PESO - Waterfight!
This is one of my favorite photos. Taken long ago with a Spotmatic. I missed the focus. They ran from a brightly lit part of the yard into shadow and I didn't react fast enough so the original was underexposed. Just think, if I had the fancy auto-focus, auto-exposure camera of today it would be be a technical masterpiece! Well, probably not. More likely it would be mis-focused and poorly exposed in a different way. I scanned it from a 13 year old faded slide, cropped it, tried to fix the exposure, and cloned out a bunch of junk that was cluttering up the yard. Anyway, as technically poor as it is, this photo has always been and continues to be a favorite because of the content. I'm going to make a small print. It will make a nice addition to the family photos that hang on the wall. http://georgesinos.com/blog/2013/8/5/waterfight gs George Sinos www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com -- 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.

I followed it downstream a couple hundred feet and saw another bird that appeared to be a different species standing on a log (unfortunately, against a busy background). He had a crown of feathers standing straight up and brown markings on his neck. After studying the Audubon guide this morning, I've come to the conclusion that they're one and the same. Herons all have that crown of feathers, but this is the first time I've seen them extended. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17486421size=lg http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17486422size=lg -- 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.

Both are great captures. I really like the one of the heron in flight, especially the shape of its wings. Well done.

Actually, I really love this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/9418917251/in/set-72157634899968298/ Very evocative of warm summer evenings, going away somewhere on a red- eye overnight service, the smell of aviation fuel in the nostrils, amazing sights as you lift into the sly with a million twinkling lights below, a sight that always surprises and pleases.

THe sky is a bit too pale. #14 A total best of cliche shot.. perfect exposure, etc - I bet this gets something... ONly thing is the church steeple not showing entirely - which is the problem with #1 - not from my personal view, just feeling if you have a (church) steeple in a photo most would want to see all of it. #19 what I like here is that the horses seem to be considering how much work is ahead of them (Hey- who signed us up for this gig anyway?) better than fair I'd say :-) ann On 8/5/2013 10:03, David J Brooks wrote: http://www.caughtinmotion.com/2013-fair1/album/index.html Dave -- 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.

Re: PESO sunset planespotting
Thanks Dan and Rick. In any set of photos, there will rarely be a unanimous favorite. For that matter, with just about any artistic expression, the stronger that some people will like something, the more that other people will dislike it, and often for the same reasons. Where one person will look at two photos and like the uncluttered photo of the airplane against the sky, and wonder why I even bothered showing the photo with the cluttered distracting background, another person will wonder why I bothered with the picture of just an airplane with no context, and will really like the one that shows the hustle and bustle of an active airport in the background. I would much rather a photo evoke strong feelings of both love and hate, rather than have it disappear without a ripple into a sea of indifference. On Mon, Aug 05, 2013 at 08:59:50AM -0400, Daniel J.

I went to a street fair Saturday afternoon
There was a little street fair in Santa Cruz this weekend, and while I was downtown I took a few minutes to peruse the booths. There were a couple of photographers there selling prints. I didn't talk to them, and can only assume that they've been selling at fairs long enough to tune their inventory to what sells. Based on that assumption, if I tried to make a living selling prints at a street fair, ether I, or my self respect as an artist, would quickly starve to death. When I was in high school, the father of one of my best friends would sell his paintings at art shows. He basically had three paintings that he'd do, with minor variations on the boat, the dock, and maybe the sky. He found what sold, and that was what he painted. I suspect that it would be educational sometime to print up a bunch of my photos, and set up a booth at a street fair sometime, just to see what photosi, if any, people liked well enough to spend money on. I'm sure that I would learn a lot from such a weekend. I just don't know whether I'd learn more about my photography, or the artistic tastes of the American public. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
Re: PESOs Juvenile Great Blue Heron
Could be you're right, Ann. Although the brown markings on the neck of your juvenile heron are similar to those on the neck of my guy. It could be that the heron I shot in flight disappeared into the brush somewhere and this guy was a co-conspirator. BTW, this little stretch of wetland river is in a suburban area, across the street form office buildings, but I've shot numerous herons and egrets there.

Re: PESOs Juvenile Great Blue Heron
well it was fun to examine the evidence, even if wrong conclusion - we
shall have to remember to shout out to Matthew and Darren next time.
I do think im right about Stan's Phoebe tho -

Just think, if I had the fancy auto-focus, auto-exposure camera of today it would be be a technical masterpiece! Well, probably not. More likely it would be mis-focused and poorly exposed in a different way. I scanned it from a 13 year old faded slide, cropped it, tried to fix the exposure, and cloned out a bunch of junk that was cluttering up the yard. Anyway, as technically poor as it is, this photo has always been and continues to be a favorite because of the content. I'm going to make a small print.

Re: What if Pentax did a Kickstarter?
Don't know if anyone has seen the follow-up story on Petapixel, but Zenit's Kickstarter has raised over $1 MILLION dollars and has 18 days still left to go in the campaign. Roughly 2500 copies of the lens have been pre-ordered. I do think that there are some lessons that Pentax (and other companies) could learn from this. Over half of the million dollars was raised by the people buying this lens for $350 or $400 (funding at a level that gets a production lens, I should say). People paid MORE for the privilege of getting one of the FIRST lenses produced (low serial numbers), or having something engraved on the lens, and some people paid up to $2600 for packages that included a trip and the lens. Zenit was also smart in making two versions (brass and black) available for this lens, so they could effectively double the number of funding points (making separate ones for each lens version). I have to believe that this has wildly exceeded Zenit's initial goals. Knowing exactly how many are preordered will allow them to source the materials at bulk quantity prices, as well as gauge potential future demand (should they wish to continue offering it into the future, or have some to sell as stock). It is also worth noting that this is for a lens design that is highly flawed by modern optical standards.

Re:I went to a street fair Saturday afternoon
Larry I have had the same thoughts reaction to our local Saturday crafts fairs. One very good local pro offers about 20 different photos all done in exactly same style (sorta Instagram look.) As the summer has gone on her inventory has dwindled so she is selling. I do think people may like one photo and buy a different one as they are looking more for something to go with their decor more than they are looking for art to treasure. I have been told it is difficult to sell large matted prints.But if you want to sell, your best bet is 5 note-cards with photos wrapped in a ribbon and priced around 15-20 bucks.

There were a couple of photographers there selling prints. I didn't talk to them, and can only assume that they've been selling at fairs long enough to tune their inventory to what sells. Based on that assumption, if I tried to make a living selling prints at a street fair, ether I, or my self respect as an artist, would quickly starve to death. When I was in high school, the father of one of my best friends would sell his paintings at art shows. He basically had three paintings that he'd do, with minor variations on the boat, the dock, and maybe the sky. He found what sold, and that was what he painted. I suspect that it would be educational sometime to print up a bunch of my photos, and set up a booth at a street fair sometime, just to see what photosi, if any, people liked well enough to spend money on. I'm sure that I would learn a lot from such a weekend. I just don't know whether I'd learn more about my photography, or the artistic tastes of the American public. -- Larry Colen -- 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.
