Cricket's easy.

You have two sides; one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in goes out and, when he's out, he comes in 
and the next man goes out to be in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in 
goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out and, when 
he is out, he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when 
the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have got out and both sides have 
been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, 
that is the end of the game.

Much simpler than American handegg.

I read up about Pixel Shift. Your new camera & several others now have 
built in routines but, sadly, not my K5. However, Pixel Shift can also 
be achieved via Photoshop so I'll have a look at that.


If you need to know anything about cricket, I can fill you in. Played a 
lot up to Club level in my youth. International Cricket, is in reality a 
"different" game with the advanced skill levels needed to succeed - like 
in any top level sport I suppose.

an APS-C sensor and how sensitive that is going to be to even 
microscopic camera movement.
Yesterday I was using the mechanical shutter and my usual casual

Today I used the self timer, electronic shutter, turned off auto focus

sound of a shutter firing.


These images were shot with the 60mm macro lens

First we have an image using the Accurate colour mode which uses 20 
exposures to give full color information to each pixel.






Nest is a crop of an image shot in high resolution mode which uses 20 
exposures to extend the size of the image to

10304 x 15456 pixels





Enjoy, but be aware these files are upwards of 1mb each.

I uploaded one more file, it's one plucked out of the 20 exposures.
The pixel shift, as expected from my experience with Pentax, handles

Re: PESO x2 (insects)

I've seen cicadas and stick insects up close and personal .. cicadas 
more often.. when they emerge in desert climes, as they did in the early 
nine ties when
Richard and I were in Las Vegas at our /pied a terre, /they were 
certainly not hard to spot.. not enough places to hide.


I like your two captures though too bad the skeeters where getting to 
you.. which clearly prevented you getting the entire stick in your 
photo, yes?

Re: PESO x2: Petrified Forest

Beautiful scenes, well captured, Dave. I'll bet it often looks rather 
different. I can make out some of some fossilised logs in the first 
image. We have some on the Transkei Wild Coast but I have but I have 
never been there. I have seen museum exhibits clearly showing the 
fossilised rings.

PESO x2: Fly Agarics

[David Mann]

While I was running up on the hill I encountered a few patches of fly agaric 
mushrooms. I don't see that type often so it was nice to see so many in one 
outing. Sadly they're a sign of our wettest February on record. Most were quite 
small but the biggest one I found would have been around 6 or 7 inches in 
diameter.

These are just phone pics which I took to show my daughter.

Wow, that's impressive. My daughter liked it too.

The fungus on our tree is quite large and it's right down at the base. We had a 
smaller tree down by the river which split and fell in a storm a few months 
ago. That one was rotten inside with fungus on its trunk that we hadn't 
noticed. We've been thinking about getting some arborists in at some stage 
anyway, sadly the two trees with fungus were ones I'd been wanting to keep.

I'm not sure whether the tree was still alive. Seeing mushrooms like that on a 
trunk was a surprise to me as well. There were several clusters at different 
heights. The one I photographed was at about my head height.

I've seen very small mushrooms growing from crevices of tree trunks before but 
nothing this big.  We have some impressive bracket fungi on our property, one

to be cut down as a result as it'll be weakening the wood.

Re: PESO x2: Mushrooms

[Henk Terhell]

Í don't know. Contrary to eastern and southern Europeans, most people
in our area have little knowledge of the edibility of mushrooms and
are cautious therefore.
And it is officially forbidden to gather mushrooms in our nature reservates.
I once followed a short course in fungi and in the field the
instructor chewed on many mushrooms as a way of identifying.

Re: PESO x2: Mushrooms

[Henk Terhell]

Of course it is hard for me to tell from the other side of the world,
but in my European books it looks closest to Rhodotus palmatus (netted
Rhodotus or rosy veincap). Though rare in W-Europe a spike has been
seen of this mushroom due to the Dutch elm disease.

Yes, I'm aware of that. There's no chance of me trying to eat one as I don't 
like mushrooms anyway. I've also mentioned to my daughter many times that many 
poisonous mushrooms look like edible ones so she knows not to handle them.

Re: PESO x2: Mushrooms

I like both shots but have a slight preference for the fly agaric..  The 
first one is fascinating though.. it looks like something we -should- 
know..


aside to Ralf - I think Dave knows that - since he named it .  The nice 
thing about it's looks -it isn't likely to be confused with a anything 
edible.

Re: PESO x2: Fantail

[David Mann]

OK I decided to have another look at the rendering and I've been learning a lot 
more about Adobe Camera Raw in the process.

I've boosted the exposure a bit, tweaked the colour and applied some (well, a 
lot of) noise reduction, masking out the areas where I wanted to keep fine 
detail.  I've also toned down the white background highlights a little.  I am 
absolutely loving the adjustment brush tool.  It would be nice to have 
Photoshop-style selection tools but I think I can cope.

New:

I wasn't planning to spend my whole evening doing photo editing but it's nice 
to learn some new tricks.

Re: PESO x2: Fantail

[David Mann]

Thanks everyone for the feedback.  Due to shooting wide-open and having the 
exposure wrong I wasn't expecting much so I was pleasantly surprised to have 
them come out so well.  I might revisit the rendering if I get some time later.

Cheers,
Dave

Very nice. You can easily boost the exposure when rendering.

Re: PESO x2: More Magnolias

David,

I totally agree with Dan on the first one: it looks wonderful!

Something bothers my eyes in the second one. This crop doesn't quite work 
for me. I would have tried either a bit tighter or a bit wider crop, not 
sure which one would work the best.

Re: PESO x2: Another couple of spring flowers

[Igor PDML-StR]

Well captured!
I particularly like the Grape Hyacinth: the nice range of colors is well 
contrasted by the background.


The color of Helleborus (at least this one) is not among my favorites 
(it's close to what I call "dirty colors" [as opposed to "clear" colors]).
And I am not sure how it would look, but I would have tried to keep the 
leaf uncropped and see if they look better that way.


Cheers,
Igor

Re: PESO x2: Monarch

[David Mann]

I just looked it up, our ones are indeed the same ones from the American 
continent.

I've always found that macro lens to be very versatile.  It's always quite easy 
to find a few interesting things to photograph in the garden.  The only 
downside is that you may find yourself in a few contorted positions in the 
process.  I was using a watering can as a makeshift tripod for those ones.

Cheers,
Dave

Re: PESO x2: Monarch

[Alan C]

Very smart images, Dave.  I really need to get going with my FA 100/2.8!

Are your Monarchs the same as the ones in the USA. We get (African) 
Monarchs here but they are a different species.

Yes, I should but I'm a bit short of time these days.

I have taken over 6,000 photos of my daughter with my phone if that counts!

Re: PESO x2: Foundation Car Park, Street Art

[David Mann]

There are charging points scattered around in a few carparks, particularly the 
brand-spanking-new multilevel building in the centre of town.  Most supermarket 
carparks now have a couple of chargers.  I think this one was just somebody 
being opportunistic.  There are many empty building sites which have been 
converted to unsealed carparks.

Despite that photo the rebuild is progressing well.  Anyone who's visited the 
city before wouldn't recognise it.

The scaffolding and scissor lift are part of another building which I assume is 
being repaired.

Dave

Well you're preaching to the converted here Bruce - as you know.

Jeanloup Sieff was a major inspiration for me in my college days.
Although I never had the wherewithal to take on nude studies as a
student (the studio was always in use by advanced students with plenty
of self-confidence), I did look at the reportage and other work he did,
and tried to emulate his ideas.

Of course, later in life, one appreciates the nuances and subtlety of
some of the images I once thought of as pretty pedestrian, and
admonishes the work that (at the time) seemed avant-garde. I guess
that's life.

Sieff's nude work is sheer brilliance for me, and I have to say I think
in these two photographs I think you've managed to capture two of the
contrasting styles of Sieff very well.

The first (Nude study #1) is very representative of Sieff in both pose
and lighting. Really like it, and a mischievous hand adds a nice touch
(quite literally). You've really nailed it mate. Superb homage.

The 2nd (Camille in garters and stockings) is a raucous pose with huge
sense of fun and the unexpected. I remember looking at similar images as
a student and really not liking them at all. Decades later, with a
little of life experience under the belt, I now know how wrong I was.
What I really like here is the hint of tattoo that adds an extra bit of
interest - creating brief uncertainty - and finally a shrug of the
shoulders. One isn't certain if it is a hidden message in light and
shadow or some other playful thing.

In fact, it was Sieff's way of saying 'actually I don't care what you
think'. For as he was so infamous for saying: 'I make the photographs
for myself. If you should like them as well, too bad!'

Very well done mate. Take my hat off to you.

And maybe eat it.

PESO x2 Camille & Jeanloup Sieff

[Bruce Walker]

This mini project came about in a way because of Annsan. :)

A couple of years ago I bought a book of the nude and erotic work of
Jeanloup Sieff from Ann. I loved it and considered how I might like to
pay homage to him one day.

Camille approached me to shoot nudes. She had taken a half year break
from modelling, had recently been working out, was feeling great about
her body, and felt that now was the right time to end the hiatus. I
suggested that we use Jeanloup Sieff as an inspiration and she loved
the idea.

We shot on Monday. Here are the first two retouches I arbitrarily selected ...

Nude study #1

PESO x2: Ducks

[David Mann]

I managed to take the 400mm lens for a walk when I was in Wanaka a couple of 
weeks ago.

An NZ scaup poses out of the water:
http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/879/#peso

And a closeup of a mallard (I rarely bother to photograph these now):
http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/880/#peso

Both are cropped, but not by much.

Cheers,
Dave

Re: PESO x2 - Sunday in the office

[Bruce Walker]

Thanks, Paul.

This is the very first time I have intentionally toned an image for
viewing on paper. :) I am modelling the look after Mapplethorpe's
images as seen in his book Some Women (Bullfinch Press, 1989) and
almost all the tones lie in the extreme end zones; ie really dark and
really light. Yes, challenging to smartphones and other portable
devices, but them's the breaks. :)

I expect to be printing a few of the portraits for exhibition in the
spring, and I'm pretty sure I'll have to do a few test prints before I
get it right.
