PESO contemplating the edge

[Larry Colen]

I was playing around taking macros of lichen growing on a scrap of wood from my 
yard, and realized that there was a bonus subject to photograph as well. So, 
for as much the amusement value as photographic, I submit "Contemplating the 
edge":

Looks familiar. :-) Now, Godfrey, that is the  best shot of I've seen from 
you since I rejoined the list (including the Egret,  well it's nice but this 
is more your style). A keeper. Lovely placement of  hills, 
perspective-wise, front all the way to the back, good tones, and nice  blur on 
fence. 

Really, really great.

What Bob said. It *does* look like bread.

I'd have brushed in some local contrast and sharpening on the ant to
make him stand out a little more.

Heh. I like this one  better.

Hmm,  appears to be the same number, but when I plugged the one in below, 
it was a  wider shot, this one is closer up. (The second one.)

That is actually a  great shot, Larry. Well, the edge is all in one's 
perspective, isn't  it?

Re: COMMENTS: Pillion passenger - "Home, James!"

[Alan Cole]

Firstly, many thanks for the encouraging comments. I will follow the posts
with interest & look forward to the annual book.

I am a retired Analytical Chemist living in Phalaborwa, a small Lowveld town
in the extreme NE of SA supported by copper & phosphate mines. The climate
is hot with about 530mm rain per year. I love being in the bush & we are
blessed with having the Kruger Park right on our doorstep. In Kruger, I find
many tourists are more interested in flaunting their expensive equipment
than actually taking photos.

My photography has been quite amateurish & has progressed from a Brownie box
& one of those fold up things (medium format!) in my youth to an S1a at
university & later to K-mount. I did my own processing in the B/W days but
stopped when I changed to colour (prints & slides). Only the ME Super still
works & I have been shooting a couple of rolls a year.

In 2011 I was given a C*non 500N with short & long Sigma zooms & decided a
C*non digital would be the answer so I bought a 1000D at a bargain price on
a sale. Sadly, the old Sigma lenses are not fully compatible & can only work
in AV or M modes at max aperture. Plan B was a S/H K110D body on which I
could use the the FA 28-80 & 100-300 from the dud Z-70. So far I am quite
happy with this combination & can also use all the other lenses in M mode.

I feel a need to expand my photography beyond the stereotyped family &
holiday stuff & hope the list will help me to do that. I have never tried
street or  studio photography. Game photography can be exciting but it takes
luck & patience to get unusual shots which tell a story. I still find myself
"trapped" in film mode & haven't got used to the idea of taking a series of
shots yet! And then - post processing - still a lot to learn there.

Best regards

Alan

Re: PESO contemplating the edge

[Ann Sanfedele]

I don't know what the number is, but I favor the one where the ant is 
climbing up the side... I couldnt get this link that Marnie picked to 
load so don't know if it's the same..


As always, when you post something I look at the others in the group..
I didn't see the ant at first on the one where he approaches the edge at
first...

Just FYI , since you've been doing a lot of fungi/mushroom shots,
this is a  fungus, not lichen.  I'm thinking "false Turkey tail"

Nice work on that meta sculpture stuff a few thumbnails over.. was that 
a paying gig?

Re: PESO contemplating the edge

Very nice image.  I like the colors and the focus very much, and of
course it is an interesting catch.

A logistics problem

[Paul Stenquist]

I have to cover the reveal of the seventh generation Corvette tomorrow night 
for the NY Times. The paper wants to go live with a photo and my article (which 
has been largely prewritten without actually seeing the car) within about a 
minute of the embargo being lifted. Since the embargo will be lifted only when 
the cover is pulled off the car, I'll have about 45 seconds to shoot a photo, 
upload it to my laptop and send it to the mother ship. I've practiced a bit 
today with my computer propped up on my knees and my camera hanging from a 
neckstrap. Using the USB cord, which I can preinstall on the computer, is 
faster than taking the card out of the camera. I was going to shoot jpeg, but I 
experimented with both jpeg and RAW, because I anticipate some awful highlights 
on the stage. It takes me about ten seconds longer to do a quick RAW 
conversion, crushing the highlights just a bit and pulling up shadows slightly. 
I think I'm going to do it. Even if I shoot jpeg, I'll probably want to tweak 
it, and I'm much more accustomed to working with RAW. 

BTW, after I upload the photo, I'll have to file amended copy, but that's a 
problem for another venue. 

General Motors has done a good job of keeping the lid on the new Corvette. 
There are only renderings on the web and spy photos of test-track cars draped 
in camouflage. And the automaker refuses to release any photos until after the 
reveal. The press conference where that will happen is taking place in an 
industrial building far from downtown Detroit. It's actually in a pretty scary 
neighborhood, well off the beaten path. I assume that's part of the secrecy 
plan. The surrounding blocks will be undoubtedly be crawling with cops and 
private security. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some helicopters 
overhead as well.

Should be fun. If I get it right.

2012 #04 - From World Press Photo 2012 Exhibition

[Boris Liberman]

Hi!

We paid a visit to one of the local museums where World Press Photo 2012 
was on display...


http://pentax-ways.blogspot.com/2013/01/2013-04-from-world-press-photo-2012.html

Galia suggested to turn this picture to B&W... And we talked a bit of 
the pictures that we saw... Almost no reason was found to smile or be 
happy in any way...


Your honest and brutal comments will as usual be appreciated.

Re: A logistics problem

[Stan Halpin]

That does sound fun! I read this morning that there will be 6000 journalists 
covering the show this year, most will probably be there with you at the 
Corvette unveiling.

Can you save a few seconds by preloading your text on your phone, start sending 
that while you work with the image to be sent from the laptop?

Re: A logistics problem

[Paul Stenquist]

There won't be 6000 journalists at the Corvette reveal. It's by invitation only 
and probably limited to a few hundred. I have copy modifications ready and on 
the computer. I'm guessing on a few things but have done some detective work 
and have a pretty good idea of what I'll need to add to my existing doc. So it 
shouldn't take long to get that ready after I upload the photo.

There are only renderings on the web and spy photos of test-track cars
draped in camouflage. And the automaker refuses to release any photos until
after the reveal. The press conference where that will happen is taking
place in an industrial building far from downtown Detroit. It's actually in

Re: A logistics problem

[Mark Roberts]

Sounds very cool! Personally, I love those kind of situations where
you have to think on your feet, act fast and get it right - this
probably explains why I was a motorcycle racer ;-)

Shooting Raw is definitely the way to go for this: With today's
software a conversion of two or three shots will take just a minute or
two and you'll not only get a better jpeg immediately, you'll have a
better starting point for future, higher-quality prints.

Looking forward to seeing the results.

not sure what the term arists means.

What can I say I am surfing the net and doing some promoting here and

Good point. It really stood out for me, but I knew what I was looking for.  
Bruce made some suggestions on bringing it out, which I'll try.  It's always a 
challenge picking which photo to show.  Often times my choice is based as much 
on which photo lends itself to a catchier title.

Good point.  Sometime in my yoot, I was told that they were shelf lichen, and 
doing a google photo search on shelf lichen brings up a lot of pictures of very 
similar things. But, a bit of research shows that they are really shelf fungus, 
or polypores:

Thanks.  Yesterday, someone commented in another thread that klein bottles are 
very difficult to photograph. I suspect that they were thinking of a klein 
bottle being a four dimensional rather than a three dimensional object, more 
like a tesseract.  I felt compelled to take half an hour and prove him wrong. 
It's impressive how easy it is to get decent semi macro shots of something like 
that when you use a studio flash with a huge softbox and make sure that the 
nearest wall is a ways back from the light.

 My friend Sheba does some amazing artwork, and is actually one of the people 
pushing the state of the art in 3-d printing.
http://bathsheba.com

I have several of her sculptures, perhaps my favorite is the klein bottle, 
bottle opener.  

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8370075454/

This shot was fun, because while the softbox was great for photographing the 
sculpture, it was a bit tough for photographing the bottle.  I also would have 
preferred some sort of rim lighting to highlight the edge of the bottle.  So, 
keeping in the spirit if quick and dirty, I had Zab cover the worst of the 
reflections with her left hand, and rotated the bottle slightly so that the 
back label defined the edge.  I'm actually quite pleased with that shot, both 
from it turning out a lot better than I was expecting, and the fact that I did 
it with only one light.

If I was going to be brutal I would say that because of the angle and
the way the man is standing, I don't know if he is looking t a photo on
the wall to his front and left, or whether he is just in deep thought
staring at the floor apparently in front of him. That said, that could
be the attraction.

If I wasn't going to be brutal I would say good pic!

I would snap with the iphone first, send, then while that's pushing, use
the DSLR to get proper photos. They can then be uploaded in the

Heh, Thank you, Chris for putting me in that company.
I think McCurry's photo is much better and cleaner.

In mine, unfortunately, the clatter by the wall is a distraction.

Thanks. 
It would require some careful photoshop cleaning to remove that

PESO: Foggy Coots

Made the 20+ mile to Gray Lodge again a couple days ago and found it foggy. 
After waiting for an hour or so I decided to use one of their porta-potties and 
head for home.
Upon returning to my car, I took a look around and discovered a peaceful scene 
I thought I'd try.
 
Those little black roundish things in the water are Coots or Mud Hens, if you

It works well in black and white.  The lack of detail makes it almost all about 
composition.  
I think that it might be tilted slightly to the left.

By the title, I thought you might have gotten together with some other PDMLers. 
 The title describes half of us on this list.

Sunny January

[Paul Stenquist]

Temps reached 61 degrees F under sunny skies in, Michigan today, so I shot a 
few pics on the street. Lots of people out, just sucking up the sun. Most are 
at ISO 800. The last shot is an iPhone pic. (And it may well be the best of the 
bunch.)

Re: A logistics problem

I don't suppose you could use an eyefi card to upload jpegs directly to the 
office while you are shooting, then ten minutes later upload cleanly processed 
from raw versions to replace them with?

It didn't even occur to me that he was doing anything but thinking about a 
photograph that he had just looked at.  

The problem with the photo is that it isn't immediately obvious that the guy is 
the subject.  It's a bit late to go back and reshoot it with the 50/1.2, wide 
open on him, for very shallow depth of field, and maybe a little bit of fill so 
he isn't in the dark while the photos are well lit, preferably with a more 
disturbing, thought provoking photo in the background.  :-)

On one hand, the ambivalence of the subject does help tell a story.  I kind of 
like photos where at first you think it's a photograph of one thing (the photos 
on display), and then you realize that it's about something else (someone 
thinking about the photos).  On the other hand, if it were my photo,  I'd 
probably go in with the adjustment brush and make him a little brighter.  I 
might also use the brush on the near wall of photos, (which seem like they 
might be what the camera focused on) and blur them out a bit, to fake a 
narrower depth of field.

> 
> If I wasn't going to be brutal I would say good pic!

Likewise, it is a very good picture as it is, but you wanted me to be brutal, 
and like a good sadist, I aim to please.

Re: PESO: Foggy Coots

[Jack Davis]

Thanks for commenting, Larry. 
Your sense of the need for a tilting to the left may be an influence of the 
slope of the tulies in the foreground.(?)
Feels comfortable to me.

It works well in black and white.  The lack of detail makes it almost all about 
composition.  
I think that it might be tilted slightly to the left.

By the title, I thought you might have gotten together with some other PDMLers. 
 The title describes half of us on this list.

Nope, the tulies and the fence posts in the midground an back ground about 1/3 
of the way up the photo.  When I first looked at it, I looked at the tulies in 
the foreground to check, but couldn't tell vertical from them,  I then looked 
more closely at other object that I'd expect to be vertical, and they all seem 
to tilt very slightly to the left.  

But, it's your photo, so what feels comfortable to you is all that matters.

Didn't buy a camera today

[Mark Roberts]

I've had a few clients sending me checks lately (yay!) and had been
toying with the idea of getting a new camera. I even considered one of
the $319.00 K-01 close-outs from Amazon - it could serve as a "light
meter" for my meterless Pentax 67 that would double as a camera if
necessary. But I don't shoot with the 67 often enough to justify that
and wouldn't use it on its own much. I may acquire a compact camera to
serve that purpose later, though. (Anyone know if there are any good
compacts that go below ISO 100?)

So anyway, I bought an electric guitar instead.

Congratulations.

I bet you could get some great deals on motorcycles this time of year too, but 
I don't think you should be allowed to invest in any time sinks until after the 
annual ships.

Also, I can *hide* a guitar for a while. And more convincingly lie
about how much it cost when it gets found out. ;-)

But, yes, I'd love to have a second bike. The big Triumph fabulous on
the open road but too powerful to be fun in city traffic. A big
thumper (SRX600) or medium-size twin would be just the ticket.

Re: PESO: Foggy Coots

Hmm..I see no "fence posts." I do see some small tule clumps a ways into the 
scene, but they appear as level as I can discern. 
I could not allow a tilt and still be comfortable with the image.

I often miss my old R80RT airhead for it's being a relatively comfortable bike, 
able to carry a bunch of stuff. But for sheer fun to ride, nothing I've ever 
ridden has beat the ninja 250 I used to own.  It was light, nimble, easy to 
park, and on public roads I could ride it at a lot closer to 10/10ths, because 
it took all of it's motor to get up to fun speeds, and I was still going less 
than twice the speed limit.

I've ridden a couple of nice 600 or 700 cc bikes (hurricane, ducatti ...) and I 
was pretty much twice the speed limit before they were even breathing hard.

I think that nearly 30 years later, I'd have a lot more appreciation for my 
first bike, a honda 350/4, though if I were shopping for one now, I'd probably 
go for the 400/4 super sport.

When I was in Singapore, I fell in love with the Aprillia 250.  But those are 
damn near impossible to import, at least for riding on the street.

Subject: Didn't buy a camera today

I've had a few clients sending me checks lately (yay!) and had been
toying with the idea of getting a new camera. I even considered one of
the $319.00 K-01 close-outs from Amazon - it could serve as a "light
meter" for my meterless Pentax 67 that would double as a camera if
necessary. But I don't shoot with the 67 often enough to justify that
and wouldn't use it on its own much. I may acquire a compact camera to
serve that purpose later, though. (Anyone know if there are any good
compacts that go below ISO 100?)

So anyway, I bought an electric guitar instead.

Enjoy your guitar! An electric guitar would be utterly useless for me,
I'm all thumbs on stringed instruments. A compact electric piano or
synth .. yeah. :-)

IMO, a good hand-held light meter does a much better job of being a
light meter than any compact camera does. I recommend the Sekonic
L-358 ... I've got the L-328 which has served me very well for more
than a dozen years, but I'm really thinking of moving up to the 358
model's larger integrating hemisphere, higher sensitivity, etc etc
soon.

A compact camera that has ISO <100 and a decent sized (APS-C) sensor
... Hmm. Well, no, I don't know of one. However, fitted with a filter
adapter, I can get down to ISO 1.5 using the Leica X2 and a B+W type
106 ND filter (six stops). Does a lovely job, and is a great camera
with clean results up to ISO 6400, even 128000 in a pinch too.
Excellent lens and controls.

I think I'm going to do it. Even if I shoot jpeg, I'll probably want to tweak

BTW, after I upload the photo, I'll have to file amended copy, but that's a

General Motors has done a good job of keeping the lid on the new Corvette. 
There are only renderings on the web and spy photos of test-track cars draped 
in camouflage. And the automaker refuses to release any photos until after the 
reveal. The press conference where that will happen is taking place in an 
industrial building far from downtown Detroit. It's actually in a pretty scary 
neighborhood, well off the beaten path. I assume that's part of the secrecy 
plan. The surrounding blocks will be undoubtedly be crawling with cops and 
private security. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some helicopters 
overhead as well.

Should be fun. If I get it right.

Well, yeah. But it can't double as a camera when need be. :-)

And for my purposes, a digital camera works just as well as a light
meter. For the nature photography stuff I do the histogram and
(especially) highlight and shadow "blinkies" let me get my exposures
perfect in situations where an incident light meter would be
impossible to use and readings with a spotmeter would take too much
time and fuss. I've used my digital SLRs in the past this way and I
get perfect exposures for slide film 10 out of 10 times (which is
actually one too many because PrintFile negative pages for 6x7 hold
only nine slides and I'd like to be able to toss one out).

In a studio or other reasonably controlled situation a genuine light
meter is the way to go. When standing in the middle of a stream on the
side of a mountain and shooting a waterfall, I choose a digital
snapshot and histogram every time (it even gives be a back up photo if
the lab screws up).

Thanks.  Yesterday, someone commented in another thread that klein bottles are 
very difficult to photograph. I suspect that they were thinking of a klein 
bottle being a four dimensional rather than a three dimensional object, more 
like a tesseract.  I felt compelled to take half an hour and prove him wrong. 
It's impressive how easy it is to get decent semi macro shots of something like 
that when you use a studio flash with a huge softbox and make sure that the 
nearest wall is a ways back from the light.

  My friend Sheba does some amazing artwork, and is actually one of the people 
pushing the state of the art in 3-d printing.

I have several of her sculptures, perhaps my favorite is the klein bottle, 
bottle opener.

Heh!  I could easily see someone describing Sheba's work as meta-sculptures, 
especially since she does all the "work" in a 3d computer program.  
Technically, I guess those files would be meta scupltures.

Thanks.  That ties in with a previous thread, being the grey card that I marked 
with inch and mm scales.

Re: A logistics problem

[Boris Liberman]

If Jeremy Clarxon of Top Gear pops up, pass him regards ;-).

On a serious note though, I'd team up with Larry here - eyefi card 
should probably make your life way simpler. Also, you could pre-set your 
camera with white balance and other stuff and shoot RAW+JPG, then it may 
save you time for RAW processing when you're on location.

Thanks, Cotty. I can probably argue and draw lines on the shot proving 
mathematically that the angle at which his head is inclined is such that 
he cannot possibly see the shoes unless it is the mirror that is hanging 
on the wall in front of him. That that would be very smart ass and 
ungrateful...

I can assure you that it is indeed the case.


The problem with the photo is that it isn't immediately obvious that
the guy is the subject.  It's a bit late to go back and reshoot it
with the 50/1.2, wide open on him, for very shallow depth of field,
and maybe a little bit of fill so he isn't in the dark while the
photos are well lit, preferably with a more disturbing, thought
provoking photo in the background.  :-)


Well, he's not the subject indeed. It is the cross product of the 
expressions of the shot on the wall on the right and him... Or at least 
this was my intention...



On one hand, the ambivalence of the subject does help tell a story.
I kind of like photos where at first you think it's a photograph of
one thing (the photos on display), and then you realize that it's
about something else (someone thinking about the photos).  On the
other hand, if it were my photo,  I'd probably go in with the
adjustment brush and make him a little brighter.  I might also use
the brush on the near wall of photos, (which seem like they might be
what the camera focused on) and blur them out a bit, to fake a
narrower depth of field.


Brushes, brushes... Be simple, Larry and people will look up to you :-). 
I already applied some amount of brightening by means of gradient filter 
of LR... Mighty good things these filters are, if you have a photo that 
has distinct areas of different brightness...




If I wasn't going to be brutal I would say good pic!


Likewise, it is a very good picture as it is, but you wanted me to be
brutal, and like a good sadist, I aim to please.


I did not know you were a sadist, let alone a good one. I would suggest 
you're the other way around but it is you who insist on using brushes on 
your own photographs... :-)


To alleviate such allusions in the future I have devised a notion of 
"B&H comment". I hope that similarity with the trade mark of a well 
known retailer will take your mind off unwieldy things...
