Re: PESO: A Ford for Ken
On 13/8/05, Paul Stenquist, discombobulated, unleashed: Shot a few more pics on Woodward last night. I tried an even slower shutter speed. This one is at 7/10ths of a second, f8, ISO 400. It was shot just after the ball went down. And it's a Ford, which should please of resident Ford man, Mr. Waller. Although I have to say right up front, that this car precedes Ken's days with the company by a few years. I may try a few tonight with fill flash on trailing curtain shutter. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3631900size=lg Excellent - that's a beautiful shot Paul.

RE: PESO: A Ford for Ken
Hi Paul I find your experiments very interesting and would like to see more, maybe combined with flash? The Ford is well done. greetings Markus -Original Message- From: Paul Stenquist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 4:35 AM To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: PESO: A Ford for Ken Although the results aren't sharp in the way a conventional pic should be, the focus has to be accurate to get a nice effect. When it's not, there are no edges, and the dynamic feeling is lost. I focus manually on a spot on the street and try to time the exposure so that the center of the car will arrive at that spot halfway through they exposure.

Re: PESO: A Ford for Ken
Thanks Markus. I am going to try some with a bit of flash on trailing curtain shutter, but the weather has turned. I'm hoping that i have another chance to shoot a bit during the week. The cruise concludes next Saturday. Paul On Aug 14, 2005, at 1:35 PM, Markus Maurer wrote: Hi Paul I find your experiments very interesting and would like to see more, maybe combined with flash?

I thought of you when I looked at the negs today. What a wonderful series you have with your shots from this year.

Re: PESO: A Ford for Ken
Well thanks, Frank. I'm blushing. I hate to be a PESO pig, but I was thinking of posting another :-). You're encouragement makes it a virtual lock :-)). Oink!

BTW, sometimes one gets on a roll, or there's an event going on and one has lots of pix to share - so why not? When I got back from NYC, I flooded the list with PESOs. Then, nothing for a week or two, as I haven't been able to get to my lab. If you got 'em, share 'em, I say. And, as I said, I love this series of yours. Look forward to more - cars from the days when men were men and cars were cars (for better or worse vbg). cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
