I've thought of that.  I even have a couple of old cameras.  It's kind of a 
shame to wreck something that's not broken though.

Re: OT Some grey bloke explains Facebook

[John Sessoms]

I've got one. I don't currently have any way to watch television on it.

Basically, for the same price I could get either a 24" LCD monitor that 
also had a HDTV tuner or a 32" HDTV that had an input for computer 
video, so I bought the TV.


I do watch a little bit of TV; old programs that I like that I found a 
way to download & watch on the computer. YouTube has a lot of good stuff 
too.

True, that!

BTW, I don't own a TV either.

Down here this has been the wettest summer in recent memory, though

into some "fairy rings" of them at Audubon Park, but didn't have my

Last week was even more annoying. James Carville jogged past me in the

Re: PESO - In the Flow

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

I don't need to think about anything. You're in a public space you may get your 
picture taken. I really don't see why that's a problem. 

I also don't understand why a distance shot or passerby shot is okay (presuming 
they can be identified) but something closer isn't. It's not like I am sucking 
the soul out of them. 

People who hug in public places obviously don't mind strangers seeing what 
they're doing; neither should they mind being photographed.

Regardless of whether I take their photo, they're likely on a security video 
anyway...

Cheers,
frank, feeling very curmudgeonly this night

If you're going to use cloud storage, you probably should have duplicate
providers in case one of them gets megauploaded.


that's true if your only copy of a file is in the cloud (in which case i'd 
suggest three providers), but with Dropbox (and unlike Box and many others), 
you also have a local copy on as many machines as you have, of which you can 
(and should) make ordinary backups


i think if you need to count on cloud storage you should probably pay for it; 
my low-end hosting account at Dreamhost includes 50GB of file storage with no 
extra fees; i can buy more at the same rate as Dropbox Pro, but billed in GB 
increments


many other services (e.g. Amazon S3) are available for varying but reasonable 
costs, but the convenience varies also — i find Dropbox extremely convenient 
for sharing with others and across my devices, and that's what i need the most

Re: Mounting a laser behind K-mount lenses

[steve harley]

on 2012-08-19 15:25 Larry Colen wrote

Secondly, I'll want a way to mount one axially behind a k-mount lens.  M42 
would be sort of easy, just drill two holes on the same axis, one the size of 
the laser, one 42mm, and then thread the hole for m42 lenses.  I sort of did 
this with my current setup which uses an old 50mm Argus C3 lens.  This spreads 
the beam nicely, but I'd like to be able to change focal lengths to change the 
spread of the beam, and I have a much wider range of K-mount than m42 lenses.


no idea about laser sources, but if you'd like the K-mount and immediately 
surrounding chassis from an old A3000 i'll send it to you for shipping; it has 
a working quick release, and it appears the chassis rear presents a plane which 
is square to the light path, which should make it relatively easy to attach 
stuff properly to the back


there is also a momentary switch (for the backlight) and a toggle switch (for 
the self timer) which both still appear to work


another option you might consider is a bellows unit with K-mount on the front 
and M42 (or other) on the back


(if you want to go high-end i have a SMC 100/4 Bellows lens plus Auto-Bellows A 
for sale; the male K-mount ring uncouples from the back and a machine shop 
could easily fabricate a custom ring to replace it)

 examples of various attempts that I've made to process them:
 http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157631149650198/
 
 B&W, "straight color", tweaking the color temperature to bring some of the 
 red in.
 
 If I crank the exposure high enough that the blue midtones are visible, 
 then anything close to the highlights are totally blown out.  If I try to 
 keep some tonality in the musicians faces, then everything is darker than 
 I want.
 
 Anybody have any ideas on how to handle this?

PESO - In the Flow

[frank theriault]

I kind of broke a personal rule (or, more accurately, guideline) here.
 I don't like to photograph people from behind.  However, of the three
shots I got of this guy (I was bracketing) this one was the most
dynamic and gives the best feeling of speed:

http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2012/08/in-flow.html

Hope you enjoy.  Comments welcome.

I made a small lightroom catalog with the raw files (.pef) and posted it in a 
hidden directory on red4est.com

If you want to give it a try, ping me, and I'll email you the url.

The .pefs are still uploading, and will take quite a while, I expect.

pegged at 1.35 million by the law enforcement folk and many tens of thousands 
of cars, representing a broad spectrum, as evidenced by this lineup at a

Have you tried playing with the blue saturation and luminosity sliders
in the HSL panel? With pure blue lighting, it's likely that the colors
are out of gamut, resulting in lost detail.

Re: Processing crazy blue saturation in lightroom

[Larry Colen]

Also, often when it loads a new picture in, set to black and white, at the very 
start the picture will have a bit of noise, but a lot more detail, then when 
it's done loading/processing it'll snap to much less noise and way less detail, 
even though noise reduction is set to zero.  Any idea how to tweak it so that 
there's a bit less noise reduction happening?

Processing crazy blue saturation in lightroom

[Larry Colen]

Trio Garufa played at the local milonga last night.  They were light by blue 
LED spots.

I'm finding processing the photos to be very challenging.  Here are some 
examples of various attempts that I've made to process them:
http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157631149650198/

B&W, "straight color", tweaking the color temperature to bring some of the red 
in.

If I crank the exposure high enough that the blue midtones are visible, then 
anything close to the highlights are totally blown out.  If I try to keep some 
tonality in the musicians faces, then everything is darker than I want.

Anybody have any ideas on how to handle this?

Down here this has been the wettest summer in recent memory, though
most of the US has been drought-prone. It hasn't stopped raining all
day today. This has led to a population explosion of mushrooms
(actually, poisonous toadstools, I think) around the city. I've run
into some "fairy rings" of them at Audubon Park, but didn't have my
camera(!).

Last week was even more annoying. James Carville jogged past me in the

Re: PESO: Ugli Fungi

Well, then - According to my Audubon guide a likely suspect is a short 
stalked Suillus - which is a sort of bolete.  Kinda looks like it from

my field guide and your photo..but there are quite a few suillus's too.

kinda fun trying to find it for you tho

If you want to have even a good guess you needed to pluck one and turn it

Good to know what it was growing on.  if it is spongy underneath instead

It looks a bit like a bolete from the places where the critters bit.

still, with all that, you wouldn't be able to get it down to species.

It's a Maserati. Rather strangely, there are 2 of those living round the

generally the sort that attract Maserati owners. I suspect they are just
pieds-a-terre and parking spots for bankers from Canary Wharf.

Re: PESO - Clouds and Water (reworked colour)

[Larry Colen]

Frank,

This is one that I think might actually work better in black and white.

For that matter, if it were my photo, it's one that I might want to try getting 
all medieval on the processing sliders.  Maybe us a "red filter" or a "fake IR" 
preset an crank contrast way up.  Maybe not quite to kodalith, turning the 
water to black and white might lose the powerboat, but if you could turn the  
water blue (aqua) to grey, and the sky to black and white, or maybe leave the 
water blue and turn the sky to high contrast black and white.

Re: Scanning services?

I think scan cafe are the ones that ship them off to India for scanning.

I'd say that they are the best choice for getting everything processed in bulk, 
then you can decide what to do about the ones you actually care about for

There is another aspect of this, which varies from person to person, and that 
is how worthwhile it is to spend the effort to get the last bit of performance 
out of a particular piece of gear.  For example, at some point someone with 
$1,000 lying around would do better to buy a K-5 for doing low light 
photography, than they would spending the time figuring out how to get the very 
last bit of performance out of a K100Dsuper.  

In the days of film bodies, the benefits of learning the gear generally 
outweighed the benefits of upgrading, at least far more than it does today.  
These days, there is a balance, which is a lot harder to pin down, where better 
gear may far outweigh marginally better performance out of the gear you have.

PESO - Diverse Dreams

[Paul Stenquist]

I covered the Dream Cruise for the Times yesterday. Busy with processing photos 
and writing copy but figured I  ought to share at least one pic. Huge crowd, 
pegged at 1.35 million by the law enforcement folk and many tens of thousands 
of cars, representing a broad spectrum, as evidenced by this lineup at a 
stoplight.

Re: Scanning services?

Where ever you go be sure to check into the resolution. Way back when, I

13 X 19 inch prints.

I was really tired last night and didn't do a very good job rendering

guess that was just the colour the camera saw) but in any event here's
what I think is a more agreeable version:

Mounting a laser behind K-mount lenses

[Larry Colen]

I'm looking for two things.

First an inexpensive, high powered green laser.  I bought mine a few years ago, 
and I expect that you can get a lot more power for $50 worth of laser now than 
you could back then.  Has anyone done any shopping for them lately?

Secondly, I'll want a way to mount one axially behind a k-mount lens.  M42 
would be sort of easy, just drill two holes on the same axis, one the size of 
the laser, one 42mm, and then thread the hole for m42 lenses.  I sort of did 
this with my current setup which uses an old 50mm Argus C3 lens.  This spreads 
the beam nicely, but I'd like to be able to change focal lengths to change the 
spread of the beam, and I have a much wider range of K-mount than m42 lenses.

If there is some sort of a screw mount that I can get adapters for k-mount to 
screw mount, that may work.  I could also probably get minolta to this screw 
mount, or nikon to this screw mount adapters too.

I could, in theory, also have a friend with a machine shop fab me up something 
that is the right dimensions to mount a K-mount lens.  Or, possibly, drill a 
hole, mount a quality back cap in it, and use that to mount a k-mount lens.

Anyways, I thought I'd throw the idea out to see if anyone happens to know of 
something that would do this well, for not much money.

A couple of my previous laser calligraphy experiments.  Note that my 
calligraphy skills are quite lacking.

Just the laser:

A mixture of with and without the lens:

Impressive portfolio reflecting a wide range of styles and subjects. 
Nice portrait of the 3 guys talking (#7 I think).

I cannot compare with any other service, but I'm quite satisfied with 
standard ScanCafe service.  Mostly slides and color negatives (35MM) to 
date. Just started using their service this year.   No failures or other 
problems so far.   The scans from the few pictures that I've sent them 
were good, but the results weren't noticeably (to me) better than I get 
running picture scans from my HP 8500 AIO Printer scanner through 
Photoshop.  No results yet with BW negatives.

My vote for most likely is the cats with the squirrel on the screen -
given the unusualness - though there are many that are more

pretty.

Another is the three guys - really captures the character of them.

do they let you win in more than one category?  is it blind voting?

Good luck!

Re: PESO: Ugli Fungi

[Daniel J. Matyola]

My father (Rusyn, not Russian) loved mushrooms, and was an expert at
picking wild mushrooms.  He knew the ones that were tasty and the ones
that would make one ill.  I like to eat mushrooms almost as much as he
did, but I confine my mushroom hunting to Wegman's.

Thanks for looking and for your comments, B.

Yes, the idea was to capture some of the not-so-neat looking stuff I see

haven't had time to decide if they are any good and/or try (and possibly

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean by "muddy".
I did have a stab at an alternative rendering, though, or in one of 
the cases, two different ones:

I usually use the 12" timer for this stuff, but i want to use the
