Re: PESO: fungus

2010-07-25 Thread Ann Sanfedele

Joe -
I'm not so sure that is turkey tail  - it isn't curving up much for one 
thing...  

-  I don't think we have good enough shots,anyway  - (from a mycological 
point of view ) - to tell that

and , also, the shelves don't look like quite the right shape to me...

and there is no scale, either..  --  remember, too - David is in New 
Zealand...  

Dave, the general name for a variety of fungi that have that kinda look 
is  shelf fungus  also called  bracket fungus.


The only way to tell for sure what a specific species of fungus is 
involves taking spore prints.   There are only a very
few varieties in the wild that one can be sure of as to what they are 
and their edibility without a lot of study.


So,  was this big stuff?  

I'm curious... I joined the Mycological society of New York back in the 
80's for a brief spell mainly for wanting to be able
to ID the fungi I was photographing - then I learned how difficult it 
was... I got pretty interested for a while but most of the

members were mainly into the gourmet aspect of it .But I digress.

anyway, I challenge Turkey Tail , as we say in the Scrabble biz  :-)

This stuff has been a problem for a long time.
I'm a fan of the Chicago Bears Football team.
At an outdoor art fair, I found a bunch of 1960's photos of Chicago
Bear players.
I bought several and talked to the old guy selling them.

He turned out to be the photographer.
George Halas, the team owner/coach/a founder of the league had hired
him to take photos.
Halas gave him a sidelines pass to the games, and then would review his photos.
Halas then bought only copies of the photos he liked for the club to use.
The photographer showed me a cover photo of Gale Sayers that appeared
on the programs.

Halas had a reputation as a tight fisted business man,
but he out foxed himself in this case.
He never bought the rights to the pictures or the negatives.
I doubt he had the money (free cash flow) and was cutting costs.
So this photographer had the photos and reproduction rights to some
Hall of Fame shots.

Re: About awkward copyright releases

2010-07-25 Thread Igor Roshchin


Paul,

What you are referring to is the item 2), - about the photographer
selling merchandise with the photos. That part is understood. 
Even without such a form signed, (and it is not always on the
back of the ticket) I wouldn't try to produce and sell, 
say, calendars with the band photo.

The problem is in a different statement, - 
where the band claims to own your photographs and to be able to sell
them, - as described in the items 6 and 3 quoted below.
They didn't pay the photographer to demand and own his photos.

All this reminds me the WTD strip posted by somebody here about
a year ago:

 few hundred bucks more on my developing photography hobby. Not that I
 won't need help now and then -- or maybe more often than that -- but
 it is very intuitive.

 It is the other way around. I joined the chorus for LR just today ;-).

 Sure, if you have questions - you can always ask them both on list and off
 list.

MX shutter problem?

2010-07-25 Thread Toralf Lund

Folks,

I'm having a slight issue with an old, beat-up MX I bought for next to 
nothing a year or two ago (not sure if I told anyone here.) On the last 
film I shot with it, a large number of frames only came out as partially 
exposed. To show you what I'm talking about, I went ahead and scanned 
the entire film (well, I probably wanted digital versions of some 
pictures anyway.) Here is an index file produced during this process:


http://www.toralf.net/images/mxError.jpg

All images have the natural orientation of the film, and they are 
ordered according to frame no, and split into the same strips as the 
film itself.


As you can see, there is often data missing, always on the same side, 
but the amount varies. There are also a few blanks, but this might of 
course be caused by something else entirely. I think I saw something 
like this earlier, too, but then there were only 2 or 3 incidents 
throughout the film.


So, what do you reckon? Is the shutter broken, or what? If it is, would 
it be worth fixing? Also, if the curtains stick or whatever, why not all 
the time? (Different exposure times?) Or alternatively, is there 
something else that might cause something like this? I mean, besides 
actually blocking parts of the lens, as surely I would have noticed that 
in the viewfinder.

 the film.
 
 So, what do you reckon? Is the shutter broken, or what? If
 it is, would it be worth fixing? Also, if the curtains stick
 or whatever, why not all the time? (Different exposure
 times?) Or alternatively, is there something else that might
 cause something like this? I mean, besides actually blocking
 parts of the lens, as surely I would have noticed that in
 the viewfinder.

Folks,

I'm having a slight issue with an old, beat-up MX I bought for next to 
nothing a year or two ago (not sure if I told anyone here.) On the 
last film I shot with it, a large number of frames only came out as 
partially exposed. To show you what I'm talking about, I went ahead 
and scanned the entire film (well, I probably wanted digital versions 
of some pictures anyway.) Here is an index file produced during this 
process:


http://www.toralf.net/images/mxError.jpg

All images have the natural orientation of the film, and they are 
ordered according to frame no, and split into the same strips as the 
film itself.


As you can see, there is often data missing, always on the same side, 
but the amount varies. There are also a few blanks, but this might 
of course be caused by something else entirely. I think I saw 
something like this earlier, too, but then there were only 2 or 3

 Wide angle?

They were napping on the underside of the wharf in Santa Cruz.  This one was 
practically up against the chain link fence blocking off the beams from the 
access.  I put my camera below the fence and just shot at full auto, guessing 
on the aim, as it was the only way to get a clean shot from that angle without 
the fence in the way. While I was photographing him one woman came up and 
wanted to pet him. I told her not to, that it was a good way to lose a hand.

That shot was at 18mm using the 18-250.

There's another landing for launching boats where I shot this one at 250:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4827165629/in/set-72157624454680617/
with no fences. I could have walked right up to them,  but even if I trusted 
myself to not scare, harass or threaten them, with all of the tourists around, 
I wouldn't have trusted one of them to not do something stupid.

 So last night Judy and I took a walk along the lake and I had the
 18-55mm on the body (so no long shots) when I saw this kayaker
 skimming along a quiet bay.  I took a few shots, chimped and saw that
 everything was deep blue (almost indigo) on the screen.  Looked cool,
 but ~very~ unnatural.  By the time I reset the WB (s)he was gone, so I
 converted to monochrome and went for the silhouette look (which it
 pretty much was anyway).  I kind of like it:

The only reason that mis-setting the white balance would be a problem is if you 
shoot jpegs.  There are some minor advantages if you're chimping the exposure 
to have it right.

 
 Hope you do, too.

I believe they're just saying that you can't merchandise the photos

The band retains rights to merchandising any and all of their photos.  
It's just a way of ensuring that others aren't going to trade on their

Still some testing and modding to do. It has a small leak between rubber

something like petroleum jelly? It can't stick down permanently as it is

peso - young lady

2010-07-25 Thread Igor Roshchin

Sasha,

It's a nice pose/expression.
As somebody has already mentioned, it looks a bit too soft.

I don't think it's because of this particular lens (I haven't
tried this Tamron myself but heard it was decent) or the DOF (at f/5).
I suspect it might be slightly front-focused.
You might consider sharpening it just a bit.

Another thing that bothers[*] me much more, even though
it is much less objective (no pun intended), is the overall
composition/framing.

Many people would say it is fine. And it is probably a valid opinion.
I know it's my thing: sometimes certain aspect ratio combined with 
a certain subject and its position relative to the frame looks to me 
a bit uncomfortable. 
In the music language this would be neither a dominant nor a tonic,
while not jazzy enough to depart from the classical diatonic scale.
Sometimes I try various things but can never find the perfect
composition.

I looked at the photo in the morning, and now again, and my impression 
has not changed. I am not sure what exactly should be changed - it may
take some playing.
If I took this shot I would try
1. slightly larger aspect ratio (different crop);
2. slightly different position of the head w.r.t. the frame 
(either verticall or horizontally, or even both);[**]
3. if nothing else helps, - a square (a la 6x6) crop. 
(Yes, sorry, this is too classical/traditional,  - and that's probably
something you are trying to avoid. I tend to like that in the past 
few years.)

--
[*] It bothers me in the sense that distinguishes a good photo from 
a great photo.
[**] It doesn't mean that the head has to be necessarily centered.
However, right now it appears that it is the body (shoulders) that 
is (almost) centered, and it is not the best composition in this case.


Sorry, it's probably more than what you wanted to hear.
It just caught my sight, and I keep coming back to it today.


Igor

Or, rather more likely, the machine has become infected by a virus.
Mail spamming some trashy web site is typical of such an infection.

I'd recommend a scan to detect and remove infections (I can't be
more specific, because I have very little experience in this area),

 They were napping on the underside of the wharf in Santa
 Cruz.  This one was practically up against the chain
 link fence blocking off the beams from the access.  I
 put my camera below the fence and just shot at full auto,
 guessing on the aim, as it was the only way to get a clean
 shot from that angle without the fence in the way. While I
 was photographing him one woman came up and wanted to pet
 him. I told her not to, that it was a good way to lose a
 hand.
 
 That shot was at 18mm using the 18-250.
 
 There's another landing for launching boats where I shot
 this one at 250:

 with no fences. I could have walked right up to them, 
 but even if I trusted myself to not scare, harass or
 threaten them, with all of the tourists around, I wouldn't
 have trusted one of them to not do something stupid.

 Every year about this time we get a
 rainy season in the desert, locally referred 
 to as the Monsoon Season.  This shot was taken from my
 balcony looking south 
 from central Phoenix.  Dramatic clouds and alot of rain in
 parts of town.  
 Sadly, not here.  K20D,  SMC Pentax-A 80-200mm,   Taken
 at 80mm late afternoon, 
 sunset to the right.

Petroleum products do nasty things to rubber, and make a greasy mess.  Any way 
to shim the plastic beneath the gasket at the point of the leak?  Or has the 
gasket stiffened with age, so that it needs replacement?

 Still some testing and modding to do. It has a small leak
 between rubber
 end cover and perspex body. Need to find a usable gasket
 sealer, maybe
 something like petroleum jelly? It can't stick down
 permanently as it is
 the access to get the camera in/out. I've already ordered a
 cheap LCD
 monitor that I can use to view with through the top. In
 principle it
 works well. More when I have something decent!

Re: peso - young lady

2010-07-25 Thread Paul Sorenson

Sasha -

It's a nice picture of a lovely young lady.  Moving forward a couple of 
images, this one is the one that *really* strikes me.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/sobol/4825810854/in/photostream/

The tilt of the head and direction of the eyes on the younger girl makes 
me wonder what she is looking at, yet the older girl appears to be 
somewhat indifferent about what is going on outside the frame.  To me, 
the juxtaposition of the two lends an air of mystery to the image.
