Welcome Dale,

I don’t know if you’ve spent time on other online photo discussion fora, the 
good news is that PDML seems to be one of the most technically clueful groups 
of photographers in an on line forum. The bad news is, that the other ones are 
even worse.

If you ask for either technical or artistic advice, you will get some 
excellent, well informed answers. You’ll also get a lot of pure, impure and 
tainted bollocks for advice. And puns, you’ll get those also. 

You’ve undoubtedly seen comments about the annual, do pick up a copy. The first 
one came out shortly after I joined the list and my copy was an excellent 
lesson in the art of humility.

Mark, there are generally two cases. One is to increase the contrast between 
the stone and the (usually green) background - orange or red to give a light 
colored stone a darker background, cyan or green to give a dark colored stone a 
lighter background. The other is to minimize the appearance of mold, algae or 
lichen on the stone. I've already picked the small graveyard where I will first 
practice. Most of the stones there have patches of an orange lichen on them, so 
I will try shooting in B through #16 and #21 filters.

What I have in hand is either old Kodacolor prints or snaps with my old 3.3 
megapixel Cybershot - nothing to write home about. My gravestone photography 
has been in New England where I grew up (I have lived in Virginia  for the last 
30+ years). I don't get back to New England but once every five years or so, 
but there are stones in the oldest local cemeteries here in southwest VA that 
will present significant challenges. Since I joined the Association for 
Gravestone Studies I have learned a lot about quality gravestone photography. I 
expect to make the first practice expedition later this month, and will share 
some results on my web site with links here.

Paul, I feel the same, I had a darkroom for about 10 years in high school and 
college, enjoyed it then, likely would not enjoy it now.

I do still use Kodak Photo-Flo 200, but not in a darkroom. Cleaning of 
gravestones should only be done 1) by someone who know what they are doing, and 
2) using nothing stronger than a non-ionic cleaner such as Photo-Flo.

It will take a while to get up to speed, but the first photos that I share will 
undoubtedly be of gravestones. I am rigging up a 4' boom for my #2 tripod (an 
early Hollywood that is about 70 years old) to position the speedlight so that 
it rakes the face of the stone at about a 25 degree angle but is out of the 
cropped area of the shot.

Welcome to the group, Dale.

My father was a history nut.  His passion was visiting old and threatened
cemeteries and documenting the material on the gravestones.  The records
were to the County Historical society, for genealogical and other
research.  I did a lot of rubbing of gravestones as a boy.

Re: New Member

Welcome to the group.

My wife is deep into genealogy and we've been going on genealogical 
vacations over the past few years - traipsing through small towns and 
cemeteries in New England and the midwest. They are fun trips. I shoot 
film and digital and usually use B film in cemeteries - Tri-X pushed 
to 1600 is a favorite.  I don't document info but focus on the graphics 
in the stones themselves. Digital infrared and color (especially in the 
fall) also come into play.


I'd be very interested in hearing how you use colored filters on the K70 
for digital B

I noticed the light fall-off even in my quick test shots. But that's
pretty easily corrected in software now (and goes away when stopping
down). The barrel distortion at 28mm is also noticeable but can be
corrected easily now. The only other WR lens I have is my faithful
16-50/2.8 for APS-C.

Ain't that the truth?

My main camera bag is a Domke F1, procured at a fantastic discount
when the camera shop I worked at in Pittsburgh went out of business.

I have a separate bag for my medium format kit.

And a small sling bag for use when I'm traveling by bicycle.

And a Lowepro backpack for transporting serious amounts of kit.

And a small waist pack for hiking.

Plus two other bags of intermediate size.

My go-to camera bag for travel is actually a freebie messenger bag I
got at a conference a few years ago. It holds a thin laptop (or a
tablet) and a body plus a couple of lenses. It doesn't look like a
camera bag. It doesn't look "touristy". And it's held closed by two
quick-release buckles plus two Velcro strips, so it's a tricky target
for pickpockets. It's falling to bits but it's probably my most used
option in cities.

I've been very pleased with the DFA 28-105. It's sharp at all focal

24-70. Aside from it being slow the only quibble I have is the light

I received my new DFA 28-105 today, getting my first weather-sealed
full-frame lens in preparation for my upcoming adventure in Yorkshire,
Durham and Northumberland. I haven't given it a proper tryout yet -
just a few quick test shots to insure it doesn't suffer from any major
alignment/decentering issues. But I have to say the build quality
seems impressive for such a budget (by FF standards) lens. Focusing is
fast and virtually silent. And though I'd certainly like a faster lens
(f/5.6 at 105mm is a tad disappointing) the benefit in terms of size
is remarkable. It's surprisingly compact.

I hope to get in a few test photos tomorrow (not that the semester is
over).

A constant-aperture f/4.0 would be nice, but the penalty in size,
weight and price would probably be considerable.

 Couldn’t get a completely clear shot of him perching, so I shot him on the 
 feeder as well. Rarely seen around here but they do breed in Michigan. May 
 still have been migrating to an area north of here.

DFA 28-105 - first impressions

[Mark Roberts]

I received my new DFA 28-105 today, getting my first weather-sealed
full-frame lens in preparation for my upcoming adventure in Yorkshire,
Durham and Northumberland. I haven't given it a proper tryout yet -
just a few quick test shots to insure it doesn't suffer from any major
alignment/decentering issues. But I have to say the build quality
seems impressive for such a budget (by FF standards) lens. Focusing is
fast and virtually silent. And though I'd certainly like a faster lens
(f/5.6 at 105mm is a tad disappointing) the benefit in terms of size
is remarkable. It's surprisingly compact.

I hope to get in a few test photos tomorrow (not that the semester is
over).

Yes, clarity counts. I sent them to Audubon. I’m sure they have better photos, 
but they’re very interested in “where and when,” particularly at migration time.

I used SLRs for years (most recently a Pentax K-1000). but switched to a digital 
camera (a Sony Cybershot) about 15 years ago for convenience. With retirement I 
decided to upgrade, and recently bought a Pentax K-70 with a DA 18-270mm as my 
walking-around lens. I am still mastering the amazing array of settings but am 
making progress. I am using a variety of colored B filters for gravestones, 
because 1) I am on old guy who was used to doing that with film, and 2) although I 
have done a fair amount of image post-production over the years I would rather get 
the correct image in-camera than fix it in post.


All this is fine, but what is your favorite Scotch?

Their range doesn’t extend to the west. I’m summer they are most common in 
CNada. In winter, Central America. They breed through much of the north central

A slightly better perching shot. I don’t like feeder shots either, but I won’t 
pass one up if it’s a bird I haven’t seen here before. I did get a shot of one 
of those at Point Pele 13 years ago but haven’t seen one since then.

Love him.. hope he affords you more chances.. I know him well from 
upstate NY -- Ulster County - frequent visitors (at least back in the 
70's) to

friend's feeder. Never got a clear shotback then -

Nice shots, a pair, though I wish there was not quite so much space 
above the birdie's head at the feeder..

A field guide shot.

Hi Dale,
Welcome to the PDML. I’m a 70-year-old codger who worked with filters and a 
darkroom for more than 30 years. They’d have to hog tie me and beat me to go 
back to that now. Rendering BW during RAW conversion allows control of every 
color. Lot’s of fun too. Speaking of fun, we have a heck of a good time here. 
Once in a while we even talk about photography!

Welcome, ditto what Alan said :-)  Your'e just a kidif you are in your 
50's :-)


I always shot with colored filters when I was still attached at the hip 
to my LX and KX bodies when shooting BW.  Now I've gotten used to
shooting raw+jpg and switching to BW in Photoshop elements ... 
converting to BW in post is pretty satisfying...


WHen I first switched to digital I -did- shoot bw in camera (I have a 
K-5 now but started with ist D.) butfound it much easier to not switch 
in camera
between color and BW after finding I had taken shots in BW that I meant 
to shoot in color - so shooting in color and not switching settings in the

field was safer..

Look forward to seeing some of your work

Best,

Re: May PUG - On the Streets - is Up

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I think this is a strong gallery, with many interesting and enjoyable
images.

My favorite is "Spectatin'" by Paul Stenquist.  It has pleasing colors and
a strong composition that draws the eye into the scene.  There is an
incredible amount of interesting details.  I think that the people in the
foreground, especially the women and the girl in and in front of the
pickup, really elevate it from a beautiful scene to a compelling
documentary photograph.

I also particularly admire Follow the Yellow Marking by Henk Terhell,
Pilgrims by Jostein Øksne, and Country Hangout by Jan van Wijk.

May PUG - On the Streets - is Up

[Brian Walters]

G'day all,

A late rush of submissions made this one of our larger recent galleries - and a
very nice one it is.

View here:

http://pug.komkon.org/

(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery there).

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not
infallible. So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the gallery,
let me know.

+

Next up: 'Songlines'.  The idea here is to illustrate a favourite song.  If you
know of a Youtube or other video of the song, mention it as well.  We last did
this in June 2012 so take a look there if you want to see how the idea works:
http://pug.komkon.org/12jun/index.html

Re: PESO: Sweet Gum

[Igor PDML-StR]

I've been puzzled by the reference to the Lego Brick.
I assume, it is as painful to step on (especially barefoot in the dark).
Is that right?

That's a fun photo.
I actually have an "antipode" of it:

Or is it an antonym? Or anti-something-else?
:-)
