Re: catching up on a hot summer day (Where's Ann been?)

[Bulent Celasun]

Hello Ann,

I have been using the Internet only occasionally since May and I
dislike checking my emails on phone.

Anyway, I am really happy to read your complete 'story' .
It is good to know you are doing quite well after all those traumas.

Best wishes  from this Covid-dodger to you - fingers crossed..
(And I hope these too hot days normalize soon).

Re: OT: (or not OT:) process vs. outcome

[Bulent Celasun]

Stan,

I think the two mindsets you described serve different purposes.
Even the same person can employ either depending on the occasion.
In a hurry? An average result is fine? The less precise, casual,
on-the-go approach would be fine.
Have time? Need some satisfaction? In a meditative mood? The latter,
more satisfying, enriching approach is appropriate.

Perhaps the essential requirement is the knowledge of the existence of
these separate pathways.
Personally, I would be very happy to reach an "outcome" like building
a box like Bill's.
Yet, I may still enjoy the "process" of trying to make a box like that
even when I fail.

Re: OT a bit of personal news

Larry,

My condolences for your mother.
You do look capable enough to deal with all that.
I very much hope that your next message will include
images made with your new lens.
I will not be surprised if they turn out to be made under heavy rain.

Did they help?

Your bike looks very good as a whole, by the way, and I  think it is
much lighter than mine.
Unfortunately, local driving habits does not permit much cycling here
and my bike
has probably forgotten everything already about its owner.

Re: Unclogging printer head

[Bulent Celasun]

Mine had remained unused for about 4 years, maybe 5.
At least a year or 2 of it was in a box.
I was rather too busy with other matters and wasn't surprised when I
found it dead.

The inks were originals like the ones I still have sitting somewhere unopened.
I remember thinking about selling them as such but I doubt they will perform
as good as films past their BB date.

Re: Unclogging printer head

[Bulent Celasun]

I used to have a lightly used  Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Inkjet Printer
which was neglected for years
(totally unattended with the ink set mounted).
Tried everything I might and failed to make the head sing again.
I had to leave it on top of an electronic garbage pile.
Now I have a lower spec model (L805) and try to keep it happy by turning it on
(even when nothing is to be printed)
every now and then.

Re: PESO - Aloe vera (flower)

[Bulent Celasun]

Alan,

The plant(s) are indeed less than half the height of the flower stems
(spikes) which grow very fast.
The spikes are always vertical, unlike the parts of the plant which
run diagonally.

Ours are like the one below, only lens of lesser density.

Re: PESO - Aloe vera (flower)

[Bulent Celasun]

Dan, Toine and Alan,

Thank you all for visiting and commenting.

Alan, the plant itself is a rather neglected one in a pot waiting to
be trimmed and
transplanted into garden soil about a month or two later.
Also, the flowers are on a stem which is far taller than the plant itself.
It might be unfair for her to be photographed in such a shape.  : )

The truth is I might have considered some trick to get a shot, if it
wasn't 10 pm here.

Re: blackbird

[Bulent Celasun]

Larry,

For the inconsistent colors I thought the below link might help (see
iridescent colors).
I noticed a little bird (towards the end of your series) with cyan-ish
feathers and then I wondered
if the color had something to do with the angle of view.

Re: Printer ink fails to dry completely for a long time

[Bulent Celasun]

Bipin,

Thank you for sharing your experience and advice.

My inks are declared to be pigment type and understand that
this might have something to do with my problem.

I think I will be looking for different papers first.
While refilling, I will certainly consider non-Epson ones as well.

>A Radiant Heater placed in front of the Prints made them dry almost instantly
I doubt mine will but will try this soon.

With my best wishes : )

OT - Printer ink fails to dry completely for a long time.

[Bulent Celasun]

I used to have an Epson Stylus Photo Inkjet Printer (Probably R2880)
which was using Ultrachrome K3 ink set. The print quality, even on
common garden papers, was above my expectations and I had no problems
ever when it was operational. Due entirely to my long neglect,
clogging problem killed that printer.

Now I have an Epson L805, a simpler and cheaper model with a cheaper
(read, lower quality) ink set (EcoTank).

I have quite a stock of inkjet printing paper (mostly Kodak, labelled
as premium, ultra etc). Unfortunately, my recent L805 ink set
(especially the dark tones) is notoriusly late to dry. A fairly dark
print takes more than a week to dry. Even then, if you put a glass on
top, there are little foci that stick (or, if you press some plain
paper on the image you still see a few ink droplets transferred to the
paper).

Original Epson inkjet papers are very expensive and practically
unavailable. There is only the A3 size (not suitable for my L805) and
it is sold for about 3 dollars each. I guess there should be no ink
drying problem if one can use those.

Now, here is my question:
Can I do anything "after printing to an ordinary inkjet photo paper"
to make it dry quicker AND completely without damaging the image?
Would sunlight or heat or wind or ... work?

By the way, the printer accepts a command to print on a no-name card
and uses somewhat less ink for that (on the premise that it may not
absorb the ink well). So, there is practically nothing I can do
"before" printing.

Comments and help appreciated.

Re: Experimenting with the K-3

[Bulent Celasun]

Paul,

I liked them both for different reasons.
The canopy is just so sweet, calmingly bright,
radiating optimism in these troubled times.
The sparrow portrait is beautiful and  he/she
seems to be posing for you.

No arthritic hand was visible anywhere, by the way.

Re: November PUG is up

[Bulent Celasun]

Thanks Brian, for making PUG possible.
Thanks also for including my photo.
My line of thought was exactly like yours.
I have Pentax cameras from 6x7 to 110 (seven, I guess).
And I have far too many lenses for each...
Unfortunately, they see little use these days...

...

Anyway, I enjoyed the gallery much and
my favorite "straight lines" are in
Mark Roberts' Walk and
Bruce Walker's Geometry 1.

Re: Does anyone know about Lightzone?

I have been a keen user of LZ since its first days. I have learned photo
processing using it. LZ Project (the living sequel) has also been fine. I
had to leave LZP due mostly to my software driver problems. I do not know
its current state.  Now I am a darktable user. I recommend it to anyone
using Linux (also available for W. ). Learning İt takes time for sure. I
consider it time well spent.   Bulent (on

Re: Does the teleconverter help?

[Bulent Celasun]

Due in part to the moving target (in addition to other issues),
a precise comparison seems impossible.

Still, I found the "no teleconverter" images a bit more satisfactory.
In other words, teleconverter does not seem to contribute.

Re: PESO - Xanax.

[Bulent Celasun]

Ann,

Thank you for comment.
I know Xanax as a widely used, well-tolerated, mild drug.
Have never used it though.
Most likely because I was thinking I was fine when I wasn't.

I will try a B today.

And you are right. The image is from the last week of May, 2020.

That excellently summarizes what was crossing my mind while shooting.

Perhaps, that is a kind of contrast:
Left part : Prescription needed.
Right part : No need for that.

Re: Information to be announced on new Pentax APS-C flagship tomorrow

[Bulent Celasun]

Good to know.
DSLR does not seem to be dead, as yet.

I believe the K3 will likely remain my last DSLR (if it doesn't fail),
and Ricoh GRiii my last non-DSLR APSC camera for the foreseeable future.

Film cameras live much longer, by the way.

I tend to agree... and I believe I would do the same.
Would I display all of them?

Re: May PUG is up

[Bulent Celasun]

There is no image that failed to interest me.
For some reason or other, I enjoyed them all.

On photographical grounds, I tend to favor at least two:
-  Solitary Soul by Don Guthrie and
-  Venice  2007 by Stan Halpin

It should be no coincidence that both are in B

Thanks Brian once again,
for offering some nice food for thought, or rather sight.

there seems to be a "reserved space"

Thank you, Steve.

The balkony, facing south/south-west has become
my studio for flower macros.
Most valuable these days.

Re: PESO - A Geranium

[Bulent Celasun]

Thank you, Ann.

Happy to hear from you and knowing that you are fine.
We have been home for more than a month now and
I do not expect going out freely before June.

Photographically speaking,
I appreciate geraniums more than
apples,
kitchen utilities,
book shelves
and selfies.

Seriously speaking (finally),
limitations are expected to feed
creativity.
We'll see  : ))

My favorite is the second one

Hi Olga and thanks for your comment.

It was blooming in our home about three years ago.

Re: OT Covid-19

[Bulent Celasun]

The outbreak has not (technically) started here, in Turkey, although
there are a small number of cases.
I guess it will be declared "started" within this week.

I only hope that we all live through it unharmed.

Looking at your two portraits,

Re: Exposure techniques

[Bulent Celasun]

I am aware of the problem of red channel data clipping
even while the camera histogram looks fine.

All the digital cameras (non-DSLR Canons, Panasonics, Ricohs) I used
had this "feature".
It usually matters little IF the red (especially dark red) is the subject.
So while shooting a red-rich flower I always underexpose.
Trying to "expose to the right" never works for those.
The newer cameras (including my K3) are better in making files
which can be adjusted later with much less penalty of noise.

The same may apply to blue flowers as well but my experience with
dark/rich blue flowers are not much.

>Most of the time the dynamic range on the later sensors is so good,
>that running a bit under on the raw images is no problem at all.

That's what I feel, exactly,

As far as I know, dogs don't see images (including mirror images) as
we see them.
They certainly fail to recognize themselves, as such.

PESOs - One color, one black

[Bulent Celasun]

Here are two images.
The first is from about 5 years ago.
It still speaks to me...
That is why I thought it could be shared.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/49618817636/in/dateposted-public/
(Pentax K3,Sigma 70mm)


The other is fairly recent.
Shot using a Fuji GX680 with a 100mm lens.
I really enjoy shooting with this camera.
I printed this image just to hold it my hands.

You are right.
Real sixties' models are very rarely seen here these days.
Most of those in fairly routine use are those of early seventies.
They were made in Brasil, if my memory serves me well.

I was thinking like that while shooting.
The owner might have been a youngster.

Beetle's are special as strong threads of memory, aren't they?

Not mine.
That is, the beetle.
I used to have a RED one (1962) as my first ever car.

Re: PESO: Two Lips

[Bulent Celasun]

Far better for me as well.
I found the solid grey background distracting (for a photograph).
I guess it might have worked for a graphic work (for lack of a better word).

Anyway, I also enjoyed this version.

Re: PESO bouquet

[Bulent Celasun]

Larry,
I have looked at all and I liked some of them.
On reflection, I've noticed that all the ones I liked had either a
black or almost black background.
Perhaps I feel that the background color (does not matter which) is
competing for attention and
somehow overpowering the colors of flowers.
I also liked the effect of light coming from our left in creating a 3D look.
