PESO: Yellow

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Since Ann hates the color red (in photographs, at least), I thought I would
do a YELLOW image for spring.  Our backyard:

K-5 IIs, smc DA 18-135hour mm F 3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR
Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are invited and appreciated.

My journey down the slippery slope continues ...

[John Francis]

As some of you may remember, some five months ago I decided that
the K3iii, while a nice camera, wasn't tempting enough to get me
to spend that amount of money on a new APS-C camera body.
I was already finding that carrying a camera bag with my K5, the
60-250, and a selection of other items (generally one or other of
the 16-50 or 50-135, and maybe the 50/1.4) was getting tiring by
the end of the day, so I was looking for a way to lighten the load.
I'd looked at the Olympus bodies, and was leaning towards either
the M5 or possibly the M1, when Olympus decided to drop the price
of the M1X by 40%, making it only a little more expensive than the
M1 (and $300 less than Pentax were asking for the K3) for a body
that was specifically tailored for what I was most interested in -
Motorsports or wildlife photography.

So I jumped, and picked up the M1X and the 40-150/2.8 zoom (which
gave me pretty much the same field of view as the 60-250, which had
become my most-used lens).

I haven't done a great deal of photography in the five months that
have elapsed since then, but it's all been with the M1X. I've just
about become accustomed to the fact that almost all the controls
work exactly the way the Pentax controls don't (I have to turn the
dials in the opposite direction for many functions, the assignment
of the two thumbwheels on the body to control shutter and aperture
has the two functions interchanged, the lens release button is on
the other side of the mount, etc., etc.) Fortunately, though, the
M1X is amazingly reconfigurable - most of the vast number of buttons
spread over the body can be re-assigned to different functions (and
there's an easy way to swap the functions on those two thumbwheels),

One thing I have found out, though, is that it's a little too easy
to get yourself stuck in a corner.  With the Pentax bodies all you
have to do to reset the camera to a known state is to turn it off
and on again.  The M1X, though, remembers the state it was it when
you turned it off, and goes back to that state when you turn it on
again (although there's probably a way to change that behaviour, too).

Last weekend I decided I was going to stick with the lighter system.
I knew I wanted something wider than 40mm, but I wasn't sure whether
to go for the 12-40/2.8 or the 12-100/4. I eventually decided to go
for the 12-100, and add a 2x TC to use with the 40-150 to give me a
two-lens system of 12-100/4 and 80-300/5.6 (roughly comparable to a
range of 17-425 on my K5 - giving up 1mm at the wide end, but gaining
a little more reach than the 350mm I got with the 60-250 & a 1.4x TC).

[ann sanfedele]

like the vertical Bradford Pear shot best... the house is interesting - 
makes a nice scene. Nice to see all the bloom - not seeing enough

in my neighborhood yet

Their subjects are:

Japanese cherry x2
Bradford pear x2
Hydrangea: not a tree, but I liked the juxtaposition of last year’s flowers and 
the new leaf buds.

Comments always appreciated.

Re: OT: Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit

[Richard Dell]

Daniel, I took a few cellphone videos, 
and sent one of the short ones (100 MB or so) to your email (not to the list).
That may give an idea of the kind of animations they do, floor to ceiling 
presentation,
projection on all six surfaces.

Re: April PUG is up

[ann sanfedele]

You're welcome, fellow contrarian :-)  after I submitted mine I thought 
of others that would have had less red but still would have been fitting

Thanks, Ann. I almost didn't participate until I had a spare moment to have a 
deeper look in my photos drive.

I wish I'd taken a photo many years ago of a blue Ferrari I saw with the custom plate 
"Y B RED".  If I had, I'd have used it just to be contrary.

Cheers,
Dave

a very skillful set - (just wish the color chosen had been different ) ... and 
new guy Ken's photo has really nice geography.  Great to see Bulent back.

My personal favorite s David's Lunar Eclipse..  (lovely to look at, not just 
because it is not very red)

It is clear that you guys really like the color red...

I just don't like red  that very intense bright red  .. and a couple of the 
photos include some very ugly red artwork... which, I presume, you who

took photos of them were pointing out the homeliness with a wry wink.. (Brian 
and Filip, of course) .

"For those on the list younger than 75...until the 1950s stop signs were 
yellow."


Educational. I grew up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) where the signs are 
like this:

We moved to South Africa in 1976 which uses the International red 
octagonal Stop Sign.

Great gallery with a bunch of fine images.

Bruce's tractor reminded me of working in my grandfather's tobacco 
field as a kid and Marco's clever rendition of the stop sign reminded 
me of this song by Nervous Norvus from 1956.
