I like your composition, Jack. (Blimey, your K5 is only a backup).
Could be just down the road in Mpumulanga:

BTW, Mpumalanga is the new name for the old Eastern Treansvaal & means the 
place where the sun rises.

This is the Cobra that Paul said was a replica. I had the opportunity to 
talk to the owner last Sunday and he confirmed that it is, indeed, a kit.

He said it is a Kellison Stallion powered by a 460 CID engine.

40%. Both are ISO 3200, f11, 1/400th off the tripod of course. F11 is wide open

Re: Exposure Choices

Maybe, maybe not. I'd have to go into the other room and open Photoshop
to find out for sure.

I remember (pretty sure I remember) that in a PS Contrast adjustment
layer there are two sliders - Contrast & Brightness.

AFAIK, Gamma is a slider in a different kind of adjustment layer.

Could brightness be something like gamma?

I like the presentation very much.  I like the classic Polaroid paper boarder, 
and the light shadow surrounding the entire photo makes it pop more.  

I really wouldn’t like cropping just the image area.  These are Polaroids—let 
them shine as Polaroids!

I have an old Brownie camera.  I hope to eek out some time this summer and see 
if I can find some Brownie camera film and shoot a role.  I also want to shoot 
with both my MX and Canon T90—as well as my digital Pentax kit.

I just finished a first run of clearing out photo bits and bobs and packed up 
all my photo gear in camera bags.  Feels good to prune.

It was a misnomer … LR supports adjusting the overall exposure in the range of 
+/- 5 EV total. 

That means that if you have a 'ISO-less' sensor, in other words, a sensor where 
the ISO settings on the camera are implemented by just biasing the captured 
data by an EV offset. For example, if the native ISO of the sensor is 200, you 
can achieve up to an effective ISO 6400 with it using Lightroom. I tested this 
with the Leica M9 and it worked perfectly; useful on that camera because the 
on-camera ISO setting is limited to ISO 2500. 

However, it means that you can't really see what you're doing, exposure-wise, 
with the review function on the camera, and I didn't find anything particularly 
better about the quality of the output images—they looked identical to using 
the ISO setting on the camera.

Re: PESO 2016 - 093 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Thanks Christine! 

How do you like the presentation? 

It's tricky to scan these prints due to the very glossy surface, I haven't 
gotten that down pat just yet. I'm also juggling with the notion of presenting 
them with the classic Polaroid paper border, as I did here, or just the image 
area as a square. With a white paper border, I tried my usual thin black border 
with this one to offset it with the white mat area but it seemed a little 
heavy-handed. So I want to this light shadow surround. 

Fun stuff. I love these cameras and their unique imaging feel. They're almost 
the antithesis of today's modern, razor crisp imaging.

It depends on which version of Photoshop you're using. It's gamma (or
an algorithm that has a similar effect) in CS6 and later.

Re: Some people are just crazy

[Jostein]

Totally agree with John about need of context.
It scares me is how people are willing to ignore the context given by 
the photographer, and replace it with one that resides in their warped 
minds.


I think it is a good photo. I like the way it conveys the child's 
exhaustion, and the way it conveys the father's support. Literally by 
just leaning to the wall in a strenuous posture, which probably is for 
the benefit of the photographer, but still.


Don't know if personal appeal is the right word, but the shot makes me 
feel sorry for both child and father.
