I'm always impressed with the quality of images off 'phones today. I like
the composition of the image as well - bike, lake...well, what is there not
to like?

Late reply, yet another long broadband failure.

It's probably worth a reminder of these three 'sites (not that there's
much said about the 24/3.5 in them.)

AFAIK it has no way of knowing that a directory has been moved or renamed.  I 
just move/rename it the same at both ends before running my next backup.

SMC-K 24mm f3.5

2015-06-13 Thread Mark C
I bought a copy of this lens from B&H a few days ago, and it arrived 
yesterday afternoon. I really have to hand it to B&H - this copy is 
absolutely perfect / mint / like new condition. I bought it mostly to 
use reverse mounted for macro work - something that will get me more 
magnification than the DFA 50mm macro using the same extension. I made a 
few test shots today and I can only say I am *really* impressed with 
this lens. I fully expected to see some degree of chromatic aberration ( 
and was hoping it would be correctable) - but really, there is none. 
None. This may not hold up for all subjects, but in the tests I ran 
today it was amazing.


I am really feeling good in that the DFA 50mm macro has proven to be 
exceptional, and the K 24 f3.5 looks like it will be every bit as good. 
I tried a lot of lenses recently for high magnification work - M 50mm f4 
macro, M 50mm f1.7, A 28mm f2.8, F 28mm f2.8, and XR Rikenon 28mm f2.8 
and a few enlarger lenses (admittedly no first rate enlarger lenses). 
The F 28mm f2.8 was the only one that delivered acceptable results, but 
this K24 is clearly a cut above. Pentax should revive some the optical 
formulas in these cult classic lenses - add the latest coatings, AF and 
LTD lens build quality - call them the CC Limited Series.


I also should comment that I am very positively impressed with B&H's 
return process. I never had occasion to use their return service before, 
but they quickly processed the return on the AF 160 ringflash that did 
not work out. I replaced the flash with an AF360FGZ original model - so 
I will continue to use the flash setup that I have used for the last 10 
years or so. The cost of the K 24 f3.5 consumed the rest of the refund, 
with a little left over.

I think you want the --delete option

--deletedelete extraneous files from dest dirs

or one of its brethren

--delete-before receiver deletes before transfer (default)
--delete-during receiver deletes during xfer, not before
--delete-after  receiver deletes after transfer, not before
--delete-excluded   also delete excluded files from dest dirs

One thing that I haven't figured out how to do efficiently with rsync is 
for it to track when I move a directory.


I will upload photos into a generic (for this half of the year)

The Monmouth Rebellion was a late echo of the English Civil War (Wikipedia has 
a good entry about it).

The Puritans' damage was very intentional, all over England. I'll be posting 
some pics soon of Glastonbury Abbey, which Cromwell and his boys utterly 
destroyed (with drawing and quartering the abbot as a diversion).

very well executed Ken. I like it a lot. Terrific use of lines. The
color of the one brown line on the very left side of the frame is
possibly a bit too saturated for the rest of the elements in the
image. Or maybe you wanted it that way.

Great work.

I absolutely agree, Jack.  Unfortunately, there are some distracting
background elements in the direction the llama is facing, so I cropped

You can use Flickr for backup too. Just set your uploaded files (TIFF, DNG,

But services like CrashPlan work much better for real backup.

Re: PESO: LLook at me

I get it now! Two "L"s in llama and Llook. Very cute LOL!

That's a really good portrait, Dan. Again, impressive detail, and quite the 
imperious expression. Llamas seem to be good at that.

This is a very small nit, but those specular highlights in the background are a 
bit of a bother. Maybe if they were burned just a bit...

Overall a very fine photo.

Cheers,

frank

I absolutely agree, Jack.  Unfortunately, there are some distracting
background elements in the direction the llama is facing, so I cropped
it more tightly than otherwise I would have.

Now I'm just sort of fooling and funnin, but in this portrait, the same rules 
apply as in any.
There should always be a bit more space between the subject and the frame edge 
in the direction the subject is facing.
Also, in the case of a moving object, the direction of travel should be 
comfortably allow for by providing more room in 
the frame ahead of the object/person/or?

Not sure of the taxonomy on this one - good sized fly that I found in 
throes on my sidewalk.

Re: Automating super macros

2015-06-13 Thread Mark C
As Steve pointed out there is the Stack Shot rail. I bought a  Kiwi rail 
that works very well - mlocal camera store had on in sock:


http://www.huntsphotoandvideo.com/detail_page.cfm?ProductID=PRO9440&mfg=Promaster&show=yes

One trick that I came up with was to put a small spring clamp on the 
rail's small knob to allow greater leverage and fine control over the 
movement of the rail. My old Pentax macro rail II sways a little as it 
moves, which doe snot help the stacking process. It has a couple of 
adjusting screws on it and if I ever figure out what they are I may see 
if it can be adjusted to move without swaying. The Kiwin does not work 
in the cold (gets very stiff) so I still use the Pentax rails for 
snowflakes.


I think that Zerene Stacker may use 3D modelling internally with its 
DMap process. I use a combination of the two methodologies available in 
Zerene Stacker and also Photoshops stacking tool. I can't yet predict 
which will work best for any given stack, and usually use all three 
approaches. Lately I've been using PS to combine multiple outputs from 
Zerene stacker with good results.

On 6/13/2015 12:48 AM, Larry Colen wrote:

I was thinking about Mark's amazing macros and how much work they must be. I 
know that there are setups to move your camera forward on a slide rail.  Is 
there also one that has a wheel with contacts so that every quarter turn of the 
threaded rod clicks the shutter?
In a similar vein,  does any of the stacking software construct 3d models of 
the object?

Re: Flickr as backup

2015-06-13 Thread John

On 6/12/2015 2:06 PM, Eric Weir wrote:


Many of the comments here, as well as some of the sources referenced,
seem to be talking about “publishication” rather than “backup.” I use
Flickr to share select images, usually edited, with others. To my
tastes it works fine for this purpose. I don’t need anything else for
it.



That's why I don't think Flickr would work as "backup". It's really only
designed for sharing images - whether it be public or private.


What I’m looking for is a way to duplicate or possibly enhance my
current back up system, which is two 1 TB firewire external drives
managed with Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner. Regarding
photography what I want basically is ability to create a copy of my
photo directory as is and then make incremental backups to it as
additions or changes are made to the original. I don’t want to show
anyone my unedited DNG files.

Earlier this year I had planned to create a new external drive-based
system with much larger capacity drives accessible by wi-fi. I had
identified the drives and a router and had talked with a
tech-consultant friend about helping me set it up.

Finances led me to hold up on proceeding with this idea. I may be
ready to go ahead with it. Or, as a temporary backstop to my current
system, I may give one of the cloud-based systems a try, likely
Dropbox or CrashPlan.



Wikipedia has a fairly good chart comparing online backup services:
