Peso-Golden November

2016-11-03 Thread Jack Davis

Another from yesterdays fall color drive.
Had I a hint as to the species, I would have included it in the title.
Was frustrating trying to post some leaf detail in this uncropped image.
Parked on the shoulder of the road, where I really didn't have room, crossed 
the road
and took a quick hand held snap. Too close for even an attempt at sufficient 
dof.

I suppose I could come up with more excuses, but:)

When you have an uninteresting sky - one without detail - and there is much
to be seen in the rest of the image, I suppose the question is how much does
that sky add to the image, and if little, how much is worth retaining? Is
the image improved with  some of the sky being removed, or could it have
gone the whole way with the full removal? At the end of the day, as the
photographer, how do you want us to see the scene?

I'm now going to sidestep this by saying I love the clouds in the picture
from a different viewpoint!

That's what I did in my example the filter used was red. I've played 
with it a bit more, and a virtual green filter maintains the tones of 
the original in B&W better, and a virtual dark orange filter is a better 
compromise. Maintains more detail in the shadows, while not darkening 
the sky quite as much.  I'd post that one but I've already messed quite 
enough with Dan's image without actual permission.

Great image - are 'phone cameras taking over? I rarely see a DSLR used when
I'm out.

Malcolm




Phone cameras have pretty much displaced Bridge Cameras and P&S 
cameras.  I've even seen 8" tablets being used because the user thought 
the big display thought it equaled "quality".


However when I was at Gillette's Castle a couple of days ago I saw a 
couple of other DSLRs one looked like a D300, the other was too far away 
to identify, but looked to be about the same size as a 70/80D or D90.


There weren't that many people there, but everyone else who probably 
would have been using a P&S or Bridge a few years ago were taking 
pictures with their phones.


Also given that most bridge cameras are designed to mimic DSLRs, thats 
probably why you don't see a lot of DSLRs these days, you may not have 
been seeing a lot of DSLRs before.

That window is hideously inappropriate. How did anyone a) want to do that, and

It's a superb album. Looks like an interesting place, but I expect tourism has

Mystery solved... The scanner is to blame for the clipping on both 
sides... if I removed the slide from the holder and used the film strip 
carrier O could solve it.. also, I could replace the color with a scan 
of the BW print.. it bothers me, but not enough to solve it right now..

Re: Chicago PDML meetup

2016-11-03 Thread Bob Sullivan
John,
After a 108 year drought, the Chicago Cubs baseball team won the world
series last night (early this AM, actually).
They just announced the parade for the winners will be Friday...
You and 500,000+ Cubs baseball team fans will be in the city center to
cheer the winners.
We might need to make some arrangements.
Regards,  Bob S.

Tips for Fans
Here are some tips for the fans who want to attend the Chicago Cubs
championship parade:
this is the first time in over one century that there will be a parade, so
if you haven’t already,
expect a mammoth crowd out there. People will most likely camp overnight to
get a good spot,
so get there as early as you can. It’s likely to be a sunny day, but
slightly chilly, so wear
whatever you are comfortable in, but bring a jacket just in case.

There weren't that many people there, but everyone else who probably would
have been using a P&S or Bridge a few years ago were taking pictures with
their phones.

Also given that most bridge cameras are designed to mimic DSLRs, thats
probably why you don't see a lot of DSLRs these days, you may not have been
seeing a lot of DSLRs before.

I've seen a few Bridge cameras - heck - I was given one as a present a while
back, and it does have certain uses. I even have a mobile phone with a
*fairly* decent camera, which gets occasional use, but I rarely leave the
house without a DSLR. I'm in the minority now. I appreciate there are many
options now, but for now and especially with a K1, a DSLR suits me fine for
everyday use.

Can the black ink sets be purchased separately?

Pigment inks are generally considered archival. Are dye inks?  (I
guess that's Paul's question rephrased.)

AF film lenses on DSLR

2016-11-03 Thread Collin B
At work I got the FA50/2.8 macro to have something AF for working in the
darker warehouse area.
But what I've seen, and it's not just a Pentax situation, when using it with
the florescent lights for piece shots I get this blue dot in the middle of
the image.  Have yet to work with light placement to see if I can eliminate
it. But from what I've been reading it has to do with multiple factors, one
of which is the nature of the film coatings and the light
interactions/reflections with the sensor surface.
I only see the situation under the fl product lights.
Anyone else here have similar issues when product shooting?  If so, how did
you resolve the situation?

Re: Canon Pixma Pro 100

Yes sorry for the delay in response. Canon has been using dye inks for some
time and claim 100 years of archival life. They think the real number is
closer to 300 years. I imagine you will be dead long before they start to
fade. You can purchase individual ink carts at 16.99 I think. USD. I've
used the older 9500 mk2 quite a bit and I think the colors are way better
off of this printer.

Re: Canon Pixma Pro 100

2016-11-03 Thread Zos Xavius
I could be wrong but they might have just the black inks together as a
discount Bruce. If you buy one of these new look for a deal that includes
an extra set of ink. It does come with a full set in the box despite the
tanks being labelled setup. The initial ink charge didn't seem to use any
ink so they must have a little extra in them.

it was an overall smaller image.

Re: PESO Stepping stones

2016-11-03 Thread Ken Waller
Yes that crop is what I was thinking about when I suggested it. The original 
image can stand by itself but by eliminating that part of the sky that is 
featureless you've improved the image IMO. You have to ask what does a 
featureless sky add ?


BTW the sky shows more features in the original than I recall.

When you have an uninteresting sky - one without detail - and there is 
much
to be seen in the rest of the image, I suppose the question is how much 
does

that sky add to the image, and if little, how much is worth retaining? Is
the image improved with  some of the sky being removed, or could it have
gone the whole way with the full removal? At the end of the day, as the
photographer, how do you want us to see the scene?

I'm now going to sidestep this by saying I love the clouds in the picture
from a different viewpoint!

Re: AF film lenses on DSLR

2016-11-03 Thread P.J. Alling
I think that blue dot is the reflection of light off the sensor being 
reflected back by the rear element of the lens.  I don't think any light 
placement can eliminate it. The sensor surface is a lot shinier than 
film is.  Some great lenses cannot be used because of it.

At work I got the FA50/2.8 macro to have something AF for working in the

But what I've seen, and it's not just a Pentax situation, when using it with
the florescent lights for piece shots I get this blue dot in the middle of
the image.  Have yet to work with light placement to see if I can eliminate
it. But from what I've been reading it has to do with multiple factors, one
of which is the nature of the film coatings and the light
interactions/reflections with the sensor surface.
I only see the situation under the fl product lights.
Anyone else here have similar issues when product shooting?  If so, how did
you resolve the situation?

Ah, thanks, Zos.

So would you say that maintenance is low as long as you just leave it

futz with them more often than is worthwhile if you don't print
constantly. I suspect I'd only print a small number every couple of

PESOs: Phone vs. Camera

2016-11-03 Thread Paul Stenquist
Well, sort of phone vs. camera.  But this is by no means a controlled 
experiment. When walking to work this morning (I go out the front door, walk a 
mile, go back in the front door, and open my office) I came up on some nice 
fall color in good light. I shot it with my phone and tweaked it quite a bit in 
photoshop before posting it on Facebook. Ann quite correctly said I should 
shoot some fall color with a real camera, so I did just that this afternoon. 
Unfortunately, the good light was gone but I did get a bit of hay bright. I 
also shot with a much longer foal length to compress the scene. 

Here’s the iPhone 6 Plus pic, photoshopped and cropped just a bit:

Re: Canon Pixma Pro 100

2016-11-03 Thread Zos Xavius
I think it self cleans maybe once or twice a week. It doesn't seem to
use hardly any ink for self cleanings. I know for experience with the
9500 that if you initiate a purge it goes through a lot more ink than
a self clean. I've only had on turned on for a week now and I've
noticed one self clean after a print I made yesterday. Though it might
have done so when I was sleeping or not at home as well. I'll let you
know how this thing works out long term. From what I have read from
other users it doesn't seem to use hardly any ink during self
cleanings over a period of time. I would definitely recommend just
leaving it on and letting the printer maintain itself.

 is a lot better than what they present. I don't really know what
 settings they were using, but when you run your images through their
 plugin it seems to do a very good job with color using the stock
 profiles. The black and white I printed on canon paper seemed fairly
 neutral when I looked at it in direct sunlight. I actually print
 things for a living and have used large format canons for some time
 and always highly recommend them. I would do the same for this
 printer. Just know that ink costs are up on this model but a full set
 is only $109 for 8 carts. Not bad really. Individuals are $16.99 I
 think, up from the $13 the older ones were. You can probably get about
 30-40 13x19s before you start swapping ink carts and of course your
 mileage may vary. Obviously B&W prints will kill the three black carts
 pretty fast. One full size print didn't dent the first cartridge set,
 but a black and white definitely moved the on screen indicators a bit.
 I prints up to 13x19 which is pretty decent really. I love 11x17 so
 this is perfect for a lot of things. Borderless 13x19 looks fantastic
 though you do give up some image along the sides. You can buy 13x19
 frames too. It also prints CDs which is interesting.

 If you are considering a printer I would definitely look at this. It
 has pretty much all the features and quality that the Pixma Pro 1 had
 and that cost $1000 new. The heads are easily replaceable on this
 printer as well. I think the epsons are still not user serviceable.
 One advantage that the smaller epsons have is that they print rolls as
 well. I think up to 20" wide right? so that gives the ability to print
 a bit bigger. Still I'm very happy with this and this is a lot nicer
 than the old 9500 mark 2 I used to use. Much better print quality with
 much more accurate color. If you are someone that can sell a lot of
 small prints this is a good printer to have around. I'm really hoping
 that they move to adding RGB colors like their larger printers have
 eventually. That would give them a huge color gamut. Still for 8
 colors this thing does really, really well. Just know that its best to
 leave them on all the time so that they self clean which doesn't use
 much ink in the long run. Otherwise you have to use a lot more ink
 trying to purge and test print.

So would you say that maintenance is low as long as you just leave it

futz with them more often than is worthwhile if you don't print
constantly. I suspect I'd only print a small number every couple of

this is the first time in over one century that there will be a parade, so
if you haven’t already,
expect a mammoth crowd out there. People will most likely camp overnight to

fall color in good light. I shot it with my phone and tweaked it quite a bit in 
photoshop before posting it on Facebook. Ann quite correctly said I should 
shoot some fall color with a real camera, so I did just that this afternoon. 
Unfortunately, the good light was gone but I did get a bit of hay bright. I 
also shot with a much longer foal length to compress the scene. 

Here’s the iPhone 6 Plus pic, photoshopped and cropped just a bit:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18306458&size=lg

Here’s the k-1 and  DA* 60-250 pic, shot at 118 mm, f11 
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18306456&size=lg
++

I like both, but prefer the image made with the K1.

The thing here is how far camera phones have come on *BUT* to get that quality 
reproduced here it's still needed the experience and post production skills of 
an excellent photographer. The average phone camera user is not going to get 
the quality that it is possible to get. 

I am aware that some professionals now use high end phone cameras; the hardware 
for photography is becoming universal - but that said you still have to compose 
an image and process it. That you can't buy.

Re: Canon Pixma Pro 100

2016-11-03 Thread Paul in MKE
Yes, Epson does recommend turning the printer off with the power 
switch.  I've found that in the absence of image printing, if you print 
the nozzle check pattern once a week it keeps the heads from clogging 
while using very little ink.

Ah, thanks, Zos.

So would you say that maintenance is low as long as you just leave it
on? My fear with ink jet technology has always been that you need to
futz with them more often than is worthwhile if you don't print
constantly. I suspect I'd only print a small number every couple of
weeks.

I ended up stealing one of these for $100. They retail for $400
currently. I also snagged 50 sheets of 13x19 canon satin paper in the
mix. I've done a few test prints now and I am very impressed. Unlike
the Epson and older Canon printers this one uses dye ink and man 
is it

vivid. If you want to print stuff that looks like slide film this is
the printer for you. I haven't tried any skin tones yet, so I'll 
maybe

follow up this post when I print a few portraits from it. The review
on imaging resource is looking pretty bad really. I think this 
printer

is a lot better than what they present. I don't really know what
settings they were using, but when you run your images through their
plugin it seems to do a very good job with color using the stock
profiles. The black and white I printed on canon paper seemed fairly
neutral when I looked at it in direct sunlight. I actually print
things for a living and have used large format canons for some time
and always highly recommend them. I would do the same for this
printer. Just know that ink costs are up on this model but a full set
is only $109 for 8 carts. Not bad really. Individuals are $16.99 I
think, up from the $13 the older ones were. You can probably get 
about

30-40 13x19s before you start swapping ink carts and of course your
mileage may vary. Obviously B&W prints will kill the three black 
carts

pretty fast. One full size print didn't dent the first cartridge set,
but a black and white definitely moved the on screen indicators a 
bit.

I prints up to 13x19 which is pretty decent really. I love 11x17 so
this is perfect for a lot of things. Borderless 13x19 looks fantastic
though you do give up some image along the sides. You can buy 13x19
frames too. It also prints CDs which is interesting.

If you are considering a printer I would definitely look at this. It
has pretty much all the features and quality that the Pixma Pro 1 had
and that cost $1000 new. The heads are easily replaceable on this
printer as well. I think the epsons are still not user serviceable.
One advantage that the smaller epsons have is that they print 
rolls as
well. I think up to 20" wide right? so that gives the ability to 
print

a bit bigger. Still I'm very happy with this and this is a lot nicer
than the old 9500 mark 2 I used to use. Much better print quality 
with

much more accurate color. If you are someone that can sell a lot of
small prints this is a good printer to have around. I'm really hoping
that they move to adding RGB colors like their larger printers have
eventually. That would give them a huge color gamut. Still for 8
colors this thing does really, really well. Just know that its 
best to

leave them on all the time so that they self clean which doesn't use
much ink in the long run. Otherwise you have to use a lot more ink
trying to purge and test print.

Re: PESO Stepping stones

2016-11-03 Thread Eric Featherstone
Looking between the cropped/uncropped I think I found the vast bulk of
foreground tree (top-right) to be more of a problem than the sky. It
seemed a little overwhelming, and cropping helps reduce that a bit. I
think I slightly favour the original though. :)

The one with more features in the sky is a third shot I threw in
there, which might have confused.

Thanks for commenting, all useful.

Think tank thoughts?

2016-11-03 Thread Larry Colen
I really like my Lowepro Fastpak 350, however the lenses for the K-1 are 
enough bigger that I can't conveniently carry my "ready for anything" 
kit in it.  The speaker at the photo club last night had a think tank 
bag (streetwalker hard drive), and it looked pretty good.


Since it's possible that y'all enjoy shopping for and talking about 
camera bags even more than lenses, I'm curious about your opinions on a 
larger backpack style camera bag in general, and the think tank bags in 
particular.

Yeah, that's a lot more like what I had in mind.

Rather than just applying premade filters, it might also be possible to 
either tweak the curves of the individual channels, or use the luminance 
sliders for the specific colors in lightroom.


In any case, it's a nice image with a lot of potential. I think that the 
darker sky adds a lot of drama to the photo.

 Hi John:

 I just tried to call you and Jan, but neither phone answered. We have
some challenges for tomorrow—though they could be very fun
challenges. As Bob states below we have a major parade scheduled for
tomorrow. We need to touch base ASAP to make arrangements. Please call
my mobile number I sent you off list ASAP.

 Cubs Win!

 Cheers, Christine

three-quarters on, head turned to the camera, and legs crossed at the
ankles, whereas the other woman is square-on - never a good pose!Well

Re: PESOs: Phone vs. Camera

Shadows seem kind of blocked up in the IPhone photo.

Well, sort of phone vs. camera.  But this is by no means a controlled
experiment. When walking to work this morning (I go out the front
door, walk a mile, go back in the front door, and open my office) I
came up on some nice fall color in good light. I shot it with my
phone and tweaked it quite a bit in photoshop before posting it on
Facebook. Ann quite correctly said I should shoot some fall color
with a real camera, so I did just that this afternoon. Unfortunately,
the good light was gone but I did get a bit of hay bright. I also
shot with a much longer foal length to compress the scene.

Here’s the iPhone 6 Plus pic, photoshopped and cropped just a bit:

Sorry I don't know what make of car it is, I will comment that I had

those cars were long and low to the ground.  They also all look alike to

It's an intriguing image. I half expected the window in the picture
to be a
door, but I presume the walkway continues, the door not even in the same
wall?

It sounds like you've accurately assessed the cause of your
phenomenon. The first thing I'd do about it – the first thing I'd do
even if I weren't having that problem – would be to ditch the
fluorescent lighting. It's the most awful form of lighting you can
use. Not just because of the color balance but because it's not a
continuous spectrum source like incandescent lighting.
