I agree with Jack's comment, though it might require some wading to
accomplish...

I also like that it was taken with a K10D. I've always loved the
sensor on that camera (as long as there's plenty of light). I passed
mine along to my son, who is getting very nice shots with it.

 I'll just mention that you'd need to show up with about NZ$1M to buy a 
 house in Wanaka.  Want to live on the lake shore?  A small lakeside 
 apartment is more than double that.

That is a lovely shot.

Among other strengths, the lushness of the foreground and the wetness
of the water contrast strongly with the barren brown hills.

Not free but subsidised.  There's a government department called Housing NZ 
which owns a lot of property, plus local city councils also make cheap flats 
available.  But there's nowhere near enough and with house prices and rents 
spiralling out of control a lot of people have been living in their cars.  The 
government has been sitting on its hands.  The cynic in me would say a lot of 
MPs have property investments.  There is no capital gains tax in NZ and it's 
seen as easy money.

As for Wanaka, I don't know if they have any social housing.  It's a tourist 
town which is known as a town of millionaires' holiday homes.  Not as bad as

Sharp and well exposed image, Dave!
If you will allow, I do have a nit.
With the background hill and foreground bush, the composition feels heavy on 
the right.
Moving to the right and placing the
bush to the left of the snow capped
background hills would seem a
more comfortable compositional
balance.
Many nice elements in the scene!

I hadn't thought about moire. I don't think I've encountered it with the K3. I 
don't fully understand the technology. The only time I experienced noticeable 
moire was when trying to scan MF transparencies directly on the glass of a 
flatbed.

Re: PESO: On the Lake

2015-12-18 Thread Jack Davis

Paul,
I agree, a lot of the feather detail does "show", but not with the snap I was 
hoping for.
This may not be a fair test due to the light and resulting lack of contrast. 
I'm hoping 
that's the case.
Sorry if you thought my reaction hasty and ill considered.
I'm going to leave it at that for now with nothing but the sincerest hope that 
the
lens is everything you and I both hope for.

Very nice, especially the "head shot."  Sharp focus, great detail,

I just don't see what you do, Jack.  To my (admittedly elder) eyes,
the image is crisp and sharp, with plenty of "snap,"  particularly in

Thanks to everyone who looked, I'm glad you liked it.

That was the only sunset I got to see during the whole trip as I was going to 
bed early every night (had to get up early in the mornings).

The stitching was done in Photoshop, nothing special done in that regard.  I'm 
not usually so fond of panoramas that are this wide but I couldn't resist all 
that cloud.

I'll do a small gallery at some stage...

Re: PESO - Love the Lake

Thanks for the kind words, David. I must say, sunrises over the lake tend to be 
quite pretty. In the summer the sun comes up near downtown but as winter nears 
it comes up over the water. Kind of cool the way it changes with the season.

According to Environment Canada surface temp of the lake is +5C. I'm actually 
surprised at how chilly it is already.

Thanks to all who commented and looked. Glad you enjoyed.

Cheers,

I'm reading La Bete Humaine by Zola at the moment, before my film class
starts in a couple of weeks time and we do Renoir's 1938 film version with
Jean Gabin. There's a great chapter in which the train driven by Jacques
Lantier, the psychopathic anti-hero played by Gabin, has to make its way to
Paris through a tremendous snow-storm. 

Well, maybe your tram isn't the monster in the book, and maybe your
snowstorm isn't the horrific tempest that Zola drew, but the picture is
atmospheric for all that, and was perfectly timed for my reading! Very
enjoyable.

http://www.criterion.com/films/773-la-bete-humaine

The novel, incidentally, is fantastic - well worth reading. A precursor of
all the hard-bitten pulp fiction and noir from Hemingway to Cain and beyond,
with the best femme fatale since Eve had one of her bright ideas in the
garden of Eden.

I moved on a few pictures from the linked fawn shot. 
I think I prefer the Fawn Resting image:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jt-johnson/5855685820/in/photostream/

I can see why you asked about the flies  etc., they are pretty gross. 
The thing I prefer about this is that you don't have the eyes so centered in 
the frame; and you've shown enough of the context that I can tell that the fawn 
is lying down. 

The little buggers are cute aren't they! I almost stepped on one the other day 
while playing golf. Errant shot off to the edge of the woods, I went looking, 
found the little guy. Of course no camera with me, not even my phone.

Thanks Stan and the reason I wanted to remove them weren't per say that they
are gross the flies that is but more that they attract attention away from
the fawn. I am glad you didn't step on the fawn. 

If the weather will allow I am wanting to get back over to Radnor Lake again
early Saturday morning to see if I can get some better captures of the fawn.

 That's very nice - looks like you moved to a nice place.

Thanks,  It's one of Toronto's earlier suburbs, planned out in the
late 1890's but settled between the wars when industrialization (and a
streetcar line) came.  It's currently a bit rough around the edges
after a very tough couple of decades since the factories closed, but
it's a cool place.  And not that far from downtown, either.

So far I'm liking it.

BTW, for you locals, I'm now in New Toronto, a small area between
Mimico and Long Branch.

 We're relying on you to fix that.

There's actually a fair bit of graffiti along the main street,
Lakeshore Blvd, especially in a few alleyways.  I'm sure it'll make
it's way into a few upcoming photos.

;-)

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.  I don't think I'm becoming a
nature photog, but once in a while if you point the camera the right
way you get lucky.

;-)

Re: PESO: My Sorry Lake Louise

2008-12-08 Thread Jack Davis
I have no Idea of the name of the glacier you're referring to, but we ate in a 
large rustic restaurant across from a glacier on which tourists were being 
driven in buses. I may have a shot and will take a look. Remember we were there 
early spring and the area would likely be carrying slightly more snow and ice 
than when you were there in June.
If I can locate my shot of Lake Moraine, (near Louise) I may get a small web 
scan done. If you're ever been there, you will be struck by the lack of snow 
and the low water. I had a large print made of it after returning home, but 
grew to regard it as a so so shot and probably relegated the neg to my oblivion 
file. 
Thanks for commenting.

Yes - that is the Athabasca ... IT feeds the river of the same name...
I will definitely dig up my comparison shots

I know Moraine Lake, of course --

(I've been to the Canadian Rockies 4 times... though the last time  I 
wasn't as far north as Jasper...)


The lack of snow and low water has to do with when you were there  of 
course - not just in terms of
months but what year it was  

WHen I was there in June of 1976 I was walking in snow to get around to 
the otherside of the lake at Lake Louise...
I had hoped to climb up the trail to MT Burgess to poke around the 
outcrops for trilobites in the Burgess shale...

alas, there was much too much snow on the trail.

I was there just about summer Solstice time.In 1992 I saw the 
Athabasca in late April.

Re: PESO: My Sorry Lake Louise

The only part of that trip my wife remembers is our visit to the largest mall 
in the US (at least at that time) located in Edmonton. ;)

 Yes - that is the Athabasca ... IT feeds the river of the
 same name...
 I will definitely dig up my comparison shots
 
 I know Moraine Lake, of course --
 
 (I've been to the Canadian Rockies 4 times... though
 the last time  I wasn't as far north as Jasper...)
 
 The lack of snow and low water has to do with when you were
 there  of course - not just in terms of
 months but what year it was  
 WHen I was there in June of 1976 I was walking in snow to
 get around to the otherside of the lake at Lake Louise...
 I had hoped to climb up the trail to MT Burgess to poke
 around the outcrops for trilobites in the Burgess shale...
 alas, there was much too much snow on the trail.
 
 I was there just about summer Solstice time.In 1992 I
 saw the Athabasca in late April.

 I may have a shot and will take a look. Remember we were
 there early spring and the area would likely be carrying
 slightly more snow and ice than when you were there in June.
  If I can locate my shot of Lake Moraine, (near Louise)
 I may get a small web scan done. If you're ever been
 there, you will be struck by the lack of snow and the low
 water. I had a large print made of it after returning home,
 but grew to regard it as a so so shot and probably relegated
 the neg to my oblivion file. Thanks for commenting.

Re: PESO: My Sorry Lake Louise

2008-12-08 Thread ann sanfedele
JAck - I have to tell you that my dear departed , who loathes shopping, 
had to take me to the mall there... it was quite

amazing   do note however, that Edmonton is not in the US (snicker snicker)

The one in Minneapolis is just a mall... but Edmunton's mall, back then, 
was fascinating and we had a great meal there...

but I've heard that it has fallen into serious disrepair...

I happen to ahve one shot I took there up on line -

http://annsan.smugmug.com/gallery/2538600_2db8E/1/352326884_KTJeG/Large

It's on one of my Sign Language calendars...
