Years ago, I had an original Moonrise, signed by St Ansel himself in my
hot little hands. The gallery wanted several thousand dollars more for
it than I could afford at the time.
I did notice that the foreground was a tad soft though.


Shallow depth of field can be a problem on those full frame cameras.

THe photo is just lovely - but photo.net is framing it oddly - at least

PESO - Crane

(K-5, DA 40/2.8 ltd)

It's a roaring crane rather than a whooping crane, because it has a big diesel

Re: Questions about LR database manipulations

2014-10-08 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
Realized I had a perfect test case right here:

- merge without moving, LR just updates the database with the information for 
the off-line files.

- merge with a move: LR updates the DB and tries to move the files, then posts 
a notice that the off-line files could not be moved. The off line locations are 
added to the folder panel. 

Test done with LR 5.6.

Carlos - thanks...
I sure appreicate the offer, but I looked one up on ebay and it
weighs 15 ounces.. twice as much as the 18-55.. The K-5 with the
lens I have is already heavier than I can manage comfortably these
days. (Remembering the days when I had two lx's , one with a 135
one with a 28 around my neck for hours... before broken back and
shoulder and much younger. sigh.)



The lens balances very well on my k-7, which is the same size and weight
as your k-5. It doesn't feel heavy and it has the advantage of not
changing its length when zooming or focusing. Of course, it is bigger as
it is also faster than the Pentax. Sigma says in its web page that the
lens weighs 13.9 oz. (395 gr.)

If you change your mind, let me know and I'll send the lens your way. I
use it very little because I also have a Sigma 18-50 2.8, so it is
redundant. In case you want it, I'll also pay for the shipping expenses.

GESO - Wall Art in BsAs

2014-10-08 Thread Igor PDML-StR


You may have seen a "mural" that I posted recently to PDML under "What 
have we done?".
Also, some PDMLers might remember me posting some interesting "murals" 
from various places around the world.
I find that graffiti in other parts of the world are rather different from 
what I've seen in the US. US graffiti is more frequently to be B&W,

and also would reflect somebody's tag, rather than being just artistic.
I might be wrong, - but in many cases graffiti in other countries 
is less related to gangs (unlike in the US), and those graffiti are

more colorful (as opposed to B&W graffiti in the US).

South America seems to be one of the regions with very artistic
coloorful murals
A year ago, I saw very interesting murals in Santiago, Chile.

This year, in August, I was in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a conference, 
and was lucky to see some amazing murals, most (starting from the 4th) on 
the last day, just a few hours prior to the departure:

http://42graphy.org/galleries/2014-08-BsAsGraffiti/
The photos #2 and #3 are mosaic murals from one of subway stations,
the rest are from the streets.
What's amazing is that some of them are several (up to 5 or 6!) stories 
high.



All comments are welcome.

Igor

PS. I just found this article on ABC-news that confirms my observations:
http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/story?id=7697519
I especially like the story near the bottom of the 2nd page about
a policeman "commissioning" an artist to draw on his house's wall.

Also, I just found that a few people/agencies offer street art tours
in BsAs:
http://buenosairesstreetart.com/tours/

That first one is just a _great_ shot, Charles. I love the warm tight
circle of the performers with the darker and cooler audience around. A
real winner.

The pull-back shot is quite interesting too; a most unusual

PESO: In the audience

2014-10-08 Thread Charles Robinson
I saw a show last night at First Avenue, and the artists (band name: "Lucius" 
if you're curious) wrapped up the program by performing their encore in the 
middle of the audience, rather than up on stage.

I like the cozy look of the key lighting here:

For perspective, here's the whole room.  I actually really like the colors here 
as well:

I did notice that the foreground was a tad soft though.

Carlos - thanks...
I sure appreicate the offer, but I looked one up on ebay and it
weighs 15 ounces.. twice as much as the 18-55.. The K-5 with the
lens I have is already heavier than I can manage comfortably these
days. (Remembering the days when I had two lx's , one with a 135
one with a 28 around my neck for hours... before broken back and
shoulder and much younger. sigh.)



The lens balances very well on my k-7, which is the same size and weight 
as your k-5. It doesn't feel heavy and it has the advantage of not 
changing its length when zooming or focusing. Of course, it is bigger as 
it is also faster than the Pentax. Sigma says in its web page that the 
lens weighs 13.9 oz. (395 gr.)


If you change your mind, let me know and I'll send the lens your way. I 
use it very little because I also have a Sigma 18-50 2.8, so it is 
redundant. In case you want it, I'll also pay for the shipping expenses.

Ann, I have a Sigma 18-50 2.8-4.5 OS HSM which I don't use nowadays. OS
means it has inner optical stabilization (not necessary with most Pentax
SLRs) and HSM means it has its own focusing motor, like Pentax SDM and
DC lenses. You can have it for free. It has also tha advantage of being
2/3 of a stop faster than the Pentax 18-55, and it has internal zoom and
