PESO: Cold

[Alan C]

The scene which greeted us when we arrived at the Crystal Springs Mountain 
resort last Friday. It looks like snow but it is actually small hail. We had 
a cold, wet weekend but the chalet had an excellent fireplace & the TV 
reception was good. The highlight of the W/E was probably the Currie Cup 
Rugby Final in which Western Province held on to beat the Lions (formerly 
Transvaal) 16-13. Conditions were not wonderful for photography but I will 
post a GESO later.

Re: External Hard Drives

[Igor PDML-StR]

Mark,

Just in case, - since you mentioned you were considering a USB 3.0 card, - 
Two years ago, I bought this card:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/696114-REG/Transcend_TS_PDU3_2_Port_USB_3_0_PCI.html
I put it into my desktop that was put into "production" back in January of 
2007.
I am not using this desktop as frequently as my laptop, but I have some 
software on it that is not available elsewhere, and so, it is very nice to 
be able to use the same HDDs efficiently.


I don't remember if you are using a Mac or PC, but if it is a PC, $13 
is not that much to get a much better experience.


Cheers,

Igor

PS. There are more expensive cards with that have more than 2 ports, but
those are (1) more expensive, and (2) they have some additional 
limitations due to the PCI-e. However, if you've got an empty PCI-e x4 
(or x16) slot, I suspect you can buy something that is even better.
Also, note that the card referenced above may not adequate power to power 
some "mobile" HDDs that are USB 3.0-powered (and require 0.9V). For those, 
you need a card with an additional power connector (from the power source 
or elsewhere). If you have any questions on this, - feel free to ask me.

Re: Two images from a recent visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden

[Brian Walters]

Quoting Eric Weir :


Autumn Crocus
https://www.flickr.com/photos/eeweir/15405892848/in/set-72157648487798090/lightbox/

Water Lilly
https://www.flickr.com/photos/eeweir/14971286324/in/set-72157648487798090/lightbox/



I like the water lily shot, although the left hand side is a bit dull.  
I'd crop a bit off the left (just right of the semi-circular leaf) and  
maybe a bit off the top as well.  That crop would give a more pleasing  
composition (to my eye) and draw a bit more attention to the small  
water puddle flowing off to the lower right which, I think, adds  
considerable interest to the whole image.

The BBC television show "Top Gear" recently (this year, I think) did a 
good episode on "post war micro cars" that includes quite a few of 
these.  Actually, it wasn't "Top Gear" itself, but rather James May, 
only.  The title of the series of shows is "Cars of the People", and 
episode 2 is the one with micro cars.  There's also a "Top Gear" episode 
about the Peel P50 (?) and the BMW Isetta, and several including Reliant 
Robins.

Re: External Hard Drives

My PC is only USB 2 compatible - I probably should get a USB 3.0 card

days! I started xxcopy from a command prompt yesterday and have about 
1.5 TB xfered so far this afternoon. USB 2.0 is not a problem when 
archiving daily shooting of a few gigs or so, but for this kind of 
transfer it is slow...


My recent spate of shooting 6x7 film expedited the need to upgrade - 
the files are ~570 megs each. I archive the original scans and save 
any edits in separate files - it quickly eats up storage space.


Thanks to everyone who offered advice and suggestions.

Re: OT - Photomatix Essentials Free Download

[Mark C]

FWIW - I use Photomatix regularly on landscapes. When used with 
restraint it has a great way of evening up the tonality in an image and 
clarifying details. I often create a file in Photomatix and use it as a 
layer in compositions and find it very useful. It takes some time to 
figure out the controls and there are some controls that are needed but 
not present, but it can be a great tool.


I don't use it one closeups or macros - somehow it makes landscapes 
clearer but muddies up closeups.

Re: PESO - Scrubby Oaks

Thanks, Ann - I generally agree regarding autumn colors under clouds or

those in bright sun.


Maybe this is the one you are looking for?

I only have one more of these fall color shots left to post - a few cold 
nights and stormy days with high winds have pretty much stripped the

2014 is in the can for me.

Another 6x7 film shot from the past couple of weeks. This is one
Kodak Ektar

challenge
to scan and get the colors right. Out of the scanner needed more

Re: External Hard Drives

[Bob W-PDML]

I'm trying out an experiment at the moment with OneDrive, after mentioning it 
in a previous reply. 

You can keep your LR library on the local drive and put a symbolic link to it 
in the OneDrive folder, and OneDrive synchronises it online. The advantage of 
keeping the working library on the hard disk is of course access speed, but the 
whole thing is backed up offsite automatically.

I started this on Sunday and it is still synchronising, but I have much less 
data than you.

Re: PESO: Blue Geranium

[Mark C]

A good specimen with interesting colors, appears to be very sharp and 
detailed. Nice shot. I am more familiar with geraniums as having flowers 
in clusters but see ones like this often growing wild.

Buck Garden, part of a former estate now owned and operated by the
Somerset County Park Commission.  My wife noted it had been quite a
while since our last visit, so this past Saturday, we drove up to
visit the Garden.

It is not as spectacular as in the spring, especially when the azaleas
and rhododendrons are in full bloom.  Never-the-less, it is always a
pleasant site for a peaceful walk in the serenity of nature.

There were a few colorful plants in bloom, including this unusual blue geranium:

Re: Peso-Fall In Colorado

Valued remarks, Paul!  Thanks.

The B&W is the only one I have framed and exhibit. The color, however, attracts 
me more than many, due to 
the way the sun is touching the tree tops.

Re:PESO 2014 - 292-293 diptych - GDG

Agreed but I think the left one is made stronger by the right one & 
therefore like the diptych better.

I like these two as a diptych, but I think the individual frames are strong 
enough to stand on their own.

Re: Two images from a recent visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden

[Bruce]

A general comment - for both the subject comes across as being too centered.  
It could be partially aspect ratio, but in any case, I would crop just a bit 
somewhere to shift these.  As the background in both images is not strongly 
contributing, any crop would probably work.  Doing that much would help.

As for each image - I prefer the water lilly.  I think partly because the 
background competes less than in the crocus.  Also, the lighting is more 
pleasing.

In both cases, I would really look to blurring the background more - possibly a 
longer focal length and/or a more wide open shot to really get the background 
to not compete with the subject.

It is interesting to view from an ipad because you can pinch zoom and then drag 
the image around to see the effects of what a crop would look like.  For the 
water lilly, I think cropping alone would really strengthen the shot and end up 
with a very pleasing image.

OT - the smallest cars - funny photos

[Igor PDML-StR]

I know that there are many car enthusiasts on this list.
Additionally, I find some of these images funny.
http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20141021-driving-the-worlds-smallest-car

If you are looking on a desktop, - make sure you click on the horizontal 
image "scroll bar" just below the green "share this page" sign, -

so that you can see all the images.
I dislike this design (compared to the "linear" design that I get on my 
mobile phone browser).

Re: PESO 2014 - 292-293 diptych - GDG

That is exactly what made the pair work for me.  I think of the Harry Potter 
movies where people move back and forth between pictures.  The little boy seems 
like he is ready to jump to the other picture.  So the two work together.  The 
left one doesn't work so well stand alone.   The right one can stand alone.

I wonder how much of this impression is due to the character of the light

Are you sure it is related more to the vagaries of scanning this
particular film?

Another 6x7 film shot from the past couple of weeks. This is one
Kodak Ektar
100, something I use with a little trepidation since it can be a
challenge
to scan and get the colors right. Out of the scanner needed more
adjustment
than other films, but it was not unmanageable.

Comments welcome.

Re: Blue Geranium

[Ann Sanfedele]

Dan - Gorgeous flower!
You should be able to blur the background more selecting it and
then just using noise reduction, dust and scratches thing.  I don't 
think it needs to be done radically. YOu really nailed the flower.

Subject: PESO: Blue Geranium



Earlier this month, my wife and I attended the 2014 Far Hills Race
Meeting, and I have posted a few images from that event.  Perhaps more
will come.

On the way home from the races, we took the back roads to avoid all
the drunks leaving the tailgate parties.  We passed the Leonard J.
Buck Garden, part of a former estate now owned and operated by the
Somerset County Park Commission.  My wife noted it had been quite a
while since our last visit, so this past Saturday, we drove up to
visit the Garden.

It is not as spectacular as in the spring, especially when the azaleas
and rhododendrons are in full bloom.  Never-the-less, it is always a
pleasant site for a peaceful walk in the serenity of nature.

There were a few colorful plants in bloom, including this unusual blue
geranium:

Re: PESO My fav pano spot

[Ann Sanfedele]

Rob, my HP monitor's screen's aspect ratio is 16 x 9  - that's what I 
"cropped" your image to :-) - and I enlarged your photo so I could "pan" 
across and see everything on it... I got a lot of detail in pieces... 
the first view I get is the whole image across the screen but with the 
bottom of the screen all white..


Ah yes the opera house, they always show that here on TV whenever there 
is any news at all from your 'Town" :-)


I make a distinction between a photographer's artistry/craftmanship in
capturing an image, whether or not the subject matter is something I
like. I just found the left hand side of the pano more pleasing to
look at..reflections in quiet waters are soothing.

got any pano's from the outback? ;)

Hi Guys,

Thanks again for commenting. Igor I'm impressed that you can see so
many potential uses for the pic, what do I do with all the rest? ;)

Attila, I've had jobs on the Tall ship that you mentioned, it's a
lovely vessel, here's an alternate view
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9304908/temp/IMG511715.JPG

Sorry Ann, it's a big image, without using the Gigapan site of
something similar it's difficult to display such images effectively,
if you make them fit into a normal screen you end up discarding all
the details which is what really makes the image IMO. The "sails"
building is the Sydney Opera House, that and the Sydney Harbour Bridge
are basically the Sydney Harbour tourist icons though of course there
is far more to the city.

Bob, it was a pleasure being able to spend time with you, any time you
are out this way again :)

Cheers,

That's a wonderful pano of a great place.
We still relish the tour you gave us and the harbor.

silhouette of the famous structure with the "sails" that I can't remember
the name of I could look at a long time.  Cruise ships are instruments of

Hi Team,

I've been shooting events back to back over the past few months and
have had very little time spare to engage in any other photography and
I'm really missing shooting landscapes. So this morning (after
shooting an event last night) got up at an ungodly hour to see if I
could capture a nice little morning pano. This is one of 10, I haven't
stitched any others as yet but I'm pretty happy with the way this one
came out given the fairly lackluster sky.

Tech: 15 images, 185MP stitched. K3 ISO100 1/10s MUP, Sigma Art

Re: PESO 2014 - 292-293 diptych - GDG

[Bruce]

Yes, they do work well together.  They form a stronger image than by 
themselves.  Of the two, I think the right one is the stronger stand alone 
shot.  Nicely seen.

Re:PESO - Potsdam Pedestrians

[Don Guthrie]

For some reason Potsdam always sounds exotic to me, so your everyday 
street scenes ground me in reality. So as a street photo I like this 
shot but it looks like it could be from a midwest city in the USA.

Nice treatment of a singular beauty. Certainly an unusual color for 
geranium.

You go to a "noir nude workshop" and all you show us is a head shot?  
It is a fine portrait, in any event.

I like the head tilt and the diagonal arrangement. Really

I tried that crop; but preserving the mailbox left just the very nose
