Re: PESO - Self Portrait of a Confused Photographer

I really like it as an abstract play with lines, forms and texture,
Bulent. And kudos to you for going hardcore with the 67 and film!

Re: PESO ~ A portrait in window light

[Bruce Walker]

Thank you, Paul.

It certainly wasn't my intention to force it into view, and the
subject was fairly naturally deshabille in that posture. I'm mulling
over your observation and considering what it means to my composition,
framing, etc. Maybe if there was a bit more space around?

I appreciate your insight!

Taking your advice about “asking first,” Godfrey, what do you think? Should I

PESO - Self Portrait of a Confused Photographer

I may call it a figurative abstract, to make it still more confusing!

Anyway, consider it untitled, if you like!

Re: OT -- Web Rant; because I won't join anywhere where it's appropriate...

I don't use ad blocker software as such, but I do have a hosts file that
redirects the likes of ad.doubleclick.net to 127.0.0.1 (aka perdition).
That along with NoScript have kept me insulated from worst of the
advertising abuses on the "free" internet without creating an undue
burden on my browser.

Depending on the particular blocker you installed you may be able to

Rant on!

So you ever have a web page that just won't load, or only partially
loads?  Yea, happened for like the umpteenth time for me today.  A
web page I was trying to load was hanging downloading data from
Doubleclick.com.  It's not only that ad server sometimes it's
others.  Usually refreshing changes the advert it's trying to
download and the page will finally load.  This time, after numerous
failed attempts, I basically said screw it, and installed an ad
blocker for my browser.

I haven't done that on this machine because it's heavily
firewalled, (and of course has up to date virus protection), and
never uses "public" network connections, (it's a desktop, duh), and
I kind of felt that since I'm getting "free" content from websites
that the least I could do is allow them to display less annoying
advertisements, that I ignore anyway, so the proprietors could make
some money.

Well enough was enough.  Poorly formed and formatted advertisements
that put my browser in an infinite hang drove me to it.  The
A-holes that write such lousy crapwear will kill the free internet
if Government regulation doesn't do it first.

End of Rant.

Whatever transaction  is happening to the left of that, by the darkened

have more impact without that distraction.

If you choose to leave it, it would still be a wonderful photo.

I went with some friends to the Lee Miller exhibition at the Imperial War 
Museum today - it's a superb exhibition and I recommend it very highly.

I took my Fuji X20 with me because one of my friends has one on my recommendation 
but couldn't figure out how to set it to black & white only, which is all she's 
interested in shooting. So before going I set mine up - I normally shoot raw - so I 
would know what to do, and would look like I knew what I was doing.

I took some snaps to see how it all plays out. This is one of them, and I have 
a question about it.

http://www.web-options.com/IWM.jpg

If you enlarge it to its full size the 'grain', for want of a better term, is very 
blobby as if I'd shot it through rippled bathroom glass. I don't think this is 
noise - the iso was 200 - but it's pretty ugly. I've never noticed anything like 
this when rendering in b from raw.

Is this normal for in-camera b jpg?

Whether it's normal or not, what is the cause?

Ta,
B



This is just a SWAG, with *NO* actual expertise to back it up, but could 
the camera be using only the data from one channel to create the B 
image and what you're seeing is the pattern of the Beyer sensor?

Re: PESO - Self Portrait of a Confused Photographer

[Bulent Celasun]

Bruce,

Thank you for your comment.

This view has intrigued me for quite some time.
I had tried to photograph it before, more than once.
The results were unappealing for some reason.

This time, the scene was singing!
And the image just worked!

The 67 simply rocks... every time!

I like the geometry of the shadows, and I like the 'Rear Window' idea of

Re: PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I REALLY like this one.  Great pose, strong concept, interesting and
compelling composition.  I usually dislike purple hair, but it works
well here and is quite attractive, and the tattoos also add interest.
The camera is also elegant and well positioned, and the way she is
gazing down at it completes the image in a very special way.

PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

Molly Fassbender has a fascination with self-portraits, so I brought
my little collection of vintage cameras along to our shoot last
Thursday.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/bruce_m_walker/22923705145/lightbox/

645Z, DFA645 90mm f:2.8 Macro, f:11, 1/125th sec, 100 ISO, handheld.

One light: Buff 86" extreme silver PLM boomed directly overhead.

Model: Molly Fassbender
Hair & makeup: Judi Willrich

The catalog database points to the image files in the file system, not the 
other way around. You open a catalog/database … from there you see what image 
files it points to and what folder it records them as being contained in. 

The specific layout of your system is hard to understand from the description 
you provide. In (1), are you talking about what you see in Lightroom Folders 
panel or what you see in the file system (be it Windows or OS X)? 

Look into the folders that a specific catalog shows in Lightroom. Then look to 
see what is on disk at that location by using the Show in Finder (or Show in 
Windows File Manager or whatever they call it) command (a right-click on the 
item you're looking at, either file or folder.) Once you see the data in the 
file, you can backtrack from there to see which drive it's on. That should tell 
you what data in the catalog you opened is up to date, or not. If the data 
isn't real, LR should show you the dialog to locate a missing folder. 

You can also select the folder or its containing folder in the Lightroom 
Folders panel and right-click to use the Synchronize Folder command. This will 
allow Lightroom to interrogate the folder and determine what if anything that 
is in it is not in Lightroom, or needs to be removed from LR, etc. You use 
these tools to determine whether you have all the current data and/or whether 
what you have is up to date in the context of a given catalog. 

Sorry if this doesn't answer your questions directly. Unraveling a slightly 
mucked up Lightroom catalog database takes time and persistence. You need to 
look at a lot of things, one at a time, to determine what the state of a 
particular catalog is and what files it is looking at. Always look from catalog 
to file system, and then the other way, to determine issues that need to be 
fixed.

I love the composition, the interplay of light and shadow, and the 
combination of people and abstract shapes.
I can't help but think that there might be a better way of processing 
the tonality, but don't have any suggestions beyond maybe bringing down 
the blacks slider to darken  the deepest blacks.

There are little scenes like that dotting the landscape where I live. 
There are literally tens of thousands of old vehicles sitting in the

Re: PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

[Igor PDML-StR]

Bruce,

That's a nice shot... This point of view creates some suspense:
The the way she is positioned, what she is looking at...
Being pictured against the white cold-looking floor (table?) creates the 
contrast with how hot she looks. The extended black bellows just 
sprung into the action That's such a sexy camera!..


The lady is fine.

:-D

Re: PESO ~ figure study #1

[knarf]

Cotty and I are SNAGs. We're like kindred spirits. 

When we were at GFM well nigh a decade ago we co-chaired men's sensitivity 
sessions and held several all-night vigils featuring lots of wailing and 
beating of drums.

Either that or we drank our faces off. It's all a bit hazy right now...

Cheers,

Really wonderful pose and framing, showing off the human form in one of
its many guises well. Illustrates brilliantly that glamour photography
isn't all about tits n arses.

Thanks, Ann.

This is at a regatta -- a rowing race.  Each shell (boat( has eight
rowers, plus a coxswain, who sits in the rear of the shell, steers the
boat and keeps time for the proper number of strokes per minute.

“Physiologists, in fact, have calculated that rowing a
two-thousand-meter race—the Olympic standard—takes the same
physiological toll as playing two basketball games back-to-back. And
it exacts that toll in about six minutes.”

PESO - Sinuous Garden

[Rick Womer]

Last week found me in Salt Lake City for five days of meetings. It's not an 
easy place to shoot, because the gorgeous scenery is obscured by modern 
clap-trap. I also had very little time.

I managed to squeeze in a little photography, though:
