 That's pretty much what I do, but I set to sRGB because the raw file 
 doesn't care, but I get one more letter for filename customization.
 ProPhoto is the widest gamut available, sRGB is the smallest.
 
 See:
 https://learn.zoner.com/srgb-prophoto-rgb-and-more-do-you-know-your-color-spaces/
 
 ProPhoto handles cyan much better. That being the opposite of red, reds 
 benefit.
 Of course, when we convert to sRGB, all that nice cyan information is gone 
 and the reds saturate and block up and all seem to be the same shade.
 And that is why the red flower needed a little help for the web.
 
 At least, that's what I understand how it works.

Re: PESO - Flowers' Shadow

[Bill]

I like that a lot better. The overall view of it is happier, Ann's 
comment about lightening it a bit was a good one, and now the red flower 
has more presence. I like that the white flower is brighter as well.

I like this presentation.

thanks

Re: PESO - Flowers' Shadow

Depending on the colour space you edit in, converting to sRGB can kill 
things like highlights and especially reds, which have a tiny little 
gamut in sRGB.

Damn this lens is amazing.


I’d love to see what it could do with the comet.



So would I. It's been overcast here every evening for the last week and a
half.





I finally saw it & got some images on my 4th try:

1. Rained out
2. Very thin cloud cover & I was looking in the wrong place
3. Rained out again
4. Scattered overcast with thin, thin clouds in between, but I finally "got a 
break".


I'm going to give it another try tonight. Chance of thunderstorms this afternoon 
& evening, but there was not a cloud in the sky when I went out earlier to walk 
the dog.


Heat index is high & I could definitely feel it. Good thing I won't have to 
carry the tripod very far to set it up; about a thousand feet.

Looks like a hot-rodded Studebaker. Maybe a '53 - '55 Commander Coupe.

The tail-lights look slightly wrong, and I don't think Studebaker had 4-wheel 
disk brakes at that time.

Thanks for the comments.  I also dislike the Morning Glory plants and 
remove when I can. I have tried with the sliders in light room but I 
need to experiment more as I am still not happy with the results.

I particularly like the morning glory pic—very nice use of lighting, DOF, and 
color. I hate morning glory plants, though, because once they get into a garden 
they’re almost impossible to get rid of.

If you’re shooting RAW, and using Lightroom, I’ve played with the Saturation 
slider in HSL to tame red and yellow flowers.

 originally came from a local cartoonist called Henry Sunderland.

 Maybe some day I might go down there myself :)

PESO: Flowers at Scott Base

[David Mann]

I grabbed this photo off Facebook.  It's not my photo, and probably wasn't 
taken with a Pentax either.  But I found it interesting.

Peso, flowers part II

This group of flowers was at the stems of the bird of paradise flowers

Dave,
Orchids for sure, but not enough for me to identify.
The bird of paradise shot was great, this orchid only so so.
Problem is no way to isolate the individual flower.

Larry, two things jumped out at me on first viewing
- either give the bottom edge room below the bottom of the flower  pot or 
cut more away from the flower  pot to give the image a more finished look
-also I'd have moved the POV a little to the right to eliminate the partial 
view of the plant on that side and include more of the LH arm on the bench.


IMO both of these suggestions would makes the image appear to be less of a 
snapshot  more of a planned shot.

Thanks.  It was a challenging composition as the bench was fairly tight between 
a not as pretty doorway and some less than attractive objects on the other 
side.  If I used a short enough focal length to make the flowers large and 
still show the bench, it was hard to crop out the things I didn't want in the 
photo. If I used a longer focal length, then in order to include the whole 
bench, the flowers were a lot smaller than I wanted.

I suppose I could have moved the table and flowers closer to the bench and 
house.

Re: OT PESO - Flowers

[Christine Aguila]

Wow, the body art is very pretty--colors lovely.  I like the light you've 
used here too, Dave.  Not sure about the head tilt though--something about 
the angle of the model's head doesn't seem to work with the complete 
composition and it's cropped a bit tight at the top.  Still, very nice work 
here. The pose of the body does a great job of featuring the art.  Must have 
been an interesting shoot.  Cheers, Christine

Nice shot, Rick.  Interesting juxtaposition between daffodils and derelict boat.

Interesting  shot, Rick. Sorry flowers still don't make it pretty. :-) Does 
make one wonder  if someone on the boat planted them. Good eye, good capture.

I absolutely agree with your preference for the color version.
If it were my PS treatment, I'd want to see a more natural color tone on the 
predominate red and orange bell peppers in the foreground. Very small nit, I 
know, but it divulges some color interpolation..on my monitor.
A terrific moment!

Re: PESO - Flowers for the Missus

[P. J. Alling]

I think the color version makes the stronger statement in this case.  
However you could probably make something interesting using selective 
color or higher contrast in the flowers as well.

I agree with you that the flowers get lost in monochrome, but given  
the old world feel of the grocer (as opposed to the supermarket) the  
bw works for me too.

Still, after looking again, I like the color better. I just focused on  
that wonderful rainbow of peppers...

Hi Bob
I like the second one :-)

What scanner are you using for the slides and do you like it?
I just read some reviews and most of the cheaper film scanners seem to scan
too dark.


I'm just wondering because my scanner starts to add nasty yellow/brown lines
along the edges of the scans
and I wonder whether it's now the time to switch to a digital body. A new,
well enough scanner cost about
50% of the Pentax DS here.

Re: PESO: Flowers - don't look if offended

Markus,

The sad part of these scans being too dark is that I sent them out for
a professional scan to a Kodak CD.  I paid about $1.75 each to have 50
slides put to a CD.  I was underwhelmed by what Helix did for me here
in Chicago.  Next time I'm going elsewhere.  Perhaps somebody on the
pdml can recommend a good service.

I agree that a good scanner is expensive.  The cost plus the time
involved in physically doing the scans have kept me from buying one. 
I don't want to do the post processing but have been disappointed by
this last batch of slides.  I spent serious time with PSP7.0 in
lightening the results.

The post processing idea is what is keeping me away from digital.  I
don't want more hours in front of a computer screen processing RAW
images.  I was interested in what Cotty said about shooting jpegs and
just leaving it at that.  But for the time being, I'm sticking to
slide film.

Regards,  Bob S.

Hi Bob
I did not know that you can still order Kodak CD's. That are the ones with
the different high resolution scans on it, right?
Here in Switzerland you can only order a low resolution JPG Picture CD which
is unusable for my needs. I would love to have the
Kodak CD instead of scanning. It would be some kind of additional free
backup too, I just added backup hard disks yesterday.

I think that Kodak charged to much royalties, so that format never got
accepted and the big warehouses sadly stopped soon
offering it :-(

RE: PESO: Flowers - don't look if offended

I was told by a local processor, several years ago, that Kodak had stopped 
supporting the scanning equipment needed to produce the Photo CD. Local 
processor was keeping it going on their own. Last time I checked, several years 
ago now, they were still offering Photo CD's.

BTW, I have around 1000 images done by local processor on Photo CD and I could 
always improve the resulting scans somewhat by resetting white point/black 
point even tho the original slide exposures were spot on.
I was paying between $1.25 to $1.75 each scan.

A friend showed me several discs of Photo CD scans and I was not impressed
at all.  If you've got a lot of slides or film to scan, you'd be ahead of
the game economically to get a good film scanner, and with a little
practice and reading of some on-line tutorials, you'll be getting better
results in short order.

I don't recall now, but can you get a 16-bit TIFF file from a Photo CD?

Ken  Shel,

I have 3 or 400 scanned slides on Kodak CD's.
This is the first batch to turn out so poorly.
I'm looking for somewhere else to take my business.

I would think about doing it myself, but like I said before,
I don't need any more time sitting in front of the computer screen.

 I suspect, Photo CD's are like any other photographic process done 
 commercially - If you find a good processor, that takes the time and wants to 
 do a good job, stick with them.
 I never received Photo CD scans that were bad enough to warrant rescanning, 
 but if I had I would have gone back to the processor and demanded a rescan. 
 By accepting poor quality scans (like anything else), you're just supporting 
 poor quality.

 I don't recall now, but can you get a 16-bit TIFF file from a Photo CD?

  I was told by a local processor, several years ago, that Kodak had
 stopped supporting the scanning equipment needed to produce the Photo CD.
 Local processor was keeping it going on their own. Last time I checked,
 several years ago now, they were still offering Photo CD's.
 
  BTW, I have around 1000 images done by local processor on Photo CD and I
 could always improve the resulting scans somewhat by resetting white
 point/black point even tho the original slide exposures were spot on.
  I was paying between $1.25 to $1.75 each scan.

Bob, for me the numbers (as in $) were against continued usage of the Photo CD. 
when I stopped, I had already spent the cost of a decent scanner on the Photo 
CDs. I popped for a Nikon Super Coolscan IV scanner and am not looking back. 
While it is taking more of my time to scan, I find I'm more selective in what 
I'm scanning and while its scanning, I'm doing something else. Plus with bigger 
files I can print bigger sizes.

Ken  Shel,

I have 3 or 400 scanned slides on Kodak CD's.
This is the first batch to turn out so poorly.
I'm looking for somewhere else to take my business.

I would think about doing it myself, but like I said before,
I don't need any more time sitting in front of the computer screen.

Regards,  Bob S.

 I suspect, Photo CD's are like any other photographic process done 
 commercially - If you find a good processor, that takes the time and wants to 
 do a good job, stick with them.
 I never received Photo CD scans that were bad enough to warrant rescanning, 
 but if I had I would have gone back to the processor and demanded a rescan. 
 By accepting poor quality scans (like anything else), you're just supporting 
 poor quality.

[Herb Chong]

same reason why i got my Nikon 4000ED. i knew how many slides i had to scan 
and i knew that good quality scans were going to cost me between $5 and $10 
each in quantity. even at $1 each, i would have broke even.

PESO: Flowers - don't look if offended

[Bob Sullivan]

Well Frank inspired me.
I've had a number of slides scanned and thought to share a few.

http://members.aol.com/rfsindg/Ranuncula1.jpg
and
http://members.aol.com/rfsindg/Tulip3.jpg

Both with the MZ-S, A200/4 Macro, and scanned from Kodachrome 64.
(Generally, the slides are coming back too dark and scan too dark.
Some repairs were in order.)

Re: PESO: Flowers - don't look if offended

[Jack Davis]

Bob,
My monitor renders the rose (?) a subtle but very
different and odd blend of red/orange/tan/rusty/etc...
Shallow DOF is OK with me.
Other flower seems to made up of the same general
color group with a bit of dark something added.
If you were going for soft artificial ethereal hews,
you succeeded.
Maybe you can let me know where you were going with
such 'unique' tones.
I was not offended by the images and hope you're not
offended by my remarks.

Jack,

Thanks for the comments.  You are on target with soft  etherial.  My
wife tells me the flower is a ranuncula (ra-nun-cu-la?) and you've got
the colors right.  Quite unusual colors on a 3-4 inch globe shaped
flower bud from the Illinois Botanic Gardens in Highland Park.

Like 'em both, especially the second one.  Those bright colours with
the black background really do it for me.

The first one, the colours seem a bit subdued to me, and the blossom
fills the frame so much that there's not enough of that velvety black
background that I liked so much in #2.

cheers,
frank

Bob, I think Frank's are more sentimental while yours are more academic...

They are good technically, but they don't inspire as much as Frank's do...

No offense, as usual, just MHO.

RE: PESO Flowers

[Thibouille]

I mainly agree with Boris except I actually prefer the BW one.
But I'd like better the BW being a bit brighter as the top of the pic is
quite dark.

But I quite like it.

Hi!

DS Here' one I took a couple of weeks ago.
DS It's technically pretty bad and I wasn't going to post it.
DS But my eye keeps wandering to the print for some reason.

DS I think maybe I like the BW version better.
DS See what you think.

DS http://www.donsauction.com/PDML/Flower.htm

Don, the color version is a little bit better than the b/w one. Still
in my opinion both are just average. You see, there is a path that eye
follows that is made by the flowers. Path from the front bottom to the
top middle. But there is nothing except darkness at the end of that
path. And the bright flower on the left which pops out does not add
anything. So, the whole composition is confusing, at least to me.

Please don't be upset or offended as I mean no such thing.

HTH.

I find the BW version less attractive. How did you do your BW conversion? 
Have you tried the conversion methods outlined on Shels page?

I'm with Rob on this one.  The color version is better.  I do find it
a bit intriguing to look at.  Kind of nice, actually.
