Re: Geso On the Street corner

[Don Guthrie]

Thanks Ann, yes pretty much small midwestern town, once a meatpacking
Railroad town. Now more retail medical & services place. Our claim to
fame these days is the gypsum mills here produced most of the drywall
for the Mall of America.

Yes Q has raw setting I usually shoot raw + jpg as the files are quite
small. The whole interface is Pentax through & through.

Don --
Familiar ... the kind of place I've stopped so often in multiroad trips
and knew from my childhood.. Our Town.? I like 4 and 5 the very best of
these.. and equally
The first one the least because of the balance across the page, as it
were..

Does the Q shoot raw?

This came as quite a surprise.  I have been using Photo.net to store
most of my images that I intend to show here or share with others for
years, but this is my first photo of the day.

BTW, I chose another image from the same shoot for my PESO here of the
Sphinx or False Hummingbird moth, although this was among those chosen
for my GESO of the moth shoot.

That's called "randonn?e" or "audax". The real hardcore don't use
tents and sleeping bags, but sleep in their clothes in bus shelters or
on the floor of halls.

The most famous event is Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP). One of our very own
PDMLers is doing it this year - 16-20 August. Perhaps he'll show
himself and we can follow his exploits online.

Thanks Mark C, This was my last shot of the day. I had failed all day
to get one I liked. Changed cameras for the sunset shots and success
on the last attempt. As I replied to Igor these were sunset. The
riders leave at first light and the tents were gone by 9 AM.

Beautiful light and colors as well as excellent panning work in the
action shots. The morning light on the tents - especially the first
image of them - is wonderful.

Re: Geso :Tour De Farms

[Don Guthrie]

Thanks Igor, the tent at sunset seems to a favorite anytime I show
these. So thanks to PDML folks for confirming that.

The organized tents are indeed part of  paid service so that when
riders hit town the riders are directed  to their spot where tents
sleeping bags hot showers and I maybe food is waiting for them. The
purveyors are called the "Pork Bellies" the pig being the unofficial
mascot due in no small part to my sister -in-law's art. I think the
price is around $100 per day but the hot showers alone are almost
worth that after riding 60 miles in humid Iowa.

I went by this spot at noon just after they were set up. I visualized
how this would look at sunset and returned with the K-3 & 50mm and
went on to the other two camps pictured. The less organized camp was a
riding club who reserved the spot. By the way many riders carry their
sleeping bags etc on the bikes and sleep where they drop.

I especially like the photo of the tent-camp with the (morning?)
sun shining on it (52329).

While I see one photo with different tents, I am surprised to see such a
uniform camp in that photo. Is it some type of a tent-hotel, provided
by some organization/company?

We got back to Philly late yesterday afternoon. We had an excellent 9 days in 
the UK (8 days out of 9 being comfortable and sunny is routine, right?).

A highlight of the trip was the gathering in Oxfordshire, pub lunch, and walk 
up to the White Horse and along the Ridgeway with Bob, Chris and Karin, and 
Cotty and Alma. Joy and I had a great time, and thank all of you.

  A small sampling of the many pics I took is here:

It's Forsythia Season in New Jersey, and they are in bloom all over,
including my yard.
Remarkably, the stat highway department has planted stands of
Forsythia in the median between the traffic lanes on our local
highway.  This creates a spectacular show during this time of year,
and the rest of the year the bushes provide a visual barrier between
the lanes and helping to block the headlights from oncoming traffic at
night.

Re:Peso-Colusa Preserve

The pheasant is very common around here with a bad habit of flying up 
out the ditches along the highway and usually just missing the 
windshield. The heron is getting to be more common in our wetland areas. 
Why do they always manage to just hide behind the leaves. But bird 
photography always frustrates me so enjoy seeing yours and others.

Jack, thank you for the look. # 1 was the 1st time I have tried that 
view of the property, glad you liked it. As for three I tried several 
angles but decided this best conveyed the mood of the day. I guess 
Spring looks a little different in your area. These were shot on a rainy 
day - the kind of rain I know you need out there.

 The whole set looks nice but I

really love the fallen petals - beautiful but moody - springtime's left
hand. The bronze drainpipe on the brick wall is also interesting - it
took craftsmanship and planning to get it just right, but time and
entropy undo all that... Mark On 4/24/2015 3:27 PM,


Thanks Mark, love your turn of the phrase "springtime's left
> hand"  Spring seems to pass very quickly some times and those petals 
begin to fall before all the buds have opened on the tree and by the 1st 
week of May they are almost all on the ground. Yep,the industrial look 
of the downspout caught my eye amongst the natural Spring beauty.

That is a fine album with a lot of strong images.  The colors are
surprisingly rich, especially given England's grey image.

You may have improved since then (I'm not qualified to judge), but you
clearly had the eye and the talent way back then.

Geso: my trip to England 1982

[Don Guthrie]

In 1982 I went to Bolton England to act in a play. I took my 
aforementioned Ricoh and a cheap tele and traveled to Manchester, 
Chester, York and London and The Lakes District. I was shooting 
Kodachrome and the developing bill when I returned to the states was 
almost as high as the trip. These are some imperfect scans of the 
slides. My technique was not too good but I like some of the 
compositions. Oh the redhead with the bushy hair is my wife.


So if you have a moment peruse these and see if I have improved any 
since then. Comments always welcomed.

Re: What does everyone now use?

[Don Guthrie]

Hello my name is Don and I am a cameraholic. Ironically my 1st serious 
film camera was a Ricoh. I bought it because I  had access to a couple 
of Pentax screw mount lenses. When I went digital I went Pentax because 
of those same lenses.


Today I use K-3 & K-5 and now Q7. But those big boys seem a little bulky 
for air & bus travel so I ventured into M4/3 with the Olympus line. So 
today Pentax 60% Oly 40%. Too many lenses for both systems to list. (see 
1st words of this post) BTW I never go shooting with one of each - too 
many differences in buttons & menus. I get confused between the 2 Pentax 
camera because the back-button focus is not the same place on both cameras.


Frankly after they are in Lightroom I never look at which camera took 
the photo except when I am posting to PUG or the Annual.


With all this equipment I should be better than I am, But its just a hobby.

Currently using a K3, with a K20D as backup.
Since my Spotmatic days in the late 60's I've had an ES, MX, PZ-P, PZ1P,
MZ-S, Olympus Stylus Epic, Optio S, *ist D & K10D.
Recently added a Nikon Coolpix P7100 mainly due to its lightweight and
optical viewfinder.

The K3 is responsible for about 98% of my current shooting.

Yes quite lovely. The discovery of the arch made some great works

I should look around your Flickr for more of your English walk-abouts.

There are a few photos of a high brick railway trestle near Chappel, Essex in this 
album.
  Taken on my 2013 trip to England. The trestle is quite old?I don?t remember how 
old?and still in use.

Notice ?circa 1350? on the photo of the Swan Inn. I don?t think the trestle?s 
quite that old.

Maybe it's the way they tilt toward each other. I'm also intrigued that in the

my spouse did the same thing in 1977.

Excellent set, Don. Sweet light, great compositions.  My Q has seen

 Thank you Mark, I am taking it more seriously as a real camera than I

Re:So Q close

 Paul you really hit upon my problem. I just don't like phones for 
taking photos. They don't feel right in my hands and I feel silly using 
it that way. I also don't look for or see pictures if I don't have a 
camera with me. And yes I have missed photos because I did not take out 
my phone.


I guess I also like the controls and the option to use different lenses 
even if I never do. But I do envy the talent some folks have for taking 
great phone pictures.

Re: PESO: Don't Mess With Australian Termites

When I read your description I thought "I hope there is something in the 
photo for a sense of scale." And yep the decaying truck is the perfect 
marker. Nice! Please keep the little bugs on your own homeland.


I have seen the effects of our local termites. They can hollow out wood 
in a house so well it is not safe to walk across the oak floor. We also 
have carpenter ants here. But they are easier to spot as they leave 
behind piles of sawdust.

Anyway I could not find this photo for some reason when I submitted but came

find it again.

Re: Peso 100 years of farming.

[Don Guthrie]

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. There was a field of wind 
generators I just liked the line of barn to the one. This old farm had 
gone from producing hay to electric power. Each tower plus its service 
road takes several acres of prime farmland out of production - a loss of 
hundreds of bushels of corn every year per windmill. They also kill 
eagles. But this plus ethanol production is becoming the Iowa mainstay. 
Progress I guess. There are so many fields of windmills we have started 
naming them. This is the Lundgren Wind Farm

Interesting contrasts. Are you implying that the wind generator shows 100
years of progress? At least the fence poles look 100 years old.

Coming out of delurk mode. Having not posted anything here for awhile I
offer this "bucolic scene" of Iowa farmland today.

I have been faithfully reading the group and admiring the droll profane

I like how this one turned out.

The crystal was very small - about 2mm in diameter so there was a lot of
extension (250mm) between the K3 and the reverse mounted DFA 50mm f2.8
macro. For this image I used two flashes - as usual, one beneath the
crystal and in addition a small manual flash on an optical slave
trigger, which was held above the crystal to give it a more shimmering look.

I have a few not as good images to work with and then its back to
waiting for some snow...

Comments always appreciated.

Always something cool about pics of museum goers. I see headphones in

That's interesting and nicely done. A bit too busy for me, but that's not your 
fault.

It would have been nice if you'd included the edge of the table, showing some 
of the food and perhaps a knife or something breaking the edge. Still lifes of 
this purpose were used not only to show off the patron's wealth and good taste, 
but also to make a moral, allegorical point about the transitory nature of 
wealth, power and earthly pleasure. To do this the painter often showed 
something balancing precariously on the edge of the table, about to fall.

I think the gritty look works for the photo and contrasts it to the 
color version. I've always thought the subject should slide some to the 
left or slightly lower. This version has a more somber mood. Always fun 
looking at your photos the terrain is so much different than my locale.

I converted this to B&W to add to the color which I intend to keep.
I'd appreciate your comments on this version. Not as a comparison to the color, 
but
as a B&W. I intentionally gave a gritty look to the grass and found I like it.
I like that it, also, emphasizes the array of various size rocks strewn about.

Thanks, much!

'morning all,

Being fans of Tony Hillerman's novels, my wife and I had Shiprock on
our 'must visit' list during our USA trip.

We, together with our two sons, had planned to arrive in the late
afternoon, scout around for a good photographic location and then sit
back with a glass of New Mexico red and wait for the sunset.  As it
happened, getting out of Farmington (where we were staying) took an
eternity so we arrived much later than we had hoped.  Beggars couldn't
be choosers, so this was the best we could do.

Disclosure: I got rid of some wires crossing in front of the rock, my
justification being that had I climbed a fence and moved a bit closer,
the wires wouldn't have been visible anyway...

Re:PESO - Crane Fly (Extreme Macro) & Question Re Macro Focusing, Rails

Almost at the scanning microscope level. I do begin to wonder if insects

Another test run with extreme macro - this one is a dessicated crane fly
that who's remains I found on a windowsill this afternoon. This was
taken with an Otamat 20mm f1.7 on extension for roughly 4.5x lifesized.

Re: PESO - Welcoming Light

I'm sure the color version is very good. I do think the BW does bring 
out the perspective and the dramatic shapes and thus generates a unique 
view of what I assume is a popular photo subject. Nice work.

G'day all

One of the problems when travelling is that you're often not at a
location at the time of day you'd like.

I would have liked to have been at Cape Otway in the early AM or late
afternoon but instead I was there around midday. I like the
perspective in this shot but the colour version, while a nice record
shot, lacked a bit of oomph - so I tried this B&W version:

I thought it was a wonderful collection technically & clever. I thought

themes. And Jack's half dome makes me feel small and and limited in 
talent. And Rick W just irks me because I missed a chance to shoot that

close to 1st place as I have been back 4 time and cannot find a "wrong

one of my favorite photos and it won a prize at last Summer's IA state fair.

Re: Thanksgiving Flower Small geso

[Don Guthrie]

Thanks Igor, I agree the 1st one is a little more dramatic. There is 
also a variety commonly called Easter Cactus, they can be distinguished 
by the leaf pattern. I think they can all be induced to bloom anytime of 
year by keeping them dry and in the dark for a period of time. I have 
not heard the term decembrist... interesting.

Hi Don,

Nice flowers!
I agree with others that the first photo seems to be the best of the
three. For my taste, the second one would have benefited from a bit more
space around it, especially at the bottom. But that's my taste.


My mom has had such flowers for many years (and still has) at her home.
The interesting thing is the name. In Russia they are called
"decembrist", primarily because they bloom in December.
I also remember somebody in Texas using the same name.
I googled, and found some references to that name being used in Brazil.
But it looks like most people in the US call it "thanksgiving"
or "christmas" cactus.


Igor

I'm hoping my draecena will give me that hat trick this year...
should know in another week or 10 days. crossed fingers appreciated.

suggestion for watermark for less intrusiveness but still helpful for ?
protection - a file saved as .png with transparent background , reduce
white font to less 50% opacity then outine the font.

Remember what happened with my watermarks:-)   I don't use *print*marks

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (Ged?chtniskirche, to Berliners) was built

in the early 1960s, preserving the damaged original tower as a reminder against 
war.

There is a very moving exhibit on the ground floor of the tower, and the new 
sanctuary is gorgeous inside--well worth a visit.

Comments welcomed!

There is a perspective effect here which give an almost infinite depth 
to the photo. Pretty cool for a static subject.

Re: PESO - Off the Path

[Don Guthrie]

South I assume. Odd juxtaposition of racer and path made for a clever 
photo. Made me smile at the almost abstract look. Also sort of in the 
mode of Dag, whose name you invoked in another message. Always a look I 
admire but can never emulate.

Re:Peso-Clipper Mills Cabin(Don)

[Don Guthrie]

Jack, I was pretty sure your original crop was correct. The asphalt 
looks more like packed dirt on my monitor, but it doesn't add anything 
that's for sure. Love the 1st one even more now.

Been asked about perhaps opening up the surroundings, mainly the foreground.
Hate asphalt, but just to give it a try...

In the center of Berlin is a large, lovely park; the Tiergarten. It is
a marvelous retreat, except during rush hours when the bicycle traffic
is amazing.

This scene caught my eye:

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17897691&size=lg

I don't know whether the magenta cast in the distant trees is my
laptop monitor or one of the odd things photo.net sometimes does; it
isn't in the RAW or jpg.

Comments appreciated!

A rather odd image. Did a quick U-turn after a glance of the tree stump.
Bright sunlight streaking through a dark woods is, for me, somewhat of a 
challenge.

That's a cool find. The vines in front really add to the photo. Did you 
take any a little wider? I wonder about the general setting.
