OT - PESO - Waiting
Sunday morning at Timmy's: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2015/11/waiting_92.html?m=1 Tim Horton's is a Canada - wide donut/coffee chain. They are ubiquitous. Their coffee is mediocre at best and my memories of their donuts is about the same. Perhaps the tepid coffee is what annoyed this young lady? In my imagination she'd been stood up. Or recently jilted. It's the romantic in me (apologies to Captain Renault). Taken, processed and posted from phone cam. Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome. Cheers, frank Hope you enjoy.

Yeah, I try to avoid coffee shop grabs (I know I've posted some in the past) but sometimes you just see "a shot that you must take". This is such an instance. :-) I've reposted based on your suggested crop sent off-list. I think it makes for a stronger image; thanks! http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2015/11/waiting_99.html?m=0 If it tinted that was unintentional, something done by the in-phone processing.

Re: OT - PESO - Waiting
She may just be waiting for the caffeine to kick in. :) I like it. The image mood matches the subject's. I'm not so hard on Timmies as you, Frank. But that may only be because I've had to hang around in Timmies or visit them for takeout on numerous occasions in the last two years as my parent's health faded and I spent innumerable hours in hospitals, where Tim Hortons is the only game in town. I practically lived on their sour cream doughnuts and their "New!" dark roast coffee, which is pretty good compared to most of the other mega coffee shop chains. Admittedly I've returned to avoiding them now, but there'll always be that not entirely unpleasant association of sharing coffee and doughnuts off a cardboard tray with my sister and parents by a hospital bed.

OT: Digital black & white
I went with some friends to the Lee Miller exhibition at the Imperial War Museum today - it's a superb exhibition and I recommend it very highly. I took my Fuji X20 with me because one of my friends has one on my recommendation but couldn't figure out how to set it to black & white only, which is all she's interested in shooting. So before going I set mine up - I normally shoot raw - so I would know what to do, and would look like I knew what I was doing. I took some snaps to see how it all plays out. This is one of them, and I have a question about it. http://www.web-options.com/IWM.jpg If you enlarge it to its full size the 'grain', for want of a better term, is very blobby as if I'd shot it through rippled bathroom glass. I don't think this is noise - the iso was 200 - but it's pretty ugly. I've never noticed anything like this when rendering in b from raw. Is this normal for in-camera b jpg?

Re: Boris Peso #03 - Etude
Welcome back! (yes, I owe you an email). I think this is a wonderful photo, a vibrant street (sidewalk?) scene, beautifully rendered. If I might be allowed a thought: If it was me I'd crop it just to the left of the lady turned in her chair, right about the edge of the white wall. Whatever transaction is happening to the left of that, by the darkened characters, doesn't add much to the scene, IMHO, and I think the photo would have more impact without that distraction. If you choose to leave it, it would still be a wonderful photo.

Re: OT: Digital black & white
Bob, that looks just like the kind of image you get from an older gen cellphone with a fairly lo-rez sensor, like 3-4 mpix. How have you got the JPG rendering configured? They usually provide two adjustments. Eg: in Ricoh's case, number of pixels (image size) and JPEG Quality (1 to 4 stars). If you reduce the size I'd expect something like you're seeing here. But if that's the result from using the highest Q settings, then I'd never use anything but raw. :) On Sun, Nov 8, 2015 at 5:25 PM, Bob W-PDMLwrote: > I went with some friends to the Lee Miller exhibition at the Imperial War > Museum today - it's a superb exhibition and I recommend it very highly. > > I took my Fuji X20 with me because one of my friends has one on my > recommendation but couldn't figure out how to set it to black & white only, > which is all she's interested in shooting.

First, the reason for the first move was failure of the hard drive on which I was keeping my photos. The switch to the other drive involved importing the database on the backup drive, which I believe—though I am now a little uncertain—was up-to-date. I purchased and installed an 8 TB WD My Book Duo (two 4 TB drives), I have a copy of the backed up database on one of the new drives, and would like to use it as the original location of the database. Something else that may be relevant is that in the process of getting the new setup configured the way I wanted it copied the original backup of the database to one of the new drives so I could reformat and reparation my original backup drive. In the process I renamed the drive (My Book from My Book 2, because there was now only one My Book). So my concern: Have I lost the data on my edits of images in the process of doing what I just described? Second, right clicking the folders in LR has no effect. Is that because LR is not currently connected to the database? If so, given what I described above, I am going to have to reimport the database?

Re: Deleting folders from Lightroom navigator
I see questions like this constantly. 1- understand how Lightroom interacts with the file system BEFORE you do something and then have to figure out to fix it. 2- when you don't understand something, ask questions BEFORE you try things. 3- when you're learning stuff, make a small, temporary catalog folder and image file repository to experiment with BEFORE you apply actions to your large working catalog to be sure it operates as you expected from your understanding. Your image files are not in the LR catalog. The catalog *references* your image files wherever you happen to put them in the file system. So let's say you have a LR catalog on your home drive and you import a bunch of files on an external drive "in place".. that is, without copying or moving them. The LR catalog now knows about those files and let's you work on them, with them, but *the files themselves have not moved and by working with them, they themselves are not changed*. All that happens as you work on them is that LR records what you did, adding those instructions to the catalog entry for the images you touched, and updates the previews it uses to display your work in the .LRDATA file in the catalog folder. Presumably, you have a backup system that backs up both the original files on the external drive and the catalog folder to another, separate hard drive. Now, let's consider what happens if/when the external drive containing the imported files breaks and you lose it. You get another new external drive, you go to your backup drive and copy the image files onto it. Then you run LR and, WITHOUT reimporting anything, you right-click on the folder that contains your image files in the Folders panel and choose the command to "update folder location". Once you do that, LR updates all the catalog entries so that it now understands all the new locations where the files are located. You're done, just keep on working. Let's next consider what happens if the opposite occurs—namely, the disk containing the catalog folder breaks. If it's the startup drive, of course you replace it, reinstall the OS, configure your account, and install LR. Then you go to your backup, copy the LR catalog folder that your work is in to the new drive, and open it with LR. Then you do exactly as you did above: WITHOUT reimporting anything, you choose the "update folder location" command and choose the folder on the external drive where your files are located. You're done again, just keep on working. If you reimport things erroneously when trying to recover from a hard drive failure, you get duplicated info in the catalog and it's hard to determine whether the dataset is complete. To clean it up first requires that you think: - knowing the above about how LR works, what exactly did you import? - Where are the image files located? - When you look at the files in LR, are all your modifications in place? - Which of the entries in the Folders panel point to old information that is no longer valid, or no longer points to the actual files Once you have the answers to those questions answered, select the obsolete duplicate information in the LR catalog and delete it.

Re: OT: Digital black & white
I remember the first time I went with my girlfriend to the print room at the Photographers' Gallery here in London flipping through albums of original prints by HCB that we could have had for a couple of hundred pounds each. Of course back then we didn't have anything remotely like £200-. 2 or 3 years ago I was in the Paris Magnum print room and a young couple were flipping through an album of original prints by HCB. When they heard they were from about 2000 euros they blanched in exactly the same way we did 30 years previously.

I shot this with raw+jpeg, but I don't think that would account for it.

Re: OT: Digital black & white
Maybe ten years ago there was a Magnum exhibit that showed up at a gallery here in Toronto. I think the only HCB was ~Sur le Rue Mouffetard~. Can't remember the size but it was by far the most expensive print there at $8,000CDN. Everything else was $2,000 to $4,000. Even at the higher price I thought Henri's was quite reasonable.

Thanks Bruce. I don't mind Tim's that much. It's on par with Country Style, Coffee Tine and the other chains. Not horrible, but mediocre. And sometimes when you need that caffeine jolt, mediocre more than works. At least they're consistent and they're everywhere; they should get points for that.

Deleting folders from Lightroom navigator
A couple weeks ago I moved my photo database to a different drive. When I connected to the drive in Lightroom it wanted to import the photos again. Now I have two folders in Lightroom navigator, only one of which is being used. Now I have the database on still another drive. (The last move for a while.) After importing the database still another time I’d like to delete the other two folders from the navigator. How do I do this?

Re: Deleting folders from Lightroom navigator
In the Library module, right click on the folder, and select Remove. It will tell you that the folder will be removed from Lightroom, but the files will remain on the disk. If you are moving things around outside of Lightroom, don't keep importing them, update the folder locations in Lightroom by right clicking on the folder in the Library module and select Update Folder Location and point it to the new spot. This way all the work you've done on the files will move over and be associated with the files correctly and you won't have duplicate file entries.
