Re: GESO: Radio Control Scale Auto Racing

Excellent gallery, Paul. Many look like the full size thing. 45 years ago, 
radio control was quite crude compared with today & the units were quite 
large & heavy.

Subject: GESO: Radio Control Scale Auto Racing

Shot an on-roadl radio control scale auto race for fuel burning cars 
yesterday. Mostly just to provide some pics for my old pals, but also for 
the practice it provides. It’s far more difficult than shooting real 
motorsports, as the cars are incredibly fast and not very big. The fastest, 
the 1/8th scale cars, are about 15 inches long and can accelerate to 60 in 2 
seconds from a standing start. They top out at about 80 mph at the end of 
the straightaway. I shot most of it at a 1/8000th shutter speed and 
concentrated on getting something in frame and focused. I used continuous 
autofocus and it worked when I framed the shots right. I tried a couple of 
slower shutter pans and partially succeeded on one, although it’s not 
critically sharp. Hard to be smooth, moving the camera that fast. Lots of 
fun in any case. A gallery is here:

Thanks Ann. The big guy with the floppy hat in 7890 was national champion 45 
years ago. He's now in his mid 70s and still intense. Here he's psyching 
himself up while waiting for his race to start.

It's in a Toledo suburb, just off I-280 on Woodhaven Road. It's a permanent 
facility on city owned land. New asphalt, covered pits and a solid drivers 
stand. One of the best in the U.S.

The 1/8th scale cars have engines of 3.49 cc. Output is about 2.75 horsepower 
at 32,000 rpm. The 1/10th scale cars have engines of about 2 cc.

Can't imagine controlling them given the speed potential. Electrics are hard 
enough.

Where is the track Paul?

Re: Storm over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel - Monochrome Version

[Brian Walters]

Thanks for the comment, Igor (and Alan, Dan, Rick, Ann, Gonz).

I wonder whether others might have had the same reaction if I'd posted
the B&W version first. I hadn't considered a monochrome version until
Larry suggested it.  I have to say it worked better than I thought it
would - but I still prefer the colour version slightly.

Re: PESO - Storm over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel

[Brian Walters]

Thanks for the comments, everyone.  It seems the consensus is to leave
the image as it is, so I will.

All the comments were much appreciated.

GESO: Radio Control Scale Auto Racing

[Paul Stenquist]

Shot an on-roadl radio control scale auto race for fuel burning cars yesterday. 
Mostly just to provide some pics for my old pals, but also for the practice it 
provides. It’s far more difficult than shooting real motorsports, as the cars 
are incredibly fast and not very big. The fastest, the 1/8th scale cars, are 
about 15 inches long and can accelerate to 60 in 2 seconds from a standing 
start. They top out at about 80 mph at the end of the straightaway. I shot most 
of it at a 1/8000th shutter speed and concentrated on getting something in 
frame and focused. I used continuous autofocus and it worked when I framed the 
shots right. I tried a couple of slower shutter pans and partially succeeded on 
one, although it’s not critically sharp. Hard to be smooth, moving the camera 
that fast. Lots of fun in any case. A gallery is here:

Re: PESO - wake up call

[Bruce Walker]

I also like this from the essay: "Perhaps this is the motive at the
heart of the desire to take images – the record of a constant crossing
between feeling and thinking."

This, to me, speaks to not just Sieff's motive, but to photography in
general which is very precise, scientific and technical in many
aspects and purely artistic in others.

I have a copy of Sieff's 40 Years of Photography (Taschen) and much of
the joy of that book is in Sieff's memoirs and many little quotations
and quips used throughout. That man could write. Very dry,
self-deprecating humour; I love it.

Re: Storm over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel - Monochrome Version

[ann sanfedele]

what Rick said - the color of the clouds (I've seen that color) is 
important to the story...


The blackand white is equally nice to look at, but if you care about the 
subject matter and portraying the feeling of the moment, the color does 
it

Re: PESO - wake up call

[Bruce Walker]

I greatly enjoy Clergue's nudes. He seems to have pretty much invented
the style of superimposing highly contrasting lines -- as from hard
light through a venetian blind -- over the nude form. He also puts me
in mind of Bill Brandt with his tightly framed bodyscapes.

Sieff's style differs appreciably. He prefers more of the subject in
the frame, adding in lingerie more often, with more erotic designs.
Less distortion of the body as compared to either Brandt or Clergue.

But I appreciate all of them for their uniqueness.

Re: Peso-Tarky Shed

[Jack Davis]

Seriously, Bruce, I feel the shed goes too dark immediately with even a tiny 
med-tone contrast boost.
It's not the lens' fault, I focused on the shed from fairly close and the DOF 
couldn't cover it.
Slightly darkened the grass in the right foreground. Seemed to have a softening 
glare.
Thanks, again!

It looks like it would benefit from a little mid-tone contrast boost,
or maybe a sharper lens. but I quite like the triangular composition.

As I'm on a b&w jag lately I'd have focussed more attention on the
form and lines by going monochrome, and cropping out more of the
foreground grass.

It looks like it would benefit from a little mid-tone contrast boost,
or maybe a sharper lens. but I quite like the triangular composition.

As I'm on a b&w jag lately I'd have focussed more attention on the
form and lines by going monochrome, and cropping out more of the
foreground grass.

Re: PESO - wake up call

[Bob W-PDML]

I think it's a human thing.

Here's a strange thing. I'm piecemeal reading a book at the moment, called Les 
Rencontres de Lucien Clergue 
(https://www.amazon.fr/Lucien-Clergue-ses-rencontres-Photographies/dp/2862344451).
 

I wanted to write that it was Les Rencontres de Jeanloup Sieff, but couldn't 
find any reference to that book, so I checked my copy. It means that for almost 
40 years I have conflated these two photographers in my mind. It probably 
explains why I found it so hard to reconcile Sieff's nudes and the early photos 
by Clergue, and that is one of the reasons I bought the book.

I think I met Clergue/Sieff in about 1980 when hitchhiking around Europe. He 
gave me and my gf a lift and we stayed at his place in Arles for a night and 
talked a lot about photography. I thought it was Sieff, but maybe it was 
Clergue - I don't think Sieff was particularly connected with Arles.

I prefer Clergue's nudes to Sieff's, although I don't think they're his best 
work.

Re: PESO - wake up call

Jonvelle shares his fondness for bottom curves with Jeanloup Sieff,
another great Frenchman. I wonder if it's a French thing, or is it
continental Europeans -- Italians, Spaniards -- in general?

In keeping with the spirit of the theme I shall be exploring the rear
view extensively myself.

Thanks, Bob!

Re: Rainy Day Hammock

[Rick Womer]

Thanks, all!

The only thing I don't care for is the bokeh. I shot this at a variety
of focal lengths and apertures, but the 50-200's bokeh is always
slightly curdled rather than creamy.

That's the price of small size and light weight, though, which are of
increasing importance to me.

Re: Storm over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel - Monochrome Version

[Igor PDML-StR]

Brian,

I like the B&W version much better.

I hadn't seen the original thread until just now, while writing this 
message. So, I saw the B&W version first.
I even thought that the "original" was actually a dirivative - colored 
with a "creative" filter, and went back to reread your message to verify 
that I understood it correctly.

(I admit, it was before 8am, so, I was still waking up.)

B&W is more interesting, more dramatic.
I wanted to see it on a larger scale. So, I zoomed in using the browser.
At that scale, the colored version is fine, and it can stand on its own. 
And it delivers a different mood.

But I still prefer the B&W version.

(And I just thought that the dramatism of the B&W version reminds me of 
one of the B&W storm images of Dan Matyola. [You know that guy, don't ya? ;-) ])

Why does that not surprise me?  

The old Dew Line installations have been abandoned by the military.  The
facility in Kotzebue, Alaska, just north of the arctic circle was
transferred to the state, and is now am airport controlled by the local
Native Alaskan corporation.  It brings tourism into a small native village
that once was one of the most isolated human settlements in North America.
