Re: GESO: Photo walk on a warm February day
Thanks, Ann. I've been trying to find a decent Wordpress plugin for image galleries, but it's been incredibly frustrating. Everything I've tried has had something about it I just don't like -- whether it's the way it composes the thumbnail page, the way it handles the photos themselves, or how difficult it is to get all the images uploaded and displayed. Nothing has gone right so far and I've just thrown in the towel and used the simplest gallery creator I could find. Every time I've uploaded images, by the time I'm finished, I can hear my pulse. Glad you enjoyed the content, though. :-) -- Walt On 2/17/2011 6:00 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: Walt -- I liked the thumbnails, but I had a devil of a time navigating the page...

Re: GESO: Photo walk on a warm February day
I'm using an older version of full-blown Photoshop -- 7.0 to be exact -- and have been meaning to take in some tutorials on YouTube for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it. A lot of the reason I haven't gotten too deeply into the post-production end of it has to do with the lack of resources I have on my current computer. I need more storage space to hold all the files, and more memory to run the software well, to handle the larger-sized RAW files -- particularly using multiple layers of high resolution images. At the moment, my hands are a bit tied, but I'm slowly getting there. I have a larger hard drive to hook up, but I need to get a USB enclosure as it's a SATA drive, and I'm currently running a regular old ATA drive in my system, and the motherboard won't allow me to run both on the same system. I also need to get at least another 2 Gigs of RAM, but it's an older type of RAM (PC-3200 DDR) that isn't as cheap as it once was, back before I needed it, and I'm not sure that my system will be compatible with any newer types. So, it'll be slow going before I'm able to do as much with my images as I'd like, but with any luck, I'll have some manner of windfall before too long. There are some opportunities for me on the horizon. I'm just not in the position to bank on them yet. Thanks for the guidance -- I'll be sure to look into all of this stuff when I'm in a little better position to actually do it. -- Walt Are you using Elements or the full blown Photoshop? I don't really know Elements, but there are tons of free Photoshop tutorials on the web, many of them on YouTube. There two essential things to learn about Photoshop that are the basis for everything else. First, use Adjustment Layers for adjustments, corrections and filters. Placing them on their own layers allows you greater flexibility, and more importantly allows you to go back at any later time and completely undo something if you've come to regret it. You just delete the adjustment layer. You don't even have to delete it; turn the eye off and the layer becomes invisible. If an adjustment is only a little "heavy-handed", decrease the layer transparency == decrease the effect. Second, always save your work as a .PSD file with all of the the layers to preserve your work in progress before flattening the image and creating a JPEG for output. You can save as TIFF, but Photoshop "converts" files to PSD while it's using them. Saving as TIFF just adds unnecessary complexity. You'll have the PSD file (with your layers) to come back to even after you've created a JPEG for output. Never save changes to a .PEF file in Photoshop. That way you always have your original "straight out of the camera" image as a starting point if you ever need to completely start over. Once you learn those two things, you've given yourself almost unlimited possibilities to "do over" anything you're not satisfied with. Do the best you can now and at some later date when you know more about using Photoshop, you can more easily come back to the image and do it better ... without having to reinvent the wheel. Note: Adobe Camera Raw does not save changes to the .PEF file, it saves your changes in a "linked" sidecar .XMP file. Getting back to your unaltered "straight out of the camera" original file is easy; just delete the .XMP file. ACR will create a new .XMP saving your new "changes" next time you open the .PEF file and either continue on to open it in Photoshop or click on "Done".

Re: GESO: Photo walk on a warm February day
From: Walter Gilbert Thanks, John. I was a little disappointed with the sharpness and resolution on some of the shots, myself. Whenever I've managed to get the lens right -- and it's been more difficult than I expected -- it is amazingly sharp. But, it's a challenging lens for me. I haven't put in nearly enough practice with it. As for using channels -- I'm ashamed to admit I don't have the foggiest notion. Typically, I just use auto-leveling and a little cropping and sometimes a filter called BW Styler, which can be a bit heavy-handed. I need to learn more about using channels, curves and all manner of things when it comes to Photoshop. Thanks for the input! Are you using Elements or the full blown Photoshop?

Re: GESO: Photo walk on a warm February day
Thanks, Paul. I wasn't sure if that might have been the cause, or just my less than stellar focusing. I have a suspicion my focusing played a good part in it. The lens is really challenging me in that I'm having a very, very difficult time getting consistent results from it. I don't know if that's attributable to a lack of experience, or what. But, I hardly ever see what I expect when I use it. I'm beginning to worry that something in the camera was knocked out of whack with my cat pushed off the dresser back a couple of months ago, but for the time being, I'm more inclined to blame myself. I haven't done enough shooting since then to be able to determine one way or the other. As spring rolls around and I'm able to get out and do more shooting with different lenses, I'll know. Thankfully, the camera shop in town is a certified Pentax service center, and with any luck, if there's anything wrong with the camera aside from the operator, it'll be a fairly easy fix. I'm really hoping it's just a matter of getting to know the lens, though. I know manual focusing can be challenging for even experienced photographers, let alone neophyte amateurs. So, I'm going to exercise patience and, for once, not blame the gear -- for the time being. -- Walt On 2/17/2011 4:35 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: I suspect the reason for the softness is the f16 ap that was used.

I filled up a roll of Plus-X 125 on the K1000 using my 135/2.5 and will have them developed soon. On my K-x, I used my K-50/1.4 -- everything shot at f/16 just to get a feel for it. I had mixed results, but all in all, was happy with the results. I'm still learning the lens, obviously -- but, when I get it right, I really love the results.
