RE: Maybe I need a digi...

2006-01-21 Thread Sandra Hermann


When My older sister came home for christmas that is the camera she brought. 
 I admit to much camera envy.  Well that is untill she could not get Sami's 
purple outfit to be purple for well over 2hrs.  And then she couldn't... 
well maybe I should say that my pentax outfit was a much nicer set up in the 
end.  I was proud to say I had a pentax.  She put her camera away and 
borrowed mine for the weekend.  :)




A photographer sitting next to me had a D2X and was machinegunning it  
whenever a rider showed up, then used the time between riders to  edit.  It 
seemed like a nice piece of kit.  I admit to feeling a  certain amount of 
gear-envy.

2006-01-21 Thread Sandra Hermann



I took my camera's for a little walk today.  I used film and Digital.  The 
film is still in the camera because I did not take a whole role of it today. 
 The digital is of course burned to a cd and put in a case so I will always 
have it. :).  I posted two pictures.  Please give me comments.  I would 
really like to improve my photography.

Re: posted two pictures from my digital camera.

2006-01-22 Thread Sandra Hermann


It is not the camera, or lens.  I shot 102 picts yesterday and that was the 
only one with the line across it.  The camera is the *ist Ds.  The lens is 
my Pentax 100 macro that I got in 1998.  I did not use a tripod on the fence 
line picture.  A tripod was just not possible on that hillside.


I actually have a shot of the maple leaf that is framed better.  The 
background is, in my opinion, to cluttered however.   I will do some 
cropping to the maple and see what I come up with.


Thank you all for your comments.  I will try again.

I am not sure what digital camera you are using, so I am making 
assumptions...


Your digicam may not be up to doing good macro shoots, both have funny
blurring like there is sun on the lens or hand shake or something. The DOF 
is not
consistent across the film plane (sensor plane) and I, personally, have 
only
seen that in my shots with a really bad lens. So you need a DSLR and 
probably use
a tripod to get some good close-ups/macros. And a good lens. You're there 
(in

picking out interesting things to shoot and composing) but your equipment
definitely isn't.

Re: posted two pictures from my digital camera.

2006-01-24 Thread Sandra Hermann
please do not refrain from commenting.  I posted them because I wanted 
honest reviews.  This is the only way right now that I have to improve 
myself.  I believe I was on manual focus.  (maybe I need glasses, I am after 
all 30)  :)
My maple is the new one.   I think I like it better it seems to come from 
somewhere.


I do know that I had my camera set wrong.   I couldn't figure out how to 
make it shoot on anything but auto on the f-stop.  I think I figured out 
what I was doing wrong on that last night. I didn't have time to try it yet.


The other thing I am noticing is they all looked very different on my laptop 
then they do on the desktop.  They look totally different on the 52in tv 
also. When I put the first fence picture in the laptop there is no 
distortion of color on the leaves.  I think i may need to make my monitors 
the same somehow.


Anyway just a few thoughts from me.  Please tell me all of you opinions.  I 
would rather know than sit around and wonder if anyone even thought to look.

Are you using manual focus? Nothing in Barb 4 is quite in focus. The visual
preference for most (not all) is that something in a macro shot be in 
focus.
Personally, I've discovered I can only do macros with manual focus, 
otherwise AF

focuses on an area I don't want.

Should I shut up?

I stand corrected re your camera and lenses.

My Maple isn't bad. (Is that the new one?) But I'd prefer greater DOF for
more of it.

Anyway, you're getting there, but, if it were me, I'd try a tripod and

Hi Lasse.
Yes, I am the previous jeepgirl that you remember.  Sandy, Sandra, Sam, 
Jeepgirl, BooBoo, Blubicon, any of the above or version there of is ok with 
me.  I am mostly Sandy though.  Sami is mine.  She is such a precious bundle 
of joy.  I don't see how I can think about her and hate anything at the same 
time.   Your caption describes her perfectly.  It is so very cold out today 
and she brought me her coat and cried because I said it was to cold to go 
out.  In the end she won.
We call the coat she was wearing a Serpa coat.   I am not sure if that was 
the correct name for it or not.   I bought it at a store in St. Louis called 
Children's place.


I have given up on being unsafe.  I such a precious cargo to carry with me

Hi there, jeepgirl! (or Sandra, if you prefer).

I guess Sami is your own girl(?). Congratulations!
I immediately read the caption "Hello world! I'm here and I'm getting ready 
for you! :-)".


Great picture, which brings a smile to every viewer.
Btw. what do you call exactly that kind of coat?

Also, I looked at the other pictures. I like them because you are picking 
subjects that are simple and plain, yet in a way that not everyone does. (I 
still clearly recall one of your very first submissions to the PUG (God, I 
hope I don't get you mixed up with somebody else... :-) ) when you still 
had to go over to your mom's to get it scanned - a photo of a sailing(?) 
boat/ship, a murky undefined yellowish/brownish picture that didn't even 
look like a photo. (Maybe that's exactly why I remember it so well, along 
with a few other pictures that I also liked.) I thought you had a mind of 
your own and I liked the pictures I saw.)
You were asking for comments, the only thing I'd like to say is - go out 
and shoot a lot more, just the way you like it yourself, without thinking 
about how "a good picture" is supposed to look like. Then tell us when 
you've uploaded them.
If anything I could also encourage you to be daring, not always putting the 
subject in the center of the picture, look for depths into the picture.


Are you still making local roads unsafe and go shooting heads of snakes?

First: I have been many posts behind for some time. Now I am looking at an
empty in-box. A wonderful feeling.
May I ask for a moment of list silence to let me celebrate the event? ;-)

Another way of celebrating is to comment the pugs. My favourites and almost
favourites are:

" I que es la veritat? " by  Lucas Rijnders. At first glanse this did say
much. When I notice the line that stands out, it changes. A pleasant image.

" MBD " by  Patrick Rendulic. I guess there are some message here. Sorry, 
it

does not reach me.

" Ripples " by  Henk Terhell. Really like this one. The perspective is
perfect. Myself may have ruined this using a wide angle, you didn't. My 
only

nit is about the top. There are some ripples that just starts, that annoyes
me a bit. Cropping of tiny bit would have improved it.

" Field " by  Jens Bladt. This is one of your best shots Jens. Simple and
well done.

" Dew " by  Dag Thrane. The idea is good, but something is missing.
Something about the composition makes it fall apart.

" Metal Landscape " by  Gianfranco Irlanda. Interesting approach on a daily
life item. Well executed.

" Gords " by  Bob Sullivan. Well seen. A funny picture. I'm not convinced
about the framing. Something tells me you had other options that would have
given a better composition.

" Green Light " by  Francis. Interesting  use of colours. Good light.

" Pine Ball " by  Sandy Hermann. Well seen. Like the background. I'm not to
happy with the centred composition.

" Anti Pattern " by  Boris Liberman. I like the title.

" Webs " by  Catherine Wilson. Good idea. I wish it was sharper.

" Marshal St, Scottsdale, Az " by  Ann Sanfedele. One more time Ann show us
a very good eye for lines. The moon (or whatever it is) makes this little
extra.

Think I'll stop here, I feel a bit negative. More to come, I hope.

It's not working for me.  For one thing, she looks like a beautiful

Also, I'm not sure what she's doing with her right arm behind her

on

others'. But a bit busy with Mom. However, I'll try to make some comments
soon.

Again, following Bruce's suggestions for camera settings for the Monterey 
Bay
Aquarium, I shot a lot of jelly fish. I felt there should have been some 
slow

classical music on the background, maybe a waltz, to go a long with their
graceful, slow movement.

None are super sharp, but some are a tad sharper than others. I may throw 
up
a jellyfish gallery next week. The have a tad more impact when taken 
together,

and they would also probably display well on that way too. Say, a group of
four or so.

1600, 50mm, 2.8, about 1/15 of a second, and accidentally shot JPG rather
than RAW (because the no flash setting on my camera did that without my 
awareness

of it)

This is not the sharpest, not the worse, not the best, but I liked the
juxtaposition of the two.

Remember shot through, glass, water, and with a large f stop.

RE: Local Gas Prices

In the St. Louis area:
When I filled up the Liberty tues evening regular was 2.76 and diesel was 
2.75.  When I put midgrade in my mothers Cirrus I think I pd around 2.86.  
that was Wed.  I could be off on that one.  I knew I had to have fuel to get 
back home I really didn't wanna walk the 20 miles between Fenton, MO  and 
Columbia IL.  On average I use about 14 gallons of Diesel a week running my 
libby back and forth to work.  This averages out to around $40 a week.  All 
of this to build trucks.


The really scary thing about this is I worked last week for 72.9 hrs 
building Dodge Ram trucks. Most of them Hemi's.   A few Diesels and a few 
"farm" trucks.   This week we are running only  10 hrs a day again.



As far as the whole shipping concept we are talking about Chrysler has 3 
truck plants.  One in Mexico, one in Detroit, and one here in St. Louis.   
The majority of the trucks we are building this week have had Mexico or 
Canada shipping labels on them.  Wouldn't you think a company of there size 
could figure out that Detroit was closer to Canada and that well Mexico was 
Mexcio?

2006-01-18 Thread Sandra Hermann
I agree.  Mom always told me love was a fickle thing.  :)   I do love my 
digital.  I suppose it is not its fault I haven't used it enough to beome 
familiar with it.   I think that maybe this summer Sami will be old 
enoughthat we can go out together and I can start teaching her about nature 
and we can take pictures together.   I don't take the time anymore that I 
used to. I used to take the top off on my jeep and put my camera gear into 
the seat beside me and drive for hours and take pictures of the things that 
I saw that I wanted to always remember.  I had a friend that would sometimes 
drive and we would chat and eat a picnic lunch It was exremely relaxing and 
enjoyable.   I guess maybe I should hire a babysitter and spend a day with 
the camera and see what I decide then.
I have ventured into a new type of photography since I got the digital 
camera though.   I took about 3 family portraits for friends around 
christmas.  I take pictures of all the baptisims and baby dedications at 
church.

Hi Sandra,
Sounds like it's more a relationship problem than a hardware problem:-).  
Seriously, digital has been very good to me, and my results are generally 
better than they were with film. But I haven't changed the way I approach 
the task. I still shoot as though I don't have a frame to spare and work at 
least as carefully as I did with film. Consequently, the changes that 
digital has brought to my work are good ones. Specifically, the ability to 
see results and make adjustment when possible and the opportunity to fine 
tune a RAW image for printing. Life is good. I'm in love.

Re: PESO: Nails nails nails

2009-10-27 Thread Sandra Hermann
I really like this shot.  A lot, I like it both ways.  I am leaning for the 
shot that shows the whole pole though.  I think it needs to be put in context 
in this shot.  I'm not saying the other is bad though, it's just I like the 
context on this one...

Let me introduce myself... and a PESO

2009-10-27 Thread Sandra Hermann


Hi!  My name is Sandy or jeepgirl.  I have been lurking for awhile, but 
apparently my setting was wrong in my email so I couldn't post.  (Thanks Doug)  
Pentax and I have been friends since Dec of 1995.  Hopefully I have improved a 
lot since then. I shoot for stress relief.  I am currently unemployed and have 
some extra time on my hands so I thought I would get back in touch with some of 
my favorite people.  I hope life is treating you all well!   
For my PESO check out:  
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LBVQqSnxnVs/SuTFA-InhVI/CbQ/5jg3p3PN0sY/s1600-h/1.jpg
The whole blog is open and only shot that I have taken recently.   I have more 
stuff on Facebook, but it seems to get mixed in with life pictures. 
Tell me what you think!
Talk to you all again soon

I'm not sure that the shooting is actually stress relief, but the walking 
around enjoying nature is... Of course, photoshop blows all the stress relief 
out of the water when I am done shooting though.  I got a new mac last month 
though and it seems to be better at editing my work though, so maybe it will be 
fun again.

You all really posted that much about me? LOL I'm flattered...
Yes it was from an airplane.  My baby girl flashed her eyes at some guy and got 
us an airplane ride.  I would have loved to have had a different Lens. I had no 
idea we were going to fly.  That was with my 18-55mm lens.  I was so nervous I 
thought I was going to be ill.  LOL.  The guy let me fly the plane and wow now 
I just have to do it again.  LOL.

Re: gear frustration

I (thankfully) have no direct connection to autism.  It is horrible to see 
though.  I have been walking for 4 yrs now... Volunteered at the walk for the 
last 2. Last year I was in the photography side of the volunteer part, this 
year the Kitchen.  About 10 weeks ago I started on my masters in Special 
Education, with a minor in Autism.  Someone has to be there for these kids.  
Wow that was way off topic sorry guys/galls

Re: Let me introduce myself... and a PESO

No I haven't read it.. We talked a bit about it in class the other day though 
and it is on my list to buy.  I will look into it.  
I haven't been up in the arch in year, probably since grades school.  I plan on 
taking Sami up in it one of these days though.  The thing about living with a 
landmark you can see from your window is sometimes you forget about it 
I wonder what the world looks like from up there?

Re: Let me introduce myself... and a PESO

2009-10-27 Thread Sandra Hermann
A lady I worked with before my job closed down had an autistic grandson.   One 
night she made 50 brownies and sold them for 30 bucks to raise money for 
autism.  Made me MD.  So I told her to make some more.  Went home that 
night studied up on autism and said to myself oh my god, This is worse than any 
sickness I have ever seen.  I went in the next night and raised over 200 bucks 
for her team.  It went from there. Now that chrysler hit the rocks I am going 
to school to be a special education teacher.

Film is like making love, take your time.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not.  
No guarantees, but when it does, it sure beats the instant results."  I can't 
remember who said it, but I know someone on this list said it a long time ago.  
 


I moved a dresser and found a picture of a bunch of us from GFM.  That was a 
wonderful week!  Best birthday weekend I have ever had!  

Thanks for the wonderful memories!  Wow can't believe I have stayed away from 
you guys go long

I really don't like the third version either.  My cousin does all of her 
pictures that way and my mother tends to love it.  I took the saturation down 
to 48%.   It was set at over 60.  What do you think now?

Re: OT PC Surgery

2009-10-28 Thread Sandra Hermann
They call me trouble for a reason It's only money after all

My sister told me that a mac is designed to work with various art forms.  It's 
designed to handle pictures, even in RAW.  She says if you are gonna spend 
thousands of dollars on photographic equipment, why buy a computer to edit it 
on that stinks. 
Ok maybe I'm not only trouble, but I'm a sucker too!

Re: OT PC Surgery

2009-10-28 Thread Sandra Hermann
There is also the argument that a mac last for many more years than a pc.  They 
told me that overall my mac would last approx. 6 years.  I may need to 
eventually get an external hard drive but the equipment part will last. When my 
dad figured out how much it costs and how many years it will last it was 
approx. 75 cents per day to own the machine... The guy at the mac store told me 
the same thing.  I asked why I couldn't just pay him 75 cents per day as long 
as the machine worked.  He really didn't take well to that idea.

Re: OT PC Surgery

2009-10-28 Thread Sandra Hermann
I can agree with what you said here too.  I have a desktop that I bought in 
2000 that works just fine except a disk is stuck in one of the drives, and 
nothing much works on ME anymore, I tend to forget about it unless I need 
music

This is actually my third suck into this wonderful vortex.  I never really mean 
to leave;  I would live here if I could. I remember your name so I was probably 
still around when you got here.


I'm curious about the contrast on this computer also.  It is a laptop and I'm 
not sure it is always in the right spot.  Did you see all three versions?  One 
of them totally sucks.  One of them was before edit the other was after edit. 
Do you see the arch often?

any quick advice for halloween shots ?

2009-10-31 Thread Sandra Hermann
This will be my first year to be able to trick or treat.  Seeing as I have 
worked nights since 1995 I have never done much dark photography.  Any tips? 
Sami is wearing a pink princess costume.   Should I take a tripod or would that 
be to much of a hassle?  I have a flash.  Would that ruin the "moment"?
I hate trick or treating always have I really don't want to go, so I have to 
take the camera.

Cars are going the way of computers!  They are outdated before they are

PESO: twp tries....

2009-11-07 Thread Sandra Hermann
I've been playing again.  Here are some of the results.

http://samsphotopage.blogspot.com/2009/11/dad-and-sami-b.html

http://samsphotopage.blogspot.com/2009/11/tree-overlooking-marsh.html

I think I really enjoy working with this computer and my pictures.  I seem to 
be spending more time with the photographs than I used to.

I'm thinking I must not be on the level this month!  Are maybe I think it's 
art?  Maybe I should steal my dad's little level and try to use it next time I 
take a picture.  Then again, I would probably be half a bubble off anyway so it 
wouldn't work.

Is this better?

sure it is straight, but I know I used those little lines in the box on the

Thanks.  I am trying to make it look "real"  I've come close, but I have never 
pulled it off yet.  I guess when you are playing with plastic, you don't have a 
good chance for realism.

I'm working on that too.  Dad is a perfectionist.  We call him aunt Bee when it 
comes to cleaning.  LOL  I am not sure the model trains ever get dirty.  We 
were on a garden tour and he had me out there with a q-tip cleaning them.  It

Peso: orange and yellow flower.

The world around me seems to be rather dreary so I thought maybe I could cheer 
it up a bit.   :)  
http://samsphotopage.blogspot.com/2009/11/orange-and-yellow-flower.html
I think this picture may be sharp in all the wrong places.  I'm posting it to 
see if you agree with me.  I think the middle part of the flower should have 
been sharper, although I like the yellow part the best.
