Re: Geso My Kelby Walk

[Donald Guthrie]

Thanks for the opinion, Bruce. BTW I did not mean to neglect you as an 
influence, but everyone is clothed here. Actually the shot thru the 
blinds has a certain voyeuristic vibe.

Re: Geso My Kelby Walk

Thanks Bulent, this was a run & gun shoot (about one hour+.) More in 
your face than your contemplative recent work, which also reminds me of 
some shots Bruce posted of flowers. I really have been influenced by 
this group.

I also did some 4x5 of that shed.  Processing later this week.  Really
looking forward to printing them.
Figured out that taking along a plane made creating a fire-starting pieces
quite easy.  (Stanley #78)

Thinking that, as much as I like the quality of the Sigma 170-500 apo, that
length is not really up my alley.
I remain very much a prime lens guy.  Would like it to trade it towards a
F*300/4.5 or a FA* 200/2.8.

Re: To print or buy ?

[Donald Guthrie]

Thanks. Yes I will hunt some down maybe from Red River as Paul S 
mentions in another reply. I was referring to larger prints on sheets of 
aluminum. They are pricey but come with a hanger and require no other 
framing, mitigating cost somewhat. With the right subject and lighting 
they can be quite attractive.

Don,

Just in case: you can print on metallic paper with your Epson printer.
I've used a few different papers, - but most recently I tried this one
by Epson and liked it:

No room for cars, just pedestrians, which is pretty cool to me:

I had to take the last train out of New Haven CT a couple of nights ago,
and decided to make a photographic virtue out of necessity.

It seems that Con Rail is now using old New York New Haven and Hartford
Diesels, well at least engines painted to resemble them on their fully
electrified line...

Here's a detail from an engine that wouldn't have been out of place

Then there are the car interiors which while pretty modern looking have
a decidedly "down at the heels" look and feel about them.

Re: OT: Adobe "mobile apps and services" with CC Photo plan

[Donald Guthrie]

The Tablet aps are useful for some.For example when traveling you can 
look at a collection of photos select winners and even make adjustments 
to the photos which will be reflected the next time you open LR. The 
feature I am starting to use is the free unlimited online gallery. My 
last GESO to PDML was a link to my online Adobe cloud. You have complete 
control of which photos are public. You can set it up so that viewers to 
your site can select photos (to print for example) or even make 
comments. This seems to me to be very valuable to Wedding or event 
photographers.  All this is done by flipping a switch on any collections 
you have created. Which can be flipped off and the photos disappear 
from  the site but not you catalog. Pretty good for free.

Technical details aside, I've seen several similar images recently with
more or less snow, all captioned "How to recognize a Canadian." Iowa
apparently doesn't have a monopoly on that kind of behavior.

Re: Re: PESO - 'Northern Cardinal

[Donald Guthrie]

That sounds like a great set-up. Course I'd have to wash my windows. We 
did try feeding the birds one winter but the Spring brought a yard full 
of weeds especially thistles which I am still trying to kill-off. Oh and 
some very fat & happy squirrels. I will look forward to more of your shots.

Thanks Don.

Actually with the camera/lens set up and ready to go, its not much of a
hassle to shoot birds when you have several feeders in the area - just a
matter of being alert to when they're there and shooting. My shooting
location is from the room with a TV, so I'm not outside in the cold and am
able to other things while I wait for the birds to appear.

Looking for alternatives to insects I visited the only Rock Shop in the

a fossil of a chambered shell:

or on flickr:

16 stacked images at about 1.5x lifesizxed. K01 plus A*200 macro plus

flash to shine directly onto the fossil to reveal as much as possible in
the layers beneath the surface.

Re: Geso: photos taken with Pentax mount glass on full frame, camera

[Donald Guthrie]

Thanks for the looking, Mark C. I tend to agree so far with your 
projected use of FF vs APSC. I do not have a FF macro or even long tele 
to do any close-up work. Birding might be great with a FF Pentax & 
Paul's new lens, & futile with the Sony A7. In passing, Leica has a new 
mirror-less "sports" camera at their usual pricing. It offers one lens- 
a 28-90 for sports???

Nice collection of images, Don. I really like the first set - the snowy
scenes.

In many ways I like the effect of the crop factor but will be interested
in seeing how the FF works. I wonder if APS-C will still be the way to
go for macros and telephoto work, while full frame would have the
advantage with landscapes and general shooting. In any case, it's good
to see that the old FF pentax glass seems to hold up well.

Re:Re: Geso: photos taken with Pentax mount glass on full frame, camera

[Donald Guthrie]

Bob, Thanks for taking time to look at the photos & thanks for your 
generous remarks on my photography. Oh I did shoot film, slides mostly 
and developed and printed my own. I was shooting a Ricoh with pentax 
mount lenses because I could not afford the real thing. 90% with that 
Sears branded 50mm and & 10% with cheap telephoto.  No wide angle. My 
1st real digital was Pentax 200D.


This little experiment was to see which lenses would carry over to 
Pentax FF and if not, it does not bode well for the success of Pentax 
FF. If as you say (I I do not dispute) the buyer needs to buy new higher 
quality and higher priced glass the why go Pentax? Just go Canikon! 
Unless the Pentax is so inexpensive it lessens the blow of new lenses.


Sony has the merit of smaller sized cameras for FF. But it turns out 
that fast FF lenses are rather large. The A7 & a 35mm lens weighs 3 lbs 
and ain't pocketable. Advantage Olympus for size & weight.  back to 
Canikon for lens selection.


If I were to go Sony their 35mm ($1500) and 50mm ($1000) are among the 
sharpest lenses ever tested. Money no object it is still a big 
commitment. Many people on the web are raving about using Leica glass on 
the A7 but we all know those are pricy too. And all adapted lenses are 
manual exposure & focus. Except for Canon lenses which work as native on 
Sony with a $3000 dollar adapter. I would keep Pentax cameras & some 
lenses for sports, birds, if nothing else for the reach of the teles. & 
my K01 with a pancake or even the 18-135 is a fun kit for the casual 
walkabout.


Thanks again for giving me all this food for thought.

They're nice photos, well composed and well lit.

When I moved from film to digital I had a very high quality Contax / Zeiss film 
kit. Using the lenses with an adapter on Olympus 4/3rds gear I noticed very 
significant purple fringing with some of the lenses, which meant they were 
effectively useless for digital, so I sold all the Contax / Zeiss stuff.

So the first thing I looked for on your shots was purple fringing because I 
think (could be wrong) that it results from the different alignment of pixels 
and film wrt the light path, and subsequent interference between pixels. I 
didn't notice any in the shots of yours that I looked at. What I did notice is 
that at full magnification your shots are softer than the quality of your 
photography deserves. You don't say specifically which models of lenses you 
use, but I suspect the softness is in the glass, not including the fullness of 
the frame.

You should try and get hold of two or three equivalent focal length Sony lenses 
and shoot comparisons with your lenses under controlled conditions, as best you 
can.

Your pictures deserve better lenses. Go for quality rather than quantity.

Thanks for the look & comments, Alan. These were very informal tests. 
Many variables go into sharpness. None of these was shot on a tripod for

Some splendid shots there. Can they really get that much better? The old
glass can still do OK for most people. Several of the shots in the
greenhouse look like parts of my garden, butterflies & all (but different
species). Of course, the "wideness" or "shortness" of the lenses is just a
perception - a 28mm is still a 28mmm - we have just become trapped in APSC
crop factor mode.

VERY interesting, Don.  Thanks for sharing.

It seems to me that those boats are canoes, and that they are paddled,
like the outrigger canoes we use in Maui, rather than being rowed,
like the shells in my images from Dartmouth.  The two forms of
propulsion look very similar from shore, but are actually quite
different.  Especially with the sliding seats used on racing shells,
rowing gets most of its power from leg and back muscles, while
paddling is all upper body work.

Geso: Junktastic

[Donald Guthrie]

Some call it junk some antiques. Let's go with the gentler "Americana" 
This gallery was from an annual event at a nearby small town out her in 
Ioway. K-50 and 18-135. C if you wish. The price tags are readable on 
several items if you want me to pick something up for you, next time.

Re:PESO - some unsorted pictures,Message-ID:

[Donald Guthrie]

I always look at Dag's photos very quickly as I fear that something in 
the picture will disappear or be erased or somehow move off the frame & 
I will not ever see it, making me wish I had looked at it yesterday when 
it was complete.  Dag's photography is all about what isn't there.

A small gallery. only 3 images.

Our hotel in Athens had an interesting stairwell opposite the elevators.  I
liked the geometry and the repetition.  I'm not sure whether I want to make
it mor of an abstract or an archetectrual documentary.

Here is what I have so far:

Well David how bad is the weather there today? It's -10 F in my area now

your post but I do envy the conditions they portray.


But as to the photography, 1,3,4,7 & 9 are my picks. With Contemplation

Re: PESO - 'Bird of Chrome'

[Donald Guthrie]

Ken, I don't think the background is too awful. The lighter colored part 
is almost elegant. I did think the black box could be minimized by 
cropping tighter on top. I know it crowds the wingtips but it does turn 
the black box into smaller black strip which echo the lower part of the 
photo. BTW I too like to photo hood ornaments at car shows so enjoyed 
seeing this one from you.

Was looking at the spec for the new Olympus Pen F - are there any primes
lenses available in the 4/3 format, specifically primes, that
incorporate manual focus with aperture rings?

Lovely model, great concept.

I'm afraid to say that I think that the shadows might have one this
round. A lot of the shadows are a bit too hard edged for my taste.  The
one on the wall behind her when she's standing, in particular.
http://41.media.tumblr.com/d0fe27a5a86a32e02be579ea4a80ea77/tumblr_o2m9gs90O01rdwvm9o2_1280.jpg

In a couple others, the ones on her neck and/or shoulder.  Mind you, I'm
not saying that I could do better, but I find as a theme those shadows
distract my attention from other, more pleasing aspects of the photos.
In general, they are the shadows from the light on camera left, fairly high

I nearly really like the one with her back to the camera:
http://41.media.tumblr.com/318fa3967584e9f2dbf8e7f3021e77e3/tumblr_o2m9gs90O01rdwvm9o3_1280.jpg  


but the light seems to flatten out her figure rather than define her
lovely curves.  The right leg and arm are nice, but I think there is too
much fill on her hips and butt.

Re: Re: Peso-Spring Pondll

[Donald Guthrie]

Interesting Dan, It was quite small on my monitor. In fact I magnified 
it to fill my screen and I think I would crop it tighter than presented. 
Cropping tighter off the top loosing some sky really emphasized the 
trees & reflection as the subject & the foreground made feel like I was 
about to step into the water. I know that wasn't your problem it was too 
big on your screen I gather.

Nice image.

As it first appears on my desktop monitor, the image is WAY too large.
It is difficult to appreciate at that size.

Yes, I know how to zoom out, but ideally that should not be necessary
when visiting a photographic website.

Just my 2 cents.  YMMV.

Scilla is what they are called

Thanks Ken they were fresh that week but they do not last long

After Rick W's great image showing how beautiful Forsythia can be
(Tree Hugger PESO), I decided I had to try again to get a decent shot
of mine.  It is not as effective as Rick's, but probably the best I
have been able to get of this very difficult shrub to capture:

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18216587
K-5 IIs, FA 100 mm Macro F2.9
Comments are invited and appreciated.

I planted this particulat specimen two years ago.  Last year it was
rather weak, but it is coming along much better now.  I hope that it
will be much showier next year.

This has been a tough year for photographing flowers in my yard.  The
past 4 weeks have seen freezing weather, heavy rain, snow flurries and
haigh winds.  The blossoms on my Magnolias withered in a few days, and
turned brown and limp very quickly.  The winds tood a lot of the
flowers from my forsythia that were more out in the open.  Even the
daffodils and hyacinths have suffered from the poor weather, and are
not up to the standards of the past few years.

Oh, well, that is what one should expect in the Northeast US, I guess.

Can't argue, flattered you even tried. Not to speak for Ann, but I think

Thanks Mark C, it looks like a good frost tonite in this area blue

Geso: 1st Spring walkabout

[Donald Guthrie]

Sorry, haven't posted much here lately but I have been lurking & 
checking out everyone's posting. I have been saddened by the untimely 
deaths reported, enlightened by the tech info, and enriched by the 
quality of photography posted by the members. So PDML goes on. With the 
1st warm days snow-free days of Spring I decided to take a walk around 
the alleys of my hometown with my Pentax Q in hand last Sat, which 
turned out to be a sunny but chilly 35 degree day. If you are so 
inclined here are some photos from the walk and C is always welcomed.

I played with my camera on the way home from the dojo a few nights ago.
I mostly determined that I need to find some sharp, fast, wide glass,
preferably one that I can afford.  The 31 was neither fast, nor wide,
enough for the shot that I wanted to get of trees sticking up through
the fog.

This shot with the 8mm Samyang has been getting some attention on
flickr, and it does lend to some interesting geometry.
