Yep. I'll try again if the weather cooperates. No that yet another moon pic is 
of value, but it's fun. I might use my A2X-S converter rather than the DA 1.4 X

Thanks Godfrey. The closer to the horizon, the more interesting the atmospheric 
effects, but sharpness is lost. I just shot when I happened to notice that the 
moon was visible from my front yard, but I think I lucked out in getting some 
of the close to the horizon color but not a lot of atmospheric distortion.

I think a little bit past full gives a better photograph anyway. Adds a
little bit of texture that's often missing from a full moon photo.

I like Moon pictures and it's an excuse to get a big mirror lens out. A couple 
of my friends have taken Moon pictures recently and applied filters or 
otherwise modified them in Lightroom. Whilst they look unusual, they don't look 
right. The Moon looks good as it is. Nice image right here.

Looking at the data it's about a 2.4 stop push, so about ISO 4000, and it' s a 
tight crop. I shot some at f8 that are more like ISO 1000, but I like this one

Peso-Vulture Moon

2015-10-20 Thread Jack Davis


Some will recall this from quite a while back, but I'm
on a "moon" trip, so you're confronted with it again.
This was the cover and October image for the CA Dept of 
Fish and Game's 2005 calendar.

C?
THANKS!

Outstanding!

A graphic quality with the forms and colour.
I like how the intersecting wings form a smooth contour and make them
look like one animal - a bit like Virgin's 'White Knight' mothership.

As many of you will remember. the LX would allow you to rewind the film to a 
desired frame. I did so and went to Gray Lodge
Refuge the next day with designs on a flock of rising Snow Geese.
I removed the filter and T/C and fairly quickly rolled up on a good flock of 
Snow Geese. As was usually the case, it took some
waiting 'til the signal went out to the geese to lift off. Their calls as they 
take flight always give me chills.
I had reset the exposure to what I guessed would under expose the scene a 
couple stops.
I went home with a hope of "maybe" having gotten what I'd gone after.
I consider the background a happy accident.
I found that I'd failed to rewind the film quite enough, but stuck with it 
realizing it would not work as an 8X12.
I was more than pleased with the exposures and came to a reluctant appreciation 
of the 8X10.
Have sold a number to locals, one just recently, and keep a couple largish

Very interesting.  On my monitor it looks color balanced so that the 
moon is in black and white and the volcanic plug is bluish. Actually, 
not only is it bluish, but almost looks like a negative image. Was the

Yes, the moon shot is a positive, therefore the overall blue tone is to
some degree present. The shot of the vent plug is a B negative.

As many of you will remember. the LX would allow you to rewind the film to a

Re: Peso-November Moon

2015-10-15 Thread Jack Davis
Ok, I was concentrating on the geese in my search for green.
Possibly the mix of some sky blue and the yellowish tainted darkening 
tone has produced a hint of green (ocher). Yes, I can pick that up,
and doubt I would have had Ann and Paul hadn't brought it up. Thanks!

It's quite pronounced on my monitor. Looks like pea soup actually.

I eye-droppered the sky (averaged pixels) in Ps and I get:

The cast on the white of the bird's wings is even more pronounced.

As many of you will remember. the LX would allow you to rewind the film to a 
desired frame. I did so and went to Gray Lodge
Refuge the next day with designs on a flock of rising Snow Geese.
I removed the filter and T/C and fairly quickly rolled up on a good flock of 
Snow Geese. As was usually the case, it took some
waiting 'til the signal went out to the geese to lift off. Their calls as they 
take flight always give me chills.
I had reset the exposure to what I guessed would under expose the scene a 
couple stops.
I went home with a hope of "maybe" having gotten what I'd gone after.
I consider the background a happy accident.
I found that I'd failed to rewind the film quite enough, but stuck with it 
realizing it would not work as an 8X12.
I was more than pleased with the exposures and came to a reluctant appreciation 
of the 8X10.
Have sold a number to locals, one just recently, and keep a couple largish 
copies on continuous display.

Film.  These days someone would take two different photos. In the 
process take many separate frames, checking the histogram, making sure 
each one is perfect. When they got home they would put them in different 
layers in photoshop, align the moon perfectly. and get exactly the photo 
that they're trying for.


He had to remember what frame he shot the moon at, where in the frame it 
was, compose the birds around that and had one try to get the birds perfect.


In the film era, I would have done that as two frames, in black and 
white, and sandwiched the negatives in the enlarger.

Peso-Sutter Moon

2015-10-15 Thread Jack Davis


This is the shot I mentioned to Larry earlier that I would be posting.
I shot the moon in the evening in color while in Tucson, AZ. When back in 
northern CA,
I shot an evening B neg of the Sutter Buttes' prominent volcano plug.
(Don't know if that is in fact true, but some locals call it that.)
Many many photo shoppers have looked at this print and I don't recall
anyone of them ever asking about the B/color. They may have in my absence,
but?.

Re: PESO -- Cloudy Moon (was) Re: Total Lunar Eclipse

It's a much better image than the best view I was able to see.

Looks kind of like Schiaparelli's Martian "canals".

I went out to try to shoot the Super Moon/Eclipse and I've given up on
the photography at least.  Not a total bust, but there seem to be high
clouds obscuring any detail.  I tried to use the SMC Pentax M*300mm
f4.0, my copy of which is a bit sharper than the A*300 I also have was
also a bust.  coupled with the 1.7x AF adapter the camera thought the
moon should be in focus but they all looked like the image I'm going to
post just because I tried.  It's not good, but I did make the attempt.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20superbloodmoon.html


Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/vmc Vivitar Series 1 600mm Solid Catadioptric
f8.0 and smc Pentax F 1.7x AF Adapter.

Note:  There was so little light the K-5II just simply refused to try to
focus with the AF adapter and the Solid Cat lens mounted, I had to force
it to focus to infinity with a different lens then mount the camera onto
the Solid cat which was mounted on the tripod.  Lest anyone thing this
might be the reason for the bad focus, every shot with every lens
combination whether manual or auto focused looked pretty much like the
one posted, just smaller on the frame.  I do kind of like it as an
abstract, but I really wish that I had captured more detail.



On 9/22/2015 3:18 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote:

 From an email I received this afternoon:


Total Lunar Eclipse!

On the evening of September 27th, skywatchers throughout North America
will be treated to one of nature’s grandest celestial sky shows – a
total eclipse of the Moon. And unlike the one in April which occurred
in the early predawn hours, this one will happen during convenient
evening ones.

This cosmic spectacular begins with the full Moon entering the Earth’s
dark inner shadow (the “umbra”) at 9:06 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time and
continuing to become ever-more fully immersed in it for the next hour.
Totality itself will start at 10:11 p.m. EDT and last more than an
hour until 11:23 EDT, after which the Moon begins to slowly emerge
from the cone of darkness in reverse order. Adding to the beauty of
the overall scene at this eclipse (especially during totality itself,
while the sky is dark), the Moon will be accompanied by some of the
early rising bright winter stars. (Use your Scientifics’ Star and
Planet Locator to identify them)

There are several interesting things to notice as you watch this event
unfold. Most obvious are the darkness of the eclipsed Moon and the
range of colors displayed, both of which vary from one eclipse to
another. These depend on the clarity of the Earth’s atmosphere at the
time, which refracts or bends sunlight around into the umbral shadow.
There have actually been eclipses so dark that the Moon remained
all-but invisible during totality — and ones so pale that you had to
look carefully to see that there was even an eclipse in progress!
Among the colors that have been seen are shades of reddish-orange,
brown, copper, rose, and even blood-red. Notice, too, that the Earth’s
shadow is curved at all phases of the eclipse, as the Moon passes
through it. This is direct proof that the Earth itself is round —
something recognized by many early skywatchers. And finally, realize
that you’re actually seeing our lovely satellite move eastward in its
orbit — as it first passes into, through, and then out of the shadow
at roughly its own diameter each hour.

While lunar eclipses can certainly be enjoyed with the unaided eye
alone (as they have been throughout most of history!), they are
best-seen in binoculars. An ideal pair for this would be a 7×50 or
10×50 glass, the first number indicating its magnification and the
second the aperture in millimeters. Telescopes themselves, with their
relatively narrow fields of view, typically don’t provide enough sky
coverage around the Moon to get the full effect of its globe being
suspended in space. An exception here, however, is Scientifics’
amazing Astroscan wide-field reflecting telescope. Providing a
3-degree actual field of view at it low magnification of 16x, it takes
in an astounding six full-Moon-diameters of sky — something many have
described as looking through the porthole of a spaceship!

look carefully to see that there was even an eclipse in progress!
Among the colors that have been seen are shades of reddish-orange,
brown, copper, rose, and even blood-red. Notice, too, that the Earth’s
shadow is curved at all phases of the eclipse, as the Moon passes
through it. This is direct proof that the Earth itself is round —
something recognized by many early skywatchers. And finally, realize
that you’re actually seeing our lovely satellite move eastward in its
orbit — as it first passes into, through, and then out of the shadow
at roughly its own diameter each hour.

While lunar eclipses can certainly be enjoyed with the unaided eye
alone (as they have been throughout most of history!), they are
best-seen in binoculars. An ideal pair for this would be a 7×50 or
10×50 glass, the first number indicating its magnification and the
second the aperture in millimeters. Telescopes themselves, with their
relatively narrow fields of view, typically don’t provide enough sky
coverage around the Moon to get the full effect of its globe being
suspended in space. An exception here, however, is Scientifics’
amazing Astroscan wide-field reflecting telescope. Providing a
3-degree actual field of view at it low magnification of 16x, it takes
in an astounding six full-Moon-diameters of sky — something many have
described as looking through the porthole of a spaceship!
