For Thrainn Vigfusson, Brian Walters & Rob Studdert

[Dario Bonazza]

Hi friends!

Late, much late, but your pictures supplied ages ago for my article about 
landscape photography have finally see the light!
I've already asked the publisher some courtesy copies to forward to you. In 
the mean time, please supply me your addresses (offline).


Thanks to you all,

Dario

We are just about to pension off the vinyl collection at one of the
radio stations I service, it hasn't been used for years. Most
recordings are in pretty poor condition but I might put my hand up for
the transcription turntable  :-) 


The transition from vinyl to present day tech in radio basically
followed this path; vinyl, open reel tape, broadcast cart (like a
continuous 8 track cart but only three tracks, L, R & cue), Mini-disc,
CD and now virtually all program but the live voice is delivered via
computer.

Solid state guitar amps don't have the right distortion or enough of it!


Many current generation guitar amps are hybrid designs with tubes in the 
pre-amp stage to generate that warm brown distortion and solid state 
power amplification to generate eardrum bursting loudness.

Watching fishing on TV is about as interesting as watching poker on

as an excuse to do those things .  Reminds me of Mark Twain's

I was just teasing, of course.  I know from what I've seen of it (even
without knowing the rules) that it's an athletic endeavour.  And I
certainly agree with you, that what the Olympics needs is more sports
where the outcome is determined by objective scores, or who crosses
the line first, and fewer sports judged on style.

I have a problem with gymnastics, at least "women's" gymnastics.  They
should actually call it pre-pubescent teenagers' gymnastics, because
that's what it is.  What those kids have to go through to make the
Olympic teams is tantamount to child abuse.

England.

The game's easy really. Both sides go out, then the batsman who's in plays
till he's out then goes back in. When they've all finished their innings
they go back in and swap sides before they come out again, and when they're
all out they play another innings and go back in for tea. Then the
commentators eat a cake and Geoff Boycott tells us all how bad they all
were.

 

Sorry, I still don't understand the game. 

Cricket is another very simple game. You have 22 chaps on a lawn, and 
after 4 or 5 days, Australia has won.

No they don't.

They haven't had to dress strictly in white for a long time, now.
Remember when Andre Agassi first showed up at Wimbledon?  He had
a reputation for wild outfits, and there was much specualtion as
to just how far he would push the dress code.  Instead, he came
out wearing tennis whites (except for one small black logo).
That wouldn't have been quite so brilliant a move if everybody
(or even anybody) else was wearing an all-white strip.  As it
was, Andre stood out amongst the sea of coloured sleeves, big
stripes of colour, etc.

And then there's 20:20 cricket - each side bats for just 20 overs (an over
consists of 6 balls bowled). You can play several 20:20 games in a day
and the action is bloody fast. That'd work quite well in the Olympics.

As the name implies... It's played for 1 day :-)

Created in the late 70's for television. All the participating
countries have nice bright colourful uniforms that look good on telly.

Absolutely, and wooly-pully too! The sign of a true sport. The

great!


There are rumours the UK will introduce it in the 2012 Olympics, 
except they are worried *that* competition may not finish in time for 
the 2016 successor.

The rules used to be even simpler;

Two teams turn up for match, then Australia win.

England of course :-)

After a series of 5 games (tests) throughout the summer, Australia won 1,
England won 2, and 2 were drawn (like in chess).

As for being able to fathom the game - let's just say that most cricket
fans would probably eye American football with the same puzzlement

RE: Ashes (was: Rob Studdert)

England.

The game's easy really. Both sides go out, then the batsman who's in plays
till he's out then goes back in. When they've all finished their innings
they go back in and swap sides before they come out again, and when they're
all out they play another innings and go back in for tea. Then the
commentators eat a cake and Geoff Boycott tells us all how bad they all
were.

Your right it is Spring. In the evening & morning you really need the

Rob just one question with your profiles you made for us.
I have PSEL 3 with the Raw converter. I think its the same as the one for CS2, 
so they
should work for 
EL3, yes.??

Yes, I believe I was stretching the limits of my slow tele's
abilities, even w/ 1000asa film

both points well taken and I agree a better shot could have been

inside the house and the little guys were feeding off just this one
not so photogenicly placed bunch of flowers. They flitted from one
to another and this particular blossom did yield the best compositional
potential, as they approached it from the side. So, I focussed on
it and waited for one to come into position in the small open space.

They really are tiny, and as I have told many who seem amazed
at lenses longer than 200mm, 400-600mm is not really all that
long of an optic (of course they usually don't understand ;^).
I started out trying to shoot from outside in the yard, but they 
were way too spooked and split. Consequently my possibilities
for framing were rather restricted and I basicly shot for curiosity.

Oh, I saw the light triangular area. It was inevitable so I just
accepted it and attempted to at least make it "fit" decently up
in the corner. It is the sky, above a roofline of the backyard
neighbor's low shed. I really didn't want to crop out just the bird,
so I left "as is" with just minimal cropping into the print, which
was just a cheap-o 4x6. I doubt there would be much gained from
cropping, as the bird is so high in the frame.

;^)   I suppose we could claim it to be "FoundView"!8^)

> Still, a good shot!

Thanks, perhaps next time I will have a more photogenic 
arrangment - or a 2000mm lens so I can keep far enough away
that I don't scare the little guys off!  All in all, I was
pleased enough with the shot and being able to pull it off
with the gear at hand.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the thoughtful comments. I intentionally limited depth of
field here to draw attention to the one central flower that stands above
the rest. In fact, this frame has more DOF than the others I shot.
However, I found that the color in the out-of-focus foreground flowers
tended to band and posterize when I scanned the images, so I compromised
and scanned this frame rather than those shot at a larger stop. Of
course I can't say with any certainty that the limited DOF works
aesthetically, but that was my intent. Again, thanks for taking the time
to write about my photograph.
Paul

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the honest critique. I like to present less than perfect images 
particularly if I believe that there is a story to tell that would be forsaken in 
the pursuit of absolute sharpeness or perfect composition. Sometimes the 
environment or the dynamic nature of an event simply doesn't allow the 
photographer to be pedantic about such things.

The composition of this image is not optimum I agree, I did make some far 
more pleasing compositions in a vertical format however none of them had 
the set of expressions on the faces of the choristers like this one. Granted I 
could have cropped but I like to maintain the standard 35mm 2:3 aspect ratio 
if possible and to maintain the 2:3 ratio would have meant that I would have 
lost the flashlight reflections in the water (which I quite like).

Given the limited light available I was quite pleased with the outcome, many 
of the images that I made during the walk (about 24) were not usable due to 
excessive shake or very limited depth of field however there were a few 
images that made it all worth while. I suppose my main purpose in displaying 
images such as this on the PUG is to really encourage more conservative 
photographers to "give it a go". In other words don't write off any potential 
photographic opportunities because the situation looks too difficult, given the 
correct selection of equipment and media and a little bit of knowledge (that's 
what the PDML is for) it is often surprising what can be captured on film.

Some more shots from the same roll for those interested:

My PUG comments (for Paul Stenquist, Bill Casselberry, Gene Kane, Rob Studdert)

[Jan van Wijk]

OK, here are my commants for the may PUG, wich was again a remarkable 
collection of images ...


Paul Stenquist, " April Morning "

Well, this is my kind of picture! 
I like the way you can see the sun almost shining through the delicate leaves of the 
flowers.
Also, the thin green gras make a nice contrast to the yellow.
The sharpness is fine for most of the flowers, and fades away to the background,  nice 
bokeh.
One thing I find distracting in this image in the longer term is the unsharp flower in
the lower left corner. It draws my attention too much. I would prefer to have some 
more DOF
to have this flower sharp, or maybe to move the frame up a bit to get it out of the 
frame.
I guess an unsharp flower in the background would be less distracting.



Bill Casselberry, " Hummer "

Another nature picture, now including a hard to catch bird too.
It must be quite difficult to get enough DOF to get the flowers sharp, and still
use a fast enough shutter-time to freeze the birds motion ...
I like the overall picture, but there are two things that could have been better I 
think:
1) There is no real "main subject" I think, the hummer is a bit too small so it doesn't
catch attention right away. (also the wings are almost invisible at this point)
It would take a lot of patience and shots (and getting closer ?) to correct this 
though,
so I realize that was probably not an option at the time ...
2) The big light triangle at the upper right corner is distracting.
That probably would have been solved by a small change in camara position ...
I DO realize it is very hard to notice those little distracting thing on the edges 
while
you are litteraly focusing on a fast mover like the hummer.
You could make it less distracting by cropping the top off a bit as well I guess.
Still, a good shot!


Gene Kane, " Tree "

I nice peacefull image, it probably looks even more impressive in larger format!
Some parts of the tree seem to be pure silhouettes while most parts show a
lot of detail and grades of gray. I am wondering if that comes from the scanning?
The lower left area in the image doesn't add to the overall image, it is 'just a bush'
with a lot of detail that takes away attention from the tree ...
Another thing that probably comes from scanning is the border arround the picture
as it now shows on the PUG pages, there is both an unevenly sized small black
border and a wider white border. I don't like the combined effect of those.
Again, that is probably not in your print at all ...



Rob Studdert, " Acoustics "

An unusual place for photography I guess! 
But a very nice image capturing the "mood" amongst this group.
Must have been difficult shooting under those conditions.
Given the few sources of light available, the scene is remarkably well lit with
most persons in group recognizable.
Maybe I would crop a little from the left of the image, there is really nothing there. 
I am not sure the more square format would be still pleasing though ...
Nice shot!
