Re: PESO s
Shel, I'm not convinced that the *ist DS is a replacement for film, but it sure is a lot of fun. And it is very close to a replacement. The quality is good, better than my scans of Kodachrome. Plus it would have been $125-$250 in film costs...essentially free. I'm having trouble reviewing all the images and finding the best.

G'day Paul, "To the sea" doesn't do much for me. I'd suggest bumping up the brightness & contrast a bit though. "Invitation" on the other hand I really like.

To the Sea kind of bothers me for a couple of reasons. First, it seems to tilt to the right just a bit. I know, you can't really see the horizon, but still, it just doesn't seem right in the "level" department, and I actually find it disquieting to look at for that reason. Second (and I could be wrong here), the sharpest elements in the photo seem to be the bare branches on the upper right. The background seems not to be terribly sharp. There's just not enough strong elements in the foreground to justify such focusing, IMHO. But, I could be wrong. Now, "Invitation", to me, is a very strong photo. It drips of Small Town Americana. I expect Opie to come running out of the door any minute, or maybe to hear Calpurnia to holler out the window, "Scout, Jem, come in for breakfast, I made biscuits and gravy!" or something like that. A very strong composition, with everything seeming to fit together just so. Great title, too. Again, batting .500; not a bad average. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Re: PESO - "S"
Jack, I've been studying a lot of B&W studio work lately. Here I was going for an almost abstract look -- outlines, areas of (almost) solid tones, skin pale, hair dark, etc. So I cranked the whites way up and the darks way down, leaving the midtones almost empty. There _is_ definition in the lights and darks but you have to look very closely, and have a calibrated IPS display too. :-) I intend to print this image to get the full effect. I expect to have to to a few runs to get it right as it probably pushes the paper/ink abilities. For more subject definition you may prefer the original colour rendition ... http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/8245838556/lightbox/ On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 11:12 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > I too lose definition in the area of her left shoulder.

Re: PESO - "S"
Basically, yeah, the faint tonal differences are intentional. But my first cut had more separation; the version you saw had been tweaked to push the whites right up close to 100% which flattened the tone curve near the top. I backed that off and restored the original version once again, so have a look at it now. It's subtle, but the outline of her arm is visible. As I said to Jack, you need you monitor to be well calibrated as I push the tones at both ends of the scale, without blowing them out. And here's the tonally less extreme colour version ... http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/8245838556/lightbox/ Thanks! On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 9:29 AM, Gerrit Visser wrote: > Great pose.

RE: PESO - "S"
I did see the subtle difference but for some reason I was drawn there which was probably not your intention. Well, I better get the thing calibrated soon then :-) Then I might post a few adjusted photos myself. Gerrit -Original Message- From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Bruce Walker Sent: December 4, 2012 6:38 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: PESO - "S" Basically, yeah, the faint tonal differences are intentional. But my first cut had more separation; the version you saw had been tweaked to push the whites right up close to 100% which flattened the tone curve near the top. I backed that off and restored the original version once again, so have a look at it now. It's subtle, but the outline of her arm is visible. As I said to Jack, you need you monitor to be well calibrated as I push the tones at both ends of the scale, without blowing them out.

Re: PESO(s): Snowfountain Cherry
Paul, Cherry trees are a favorite. 2 came with the house we bought in Wisconsin. 28 years ago, I discovered orange birds working the cherry blossoms. (While I sat with my baby son sleeping in my lap.) They were Baltimore Orioles and it's the right time for them now! We put out orange halves and would like to try jelly, but have to figure out how to keep the squirrels and racoons away. Regards, Bob S.

Re: PESO(s): Snowfountain Cherry
I've never seen Baltimore Orioles here, but just a bit south of here, at Point Pele in Canada, they're abundant. Don't know why we don't have some. Plenty of other birds however, but they don't seem to like the hard little cherries that appear on this purely decorative tree.

Re: PESO s spinning fire
Great shots, Larry! I never quite got the hang of shooting the fire spinners while we were out there. The closest I manage to get was near the end of the spinning and was ruined by the fact that I'd zoomed in too tight so that the fire left the frame and re-entered at the outer edges. Kind of a bummer. Cool for you, though! -- Walt On 4/10/2011 9:47 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I was at a birthday party last night and they brought out the poi to spin fire.

Re: PESO s spinning fire
From: Walter Gilbert Great shots, Larry! I never quite got the hang of shooting the fire spinners while we were out there. The closest I manage to get was near the end of the spinning and was ruined by the fact that I'd zoomed in too tight so that the fire left the frame and re-entered at the outer edges. Kind of a bummer. Just means you've got a reason to go back and try again. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I think that's a really cool shot! Don't know why, I just do. I like the other (in focus) Egret shot a lot, too, especially the lighting. The young seagull shot does less for me; I think it's the way the horizon (or the beach on the other side of the water) sort of cuts off his feet from his body - kind of distracting. The rest of it's well composed though, with the wall and all... The Canada Geese shot, well, you've documented the vermin soiling yet another nice green space. It's what they do. I hate them.
