Re: PESO - Merc number 2

2008-01-22 Thread Cotty
Thanks to all who responded (after I went to bed), some very kind
comments. I originally had this as a B+W conversion, and oddly enough,
square. The blue lines presented themselves better on the image than in
person, so I went with the colour version. I was mainly interested in
the (straight, curving, circular) lines.

Thanks again.

 Nothing odd about that rim, looks like a standard 36 spoke rim, partially 
 built.

I've looked at it again and you're right.  I just got the impression that it 
had half the holes on the first view, for some reason.

 The plane of sharpest focus is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch closer to the 
viewer.  It looks like her right eye is within the range of acceptable 
focus but not the plane of critical focus.  At normal portrait shooting 
distances, (about 4 1/2 feet), DOF is about an 1 1/3 inches, if her 
right eye was the plain of critical focus her  left eye would be in 
acceptable focus, it isn't..Her fingertips which appear to be in the 
same plane or just a bit, maybe 1/3 inch, behind the plane of her right 
eye,  are a bit soft. Her lips are sharp as is the tip of her nose.  
When I'm tired this sort of thing bothers me more than when I'm rested, 
I guess my brain won't correct for it.Right now it's a lovely 
portrait, when I'm tired it makes my head hurt, well not hurt really, 
but I experience a mental frustration, kind of like i have an itch I 
can't scratch.

Re: PESO: cosina image

2008-01-22 Thread pnstenquist
With her head turned as it is, I would gues her left eye is more than 1/ 1/3 
inches further from the lens than her right eye. The camera could very well be 
focused on her right eye. In fact, the tip of her nose appears t be slightly 
soft. In any case, it matters not. It's an excellent portrait.
Paul
 -- Original message --
From: P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  The plane of sharpest focus is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch closer to the 
 viewer.  It looks like her right eye is within the range of acceptable 
 focus but not the plane of critical focus.  At normal portrait shooting 
 distances, (about 4 1/2 feet), DOF is about an 1 1/3 inches, if her 
 right eye was the plain of critical focus her  left eye would be in 
 acceptable focus, it isn't..Her fingertips which appear to be in the 
 same plane or just a bit, maybe 1/3 inch, behind the plane of her right 
 eye,  are a bit soft. Her lips are sharp as is the tip of her nose.  
 When I'm tired this sort of thing bothers me more than when I'm rested, 
 I guess my brain won't correct for it.Right now it's a lovely 
 portrait, when I'm tired it makes my head hurt, well not hurt really, 
 but I experience a mental frustration, kind of like i have an itch I 
 can't scratch.

Thanks Paul.  Thats what I tried to accomplish.  I figured that if at
least one eye was sharp, the whole image would turn out alright.  I
love the bokeh of this lens.

the lens is so bright, when I try to manually focus with f4 lenses
like the 16-45, its like peering down a dark tunnel.

Thanks Bob.  I tried to focus on her right eye, but my eyesight isn't
what it used to be, and these tiny viewfinders dont help either. :(
But it appears to me that the right eye and eyebrows seem to be in
sufficient focus to be acceptable.

PESO - Abandoned Chimney

2008-01-22 Thread Eactivist
Raining again, so back to the  archives.

Nothing special, just something I've always liked.

Taken  on my Redwood trip in 2006. On the way home I spotted a chimney, no 
remains of  the house, by the side of the road in bushes. 

Just liked the colors and  textures and the way, to me, it looked like a 
really, really old ruin (South  American ruin in jungle type of  thing).

Nice photo,  raises a lot of questions.

No idea, it had absolutely no remaining building with it  and had obviously 
stood alone for years. Although I did discover a small cat  (construction type 
cat) also behind the bushes about five-ten feet down the  road. (Also took a 
picture of it, but not worth viewing.) Looked like someone  was going to 
demolish it completely, so I caught it just in time.

As to  the second question, see my next PESO.

Thanks for looking.

The ZigView product is tempting because it's both a wireless and wired
shutter release. I wanted to know if anyone owns one and can comment on
it's functionality.
Also, the Pentax remote does not have a bulb setting.

 I wanted to find information about wireless/wired remotes for the

 So does Canon, the E3 remotes for the Rebels are compatible with all
 Pentax DSLR's.


I have no experience with the Zigview.

The Pentax Cable Switch CS-205 (and Canon Remote Switch RS-60E3)  
wired remotes work exactly like the on-body shutter release and add  
the nicety of a lock for the release button, allowing extended time  
exposures on Bulb without having to keep the button pressed. The  
Canon one is a little cheaper and has a longer cable.


The infrared Pentax Remote F allows only single exposures per press  
of the button, you cannot elect continuous drive mode while using the  
remote. Other things about it:
- It will hold the shutter open for as long as you hold the button  
down in Bulb exposure mode.

- The body can be set to release the shutter with or without AF  
focusing first (the default is without).

- If the body is set to 3sec-remote, it does the mirror pre-fire like  
the self timer mode with the on-body or cable remote releases.

- If the body is set to auto-bracket, you must press the IR remote's  
button for each exposure in the bracket sequence.

Yes, it will could have been. Handmade stone fireplace and it was in an  area 
that a pioneer cabin could have been. Also could have been 1940 era, when  
stone fireplaces were the style for cabins. But I doubt it, they were usually  
round stones. Well, it felt old, whether that means anything. :-)

 Hi!

 For some reason my previous posting of week 01 did not return any
 comments... So here is another attempt.

 http://pentax-ways.blogspot.com/2008/01/paw-2008-week-02.html

I'm not seeing any boats or cut-off masts or anything like that, as
there's no image for me, just a blog post.



 Just in case, here is the direct link to the previous week post:

Subject: Re: Wireless/Wired Shutter Release for the K10D (ZigView R3 UT)




 The ZigView product is tempting because it's both a wireless and wired
 shutter release. I wanted to know if anyone owns one and can comment on
 it's functionality.
 Also, the Pentax remote does not have a bulb setting.

I can't comment on the zig view, I try to stay away from third party 
equipment.
The Pentax K10D does have a bulb setting, the wired remote has a switch 
lock, and the shutter can be locked open in bulb using the wired remote.
I don't know what more you would want from the equipment, it will do exactly 
what you are asking.

I love ruins.

Makes me wonder who lived there, what became of their lives, why the
place was simply left abandonned and not razed and/or reconstructed.
So much unknown history!

Lovely shot, Marnie.

Re: PESO - Abandoned Chimney

2008-01-22 Thread P. J. Alling
I was thinking 1890's to about the 1930's.  Rubble stone began to go 
away when labor became more expensive than cast concrete, or uniform 
brick.  Around 1940 it building a fireplace became a trade job as 
opposed to a craft job, so bricks pretty much replaced rubble stone.

For reasons more articulately stated by others, this seems out of
balance.  Feels like it should either be tighter or wider.

Still, a wonderful photo!
