Looks like a lovely place to be... didn't know you were doing an 
outhouse themed calendar :-)


Number 14 is the clear winner for me across all of these... would loved 
to have been right there right then.

Re: PESO: stars are born

[Henk Terhell]

This looks like another earthstar, geastrum triplex (collared earthstar 
- gekraagde aardster), also not uncommon in dune areas.
I don't know about the attraction of flies but it is indeed the case for 
a number of mushrooms.

The fly is intriguing. My guess is the flies are attracted by the
fungus to distribute spores. No idea, I have to do some googling.

Very nice shots along with the story.

Reminds me of something John Shaw said when asked about selling images - 
something along the lines of ‘become a writer and use the images in your

Photography Lesson - Pentax

[Steve Cottrell]

Hidehi PDMLers

A friend of my wife's has been after a 'digital camera lesson' for some time, 
and she finally came around last Friday. I had been dreading it, but actually 
it went very well. She's a musician (violin) and artist.

She's in her 60s and many years ago had used 35mm cameras and even developed 
her own film, and printed. But this new-fangled digital was giving her a 
headache...

I pinched a few pics of the interwebz and printed them out, breakdown of a 
mirrorless and DSLR, f-stops, ISO sensitivity etc - I knew she had a DSLR and 
was prepared for her to produce a Canon - but no! Out came a Pentax Kr

The lesson was about 90 minutes and started with basics, progressing onto 
exposure and how crucial the lens choice was and so on. The one thing that 
threw her was the mode dial up top. So we went through the whole PASM thing, 
and I explained what each meant. She was very enthusiastic and despite my 
providing some primer sheets, she took notes in a booklet. I had my Olympus Pen 
F on hand, and of course then sensor sizes needed explaining. 

When we got onto how aperture affects the photo, I retrieved my K50/1.4 and put 
that on her camera (which only had an 18-55 kit lens) and let her have a play - 
she was amazed that the lens worked and illustrated perfectly the concepts 
discussed using the live preview facility. She was astonished to learn that you 
can pick up a 50/1.7 for peanuts off eBay - and apparently spent the evening 
scouring for some bargains.

I also had my MX at hand, and that was great for showing how the shutter works, 
stripped of lens and back. So much better to have the hardware in front of you 
to illustrate theory

That's all really. Found the Kr to be a usable camera, perfect for her. Some of 
the menus were a bit confusing, but got there. And the rubbish up there on the 
mode dial! Get rid of it all and just have PASM (although it took me a minute 
to figure out that Sv was not 'shutter priority' haha - the Pentax obviously 
being 'PATMS')

Work picking up a bit for me finally, and been shooting some more sailing 
things, got a 30 minute doc about a gaff-rigged cutter built in France in 1913 
called the Jolie Brise coming out soon, so will post a link in case anyone's 
interested. All shot on a (new to me) Sony PMW-F3.

Meanwhile, more boat building tomorrow! Filmmaker, photographer, and also now 
rigger, cabinet-maker, plumber and electrician.

Needs must...

Cheers all

cotty

That's great!

It's funny that at the end of the article they have "Send us your voting 
selfie".

My first reaction was: Do they ask birds to vote for your article? ;-)


Cheers,

Re: OT: NYTimes: Richard Avedon’s Wall-Size Ambitions

[Bruce Walker]

Thanks for this Stan!

I love Avedon's work. I have struggled for years about what my
attitude is toward art vs fashion and I have finally come to the
conclusion that "the art world" can go suck an egg. That they could
sneer at Avedon until after his death is beyond reprehensible.

Then there's the photographic world's own prejudices:

>> On top of that, “street photography” was ascendant in curatorial circles
>> and it would not be until the beginning of this century that “studio” 
>> photography
>>  was given equal stature in critical thinking about photographic practice.

As far as I can tell, the likes of Robert Frank, Walker Evans and Alec
Soth are still pre-eminent and studio work is still ignored.

Three cheers for the talented and creative "fashion" photographers, like Avedon.
