These are my two favorites

"The look like ants because they /are/ants"

"It's too far to jump, you'll have to fly"

at first, I thought the crow on the left looked like he was about to heave

Re: PESO 2016 - 096, 097 - GDG

[Ken Waller]

Obviously the differentially sized tires rule out rotation which would give 
you more life, but 30K miles out of sport tires isn't too bad. I got 20K out 
of a set of Michellin Pilot Sports on the back of my Boxster.
FWIW, I've had good experiences with tires from The Tire 
Rack -http://www.tirerack.com/content/tirerack/desktop/en/homepage.html - 
cost wise especially if your tire vendors aren't super competitive.


I became a proponent of Michellin tires in the late 60's when I put some 
Michellin X's on my 59 Austin Healey Sprite, the improvement in handling 
over the removed bias tires was astounding. Been a believe in them ever 
since. IMO opinion they're the best for performance and durability.
Was bummed out when I discovered Michillin doesn't yet make a tire for my 
GTS.

The rears are actually worn smooth, well below the minimum tread depth. 
They become somewhat unsafe as a matter of road hazards ... Punctures and 
such when they're so thin. Never mind the odd fix-it ticket for driving on 
worn-out tires if a peace officer wants to brighten your day. I just 
haven't been watching as carefully as I usually do. Too many other things 
taking up my attention.


As to the price, well, these are differentially sized, low profile, high 
speed sporty car tires (for '00 Mercedes SLK230 K). They run a little over 
$100 per tire, add shipping, mount and balance, old tire disposal fee, 
surtax, sales tax, and four wheel alignment inspection  The cost will 
total between $690 and $760 by the time the job is done.


The tires that have just worn out were Continental ExtremeContact DW 
205/55ZR16 91W-225/50ZR16 92W "Max Performance-Summer" tires. They are 
rated for 25000 mile lifespan on this weight car; I eked 30,000 out of 
them. Sticky and lovely on warm and wet roads, pretty dicey on frozen 
tarmac though.


Unfortunately, I hunted around and the rears are out of stock everywhere 
at present. So I'm giving the Goodyear Sport All-Season V-rated (same 
sizes) a shot this round. Tread pattern looks similar, they're rated for a 
bit more mileage (30-35K miles), and feedback on them from other SLK230 
owners seems positive. Ride quality is rated in the same ballpark, noise a 
bit quieter, etc. On the numbers and specs, they're a toss-up. They're 
about $20 more than the Contis, which if I can get another 5-10K out of 
them is another toss up.


Fun fun fun ... ;-)

Godfrey, tire tread depth at the wear bar doesn't necessarily mean they

them thru the summer but replace them as winter approaches.
A trade off of low tread depth is better adhesion, all other things 
equal. However tire noise is worse


The tires? Ach, I was expecting to do them this year anyway, just taken 
a little by surprise by the rapidity of their decline.

I agree. HDR is a special effect. Just go with something simpler and
more natural looking. (You can make HDR look fairly natural, but it
still takes more work than the "two exposures and a mask" technique.)

Well, this is weird...

[Rick Womer]

Yesterday I posted a PESO, "PIFA Old Cycle."

My photo audience is modest: usually I get about 70 views; a rare shot will hit 
120 or so.

This shot, though, has clocked 1059 views. 

A Google Image search doesn't bring up my photo. There were only 5 comments on 
this list.

Any ideas where all of these views are coming from???

Oh you wonderful man.

Sheesh. Now I'm really lusting. A lot.

Problem is, even if I had a K-1, my A*85 has been lensnapped by my son
who uses it a lot on a Canon C100 video camera. He loves the lens, sigh.

That portrait is stellar.

Re: PESO 2016 - 096, 097 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

The rears are actually worn smooth, well below the minimum tread depth. They 
become somewhat unsafe as a matter of road hazards ... Punctures and such when 
they're so thin. Never mind the odd fix-it ticket for driving on worn-out tires 
if a peace officer wants to brighten your day. I just haven't been watching as 
carefully as I usually do. Too many other things taking up my attention. 

As to the price, well, these are differentially sized, low profile, high speed 
sporty car tires (for '00 Mercedes SLK230 K). They run a little over $100 per 
tire, add shipping, mount and balance, old tire disposal fee, surtax, sales 
tax, and four wheel alignment inspection  The cost will total between $690 
and $760 by the time the job is done. 

The tires that have just worn out were Continental ExtremeContact DW 205/55ZR16 
91W-225/50ZR16 92W "Max Performance-Summer" tires. They are rated for 25000 
mile lifespan on this weight car; I eked 30,000 out of them. Sticky and lovely 
on warm and wet roads, pretty dicey on frozen tarmac though. 

Unfortunately, I hunted around and the rears are out of stock everywhere at 
present. So I'm giving the Goodyear Sport All-Season V-rated (same sizes) a 
shot this round. Tread pattern looks similar, they're rated for a bit more 
mileage (30-35K miles), and feedback on them from other SLK230 owners seems 
positive. Ride quality is rated in the same ballpark, noise a bit quieter, etc. 
On the numbers and specs, they're a toss-up. They're about $20 more than the 
Contis, which if I can get another 5-10K out of them is another toss up. 

Fun fun fun ... ;-)

Godfrey, tire tread depth at the wear bar doesn't necessarily mean they need 
to be replaced. If the wear is even across the tread and you  you're not 
anticipating significant rain they can still be safely driven on awhile 
longer. If these were mine, here in Michigan I'd probably drive them thru 
the summer but replace them as winter approaches.
A trade off of low tread depth is better adhesion, all other things equal. 
However tire noise is worse.

So I guess we should all just become a little more tolerant of hate? For 
myself, I see no inconsistency in condemning hate and making moral judgments. 
Indeed, the former seems to be a kind of moral judgment. I may be mistaken that 
moral judgment is called for. I may be mistaken that my judgment is warranted. 
It does not follow that opposition to hate is simply an arbitrary opinion. 

What is “political correctness” anyway? As near as I can tell it’s the hater’s

Octopus is quite good, when done right.  My first experience with it
was a smoked tentacle I purchased in a park in Japan about 50 years
ago.  That was a bit chewy.

Octopus is a local specialty in Mykonos, and they know how to do it
well.  The traditional way of tenderizing it is to slam it against a
rock 100 times, but I suspect they have easier methods today.  In any
event, this dish was quite tasty, as were the caramelized onions
served with it.  A glass of Ouzo completes the experience.

A glass of Ouzo tends to help, doesn't it?


Yeah, but be careful. Ouzo is sneaky and it'll creep up on ya'.

Greece is a disaster, especially Athens.  Locals are allowed to
withdraw only a small amount of cash on any given day, but there is no
problem for foreigners.  Credit cards are widely accepted in all areas
where tourists are found.  The beautiful park across the street from
our first Athens hotel was over-run with homeless people, garbage, and
graffiti.  The cops just stood in a group and watched.  One American I
met ventured on the subway, where he was assaulted and his wallet,
cash, credit cards and passport were taken.  By-standers pointed our
one of the perpetrators, but the police were disinterested.

It seems that tourism is the only real industry.  Yet, there are
frequent strikes.that affect tourists.  A couple of weeks ago, the
Acropolis was closed because of a strike.  Transit strikes occur
regularly, and our second Athens hotel had a strike on the day of our
departure.  There are many vacant and abandoned buildings in Athens,
and almost everything, except the Acropolis and the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldiers is covered with rude graffiti. The current political
unrest in Turkey has force cancellation of some cruise stops in
Turkish ports, also impacting the Greek tourist industry.

I am glad we went to Greece this year, as I fear it may cease to
function completely in the near future.

key. One other frame from this pack may be interesting to post.

enjoy!


In a world where images are taken and immediately shared on social
media etc, I initially wondered where such a camera has a place in
2016. These images are very different and really offer something
new.

I particularly like this cyan image and (although it moves away from
the printed image size intended) I can imagine this printed at poster
size in a gallery. Very interesting.

They're a different kind of intimate social media that doesn't require
you to have a computer.

Re: Some people are just crazy

[John]

Some people have a mind-set believing anything that is not compulsory by
law should be forbidden. And that it's their job to to decide what's
forbidden and to enforce it.

Having no common sense, they always err on the side of believing the
worst about people.

Feeding paranoias can yield profits: either monetary or political
(which, in turn yeild to monetary ones). Paranoid people are more likely
to believe to the stories about  other various "monsters". And their
minds are pre-occupied with those monsters which diverts attention from
more important issues. And, of course, one gets easy profits from
selling them sneak-oil of all sorts.

I ordered twelve more packs of color film yesterday… 96 exposures for

Ouch! to the film cost & unwelcome extra expense.

 Thanks! 

It's about twice the cost of shooting 6x6 film and having it processed, which 
isn't too too bad, but still an expense to be managed. After a flurry of 
snapping about to learn the film and the camera, I tend to slow way down and 
then I usually get most out of a pack as keepers. It's the education cost 
that's steep. Can't be helped if you love the way instant film looks, which I 
do, so I meter it out and enjoy it. I just feel lucky that someone—the folks 
who founded The Impossible Project—cared enough to keep the format and the 
cameras alive. Photography is richer for their hard work and investment. I hope 
the business thrives and they are rewarded financially as well. 

The tires? Ach, I was expecting to do them this year anyway, just taken a 
little by surprise by the rapidity of their decline. They were fine four months 
ago. Oh well, they'll be fine again on Friday. I chose a slightly different 
tire this time, one with a bit more tread life potential. I hope they work 
well.

Octopus is quite good, when done right.  My first experience with it
was a smoked tentacle I purchased in a park in Japan about 50 years

Octopus is a local specialty in Mykonos, and they know how to do it
well.  The traditional way of tenderizing it is to slam it against a
rock 100 times, but I suspect they have easier methods today.  In any
event, this dish was quite tasty, as were the caramelized onions
served with it.  A glass of Ouzo completes the experience.

A glass of Ouzo tends to help, doesn't it?

Re: PESO: Mykonos Sunset

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Gonz.

Greece is a disaster, especially Athens.  Locals are allowed to
withdraw only a small amount of cash on any given day, but there is no
problem for foreigners.  Credit cards are widely accepted in all areas
where tourists are found.  The beautiful park across the street from
our first Athens hotel was over-run with homeless people, garbage, and
graffiti.  The cops just stood in a group and watched.  One American I
met ventured on the subway, where he was assaulted and his wallet,
cash, credit cards and passport were taken.  By-standers pointed our
one of the perpetrators, but the police were disinterested.

It seems that tourism is the only real industry.  Yet, there are
frequent strikes.that affect tourists.  A couple of weeks ago, the
Acropolis was closed because of a strike.  Transit strikes occur
regularly, and our second Athens hotel had a strike on the day of our
departure.  There are many vacant and abandoned buildings in Athens,
and almost everything, except the Acropolis and the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldiers is covered with rude graffiti. The current political
unrest in Turkey has force cancellation of some cruise stops in
Turkish ports, also impacting the Greek tourist industry.

I am glad we went to Greece this year, as I fear it may cease to
function completely in the near future.

PESO 2016 - 096, 097 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Another memento with Impossible I-1 and the cyanographic film: 

  https://flic.kr/p/HqYPXp

And an exposure with some regular 600 color (v3 beta) to show that "normal" 
photos are also possible with the I-1: 

  https://flic.kr/p/HqYPKR

I ordered twelve more packs of color film yesterday… 96 exposures for roughly 
$250. There's a reason to sharpen your eye …! :-)

Of course, I placed that order two hours before I discovered that the tires on 
my car have worn themselves down past the tread safety marks, so there goes 
another $800. =8^o

enjoy!

Re: PESO: Portrait with the K1

A fine portrait, Bill. That lens comes close to turning an old dude into a waif.

Re: PESO: Aegean Feast

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Jack, Mark, Paul, Christine, Alan and Bob for looking and commenting.

Octopus is quite good, when done right.  My first experience with it
was a smoked tentacle I purchased in a park in Japan about 50 years
ago.  That was a bit chewy.

Octopus is a local specialty in Mykonos, and they know how to do it
well.  The traditional way of tenderizing it is to slam it against a
rock 100 times, but I suspect they have easier methods today.  In any
event, this dish was quite tasty, as were the caramelized onions
served with it.  A glass of Ouzo completes the experience.

 Friday I gothired by my friend and neighbor to take the train upstate to 
 gather his 13 year old son and bring him back for Dad's weekend ... his Mom
 insisted on the need for a chaperone as Dad couldnt get up there to bring 
 him back. So I took the Metro north Hudson line, which twice on my past 
 had been
 a reverse commute for me. Took the train to Beacon early so I could wander 
 arounda bit a bit of a workout... the town's main drag is up up up 
 from the
 shore where the station is... it was hot and tiring.. but I was rewarded 
 with a delicious lunch and ice cream for desert... minimal street 
 captures.. but
 when I got back down near the stationI walked out on a dock while waiting 
 for Mom and kid to meet me there for the train back to Manhattan. Found
 these guys. I think the shotis open to a lot of captions - had a couple of 
 takers on Facebook when I postedand a couple of friends stepped up..
 I won't post here what they were yet , but some of you saw them..

 More suggestions for what goes in the potential bubble over the crows's 
 head on the right is eagerly solicited.

Re: PESO 2016 - 094 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Thanks Malcolm! I'm glad you're enjoying my instant film obsession! 

These cameras are a completely different way of seeing. I'm not sure they stand 
up to huge enlargement; the prints are like little jewels. They pull you in. 
I'll tell you also: they're a pain to scan and present, and take a bit of work 
to have them look anywhere near as good as the originals. 

Fun stuff! I ordered a bunch of new color film today. 

onwards!
