Re: Devil's Punchbowl

[Rick Womer]

Larry, there are some really nice photos here.

For me, though, the many near-duplicate images dilutes the impact of the whole 
set—for example, were 11 similar shots of the raven and 8 of the eagle really 
necessary to post?

Paris

[Rick Womer]

It’s -only- been five months since our autumn trip to France, and I’m finally 
getting around to posting some pics. (My photo computer and hard drives took a 
hit from a nasty power surge, which took a long time to sort out).

Paris was our first stop, so more are coming.

Pittsburgh

[Rick Womer]

We took a short trip to Pittsburgh last month, and were able to enjoy this 
pleasant city in beautiful weather. 

The city is where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio 
River, which flows west to the Mississippi River.  My family had driven through 
Pittsburgh when I was a child, and I remember smoke and steel mills. Now only 
one steel mill remains, the smoke is gone, and the city is prosperous.

The views are excellent from Mount Washington, an escarpment south of the 
downtown area, served by two pairs of antique funicular rail cars (we went up 
and down the Duquesne Incline; the other (Monangahela Incline, about a mile 
away) was closed.

The visible bridges are among 446 in Pittsburgh, the most of any city in the 
world (and 3x the number in Venice).

The bronze figure on the bench, “Sidewalk Judge,” is by Seward Johnson, an heir 
to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and an artist.

Comments and critiques eagerly anticipated.

Re: PESOs: Backyard Birds

[Rick Womer]

What Henk and Alan said!  I have always enjoyed your bird photos.

I’m particularly fond of white throated sparrows for their song. Philly isn’t 
in their range, so I con’t hear their song until we go to a New Hampshire lake 
for a vacation during the summer. That’s my “happy place,” and this bird 
contributes to my enjoyment.

Re: PESO: A strange looking bird

Interesting bird!  The body looks sharp but the head doesn’t; I’m guessing that

Lightroom Classic + Sonoma upgrades = Trouble (still)

[Rick Womer]

I have been using Lightroom since 2005, and it has worked well. There are
over 50,000 photos in my library. Last week I upgraded the Mac OS to Sonoma
14.1.2, and upgraded LrC to 13.1.

All hell broke loose. Since the upgrades LrC simply doesn't work: opening a
library opens only a fraction of the photos it contains, and those cannot
be edited. When I try to import new photos from an SD card, LrC re-imports
existing photos from the catalog along with some of the new ones; and once
they're "imported" neither I nor the Finder can't find them.

I removed LrC 13.1 and re-installed it, but the problem persists. Disk
Utility finds no problems, and my other apps are running without problems.

Advice that leads to restoring a usable LrC will be greatly appreciated.

Thumb drive fart under pressure

[Rick Womer]

I’m taking a photography course at the Fleisher Art Memorial here in Philly.

As per our first assignment last week, I brought in ten .jpg images on an 
MS-DOS-formatted flash drive, as did my classmates. 

Three different MS-DOS computers in the classroom did not recognize my flash 
drive =at all=.

I don’t know what computers my 8 classmates use, but none of them had a problem.

Any ideas?

Rick

Re: Impressed again

[Rick Womer]

Wow!

My favorites of this =excellent= collection:

- The house fronts reflected in the water ( # 75? A more viewer-friendly 
numbering scheme would be nice.)
- The houses fronting on the canal, with reflections (#60)
- The roomful of bottles of beer,
- The church front (last shot)

We really like Brugges, but my photos weren’t nearly this good!

System damage from surge--still struggling

[Rick Womer]

Well, I have the Mac OS working again, and Lightroom Classic opens… but I can’t 
get it to open my catalog.

I have spent =many= hours struggling with this, and I need professional help 
(much more of this stuff and I’ll need psychiatric help as well as cyber help).

How does one search for a cyber-professional familiar with Macs and Adobe apps? 
A Google search yields dozens of consultants for Apple and Adobe products in 
greater Philly, but they’re all oriented toward business systems and big 
projects.

Any suggestions?

Headphone query (waaaay off-topic, I know)

[Rick Womer]

One of my non-photographic passions is listening to classical music.

I have a pair of Sennheiser PXC 550 II headphones that I like a lot, usually 
playing recordings stored on my iPhone.

I learned that Sennheiser had "upgraded" its software from the 
venerable-but-versatile Captune to Smart Control. I installed Smart Control on 
my phone.

Big mistake. With all but the latest headphones, Smart Control is stupid 
compared to Captune, able to do nothing but select a recording, start, stop, 
and change the volume. Most annoying is the absence of a graphic equalizer, 
which I used a lot with Smart Control.

I emailed Sennheiser customer support, and their response was basically “Suck 
it up, sucker!”

Sooo…

Can anyone recommend an iPhone music player app with a graphic equalizer, 
compatible with my headphones?

Doug,

It's certainly not normal! We've been in this house 37 years and have never
had an event like this before.

We're looking into getting a whole-house surge protector to provide a
second layer of defense..

Re: Let's test the list!

[Rick Womer]

I don't know about the server gods, but some gods somewhere weren't happy
with my photo computer .

On the night of November 13 it seems that our house had a massive power
surge. The victims were (1) my photo computer setup, consisting of a Mac
Mini and two on-line OWC hard drives. A few days later we learned that the
control circuit board and some of the wiring for our house's minisplit
AC/heating system were partially melted (we are now using our hot water
heating system).

We're waiting for a new circuit board and valves for the minisplit system,
and I've been chipping away at the computer problems. The OS on the Mac
needs replacing, and both external drives have media and file system errors
on Disk Utility which are making them flaky.

So, in the midst of other activities, I've been chipping away at the
problem. I'm shifting files from two other external hard drives (which
aren't in daily use) so that I can shift my files off the damaged drives
and reformat them.

Then I'll be able to transfer a bunch of files, reformat the external
drives they were on, transfer files back, and hope that Lightroom
cooperates in getting everything accessible.

Stay tuned.

Rick

Re: PESO Another Cobra Pic

Nice pic! A high school friend in the mid-1960s was crazy about Cobras, and 
built several plastic models of them that he displayed in his room. I don’t 
know if he ever got to drive one, or even be a passenger, though.

Computers! Aargh!

[Rick Womer]

I’ve accumulated a lot of photos recently, from travel and walks through groves 
of autumn color.

Today I sat down to post some. But…

When I launched Lightroom the window that should have displayed the photos was 
blank. Both my primary and secondary external hard drives had errors that Disk 
Utility couldn’t fix. I have no idea why.

Not sure how to approach this yet, but I will likely spend several more hours 
sorting things out.

Sometimes I really miss film, a light box, and a loupe.

GESO - Mercer Museum

[Rick Womer]

Yesterday we took a trip to Doylestown, a well-preserved town incorporated in 
1838, about an hour west of Philly.

Among its assets is the Mercer Museum, established by Henry Mercer in 1916, and 
filled with his (very idiosyncratic) collection of tools, baskets, decorative 
tiles, stoves, carriages, dolls, pottery, and a fire engine,  The exhibits are 
very haphazard and not very well labelled or annotated, but it is a very 
interesting place nonetheless.

So, herewith a haphazard collection of photos:

GESO - Squam Lake

[Rick Womer]

We spent three weeks on beautiful Squam lake in New Hampshire earlier this 
month. The weather was crummy for two of them, but that was okay.

Herewith a few of the dozens of shots I took.  Too many of the others were 
moist and grey.

Re: 16,384 shades of gray

Also $84.62 per megapixel.

LrC and travel

[Rick Womer]

I have Lightroom Classic running on this here Mac mini, with my photos on 
external hard drives.

We’re going to be doing some traveling, and I’d like to have LR on my MacBook 
Pro.  There is loads of room on its internal drive.

What flavor of LR should I install on my laptop that won’t insist on using the 
cloud?  Will Adobe allow me to download another copy of LrC?

Their website is completely un-helpful, alas.

GESO - Walk Along Kelly Drive

[Rick Womer]

Kelly Drive is a curving, pleasant road (except for a few would-be Formula-1 
race-car drivers) that follows the east bank of the Schuylkill River through 
Philadelphia. It has a nice foot/bicycle path, that we followed a couple of 
mornings ago.

Rowing and racing 8-person shells on the river is a Big Thing, and the 
boathouses in the first three pics house the clubs that constitute the 
“Schuylkill Navy.”  The shells are mostly on racks next to the buildings (as in 
the second photo), though some of the clubs have boathouses capable of storing 
the craft.

The last five pics are other things that caught my eye on the way.

GESOs - Woodmere

[Rick Womer]

Woodmere is another 19th century mansion on the northwestern outskirts of 
Philly. In the late1800s a wealthy businessman bought the mansion to create a 
gallery to show his 9000-item art collection.

We took a trip up there in June, and it was very enjoyable. Herewith two 
galleries:

- a few shots of the galleries: 
https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/June-2023/Woodmere-6-23/Woodmere/

- a few shots of a remarkably detailed doll house. The realism and detail 
amazed me:

GESO - Cliveden Mansion

[Rick Womer]

Cliveden is a mansion in the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, built in the 
1760s, and home to seven generations of the Chew family. The house and 
surrounding fields were the site of the Battle of Germantown during the 
Revolutionary War.  The National Trust for Historic Preservation now owns and 
operates it as a museum and research center.

These are photos of the interior. Pouring rain and sodden ground discouraged me 
from photographing the impressive grounds and gardens.

All were taken with my K-5 and DA 17-70. The ISO was 3200; the new Denoise is 
Lightroom is amazing.

Re: Angry glitz chicken

[Rick Womer]

Larry, I like these pics!  I’ve never seen peacocks this close-up, and so 
haven’t appreciated the details of their colors.

The exposure is tricky, as the bird is dark-colored and there is dappled 
sunlight. I imagine that you already did what you could with the exposure 
sliders in LR. 

A friend suggested using the “dehaze” slider for scenes with uneven exposure, 
and that tool has become one of my faves.

GESO - Philly Art Museum, Outside

[Rick Womer]

A photo-friend and I took a walk around the museum last week. It stands on a 
hill next to the Schuylkill River, on the site of Philly’s first public water  
reservoir (circa 1815). The dam was built in 1821, and powered pumps via 
waterwheels to replace unreliable steam engines. The Art Museum building opened 
in 1928, replacing a much smaller building a few miles away in Fairmount Park.

GESO - 30th St. Station

[Rick Womer]

I haven’t posted in a long time, but I’ve been taking lots of photos.  Three of 
us who took a photo workshop at a local art school last year have been taking a 
photo walk together every couple of months, and then gathering to view and 
comment on each others’ work a few weeks later.

A recent outing was to 30th St. Station, Philadelphia’s still-busy train 
station. Here are some of my shots from that outing:

https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/30th-Street-Station/

In the first pic, the glass-roofed bridge-like structure serves the commuter 
rail lines.  The more solid structure on the right is the “real” station. The 
tracks for the Amtrak trains are below its floor.

Commentary and criticism both welcome!

Ralf,

Inter-city trains are below the station; the people emerging from the escalator

Trains to distant parts of Philly and the suburbs are on elevated tracks behind 
the station.

30th St. Station

Three photo-friends and I had a photo-visit to 30th St. Station (Philly’s rail

https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/May-2023/30th-St-Station-5-30-23/

I mislabeled the folder, hence the odd link.

(All with K-5 and either 17-70 or 10-17 fisheye).

Slide scanners

Any recommendations or warnings?

Re: RIP Dan Matyola

[Rick Womer]

Thanks for posting this, Bruce.

Somerville is only 1 1/2 or 2 hours from Philly (depending on traffic), but we 
never managed to get together. He was indeed always kind and helpful on PDML 
(was he also on the Compuserve Pentax Forum?), and in the dead of winter it was 
fun to see his photos of Hawaii.

Broad Street Photo-Walk

[Rick Womer]

A couple of weeks ago two photo-friends and I took a walk down Broad Street, 
Philadelphia’s largest north-south street. We began at City Hall (beneath which 
the subway lines have stations), and walked about 2.5 km/1.6 mi south, and then 
north again on the other side of the street.

I spent electrons with reckless abandon, so here are links to my six favorite 
shots:

What Ralf said!  There is a remarkable set of variations on the theme, and 
every one of them is beautiful.

Gonna have to take a few more trips through this PUG…

Slide scanners

[Rick Womer]

Good day, all,

I have 20-odd binders of 35mm slides in slide pages, plus some carousels.

It’s time to digitize these.

So, I’m looking for a scanner that can automatically feed and scan a stack of 
slides. Any recommendations (or warnings)?

GESO (9) - Penn Campus Magnolias

[Rick Womer]

Friday afternoon had perfect weather, and we walked over to the Penn campus.  
The main quad’s magnolias were in full bloom.

After a windy weekend, things weren’t as pretty today.

Re: PESO: Not a door

[Rick Womer]

That’s a very dramatic composition, Dan. I like it a lot!

If one could pull back the sky a bit, it would be even better, methinks.

Re: GESO: Doors

Great pix, Dan!

Your lawyerly skills seem to have been well-exercised in interpreting the word 
“Door” — particularly in the fourth image!

Re: Bob, Dan, Godfrey, Bill, Collin and I are alive...

[Rick Womer]

I may not have been clear.  Your message header has Comcast as your name. One 
has to click on Comcast to see that it’s really you. Some peoples’ spam filters 
might discard a message without offering a chance to do that.

For me, the list has been a friendly place where I can see good photography, 
and get comments on mine from people I respect. I would like to see more posts 
from more people too, but I’m not ready to leave.  Where would I go?

Paul,

Your snowdrop pic did get a comment (though it deserved more).

I don’t see any other pics from you, though I’d like to.

On my computer (Mac, using the Mail app) messages from you still have Comcast 
as your name in the list and in the headers. Some peoples’ spam filters might

Re: GESO (17) - Old City Philadelphia walk

[Rick Womer]

Bob, pics of Spitalfields on line look considerably more up-market that the 
place was when we lived in London 40 years ago (Egad! That long!). There’s also 
no market in Old City that compares with the current Spitalfields market. Old 
City is very compact, about 1/4 mi north-south and east-west, and ranges from 
run-down to fairly pricey in that small space.

Hoping to get over to London again some day…

Re: GESO - Fences and Shadows

[Rick Womer]

Thanks, Ann!

The last shot is of “The Bowl” in Clark Park.  To make a long and complicated 
history short, Mill Creek used to flow through it on its way to the Schuylkill 
River, about a half-mile farther along. There were docks where barges were 
unloaded, and during the Civil War wounded soldiers were also brought here by 
barge, as the Satterlee Hospital was about 100 yards to the north.

Generations of city employees have tried to get grass to grow in The Bowl, but 
it is lousy clay soil and is heavily used so all efforts have failed except on 
the slopes. The Bowl is used for dogs, sledding (when there is snow—not this 
winter!), a youth soccer league, and plays and concerts in the summer.

Re: Mouse/trackball question

Thanks for the offer, Mark!

Mine has the ball on the side, so that one uses one’s thumb. The fingers are

I took the thing apart, gave it a good cleaning, and it seems to be working 
okay again.

Mouse/trackball question

[Rick Womer]

I have been using a Logitech trackball for my photo computer for years, and it 
is wearing out. It has a red ball operated by one’s right thumb, and a vertical 
scroll wheel and two buttons operated by index and second fingers.

What should I replace it with?

I have a Kensington Expert Mouse on my work computer; it has a huge trackball, 
four buttons, and a scroll wheel surrounding the track ball. I tried it on the 
photo computer and it was awkward.

Other suggestions?
