Re: Question - Barrel Distortion vs Perspective Distortion?
Perspective is not a distortion, if you accept that a distortion is a failure of an optical system to render a view accurately. We humans think that vertical perspective is a distortion because we are gravity bound creatures incapable of naturally controlling our movement through vertical space. Vertical displacement is irrelevent data that is largely disregarded by our brains. When we see an accurate photo featuring vertical perspective we are often surprised by something that was always there to be seen, but which we instinctively chose to ignore. The additional fact that our eyes have a spherical image plane, and that our brains selectively interpret what our eyes see could also be a factor. Sometimes being a photographer means opening your eyes to the visual assumptions we make all the time. regards, Anthony Farr On 10/11/2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can't call this a stupid newbie question, because I am not a newbie anymore. ;-) Previously I have not shot much with wide angles. I used my Canon 17-40 in Yosemite and thought I noticed some trees leaning in slightly in some shots. But only slightly. I have noticed a lot of distortion using the 16-45 on the K100D. While sometimes I don't mind this, other times I have been annoyed because I wasn't taking it into account. I am also reassessing the lens. However, I realize I am not all that clear on the difference between barrel distortion and perspective distortion. I also realize that getting more in the frame than normal perspective would allow must mean something will happen. I am curious if there is a formula for when perspective distortion will not occur, or some focal length at which it will not occur? Would about 45mm be the cut off point -- it won't occur at 45mm? As for barrel distortion, it seems to be depend on the lens. It seems people use brick wall to test for barrel distortion. Is that true, some wide angles have barrel distortion and some do not? Or do they all to some degree? As you can tell, I am not quite sure how to phrase this question. Basically what I want to know is when I shoot with the 16-45 when I will get some distortion and when I am likely not to. So I can take it into account and plan for it. And use the 16mm end or zoom in a bit more to avoid it when I want to avoid it. And anyone who wants to expound more on the difference between barrel distortion and perspective distortion, too, feel free. I am pretty clueless on the whole topic. I think this is perspective distortion... (which I don't mind in this case, but this is not the strongest example, just one I have shown) http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/temple2.htm I think this was may be barrel distortion. When I looked at it I found the lamp post leaning in, so I straighten the picture in Elements 5 with Transform/Skew. Hence the distortion isn't showing anymore, but it was there. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/bars.htm I can go back and look at exitf if needed, but I think the top was shot at 16mm and the lower one longer.

Godfrey = Well, yes, that is perspective. I.E. When one draws, well, I won't bother to discuss vanishing points, because I presume people know about them. To me perspective distortion goes a bit further than that. My short cut for perspective distortion is going to be 50mm. If I can shoot something with correct perspective at 50mm, when I move in closer with a wide angle, then I may have perspective distortion. And it will probably only be a major issue for me when shooting buildings. Sometimes fine, sometimes not. Though I may find an angle/distance formula somewhere that I can understand. But formulas are often a pain to try to use, especially in the field. I know architecture photographers have to worry about this stuff.

Fall greetings from Scandinavia
Hi all, Thought I'd just drop by to say hi, since I happen to be in the neighbourhood. Around here we are currently having typical late fall weather - rainy, windy, decreasing daylight and some (quickly disappearing)snow falling. Temperature still a few degrees above Celsius zero though. Although I haven't been posting in a long time I've still stayed subscribed. It's nice to see that this list continues to be a good one, providing good advice on all aspects of photography as well as being a generally friendly community, the occasional and obviously inevitable personal thrifts aside. Good to see so many old-timers still around, good to see new members having joined. I haven't had the time to follow everyone's work as posted in PESOS, GESOS, the PUG etc. but still it is inspiring to follow how much members continue to work on improving their shooting. As some of you may recall, I'm now shooting Canon since going digital two years back. Last winter my father passed away at old age after a number of years of declining health. He left me (and my sister) some funds, why I've had the opportunity to invest in some additional photo equipment. I've bought some good lenses and accessories, the 40D camera (keeping the 20D as a second), some studio equipment, a good flatbed scanner (Epson V700), printers as well as having upgraded my computer etc.. By all this it feels like a new start in many ways. I will be able to work at a more professional level and hopefully in the long run make investments pay.

But I also got the Silverfast software. However I haven't yet looked into it. What's the word on Silverfast? Any other comments, experiences, hints or advice on aspects I might overlook on the V700 very welcome. (Previously I have only been using the Minolta Dimage Scan Speed F-2800 film scanner and have never thought it to be very good, or it (bought second hand) may not be working properly.)

Anybody in the know about how negatives (or for that matter transparencies) go together with different kinds of plastic material? Thanks, Lasse The negative sheets that are commonly sold are 'archival' in that they won't emit anything dangerous to negatives. -Adam Thanks Adam, However, these are actually not negative sheets. They are mostly regular ones for (paper) copies of photos. But some of them may originally be intended for just anything... For instance in the past I've noticed that some plastic will stick to photocopied paper, absorbing the black etc., why I thought there may be very different qualities of plastics.

Re: I hate...
Actually I think they just lived in Italy at the time GRIN. As I have read more and more, I am coming to believe the Romans and the Greeks were the barbarians and that everyone around them were more civilized. Unfortunately they were the ones that left written records; these days it seems like most to those records were propaganda rather than history. But I guess that almost all written history is propaganda when you think about it a bit.

Re: GESO: Magnolia Gardens
These are all very nice. There are a few dust specks or artifacts from scanning, (hard to tell which), that you should probably edit out.

The specular reflection bouncing onto her shoulder and chest, causing the sharp shadows of her hair and the fold of her shoulder, is also distracting and should be softened.

Like the soft shoulders/upper body area.. The lighter right shoulder and hair shadow is subtle enough (for me) as to become a contour enhancing benefit. The clock reflections (flash?) are distracting. I want her face to be a little lighter, but then that may be my monitor again.

Re: GESO: Magnolia Gardens
There are some nice shots here--particularly #s 6, 7, and 9. These are all very nice. Thanks for taking the time to comment guys :) Sadly, the skink (gecko/salmander) looked about to run away as I approached, so I snapped what I could with the lens I had, and sure enough, the little guy ran off at the sound of my shutter. I tried to crop it down but the scan is pretty bad and my cropping makes it look like a thumbnail picture :) I think it looks good on film - the red makes the little guy really pop. There are a few dust specks or artifacts from scanning, (hard to tell which), that you should probably edit out. yes, the scanner was supremely dusty, but it was sheer luck that I was allowed to use it in quite a hurry - I will certainly try to eit those specks out though. They bother me too ;) 2 is nice, but you might consider a tighter crop to reduce the impact of the twig at top left. thanks! I didn't even notice that, I was so busy trying to catch all the flowers with dew on them. 8 is a nice scene, but is overexposed (esp. the top half). Did you use a graduated neutral-density filter? nope, I just blew it, but I like the picture enough anyways. 3 might benefit from cropping the left 40% and reducing the brightness. The dragonfly gets kinda lost in the background as it is. Thanks, you're right, it does look better with a good crop. 1 doesn't work for me; there is a lot of glare and no real subject or pattern to catch my interest. Really? That was my favorite, strange how everyone likes different things. thanks for the advice and comments! rg2 On 11/11/07, P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: These are all very nice.

Re: Photo Expo West and Pentax new equipment
2. The DA* 200 and the 300 (both SDM) were expected to appear in stores before Christmas. It is still possible they will, but it is not clear right now. FWIW - Photos a short write up about these two appear in the Nov. 07 issue of PC Photo on page 29. Both in very Nikon-ish trim. Kenneth Waller http://www.tinyurl.com/272u2f - Original Message - From: Igor Roshchin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Photo Expo West and Pentax new equipment I went today to the Photo Expo West (http://www.photoexpowest.com/) - a Photo Exposition organized in San Diego by Delkin. A few impressions and a few bits of information (FWIW). I had a chance to talk briefly with the West Coast distribution manager (or something like that) of Pentax. 1. Pentax SMC 18-250 is ready. They were showing the preproduction unit, and indicated that they expect the shipping to the stores very soon, possibly at the end of the next week, or the following week. (Boris, - I believe you were interested in that lens.) Regarding its design and manufacturing he responded that it is indeed based on the Tamron but manufactured by Pentax (it has Pentax glass), and it is manufactured in Japan (the one on display was labeled as such). The MSRP is set at $499. The external design and feel of the lens was exactly the same as that of the Tamron one that was also present at the show. 2. The DA* 200 and the 300 (both SDM) were expected to appear in stores before Christmas. It is still possible they will, but it is not clear right now. 3. DA* 60-250 will not be on the market before Christmas. It is unclear when, but it is possible that it will be late January, or at least by/before the PMA. 4. To my naive question about the rumored new body, he smiled and said that PMA will be interesting this year. That's all about Pentax. Overall, Pentax table was much smaller than that of either of Nikon, Canon, and even Tamron. Pentax's table was in the middle, which probably helped them a bit with attracting attention, but Nikon and Canon areas were much more crowded. Sony was in the back, so at least at the time I saw that table, 2 or 3 representatives were talking with only one visitor. I was impressed by the quality of the HP-branded canvas paper (and a black-and-white print by HP photo-jet printer on it). Sorry, I didn't register the printer model number, but I suspect it is the one competing against Epson R2400, costing, IRC, $699, including cartridges, which cost $33 each and can be replaced separately. These are the main impressions. Unfortunately, I had rather limited time, so I didn't have time to see what interesting was presented by N. and C. Actually, I was impressed by the size of a telescope-like looking Canon lense, mounted on a heavy-duty tripod. My wife who suggests that soon we'll need a pony to carry around my photo gear, agreed with me that that lens will be too heavy for the poor pony. That's all news, folks!

What say you? http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6628457size=lg This picture would look better cropped about square to eliminate the glarey highlight on the clock face and with a little work to remove the upper reflection of the lights in the top right of the clock face. The specular reflection bouncing onto her shoulder and chest, causing the sharp shadows of her hair and the fold of her shoulder, is also distracting and should be softened. The pose is a little odd: she's looking off somewhere and her eyes are dark, which does not engage the viewer. For a modeling shot, I'd be less inclined to use it.

GESO - migratory birds (help with identification please)
My wife and I made one of our occasional trips to the Squaw Creek National Conservation Area, about 1.5 hours north of our home. Currently hosting about 150,000 wildfowl including various eagles, hawks, and various ducks, geese, and other waterbirds. I am not pleased with my take for the day. This GESO has a couple of decent shots. I am primarily posting it in hopes that one of you can help identify two different duck species and one hawk. http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p47799857/ stan -- 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.
