RE: how dark was it really? calculating with ISO, shutter speed, and aperture
From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Charles Robinson I was in a park in Nevada (Valley of Fire), the sun was setting, it was getting difficult to see. I took some photos which came out OK - and due to the ability to tweak white balance, exposure, etc, it looks like the photos were taken at a regular time of day. But I was there, and I KNOW it was dark dark dark. Is there some sort of exposure equivalence table which can tell me how dark it really was when I had to expose a frame at ISO 1250, 1/13th of a second, at f/4.0? (link below if you care) http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2012/vegas/content/IMGP5607_lar ge.html You can find the exposure value (EV) for the particular iso, shutter speed and aperture that you used, but that only tells you how dark the meter thought it was. Without a reference value you're going to have to rely on your memory, and adjust the output by eye. Knowing the EV of the exposure is not going to help. It seems to me that your problem is the way you metered the scene. If you use a reflective light reading then the meter will assume that you're pointing it at a mid-grey scene and expose accordingly. If you then process it on auto settings you'll get a picture that's mid-grey in tone. To bring it back to what you know it to be, you either have to adjust it by eye, for example by deciding that it was 3 stops darker than the meter indicated, or you can include a reference object in one of the exposures, such as a calibrated grey card or colour target; you can then process that frame so that the target comes out with its calibrated values - all the other values fall into place around it; after that you should be able to synchronise the settings across all the frames that you shot without the target, but in the same light. You could instead use an incident meter, which will give you a reading for the light that's falling onto the meter's sensor through a mid-tone dome. If you then process it on auto settings you should get a picture that shows the conditions as you saw them, more or less. When I say 'auto settings' I'm thinking of a fixed reference post-process - something like Kodachrome, where you sent it away to be processed and, unless you'd given special instructions to the contrary, they put everything through the same process at the same time - in other words you had a reference standard at the processing time. Now that KR is dead and we are all using a series of Giant Electronic Brains to take bake our chefs d'oeuvre, the notion of 'auto settings' has become more difficult, and I don't have such a process myself for Lightroom, although I could probably come up with something if I sat down and thought about it for long enough. As far as I understand it, pressing Auto in LR makes it come up with an average mid-tone across the frame. This is very useful for rescuing something that's gone horribly wrong, or which was in any case a mid-tone exposure, but in a situation like yours it would just turn night into day. So unless someone here replies with a KR-like reference process, you're left with either including a reference target in one frame, or/and adjusting by eye. Hope that helps. But it probably doesn't.

RE: Two low light PESOs
Hi Boris, the second one is the stronger of the 2. Both nicely composed and exposed, but the second has a less cliched subject matter. The second one feels slightly hemmed in by the frame, as if you've struggled a bit to squeeze it in. I like the idea of the triangular composition, but it feels a bit strained. Perhaps if you'd done without the lounger (?) on the right, and given the gazebo a bit more breathing space it could have conveyed what I think you were after (the light, the moon, the clouds etc.) slightly better. Still a jolly good shot though.

Re: Any thoughts on what might cause this?

Re: FS: Two Sigma 24mm f/2.8 Super-Wide II lenses (one AF, one MF)
I was once given the AF version of this lens to shoot for few days. It was extremely good. The only problem was rather weak flare resistance. It was easily as sharp as k24/2.8 that I had at the time. Color rendition was slightly different but not bad at all. Later I was interested and discovered that Leica was involved in design of this lens.

A couple of examples I have handy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/miserere/2475111567/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/miserere/2455156403/in/photostream I sought the AF version for a long time but the few times I saw it for sale it went for far more than I would pay for it (on eBay). I would've gladly paid $135! But alas, Joe, you are a few years too late :-) For the book of anecdotes, I remember not being able to use the focus confirmation on my K10D with this lens when manual focusing because it would consistently miss focus (either back or front, I can't remember which, but always the same). Good luck with your sale!

The AF lens seems to need a -1.0 EF adjustment on most Pentax digital bodies; the MF lens needs -1.3 EF or so (this seems to be typical of Sigma lenses from the film era on current Pentax bodies?) These are nice compact prime lenses and the AF version is not something Pentax has ever had in its own lineup (only the very large and expensive 24mm f/2.0). See a decent selection of comments and reviews on these two lenses here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/sigma-24mm-f2-8-af-super-wide-ii.html http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/sigma-24mm-f2-8-super-wide-ii.html Both are multicoated, have 52mm filter threads and I believe I have two copies of the clip-on Sigma perfect hoods that go with them. The AF lens focuses in the correct Pentax direction; the MF lens is opposite. F-stop ring is the correct Pentax direction on both lenses. They both focus down to 0/6 ft./0.18 m. Asking $135 for the AF lens, $85 for the MF.

Without a reference value you're going to have to rely on your memory, and adjust the output by eye. Knowing the EV of the exposure is not going to help. It seems to me that your problem is the way you metered the scene. Actually, it's not a problem - I have no beef with bumping the settings in the camera to make the image look good. As a matter of fact, if I wanted to represent the scene the way I saw it it would look awful.

Once superseded by another model, the 645D will stop taking pictures on any ISO other than 140, force JPG format, and introduce a lag of 30 seconds before writing exposures to card. During that lag, you will see a message on the chimp screen explaining what you have to do to re-enable the camera's functionality. For unknown reasons, this message will only appear in the language used by the Inuits of North-East Greenland, who refuse to translate because they find the text offensive. The next model will be a lot better. Among its most important achievents will be abandoning the hopelessly inaccurate way of relaying aperture information between camera and optics using a simple lever. According to Pentax officials, that's on par with steam engines for obsolence, and they are deeply ashamed about it still being there, despite their best efforts to move forward.

With the Holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my friends on the list about drinking and driving. As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a night out with friends. Well, two days ago I was at a car company Christmas party and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Most of the bottle, I believe. Feeling jolly, I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a cab home. Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident.

Re: PESO - Redwood Cliche
Wow. Wasn't expecting the response. Thanks, Ann, Jack, frank, Christine, Cotty, Dan, Gerrit, Paul, Bob, Peter, Paul, Bruce, and et. all for looking and commenting. It's kind of ironic. I am putting together a hand-done calendar for friends (a couple) and I've been going through photos for varied shots of Northern California. (I gave them one two years ago which they loved.) I've mainly been using 2011-2012 shots, but didn't have enough and started looking at 2010 shots. These upward looking shots in my Praire Creek Folder, I had skimmed by previously, knowing it was a cliched shot. I was looking more at the bases of trees and other shots the first time around. But this time, going through a second time, with fresh eyes, I thought, you know that's not so bad. Just goes to prove maybe it's worth taking a second look later sometimes. Maybe years later. ;-) BTW, because of this group, the peppers and the blue car have made the cut for the calendar. Heh. Thanks, guys and gals. Marnie :-) I love shooting Redwoods, but as lots of you have stated it is hard to do. Yes. I have vertical shots too, but I like the horizontal ones because it's a littlebit anti-cliche cliche. Heh.

I like the high contrast and, also, feel more comfortable with it as a vertical. Jack Redwoods are so tough. I've seldom been happy with any I took of them.

Re: PESO - Redwood Sculpture
Thanks, frank. That is exactly what I was wondering, if it is too dark. It was in shade, of course, and I could probably hi-low contrast it, but probably not worth it.

Re: PAW154 - Red
That is really impressive. Beautiful shot. The dry leaf makes it, of course. HTH, Marnie aka Doe In a message dated 12/16/2012 1:49:19 P.M.

Re: PESO -- Small Falls`
To me, Peter, this shot is missing a center of interest -- a place for my eye to go to. Looks like the area has lots of potential, though.
