Re: OT Covid-19

[ann sanfedele]

P.S. have to say this - most of the items I have lots  of (the almond 
milk, paper towels and Tp) are things I bought about three weeks ago.. 
on line from either Target or Amazon. In order to get free shipping you 
need to spend $35.  In order for me to afford paper towels and TP, I 
need to buy more than one or two things at once.  Until the store closed 
where I could get Tp for 75 cents a roll and bounty cheap too I wouldn't 
have been pressed to buy more.


Dont be too hard on people who buy a lot of TP though.. unless they are 
young and healthy. There are some in the age group I'm in that have serious
intestinal problems where not having enough TP is a serious issue.   The 
bottled water gathering in excess thing though, that is nuts.

3 months of my prescription meds

enough bread for at least two weeks
chicken filets, raw shrimp, bacon, ham and a little bit of hamburger

Cute!
When my son comes to visit, my dog will jump up on the couch where my son
usually sits.  After an appropriate exchange of greetings, he will get back
down.  He just wants Greg to understand that he could demand and keep the
place of honor, if he chose to.

Re: GESO: Maui Waterfalls

[Ken Waller]

Depending on the number of exposures taken you get images closer to the slow 
shutter effect than the higher speed images. With fewer exposures there is 
still detail in the water with less of the silky smooth water effect obtained 
with the slow shutter process. 
Try it, you might like it. I personally like it as it becomes less of a 
documentary image and a little more artful but still recognizably as what your 
eye actually sees.

Re: GESO: Maui Waterfalls

[Rick Womer]

Dan,

I really like the effect of the faster shutter speeds, especially in the fourth 
one.

I also like the set overall! The people add scale rather than being a 
distraction.

A polarizer might have helped tame the glare from the foliage, especially in 
the later ones.

Cheers,

Rick

IIRC, years ago rental cars were “forbidden” to take that road. Is that still 
true?
I’ve lately tried taken multiple exposures shots of waterfall to get that in

Re: GESO: Maui Waterfalls

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Rental cars are not supposed to take the back road from Hana, but they do.
If you break down on that stretch of road you may have to pay an exorbitant
fee to get someone to rescue you.

You say you have "tried" to get that in-between look;  how did it work out?

Don't know what's happening in the rest of the world but UK supermarkets have 
recently instigated buying quotas:

ASDA
2 hand sanitisers and a 4 pack of toilet roll

TESCO
1 hand sanitiser, 500g of rice and 4 pack of toilet roll

Waitrose
1 lobster, 6 quail's eggs and 100g of Pate de Foie Gras

Aldi
1 MIG welder, 1 pink sports bra, 2 trumpets and 1 wetsuit.



I already have a MIG welder. What I need to get is a new bottle of inert gas.

Costco was out of toilet paper when I was in there on 03 March. I wasn't "panic 
buying" like some people. I usually buy their 30 roll pack and it lasts me 4 or 
5 months.


Last time I bought toilet paper was back in October, so I was about due. 
Fortunately I was able find a similar 30 roll pack at Wegmans, so I should be 
set until late summer.


I'm really liking Wegmans, except they don't carry one or two items I used to 
get at Kroger ... they don't have the BIG jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter or the 
single serving size of Micheal Angelo's frozen Eggplant Parmiagiana or the 
six-packs of Chobani Greek Yogurt with Mango on the bottom.


I did get big boxes of Ritz crackers, Belvita Breakfast Biscuits, ham, turkey, 
cheese & coffee at Costco. And Wegmans did have a really good deal on a two-pack 
of their house brand Peanut Butter in the BIG jars (and it's almost as good as 
Peter Pan).


I'm only a little concerned. I've got good supplies of basic foods. I was 
already stocking up after installing the new cabinets in the kitchen, so I kind 
of anticipated what was going to happen without really realizing it.


But I am 70 years old, Type II diabetic & have high blood pressure. Both 
conditions are well controlled by medication ... not much I can do about my age, 
other than try to keep accumulating it one day at a time.


I'm also a 10 year cancer survivor. Don't know if there are any other tick-boxes 
I haven't hit.


I do have plenty of hand soap and an almost unused bottle of 91% isopropyl 
alcohol I can mix with an Aloe Vera gel (for sunburn) that I already have to 
make my own hand sanitizer if I need to.


I've made arrangements for someone to take care of my dog if I get sick. My 
biggest problem right now is I have Costochondritis (chest wall pain) flared up 
from straining to move those stoves around last week.

Oddly enough, in my local Waitrose early this afternoon there was very little 
fresh produce, no canned goods like beans and tomatoes, no muesli or porridge, 
even the expensive brands, no pasta, no rice (which is what I went in for), no 
toilet paper, no antibacterial wipes (for my hearing aids) even though a virus 
is not a bacterium..., no household cleaning products. And no people. They must 
have all been in for an early morning raid.

My local Co-op on the other hand was overflowing with bounteous wonder (and it 
wasn't labelled 'Waitrose'...

I managed to buy some toilet paper in Waitrose earlier in the week. There were 
three packs left, at the back of the top shelf where only the tall could see 
and reach them. I bought one 4-pack, but couldn't fit it in my saddlebag with 
my work clothes and other stuff, so had to carry it on my back in a musette. Oh 
the shame! of being thought a hoarder... but in fact practically everyone I saw 
on my way home was carrying enormous quantities of toilet paper.

For the benefit of the unBritish, Waitrose is posh and middle class, Co-op is 
down-to-earth working class.

Re: Tres Pesos: Kitchen remodel update

[ann sanfedele]

11 minutes for short grain, long grain or Basmati?   or sushi rice?   
standard white rice (that I no longer eat) I did for 15 minutes then let 
sit on stove awhile.
aa minutes would have been a bit too crisp for standrd americun Carolina 
long grian.


I just use brown basmati rice now... cook it in excess water as if it 
were pasta (The Indian way I've been told) for about 30 minutes .

Re: GESO: Maui Waterfalls

[John]

Have you ever tried stacking short exposures over long exposures to get both 
effects?

I recognize that many, if not most, serious photographers favor long

appealing and artistic.  For some reason, I have always favored short
exposures because those images look more like what my eye sees.  I also
like the patterns and textures falling water reveals when captured in short
exposures.  Different strokes .  .  .  .

In any event, some of these images required that I stand in the middle of a
narrow one-lane bridge, leaving little time to set up, as the Road to Hana
has local traffic as well as quite a few tourist vans and rental cars, some
driven by visitors of questionable ability.

For those not familiar with it, the infamous "Hana Highway" is a 64.4
mile-long (103.6 km) stretch of Hawaii Routes 36 and 360 that connects
Kahului to the town of Hana in east Maui.  Although Hana is only about 52
miles (84 km) from Kahului, an uninterrupted car-trip takes about 2.5 hours
to drive, since the highway is very windy, narrow, and passes over 59
bridges, of which 46 are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620
curves along the Route, almost all of it through lush, tropical rainforest.
Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910. The return trip,
along the "backside of Maui," is like driving over a narrow dirt and gravel
washboard.  It is not really dangerous, but can be somewhat exhausting.  I
hit takes an additional 40 minutes getting to Kahului from where we stay,
and another 40 getting back There is much to see and photograph, and I make
the trip once every 3-5 years.

Our press says it doesn't take much for toilet paper to be bought out.
It's bulky and doesn't generate much profit for the storage and shelf
area it occupies. So, the stores never stock more than strictly
necessary in the normal run of things.

But they assure us that there's still plenty where it comes from.

My neck of the woods has been lucky so far. I think we have a couple of
unconfirmed cases of the virus in Saskatchewan, which most likely means
that while the rest of the world is getting better, we will be getting sick.
No rationing so far, but people are buying stuff like they are preparing
for the zombie apocalypse.

Belgians are raiding the cheap discount stores (Aldi, Lidl, Colruyt) but

four one hour at midday so their staff can re-fill the shelves, Colruyt
staff have been told do so during the night (Belgian shops usually close
at 6 p.m.).

Hand sanitizer hasn't been seen for weeks anywhere. The cheap food house
brands (pasta, wheat flour etc.) have gone but there's plenty of the
branded products. We suspect they're just making people buy the more
expensive stuff.

Everything except pharmacies and food will be closed on weekends until
early April. Bars, pubs, restaurants all closed since midnight, except
chip shops for take-away. It's Belgium after all. :-)

Here in Germany, no special closures in retail or pubs and restaurants.
Less people outside and less traffic.

Re: OT Covid-19

Went shopping today, not panic buying, I have plenty of TP,  and frozen 
meats.


Frozen foods are sold out, meat department empty, toilet paper, paper 
toweling, gone, but plenty of paper napkins(?).


All I needed was some milk, fresh veggies for a couple of days, and a 
prescription at the pharmacy.  Though I did buy some high energy granola 
bars, crackers and canned soup, just in case.


I don't understand why people bought things that could go bad if they 
lost power, and toilet paper, how long do they expect to be without 
toilet paper?

Thanks, Alan. Yes. one is a lot longer than the others, and further away
from my viewpoint,  I didn't have the time to hike in to get a better
shot;  as it is, the "Road to Hana," around the east end of Maui, is an
all-day trip, with limited time for stops and excursions.  I spent some
extra time getting to Lindburgh's grave to leave a miniature Distinguished
Flying Cross medal, which is about all the two of us have in common.

Well if I did have shorts with printing on them it would have to be the

Sadly these days a 40 mil pancake would be more apt.

Re: New member's intro - photographing photographers

Hmmm. When I approach a photograph at the taking stage, sometimes I see 'the 
story' right away, sometimes I see the story about to happen, but sometimes I 
don't see the story at all.

Taking the last category first (as I do tend to do things ass-backwards) not 
seeing 'the story' (or call it what you like) is not  a bad thing. Sometimes I 
*think* I see something, and other times I think that maybe there is something 
there that I can't 'see' now, but might 'see' later. In any event, when later 
looking through the images, I'll know right away by seeing them on the screen 
in front of me. More in a moment about my selection process.

Here's an example of a shot that I simply grabbed as I was walking and had no 
idea if it would work or not. Only when I saw it later, I realised I liked it 
and there was a story there:



When 'sometimes I see the story about to happen' is when the elements of a 
would-be photo are taking shape, and about to happen, but haven't happened yet. 
A classic example would be that you've found a wonderful scenario in front of 
you but it just needs a little something 'extra' to make it work better. Say, 
you find some graffiti on a wall next to a walkway, so it might be better to 
wait for an added element (say, someone walking past) before you push the 
shutter button. But it might not. Pressing the sutter at the right time is 'the 
decisive moment'. Here's my humble offering:



And seeing the story right away is the obvious one. You can see it happening in 
front of you, sometimes looking through the lens, sometimes not. Mostly not. 
What I would define as a 'good photographer' is being aware of what is going on 
around you, being aware of what is likely to happen, and being aware of what 
your own preferences are. The story you want to tell. Don't forget that a 
photograph isn't just a representation of what is going on in front of you and 
your camera, but a representation of your interpretation of the story that is 
going on in front of you and your camera. How you tell that story is how you 
select the lens, how you select the shutter speed and aperture, how you 
position yourself with the light - or indeed if you bring your own light. It's 
your blank canvas to tell that story, to convey that scene, to photographically 
describe what you see and later present it as part of your art.



And finally, just a word on selection. If you take a LOT of pictures (I'm 
naming no names here!!) it can be daunting to look through endless thumbnails 
in search of that keeper. We all do it slightly differently. All I can tell you 
is how I do it.

When I pop the memory card into my computer, I drag across  the folder with the 
images in onto my desktop, and eject the card. Then I open the folder with the 
images and open the images in a basic frontline photo viewer, in my case, on a 
Mac and with 'Preview'. I then go through each image, one by one, and right 
away, if I don't see 'the story' then it's 'cmd' + 'del' instantly. Yes, I 
delete them into the trash there and then. Each pic, as I look at it, right 
away, if it doesn't hit me right away with a 'this pic definitely has something 
to it' or a 'hmm this pic might have something to it, maybe look again at it 
later', if none of those 2 criteria are met, it's trashed. This is because I 
feel comfortable looking at something and getting a gut reaction.

That thins out the crowd by probably 50 percent or so.

Later, I will look again at the rest, and from those I will reverse the trend 
and pic out those I like, those that stand out of the crowd and sing to me. But 
I won't delete the rest, they'll get saved in an archive. Who knows, I might 
change my idea of style, or look again at how I interpret a scene, or at the 
very least give me something to do in those years to come when I am less mobile 
and more likely to sit on my butt all day!

I hope this gives you some insight into another way. There is no right and 
wrong way, there's only your way :-)

But please, do keep posting images - that's what this group is all about.

cheers

Re: GESO: Maui Waterfalls

[Alan C]

Very nice, refreshing scenes, Dan. The one is quite high compared to the 
others. In the Western Cape there are falls something like that - very 
popular for the "sport" of Kloofing. Kloof is the Afrikaans word for a 
ravine so the "sport" is basically jumping from the top of the fall into 
the pool below. No doubt they do something equally as reckless over there?

Rather than discuss the theft and the gone bike, I'd rather focus on the new

world. It's pretty amazing how great these folks are.

As I mentioned in my last note on this topic, Wednesday, March 11, 2020, was 
build day for the new bicycle. My buddy Jake (manager at the local bike shop, 
Summit Bicycles), built the new machine—coming in on his day off to do the job 
for me! Here he is presenting me with the finished build for the first time:

   https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49650740317_682ec6b668_h.jpg

He did a superb job on the build. We spent a little time fussing with seat 
height, bar and control adjustments, etc. Then I walked home and dropped off 
the camera and the other junk I didn't need, I changed, then walked back and 
picked the bike up. I couldn't go straight home … I rode the bike up to 
Cupertino and visited my friends at another bike shop there, Trail Head 
Cyclery. They're the folks who built my custom wheels, and will build the 
wheels for this bike again. From there a nice ride back home and I stopped for 
a first day beauty shot of the bike parked outside the condo.

   https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49649927433_daa3350eed_h.jpg

It's a beautiful machine and amazing to ride! Weight is around 28lbs with these 
wheels; the new wheels will drop that a pound or two. I'm fussing over some 
details on it today … fitted my saddle bag, the Garmin bicycle computer and 
sensors, etc. I'm waiting for the postman to drop off the different handlebars 
I bought for it (these were my first try and they're a little too high, I need 
flat bars).

I'm happy. :-)

I have it on very credible word that my beautiful bicycle was sold and resold 
three times on the day it was stolen, and chopped for parts by that same 
evening. It doesn't exist any more. :(

The good news is that my insurance company acted quickly, positively, and 
settled the claim I made for the theft within 48 hours. I've just deposited the 
settlement check today. IN the week and a half since the theft and the notice 
of the claim settlement, I've acquired a new frame (Salsa Beargrease frame set) 
and all the parts to build a new bike have been received by my friends at the 
local dealership. The new bike will be built tomorrow. :)

I'd meant to send a thank you to everyone who offered their condolences and 
support on this and other forums, but honestly haven't been in my right mind 
until just yesterday-today. I've been documenting the process on FaceBook, for 
those who follow me there. My apologies; thank you all for your kindness and 
notes of support. I really appreciate it.

This was a terrible time, it ripped my guts out. I'd rather not discuss it 
further, need to put it all into the past.
Thanks!

Welcome, Olga. I won't say anything because I think the others have said

Hello!
I am new to the list, new to Pentax, new to digital photography, and new to 
photography.

I am still discovering the features of my newly acquired K-5 (thanks so much, 
Boris!) after playing with Larry’s K-3 (thanks, Larry, for your gear, your 
time, and your nearly endless patience). I am still struggling with focusing 
and am barely touching the surface of comprehension of what light actually 
means when you are not just looking at it but operating an external lens to 
create images.

The reason I started paying attention to photography was Larry’s landscape 
photos. He photographed places in Oregon and I layered his vision of them with 
my vision of them. I thought that I could communicate my vision through the 
images I take but so far I cannot. As of now I find my landscape photos to be 
interminably boring. But flowers and humans do cooperate sometimes.

Below are the two photos I am currently happiest with. While the photographers 
were creating landscape photos that would be pleasing for me to look I was 
photographing them, trying to capture their faces lit by sunshine and smiles.
