Blurry pictures
Yesterday's meet-up at the Photographers' Gallery for the Lartigue exhibition, and the side-trip to the Tony Ray-Jones / Martin Parr show at the Science Museum naturally brought to the fore some important questions about the nature of Art-with-a-capital-A. I decided to apply my critical faculties to the pictures I took yesterday, most of which are here, with accompanying pensées de l'artiste: http://www.web-options.com/ArtQ/ Chris referred me to this year's Reith Lectures given by Grayson Perry, so I read the transcripts when I got home.

Because when I apply the exposure corrections to the .PSD file all of the data in the shadows has been lost, and when I increase the exposure I get the same bizarre high contrast image I would from a JPEG. The image had both sunset lit clouds and rocks in shade, so it had a tremendous dynamic range. For each particular frame, I can process it in lightroom to get something reasonable. Let's take three pixels (in one color) shot at three different exposures. If you had a 16 bit sensor the values would be (in hex, because it's easier to do the math) FFAA 0888 0055 We'll take three eight bit readings: 00FF 0008 -8 stops 00FF 0088 0005 0 stops 00FF 00F8 0055 +8 stops It should be able to do the math, based on the exif data and give me FF00 0800 FF00 0880 0050 FF00 0F80 0055 Then, throwing way the clipped values, that should get me FF00 0880 0055 Giving me an image with 16 bits of range and 8 bits of precision. Instead, what it is doing is the equivalent of raw data that is FFAA 0888 0555 and giving me a pano with 00FF 0008 On Sat, Oct 26, 2013 at 7:35 PM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: On Sat, Oct 26, 2013 at 06:51:43PM -0400, David Parsons wrote: You can't do that.

Re: Blurry pictures
Sadly I couldn't listen to the Grayson Perry lecture on my android as a bbc app that is not available here is required. Did manage to listen to a truncated version on Youtube and what I heard/saw was quite interesting. As you may know I struggle greatly with the concept of art/artist. Hearing him say (if I understood him) that a small cadre of intellectuals (pseudo-intellectuals?) control the definition of art, decide what is/isn't art and obfuscate the whole mish-mash with purposefully impenetrable language kind of confirms what I've suspected all along. But as I said, maybe I missed his point. As I've said before it's gotten to the point that (to paraphrase a US senator's definition of pornogrpahy), I can't define art but I know it when I see it. I get to define or decide if something's art ~for me~ but so does everyone else. Anyway, sounds like you gents must have had a wonderful day and a very interesting discussion afterwards (while sharpening the daggers to plunge into the hearts of us Pentaxians). Seriously, lovely cameras and I still lust for X100. I thoroughly enjoyed your photos with wry comments.

Re: LED on camera light
HI Ken - I bought a Bolt VM-110 LED Ringllight for macro work earlier this year. I have to say that I found it to be of marginal use for outdoor macros. It says it is GN 15' @ ISO 100. I figured that would be bright enough but it falls short even for fill light in bright sun. By contrast, the relatively low powered AF360FGZ is GN 98.5 @ ISO 100. Not sure of the GN on those models you are considering. I bought the Bolt to use with the Q. One of its limitations is that when using a lens without a leaf shutter, the body can only synch the electronic shutter with a flash at 1/3rd of a second. I got the Bolt light in hopes of circumventing this limitation when using the K mount adapter, but it is of limited use.

Initial experiences with K-5
I’ve now had a couple experiences with my new K-5. The first was just experimenting in a walk in my neighborhood. The second was at a regional cross country championship meet which the team from the high school in the community in which I used to work was favored to win and did. From the first I could see that I will eventually get to the place where I can take much better photos with this camera. The second was pretty discouraging, though, though again strictly regarding my technique, not the camera. Two problems: [1] I was focusing manually. I tried to set focus up ahead of time at each of the two locations from which I was shooting to increase my chances for getting at least a few sharp shots, but I didn’t get one. [2] It was early morning with lots of shade. The auto ISO setting ranged between 2200 and 3200---I didn’t realize until I turned the camera on at this shoot that it had an auto ISO feature—so there was a lot of noise.

Did manage to listen to a truncated version on Youtube and what I heard/saw was quite interesting. It's worth reading the transcripts, which you'll find on the same site. He's basically talking about the institutional theory of art. The main criticism of that theory is that it doesn't give any clues as to what criteria the art world has for deciding whether something is in or out. There are 2 more lectures to appear. As you may know I struggle greatly with the concept of art/artist. Hearing him say (if I understood him) that a small cadre of intellectuals (pseudo-intellectuals?) control the definition of art, decide what is/isn't art and obfuscate the whole mish-mash with purposefully impenetrable language kind of confirms what I've suspected all along. But as I said, maybe I missed his point. Not at all - that's the institutional theory. As I've said before it's gotten to the point that (to paraphrase a US senator's definition of pornogrpahy), I can't define art but I know it when I see it. I get to define or decide if something's art ~for me~ but so does everyone else. One of the interesting questions for me is, why do people care? Calling something art, whether it's good or bad, carries with it some notion of value, but the object or performance or whatever is not changed. One of the points that GP makes is that most of what we see today as new art is dross, and nobody should be embarrassed to say so. By and large the good stuff survives, and the dross from bygone ages is forgotten. Most of what we see in galleries today will be forgotten. Occasionally forgotten greats are rediscovered, such as Vermeer, but most of the stuff that sinks into obscurity does so deservedly. Anyway, sounds like you gents must have had a wonderful day and a very interesting discussion afterwards (while sharpening the daggers to plunge into the hearts of us Pentaxians). Seriously, lovely cameras and I still lust for X100. I hope you get one sometime - you'd enjoy it. I thoroughly enjoyed your photos with wry comments.

Re: LED on camera light
Thanks Mark. I can't find the GN for the unit I ordered so I'll have to see how it performs for myself. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net Subject: Re: LED on camera light HI Ken - I bought a Bolt VM-110 LED Ringllight for macro work earlier this year. I have to say that I found it to be of marginal use for outdoor macros. It says it is GN 15' @ ISO 100. I figured that would be bright enough but it falls short even for fill light in bright sun. By contrast, the relatively low powered AF360FGZ is GN 98.5 @ ISO 100. Not sure of the GN on those models you are considering. I bought the Bolt to use with the Q. One of its limitations is that when using a lens without a leaf shutter, the body can only synch the electronic shutter with a flash at 1/3rd of a second. I got the Bolt light in hopes of circumventing this limitation when using the K mount adapter, but it is of limited use.

An appeal for Divergence and Simplicity from the Luminous Landscape
Ruminating on the K-3 and the various reviews of the K-5 family of cameras where the reviewer took off points for clunky ways to get into video mode, (this was especially true of DPReview IIRC), I found myself wanting to scream in the guy's face. What is it about it being primarily a Still camera that you don't get? This little article from Luminous Landscape makes covers most of my arguments, without the Pending assault charges, though I think his plea for simplicity of control might go a bit too far in the other direction, and having a third dial dedicated entirely to ISO... Pushing a button and turning one of the e-dials isn't all that onerous as long as the button is in a convenient location. NO Pentax content in the essay but hell half of us don't use Pentax as our primary camera system anymore anyway. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/an_appeal_for_divergence_and_simplicity.shtml -- A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant, and the crazy, crazier. - H.L.Mencken -- 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.
