Hi Paul, nice capture: proper composition and mood.
I'm only disturbed by the visible chromatic aberration on branches and light 
pole in the upper part of the picture.

BTW, is that your daughter, beside Gracie?

Re: OT: FILM shot wins Pop Photo contest

[Paul Ewins]

Actually a lot of the newer lenses don't get much in the way of extra coverage 
as they are stopped down wheras some of the older designs get a huge amount.  
The difficulty is defining coverage, since a lot of the older lenses get very 
soft at the edges. In some cases older examples of the same design will have 
more coverage than newer ones since the manufacturers have tweaked them to 
reduce the image circle so that the edges don't get too soft. If you are 
contact printing from an ULF neg, say 12x20, then you really don't need much 
resolution but if you are doing mural prints from 4x5 the you will want it to 
be bleedingly sharp across the entire neg. The 8x10 and ULF guys will often 
distinguish between the area that is illuminated and the area that is covered, 
with coverage being a subjective measurement based on the photographer's own 
requirements for sharpness.  The phrase YMMV gets used a lot in discussions of 
LF lenses.

Ashley Pomeroy opinion piece to end the year on dpreview.com

[Darren Addy]

http://www.dpreview.com/articles/8864725448/2012-the-dust-blows-forward

The article begins with:
"Disclaimer: I've deliberately avoided reading any of the other
"end-of-year, roll-on-next-year" articles that tend to appear around
this time. I don't have to; I can form my own opinions. You're lucky
I'm here to help you. The following is entirely my own mind, folded
out flat and laid onto the page."

Skip down to the Ricoh part for some humorous observations (if nothing
of real substance).

That portion ends with the following:
"If the company still decides to keep the Ricoh name, and if it has
any sense, it would use the Pentax name for a higher-spec, higher-end
version of its Ricoh cameras, although curiously the company seems to
believe that Ricoh itself is the prestige brand, which is nonsense."

I think all lenses do get an increased image circle as it is stooped 
down. Generally this is only important to the large format user who 
depends on a large image circle to allow the use of camera movements.
Often, in order to cover the entire format when using significant tilt 
of the lens or shifting of the lens or film, the lens also needs to be 
stopped down to secure coverage of the corners of the film

Re: OT: FILM shot wins Pop Photo contest

[Darren Addy]

I should add that FOV is really only a perfect comparison to use when
comparing similar ratio rectangles (or other shape). It's not just a
function of the lens but the image circle "crop".

With that in mind some adjustment would be needed to strictly compare
a 4x5 (or similar ration 8x10) view camera lens FOV with a 24x36mm
35mm frame (which would need to be 24x30mm to be a straight-across
comparison).

With regard to the 35mm lenses, yes, the Pentax Forums lens database
lists the FOV for horizontal and diagnonal for both 35mm full frame
and APS-C sensors.

Re: OT: FILM shot wins Pop Photo contest

[Stan Halpin]

I don't know the answer to your question. But I am curious about one thing in 
your note - when others talk about FOV, I have always visualized the horizontal 
coverage as the issue. I just looked at Wikipedia for FOV info and they point 
out that (of course!) you can measure the FOV horizontally, vertically, or 
diagonally. I am curious why you use the diagonal in this case. Did the specs 
of the lens you are referring to explicitly refer to diagonal FOV?

FYI: Class 10 SDHC cards - some informal tests

[Igor Roshchin]

Hello All!

I hope you had/ are having a merry Christmas (or as they called it in 
Futurama "Ex-Mas" :-) ), sweet Hanukkah, and are about to have Happy New
Year!


I just came across some tests for the 16 GB Class SDHC Cards by
Transcend, - posted on Amazon. Since it is a recurring topic, 
I thought I'd share this finding with you:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B002WE4HE2/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_2?ie=UTF8&index=2

Notice, that the tests show card-to-card and test-to-test variations.


I was able to find one such test for Sandisk Extreme 16 GB:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B002HFER6O/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_1?ie=UTF8&index=1
It doesn't seem to stand up to the promise of 30 MB/s.


By the way, does anybody know the difference between Sandisk Extreme SDHC
"HD Video" card, and Sandisk Extreme SDHC with the same Class 10 and
30 MB/s rating but without "HD Video" label? 
Are they optimized differently, or is it just a marketing ploy?

Additionally, I am confused to see "Class 6" and "30 MB/s" on the same
card:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Performance-SDSDX3-016G-Package/dp/B003EGBHHW/
Sandisk's website has the same images for "Extreme" cards for "Camera",
"Advanced Camera", and "Camcorder" cards, and no explanation about the
differences.
I remember that I was looking into this questions previously, but
I don't remember if I found any clear answer.. probably not..

Re: OT: FILM shot wins Pop Photo contest

[Darren Addy]

Learned something today. Never even heard of plasmats before.

That (winning) shot looks FAR wider (to my eyes) than a 24mm on a 35mm
film camera.
I was looking at the specs and comparing the field of view it gives to
the equiv. focal length with similar field of view on a 35mm.
Not sure if that's the proper way to compare apples and oranges, but
when the lens specs say 105 degree "maximum coverage" I'm guessing
that would be most like the "diagonal FOV" on a 35mm lens.

The diagonal FOV on a 24mm Takumar lens is only 84 degrees, 35mm full frame.
The diagonal FOV on a 20mm Takumar lens is only 94 degrees, 35mm full frame
The diagonal FOV on a 15mm Takumar lens is 111 degrees, 35mm full frame.

So extrapolating, it looks like the FOV would be similar to an 18mm
lens on a 35mm full frame.

If that's not the proper way to look at it, I'd welcome a correction.

Hi Philip. I really don't want the series to become abut the place -- it's

some of the pics are wide lens pics -- like today's -- and they include more of

Now that you have aroused my curiosity with a very interesting series, 
how about some wider shots to help put the excellent photos in context?

My neighbor who took care of Ashley for me when I went to Boston went
come for Christmas - so I returned the cat feeding and such.

She recently adopted two new fellas... one greeted me and allowed pats -
the other I only saw disappearing around corners.

There had been some mischief overnight... was Santa there? or... ?

K-5, WOW

Hello,

My wife got me a K-5 for Christmas and all I can say is, WOW.  What a great 
camera.  


Seems like I remember a used battery grip advertised on the list for $125. 
Anybody have one they want to sell?

Warmest regards,

Robert

You know it's working 'cause you can see the hubs go round Cotty. 

Couldn't do that with 8-track!   :-)

My reel to reel is like a big ol' cassette machine. You can see it working too. 
  :-)


Actually, I use the shotgun on the camera, and a small Sony stereo mic (that is 
too hot) that I dangle below the camera, recording to a Sony  707 Mini-Disc 
recorder where I can control the volume somewhat.  

Synching is not a terrible problem as long as you make a visual and audible 
mark at the beginning of each scene and use yor iMac to put it all together. As 
you know, if you keep the scenes short, synch doesn't have much chance to get 
noticibly off. I will be using my Sony 8-channel board and mini-disc recorder 
to get the audio down to 2 or 4 tracks, depending. I've only practiced so far, 
but I will be recording 40-60 hours in January and March, which I'll be editing 
down to 2 hours for distribution to all my McAllister relatives from Texas west 
to the coast.

First of all, let me say that when it comes to being intuitively obvious and 
easy to use indesign sucks.


starting from scratch with InDesign for a non-trivial project is a worst-case 
scenario; it would probably be worth working through a video tutorial or book 
after this to see behind some of the issues you encountered


sorry i didn't have time to look it over earlier; i looked at version 4 and 
it's a pleasing layout; the juxtapositions are a little corny at times, but 
they also illustrate your thought process in a very direct way, so you've 
succeeded in putting yourself into the book and had fun ... and not bad for a 
first InDesign job


technical notes: i worry about the bleed — you need to actually extend 
backgrounds and photos beyond the margin to get a bleed to work, and i can't 
tell that you've done that; if you have, some of your text may be too close to 
the edge


i think i see different shades of black in the backgrounds, so maybe you've 
tackled this, but use caution butting "blackish" areas of photos against a 
black background — generally a "rich" black will bet better in such cases

I'm not sure that the D700 has that much better performance than the D7000, 
unless you need wider angle.

The difference between the D700 and the K-5 is even less.  The Nikon pro bodies 
have an annoying ability to retain high prices, even on the used market.  Even 
so, if I were shopping for a D700, I'd probably wait a month or two until 
there's a rush of people upgrading to the D800.  

Even so, I'd probably go for the D800 if I could

Terriffic shot! Pay no attention to Cotty, the off-center framing is
brilliant.

That's great, Steve! The off-centeredness works for me. It emphasizes
a graceful S-curve outline of the face.

Yes, it was the X-10.  It was a casual snap, one of many taken when
trying to hopefully get one good one of a kitten.  I actually like the
asymmetry but I would have liked a bit more of the head.

I do like this new class of high end compacts.  I would like to try
the Q, but it was over $1000 to get the zoom version of the kit.

Hi all,

I hope everyone's having a great holiday season in the event you partake
of such things.  I got out and took a few photos today for the first
time in quite a while.  The weather has been either inhospitable, or
I've been up to my eyeballs in doing stuff.

Anyway, here's a couple of horse shots I grabbed today with the K-x and
K 50/1.4.  I didn't take many as there was a pretty chilly wind and I
didn't dress well for the conditions.  I just happened to spot the
horses out in the field across the street when I walked by the window
and thought it would be a good opportunity to knock some dust off the
shutter.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.  In the meantime, enjoy the
holidays!


Same to you Walt.

I like the colour in the first one, especially that rusty grass.

Thanks, Brian.  The color of the grass was what I liked about it, too.


The rendering of the second gives an attractive tonal range but I think
it's cropped a bit tight on the right.
I had the exact same concern and wondered if there might be a better way 
to crop it. Unfortunately, that's all the room I have on the right side 
of the image.  I'll have another go at experimenting with it and see if 
there's anything I can do with it.


Thanks for the input!

This is an excellent idea. Two people with iPhones/whatever at left and
right halfway to the front, then the camera can roam at the front. Sync
up to a the drums at the start/whatever. Be interesting to see how far
the sync drifts over the course of a performance when viewed in a timeline.

Unfortunately, I cannot say that I am back. The contrary is rather true.

Yet, I'd like to wish you all great holidays season, be it Hannukah,
Christmas, Civilian New Year or any other holiday that you celebrate
these days. May the coming new year be prosperous, healthy and full of
good fun.

My neighbor who took care of Ashley for me when I went to Boston went 
come for Christmas - so I returned the cat feeding and such.

She recently adopted two new fellas... one greeted me and allowed pats - 
the other I only saw disappearing around corners.

There had been some mischief overnight... was Santa there? or... ?

Well they have good reason to be self-satisfied, I should think.
I would love to live in Yorkshire. We have a number of friends in the
Leeds area and virtually all of my family have visited there except
me.
Daughter and photographer son-in-law honeymooned there.
A couple of the resulting images:

To be within striking distance of the Lake District, Cumbria, and
Scotland would be a landscape photographer's dream, I would think.
I hope to visit there with my wife at least once within the next few years.


Let me know if you do.  There are pleasanter places in the vicinity.

Mount Rainier creates several almost every day. Sometimes it will wear
a cap for many days. It's an air compression humidity thing. They are
formed by strong updrafts acting upon moist air at lower altitudes,
causing the air to cool to its dew point as it reaches the mountaintop
where it wraps around it . The cooled air then falls into the warmer
air and the condensed moisture dissipates (disappears).

I think...



In Yorkshire they're caused by smug clouds of self-satisfaction mingling

Which is why those particular clouds smell of beef dripping.
