Brilliant!

Thank you all (Jostein, Mark and B.R.) for two well formulated thoughts.
I am also glad to see that I am not the only one seeing similarities 
between some of today's events and 1933's. (Although that decreases my 
hope that I was wrong in my evaluation.)

RE: BREXIT !

[John Coyle]

 Bipin - you should know that the "Droit de Seigneur" which gave the right of 
the local landowner to
have the first night with a bride, came from Norman French law and was repealed 
a very long time
ago, having already fallen into disuse decades earlier.
While the Scots may still harbour resentment after the '15 and the '45, they 
have also been the
beneficiaries of North Sea oil for the last 40 years at least, with better 
employment figures than
many other parts of the UK.  Worth noting too is that Scotland has not been a 
viable entity
economically, and has relied on both UK and EU financial support.
As someone born and grown up in the UK, I am aware that there are independence 
movements in Wales,
Northern Ireland and Scotland with a seemingly impossible-to-placate hatred for 
Great Britain -
there isn't much more we can do for them, having offered the Scots a referendum 
to leave, which they
rejected, and given the Irish their own republic.  Wales could never stand on 
its own anyway.
The separation of the Scottish pound from sterling, was, I believe, a 
requirement of membership of
the EU, but I am open to correction on that.

Hello Steve, I have lived in Scotland while working for General Motors in 
Motherwell near Ardrie &
Peterhead up North near the oilfields.

The Scotts are "high thinking & simple living" type folks. Very 
un-materialistic and most of them
are minimalists.
Their stark lives are in contrast to that of the rest of the UK.

So I believe they think & respond with their brains rather than their hearts. 
Their vote to remain
with the EU is more to do with the greater humanistic European thinking & 
democratic ideals, their
art & culture.

Then also they get greater support & sympathy from Europe rather than Britannia.

For centuries the Scotts have only received humiliation & treachery from the 
British. One ridiculous
law was that a newly married Scott couple had to send the bride for the first 
night to the British
Governor. What a shame.

Their dislike for the British is at once visible. How many of you know that the 
Scottish Pound is a
different currency from the British Pound before the Euro??

Regards.
Bipin.

There's a pretty good chance that your plea will go unanswered. The 
leading candidate to replace Cameron as the leader of the Conservative 
Party (Boris Johnson, former Mayor of London, and one of the strongest 
pro-exit voices amongst conservatives) has a hairstyle that looks l lot 
like Trump on a bad day.

f8, 1/1000th. This setup gives me real tight framing and plenty of
buffer space, given the smaller files. I could shoot the same setup
full frame, as the 1.4 converter causes only minor vignetting, but I
would end up cropping to something like this anyway. The only thing
I’m going to change from what I did here is reduce the shutter speed
to 1/500th. Shooting in TAV mode, most of these ended up at ISO
12,800. The noise is manageable but I think I can improve on it
without any sharpness problems as long as I keep the camera on the
tripod.

A few more pics. Shot with a max shutter speed of 1/500th, which seemed to work 
for 9 out of 10 or better. ISO ranged from 2000 to 5000. All at f8 and 1/500th. 
The light was better at this time of day as well. Much less noisy, In my

A lovely photo, Rick, and a fine homage to your mother. 

My mother died in January 2008. She is still with me, and will be forever. A 
wonderful spirit; a brave and delightful person: I hear her laugh still, as if 
she were sitting beside me and responding to some inner amusement. 

My condolences on your loss. May you pass through the grief quickly, and accept 
the joy of her being in your living memory forever.

K-1 low light video

[Larry Colen]

I was practicing with the K-1 at a local dance last night and decided to 
give the video a try.  It may suck for videography, but I was gobsmacked 
by what it could do in light that not long ago was a challenge to take 
still photos in.


I posted the videos to facebook, which mangled them worse than they do 
stills.  Here is one for the curious:

https://www.facebook.com/ellarsee/videos/10154360479659673/

It was actually a lot clearer on my computer before posting. I should 
have also leaned a bit harder on the ISO.


TL;DW  when it comes to features and UI for video, the K-1 may suck, but 
the sensor is amazing, abso-f-lutely amazing.

My condolences also, Rick.  You can keep her alive in spirit through your
photography, continuing to honor the inspiration she provided to you.

Somehow I missed the link to your image, however.

Boris PESO #30 - Find the River

[Boris Liberman]

This song by R.E.M. is extremely beautiful, both as a musical piece
and as a poetry... It is going to say in my mind and I am going to try
to make a photograph that better reflects on it.

Re: OT: BREXIT !

[Jostein Øksne]

I've felt sorry for Britain and the kind of rhetoric that has been tossed 
around. Reminds me of the debate in my country in 1994, before our referendum. 
Back then it seemed that the less people actually knew, the more absolutist 
their arguments. And there was a lot of absolutism.
I think it will be very difficult to gauge the consequences in the long term. 
UK is probably in for a few surprises - take a look at how much Norway has to 
pay for market access - that will not manifest until extricated, but at the 
same time the business and marketplace will adapt continuously. Cause and 
effect will be difficult to separate in hindsight too.
Personally I worry that other countries like Spain will folow suit. The ghost 
of the finance crisis in Greece could ne stirred too.

Re: OT: BREXIT !

At least there will be an additional £350M put into the NHS every week as a 
result of the exit.

Oh wait, it turns out that that was a mistake. 

Seriously, best of luck. As several market analysts pointed out today, major 
financial disruptions only seem major at the time; be patient, and over time 
what seemed momentous will in retrospect be seen as a mild kerfuffle. Hopefully 
that will prove true for the financial markets and for all aspects of daily 
living in a post-Brexit UK.

There's a pretty good chance that your plea will go unanswered.
The leading candidate to replace Cameron as the leader of the
Conservative Party (Boris Johnson, former Mayor of London, and
one of the strongest pro-exit voices amongst conservatives)
has a hairstyle that looks l lot like Trump on a bad day.

BREXIT !

[Bipin Gupta]

Hello Steve, I have lived in Scotland while working for General Motors
in Motherwell near Ardrie & Peterhead up North near the oilfields.

The Scotts are "high thinking & simple living" type folks. Very
un-materialistic and most of them are minimalists.
Their stark lives are in contrast to that of the rest of the UK.

So I believe they think & respond with their brains rather than their
hearts. Their vote to remain with the EU is more to do with the
greater humanistic European thinking & democratic ideals, their art & culture.

Then also they get greater support & sympathy from Europe rather than Britannia.

For centuries the Scotts have only received humiliation & treachery
from the British. One ridiculous law was that a newly married
Scott couple had to send the bride for the first night to the British
Governor. What a shame.

Their dislike for the British is at once visible. How many of you know
that the Scottish Pound is a different currency from the British Pound
before the Euro??

Regards.
Bipin.

Re: OT: Film Oddity

[P.J. Alling]

So my opinion of the camera when released has been vindicated by someone 
else' experience.  It's always nice to have your gut reaction, with no 
data at all, turn out to be true.  It's too bad, it looked like it 
should be a nice camera.


It had the same autofocus module as the *ist-D, better than the three AF 
points in the MZ-3 and ZX-5n.  I bought an MZ-3 used which lasted about 
a year before the shutter went.  I really expected it to last longer 
than that, but I have no idea what it went through before I got it.


On 6/24/2016 8:48 AM, Mark C wrote:
The *ist just advances the film one frame at at time and rewinds at 
the end of the roll.


I bought 3 of them in the past few years. With the battery grip it was 
a nice sized camera, compact but not too small,. The AF was pretty 
good (though focus points were clustered way too tightly).


It is really a fun camera but the build quality is terrible. None of 
my three lasted more than a few months - shutter buttons stop working, 
control wheels jam, the plastic covers on switches just crumble away 
after a few weeks of light use. And I just kept it around the house 
for casual shooting.

I just noticed that the way those disposable plastic cameras work is
they have the film pulled all the way out of the cassette and as you
take pictures, the film is rewound into the cassette. All of the

numbers come out back-to-front (i.e. #1 is the last photo & #27 is 
the

first).

It makes a difference when you scan the film, because you're going to
have to re-number them in post if you want the images in the correct
order ... which I do, because otherwise it makes my head hurt.

I noticed it because the second photo on the film is a train taken 
FROM

the train and there was a river on the wrong side.

But it's not the wrong side, because it's not the second photo, 
it's the
next to last photo and it was taken while the train was returning. 
It's

the next to last photo on the roll.

Now all I have to figure out is why the hell was I using a disposable
camera and not my regular cameras?

Re: OT: BREXIT !

You, me and 48 percent of the voters. Astonishing.

Unfortunately we won't know for a while. It will take about 2 years to
extricate from the EU.

Our biggest problems at the moment are the fact that Scotland will now
demand a new referendum on leaving the UK, as all of Scotland voted to
remain in the EU and the First Minister (Scotland) deems it untenable
that the UK will drag Scotland out of the EU against its will.

Also, as our Prime Minister has resigned, this will spark leadership
contests and a very possible general election.

>Good luck with all that.

We've managed to last this long through history - albeit with some blood
spilt along the way - and we are still here so I have no doubts that we
will all get our heads together and make it work. We live in a democracy
and at the end of the day we are highly pragmatic in situations like this.

The Scots on the other hand  ;-)

Re: OT: Film Oddity

[Mark C]

The *ist just advances the film one frame at at time and rewinds at the 
end of the roll.


I bought 3 of them in the past few years. With the battery grip it was a 
nice sized camera, compact but not too small,. The AF was pretty good 
(though focus points were clustered way too tightly).


It is really a fun camera but the build quality is terrible. None of my 
three lasted more than a few months - shutter buttons stop working, 
control wheels jam, the plastic covers on switches just crumble away 
after a few weeks of light use. And I just kept it around the house for 
casual shooting.

I think the film *ist did that too, but I never wanted to own one, so

I don't think that was too uncommon. Some P cameras would pull all 
of the film out of the casset and then respoll it as it was shot. On 
the plus side - if the camera was accidently opened the exposed 
frames would not be damaged.

I just noticed that the way those disposable plastic cameras work is
they have the film pulled all the way out of the cassette and as you
take pictures, the film is rewound into the cassette. All of the frame
numbers come out back-to-front (i.e. #1 is the last photo & #27 is the
first).

It makes a difference when you scan the film, because you're going to
have to re-number them in post if you want the images in the correct
order ... which I do, because otherwise it makes my head hurt.

I noticed it because the second photo on the film is a train taken 
FROM

the train and there was a river on the wrong side.

But it's not the wrong side, because it's not the second photo, 
it's the
next to last photo and it was taken while the train was returning. 
It's

the next to last photo on the roll.

Now all I have to figure out is why the hell was I using a disposable
camera and not my regular cameras?
