Re: PESO - Mike

It's a fun place. I think some of the kids there are a bit wary of cameras but 
the bmx guys are used to me and they like some of my photos so they're 
comfortable with me and my camera.

Still want to catch Mike upside down. One of these days.

Thanks for the comment and thanks to all who commented and looked.

This somewhat immature Heron was standing in a shallow Rouge River feeder 
stream in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. As I approached it took flight. I 
followed it downstream a couple hundred feet and saw another bird that appeared 
to be a different species standing on a log (unfortunately, against a busy 
background). He had a crown of feathers standing straight up and brown markings 
on his neck. After studying the Audubon guide this morning, I've come to the 
conclusion that they're one and the same. Herons all have that crown of 
feathers, but this is the first time I've seen them extended.

Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Rouen et ses alentours:

http://www.web-options.com/Rouen2013/

I cycled from Greenwich to Newhaven, ferry to Dieppe arriving at 4am, then
cycled to Rouen. Later I took the train to Paris and cycled back to Rouen
via Saint-Cloud, Versailles, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Medan, Meulan,
Giverny/Vernon and Les Andelys. Then a round trip to Ry (for Mme Bovary),
Vascoeuil, Lyons la Foret, Mortemer, Fleury-sur-Andelle and back via
Montmain. A day trip by train to Cleres, which is lovely, and finally cycled
back from Rouen to Dieppe (in 3 hours!). 700km / 420 miles in total on the
bike. The whole thing was really enjoyable, apart from getting caught up in
rush hour traffic trying to get out of Paris.

There are still many photos which I haven't looked at yet, but this is a
quick selection mainly from Rouen. It wasn't specifically a photo trip -
it's awkward to cycle and take pictures at the same time! The routes were
determined by literary and arty choices, as well as their historical
interest and beauty.

I stayed in a lovely gite, which I can recommend to anyone who wants to
spend a few days in Rouen:


I hope you enjoy the pictures. Some of them may seem a little obscure, but
they're intended for people in my French circle who will get the references.

RE: PESO: Vintage Garage - Rogers, Nebraska

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

When I was a kid The Garage was where our parents took cars for repairs. There 
were no domestic garages on our street, just rows of "duplexes" (which I later 
found out are really fourplexes but we called them duplexes).

So The Garage was the auto repair shop. They were usually (but not always) part 
of a gas station. 

It never occurred to me that gas stations no longer repair cars and auto repair 
shops are so specialized that we don't call them garages any more.

I guess that's progress.

Well, that's a wonderful shot, Darren! I daresay there aren't many of those 
left and you captured it exquisitely. Even a vintage truck for atmosphere. 

Wonderful, evocative.

Rogers is a Nebraska village on Hwy 30 (historically known as the
Lincoln Highway) and is almost exactly at the midpoint of traveling
between the larger Nebraska "cities" of Columbus and Fremont,
Nebraska. According to the 2010 census, there were 95 people living in
Rogers. This "old timey" auto repair shop (also known as a "garage")
has long captured my attention while driving past, but this is the
first time I took the opportunity to stop and photograph it. As luck
would have it, after one shot my camera battery died and I didn't have
another with me, so I got only one shot. I had some settings wrong, so
it came out with the wrong color balance and exposed improperly but I
didn't get rid of it. A long time later I tripped across the image and
decided to have go at it with the Nik software filters of Color Efex
Pro 3 and then Silver Efex Pro. This was my favorite of the various
iterations that I made. I may share the others later for a comparison.

But as I said, maybe it's me.

Otherwise a lovely photo, and if I'm right it's certainly fixable.

Cheers,
frank

For a nature photography workshop I am taking part in (in Michigan's Upper 
Peninsula starting this Sunday evening), I am supposed to bring along some of 
my recent work. I've put together this "best of" collection, still need to 
narrow it down further. You have seen and commented on some of these before. 
Bob S. - thanks for your continued prodding on lightening up the eagle shot and 
thanks to others for their comments on earlier versions of several of these.

I finally got around to looking at the plane photos I took the night I
photographed the burrowing owl. 
They're a bit rougher than I'd like. I was trying to not blow out the 
colored lights, so everythng not self illuminated was exposed a bit
lower down into the noise, even so, I got a few decent shots,
artistically if not technically:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/9418916483/in/set-72157634899968298

Photographing airplanes is definitely a speicalized skillset that I 
haven't fully developed yet.

If you're curious, the rest of them are at:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157634899968298/
or if you want to see the exif data for each shot:
http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157634899968298

They were all shot on with the Bigma on the K-5 II, at 3200-5000

PESO - Fixed

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

I was at an Alleycat bike race last weekend (illegal street race). It was for 
single speed bikes only so it attracted lots of non-messenger fixed gear 
afficionados. 

They dress like messengers, wear messenger bags and ride brakeless "fixies" 
around town. They're called "fakengers" (fake messengers, get it?) a name even 
the poseurs have adopted with pride.

I thought this fakenger's bike looked cool:

 http://mondociclismo.blogspot.ca/2013/08/fixed.html?m=1

For you bikies out there, check out the clearance between the tire and 
downtube. Eek! 

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

If Knarf and Derby were to have an eccentric bastard Czech uncle, he
might have been Tichy:
http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/06/06/the-reclusive-peeping-tom-photographer-and-his-cardboard-camera/

Tichý is pictured here with one of his long telephoto lenses. He ground lenses 
out of plastic with toothpaste and ash, putting them together with cardboard 
toilet paper tubes, dressmaker’s elastic and old camera parts he found.

Tichý famously once said, “First of all, you have to have a bad camera”, and, 
“If you want to be famous, you must do something more badly than anybody in the 
entire world.”

RE: GESO - Concours Pics

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

Wonderful photos of beautiful cars (except the Edsel of course).

Too much beauty to pick a fave but that 66 (I think) Camero is wonderful. The 
only one I remember from my North American childhood. 

My late cousin Bruce had a 66 convertible. I spent a month at my grandparents 
in Halifax that summer and Bruce took me cruising. When you're 10 years old 
riding with the top down on a hot summer night, radio blaring the top forty - 
man, I was king of the world!

Thanks for triggering that memory, Paul.

Cheers,
frank

I'll  tell you about it in another post but I've been gone due to computer 
woes. Still don't have one but I can now do the odd photo at work (if I don't

D made a conspicuous entrance as she often does:

know what you think.

Hope you enjoy. Comments always welcome.

G'day all

Apologies for the naff title - couldn't think of anything catchy.

This is from our USA trip - taken in Santa Fe, which has to be one of  
the most photogenic cities I've ever been in.  I really like the way  
many homes have decorations on their external walls.

This faded ceramic pot caught my eye:

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1370864/PESO/slides/_IGP2142-K5-1-peso.html

I also played around with it using Nik Silver Efex

RE: PESO 2013 - Houston Airport - GDG

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

There is no place like an airport. Bus terminals and train stations tend to be 
downtown; you can walk about during layovers.

You basically can't leave an airport between flights. Most of them have no 
pedestrian access off and on the property. Even if you could leave, what would 
you do? Walk several miles to get to an Airport Hilton/Holiday 
Inn/Ramada/whatever? Hang around a Golden Griddle House of Pancakes? Strip club?

All you can do is hang around the airport. It's stultifying.

You captured it well.

I spent a few days "up North" on Lake Vermilion this past weekend.  Near our 
"cabin" (really a house) was a loon who pretty much hung out near our dock - 
much more social than your common hermit-like bird.  I only had to sit on the 
dock for 5 minutes before he did this for me:

http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2013/summer_lake_vermilion/content/K5__3991_large.html


Also: Having shot with ISO 3200 the night before, I mistakenly threw my camera 
back in the bag without resetting everything.  The first shot the next morning, 
in bright sunlight, I was shooting - at ISO 3200.  The K5 managed quite nicely, 
and it's difficult to tell that this was done at such a high ISO - unless you 
note the exposure time of 1/3200 at f/10!

Cool!

Maybe we've started a new genre?

I have to say there are completely different takes on our two photos. Mine I 
imagine a young child picking a "bouquet" for mom, seeing a dog to pet or a 
bunch of friends skipping or playing ball, down go the dandelions and off goes 
child.

For yours I imagine a husband or boyfriend in big trouble who brings home a 
peace offering and girlfriend/wife chases him from the home screaming and 
crying, finally throwing the flowers after him, "And you can keep your damned 
flowers!"

Re: PESO - Bathurst Station

Yes indeed Darryl, I was shooting from the hip. Not quite in continuous mode, I 
was bracketting although I only shot the first two of three before I decided to 
stop. By then I was past her and there were no more shots left to take.

Usually after I shoot from the hip I end up doing some straightening in PS but 
the tilt worked for me so I left it.

I have the feeling that she wouldn't have taken kindly to having a camera in 
her face.  ;-)

Thanks for looking!

Unless, I miss my guess, his eye was nowhere near the viewfinder. The
low camera angle looks as if the camera were dangling at his side as
he walked by (perhaps taking multiple shots in continuous mode)? I
don't think he would have gotten the natural pose if he'd had a camera
to his face and pointed at her (although I could be wrong).

Great colour - your patience was rewarded.

It looks as if there was some nice colour there as well.

I am really trying to get to grips with reportage. Previously I would
have shot from the hip, but I'm forcing myself to stop, look through the
lens and compose. You would have thought that, for someone who regularly
films strangers with a huge TV camera, pointing a small still camera
would be easy. Not so.

PESO - Red Dawn

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

It was a boring sunrise as sunrises go. Dark clouds to the east but it was 
clearing up to the west and north.

Never did see the sun but there was a bit of red coming through the clouds.

Stuck it out for about a half an hour and was about to leave when I notice red 
creeping across the bottom of the clouds. Got quite pretty for only a few 
minutes, maybe two or three:

Yeah, it's just flowers. But, I felt like I ought to contribute 
something more than questions. So, here's what I thought was the best of 
the few shots I took.

This is lovely. If you click through to the larger image, it is clear
that they are birds. I put my thumb over them to block them out and
thought that the image definitely lost something. The implied movement
and life of the birds injects (for me) some dynamics into what would
have otherwise been simply a sanguine scene.

Re: PESO - Mist

I was feeling unwell on Monday so was at home. About 5:30pm the skies opened up 
and it rained so hard it seemed the rain was going ~up~ as it was bouncing so 
violently on the window sills. 

Then after about five minutes of the deluge the power went out. Don't know when 
it came back on but it was there when we awoke the next morning.

No flooding around us just no power for about ten or twelve hours. We got off 
lucky.

A few small pockets of Mississauga were without power this morning but I think 
it is all on now.

Hope your friends downtown got through ok.

RE: PESO - Feeding Time for Grebelings

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

This was in Col. Sam Smith Park right next to the Lake Shore Yacht Club. 

Wish I'd have seen the young ones piggy-backing dad. They're too big for that 
now. I saw them try to climb up but parent was having none of it.

I think the reason this year was so successful for breeding is that they 
attached huge pink and white floating balls to the floating nests. I guess the 
scared predators away. Certainly scared photographers away. They were so ug-lee!

But the results speak for themselves.

Thanks for the comments, Gerrit, Bruce, Dan and everyone else who commented and 
looked.

I'm glad I got to capture it, even if not the most technically proficient photo.

Cheers,
frank

That is lovely, almost moving! And a calm day for once.


I think we had a picnic in the same basin on June 20. Only saw 2 little ones
at the time. One was on dad's back but fell off when dad climbed onto the
nest.

I don't know if that's really what baby grebes are called; I guess I should
look it up.

So the excitement is that for the first time that anyone remembers the local
red necked grebe eggs have hatched and no less than five baby grebes have
been spotted around the lakeside park near my apartment!

I was thrilled to spot this parent feeding a little one:

 
http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/07/feeding-time-for-grebelings.html?m
=1

It was a one shot deal. The next dive the parent came up quite far away and
the little one drifted over, out of my range. I did continue shooting but
they were too small and blurry. I watched with fascination for half an hour
while mom or dad (don't know which) performed dive after dive, coming up
with a small fish each time for baby. Then they retired to their nest.

So this isn't the sharpest shot ever, but it was the only one I got. As a
document it's okay, but not a great nature photo, to very sure.

Still, I hope you enjoy it. Comments welcome.

Cheers,
frank

Thanks Jack. It is that, I suppose, technically proficient. As a document of

PESO - Lemmy Merckx

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

Eddy Merckx is perhaps the greatest road racer (cyclist) ever. After he retired 
he made bikes. Very good ones.

His lesser known brother Lemmy made lesser good bikes:

 http://mondociclismo.blogspot.ca/2013/07/lemmy-merckx.html?m=1

Whoever made the "Lemmy Merckx" downtube decal used exactly the same lettering 
as on Eddy's steel frames. I think it's quite funny (but not all will share my 
humour.

Don't know this guy but he's got a messenger look about him.

Hope you enjoy. Comments always welcome.

Re: PESO - Aussi Power Run

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

We don't really play Aussi Rules here. Judging by the accents heard between 
grunts and swearing on the field most competitors are Aussi ex-pats.

They have a small league who plays occasionally at a pitch at a college near 
our apartment. The sparse spectators all seem to be friends and relatives. 

Competition can be fierce, or not so fierce (see background - wait, you already 
have).  ;-)

Re: PESO - Leaf Eater

The adult is pretty ordinary looking. And judging by how much of this leaf he's

I see thorns in the background so maybe it's rose leaves he's munching on in 
the photo.

Still think he's pretty, though.  ;-)

Tell all the guys in the Tour de France they're grandpas too.

The closest thing to a regular track sprint bike they have is a pursuit bike

PESO - Aussi Power Run

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

I don't often show misses, but this one's so close I had to share. Sadly, I 
missed the focus (see how the guys behind him are sharp?), but otherwise I 
think it would have been a fine shot:

Oh well.

Hope you enjoy anyway. Comments always welcome.

Cheers,
frank

RE: PESO -- Toothy Grin

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

I like this!

I think it's because of the strong composition; it really works for me. And 
it's whimsical. I like whimsical.

Cheers,

Re: PESO - Urban Photography

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

Usually I would just be leaving work (401/Dixie) at 6, but this Tuesday I have 
an appointment a few blocks from my place at 5, should be done at 6. 

Let me talk with Judy, she would enjoy this. Might be an opportunity for us to 
soak up some Mississauga culture! 

I'll let you know...

Cheers,
frank

Frank: Fernando Terrazzino and Adam Maas (Mawz) may be lurking still.

We could meet up just about anywhere in TO. Our group is so small we
could meet in a phone booth and not pack the joint. :-)

It'd be great if you could make it out to my little do at The Grange
House in Mississauga. I could give you a lift if you will be in south
Etobicoke or Kipling subway circa 6 PM.
