Re: GESO - Metropolis

[Toralf Lund]

Thanks!

Maybe I could have left the images a bit darker in post processing. I 
always find that kind of thing hard to judge. The film is supposed to 
give a "desaturated look", or something of that nature.


The gallery thing I'm using wants to scale images to available size 
(with borders) and doesn't offer an easy way to zoom in. The thumbnails 
at the bottom were supposed to have more direct links to the original, 
but sometimes add "frames", too. And maybe the files were also scaled a 
bit on upload. Need to have a closer look at everything if I continue to 
use this...


looks like the monument to the mand in the middle is eying the 
scooter(?) left in font of him

:-)

That's one of those "electric scooters" that seem to be everywhere these 
days. They annoy a lot of people, but I think they make nice subjects 
sometimes.

What is the ‘special’ film you used?


The film is actually called Metropolis. Lomography brand. Which I guess 
often means a repackaged/rebranded version of something else, possibly 
intended for a different purpose, but I think they claim that this one 
is actually a new film.



  I have been taking B film photos lately, mainly Ilford FP-4, but I have

Exactly. I also got a roll of Lomography Potsdam Kino 100. Might be similar.

I think most new cars no longer have a spare tyre as standard equipment

the tyre with a mixture of air and a gluey substance. I guess it works

Changing mandated mandated behavior of a system. on a whim to "fix"
behavior that no one really complained about, then deciding come hell or
high water that he's right while users scream at him is worse than a sin.

No truly successful organization that I've ever worked for would have let

I know that using the word ass won't get this post banned from the PDML but

P.J.,

It would be REALLY strange if the update to Firefox would fix whatever 
problems you are having with Thunderbird...


;-)

On a serious note, speaking of that "reply"-button problem, - have you 
(and everybody else on the list who suffers from it) submitted a bug 
report on it?

If not, - you should.
As I sort of said elsewhere, I did. Unfortunately, the report got marked 
as a duplicate of another issue (which I didn't notice when searching), 
and that issue is marked as WONTFIX. But I'm still shouting.



1. They might not be aware of it.
2. They might not think that change was a problem...
Part of the issue seems to be that one of the developers behind the 
change has decided that it's not a problem, no matter how many people 
say that it is in fact a problem.


3. The priority of the problem fixing is decided by the overall 
loudness (hence the number) of complaints.

... but even some loudness might still help, perhaps...

Meanwhile, I found that the situation gets a little better if you

1. Right-click on the header in the message view and select "Customise..."
2. Drag the button marked "Reply" from the main window to the
   "Customise Toolbar" window (so as to remove it from the view.)
3. Press Done in the window I just mentioned.

The message view will then only have a "Smart reply" button which 
alternates between "Reply", "Reply All" and "Reply List" depending on 
the context. (Note that the behaviour changes compared to when you also 
have the "normal" "Reply" button, because then the "Smart Reply" then 
hides itself in some cases.)


Actually, the situation might be acceptable if you could also add "Smart 
reply" to the main tool-bar and have a keyboard short-cut for it. There 
are bug reports related to this, too, but they're not exactly new, so 
there is a question of whether the issues will ever be addressed.


I still think the "Reply" implementation is wrong in principle, though...

whatever, which more often that not touch on problems other people will 
have, too.


Anyhow, I think the e-mail application should respect the choice made by 
the list admin through the Reply-to header setting, and not enforce its 
own ideas. Perhaps everyone should here should nag the Thunderbird 
developers to get them to revert the change...

I mostly use Linux; CentOS 6 and 7 distributions. It's where I do 
development at work, actually. I can't say I like the GNOME 3 desktop of 
the latter version much, but apart from that I'm quite happy with it,

Anyone using GIMP recently? Or running PhotoShop using WINE?
Yep. Using GIMP, too. Works for me, but it's been ages since I tried 
PhotoShop, so I'm might not be too helpful if you want to a comparison.


I generally do "raw conversion" in RawTherapee

"levels" etc. there. I tend to pre-process in this tool even when 
scanning film. I think it does the job rather well.

Yes. I learned something new, too.

As far as I know, we have two different species of newts here, and they 
are both considered as endangered. It hadn't occurred to me that you 
might come across them at this particular location, although it has a 
couple of ponds which I think are artificial. On the other hand, I'd 
heard that they can be found in a certain area a couple of kilometres 
away...

Yeah, maybe that's the surprising bit. Apparently, you can find them in

  Many reptiles are able to survive very cold conditions
by hibernating. Even here, where it doesn't get very cold, the lizards &
snakes tend to be quite sluggish on cooler mornings.

Quite. I few years ago I actually came across a slow-worm on the
pavement near where I live. This was an a cool evening rather than
morning, and the English name of the creature seemed quite appropriate,
if you know what I mean.


I would say those are
in the process of emerging from hibernation. Perhaps you should have
observed them over an extended period?

Anyhow, I actually asked the natural history museum, and according to
them, this is in fact not a lizard after all, but rather a newt in its
"terrestrial phase", also known as an "eft". I thought these would have
flatter and thicker tails, but I guess that's something that they
develop later... Apparently, they will wander from their place of
hibernation to dams around this time, and run a great risk of drying out
if it's too sunny. There is also a change that they have been forced out
into the sun because their place has been disturbed.

Octopus is quite good, when done right.  My first experience with it

Octopus is a local specialty in Mykonos, and they know how to do it
well.  The traditional way of tenderizing it is to slam it against a
rock 100 times, but I suspect they have easier methods today.  In any
event, this dish was quite tasty, as were the caramelized onions
served with it.  A glass of Ouzo completes the experience.

Got one fairly good glimpse at the moon through the clouds before it

there

is texture to the moon's surface. Later there was another glimpse
through thinner clouds when the moon was half covered by the earth's
shadow.

When I checked at the time it was supposed to peak, I saw a dark grey
spot in the clouds where the moon should have been. It lasted for an
instant or so before more clouds rolled in.

I thought about setting my camera up anyway, maybe try to get 
something

to use for the "Wind" PUG, but I couldn't really figure out how to get
anything other than a grey smear against the darker grey of higher 
clouds.


So, anyway, I did see some of the super-moon & eclipse, but never 
enough

to justify burning any electrons to try to capture an image.

Exactly.

I actually mentioned it partly because I posted something similar

I wouldn't know even if I did.
I lived with one of those ME Supers for a number of years. Still have 
it...somewhere.

You should take it out for a spin :-)

I got mine a few years ago as I bought a package where I really wanted 
one of the lenses (and didn't have to pay more than it was worth.) I 
don't use it much, but it's a handy camera to carry around with a single 
lens, if you don't mind shooting film.


I may also need little projects like shoot a roll of BW with this 
particular camera and one lens myself these days, if I'm going to take 
any pictures at all.

I've been walking around with an old ME Super loaded with T-Max 400

The problem with sling bags is that they will keep sliding to your side

when I cycle around with my small Tamrac. Perhaps other models/brands

I think there are several reasons for the fall off in postings.  The
web-based DP Review  Pentax Forums are easy to find for people
looking for info on their new cameras and for help with problems.
Also PDML has morphed into (mainly) a photo sharing list - nothing
wrong with that but there seems to be few gear-related postings except
when a new model is rumoured or released.  Perhaps we're all so
familiar with our cameras that we don't need any assistance.

I'm not sure how to increase participation. I tried a number of

Lately I've noticed that the volume of PDML posts is way down. So,
being off this week and having some spare time, I did some research in
the archives.

In January 2015, there were 1234 posts from 52 members.
In January 2014, there were 2587 posts from 74 members.
In January 2013, there were 2667 posts from 70 members.
In January 2012, there were 3418 posts from 88 members.
In January 2011, there were 5091 posts from 109 members.
In January 2010, there were 4764 posts from 110 members.

So, in five years, active members are down by half, and the number of
posts is down by 3/4.

There is more competition than there used to be (especially, recently,
from Facebook), but IMHO the PDML remains the best (of many) photo
discussion venues I've used over the decades. It would be good to turn
around this decline.

How do we draw in new members? How do we keep both new and existing members?

I probably found out about the PDML from the Pentax official web site,

Yeah.

Lots of nice shots. Like others who have commented, I really like Rick's

Ann's - there is something about managing to get those really nice shots

One shot that stands out for me and I have to say this is the strongest

I like John Sessoms' shot a lot, as I do Annsan's.

First, just a quick comment that while talking about outresolving 

lenses,
one should also keep in mind that due to the discretization of the 

pixelated
media, the effective resolution of a lens can be still reduced, even if 

the
sensor's pixels/mm number is larger than lines/mm number for the lens. 

(The
guy in that recent Nikon vs Canon video that was linked a few days ago 

in a

different thread discusses that.) So, increase in the pixel density of a
factor of 1.28 in principle can produce some significant effect for some
lenses if you are going from 6 MP to 7.7 MP.

In this case, the same argument may apply for the sharpest lenses.
(Maybe even  prime * lenses of Pentax?)

Nyquist rate times the bayer pattern.

Double should be good enough to get unaliased luminance data, but you 
need to look at the sample rate for each color. What you are really 
asking for is that each color be sampled at over the nyquist rate.


Exactly.

I'm also wondering if the extra green of the bayer pattern is rather 
pointless at such a resolution, but I haven't really thought about it a 
lot...


I wonder if there are pathological cases where the repeating pattern 
is at 45 degrees and you need another 1.4 times the resolution to 
avoid aliasing.

Hmmm... Also something to consider, I suppose.

I think that a lot of what he is going through is what Pentaxians
would/will be going through if/when Pentax ever offers a full frame
camera. You don't really realize how much you are taking advantage of
(relying on) the 1.5x focal length factor (actually equiv. FOV) of the
APS-C until you try to replicate your lenses on a full frame system.
To try to find lenses that still give you that focal length and
maximum aperture becomes an expensive proposition, when it is possible
at all.

Extreme example: DA* 200mm f2.8 can be bought for under $1K. (More
like $700, used) 300mm equiv. FOV on APS-C
Move to a full frame, now you need a 300mm f2.8 to replicate that FOV.


Not really, if the full-frame camera gets an equivalent pixel density to the 
APS-C one(s). You might then use the 200mm as before, and crop by 1.5x in post 
processing, and get exactly the same result...

- T



Price one of those lately? A Sigma is $3400. A more reasonable choice
would be a 300mm f4. You've replicated the FOV, but lost a full stop
of light.

In the end, we had a bigger gallery than I expected.  As usual, you'll

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not

gallery, let me know.

Next up is one that can't be put off until the last minute.  
Synchronicity' requires taking a photo on the date of the September 
Equinox, which is rapidly approaching.


The actual time of the equinox will be on 22 or 23 September, 
depending on your locality.  You can find the actual time for your 
locality here:

The photo should be taken during a 24 hour period - 12 hours either

The subject of the submitted images can be whatever you like but 
images taken around the areas where you all live might make the 
gallery a bit more interesting - but that's only a suggestion.

Actually, the bench *is* in the PUG. Shot from a slightly different 
angle in that case, though :-) Several other buildings there might have 
fit, too. Fortunately, there are others that are old, but also well 
maintained, or are being restored.

Hi,

Didn't notice your questions until now...

I have to admit I'm not 100% sure what these are. I believe lythrum 
salicaria is what's called kattehale (meaning cat's tail) in 
Norwegian, and they certainly grow wild in the general area. I think 
they are native (as opposed to having spread from gardens or whatever.)




Anyhow - good set, beautiful valleys.

Thanks.

Well, I guess we don't really have them here, either, generally. There 
is some more modern equipment in this place, too, I suppose, but things 
are still done in a quite traditional way (by the handful of people who 
still keep livestock there.) Which I rather like.


Looks like a wonderful place.
Yes, it's really nice. You know, a lot of people around here have some 
kind of summer residence in mountain areas, but many of their locations 
have developed from rural areas to something more like towns, and the 
simple cabins have been replaced with what's more like houses with all 
modern facilities. This place is not like that.


Thanks for looking.

Somehow, train stations work much better than airports for this kind

Yeah, I think you are right. I'm not sure I've ever taken a decent photo

Perhaps I should remove more. Or less. I can spend *hours* trying to

better idea to avoid it altogether ;-) In this case I ended up removing 
the empty bits at the left and right, and letting the aspect ratio

Most of the time you shouldn't think about this, though, but instead use

This is the 200 variant, though - which seemed to replace the 100 as the

development in Oslo, or a new extension of a slightly older one, if you 
like. It's a rather nice place to hang out on a sunny summer day, which 
we had a lot of this year, so I've been there quite a few times, like 
many other people. It's also easily the area in the city, if not the 
entire country, with the highest prices, so if you feel like drinking 
beer, you may consider going elsewhere. Not to mention if you're going 
to buy a flat :-)

I do think I see some light fall-off

You could say that's your in-camera pre-crop vignetting effect:)

I like it.

I've probably mentioned it before, but I find that the old and worn out 
(or fallen down) will often make interesting subjects.





I'd love to know the origin of the name - could be an interesting story.


My immediate association is Ten Sing, but...

Hi Toralf:  What an interesting summer project!  It's a nice set.

Thank you!


  On my monitor the bw rendering looks a tad flat, but YMMV.  I like a little 
more pop, but I know that's subjective.
Yes, it may be a matter of taste, or monitor adjustment, or both. I must 
admit, though, that I find it hard to judge how much tonal adjustment 
exactly ought to be applied. Some of it is always needed, as raw bw 
film scans definitely look flat, at least with my scanner.




   Great set and good luck with your project.  Cheers, Christine


Thanks again.

may say something about the full-frame performance of the lens, although what

T'ain't nuthin' wrong with that lens. Seems
like a future classic, well priced too.
Quite. Like I said earlier, it sort of brings cheap plastic feel to a 
whole new level, but I can live with that as long as the lens works 
optically. And this also means it's really light, which can be very 
convenient.




Funny that some folks have been complaining there's no reasonably fast
normal lens in the Pentax lineup.

Well, you've got to have *something* to complain about...

Lovely renderings.

Thank you.


I wonder what a compare to digital view of same would
have been, e.g. take same view with a film and a digital camera.
Now, there's another interesting little project... You might take more 
or less the same shots with this lens on a film and digital, or 
alternatively use a 24 mm (which I have) on digital, to get more or less 
the same field of view. I'm not sure I could get exactly the same 
perspective from two shots in a row, though. Perhaps if using a tripod, 
but I'd probably manage to change the setup slightly even then :-/

There's a lot to like here.  Interesting geometry, the person sitting 
on the edge of the wharf, the two symmetrical buildings in the 
distance.  Good tone to the image as well.
Thanks! This was in a way taken as a picture of the person sitting 
there, but I thought a shot like this would be more interesting than 
closer one. And nicer in a sense - this is just someone I happened to 
walk by. The towers in the background are part of the city hall.

Thanks.

The DA 35 is getting to be one of my favorite carry around lenses as 
well.
Yep. It's really nice to carry, too. As in very light. It gives an 
entirely new dimension to the term cheap plasticy toy lens feeling, of 
course, but it seems to me that it actually performs quite well ;-)
