand the relationship. Once the business is sold, would they have access to future technology not involved in this transaction? I would think likely not. So it all seems like a dead end street.

I wanted to do some long exposure shots around dusk so I took quite a number of shots similar to this.

Not sure it's working, but at least my eyes don't hurt as much! A couple of weeks ago I met up with some (mostly ex) Pentaxians in Rockport, MA. I wasn't feeling especially inspired (haven't been in a while) but I was there for the human warmth more than anything else, which was just as well cos it was windy and bloody cold! I did take some OK photos, but the one I wanted to share with you guys was this particular one that I took ESPECIALLY FOR THE PDML. I hope you appreciate the frozen fingers I suffered in order to take it...and I hope you realise why it was I took it for you. (I recommend you click on the Full screen button for better viewing.) http://bit.ly/rrUZ9H I also ask for forgiveness because I used a Samsung NX10, purchased the week of this outing.

Re: OT - Steam Rail Tour of New Zealand
Is he going down to ride on the Kingston Flyer? That one's only just started up again but it's in the middle of nowhere. There's also the Weka Pass Railway just north of Christchurch. They're the only steam trains I know of in the South Island but I'm no reference on the matter. The Taieri Gorge Railway is worth doing if he gets to Dunedin. I assume he'll do the Coastal Pacific and Tranz Alpine, they are both must-do. If he has some spare time (and transport) in Wellington, he could pop over the infamous Rimutaka Hill Road to see the old fell locomotive on display in the museum at Featherston. Apparently it's the only remaining fell loco in the world. That railway is now the Rimutaka Rail Trail which is spectacular but very steep. There's really not much passenger rail left in the South Island. We used to have a service from Christchurch to Invercargill but it was closed down a long time ago. He'll probably be underwhelmed when he sees our railway station. The stations in Wellington and Dunedin are beautiful though.

You *would* like Rockport, wouldn't you! :-D #24 struck me as Rockport within a frame in this time of year, which is why I took it. It was the last one I took there and it seemed fitting, like a final paragraph that condenses the story before finishing up.

If the train's running late, the naturally air-conditioned waiting room would make for a pleasant place to relax in the 45 deg C heat of South Australia's outback summer. Not. I'm currently reading the autobiography of Lisa Tamati, an NZ-born ultradistance runner who has done a number of very long, very hot races (Badwater, Marathon des Sables, etc). Earlier this year she completed La Ultra, for which those other two count towards qualifying (yes it's that hard). Anyway, I'm only about halfway through the book where she'd found out about the permanent kidney damage she'd done to herself from trekking through the Libyan desert for just over a week on 2 litres of water a day. So be careful if you spend any time in that heat!

It's an organised tour with Mainline Steam (http://www.mainlinesteam.co.nz/) using mainly their own locomotives and carriages. The tour started in Auckland, headed across to Napier and Gisborne, then down to Wellington and Picton. Then across Cook Strait to Christchurch and through Arthur's Pass to Greymouth before heading back to Auckland. At the moment he's probably on the ferry heading back to the North Island. They had some time in Christchurch - Chris had been there before and loved the place. He's been shocked by the damage. He's putting together a photo book of the trip which I'm looking forward to seeing.
