Subject: PESO - Stormtrooper on the web


Warning: not for people with arachnophobia.

Today, I saw a very unusual spider.
It is called "spiny orb weaver", but it looks like a stormtrooper:
http://42graphy.org/misc/2015-06-10-spider/
The second photo shows the unusually colorful butt (and you might be able
to see even the tiny thread coming from it to about 7:30)
The formal classification name is Gasteracantha cancriformis
http://goo.gl/5a3ui1
Apparently, these species are frequent in this part of the country.

It was hard to photograph this creature because of the light breeze that
was sufficient to move the web in and out of focus but insufficient to
prevent me from sweating in the over-90F heat.

All comments are welcome.

Karsh was pretty much a very well paid superstar photographer. At his

prestigious hotel in Ottawa.

The Life Of Karsh is a great read, and would really open the eyes of
many present-day photographers. Especially the "get it right in

Pity the fucking Harper government won't actually support the arts

Alan,

I suspect the correct link should be:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/18655858276/in/dateposted-public/
(without the "@")

Nice capture of a shiny creature.

What is a bit surprising to me is the almost snake-like body, 
i.e. without the variation of the width and/or any type of bends/kinks in 
the middle, that are typical for lizards (unlike snakes).

Thanks, John. I think it does, if it's installed. Not certain, but I sense, 
though, that it's not essential, that without it you'd still get updates to the 
standalone version.

Re: Flickr as backup

2015-06-10 Thread Igor PDML-StR


I was exhausted scrolling down the webpage... and still couldn't find what 
it costs..


I am rather sceptical about companies using cookie-cutter-type websites 
which indicates they cannot or are not willing to hire a good web 
designer. It's weird to see that from a 14-y.o. company with this product 
being 7-8 y.o.
But on another hand, the portion of their revenue from retail customers is 
less than 20%.



Also, surprisingly, Adobe LR's page has a similar look and feel:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
Recently, I've seen a bunch of small startups and mid-size companies using 
this type of template... It must be a sign of me getting old, but I don't 
like that type of site design (aka UX).

[1] Realistic? Don't know, that depends on your broadband speed and
any data caps or limits your ISP might impose on you. You use the
Flickr Uploadr app for Mac/PC
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/flickr/flickr-uploadr-mac-sln24869.html
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/flickr/flickr-uploadr-windows-sln25996.html

[2] Separate? Again from the help, the Uploadr app sets anything it
uploads to be private. That's as separate as it gets.

I know no more than what I've just read in their help, I haven't used
it myself so can't comment on that.

2015-06-10 Thread ann sanfedele

 Especially for Paul Sorenson to note - I found the text outline tool!

Another one of those things where from one version to later ones they 
have to change the names of things.


Under "effects"  then under  "Layer styles" select "strokes" and instead 
of just one outline box to click on, you have a choice of colors and 
elaborateness..

I get what I want clicking "black" .

One thing in ELements version 10 I can't seem to do is to use the roller 
on the mouse to change the size of the image in the work area..
something I use a lot if I'm doing spotting and such..  it does it 
gradually in elemtns 5 that way ... but in 10 it just zooms in and out 
with the cntrl + or - thing.


after all my techno hassles, it ws topped off with a toothache that was 
cured by an extraction... wasn't any use to do root canal as it was way 
in the back and
had no adjoining teeth to support a fix anyway..  andy ya know, I really 
don't need tooth... Had a day and a half of hell - then delight quickly 
- . phew!

Don't expect photos :-)

However I might get to a couple of peso's from my Botanical garden trip 
a few days ago when I picked up my free membership...


Just wanted to keep ya posted.

Re: Creative Cloud on my system

2015-06-10 Thread John
I think Adobe uses the Creative Cloud system to deliver updates, 
patches, bug-fixes etc to the stand-alone products.

Interesting presentation of Before and After photos of Moscow

2015-06-10 Thread Igor PDML-StR


The Guardian published a curious set of "paired" photos:
http://gu.com/p/49hnq/sbl


At least in one photo ("Skiers in front of ..." -- the 2nd to the last),
the vantage point is different... So, it's a bit of "cheating".
And I am not sure why they couldn't photograph it in 2015 from the 
original point or at least close to it... I don't remember anything build 
there, but I might be wrong, I've been there only briefly last year, 
during a conference trip.

Re: Flickr as backup

2015-06-10 Thread Igor PDML-StR


Eric,


From what I know, you can make photos private on Flickr.

So, that should resolve your issue (2). Just make the "backups" private.

I suspect, however, there is no way to clearly separate "backups" area 
from the rest.


I am not using Flickr myself (my wife does), - so, I don't know if you 
can set "private" as a default for all uploaded photos, or you'd have to 
set it manually after uploading...


As for (1), - I am not sure... it probably depends on your workflow.
I am not aware of an "automatic backup from computers" to Flickr tools.
But maybe they've created something...

Just in case, - if you have Amazon Prime, - that offers unlimited storage 
of photos in the cloud. But the same logistics questions remain. So, the 
only advantage is the "unlimited".


But then the question is - what is your bandwidth and the traffic cap with 
your ISP, - how long will it take you to upload your photos...



Igor

Re: Nice work if you can get it

No. Karsh charged a great deal for portraits. And he did such
assignments as this, shooting all the mucky mucks in Parliament.

Karsh was pretty much a very well paid superstar photographer. At his
peak he lived in a suite of rooms at the Chateau Laurier, a still
prestigious hotel in Ottawa.

The Life Of Karsh is a great read, and would really open the eyes of
many present-day photographers. Especially the "get it right in
camera" cultists. (He employed a team of retouchers.)

Re: Priolite High Speed Sync for Pentax

2015-06-10 Thread Bruce Walker
Very cool. Pricing is right in line with Profoto's battery monolight,
the D1. The D1 can do HSS but only with Canon and Nikon. This could
very well help increase penetration of the 645Z into the fashion,
portrait and wedding markets.

The Canadian government recently spent over $2.3 million to photograph
cabinet ministers.

Am I right in thinking that most pros would be happy to do portraits
for a few $hundred a subject and no-one, not even a famous master like

Expensive though.


It only exceeds my budget by a single order of magnitude.
