I want Leica to sell me their full range of lenses and two or three M10s for a 
penny each. They would earn my undying loyalty.

Re: photo editor on android phone - question

[Bob W-PDML]

There apps where you can tell them what you're photographing, and they will 
expose and adjust accordingly.

For example, I use Microsoft's Office Lens, which is free with my hotmail 
accont/ subscription, on iPad and iPhone .

You can tell it you're photographing a document and it exposes for white paper. 
It also puts a frame around what it thinks is the document, whoch you can 
adjust, and when you take the snap it adjusts the geometry to produce a flat 
image with the correct right angles.

It doesn't produce museum-grade reproductions of course, but there may be 
something out there that does the same thing to the appropriate level of 
quality. But if your friend has a MS account he could at least try Office Lens.

My Spyder 5 works great. So did my Spyder 2 and Spyder 4. All did an excellent

Re: OT: Panoramic photography awards

[John]

Looks real to me.

I've seen a complete circular (360°) rainbow before [from an airplane window], 
so I have no problem with a 180° rainbow ... other than jealousy that he 
captured one & I never have.

My first reaction that it is a lens-produced halo overlaid over the image.
I've never seen rainbows exceeding 180 degrees, but then I've never seen them in

The way it looks (uninterrupted even over the clouds) seems to be unusual

And the fact that the perfect circle didn't get distorted during stitching (if

But maybe the guy is good at panorama processing.

I just read that this shot received the Epson "digital art" prize that is
aimed at 'rewarding excellence in modern digital post-processing'.
Did that refer just to the colors, or to the "rainbow" as well?

I am curious what other PDMLers think about this rainbow? Natural or 
Photoshopped?

Rainbows are circular (they form a 42-degree circle around the
anti-solar point). If you're not used to seeing them that way, I think
it's for two reasons: The projection used by rectilinear lenses
distorts the circular shape if the rainbow is off-center, and quite
often most of the rainbow is below the horizon, so we only see the top
portion, which I think fools the eye into thinking it's more like a
parabola or other shape.

Panorama stitching software usually has a number of options for the
projection, and I assume at least some of them preserve the true
circular shape.

You can see more than 180 degrees of a rainbow if you are up high and
have rainy air below you. Pictures of >180 degree rainbows taken from
aircraft are fairly common; see, for example:
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140930.html

Moonbows at night are circular. Nothing wrong in theory with a circular rainbow

Their definition of a panoramic photo is a joke: any old snap cropped to 
a ratio of 2:1 or more. Sorry, but not in my book.
