Another one from the lock at Lanaye. One single hand-held shot, no
tripod, no HDR, no plug-ins, no nothing.

K-5, SMC-M 2/35 mm, f 4, 1/15 sec, ISO 1600

Indeed.  But if you had seen the state of the historical artefacts when I last 
did, you may well have wept.  I nearly did.  They at least deserved to be 
preserved, not left to rot.  

The KM folk, who may or may not be in cahoots with the owners of the collection 
at Milntown (which is not on public display yet), seem to keep their collection 
on the road - I often see old bikes riding in convoy, and grand it sounds.  I'm 
fairly sure I've seen some of the Milntown horde riding out, too.  For me, this 
is a better option.  Unrestored racebikes are on show most TT and MGP weeks: 
the best of both worlds?

Subject: OT: Recovering from Thanksgiving and Black Friday

I hope everyone here in the US had a great Thanksgiving, and is on the
road to recovery.

After a nice traditional meal at home (turkey and much, much more),
with family and friends, we had a full Black Friday (The traditional
start of Christmas shopping in the US).  My idea of shopping is going
on line, or doing it the old-fashioned way -- by catalogs.

Nevertheless, yesterday I found myself in the belly of the beast.

In the morning, my wife and her friend hit  Flemington (a country town
nearby with lots of factory outlets) for some quick bargains, while I
did some yard work.  Then, we headed into the City.  On Black Friday.
Insane.

We took the train into The City, then walked from Penn Station the 25
blocks or so to The Park.  Broadway was almost impassable at points,
with shoppers, tourists and theater-goers. We had an early -- and
hearty -- dinner at the Russian Tea Room (slightly to the left of
Carnegie Hall, and just south of the park).  Then, since we had some
time, we headed over to Fifth Avenue, which was even more festive, and
every bit as crowded, as Broadway.  We stopped to enter the confusion
and chaos of the busiest store in the City:  the flagship Apple Store
at Fifth Avenue and 58th.
(http://images.apple.com/retail/fifthavenue/gallery/images/photo1.jpg).
 If there is a recession, you couldn't tell from this place;  there
was a line of people entering, and we could hardly move around on the
main retail floor, below street level.

We then walked south on Fifth Avenue, past all the expensive fashion
and jewelry stores, to St Pat's and Rockefeller Center, which was also
mobbed.  The tree was up but undecorated, the skaters were waltzing on
the ice below the square, and shoppers and tourists bumped into one
another every few inches.  Even before the lighting of the big tree,
the decorations were sumptuous.

Finally, we fought our way back to 45th and Broadway, to the Golden
Theater, and the ultimate goal of the evening: Driving Miss Daisy,
with Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones.  It is a very good play,
but that is quite besides the point.  Watching two of the greatest
actors of our time playing against each other was an overwhelming
experience, and everything we had hoped for.

Finally, the hour and a quarter train ride home, to warm up and loosen
up in the hot tub before collapsing in exhaustion.  Quite a day for
three old fogies from Jersey and Baltimore.

Thanks Miserere and all. I am back, sorta.
My operation Monday turned into a bit of a saga. The procedure before mine was 
delayed for 4 hours as they worked to bring temperature/humidity within specs 
in the OR. And the one before mine took 5 hours. So it was 4:30 p.m. or so 
before they got started on me. I was then in the hospital for another 40+ hours 
of discomfort before being released today. Am now at my brother's where I will 
stay for another week or so, with the first (only?) follow-up visit scheduled 
for next Monday. This is really all quite miraculous considering the recovery 
time required prior to laprascopic robo-surgery, but that doesn't make me feel 
all that much more comfortable. I won't know more about the cancer until I get 
the biopsy results next week, but the surgeon says everything went smoothly, no 
issues, no surprises.

The stump is about five feet in front of my front door.  It's hard not to 
notice things to photograph on it.

I really was trying to photograph the stump, preferably getting a shot of the 
stump and the mushrooms.  When I started digging it out, I noticed how 
wonderfully tentacular the root system is.  Last night was my first attempt at 
photographing it. My goal is to use light to isolate the roots from the 
background, but I'm having a tough time trying to figure out how to do that.

I hope to get back to physically isolating the roots more in the near future. 
With more space between them and the dirt, visual isolation may be easier.  I'm 
very interested in suggestions on how to do this.

Boris, last night it only got down to about 5C, most of the last week it was 
down to about 1C and was feeling really chilly.  And, yes, I realize how 
spoiled I am to complain that the temperature got almost down to freezing in 
November.


Dave, yes, I was going specifically for that B-movie tentacular monster effect.

Subject: New to list / acronyms

Hi, I've been lurking for a few days here.  I'm from the Midwest.  I
bought my first DSLR about two weeks ago, a K-x  with the 18-55mm,
55-300mm lens kit.  I've got a 50mm M f/1.7 on the way, as well as a
polarizer and graduated filter.  I also picked up a cleaning kit with
rocket blower and a manfrotto tripod and head.  No one told me the
peripherals were going to cost so damn much.  I feel like I'm
hemorrhaging money.  LOL  It's sad but true.

I know next to nothing about photography.  I've read "Understanding
Exposure" by Bryan Peterson and "The Digital Photography Book" by
Scott Kelby; both have been a good introduction I think.  I'm
currently reading "Creative Nature & Outdoor Photography" by Brenda
Tharp.  Next on the list is "The Photographer's Eye" by Michael
Freeman.  If anyone has suggestions as to which other books I should
be reading, I'm all ears.

I've never used any image manipulation type software other than
Picassa.  I'm a Linux user and have evaluated Bibble 5 for a couple
evenings.  It's crashed on me a few times and sucks all available
memory and some swap when it imports RAW and builds thumbnails.  I
might have to break down and get a MAC at some point, if all Linux
image software is this crash prone.  Bibble does have some cool tricks
though.  I really like the heal/clone thing but I suppose other
software packages have something similar.

OK, I do have a question:

Is there a page defining the acronyms used here, like: PESO, GESO,
PAW?  If not, could someone enlighten me?

Thanks,
Kent

In truth, we're a bit more mature than the others. We've been around for a 
dozen years and wore out the hand-wringing thing a while back. I think we've 
learned that there will inevitably be problems with anything as complex as a 
DSLR, and sometimes we have to be a bit patient while those problems are sorted 
out. More importantly, we have other things to talk about: beer, coffee, guns, 
personal issues, etc. Oh, and pictures. We actually talk about pictures much 
more than we talk about the cameras that take the pictures. That's a healthy 
thing.

The most commonly-seen wording is:

 "When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout"

  Lazarus Long/Robert A. Heinlen - "Time Enough for Love", 1973

but the couplet didn't originate there - it was in common usage in
the U.S. Navy (probably where RAH picked it up) 25 years earlier.

Catherine is foreign name for russians that have been adapted as Katarina.

Just checked on my repair status at C.R.I.S. and I was amused/worried by the 
entries in the field labeled "Equipment Condition".  It's clear that I don't 
baby my camera - I *use* it: "SCRATCHES; DINGS; SCUFFS; BOTTOM CASING 
EDGES/CORNERS DINGED/WORN; GUNK UNDER BATTERY DOOR & IN SCREWS ;SCUFFS 
AROUND FOCUS DRIVE RING"

Ouch!  And that's with only a half-year of use.  FWIW, I have no idea what 
the "gunk" is.

Subject: OT: Surgery follow-up

After some processing delays and a bit of phone tag, I finally got the 
pathology results today from my prostate surgery 2+ weeks ago. All very 
positive - the cancer was contained within the body part they removed, 
absolutely no sign of any spread beyond that location. I had been quite 
optimistic from the beginning based on comments from several urologists and the 
fact that my cancer was identified quite early. But 'tis a relief to have 
confirmation!

I have now become an advocate for periodic physical exams. I was lucky - I had 
been many years without a physical, but for no particular reason decided to 
have a full work-up this summer. Listen to the voice of experience guys! Go get 
a PSA test.

And now back to the celebratory bottle of wine . . .

the Liljenquist Family recently donated their rare collection of almost 
700 ambrotype and tintype photographs to the Library of Congress.


An exhibition entitled “The Last Full Measure,” will be held in the 
Library of Congress, Thomas Jefferson Building, from April 12 until 
August 13, 2011.

Fine story and I enjoyed it (thanks) but there's an ethical question

struggling with a problem to which you know the answer, is there any
moral obligation to share it with them? The answer, clearly, is "It

Reading that blog I see that I'm not alone in my frustrations with
camera straps. I hate anything, including camera's and ties, hanging
from my neck. The short standard camera neck straps are extremely
annoying. The camdapter hand strap combined with a Optech shoulder
strap is what I use now. I'll try the camdapter sling and the next
option is the Luma.
Maybe mounting an L bracket is an option but L brackets on the K20
block the little door on the left side...

I used to have one of those - excellent as I recall.  I passed mine on
to my son after I picked up a Tokina ATX 24-40.  Sadly, the Tokina is
cactus but he still  uses the Sigma from time to time on his K20D.

I /love/ my F-2.  My cat did something untoward to one, so I got 
another one.  It's a little big for the one camera, two lenses, sort of 
situation I think you originally described, but it's an awesome bag, and 
you can put a weekend's worth of fresh clothes in the parts not occupied 
by the camera and two lenses.

Damn you Roberts.

Extra length panatella for you.

Tis true...

After pumping out the ink into the sink, I noticed that the small yellow
sticker, complete with the words 'pull here' was flapping idly about

Stef looked at it and said ' oh yeah, I wondered what that was for'

The idea is that air is allowed to enter the tank to replace volume
sucked out by the ink. We were basically trying to suck a fart out of a
dead dingo with it's mouth taped shut.

Live and learn eh, Stef knows how to properly install a tank now. And to
rub the salt in, he's getting seriously good with the pics. He was
printing out some Prague architecture and I'm standing there just
whimpering

Evenin all.

I'm totally against the death penalty (sorry for starting a political thread).

But in the case of the person who colourized this photo:

http://alaintruong.canalblog.com/archives/2009/04/15/13399690.html

I say, "string him up!"

When I was answering Darren Addy on another thread, I was looking for
a proper rendition of this masterpiece to tack onto my reply.  When
doing a Google search I came across this (there were a few others that
were colourized, too).

Why would anyone do this?

Why?

I'm outraged.

why leave the 77 out?  It takes up so little room. The 40 is close to the 50 in

for now, yes, bring a supply of large ziploc bags. whenever going from

I shot Grace tonight in a nearly dark room, with illumination provided mainly 
by an iPad screen. k-5, DA* 60-250/4, f4, 1/20th, 75mm, ISO 8000.

The K-5 with the new firmware easily locked focus. The focus assist light 
blinked, which probably helped. Of course it always seemed to focus well in low 
light without the firmware upgrade.

Subject: Re: Pentax glass on m4/3: weird behavior

The hugely expensive Novoflex adapters are only really necessary with
Pentax lenses that do not have an aperture ring. They allow manual
adjustment of the aperture by providing a secondary ring which moves
the iris actuator mechanism, similar to but more flexible than what I
used to do with the DA21 and DA70 when adapted to the L1 (I just stuck
a little museum putty between the iris actuator and the adapter to set
the lens opening I wanted to use).

It has nothing to do with AE ... No lens adapter made that I've seen
does the auto-iris thing. Auto Exposure is supported with any adapter
in aperture priority mode: you set the lens opening you want and the
camera sets the shutter speed to match it. Camera's don't need
aperture position information to meter correctly that way.

If Dune novels were about Svalbard, the planet of snow instead of

Hello list,

There seems to be quite a number of you folks out there who now have 
newer DSLRs with video capabilities.  It's been a year or more since 
these cameras came online but I don't see any VideoESOs flying past in 
the PDML.
Granted, I don't check the list as often as I used to and I don't read 
nearly as many of your messages as I once did (I AM still watching you 
though...Cotty... and Frank... and Doug) but I figured by now video 
submissions would be a common occurrence around here.


Is video a gimmick feature that you just don't use?
Are your videos too racy? (let us judge ;)
Is making decent videos just too hard?
Or are you guys just too much the "old dog" type or even "purists"?

For my part, having at least six video cameras lying around the house 
(I'm actually surprised by this number but I'm counting the cell phones 
and P&S cameras + 1 "Flip" style camera), I find that the same problems 
that have plagued us since the days of film-based home movies.  Just 
rolling during family events and outings produces lots of crap footage 
that nobody really wants to edit into a package that anyone besides 
Grandma would want to watch.

So, Why no VESOs, y'all?

Cory

G'day all

Just a reminder the that PUG theme for April is 'Memories of
Kodachrome'.  So far just 2 submissions plus 2 for the Open Gallery.

So soon we forget

You can, of course, interpret the theme as loosely as you think you can
get away with.  And there's always the Open Gallery.

OT but just thought i would share.

The survey company i worked for used Leica equipment for about 99.9%
of their work. Proven reliablility and the transits and total stations
worked at -35C.
In 1994, the powers that be thought they would save money and buy into
the Sokkia system of total stations. Less money, did almost the same
job, but with more steps to get to the results.(almost like a Canon
Dslr menu setup)

They had a Q&A with the party chiefs and the one question i asked the
sales rep was, "do they work at -35C.??"

Answer, "They should"

Result, they did not.

PPS. Larry, to answer seriously, besides the color boost that you've already
done, you can play with suppressing the highlights and bringing up the
shadows, decreasing the contrast, and playing with the curve.
Or, if you have a PS, - to separate the photo into (two?) layers,
and change their brightness separately.

I was asking similar questions on PDML back in Dec of 2007 or Jan of
2008. 
Here is an example of the shots I was dealing with:

Love the 40LTD for it's field of view, hate the lens for everything else 
so
I decided that perhaps a 43 LTD was in my future, and probably sooner 
rather than later.

Looked on Adorama's website and thought the price was OK, especially 
since the Canadian $ is a few cents more valuable than the Greenback, so 
I ordered one.
And the day it arrived, I noticed that Adorama had raised the price a 
hundred and fifty bucks over what I paid.
Somehow I luck out quite often on these things.
Anyway, it seems like an OK lens.
And winter here appears to be no longer hanging on like a wet turd on a 
dog's behind, so I might actually go out and use it one of these days.

Something I first learned about working in the high end audio game in the early

each. Speakers, or any component in a audio chain from source onward, In this 
case, having each of the two images of the tulip stacked on top of each other, 
and switching back and forth. I probably should have written it as A:B to make 
it more clear.

okay -- i'll bite; i find Erwin Puts' essay to wishy-washy; it's 
internally contradictory; he seems to romanticize film process as if it 
were purely intuitive, yet he then warns against "common sense"

Puts seems to define professionalism as technical mastery (to me it is 
as much about ethics, efficiency and emotional detachment), but 
accepting his definition, i would disagree with him overall that 
technical mastery must conflict with craft

this is hardly unique to photography -- i think of how a grounding in 
CPU instruction sets and binary logic, of which i'm rarely conscious 
these days, gave me confidence and trained my mind for much more 
abstract programming; and i think of how my rudimentary technical 
knowledge of sailing has held me back despite a strong intuitive sense 
of the helm from an entire teen-hood of intense practice

i think there are many valid paths; one wonders if Puts' self-expressed 
attunement to film and exposure came about without any rigorous 
technical work ... that can happen, but when it does it usually comes 
from intense, if intuitive, practice and/or that unconscious genius 
which silently computes and internalizes technical knowledge for a few 
lucky people (as it struck me when Bob Sullivan recently commented that 
Gallia's "gonna be mighty good by the time she's a teenager, and she 
won't really know why.")

so genius can "take care of it", practice can breed intuition without 
technical understanding, and study of details can allow one to rise 
above details; or any combination thereof

Don't bother -- get two pairs of glasses: readers and computer. That's 
what I concluded and it works well.  Reading glasses are focused closer 
than monitor glasses.

Yes, in the following sense.  My optometrist asks me what my intended 
use for the glasses is, I say "computer monitor", he gets me to sit in 
front of an LCD monitor as I would normally, measures distances and 
adjusts the prescription accordingly. Voila! "monitor glasses".

I did have to change optometrists when the crusty old guy couldn't 
understand my request. The new guy said, of course! Knew exactly what I 
was complaining about.
