Wondering why I kept getting squawked at as I approached a car in my
driveway, I investigated and found this female Robin (the state bird of
Michigan) secreted in a nearby pine tree. In a week or two there should be
more Robins in Michigan.

Hopefully, more pictures to follow.

Subject: What I've been up to while I was gone

I've been back from Oregon for a couple of days.  When I wasn't in the
process of moving Mom's stuff into her new smaller place in the assisted
living center in Yachats, I did manage to find some time to play with my
camera.

She does seem to be doing better, both physically and mentally, though
not quite back to her previous levels of spryness.

Here's a bunch of my better shots over the past three trips since the
start of February, several are repeats.  It's a bit large, but on the
other hand, there's a whole bunch of intermediate posts I didn't make in
the past two weeks:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157679910495483/

alternatively:

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157679910495483/

If anyone is interested, the collection of all of my Oregon sets is at:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157680004422242/

Or, sometime early next week, I'll post a link to a much smaller set for
my monthly "best of".

All that text can be changed or removed if you like. The only thing

Yes, you can apply the same discount code to everything in your order,

Blub doesn't handle color correction Their workflow is not color
managed. This is why you have to make sure your images are in sRGB
color space (if Blurb were color managed they'd be able to understand
and print any color space).

>5. Check Blurbs cost of print proof. How will that affect us?

They don't officially do proof prints. What you have to do is order
one book then make changes and upload it as a new book. Repeat if
necessary (though I've been doing this for so long I never need to
make any changes after one round of corrections).

Re: PESO - 'A Wild Turkey'

2017-04-28 Thread P. J. Alling

They were reintroduced into Connecticut, IIRC about 20 years ago and 
they're now more common than a lot of species that never disappeared, 
it's kind of weird watching them troop across suburban yards.


They especially seem to love suburban areas with fairly high human 
population densities but still a lot of woods.


The two "acre", (builders, which isn't actually as big as a "real" 
acre), lot left mostly wooded with a cleared area for a house on it, 
makes for good turkey habitat, which also makes for good deer habitat, 
(there's also been an explosion in the deer population here in the last 
15 years).


There's no generally no hunting, and most natural predators are scarce, 
domestic cats and even fairly large dogs are pretty wary of poults when 
protected by a big hen.


So wild turkeys like where people live even if they don't actually like 
people.

Re: PESO - 'A Wild Turkey'

2017-04-28 Thread P. J. Alling

It's mating season and the toms are particularly stupid because of it.  
A few years ago a big tom decided to challenge my car when I was driving 
to work, I lived on a small side road and his wingspan seemed to cover 
most of it's entire width.  I could probably have just pushed him out of 
the way, but really all he wanted was to get a little action and who 
could fault him for that.

Re: OT - Universal battery chargers

2017-04-28 Thread Brian Walters

Hi Anthony

Thanks for that detailed information.

My main concern was that these things actually work - I'm not so
concerned about having a queue of batteries waiting.  I'll always have
extra charged batteries available.

Based on your experience, I'll probably order one - maybe not that
brand; there seem to be a number of others.

Thanks again.

Cheers

Brian

It looks great, Mark!
The cover will have to be read in person.. print too small on line for 
me.. looks like a fun read.


Eager to see what isn't in the preview :-)  but the preview is lovely.

the big "wow" for me was Dag Thrane's shot that you also used in the 
calendar...simply wonderful - perhaps jumping out at me because
I had not seen it before at all .. lots of the other shots are among my 
favorites of the various shooters ..

Comments appreciated.

I'm finally getting a workflow together for making focus stacks with the K1
in pixel shift mode:  Make the exposures as raw files, process them in
Silkypix with only basic adjustments to exposure and white balance (about
all that you can do in Silkypix), stack the images in Zerene stacker. Open
the output TIFF's in Photoshop CS6 configured so the tiffs run through Adobe
Camera Raw. ACR allows for fine tuning exposure, shadows, highlights,
saturation, vibrance, and clarity - things that Silkypix can only do crudely
or not at all. And then on to post processing as usual.

it is Mockingbird.:)

Re: PESO -- Little Blue Heron III

2017-04-28 Thread P. J. Alling

Well it was a bit difficult to set a white point.  The K-5II has a 
tendency to under expose with long manual lenses, and the Kalimar Mirror 
Telephoto is by it's very nature fairly low contrast, and so was the 
day, what would be described as cloudy bright conditions, but really not 
so bright.  Punching up the contrast and exposure something had to give 
so I chose the water. There is still some detail visible in the water on 
my monitor, but not much once the image is reduced from full resolution 
to reasonable internet size.  I'm just amazed that a lens that probably 
had a list price of under $100.00 when new resolves as much detail as it 
does.
