Re: GESO photowalk

I looked up the woodpecker on your page and apparently he is shy and you 
were fortunite to get a nice shot before he departed...
Love the orangetip butterfly - and white wagtail.. finding the english 
words by searching the dutch words on google - they do a better job thn FB !
The Orange tip is prettiest at the angle you photo'ed him... with the 
interesting pattern on the underside of the wings - the photos of them taken

from above, only showing the  ornge and white make them seem ordinary.

Looked at the whole album, of course

Don't worry, if you had a 600mm they'd stay just beyond the limits of 
that as well.

I reckon I'm a-fixin' to head out on another excursion. So, I may have
another GESO later this afternoon, depending on Lady Luck's disposition
today.

We live about a mile from the towns reservoir which has several trails
around it. Weather is getting better and i see and hear some birds etc
now, so a walk around that is in order.

Dave
I went back out there today, but I've just about concluded that I'm 
going to need a 500mm f/4 to really get good shots of the waterfowl. 
They're all there -- but they seem to know the limits of a 300mm zoom 
and pose accordingly.

 A very enjoyable set.  The ladybug is my favourite.  Just shows that the
 subject doesn't need to be big in the frame to have impact.  The old orange
 barn is great also.

Again, as in your previous posts, I'm impressed by your attention paid to 
focus. While I don't know which specific shots were with the Promaster 70~300, 
they are all crisp and well rendered.

Hi all,

It's been over a week since I went out on a photowalk, so I finally 
got off my dead ass and took the cameras out today. I suppose I got 
some decent shots, but I missed more than I caught. I did stumble 
upon a great spot for morning golden hour opportunities, though. Ten 
photos in all.


The shot of the robin carrying away the worm is a project I intend to 
return to until I get the rendering right.


Anyway -- same as usual: K20D and K-x, A-50/1.7 and Promaster

A very enjoyable set.  The ladybug is my favourite.  Just shows that 
the subject doesn't need to be big in the frame to have impact.  The 
old orange barn is great also.





Thank you, Brian.

The most valuable thing I've learned from using a 50mm prime almost 
exclusively for about a year is that you don't have to zoom in on every 
single subject to get a decent picture. It's all part of the scene. :-)

Thank you, Bob.

I happened to notice the sunlight streaming through a break in a stand 
of trees behind me and onto the grass in front of me while I was hoping 
to get a shot of a couple of ducks (blue-winged teals, I think) and 
several snowy egrets that were on the little lake I was sitting by. I 
got some truly awful shots of those, FWIW. ;)

Walt,
That's a nice set of photos.
One I especially appreciated was 2nd to last.
The light on the grass is very beautiful, and highlights the subject.

Re: GESO: Photowalk - 4/17/12

[Walt Gilbert]

Thanks, Jack!

The best way to distinguish the shots from the Promaster is the bokeh, 
which looks mottled to my eye. I try to shoot it a couple of stops down 
from wide-open and avoid zooming all the way out if I can. But it still 
looks really ugly to me compared to the 50/1.7.


The shot of the robin in flight is a good example of the ugly bokeh it 
sometimes produces. I'd really like to find a nice, old manual focus A 
lens in that focal range on the (extremely) cheap, someday.

Re: GESO: Photowalk - 4/17/12

[Walt Gilbert]

Thank you, Ann!

The spot I stumbled on is one I've known about forever -- since I was a 
child, in fact -- but it'd been so long since I'd been out there that I 
never really thought of it as a good location. We always just thought of 
it as a place to catch fish from the spillway off the watershed as kids. 
But, I just decided to wander down there since I was already in the 
vicinity. It's probably a 5-mile walk, round-trip.


I'll be going back, for sure. :-)

We live about a mile from the towns reservoir which has several trails

now, so a walk around that is in order.

impressed with the resolution.

i liked the grouping of lickable red photos in the middle, and the

frame); flower photos up front, well the first is an nice composition but the 
colors are over the top for me (just not my cup o tea)


on the iris you made good exposure and focus choices, but the tight crop and

The surroundings haven't changed much since then. The only thing that's 
really changed is that I actually notice it now, where I took it all for 
granted when I was a child. Youth is indeed wasted on the young.

I went back out there today, but I've just about concluded that I'm 
going to need a 500mm f/4 to really get good shots of the waterfowl. 
They're all there -- but they seem to know the limits of a 300mm zoom 
and pose accordingly.

I never dwell too long over flowers. I tend to take a few quick snaps if 
the light seems to be hitting them nicely, but I never really do a study 
of the flower itself. I should probably devote more effort to them than 
I do, but I tend to get restless when I hover over any subject for very 
long.


Thanks for the input!

The first one is my favourite by far. Nicely composed with amazing colours, 
well-chosen focus point and lovely bokeh, it's just a joy to look at.

The rest of the set is very enjoyable.

Great shot of the ladybug.

You're getting pretty good at the birds in flight too.

[Walt Gilbert]

Thank you, Frank!

I was kind of iffy on including any flower photos out of fear that 
everyone is sick to death of them. I'm glad at least you're still 
getting some enjoyment out of them. :)

The first one is my favourite by far. Nicely composed with amazing colours, 
well-chosen focus point and lovely bokeh, it's just a joy to look at.

The rest of the set is very enjoyable.

Cheers,
frank

I finally learned to give the birds a little room inside the frame 
rather than zoom in tight and try chasing them down with the lens.

A very enjoyable set.  The ladybug is my favourite.  Just shows that  
the subject doesn't need to be big in the frame to have impact.  The  
old orange barn is great also.

Hi all,

Just wanted to share these photos from yesterday. There's a little 
redundancy, but not overmuch. The only real interesting tidbit is that 
I took the K-x fitted with the Promaster 70-300 f/4.5-5.6  along with 
the K20D fitted with the A 50/1.7 in order to have some reach, and it 
wasn't until the end of my photowalk that I discovered that I'd had my 
ISO on the K-x set to, get this, 6400! In broad daylight, under a 
mid-afternoon sun with a cloudless sky! I don't know how it got that 
way unless I accidentally hit the magical combination on the 4-way 
while squatting down to take a shot with the K20D.


In any event, the shots turned out relatively well, all things 
considered. Though, I was disappointed to see the blown-out highlights 
in the butterfly shots. Still, all in all, I can't complain as I got 
at least a few decent shots at the expense of a little shoe leather.


Anyway . . . here.

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157629730945173/

I have to say, I like that Promaster 70-300 more and more as I come to 
use it more often.


As always, comments, critiques and suggestions are eagerly solicited.

Thanks!

Nice set - I love the shots of the squirrel and the pink bicycle. I 
guess that at ISO 6400 you did not have to worry much about camera shake!

on the K-x, and the rest were shot with the K20D and A-50/1.7.


I wasn't crazy about that Promaster when I first got it, but it's 
starting to grow on me. I think the smartest thing I did was taking the 
damned skylight filter off of it.

Walt, if you have the time and don't mind, please identify which of these were 
taken with the Promaster.

Thanks, much!

Hi all,

Just wanted to share these photos from yesterday. There's a little redundancy, 
but not overmuch. The only real interesting tidbit is that I took the K-x 
fitted with the Promaster 70-300 f/4.5-5.6  along with the K20D fitted with the 
A 50/1.7 in order to have some reach, and it wasn't until the end of my 
photowalk that I discovered that I'd had my ISO on the K-x set to, get this, 
6400! In broad daylight, under a mid-afternoon sun with a cloudless sky! I 
don't know how it got that way unless I accidentally hit the magical 
combination on the 4-way while squatting down to take a shot with the K20D.

In any event, the shots turned out relatively well, all things considered. 
Though, I was disappointed to see the blown-out highlights in the butterfly 
shots. Still, all in all, I can't complain as I got at least a few decent shots 
at the expense of a little shoe leather.

Anyway . . . here.

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157629730945173/

I have to say, I like that Promaster 70-300 more and more as I come to use it 
more often.

As always, comments, critiques and suggestions are eagerly solicited.

Thanks!

Yeah, you don't routinely need two additional light dispersing glass surfaces.

The squirrel shot is tremendously fun.

The shot of the pink bike and the front porch is brilliant for evoking a 
sense of place and social class, apart from being in color it's 
downright theraultian.  You also did a brilliant job on the color, 
something about it being slightly washed out in some places reminds me 
of a decades old print.

Re: GESO: Photowalk from 4/02

[Walt Gilbert]

Thanks, Larry!

I had a near-miss shot of that squirrel that would've been great if I'd 
been 1/10 second quicker on the shutter button -- jumping from the fence 
to a security light pole. Unfortunately, there was a satellite dish 
attached to the pole, and he jumped behind it, leaving only his tail in 
view.


And thanks for the kind words on the bike shot, too. It was a tiny 
little home, full of life. The bike's design suggested a kind of 
washed-out photo -- like an old Polaroid dug out of a shoebox in the 
attic. So, that's what I went for.


Thanks again!

GESO: Photowalk and a Friend

[Walt Gilbert]

Hi all,

Well, I took the cameras out for a stroll yesterday and ended up hanging 
out and having a few beers with a friend for the night. She's a fetching 
young lady names Sarah and she was kind enough to allow me to photograph 
her after a little loosening up.


I applied one or two of the new Picasa filters that I thought were 
interesting -- Cinemascope and Infrared Film. Of course, your mileage 
may vary. I thought they added something to a few photos that otherwise 
would have been rather meh.


Here they be:

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157629323176560/

All of these were shot with the K-x fitted with the A-50/1.7

Comments and critiques are, as always, welcome.

Thanks!

There's a very lovely, informal and candid intimacy about them that's
very appealing. (Note that I mean the Sarah shots. :-) )

I'd have pulled back a little so as to not crop her mouth in those
last two, but I can understand your impulse. Once you find a fetching
and willing female subject there's a desire to stick close to her. :-)

Good shootin' pardner!

 Hi all,

 Well, I took the cameras out for a stroll yesterday and ended up hanging
 out
 and having a few beers with a friend for the night. She's a fetching
 young
 lady names Sarah and she was kind enough to allow me to photograph her
 after
 a little loosening up.

 I applied one or two of the new Picasa filters that I thought were
 interesting -- Cinemascope and Infrared Film. Of course, your mileage may
 vary. I thought they added something to a few photos that otherwise would
 have been rather meh.

 Here they be:

 All of these were shot with the K-x fitted with the A-50/1.7

 Comments and critiques are, as always, welcome.

 Thanks!

I suppose there's an outside chance of that, and I'm sure I'll see her 
again soon, since she wants prints of the photos I sent her.

Very good stuff, Walt. I love seeing that flowering tree -- is it a

I like that crumbling window, but I think a more squarish crop, in
tight, might be better. I'd try an 8x10 format.

Re: GESO: Photowalk -- 3/13/2012

[Walt Gilbert]

Thank you, David.

The flowers are just about perfectly situated for photographing, sitting 
on top of a steep roadside embankment, about seven feet above the road. 
Just a hop over a shallow ditch and about two steps up the side of the 
embankment, and you're right there. The biggest challenge is not sliding 
down the embankment.

Thank you, Bruce! I believe that's a Bradford pear tree, if I'm not 
mistaken. They're beautiful when they blossom in spring, and grow really 
fast. But, from my experience, you have to be hyper vigilant about 
keeping them pruned. Otherwise, they shed limbs like crazy and split at 
the slightest provocation.




I like that crumbling window, but I think a more squarish crop, in
tight, might be better. I'd try an 8x10 format.
I toyed with that crop aspect at first, but for some reason, my eye 
wanted to see more of the brickwork. I'll have to revisit it since you 
mentioned it.

Re: GESO: Photowalk -- 3/13/2012

[Walt Gilbert]

Thanks, Dan!

Those are old Burley tobacco barns that don't get much use these days as 
very few farmers grow it anymore. The old saying goes, you have to be 
strong in the back and weak in the mind to grow tobacco -- and I guess 
all the old guys' backs have finally given out.


The dog was too good-looking a beast not to get a few shots of him -- 
extremely friendly and kind of a goofball. I'd have probably spent the 
rest of my daylight playing with him if he hadn't lost interest an gone 
on about his business. I got a few other shots of him that I liked, but 
am still working to see what I want to do with them.


Thanks again!

[Walt Gilbert]

Thank you, Frank!

The Purina wall is one I've photographed dozens of times, but manages to 
keep frustrating me. The roof line of the building is extremely close to 
the top-left corner of that sign and it always ruins the image in my eye.


And the flag on the front porch was the very thing that caught my eye. 
That particular home has lots of interesting photo fodder on the 
property -- weeping willows, a duck pond, old horse wagons, old gas 
station signs, etc -- and one of these days I'm going to see if I can 
get permission just to wander around on it taking photos.
