Six bird images from the northern part of the Kruger Park. Saddlebill 
Storks are endangered so it was good to see a breeding pair with a chick. 
The Longtailed Glossy Starlings are uncommon & only found in the Pafuri 
area. Oh for a 600mm!

That was very interesting.  I still use shift operators all the time to 
multiply or divide by powers-of-2, although it's probably no faster these days. 
 Many years ago I read that it was, and the habit has stuck.

I liked Philip's photo too.  Fantastic shot and it makes me wonder what

Also love Ann's one.

I wanted to participate but sadly couldn't think of anything interesting.

Re: PESO and Question about colorspace limitations

[Ken Waller]

Specifically, desaturate in the red since the other colors seem ok.

FWIW - I spend time in-camera checking the histogram in RGB specifically to 
avoid this situation.

Maybe desaturate it a bit to bring it back into gamut?  You might even be 
able to do so selectively on the petals, to avoid stuffing up the rest of 
the photo.

What do you do when the destination colorspace does not have the color 
you need?
Let's say you have a photo, you look at the "soft proof" in LR (or in 
PS), and you see that the "center-piece" color is way out of the 
destination gamut. For example, I have the photo of this red flower

http://42graphy.org/misc/Flower_IR32063.jpg
In reality, that red is more toward orange. SRGB color space does not 
have that color. I see how LR is going to change (you can see the 
result), and I can change the color mapping (colorimetric or perceptual), 
but it is still far from the "reality" (or what I think the reality is).


I know that in some cases, especially with soft-proofing for printing, 
adjustments of the curve (often brightening or darkening) can help.
Unfortunately, this portion of the gamut seems to be really far away from 
the SRGB boundary, so small tweaking of highlights and/or shadows, or the 
saturation or luminance of the red channel alone doesn't help.
Is there some trick here that I am missing that could help adjusting the 
colors, or, essentially the best I can do is just leave with the 
conversion LR (or PS) does?

Previously, I had a similar situation with the carrot-type orange.

Any thoughts and suggestions?

Also, - in this case, this conversion of the red makes the top petals 
blend together, and I cannot seem to find the "knob" to enhance the 
separation.


All comments are very welcome!

Re: Need help choosing 3 photos (GESO of a sort)

[Ken Waller]

It's the third one for me - more even dispersal of the buds.

The second image isn't helped by the top edge having tree trunks included in 
the LH corner.


The third image has a more or less blank foreground missing the even 
dispersal of floweres in the rest of the image.

Hi All!

I am trying to understand preferences of different people.
Here are three different shots of flowers:

I would appreciate if you can tell me which of these three work or do not 
work for you. And, it would be especially valuable if you can say why.



Many thanks in advance!

Subject: PESO Michelle

You may remember the photo set I did a while back of the music video
with people dressed up as super heroes. Michelle wanted some photos that
were a bit more conventional portraits to use on the album cover, and we
did a studio shoot in my backyard yesterday.

This was one of the best, taken very close to the end of a long day.
Unusual for the set in that I didn't light the backdrop with a gelled
strobe.  K-3 II with the FA 77 at f/4.5

https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/25965541630/in/album-7215762839521/

The full set is here:
http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/7215762839521/

Many thanks to Nicole who did the hardest job, in that while Michelle
and I were shooting, she made a couple passes through the photos and
narrowed them down to a manageable number for me to go through.

Larry lots of really nice takes here- I lean toward the natural light

Since you have so many gems, I would strongly suggest dropping a couple
that standout to me as not up to your standards -
they look like typical photo store portraits - the ones where she is
wearing the dark jacket and the lavender topand are not tight closeups
especially 30522 - .


Thanks for the feedback.  The ultimate goal of this shoot was a cover 
for her next album.  I tried to get a variety of styles to give her more 
to choose from.




I'm with Rick on 1 and 4 especially... It is hard to highlight which
ones I like on flicker because I can't cut and paste the numbers
and I can't remember what they are...

If she sings half as good as she looks she should be making a
comfortable income :-)


She is really quite a marvelous and sweet woman.

If you are curious about her music:
http://michellechappel.com/music/

For what it's worth, the cover of "shake it up" is one that I took at 
Don Quixote's in Felton several years ago.  There are many, many 
technical problems with that photo, but she really liked it.


A couple of her songs have actually done quite well in Australia.

Having dealt with Kaspersky professionally (I helped integrate their
OEM stuff into my former company's security products, and I dealt with
Mr Kaspersky himself), I would recommend that _very_ highly. Super
responsive to changing threats and less intrusive than many products.

Divide by zero error. There's no such thing as "photographic commonsense".

Anyway you don't pick lenses using math. You take them out on dates to
see if you're compatible. It's more an emo thing.

Re: PESO Michelle

[ann sanfedele]

Larry lots of really nice takes here- I lean toward the natural light 
ones... of the ones with a backdrop, I think all
the unlit background ones are better than most all of the others against 
a lit background... so nice to have someone

so comfortable in front of your camera and sparkling with personality..

Since you have so many gems, I would strongly suggest dropping a couple 
that standout to me as not up to your standards -
they look like typical photo store portraits  - the ones where she is 
wearing the dark jacket and the lavender topand are not tight closeups

especially 30522 - .

I'm with Rick on 1 and 4 especially...  It is hard to highlight which 
ones I like on flicker because I can't cut and paste the numbers

and I can't remember what they are...

If she sings half as good as she looks she should be making a 
comfortable income :-)

Re: How to fly with a tripod

[Ken Waller]

Darren, I've flown alot with my tripods (all Gitzos & big enough to handle a 
600mm lens) & have either carried them onboard & stored in the overhead or 
shipped them with my clothes in a suitable bag (I've used duffle bags on 
occasion). Heads attached either way.

No this isn't an April Fools post on how to accomplish the Wright
Brother's achievement, using nothing but a tripod; It is a request for
information on the best way to transport a tripod via commercial
airlines.

I should have thought about this long before now, but... I've got a
"normal" Manfrotto (good sized) tripod. I'm going to take the 3-way
head with. I've got the Manfrotto soft (zippered) case for it. Is that
good enough to trust to the gorillas that throw baggage around? I can
pack with some bubble wrap in there, if that will help.

Alternative suggestions? Thanks in advance.

PS... I plan on carrying-on a backpack with camera video gear that is
going with. My clothes suitcase can be checked-in.

Sorry Stan. You are a nice guy but, in this case, you are being very very 
naive.


I take your denial as a challenge. Google-Fu is my superpower.
:)

The poster you are referring to goes by "zackiedawg" on 
boards.cruisecritic.com

His join date was Sept 2004 and he has 2195 post there. If ThIS post
is any indication, one may find out more about his personal life by
registering for the site, clicking on his username and selecting "Find
all posts by zackiedawg". One doesn't even have to do that to find out
that his location is Boca Raton, FL. You see, we have a tendency to
use the same username across multiple web sites, so simply Googling
"zackiedawg" will give you his member page at dpreview (and with a
membership you can find his posting history there where you could
glean much more about him, I'm sure). If he's lying about his
location,  then he's also lying about it on cameralabs.com, and
vwvortex.com (which he last visited today at 3:57 PM. (He has 3317
posts there and drives a 2015 Audi Allroad.) His pbase page gives us
his actual name.

Fortunately for him, his name is sort of generic so you can't just
plug in his name and find his address (for free anyway). There are
sites where you could buy a membership and get full reports on anybody
you want - so a professional criminal could easily get full reports on
all of them. Whoever had a 2015 Audi Allroad registered to him would
be the dead giveaway.

Each site to which someone registers has a Profile page and each
profile page can contain additional clues of identity. His VWVortex
page says that he is in the Financial/Insurance career. So you google
his name, city and "Insurance" for example, and you find his work
email and position (which I did). His office is about 15 miles from
Boca Raton. His work contact page tells us that he went to Tulane
University. But really the only thing you need to nail down an
identity from a range of people with the same name in the same town is
a middle initial or an age. Whitepages.com will often give you an
exact address and even a Google map with a pin for your address.

In addition, any of those message boards are potentially places for
social engineering to take place. All one would have to do is engage
in some forum back-and-forth or a private message to find out whatever
small piece of information you need to pin down an exact identity (how
old they are or what their middle name is, for example). Once you know
where somebody works it is a short hop to knowing when they will be at
work (not at home), whether they are married, have kids, etc. All
figuring out a good time to break into the house.

In general I might agree Larry, Darren. However, the person whose list I

point had a side conversation and shared his email address in the open 
blog, and even then it might be a burner special purpose email.


As a practical issue, my biggest knock on the listing I shared is that it 
is not very helpful; too detailed, just a data dump, inadequately 
formatted, no summarization. If I were looking for someone to advise on a 
particular camera/lens combo within that community, I would post a note 
saying “does anybody have any experience with xx/yy camera/lens combo?" 
Even if I do a Search within the blog and happen to get a hit on this guy’s 
note, there is no real information there and I still need to post my 
question. (There is no way to do a message directed to an individual. 
Unlike here in the PDML where it is possible to see the sender’s email

B has been really good about sending a "not in stock" notice at the
beginning of every month since I ordered. Just to make clear that they
haven't forgotten about me and that my order is still in place.

bits
anywhere in the number and handling all of them in two addition steps. To take a
very simple example, if it found a string of four '1' bits somewhere in the

('', in binary, represents the number 15) it would, instead, treat this as 
if
it were "16 - 1"; the "-1" is handled by adding the negative value of the number
being multiplied, and the 16 is handled a little later on by one further 
addition.
(16 is a power of two, so only has a single '1' bit in its binary 
representation)

The actual implementation is rather clever, and is again designed for the 
hardware
of the day (where fast register storage was the most expensive part of a 
computer);
it uses the same shift register to hold the multiplier and the eventual product,
can produce a double-length product using ony a single-length adder, and only 
has
to look at the two low-order bits of the shift register to decide whether to add
the positive or negative representation of the multiplicand, or to do nothing.
(If you want even more details, there's a fairly good Wikipedia article).

PESO Michelle

[Larry Colen]

You may remember the photo set I did a while back of the music video 
with people dressed up as super heroes. Michelle wanted some photos that 
were a bit more conventional portraits to use on the album cover, and we 
did a studio shoot in my backyard yesterday.


This was one of the best, taken very close to the end of a long day. 
Unusual for the set in that I didn't light the backdrop with a gelled 
strobe.  K-3 II with the FA 77 at f/4.5


https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/25965541630/in/album-7215762839521/

The full set is here:
http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/7215762839521/

Many thanks to Nicole who did the hardest job, in that while Michelle 
and I were shooting, she made a couple passes through the photos and 
narrowed them down to a manageable number for me to go through.

Re: OT: Floppy Brummy

[Stanley Halpin]

Thanks Bob. Disclosure: I am not a computer people. But that didn’t stop me 
from messing around with them.
Thus I did find this quiet interesting. In particular I was struck by how much 
I took for granted over the years. As an undergrad, early 60s, I did odd-job 
data analyses for one of my professors. Using Marchant electronic calculators 
to do additions and cross-products needed for calculating correlation 
coefficients. I had no idea I was on the cutting edge! I used old-tech IBM 1401 
Accounting Machines which I programmed by moving jumper cables around on a 
15-20 pound board that fit into the rack on the end of the machine. Moved on to 
Job Control Language running early versions of BioMed stat programs on the 
IMB760. Had no clue that I was using one of the early models of that machine! 
On to grad school, used the second-ever-built CDC 6500 to process my data while 
colleagues were running their lab equipment via PDP-8 computers. (IIRC, the 
Apollo 11 onboard computer was comparable to the PDP-8.) And then the IBM 360 
(IIRC) whose boot-up required 2 boxes of cards to initiate/install the OS, then 
another 2-3 boxes of cards to install the language (FORTRAN or LISP) before we 
could load programs. Convincing my committee and then the department head and 
the dean that it was appropriate to substitute FORTRAN for one of my two 
required foreign language requirements. My early work environment, reading 
octal coredumps from our CDC 3500 to debug programs designed to capture user 
input timing...

I won’t go on in detail but suffice it to say that your linked story took me on 
a trip down memory lane. Byte magazine articles debating the relative merits of 
MS-DOS vs. the other 1-2 popular OS on the market for 8086 machines. Graphic 
terminals. Smart terminals. PC’s. Osborn laptop. Compaq computers. Color dot 
matrix printers for which I had to write the print driver. Word Star. Word 
Perfect.  A friend at DARPA explaining the “desktop metaphor” graphic interface 
work he was supporting at XEROX-PARC.  LISP Machines. Sun Workstations. More 
PC’s. and finally, the light at the end of the tunnel: Macs! Hypertext. DARpa 
Net and the 3-week wait to be approved as a user and be assigned a name. 
USEnet. 256kb modems… We have lived in interesting times.

Re: PESO: Mummers

Well, when they're struttin' down Broad St. on New Year's day, they're
just as lavishly dressed, but... umm.. not ~quite~ as sober.

Re: April PUG - Now Up!

[Alan C]

Thanks, Henk. Now why couldn't I think of an imaginative title like that?

My favourite is Philips's "On Different Tacks" with Port trumping Starboard. 
If youv'e ever been in a tacking duel, you'll know what I mean.

PESO: Bananas!

[Daniel J. Matyola]

A plant outside or resort office in Maui:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18212840
K-5 IIs, FA 100mm Macro F2.8
Comments are invited.

These are the native "apple bananas,"  Apple bananas are shorter and
plumper than regular bananas, with a thicker peel. The  flesh is firm
and creamy. The flavor and aroma are more intense, with hints of apple
or even pineapple and strawberry as it ripens more.  They are widely
available on Maui, and generally picked when just ripe, making them
much tastier and satisfying than bananas picked when green and hard in
the Caribbean.

Re: April PUG - Now Up!

[ann sanfedele]

Well I actually like yours best , Brian, from a totally nice shot point 
of viewthat works with the theme too... but Pat and Ken's forks 
delighted... Ken, Iwas gonna do essentially what you didwith a map and a 
fork but was too consumed with other stuff...


Love that both Paul and Pat were able to find such super appropriate 
shots in their files - (um maybe Paul just walked down the street 
recently for his.)

Pat's works on mutiple levels for me.. nice geometry :-)

Dan promoted "thinking _outside_ the box" but his photo was just the 
opposite on a certain low level for those with naughty minds ;-)


I guess just Illustrating an expression, as opposed to just this one, 
may not workbecause of cross-cultural variationsthat would be missed unless

it was in your knowledge base...

Thanks for looking, Bipin and Bob.

Out little town's parade is quite an event.  There are six bagpipe and

Re: April PUG - Now Up!

My favorite is Henk's, for the way it interprets the theme and also
because of its visual power.  I also like Ann's but I can't really
explain why;  I just like it.  perhaps it is my distaste for stop

Re: April PUG - no time to waste

I might be able to find something for "Golden Hour".

Everything I thought of for "Fork in the road" just seemed stupid,
clichéd or banal, if not all three. I couldn't think of anything I
wouldn't be embarrassed to put up.

Ignorant, brutal, superstitious thugs, every single one of them.

Awesome St. Patrick Day parade photos Sir.
The very colorful dresses makes the event more photogenic.

I remember St. Patrick's Day was very special in our Boarding Public
School run by the Christian Brothers of Ireland.
There would be feasting throughout the day, with our own parades,
movies & late night swimming with hot chocolate.
