Thanks, Steve. Experiment with the 50 yesterday convinced me that I at least 
need to take the 28, maybe just the 28. I'll see when I get a better sense of 
how well all the stuff for the trip packs up. 

BWIAI, where do you stitch panoramics? Lightroom?

Quoting Mark Roberts postmas...@robertstech.com:

project, the answer for me is At least twice a day! :)



Probably not enough.

I rarely back up the entire disk but I have a semi-automated backup  
system for important folders (semi-automated in that I start it  
manually but it then checks and backs up changed files in the  
specified folders automatically to an external hard drive).  I run  
this every couple of days - more often if I'm working on a big project.


Every month I run the same backup system on a second hard drive which  
normally resides in my garden shed (on the assumption that if the  
house burns down, the shed wont - or vice versa.  If both burn down at  
the same time, I'm screwed.

Re: PESO: Vintage Garage - Rogers, Nebraska

2013-08-09 Thread Brian Walters

Quoting Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com:


Rogers is a Nebraska village on Hwy 30 (historically known as the
Lincoln Highway) and is almost exactly at the midpoint of traveling
between the larger Nebraska cities of Columbus and Fremont,
Nebraska. According to the 2010 census, there were 95 people living in
Rogers. This old timey auto repair shop (also known as a garage)
has long captured my attention while driving past, but this is the
first time I took the opportunity to stop and photograph it. As luck
would have it, after one shot my camera battery died and I didn't have
another with me, so I got only one shot. I had some settings wrong, so
it came out with the wrong color balance and exposed improperly but I
didn't get rid of it. A long time later I tripped across the image and
decided to have go at it with the Nik software filters of Color Efex
Pro 3 and then Silver Efex Pro. This was my favorite of the various
iterations that I made. I may share the others later for a comparison.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/9452427776/in/photostream/




Very interesting subject with lots of potential for further shooting.   
Those old doors look especially photogenic.


The image does have a slight backwards tilt that could be treated with  
a bit of perspective correction.

RE: Carrying a camera on a long walk

2013-08-09 Thread Gerrit Visser
I learned in Alaska to never change lenses when travelling. My K100D had
sensor crap for months. I now exclusively use 18-250 on both our cameras for
travels. The hassle of cleaning sensors in the evening is not worth it to
me.

On our recent trip to Indonesia etc we had lots of rain. Our lenses are not
WR but a bit of caution in downpours meant that we still got photos, but no
water inside. Unless it is actually pouring, I wouldn't agonize to much over
WR.

Absolutely!  I used it in a light rain a few days earlier.  But the camera

Side note: that light rain with the 16-50 taught me another reason why
really it's a Good Idea to use a lens hood.  Lens spots in those pics are
fortunately not t visible (and lend a bit of atmosphere to some).

OT: toning bw images and prints

2013-08-09 Thread Bruce Walker
Interesting article with excellent reasons to tone monochrome images
and prints. The second comment provides more background on it and a
good reason to print bw using full RGB rather than just a black
inkset (more print density).

http://jrileystewart.com/blog/2013/07/27/the-psychology-of-a-toned-monochrome-print-or-way-more-than-bw

I don't do bw often but I sometimes use some tone when I do. I'm
going to pay more attention to that now.

Re: OT: toning bw images and prints

2013-08-09 Thread Darren Addy
Thanks for the link, Bruce! The aesthetics side of it is interesting.
I also find it interesting that in the early days of photography the
color/tone was largely determined by the process. Cyanotypes were
blue, but then they could be toned (although often with adverse
affects on their archival qualities). Other processes were various
shades of brown. There were always some who looked for ways to change
the tone after the print was made with various methods from chemicals
to teas. Looking through an old Kodak formulas guide, I was surprised
to learn of Kodak T-9, a Uranium Toner.
http://www.jackspcs.com/toner.htm
I would imagine that this was one justification for Kodak operating a
nuclear reactor in Rochester (unknown to the general population) for
many decades.
http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20120511/NEWS01/305120021/Kodak-Park-nuclear-reactor

Color printing of when inkjet printing digital BW negatives on
transparency material (for contact printing) - although for different
reasons. Rather than making the negative with black/grey one prints it
as orange, since the orange does a better job of blocking UV rays than
even black/grey does. I've seen CMKY values of 0,71,71,0 suggested
(for example). It varies a bit depending on your printer and inks
used.

 I don't do bw often but I sometimes use some tone when I do. I'm
 going to pay more attention to that now.

Re: Carrying a camera on a long walk

2013-08-09 Thread kwaller

I wouldn't agonize to much over WR.


Same here. I've shot almost exclusively Pentax/Takumar lenses for over 45 
years and have never had an issue with any of those non-WR lenses. I've shot 
in pouring rain, sleet  snow storms using only what ever shielding I had at 
the time (towel or plastic bag) and the lenses were non the worse for the 
experience. WR is a great advertising point, especially if you don't take 
care of your equipment.


So how many have had a lens issue/failure due to precipitation?

On our recent trip to Indonesia etc we had lots of rain. Our lenses are

WR but a bit of caution in downpours meant that we still got photos, but 
no

Absolutely!  I used it in a light rain a few days earlier.  But the camera

Side note: that light rain with the 16-50 taught me another reason why

fortunately not t visible (and lend a bit of atmosphere to some).

Same here.  I plug into a 3TB harddrive when I sit down at the office, and 
disconnect it when I leave.  That way my backup is offsite.

For good measure, I also back up to an offsite location via a service called 
CrashPlan.  129/year gives me unlimited backup storage for up to 10 machines. 
 It has saved my bacon on more than one occasion.

Every month I also rotate off my last month's images to two different external 
drives.  So at any given time I will have copies of month-or-more older photos 
on:
 1. Internal harddrive
 2. External Time Machine drive
 3. Portable image archive harddrive (contents compared between source and 
destination post-copy)
 4. Desktop-sized image archive harddrive (contents compared between source 
and destination post-copy)
 5. CrashPlan's cloud.

That's pretty belt-and-suspenders but it works for me.  And most of it is 
automated, so it just happens.

Very nice Paul.
It does look like a hibiscus.
I didn't know they grew wild in Ohio.
Regards,  Bob S.

Interesting comment Jack.
To me centered is sort of a default composition.

This is an example of one of those compositions wherein the principal 
element is usually more comfortable if centered.

To me, the image is a bit soft.

Re: PESO: One more sign

Interesting, but I don't believe it. The collection is from diverse 
localities  habitats so they must have a huge travelling budget. I see some 
Southern African species there. The specimens are all pristine (new), not 
battered  worn as older ones are. I collected for several years when I was 
studying  never found expired butterflies in this condition. I have, 
however, seen collectors taking specimens from the radiators of cars at 
filling stations on highways.
