Well my mind and my companion's mind wandered when we saw it back in the 
early 80's in a theatre Ithink Richard was slightly more antsy than 
I was,


but we walked out after about 30 minutes... maybe 45, but no more.

Thanks, I'll take Dr. Strangelove and Paths of Glory...

Either way, Kubrick was a genius.

I've watched it bit-by-bit before on the small screen, but often find my mind 
wandering when I'm watching anything on TV, but in the cinema I was transfixed 
from the word go.

On Wednesday, I went to San Francisco for a visit to the re-imagined SF Museum
Of Modern Art.

https://flic.kr/p/KBdL7d

It's very hard to believe that I had not been to SF for a walk or to any museums there for almost two years. It's only 45 minutes away. Just a short few years back, I was in that neighborhood once or twice a week, visiting galleries and museums, shooting photos on the street ... Sigh. Work and my physical state these past five years made it too much of a challenge to try.

Work is no longer an issue, and my legs are finally getting back to the point where I can push them harder than the Saturday Morning Walk requires. Today is my birthday. So my birthday present to myself was to meet up with a photographer friend at SF MOMA on Wednesday, see the new building and some of the exhibits, have a nice lunch, do some photography, and visit the Leica Store nearby.

SF MOMA's new building is ... I can't find the right adjective. Hugely expanded, vast amounts of new works, glorious architecture; it's an amazing pleasure to be there. Linda only made it through the top floor, I made it through part of the sixth floor as well in the time we had. It will take several visits to take it all in. Outstanding: it alone was was worth the trek.

Buena Vista Park and the museum itself afforded the usual rich set of street subject matter. I carried the Leica M-D fitted with 'Lux 35mm v2 lens, and had the WATE in the bag. Didn't switch from the 35mm. I didn't shoot too many frames but am happy with the results I obtained.

We left the museum, stopped at a favorite spot a block or two away for lunch, and then walked up to the Leica Store. I've been meaning to visit Leica Store SF for ages, it was great to finally get there. An exhibition of Danny Lyons photos is on display. It struck me: what other camera shop can I walk into and spend an hour or more enjoying a beautifully curated, superbly presented photographic exhibit for an hour or more without intruding sales personnel getting in the way? Outstanding work ... and the sales person did stop over to say hello, welcome us to the store, and see if we needed any help. It was great.

The Leica Store visit consumed the remainder of the time in the day, and it was time to head home. All in all, an excellent day out. The museum visit was fantastic as was the visit to the Store. Being in the city with a friend to do, to see, to chat about photography, equipment, and art ... This is what gives life fullness and meaning. More, please.

Thank you all for being there with me, in spirit. :-)

Re: For MZ-S Owners

2016-08-26 Thread Mark C

I put a few rolls through the camera and have figured out what that 
extra roller does - apparently it helps with loading the film.


So far I have experienced one roll would not load at all - it would 
start to get engaged with the sprockets on the take up spool but would 
pop loose. Tried several times but the camera would pull out about an 
inch of film and then lose its grip on the leader. All of the other 
rolls have the end of the film folded back, so there is about 1/4th of 
an inch at the very end of the roll where the emulsion side is facing 
out, not in like it should.  Not sure that is a problem but I did have 
one roll unexpectedly rewind halfway done. These were all canisters that 
I hand rolled from bulk film, and I am not too meticulous about cutting 
the notch at the end of the film. I have had the unexpected rewind a 
could times in the past with bulk roll. Its rare but possibly not 
related to the loading issue.  I experimented with some commercial rolls 
and found that if the film leader is placed in just the right location 
it loads just fine -  but if it is put in just a little to far it also 
folds over.


So I either need to figure out how to get the roller back on or look for 
a repair shop.

Hammer of the Gods

2016-08-26 Thread Mark C

Dan's recent post reminded me of this - the school building behind my 
house was hit by lightning during a storm about a month ago. Less than 
100 yards away I was working on the PC, thankfully nothing got fried.


A shot of the building and a close up of the damage. Based on the debris 
on the sidewalk below, its a good thing that no one was standing outside 
the building when it was hit.


http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/lightning-struck?blog=9

Top shot was taken with K3 and DA 17-70 f4. Second shot was taken with 
K3 and Tokina ATX 400 f5.6.

Re: OT: Barry Lyndon

I saw "Barry Lyndon" in first release on the big screen (super-wide-screen 
somewhere in Manhattan, NYC) way back when it was new, and was surprised then 
to hear all the negative reviews. I think I went to see it twice then. I've 
seen it many times since in small theater showings and on video release… to me 
it's always been a masterwork. 

I'll have to see if the re-release is showing around here any time soon. Thanks 
for the heads up, Bob!

Re: OT: Barry Lyndon

That was pretty much the view of a lot of the critics at the time it came out, 
but re-looking at it they're changing their minds.

Either way, Kubrick was a genius.

I've watched it bit-by-bit before on the small screen, but often find my mind 
wandering when I'm watching anything on TV, but in the cinema I was transfixed 
from the word go.

Subject: PESO 2016 - 172 - GDG

On Wednesday, I went to San Francisco for a visit to the re-imagined SF 
Museum Of Modern Art.

 https://flic.kr/p/KBdL7d

It's very hard to believe that I had not been to SF for a walk or to any 
museums there for almost two years. It's only 45 minutes away. Just a short 
few years back, I was in that neighborhood once or twice a week, visiting 
galleries and museums, shooting photos on the street ... Sigh. Work and my 
physical state these past five years made it too much of a challenge to try.

Work is no longer an issue, and my legs are finally getting back to the 
point where I can push them harder than the Saturday Morning Walk requires. 
Today is my birthday. So my birthday present to myself was to meet up with a 
photographer friend at SF MOMA on Wednesday, see the new building and some 
of the exhibits, have a nice lunch, do some photography, and visit the Leica 
Store nearby.

SF MOMA's new building is ... I can't find the right adjective. Hugely 
expanded, vast amounts of new works, glorious architecture; it's an amazing 
pleasure to be there. Linda only made it through the top floor, I made it 
through part of the sixth floor as well in the time we had. It will take 
several visits to take it all in. Outstanding: it alone was was worth the 
trek.

Buena Vista Park and the museum itself afforded the usual rich set of street 
subject matter. I carried the Leica M-D fitted with 'Lux 35mm v2 lens, and 
had the WATE in the bag. Didn't switch from the 35mm. I didn't shoot too 
many frames but am happy with the results I obtained.

We left the museum, stopped at a favorite spot a block or two away for 
lunch, and then walked up to the Leica Store. I've been meaning to visit 
Leica Store SF for ages, it was great to finally get there. An exhibition of 
Danny Lyons photos is on display. It struck me: what other camera shop can I 
walk into and spend an hour or more enjoying a beautifully curated, superbly 
presented photographic exhibit for an hour or more without intruding sales 
personnel getting in the way? Outstanding work ... and the sales person did 
stop over to say hello, welcome us to the store, and see if we needed any 
help. It was great.

The Leica Store visit consumed the remainder of the time in the day, and it 
was time to head home. All in all, an excellent day out. The museum visit 
was fantastic as was the visit to the Store. Being in the city with a friend 
to do, to see, to chat about photography, equipment, and art ... This is 
what gives life fullness and meaning. More, please.

Thank you all for being there with me, in spirit. :-)

PESO 2016 - 172 - GDG

On Wednesday, I went to San Francisco for a visit to the re-imagined SF Museum 
Of Modern Art. 

  https://flic.kr/p/KBdL7d
 
It's very hard to believe that I had not been to SF for a walk or to any 
museums there for almost two years. It's only 45 minutes away. Just a short few 
years back, I was in that neighborhood once or twice a week, visiting galleries 
and museums, shooting photos on the street ... Sigh. Work and my physical state 
these past five years made it too much of a challenge to try. 
 
Work is no longer an issue, and my legs are finally getting back to the point 
where I can push them harder than the Saturday Morning Walk requires. Today is 
my birthday. So my birthday present to myself was to meet up with a 
photographer friend at SF MOMA on Wednesday, see the new building and some of 
the exhibits, have a nice lunch, do some photography, and visit the Leica Store 
nearby. 
 
SF MOMA's new building is ... I can't find the right adjective. Hugely 
expanded, vast amounts of new works, glorious architecture; it's an amazing 
pleasure to be there. Linda only made it through the top floor, I made it 
through part of the sixth floor as well in the time we had. It will take 
several visits to take it all in. Outstanding: it alone was was worth the trek. 
 
Buena Vista Park and the museum itself afforded the usual rich set of street 
subject matter. I carried the Leica M-D fitted with 'Lux 35mm v2 lens, and had 
the WATE in the bag. Didn't switch from the 35mm. I didn't shoot too many 
frames but am happy with the results I obtained. 
 
We left the museum, stopped at a favorite spot a block or two away for lunch, 
and then walked up to the Leica Store. I've been meaning to visit Leica Store 
SF for ages, it was great to finally get there. An exhibition of Danny Lyons 
photos is on display. It struck me: what other camera shop can I walk into and 
spend an hour or more enjoying a beautifully curated, superbly presented 
photographic exhibit for an hour or more without intruding sales personnel 
getting in the way? Outstanding work ... and the sales person did stop over to 
say hello, welcome us to the store, and see if we needed any help. It was 
great.  
 
The Leica Store visit consumed the remainder of the time in the day, and it was 
time to head home. All in all, an excellent day out. The museum visit was 
fantastic as was the visit to the Store. Being in the city with a friend to do, 
to see, to chat about photography, equipment, and art ... This is what gives 
life fullness and meaning. More, please. 

Thank you all for being there with me, in spirit. :-)

We're fortunate in that the Museum of Fine Arts here in Boston does a
Kubrick film festival every February. We got to see Barry Lyndon this
year. Not the new, restored version but still magnificent.

Re: OT: Happiest Countries

The Aussies also made the list.

The Danes are happy because they live and let live.  Copenhagen is a very

Christiania, a self-proclaimed autonomous neighborhood, to exist as a
hippie commune with open drugs all over.

Peso-Gray Heron (one more)



This image detail surprised me some.
Probably 75-80 yards and atop a rather tall tree.
Estimate a 60% crop.(?)
Went to check out the ready state of Gray Lodge State Wildlife Area.
Found that flooding has just barely begun.

DA55-300 on K-3.

Comments appreciated.
