Re: pic
Obviously not on the mountain. If you get on the Blue Ridge Parkway just outside of Boone, you shortly come to what is called Price Lake. That is the location of this shot. Even though not right on the mountain, it is certainly part of the beautiful scenery of the area. I have quite a few shots along the parkway between Boone and GFM. I'll try to get them prepped and put up on the web. Bruce Tuesday, June 8, 2004, 3:18:20 PM, you wrote: BO> Bruce, where was that taken?

They were visible here in Christchurch NZ earlier this year but I missed out due to not knowing at the time (and severe light pollution in the city). It's the kind of thing I'd love to see sometime.

I wish. We're 43 degrees S (what's the generally accepted "cutoff" for aurora visibility?), and there's too much light pollution anyway. I travelled to Tekapo earlier this year, which is one of the clearest places in the Southern hemisphere. Didn't see any auroras (I was about a week late) but just seeing so many stars was an incredible experience for a city-boy like me. Cheers, - Dave David A. Mann, B.E.

Re: Pic of last night's aurora.
You are slightly South as far as I can tell of Kangaroo Island in South Australia from which the Auroras are occasionally visible, (Never been there just looked it up). You need a good combination of a clear night and a solar storm. It doesn't happen often but we can occasionally see them as far South as Southern New England in the Northern Hemisphere. I can't remember the exact latitude here but I know it's South of 54.40 N. Don't ask me why I know it's a long story.

I wonder if the double image effect is a result of secondary diffraction caused by the limitations on the front/rear elements. Not having used or seen the lens, my first check would be to open the back of the camera and see at what stop the diaphragm obscures the front filter ring and real lens element. And check to see if the double image affect disappears at that and smaller openings. Bob Rapp

There is a bit of it, but not at all bad. I've seen pictures with two very distinct images. You really need bright, specular highlights before things get objectionable even with bad bokeh lenses.

Re: Pic of The week. What do you think?
Hi! Can you tell me the photographic details like shutter speed and aperture? The reason I am asking this is: There are two cars on the road at the bottom of the picture. Though they seem to stopped but they are almost at the middle of the road with its headlights on. So, it conveys the information that they were actually moving. If I have been in your place, I should have given a long exposure to catch the cars a stricks of light besides photographing the building. I think a slow speed film is required for that. I like those blobs of light from the street lights in your photograph. Cheers, Ayash Kanto.

Re: Pic of The week. What do you think?
From: Gianfranco Irlanda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Hi Douglas, : I would have took a step to the right to avoid the sign on the left to stay so : close to the building and I also would have cropped completely the street I was standing in the midle of a cross street to US1. I didn't have much latitude. You are however correct, In fact I think I fell into the trap and didn't even notice it when I was composing. :(if I had the opportunity I'd have chosen a slightly longer focal lenght - 85mm : maybe - to include in the picture the building and the sign only if the : intention was to give the meaning you have suggested). Unfortunately an 85mm and the right angle would have put me in the middle of US1. Not a pleasing thought, even at 2AM. Maybe a 135mm or 150mm from across US1. :There are too many distracting things in the lower part of the frame that drive the attention away from the "Do Not Enter" sign. Possibly, as noted I don't remember if I was aware of the stuff to the left. Falling into the trap I am sure I saw two things, the building and the sign. But maybe it makes it more of a picture to test your perception. So far I had to explain it to a couple of people. It was interesting to see who "got it" at work today.

Re: Pic of The week. What do you think?
The reason why the cars seem still is because they are moving towards the camera. If the were moving to the left or right there'd be a lot more blur. Personally I would leave the cars alone, they aren't the subject. And if you blur the background more they may not be recognizable as cars, their headlights just a couple of distracting streaks along the bottom. But if you want to expirement with slower shutter speeds, an easy way to lose a few stops would be to put a polarizer on the lens. I wouldn't try a red filter, as the red on white sign would not show up well, but on the other hand a green filter should raise the contrast on the sign, maxing it black on white instead of dark grey on white. Just a thought.

Re: Pic of The week. What do you think?
From: Todd Stanley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : This is my kind of picture - I really like the visual irony of the sign. Mine too. : The DOF for a picture like this is complicated, as you want the sign to : stand out, but at the same time want the building to be recognizable. I : would of blurred the background more, judging by the scan. But at the same : time it would probably look just fine as a 8x10 print, as percieved DOF : does have to do with enlargement size. I'm going to take the neg to my local printer to have an 8x10 made to judge the resolution, we'll see about the DOF. : As for the cars/lights, I don't see them as distracting to the photo. What : is distracting to me is that thing in focus on the left side (tree?), and : that white bar (flare?). But with stuff like that sometimes there just : isn't much you can do. Maybe moving to the right a little, to get some : space between the sideways sign and the building, then simply cropping out : the tree/sideways sign might work - assuming you can move to the right, of : course. Also, maybe include more of the street on the bottom right to help : lead the viewer's eye from the sign to the building. The white light seems to be another Traffic signal, that is a tree. If I had an enlarger I could dodge out the light, and maybe the tree. Other comments were made to crop left and I am going to hit the streets with more lenses when I get the chance. Hopefully when it rains again, I like the effect of thw wet streets. l8r, Douglas E Harmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://personal.mia.bellsouth.net/~genius91/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Pic of The week. What do you think?
From: Todd Stanley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : : The reason why the cars seem still is because they are moving towards the : camera. If the were moving to the left or right there'd be a lot more : blur. Personally I would leave the cars alone, they aren't the subject. : And if you blur the background more they may not be recognizable as cars, : their headlights just a couple of distracting streaks along the bottom. : But if you want to expirement with slower shutter speeds, an easy way to : lose a few stops would be to put a polarizer on the lens. I wouldn't try a : red filter, as the red on white sign would not show up well, but on the : other hand a green filter should raise the contrast on the sign, maxing it : black on white instead of dark grey on white. Just a thought. I was thinking of using an ND filter or slower film, but the thought of using the usual B&W filters is not one I had for night time use. l8r, Douglas E Harmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://personal.mia.bellsouth.net/~genius91/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Pic of son reading (Was Using Older lenses and Flash Systems with *ist D/DS???)
Nice shot. Good light. Was the Metz flash used as a slave triggered by the RTF? Paul On Apr 23, 2005, at 8:35 AM, Jens Bladt wrote: I took this picture yesterday of my son while he was reading. The gear used was my Pentax *ist D, a SMC Pentax (K) 2.8/105mm, a Metz 60 CT-2 flash (indirect) and the built-in RTF flash (direct) as fill flash: 200 ASA, 1/125 sec. F. 1:8. I was using TTL-flash and a K-lens. http://gallery37564.fotopic.net/p14115207.html I can't see there's any problems Regards Jens
