RE: Warning to the UKians (and possibly other Europeons)

[John Coyle]

 You've all quite forgotten the correct etiquette.  When you wish to make 
acquaintance, you must
have one of your servants (footman is acceptable) call at the premises where 
the wished-for
acquaintance resides, and leave your calling card with the butler (who may not 
be the person who
opens the door to him, as that is the job of a lower ranked servant) - you must 
not, of course,
deliver the card yourself.  The card will then be taken to the person 
nominated, usually on a silver
tray, who will decide whether the relationship is to be pursued.  If so, he/she 
will have a message
delivered to your household, informing you of the time and date when you may 
present yourself for
the first meeting.   This will normally be in the morning, but not for lunch, 
as this is only
attended by invited guests of good character and some acquaintance.
Colonial persons should be advised that it is most unlikely that they will be 
received into society
at the first instance.

invitation!)

Tell us when you're coming, then we can tell you when we'll be on holiday... :0)

I normally take my summer holiday two or three weeks either side of midsummer. 
Other than that
there's the occasional 2-3 days here and there.

I like Lagavulin 16, and it was once my favorite, but it's price has doubled in 
the last 10 years. It's about $90 here. Ardberg is good, but I've only had it a 
few times.

Bombarded by news of new Nikons.

[P.J. Alling]

So I expect that all of you have been made aware one way or another of 
the Nikon D5 and D500 cameras.  Pretty much every electronics site that 
it's my misfortune to belong to has sent me an announcement.


The specifications are quite impressive.

There's been a bit of noise on various Nikon fora in the past that the 
K-5 and later the K-3 cameras had taken the mantle of the Nikon D300s as 
the Top enthusiast/semi pro APS-C camera body.  Seems that after 
literally years of begging, by Nikon fanboys for a new D300s Nikon has 
decided to reclaim that mantle.


I could be wrong but it looks like Nikon really does pay attention to 
Pentax.

No worries Larry - I'm sure we'll be around - just busk it and we'll try

Re: Boris 2016 #02 - Etude

I'm not sure if the cranes in the lower left hand corner make the photo 
or distract from it.  The tonality is nicely rendered, at least as far 
as I can tell on my crap monitor.

In case you don't read the blogpost itself, but only look at the 
picture - I've decided to start a new kind of ongoing project. I would 
suggest a music to listen to while looking at my photos. I often do it 
myself during editing or even simply when I look at photographs.


For this photo I suggest: "Now We Are Free", by Hans Zimmer and Lisa 
Gerrard from "Gladiator" movie soundtrack.

Re: Looking back at very difficult year

[Christine Aguila]

Hi Boris:

Very sad to hear about your difficult year.  Darrel & I send our condolences.

It seems you and I have had a similar kind of year.  In January my very best 
friend of 20 plus years had a heart attack and died at the age of 54. Then in 
July, my dad died, and now my mom is not doing very well  and is in a 
rehabilitation center.  Mom and dad were married for 56 years.  

I try to remember all the good memories and hold close to the idea that the way 
we honor those who have left us is to live our lives to the fullest knowing 
life must go on.

In sympathy, Christine

Very nice, Godfrey.  I enjoyed seeing these. I like the photos!  I hope to be 
doing some scanning soon as I purchased an Epson V600.  I’ve done some test 
scans of course, but I haven’t yet started rummaging around in old photos and 
negatives to scan.  Obviously, it’s not the same as your set up described

Re: Looking back at very difficult year

[P.J. Alling]

Boris my father died almost 20 years ago from congestive heart failure.  
It was expected, but it hurt. He was a relatively young man, in this age 
of medical miracles. It still hurts, but only occasionally, and it's 
bearable.

Hello.

It seems that the 2015 has been one of if not the most difficult year 
in my life so far. Back in March, just a few days after we signed a 
contract for our own apartment, my father passed away from cardiac 
arrest. It was unexpected, it was very quick, it wash shocking and 
very painful for my mother, my brother and myself.


Some of you I contacted privately on this when the wound was still 
very fresh. And to some of you I owe great debt now. I don't think 
that it is possible to fully recover from the death of someone dear 
and close, especially from the closest family. At least, as time goes 
by, I could regain most of my self, although my outlook at many things 
now has changed a lot.


As it learned later, about the same time a good friend of mine, former 
class-mate from my school in Moscow also died. He was among the people 
of whom I wouldn't even dare think that something like this could 
happen. Apparently, he wasn't very healthy and few weeks after his 
mother passed away, he followed...

Re: Boris 2016 #02 - Etude

Boris,

I enjoyed both of your recent photos.
Pairing with music is a nice idea, - but I didn't have time to do this 
morning, - I am in the process of preparing for a conference trip 
tomorrow.


I actually thought that those cranes is a good feature in this photo, even 
though it would be rather different without them. With them, the photo is 
less "generic", has more dynamics (from the juxtaposition).


May 2016 be a better year for you and your family!

suggest a music to listen to while looking at my photos. I often do it

For this photo I suggest: "Now We Are Free", by Hans Zimmer and Lisa

Re: OT: Meanwhile at TOP.

[P.J. Alling]

But that's the thing, I have collected 85, 100 135 and 150mm lenses and 
used them all.  When you jump from 85 to 150 in the same session you 
might notice but changing from 85 to 100 or 135 to 150, really doesn't 
make that much difference.  The last of those lenses I got was the 135, 
and really I used it more than the 150 because it was more convenient.  
It wasn't that I liked it more or liked it less.

Lunchtime Visitor

[Paul Stenquist]

Took a break and sat outside at noon today. This guy was too distant — the pic 
is only about 30% of frame — so it’s nothing special. But it’s a nice example 
of lens performance. K-3 DFA 150-450, f5.6, 1/1250th, ISO 1250, handheld, 
450mm. I like the way this combination locks in focus, but at this distance, 
about 70 feet I’d guess,  finding the critter in the tree is a chore. But once 
I get a single point on him, it’ll lock right in.

Anybody who has paid any attention knows that I have an affinity for

In the monochrome you miss the fact that the color of the walker's

Re: Boris 2016 #02 - Etude

I like this as well, Boris. I’m divided on the cranes. I think I might like it 
better without them, since it’s not just a sea and sky photo. There’s a lot of 
drama in the clouds and the proportioning is interesting. But it’s quite good 
either way.

Best,

Tell us when you're coming, then we can tell you when we'll be on holiday... :0)

I normally take my summer holiday two or three weeks either side of midsummer. 
Other than that there's the occasional 2-3 days here and there.

Re: Lunchtime Visitor

[Igor PDML-StR]

Paul,

It is a nice picture, but I am curious about a certain aspect of it that 
might be a characteristic of the lens:
The background (especially the green from the tree right in the middle of 
the photo) seems to have some type of high-frequency "jitter".

I wonder what's the origin of that?
I could see a few different possible sources:
1. strange bokeh in combination with the small features of the tree
2. camera shake (motion blur) that is compensated for the in-focus items, 
but not quite for the background.

3. sharpening combined with one of the above
4. ... (?)

What do you think?

Igor

Took a break and sat outside at noon today. This guy was too distant - the
pic is only about 30% of frame - so it.s nothing special. But it's a nice
example of lens performance. K-3 DFA 150-450, f5.6, 1/1250th, ISO 1250,
handheld, 450mm. I like the way this combination locks in focus, but at this
distance, about 70 feet I'd guess,  finding the critter in the tree is a
chore. But once I get a single point on him, it.ll lock right in.

I have the Super Takumar 150mm f4.0. I think it was one of the designs

You would be surprised how dreary civic architecture was at the end of the last
century.  Take away the bright lights of the current situation and it's equally
depressing. Maybe more so, as at least the concrete massifs resisted demolition
somewhat.  This new stuff falls over in a good storm.

 Even worse, that could be a picture of virtually any British town centre -
there is nothing whatsoever to distinguish it from Liverpool, Cardiff or
Aberdeen.

In defence of MJ (not that he necessarily needs defending) he doesn't
actually expect payment.  He'd just like his readers to click through
links on his site when they want to buy from Amazon etc so that he gets
a small contribution from those sellers.

He does have a donation button but doesn't resort to the begging bowl
(unlike Rockhead) or expect to be slung 5 bucks if you want to print out
one of his posts (again, unlike Rockhead).

Congratulations - excellent image.  I think I might have seen that one
before? and remember being impressed then.

Took a break and sat outside at noon today. This guy was too distant — the pic 
is only about 30% of frame — so it’s nothing special. But it’s a nice example 
of lens performance. K-3 DFA 150-450, f5.6, 1/1250th, ISO 1250, handheld, 
450mm. I like the way this combination locks in focus, but at this distance, 
about 70 feet I’d guess,  finding the critter in the tree is a chore. But once 
I get a single point on him, it’ll lock right in.
