Re: Some people are just crazy

[Paul Stenquist]

I think it's great, and it certainly belongs on Facebook. On the other hand I 
realize that the social mores of some differ from mine and from the moral code 
of our contemporary society. They're not crazy, just different. It's odd that 
the modern world is quick to condemn those who disparage others because their 
religion or skin color is different but we think it's perfectly okay to mock  
those whose moral code differs from our own and categorize them as crazy. 
Another example of how political correctness has failed us.

Re: Exposure Choices

I simply noted a reference to LR "exposure compensation" and it set me to 
wondering
what it might uniquely offer.
Thanks all who responded!

I don't see an "exposure compensation" control in Lightroom. Only exposure. 
No matter: it's a bias-offset adjustment for all values in the image and does 
what the exposure compensation adjustment on your camera does: raises the 
values by the same offset across the board. 

Brightness in PS does essentially what the Whites slider in LR does when using 
the Process 2012 (Current) controls: it is a curves adjustment affecting the 
upper half of the Tone Curve histogram, but doesn't allow you to pull pixel 
values over the set white point, which is established by the Exposure slider.

FSF: Lenses and More Lenses

[Bill]

I still have some very desirable lenses up for grabs.

20-40  209  $500.0

15 LTD 228  $375.00

21mm 368$300.00

35mm LTD  584   $325.00

40mm 717$200.00

70mm 4327   $350.00

60-250 1201 $800.00

Again, the number beside the focal length is the number of pictures 
Lightroom says I have shot with that particular one.
All are in very good, lightly used condition, no fungus, and clean 
glass, with very little internal dust.

According to a couple of list members, I have undervalued them.

Really, you should do yourself a favour and buy one or more of these 
lenses, you won't be sorry.


Terms of sale are below:

I am the original owner of all of them.

They will come with their original hoods, and both front and rear lens 
caps, though I will not guarantee that the rear caps are original. I 
might have to send one or two out with knock off caps.
They all work, I live in a dry climate, so fungus is not an issue, all 
have normal amounts of dust internally. They have all been gently and 
quite lightly used and have not been abused.


Lenses will come in their original boxes.

Lenses are sold on an as is basis, I guarantee that they work properly 
when boxed for shipment.
Shipping will be at the buyers expense, I will ship at actual cost using 
buyer's preferred conveyance, and at buyer's risk.


Paypal is a suitable means of payment, and funds must be received in 
full prior to shipment.


Replying to this email indicates acceptance of my terms of sale.

Thanks

bill

Re: A K-1 Experiment

[Paul Stenquist]

I measured with the lens focus. it’s 45 feet to the feeders. I can get closer, 
but then I’m off the deck. I sometimes shoot from about 30 feet. The handheld 
stuff is from about 12 feet, sitting on a bench near the feeders.

PESOs Angry Red

[Paul Stenquist]

This guy was yelling at me from high up in an oak tree.  K-1, 150-450, A2XS 
converter, 900mm, f11, 1/2000th. ISO 3200. Pushed 1.5 and 1 stops in post, 
respectively. So we're looking at ISO 9600 and 6400, respectively. The K-1 
makes a lot of things possible, that were once impossible, at least for me.  I 
could have gone to a slower shutter speed of course, but I didn’t have time to 
fiddle, and the sky background changed the exposure radically.

You would need the pentax to 4/3rds adapter for that Boris. Do these

Hello there...

My brother brought me Leica to m43 adapter by Panasonic. I also have
Pentax K to Leica adapter by Novoflex. So, I took my A 50/1.2 for a
walk today. It turns out that infinity focus is at about 15 m (beyond
10 m mark on lens focus scale, but quite far from infinity mark). This
is not good, but beside that, pictures come out just fine.

Using this lens even at f1.2 and getting accurate focus is
extraordinarily easy... The view finder (being really nice and
comfortable for me EVF) shows in-focus transition really clearly.
Also, on-demand magnification and focus peaking help a lot.

Here are some pictures to back up my words with actions:

Very nice silhouette photos!

I think _IMG1376.jpg (the 3rd one, with the two boats only) is the most
appealing to the emotions, while the first one (the guy fishing),
_IMG1421.jpg, is the best from the technical point of view.

The last two protraits, especially the very last one are very nice, as you
get caught those people looking into the camera in a very casual way,
which creates the "interaction" (and before they all tensed up, trying to
pose for the shot).

Igor

Re: OT - Michael Reichmann dead at 71

Sad news indeed...

Luminous Landscape was one of the sites that I was reading constantly
and that helped me enormously when I was making my first steps into
this wonderful hobby of mine.

Some years ago, Michael posted that his prints could have been bought
to help one his friends fight cancer. We bought one print, framed it
and hanged it in our apartment... Little did I know then...

RIP, Michael.

Yep, nothing's really changed. Sturgeon's law still holds: "Ninety

Re: DA*16-50mm/2.8 and FA28-70mm/2.8

I had a loan of the 28-70 and an MZ-s body for about five months.  Apart from
being plastic-bodied, I couldn't fault it.

Sheesh.. I was just commenting on someone else's comment, which you omitted. 
I'm not interested in starting another nauseating "film vs. digital" thread.


Its an opinion I have about those with a P+S or cell phone that think 
they're a photographer.


Good photography is still good photography and bad photography is still bad 
photography regardless of what is used and who pushes the shutter release.


Continue to enjoy your adventures in instant film photography.

Very nice silhouette photos!

I think _IMG1376.jpg (the 3rd one, with the two boats only) is the most
appealing to the emotions, while the first one (the guy fishing), 
_IMG1421.jpg, is the best from the technical point of view.


The last two protraits, especially the very last one are very nice, as you 
get caught those people looking into the camera in a very casual way, 
which creates the "interaction" (and before they all tensed up, trying to 
pose for the shot).

I've come to the conclusion that I will not have an opportunity to do 
much wet processing of older
photos, particularly given the size of the archive, which goes back 49 
years!  So, now I am scanning
only those worth preserving and probably leaving to my son, as they will 
be the main family history
photos.  The link below is of a shot I just scanned from 1972 - I think 
the quality holds up well.

John, this is the "white list" version of CPR Call Blocker. I have never
used it, but I'm sure it works as well as the other version. Bonus is that
it's $30 cheaper.

This is something that has bemused me for some time.

Whenever I use the 18-135, it takes about 3-4 seconds for the image to

with any other lens, writing to the card is pretty much instantaneous.

Apart from differences in FL & max aperture, the 18-135 is motor drive
while the others are screw drive, but why would any of these factors
affect the speed of writing to the card?

The same behaviour occurs irrespective of any card I use (the current
one is a Transcend 16GB, Class 10 45MB/s).

The issue isn't a critical one for the sort of shooting I do (although
it's annoying when shooting a bracketed set) but it's curious.

Any thoughts?


Have you got lens corrections turned on? That might be a culprit.

Wonderful image & project.

I'm going through the images I took when I was small and family photos. I've
decided not to make a call on what is worth doing and what isn't, and I'm
just plodding through doing the lot as and when I have spare time. At the
moment my boys don't see any real importance in family history or photos,
and assume it will take care of itself in the future. It won't. I'm doing
them now and sending those applicable to other parts of the (now somewhat
geographically spread) family. Someone, at some future point may find them
of interest. The real issue is getting sidetracked by some images!

PESO - from the archives

[John Coyle]

I've come to the conclusion that I will not have an opportunity to do much wet 
processing of older
photos, particularly given the size of the archive, which goes back 49 years!  
So, now I am scanning
only those worth preserving and probably leaving to my son, as they will be the 
main family history
photos.  The link below is of a shot I just scanned from 1972 - I think the 
quality holds up well.
