Re: OT: The Leica T succeeds in pissing me off.
Color me old-fashioned, but I think people paying more for less is a news story. When one observes anomalous behavior, it’s reasonable to bring attention to it, because things that don’t fit into one’s understanding of the world are educational opportunities. As a camera aficionado, I’ve been pleased that the competition has addressed the Leica pleasure points (compactness, responsiveness, wonderful lenses) so effectively and at such reasonable cost, a bit saddened that Leica has not been able to move forward as fast as the competition, and curiosity about whether Leica can remain viable now that it’s all about prestige and brand rather than actually enabling photographers to do anything they couldn’t otherwise do. As someone noted above, the most interesting Leica product these days is obviously the Monochrom. I’d love to play with one of those.

Re: Well, this is annoyi8ng.
The bayonet rings of lenses are generally metal so the contacts on the camera's bayonet ring are designed to short out anyways. There really should be no harm in changing lenses with the camera powered on. If anything its useful to power cycle on manual lenses so you can update the focal length, but that's about all I do.

Re: OT: The Leica T succeeds in pissing me off.
I think some people do buy Ferraris and Leicas for the cool and prestige value, but most of the Ferrari and Leica owners I know aren't those people. They're people who simply endure paying the price premium because they feel the product is worth the money. Despite Tim Bray's shock and horror that people might pay more for less, as if that was something new, different people have different metrics of what more and less amount to. As I said to another friend once, who was shocked that my M9 has no auto-focus, no program mode, no scene modes, no movie recording, only 2 fps continuous capture, and cost six times what his camera cost WITHOUT a lens, Sometimes it costs a lot of money to get only what you really want. The lack of these things is a plus to me, which raises the value of the camera enormously. My Sony A7 cost 22% of what the M9 cost me, and for that break in price I have to work around the several dozen features it has that I have no use or interest in, deal with what I consider rather twisty ergonomics, which I consider a serious minus. But it has a high positive value for me because it has the right sensor, the right format, and a good viewfinder to use my prized Leica R lenses with. I'll endure the rest of the dross to use my lenses, which overcome all the negatives. A Nissan 300Z has a six cylinder engine and 280 hp. My Mercedes SLK has a four cylinder, 195 hp engine. They are about the same size, weigh about the same, and carry the same load of passengers and luggage. I'll take the Merc any day over the Z, despite that it costs twice as much. It works better for me, I like it more. Just for the record, I think the T is a very interesting camera in many ways. I like the design. I withhold judgment on the touchscreen/minimal buttons control design until I try one (it's intriguing, might be hopeless but might also be excellent; note that it's very much like the minimal control design on my Polaroid SX-70 which for all that it lacks seems to work just fine...). I'm sure its performance with M-mount and R-mount lenses is excellent. I'm less a fan of the detachable EVF than I once was but I could work with that. But it's not for me because of the sensor format at this point: the Olympus E-M1 does everything I want in a smaller-than-35mm format better than anything else I've tried, so I want a body that provides a FF sensor format for my lenses that were designed for FF format. However, the lens mount on the T seems to be an enormous thing designed for a FF format sensor somewhere down the road. I'll keep my eyes on the T series to see when the Tff model arrives… Maybe it will be my Leica CL digital at some point, just as the Sony A7 is now. I'm patient, the lenses aren't going anywhere... :-) G On Apr 24, 2014, at 9:32 PM, knarf knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: I think you hit the nail on the head, Godfrey.

Re: White balance
White balance under mixed fluorescent and daylight is very tricky … it's constantly changing as the fluorescents cycle 60 times a second, never mind how the daylight might be changing as well due to passing clouds, etc. The AWB setting is constantly trying to match what it sees and determine a neutral gray tone, and it's rarely successful in these circumstances with any camera. Most Fluorescent lamps do not put out a continuous spectrum due to the way they produce light by fluorescing—exciting an exotic chemical substrate with electrical fields. The Daylight, Natural, Warm white, and Longlife color balance variations each have their different spectral signatures that the color temperature settings try to accommodate by approximation; they miss more often than they hit. I don't use any of those. If I'm going to be doing a lot of shooting in mixed daylight and fluorescent illumination, I lock the camera's white balance to some arbitrary color temperature and shoot a few sample frames of a Color Checker chart as the light shifts while I'm shooting my subjects. That way, at least the capture is happening at a consistent setting and the corrections will be more or less consistent from frame to frame. I can use the Color Checker sample shots to output a few different camera calibration profiles using the Xrite Passport software and try to accommodate the shifting that way too. It's a tough lighting situation. You just have to work around the challenge it presents. G On Apr 25, 2014, at 3:19 AM, Eric Weir eew...@bellsouth.net wrote: I don’t understand what it is.

Re: White balance
White balance has to do with matching the colour response of your editing software with the colour temperature of the dominant light source in your scene. You need to know that the usual light source suspects all give off light of different hues, based on their native colour temperature. For example: tungsten (incandescent): 2800 degrees Kelvin cool white fluorescent: 5000K daylight, flash: 5500K overcast: 6500K and so on. The reason you have a number of choices of fluorescent is because there are so many different colour balanced fluorescents available (daylight, cool, warm). To set the white balance, which corrects for the colour temperature, you would find a neutral colour in the scene, like the white shirt of the boy on the right, and use the eyedropper tool in the Develop module. Just click on the neutral colour and the WB shifts immediately. What can throw off things is when you have two dominant light sources of differing colour temperatures. In your scene you have daylight from the windows and overhead fluorescent competing. But I think the fluorescents are likely daylight balanced so probably close enough to the window light so as not to matter too much. As the afternoon wears on though the daylight colour temp shifts and the issue becomes a bigger problem. In your version of Lightroom you can use the adjustment brush to paint in colour temperature shifts where needed or a gradient filter to cause a gradual shift over the scene. To make sure you have a neutral colour to sample you can being a good grey card along to shoot in the scene. The colour checker that Godfrey mentioned is the extra fancy version of that that allows very fine adjustments for the whole spectrum. Great for studio shooting (product and fashion) but overkill for most needs.

But I was assigned to get a photo of Mary Barra introducing the Trax on Monday night. It was another let’s-get-it-up-first exercise, and I had it on its way to Times Tower within about a minute.

Re: semi OT : got AVAST - but now have a dowloading problem
I never had Avast give me Dropbox. However I do know that Dropbox probably reset Windows references to Adobe camera downloader. The problem with Dropbox, and similar free services, is that it's free so they skimp on things like uninstall scripts. The Adobe product is probably still installed, if you have a menu item in the start menu, it may have a repair option, but if you have the software available a reinstall is probably just as easy.

Re: White balance
A gray card gives your camera or the white balance tool in LR a single point of reference to adjust the RGB mix to a neutral balance. But flourescents are not continuous spectrum light and a single point reference is not enough to fully correct color crossovers. The use of a Color Checker and Passport to create camera profiles based on the light recorded gives a many point reference model to bring all colors to meet the color reference standard through a much more powerful, versatile mechanism. I find it essential when working in diverse, multiple light source situations where color accuracy is important. A camera calibration profile can better handle such situations by modifying the entire raw conversion across all colors at the color interpolation part of the conversion process.

Re: GESO: NY Auto Show
Thanks Ann. I got to the location early for the Trax and Mustang shots since I was assigned those. That’s pretty much a mandatory if you don’t want to count on luck at these things. The dusk shot was from the 58th floor, which is where the party was held.. The Empire State building has old-fashioned double hung windows that open, so some of them were raised about 6 inches to get some fresh air into the room — just enough room for a lens.

It is under the File menu of Bridge, but if you want it to happen automatically upon attaching your camera, I believe this is set in the Bridge Preferences. It is possible that something corrupted or changed your Bridge Preferences. Or if you mean when you double-click a file/image what happened before doesn't happen now - then you are talking about the file associations for Bridge. Google that, along with your version (CS2, CS3, etc.) to see how to change them back to what they were before. For example: repair Adobe Bridge file associations You'll see lots of people talking about these being lost (or probably more accurately, hijacked by a program you installed after). Hope this helps.

Re: semi OT : got AVAST - but now have a dowloading problem
All good now - see response to BRian :-) (I'm using Adobe elements 5.0 - don't know about bridges) ann On 4/25/2014 18:28, Darren Addy wrote: I was using Adobe camera downloader and it seems to have disappeared What do you mean by this, Ann? I'm assuming you are talking about the Bridge command. It is under the File menu of Bridge, but if you want it to happen automatically upon attaching your camera, I believe this is set in the Bridge Preferences. It is possible that something corrupted or changed your Bridge Preferences. Or if you mean when you double-click a file/image what happened before doesn't happen now - then you are talking about the file associations for Bridge. Google that, along with your version (CS2, CS3, etc.) to see how to change them back to what they were before. For example: repair Adobe Bridge file associations You'll see lots of people talking about these being lost (or probably more accurately, hijacked by a program you installed after). Hope this helps.

Italy in May
I'm going to be in Italy next month, and I want to visit the towns my grandparents came from, which are both in the Abruzzo region: Bugnara and Giulianova. Hopefully our resident Italian PDMLers can help me with these questions about the region: - I'm hoping I can travel around Abruzzo by train and/or bus rather than rent a car. Is this feasible? I normally use Google Maps for getting around, but it doesn't show mass transit options in Italy and I'm not sure where to look for accurate maps and timetables. - How difficult is it to find hostels in the cities and towns of Abruzzo? - My parents visited the region a couple decades ago and said there was a big problem with pickpocketing and bag slashing. Is this still the case? What can I do to protect myself and my belongings? - My parents knew some Italian and were able to converse with people when necessary. I don't know any Italian. Will this be a big problem? I know a little Spanish, but I doubt that will help at all... - I'm told I have distant cousins in Giulianova and Bugnara, but none of them speak English. Would it be worth trying to meet them, or would it just be awkward because of the language barrier? - What are some hidden gems to see in Abruzzo? I'm thinking churches/cathedrals, museums, historical sites, beautiful landscapes, local landmarks, bars/restaurants, and other things like those. My itinerary starts in Milan, and then I'm probably going to go to Venice and Florence for a couple days each before heading south. After Abruzzo I'll head to Rome to fly home.

Re: White balance
What white balance do you have your camera set to? In many ways it doesn't matter which one you choose as long as you choose a specific one and *NOT* auto white balance. Auto white balance in the camera will change the white balance for every image. If you choose a specific white balance, even if it's the wrong one, all of the images will be the same. You get the first one color corrected and all the rest can be synchronized to it. ... until you go into another room or go outdoors. But still, you color correct the first one in the group synchronize all the rest from that group to the first one. One thing is to carry a gray-card. Get yourself one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/101853-REG/Delta_22030_Gray_Card_8x10_1.html (The URL probably doesn't wrap correctly. I'm still searching for where to turn flowed text on.) Anyway, cut it into quarters carry one-quarter in your pocket. Let one of the kids hold it up for you in your first shot for the group. When it wears out, use another quarter ... until all of them are worn out. You can use the white-balance eye-dropper tool to color correct the photo that has the gray card in it then synchronize the rest of the images taken in the same light to that first one.
