I've had three photos accepted into the PPG

2011-05-03 Thread Larry Colen

I finally got the PPG sorted out, submitted a bunch of photos, then got busy 
and forgot to go back and check for a while.
http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/larrycolen

It's weird, it looked like it allowed me to submit a bunch, with several in the 
queue to be checked later, but it seems that only 10 were even judged. I am 
amused because I think that several of the declined photos are better and/or 
more interesting than the three that were accepted.
It'll be interesting to see which ones get through.

We will judge which are the better ones, thank you very much...

Seriously, however, congratulations. Somehow I have only minimal doubts 
of the almost inevitable fact that you will have more than just three or 
thirty images in PPG.

  very nice - I'm just back from an evening at Ronnie Scott's watching
 Pharaoh
  Sanders and his band - awesome.

 Lucky you!  Pix or it didn't happen. :-)
 

no pictures allowed, although the friend who invited me may have got one. If
he did I'll show it.

 Sometimes I wish I'd been born in the '30's so I'd have grown up during
 the 50's hot jazz scene -- much of my favourite music. It might as well
 be embalmed and displayed in museums now for all the attention it gets.
 Some of Canada's A-list players get $100 a gig at local bars like The
 Pilot in Yorkville.

I think these guys probably get more than that - Ronnie Scott's is quite
expensive.

In 30 years of living in London it's my first time at Ronnie Scott's. On the
other hand, I did once see Ronnie Scott play live, with Humphrey Littleton,
many years ago, at Kew Gardens and that was a lot of fun.

I have to admit I know next to nothing about jazz. I had never heard of
Pharaoh Sanders before yesterday. But some friends who are big fans of his
had booked a table and I went on the spur of the moment. Had a fantastic
time though - what a great band they are.

PUG Extra - PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses

2011-05-03 Thread Brian Walters
G'day all

A week or two back several people provided links to their photos that
were not selected for the 2011 PDML Annual. I suggested a special PUG to
display those images together, so that we could all enjoy them.

The PUG Submission form has been updated for this special Extra Gallery
and is now open for submissions.  You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/

Image constraints are the same as for the monthly PUGs:

* Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
* Max file size: 300k

The cut off date for submissions will be about 17 May.

Come on! Let's see 'em.

Now - can anyone suggest a better title for the gallery?  As most are
aware, the idea of submitting more than one photo for consideration for
the Annual was to give the editors scope to select images that best
fitted the context and layout of the Album.  This means that images not
included in the Annual were probably of similar quality to those that
were included.  So, I don't think refuses is an accurate title, but my
feeble brain can't come up with anything better.


Cheers

Re: GESO Jazz at the Gate

2011-05-03 Thread Bruce Walker

Thank you, Ann.

My winning formula in these small, dark music venues:

- fast, short tele prime (eg 50mm 1.4), wide open,
- high ISO (eg 1600 on the K20),
- RAW,
- aperture priority,
- places/things to brace yourself against while shooting (chair arms, 
table tops, walls),

- some noise reduction s/w in PP (LR3 is doing it for me now)
- if the brightest light is only on the musicians, use center or spot 
metering; otherwise matrix should be fine.


Lastly: worst-case, be prepared to pack it in and just enjoy the music. :-)

Re: PUG Extra - PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses

G'day all

A week or two back several people provided links to their photos that
were not selected for the 2011 PDML Annual. I suggested a special PUG to
display those images together, so that we could all enjoy them.

The PUG Submission form has been updated for this special Extra Gallery
and is now open for submissions.  You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/

Image constraints are the same as for the monthly PUGs:

* Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
* Max file size: 300k

The cut off date for submissions will be about 17 May.

Come on! Let's see 'em.

Now - can anyone suggest a better title for the gallery?  As most are
aware, the idea of submitting more than one photo for consideration for
the Annual was to give the editors scope to select images that best
fitted the context and layout of the Album.  This means that images not
included in the Annual were probably of similar quality to those that
were included.  So, I don't think refuses is an accurate title, but my
feeble brain can't come up with anything better.


Cheers

Re: I've had three photos accepted into the PPG

2011-05-03 Thread Ann Sanfedele
You get to submit 10 a week - I chuckled at that first one  - and liked 
the other two, though not my type of thing at all - very well done.
on your artist page it should list them in order of accepted, ready for 
review, and declined.


Someone on list told me in terms of the membership votes when you hit 12 
thumbs down before you get to 60 thumbs up
you're out.  Once you get to 60 thumbs up then the chiefs select.  

Someone suggested to me to resubmit something that was declined after 
awhile  as the membership seeing it would be different but
I tried with a couple, including  the ones in this years annual and they 
both got turned down... again...


I havent submitted much, because I don't have enough recent stuff that 
would make my cut... and when I got back to old
chromes I have to dig up my travel notes to see which camera I shot with 
and which lens... sometimes I know .. but sometimes
I didn't note exact lens.   the 50mm f2.0? or the 50mm f1.7?  Ive winged 
it a couple of times .. s..


anyway, congrats!

were even judged. I am amused because I think that several of the

We will judge which are the better ones, thank you very much...
   



It could be interesting input as to what to submit to the annual next year.

 


Seriously, however, congratulations. Somehow I have only minimal doubts of the 
almost inevitable fact that you will have more than just three or thirty images

Re: GESO Jazz at the Gate

2011-05-03 Thread Ann Sanfedele
I was shooting 1600 ,  -  RAW of course,   istD  
I always shoot ap  priority :-)
however, 1600 was much too noisy because of the low light.  and the 
venue was someone's loft.


The biggest problem was that the AWB let me down - and I didn't have a 
way to lean on anything...


worse, the camera was noisy... and I had not brought the tripod.  

The lighting was from track lights meant to light the artwork in the loft.  

The light was low because they musicians were sweltering and the windows 
ahd to stay closed because of the neighborhood.


wasnt fun...

Dom's girlfriend had a flimsy tripod for video shooting... when she 
abandoned it I tried to use it...but it didn't help much


anyway - between my instability and the digital noise I couldn't ever 
show them to you guys.

Thank you, Ann.

My winning formula in these small, dark music venues:

- fast, short tele prime (eg 50mm 1.4), wide open,
- high ISO (eg 1600 on the K20),
- RAW,
- aperture priority,
- places/things to brace yourself against while shooting (chair arms, 
table tops, walls),

- some noise reduction s/w in PP (LR3 is doing it for me now)
- if the brightest light is only on the musicians, use center or spot 
metering; otherwise matrix should be fine.


Lastly: worst-case, be prepared to pack it in and just enjoy the 
music. :-)

Re: PUG Extra - PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses

 G'day all

 A week or two back several people provided links to their photos that
 were not selected for the 2011 PDML Annual. I suggested a special PUG to
 display those images together, so that we could all enjoy them.

 The PUG Submission form has been updated for this special Extra Gallery
 and is now open for submissions.  You can submit here:

 http://pug.komkon.org/submit/

 Image constraints are the same as for the monthly PUGs:

 * Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
 * Max file size: 300k

 The cut off date for submissions will be about 17 May.

 Come on! Let's see 'em.

 Now - can anyone suggest a better title for the gallery?  As most are
 aware, the idea of submitting more than one photo for consideration for
 the Annual was to give the editors scope to select images that best
 fitted the context and layout of the Album.  This means that images not
 included in the Annual were probably of similar quality to those that
 were included.  So, I don't think refuses is an accurate title, but my
 feeble brain can't come up with anything better.


 Cheers

OT - again, about rights

2011-05-03 Thread Igor Roshchin

Dear All,

We discussed the legal aspects of using photos of the people
in various cases.
Now, I am trying to see how that applies to a video.
I am especially interested in hearing opinion of the people
who have dealt with similar issues.

A specific situation is as follows:
1. an event is open to public and includes dance classes;
2. the rules of the event do not forbid to take videos;
3. at the end of a dance class, the instructors offer everybody who wants
to take a video of a short summary (without stating any restrictions
on the use).

In this situation, what do you think, - can the people (instructors)
appearing in the video restrict the use of the videos taken at
a later point?
In particular, - do they have a right to demand that the video is not
posted publically (e.g. on Youtube) - retroactively?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this issue.

Igor

Re: A bit of a boast and my JAlbum book

2011-05-03 Thread Jaume Lahuerta
- Mensaje original 

 De: Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com
 
 Here is a link to the galleries:
 
 http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/index.html
 
 The photos  are in the same order as they appear in the book. Thus each
 pair of photos is  a spread.
 
 Accidentally one of the photos of Galia's book is obviously  heavily
 processed (by me). That's my mistake, really.
 
 As you can see,  most of these are PESOs, PUGs and some of them
 appeared in PDML Annual books  by Mark. But I should say that in print
 they look better than on the screen.  At least to me, although of
 course I am not a disinterested party  here.
 

Some nice pictures there, Boris, thanks for sharing.
Others are not that impressive if looked separately, but I understand  that 
they 
are part of the story that you want to tell with the whole  book. I am sure 
that 
the printed version is better for this.

Regards,
Jaume

They have the right to ask, but don't have any legal recourse if you don't 
comply. 

Instructors often make money off of selling instructional videos, and don't 
want other videos to wipe out the market for those. If they get a lot of grief 
over one case like this, they may just not let people videotape them after 
classes at all in the future.  The best solution would be to try to have a 
reasonable discussion with them, find out their motivations for taking the 
video down and see whether it would really work towards their ultimate goals.

It's too bad that you aren't on FB, this would be a great question for Bug 
Brockway's Dance Question of the Day.

Anybody remember?


the solution i use (for those lists i read on gmail) is to filter all my 
list email into mailboxes; in the Gmail paradigm, filtering is done by 
applying a label to messages as they come in, and specifying in the 
rule that the messages should also skip the inbox; you can then treat 
all messages with a given label much as you'd treat a mailbox in a 
traditional email client, and your own messages will be included in that 
view; there's still a difference -- messages you send will be treated as 
already read, so they will be included in the conversations (dumbed-down 
threads), but they won't appear to be new, unread messages


you can also treat Gmail as an IMAP server and use a desktop email 
client to manage your email


Gmail's help system and other sites have decent tutorials on these 
subject that you can google up

I added the 4+ and 1+ close up filters to get the following capture:

A very gracious person sent me two free lenses with the stipulation that I

better lenses. They arrived in the mail on Saturday.

 G'day all

 A week or two back several people provided links to their photos that
 were not selected for the 2011 PDML Annual. I suggested a special PUG to
 display those images together, so that we could all enjoy them.

 The PUG Submission form has been updated for this special Extra Gallery
 and is now open for submissions.  You can submit here:

 http://pug.komkon.org/submit/

 Image constraints are the same as for the monthly PUGs:

 * Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
 * Max file size: 300k

 The cut off date for submissions will be about 17 May.

 Come on! Let's see 'em.

 Now - can anyone suggest a better title for the gallery?  As most are
 aware, the idea of submitting more than one photo for consideration for
 the Annual was to give the editors scope to select images that best
 fitted the context and layout of the Album.  This means that images not
 included in the Annual were probably of similar quality to those that
 were included.  So, I don't think refuses is an accurate title, but my
 feeble brain can't come up with anything better.


 Cheers

Re: OT - again, about rights

2011-05-03 Thread Igor Roshchin

Larry,

I am interested in the legal aspect of the discussed situation: 
Does the subject of a video, if he/she didn't object/restrict the 
recording as it was happening openly, have a right to make any 
demands with respect to the non-commercial distribution of the video 
(if no money is made from that/charged).


As for the attitude of different instructors, - this is a completely
separate issue. My take on it is that the best instructors
do not fear their short (usually without any explanations) class
summaries to be posted. 
Brief class summaries do not replace class participation and
instructions; nor they compete with the instructional videos sold by the
instructors. 
These videos are a great advertisement for the events and instructors
Several dance instructors thanked me for posting videos of their 
demonstrations on Youtube.

Those instructors who seriously think that their class can be replaced 
with a short, typically 1-2 min, summary, - are not worth my time
for going to their lessons.

 They have the right to ask, but don't have any legal recourse if you
 don't comply. 
 
 Instructors often make money off of selling instructional videos, and
 don't want other videos to wipe out the market for those. If they get a
 lot of grief over one case like this, they may just not let people
 videotape them after classes at all in the future.  The best solution
 would be to try to have a reasonable discussion with them, find out
 their motivations for taking the video down and see whether it would
 really work towards their ultimate goals.
 
 It's too bad that you aren't on FB, this would be a great question for
 Bug Brockway's Dance Question of the Day.

 The photos are in the same order as they appear in the book. Thus each

 Accidentally one of the photos of Galia's book is obviously heavily
 processed (by me). That's my mistake, really.

 As you can see, most of these are PESOs, PUGs and some of them

 they look better than on the screen. At least to me, although of

It depends on the legal system that has jurisdiction.

Just look at the issues that Google is having with StreetView;
there's no uniformity in what they are or are not allowed to

  don't want other videos to wipe out the market for those. If they get a
  lot of grief over one case like this, they may just not let people
  videotape them after classes at all in the future.  The best solution
  would be to try to have a reasonable discussion with them, find out
  their motivations for taking the video down and see whether it would
  really work towards their ultimate goals.

Igor, get away with what you can or you'll spend more time worrying
about what you have got and not enough time worrying about what you
should have got!

Ignorance is bliss. Shoot til they tell you to stop. Never hand over
material or delete. Be friendly, ask where you can, feign indifference
where you can't. I get people telling me I can't film all the time. I
listen sympathetically and nod reassuringly and carry on doing what I
need to ;)

Re: PUG Extra - PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses

2011-05-03 Thread Toralf Lund

G'day all

A week or two back several people provided links to their photos that
were not selected for the 2011 PDML Annual. I suggested a special PUG to
display those images together, so that we could all enjoy them.

The PUG Submission form has been updated for this special Extra Gallery
and is now open for submissions.  You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/
Submitted now ;-) I only got one in the book (being an *amateur* 
photographer and all), so there were two rejects, and I sent both. Is 
that acceptable? If not, you'll have to pick one, and I'll save the 
other for the PDML Photo Annual 2011 Refuses Refuses...


- Toralf


Image constraints are the same as for the monthly PUGs:

* Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
* Max file size: 300k

The cut off date for submissions will be about 17 May.

Come on! Let's see 'em.

Now - can anyone suggest a better title for the gallery?  As most are
aware, the idea of submitting more than one photo for consideration for
the Annual was to give the editors scope to select images that best
fitted the context and layout of the Album.  This means that images not
included in the Annual were probably of similar quality to those that
were included.  So, I don't think refuses is an accurate title, but my
feeble brain can't come up with anything better.

Re: A bit of a boast and my JAlbum book

2011-05-03 Thread Jaume Lahuerta
No problem, all the contrary. Maybe it will be easier with examples:

I find some pictures 'beautiful', even without a context:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP01863.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IMGP1955-Edit.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11335.html

(...)

Others are nice, mainly for the moment showed:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP12896.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP12825.html


And I find others more so-so...
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K5_00854.html

Not bad but I prefer the following one and it is a bit redundant too. However, 
I 
am sure that a double page in a photo book with both pictures looks very nice 
(I 
am very used to see fruit trees in my home town though).
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_01676.html

(This is for me a 'descriptive' picture, but not specially beautiful 
visually...maybe I am missing a joke with the traffic sign, then it will go to 
category 2 ;-) )
Another 'just' descriptive:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_08307.html


Also, the two 'desert' landscapes are interesting, but the light is too 
'vertical', which for me makes them more descriptive than 'artistic' (I have to 
admit that this happens a lot to me when traveling and not being able to chose 
when to photograph)
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11186.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11154.html


Other with a too 'normal' light:
http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/K7_11448.html

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/Israel%20by%20Boris/slides/IGP13978.html


I hope that you get what I am trying to say. I admit that, how I said before, I 
am kind of used to some of the subjects shown so I need special light or point 
of view to get my attention.

Honest and brutal, as you like to say...
;-)

Jaume

Re: OT - again, about rights

2011-05-03 Thread John Francis

In the US, if you are in a place open to the general public, and
no prior restrictions were put in place as a condition of your
admission, you can generally make non-commercial use of your
own images, videos, etc.

There are some restrictions (you aren't allowed to photograph
the TSA screeners at the airport, for example), but that's the
general rule.
 
Mind you, you'll get a whole lot of grief if you try to take
pictures in a public area showing small children at play.
And some jurisdictions try to claim it's an offence to take
pictures of the Police if they don't want you to.  While as far
as I know no such legislation has stood up to a legal challenge,
you can end up with a whole lot of grief if you insist.

More relevant to your case, perhaps, might be the example of
seasonal displays at shopping malls (Santa's Grotto, the Easter
Bunny, etc.).  There will usually be explicit notices stating
that using your own camera is prohibited.  While I'm not sure
that they could actually do anything to prevent you (other than
ask you to leave), I'd generally recommend that one should comply
with such requests.  But in the absence of such a notice, there's
not a lot they can do a posteori.

Congratulations.  Every time I have gone to make a presentation,
whether photographs or work related, the quality of my work improves.
I hope your efforts have the same benificial effects.  It's an extra

Regards,  Bob S.
 


Thanks, Bob. It was a bit of a challenge and a fun too...

Here is a link to the galleries:

http://liberman-family.com/boris/pics/Books/index.html

The photos are in the same order as they appear in the book. Thus each
pair of photos is a spread.

Accidentally one of the photos of Galia's book is obviously heavily
processed (by me). That's my mistake, really.

As you can see, most of these are PESOs, PUGs and some of them
appeared in PDML Annual books by Mark. But I should say that in print
they look better than on the screen. At least to me, although of
course I am not a disinterested party here.

So do I.  It's just that it might suggest that the images that didn't

Still, if most are happy with Salon des refusés, we might stick with

I've cropped it to make it suitable as a header.

The third one has really nice geometry... so.. did he hit the ball out

Not much chance of that unless Mark has them stashed somewhere - I don't

I've got them yesterday fully charged in the camera, and after I took
about 70-80 pictures today they've got depleted... But it sounds quite
awful that overnight in the camera + not even 100 pictures is what I can
get from a set of 2000mAH batteries... Or shall I try Lithium ones?

Does anyone has the same experience or is it only me?

Regards,

The short answer is that Pentax digital bodies seems to be especially 
sensitive to cell voltage and will indicate low-bat way before the 
cells are actually depleted. Power-cycling the camera will get you more 
time, I've found. It could just be that the battery-level detection 
circuit design is fubar.


But you can get batteries that exhibit less voltage droop before losing 
most of their charge. Try the newer 2450 mAH Energizers. Also try the 
... and here I will reduce my voice to an almost inaudible whisper ... 
Sanyo Eneloops.  Many here, including me, swear by them, though never 
out loud.


I have no experience of the lithium rechargeables, but I'd love to hear 
reports.
