Re: Grantley

2012-12-23 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
What I meant to say, before some of what I typed got deleted somehow,
was that this was the third weekend that our Rotary Club was
collecting money at a local shopping center to aid the local homeless
program and the food bank.  When I showed up to do my shift it turned
out that I was replacing my old friend Grantley, whom I hadn't seen
for a while, so I took a photo to document our little reunion.

Re: PESO - Redwood Quiet

Marnie, this is really quiet scene... I only would like to point out the 
greens... They look a bit odd to me, slightly plastic. Either my monitor 
is in need of re-calibration (or in fact replacement, being like 7 or so 
years old now) or I am just not used to the redwood greens... We visited 
Yosemite, but it was more than 10 years ago and I couldn't possibly 
remember the colors... As well the light was obviously different than 
the one in your photograph...

Friend and I were sort  of lost in Berkeley hills and came across a park
with a grassy area and picnic  tables. There was a Redwood grove up on the
edge of the hill, so I almost called  this Unexpected Redwoods.

One of the thing I like about Redwoods, it is  usually very quiet standing

that's a clever, engaging shot - i like the imperfect symmetry, but
especially placing blue clouds in the reflection, with almost fully
clouded behind; the hint of blue in the corner is helpful too

i have to say i find the image a bit menacing, as if a huge explosion

Tilting. Normally it goes from straight up to 90 degrees. If you press
the grey side-button it will tilt down  a few degrees. This allows it

Mine does that. I was wondering for a minute if the button was also

My K-5 IIs doesn't do that.
I did enable "change orientation" in the menu, which I believe makes

that way, and that works. But I cannot force the camera to follow
its current orientation in the View mode.

Is it possible? What menu item am I missing for this?
I suspect the menues of all K-5* are rather similar, - so I hope to hear

are only two I haven't shared, and they're nothing  much).

But since I've talked about making a calendar for friends,  thought I'd
share the finished product. I used Word. If nothing else, maybe  encourage you
to do a calendar for friends, if you never have.

Echoing  someone else recently, thanks to all my online PDML  editors!

I quite like the notion of one guy looking down and another wearing sun

they're discussing something from their upper body language, while I 
cannot be totally certain because I don't see their eyes.

Re: PESO - Shop 'Til You Drop - the culprits (caution: messenger content)

2012-12-23 Thread knarftheria...@gmail.com
Illegal in the sense that racing on city streets is against the law. This is 
done in live traffic, not a closed course. 

What they're doing is Street Racing, which carries a hefty fine and immediate 
impoundment of the vehicle (at least for cars - don't know if they can do for 
bikes).

If a cyclist is stopped for a traffic infraction (as one was during this race - 
twice!) one ~never~ admits they are racing. 

Ever.

That's one of the reasons that these things are not advertised with (for 
instance) posters. Don't want to be tipping anyone off to give the authorities 
the chance to shut us down.

Thanks for the kind words, Bruce, and thanks to all those who looked and 
commented.

Tilting. Normally it goes from straight up to 90 degrees. If you press
the grey side-button it will tilt down  a few degrees. This allows it
to hit the center of an umbrella when mounted on an umbrella holder.

Nope, Pentax's view is that photographers shoot in manual light or use
studio flash.  My AF-540 won't freaking stay in manual mode for any
predictable amount of time. And yes I've set all the configuration
bits on it so it doesn't turn off.

It has a new stunt.  You know how the vertical angle of the head can
be set, and you press the button on the side to change the angle?
It no longer permanently clicks in.  It has some sort of a detent, but
you don't have to bother pressing the grey button on the side of the
head to readjust it.

As soon as I can afford it, I'm buying a Metz.



I've had the same two issues:
1. AF-540 would not stay in the manual mode after being powered off.
IIRC, in order to use it in the manual mode, one needs to switch the
camera to the "M" mode, or something like that...

2. The one I had also came with the defective tilt control:
Sometimes It was hard to get it out of thelooking forward position, -
because the button on the side was stuck and not releasing the lock.
I returned it within 30 days and got the Metz.
In the past year, 40-50% of time, I 've been shotting with that Metz in
"A" mode (the reast being P-TTL), especially when at home and shooting
with the light bouncing of the ceiling or the back wall.
It does the work reasonably well.
My biggest compaint about the Metz is the bad ergonomics of controls:
to switch between modes, or two enable/disable the secondary small
flash, one has to go to the menu and click a few times.
I wish there were buttons/switches for that as it is done in P-AF-540.

Tangent??  It would only be a tangent if DXOMark and Pirates of Penzance

Huge leap?  "Now for something completely different"?



Or maybe Psychotic Psegue?

They intersected here. After writing that 'I never do something', I
wrote, "well hardly ever", which is akin to lines from HMS Pinafore,
which is another G&S opera of course. A fairly direct route. :)

2012-12-23 Thread John Sessoms

My plans for Saturday got disrupted, so I drove up there today.

Beautiful work.

I can't write well enough to do it justice, so I'll just say if you ever 
get the chance to visit the museum, it's worth doing.


Not only the famous photos, but showing how he set them up; plus color 
photography I don't think many people know about.


He also did audio recordings & 16mm cine.

I only saw one inkjet print in the whole exhibit. Everything else was 
"Gelatin Silver Bromide" & "Color Coupler Photograph" - which looked to 
me like color reversal prints direct from the transparencies. He made 
all his shots with two cameras & it seems like he was using Ektachrome64 
daylight in one of them a lot of the time.


His equipment and darkroom have been donated to the museum, and there 
are boxes of the film he used.

GESO - Calendar Project

2012-12-23 Thread Eactivist


This is not really a GESO, but didn't  know what else to call it.

Anyway, these are not thumbnails, just small  pics. Not doing it as a true 
GESO since most of you have already seen most of  the photos (think there 
are only two I haven't shared, and they're nothing  much). 

But since I've talked about making a calendar for friends,  thought I'd 
share the finished product. I used Word. If nothing else, maybe  encourage you 
to do a calendar for friends, if you never have.

Echoing  someone else recently, thanks to all my online PDML  editors!

Doug. One of rth teachers i work with doing my lunch monitoring at a
local PS plays guitar, and i told him my broken guitar story and he
told me to get back at it, just go for it. I mentioned to him i have
chubby little fingers which made it hard for me to really get good,

True.??

I've had the same two issues:
1. AF-540 would not stay in the manual mode after being powered off.
IIRC, in order to use it in the manual mode, one needs to switch the
camera to the "M" mode, or something like that...

2. The one I had also came with the defective tilt control:
Sometimes It was hard to get it out of thelooking forward position, -
because the button on the side was stuck and not releasing the lock.
I returned it within 30 days and got the Metz.
In the past year, 40-50% of time, I 've been shotting with that Metz in 
"A" mode (the reast being P-TTL), especially when at home and shooting
with the light bouncing of the ceiling or the back wall.
It does the work reasonably well.
My biggest compaint about the Metz is the bad ergonomics of controls:
to switch between modes, or two enable/disable the secondary small
flash, one has to go to the menu and click a few times.
I wish there were buttons/switches for that as it is done in P-AF-540.

They intersected here. After writing that 'I never do something', I
wrote, "well hardly ever", which is akin to lines from HMS Pinafore,
which is another G&S opera of course. A fairly direct route. :)

Tangent??  It would only be a tangent if DXOMark and Pirates of Penzance 
intersected somewhere in Euclidean space.

Huge leap?  "Now for something completely different"?

Or maybe Psychotic Psegue?

Given the fact that I (or you) don't have the time, equipment, nor are
we experts in optical testing methodology... I generally believe what
they say, yet I also realize there's more to it than numbers. :)

I never grain-peeped when shooting film and I never pixel-peep now.

(well, hardly ever (damn, big D, and all that rot)}. :)  (mixing operas I know)

on a tangent...

Has anyone seen the Pirates of Penzance with Kevin Kline, Linda
Ronstadt, Rex Smith, and Angela Lansbury?

An early 80's take, but true to form, extremely funny, and very well done.

If your friends don't like opera, lend them this DVD... we did (they
didn't get it).

If you like opera and especially Gilbert & Sullivan, you'll watch it
numerous times.

Re: OT - Augie Wren's Christmas Story

Yes, thanks Frank. I incorrectly attributed the posting to Bill. But it was 
both nice to see the Augie post and to hear Bill wish that Shel would come 
back.

RE: PESO: Look!

Thanks.

Perhaps Q's weakest point, I think. I am a little bit on thin ice here, but it 
seems Q has a very strong anti-aliasing filter. Images from it require a lot of 
sharpening.

Composition and subject excellent.  BW rendering to my eye looks a tad muddy, 
but YMMV.  Shot made me giggle.  Cheers, Christine
