OT: Some computer stuff
Tiger Direct is closing their stores the one in Raleigh is slowly winding down. I picked up a store fixture HP Pavilion a4313W (Amd Sempron CPU, 320GB HD, nVidia GeForce 6150SE) for $50. Drive is wiped. I'm thinking about building a home file server to replace my NAS boxes I can cannibalize the HP for the motherboard, CPU SuperMultiDrive. I went into the store because I hoped they had a few SSD drives left (last week they had PNY 120GB SSDs at $89) and I figured it was time for me to get one. When I got to the checkout, it rang up at $53, so I bought three of them. I figure I can find some use for them somewhere. Next stop is a case with lots of drive bays, a RAID SATA card some high capacity drives and I should be ready to start the build. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers
Thanks Frank. Better than the photos was just the day itself - a few hours int he lush spring woods. The only people I met were a young couple, maybe 20, he had a fishing pole in hand and she was just walking with him to head down the the river. As I wrapped up for the day I paused to watch a spring peeper frog hop over the leaves and then heard a creak and a crack and turned around just in time to see a good sized tree about 15 feet away topple over, which is something to remember. So it was a pretty good day, the photos are a bonus. Mark On 4/20/2015 10:23 PM, Knarf wrote: Another excellent session is an understatement. Gorgeous work!

Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers
So it was a pretty good day, the photos are a bonus. YO MARK (R) Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net Subject: Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers Thanks Frank. Better than the photos was just the day itself - a few hours int he lush spring woods. The only people I met were a young couple, maybe 20, he had a fishing pole in hand and she was just walking with him to head down the the river. As I wrapped up for the day I paused to watch a spring peeper frog hop over the leaves and then heard a creak and a crack and turned around just in time to see a good sized tree about 15 feet away topple over, which is something to remember.

Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers
Thanks, Ann! The tripod is a Manfrotto 3021 BPRO - discontinued now, I think. With the center post in the sideways mount it can go nearly flat to the ground. The loweprobag is great - I keep it in the car and offload whatever I need from the main bag into it. I don't like a backpack because I spend too much time laying and crawling on the ground - better something that I can just put down quickly.

Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers
Hi Steve - I am using a Bogen 3021 BRO. With the side mounted center post it is easy to get the camera right on the ground if you want, but I seldom want to do that. The head that I use is just an old Bogen/Manfrotto grip action head. The secret ingredient in the setup is the rotating tripod collar on the A*200. It allows the lens to rotate into any position needed in terms of simple horizontal / vertical alignment. Too bad no one makes a short extention tube with a rotating tripod mount - that would be worth its weight in gold IMO.

Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers
Thanks, Ken. They are all stacked. I encode a summary of the post processing steps used in the file name or my future reference - where there is a numeric rance in the file name that's the stacked images. Most of these and the rest of the recent wildflowers were stacked in Photoshop CS6, which just seems to do a better job with this subject matter. For the larger flwoers - like the trout lily and the trillium - the stacking does not help much with the subject itself, but rather using the very narrow DOF to throw the background (which is fairly close to the subject) more out of focus.

I was 40 and working in New York in late 1988. And I saw this very car when it was brand new. It was part of the Chevrolet east-coast press fleet, and it spent most of its time parked in the Coliseum Garage on Columbus Circle. I occasionally borrowed a car from Chevrolet and would pick it up at the garage. This Camaro was usually sitting there, because the Chevy PR guy hoped to buy it went it was out of service, so they rarely let journalists drive it. He did end up buying it and just recently sold it to the current owner. It has only 23,000 miles on the clock. It was one of just 111 out-the-back-door cars that Chevrolet built for the SCCA Escort road racing series.

The crowd was large and people were always in my way. 2 or 3 times someone actually elbowed me aside so they could stand right in front of me. In frustration, I abandoned that plan, and instead decided to play around with my 6X7 instead. All of a sudden, people started to stand back and give me plenty of room. I suppose the size of that monster, with the wood grip and a large hunk of glass, convinced the tourists that whatever I was doing must be important.

Re: OT: Removing tourists from travel photos
I actually like the shot better with the tourists (in that example) The technique for getting rid of people in the frame goes back to the 19th century... with long exposures and, of course, camera on tripod.. I liked a shot I got with ghosts in it back in 2004 in New ORleans with my lx on a tripod at Jackson square... and several here have done similar stuff, I believe - certainly one shot of Mark R's from his travels across the big pond. What I hate is when I want certain intersting people in the foreground and they bust me taking the photo and get out of my way to be nice... or stop from entering the space I appear to be photographing put of misguided helpfulness. ann On 4/20/2015 12:17, Stanley Halpin wrote: I think you can do this in-camera: shot in Interval Composite mode, [Average] setting.

Re: Re: Rodeo and that's not bull*
Thanks Mark. It got me out of the landscape, macro rut into taking action pix.

PESO (work in progress) Psychedelic flower
Well, it is not the flower that is psychedelic, but the way it looks. (And, if you have to ask, - no, I was not smoking anything...) I was just playing with the curves... (in LR ;-) ) http://42graphy.org/misc/Psychedelic_IR25478c.jpg It might not be the final product (I have some thoughts of what I'd like to redo, should I decide to proceed with it in any way). I don't know yet what to think of it, so, I would like to hear what other people think about it. All comments are welcome.

PESO: Begonia Leaf
Yesterday, I purchased a begonia plant. While hanging it near my hummingbird feeder, I noticed how the leaves appear plain from afar, but are quite interesting up close: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18007503size=lg K-5 II S, FA 100 mm macro F2.8 Comments are invited.

Re: OT: Skid kids
Very interesting. It caught on in Rhodesia too when I was a kid. The Salisbury venue was part of the old Coronation Park dirt track where Ray Amm came to fame, later winning IOM TT's many other races on his Norton 500.
