 Tim,

 The question is:  What sort of person is Ole Dan?

 Is he a sober and reflective sort?  Then #1 might be best.

 Is he relaxed and casual?  Then #2.

 Is he given to melancholy?  Then perhaps #3.

 #4 is the most complex of the four poses; the pose indicates engagement (a 
 conversation with someone out of the frame), but yet is casual, as are the 
 clothes.

 If he's a joker and party animal, you've missed.

 The best portraits reflect the personality of the subject.  Do you have it 
 here?

Re: PESO - Portrait: O. D. Johnson

Thanks Paul. My opinion and experience is appreciated.

The modell told me he _really_ liked the first one. Maybe you have put
words on why?

Let me explain why I explore these odd angles, to see if I can make them work.

I am looking for something different. There is so many portraiters
doing the same thing, using the same aesthetic. I want to do something
that makes me a slightly different portraitist. I think I must be
different to differentiate myself from the comptetition.
I do find errors in what I've done here, but I think I should keep
looking for a while.

 Tim, I *really* like the bw headshot best.

 I have a couple of issues with the 2nd and 3rd seated shots. To me they make 
 your subject look diminutive. Part of that is your PoV: above looking down. 
 For male subjects especially, I'd prefer eye-level or very slightly lower 
 that eye-level looking up.  And I think you may have compounded the odd size 
 issue by getting close with a wide angle lens. That causes the subject's 
 head to be disproportionately large relative to his feet.

 Sorry for being so negative!

See if you can get hold of a copy of 'Train Your Gaze' by Roswell Angier. It's
an excellent and practical guide to portrait photography. Camera angles tend to
be gimmicky and looked tired very quickly. Besides, Cartier-Bresson was very
scathing about them. The key to portrait photography is looking. In fact,
that's the key to all photography.

It's a good shot.

 
 Let me explain why I explore these odd angles, to see if I can make them work.

Tim,

I am in much the same boat as you (kind of scary considering your history).  I 
enjoy doing portraiture, but I'm always trying to take pictures that others 
haven't done to death, so I think about these same things a lot.

I am also always trying different angles to get something new and different.  
The challenge is that the reason that most of these angles are rarely used is 
because they rarely work. I keep trying them, and finding out why they aren't 
often used.

I also try to do cool and creative lighting.  Unfortunately, on my budget it's 
hard to come up with lighting that people with far more experience, and budget, 
haven't already done a lot of.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to 
hear/see them.

It seems, to me, that the biggest opportunity for creativity is with props and 
backgrounds. Being short on money, time and creativity, my general expedient 
for the background is to not light it.  The easiest way for me to not have 
anything ugly in the background is to leave it as close to black as possible.  
When that isn't an option, I like to use large towels (bath sheets) and a long 
lens, because towels come in all sorts of pretty colors that can complement 
people's skin and wardrobe, plus they're easy to store in the towel closet.  
With a shallow depth of field and the towel far enough back, nobody recognizes 
them for what they are.  You just have to use a long lens so as to limit the 
field of view of the background.

You've already discovered one trick, and that is to use a cliche format to set 
a mood.  The movie star pose of the first shot works great, and it makes your 
friend look like a movie star, because those are the people we're used to 
seeing in photos like that.

Another thing you can do is to have people bring a few things that represent 
what they do, or what they like. If someone likes to do woodwork, have them 
pose with a saw, or a plane.  I find that I often get my best pictures when we 
get silly. One thing you could do is to have people play with their favorite 
toys from their childhood. When people are having fun, their smiles are 
genuine, and their happiness shows through.  There are a lot of pictures of 
middle aged men in business suits, but not many of middle aged men in business 
suits playing with toy cars.  Or of a 70 year old women holding her childhood 
teddy bear.  

And, of course, there is the option of taking a standard photo style, or angle, 
and using that for an entirely different type of photo, as one of your 
juxtaposed elements.

I'm not telling you to do these exact things, I'm trying to give you some new 
directions to think in to come up with your own ideas for pictures that haven't 
already been done a lot.  And, by the way, you've already done some great 
portraits.

Re: PESO - Portrait: O. D. Johnson

You will be fine Larry, as long as you stay away from tiny overlaoded boats.

http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/2011/03/o-d-johnson.html

I'm not aiming to invent a totally new direction in photography. But
I'm looking for something that makes my pictures mine. My photo
colleague takes a lot of near even light pictures of people floating
araound at a blown out background. He is good at it, but it is very
main stream.

Yes, props is a good thing. Ole Dan is very found of his new watch. We
used it as a prop, but alas the pictures where we involved it, didn''t
turn out good.
We also used his brand new fake leather jacket. That and his haircut
was why i went for someting in James Dean direction. But for some
reason (probably bad exposure) I didn't get much details in it. But it
did set the mood.
You may remember the pics of Redun Sunde, the cycle I used was hers,
she is close to it, and people see her every day riding it. With Marit
I used a blancet she likes, and a the body _I_ like :-)

Which to keep: A Lens Priority Question

It's a simple question, and even more about reading people's thoughts regarding 
the lenses they would keep vs. part with.

I have 2 zooms.  
#1 SMC Pentax-A 70-210/4.  Quite nice, but awfully bulky.
#2 Sears 202 75-300/4.5 A-type, reasonably sharp, not so heavy,  longer

Now at this time I'm keeping both.  But if you were to part with one,
which would you get rid of?  The Sears isn't worth much, so it's worth more
to keep.  The A, on the other hand, is worth a bundle.  But the bargain
that I got it for makes it difficult to replace.

Right now I'm thinking more about keeping both.  The only time I'll need the 
300 distance is if/when I go to a Cub game this summer.

I'm also having a similar quandry in LF, but we won't go into that now.

My general goal is to get rid of stuff.  I'm 55 and it's time to thin down the 
toys.  I'm trying to keep a few for the joy of living, but not those that are

Sell both and replace them with a $350 DA 55~300.(?) I quickly sold my A 
70~210f/4 after receiving the DA 55~300. In doing so you will have satisfied 
your inventory reducing mood. 
Your age is no excuse to reduce your equipment inventory. You'll realize that

 It's a simple question, and even more
 about reading people's thoughts regarding the lenses they
 would keep vs. part with.
 
 I have 2 zooms.  
 #1 SMC Pentax-A 70-210/4.  Quite nice, but awfully
 bulky.
 #2 Sears 202 75-300/4.5 A-type, reasonably sharp, not
 so heavy,  longer
 
 Now at this time I'm keeping both.  But if you were to
 part with one,
 which would you get rid of?  The Sears isn't worth
 much, so it's worth more
 to keep.  The A, on the other hand, is worth a
 bundle.  But the bargain
 that I got it for makes it difficult to replace.
 
 Right now I'm thinking more about keeping both.  The
 only time I'll need the 300 distance is if/when I go to a
 Cub game this summer.
 
 I'm also having a similar quandry in LF, but we won't go
 into that now.

Pentax Photo Gallery

Has anyone else had problems lately with the Pentax Photo Gallery?

I checked into my artist page, with my proper email address and
password, last night for the first time in a while, to check on some
images I had submitted a couple of weeks ago.  Iinstead of my images,
someone else's photos were displayed.  The same thing is happening
this morning.  Right now, I am logged into the account of Adrian
Popovici.  A few minutes before that, it was the account of a
photographer from Chile.  This is not good security or website
management.

Does anyone know how to advise Pentax of this problem

Re: Which to keep: A Lens Priority Question

70~210f/4 after receiving the DA 55~300. In doing so you will have satisfied
your inventory reducing mood. 

Well, I could get about $125 for the A but 
 only about $40-$50 for the Sears.
(The Sears sell for much less than they are really worth.
 IIRC, they may be Kiron lenses.  As good as a Tokina  cheaper.)

Your age is no excuse to reduce your equipment inventory.
You'll realize that later, Collin.

Sort of.  I have re-acquired both 4x5 and 8x10.  2 lenses on each,
but the long on 4x5 overlaps with the wide on 8x10.
At least in that format I can get what they're really worth.
The good stuff in LF rarely sells undervalued as it often does in 35/DSLR.

(For those who appreciate good LF stuff, the 8x10 is just a 1923 Eastman 2D 
with its original BL Protar VII.  Body finish is still glossy and I'm the 
first outside the family to own it.)

Re: PESO - Portrait: O. D. Johnson


Tim -
Being different for it's own sake is seldom if ever, a successful 
asthetic.  
The best portraits are where the personality and character of the one 
you are photographing  is revealed in them without
your style and personality getting in the way.  

I suspect you model (friend of yours?) liked the first one best because 
it is so theatrical and he saw himself how he would like
to be seen... there is something very striking about it, but not quite 
real - almost a fantasy.  but if you photographed everyone
in that manner then we wouldn't know anything about them other than the 
superficial structure of their faces.

I am looking for something different. There is so many portraiters
doing the same thing, using the same aesthetic. I want to do something
that makes me a slightly different portraitist. I think I must be
different to differentiate myself from the comptetition.
I do find errors in what I've done here, but I think I should keep

Tim, I *really* like the bw headshot best.

I have a couple of issues with the 2nd and 3rd seated shots. To me they make 
your subject look diminutive. Part of that is your PoV: above looking down. For 
male subjects especially, I'd prefer eye-level or very slightly lower that 
eye-level looking up.  And I think you may have compounded the odd size issue 
by getting close with a wide angle lens. That causes the subject's head to be 
disproportionately large relative to his feet.

Sorry for being so negative!

Re: Which to keep: A Lens Priority Question

2011-03-24 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi

I tend to sell everything I'm not actively using. It reduces the
decisions needed when I actually want to go do a photo shoot: I work
with what I have. If what I need isn't what I have, enough times, I
can always reacquire or buy a better one later.

I use such long focal length lenses so infrequently it's more sensible
for me to rent them when needed.


On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 6:14 AM, Collin Brendemuehl
coll...@brendemuehl.net wrote:
 It's a simple question, and even more about reading people's thoughts 
 regarding the lenses they would keep vs. part with.

 I have 2 zooms.
 #1 SMC Pentax-A 70-210/4.  Quite nice, but awfully bulky.
 #2 Sears 202 75-300/4.5 A-type, reasonably sharp, not so heavy,  longer

 Now at this time I'm keeping both.  But if you were to part with one,
 which would you get rid of?  The Sears isn't worth much, so it's worth more
 to keep.  The A, on the other hand, is worth a bundle.  But the bargain
 that I got it for makes it difficult to replace.

 Right now I'm thinking more about keeping both.  The only time I'll need the 
 300 distance is if/when I go to a Cub game this summer.

 I'm also having a similar quandry in LF, but we won't go into that now.

 My general goal is to get rid of stuff.  I'm 55 and it's time to thin down 
 the toys.  I'm trying to keep a few for the joy of living, but not those that 
 are not in use.  (Why keep it if I'm not using it?  If it has value, sell it 
 and get its value.)  If anyone here will be in Dayton in May, that's what my 
 son and I will be doing.  Cleaning out the basement.  (Dayton in May is a 
 common euphemism for Hamvention.)

Nowhere near - this is cheap and cheerful.


And apparently the SUPER35 is what we would consider a half-frame format.

Still, that's what I think the future of DSLR video is eventually 
going towards.


The DSLR will remain  it will continue to have video modes, but the

Re: PESO - Portrait: O. D. Johnson


From: Tim ?sleby


Alas my photoshop skills are limited.
When I try to remove them, it just looks unatural. So I just try to
tone them down a bit.
This is among the things I really need to work on. I have a book somewhere ...

2011/3/23 Jack Davis jdavi...@yahoo.com:

 Would advise removing any glistening facial areas. I see a few in these shots.
 Would apply to all bare skin areas for that mater.

 Jack


Better if you can tone them down in the studio when you're setting up 
the lights. Less work, more easily repeatable.


One thing you can try in Photoshop is to add a layer filled with 50% 
gray. Set the layer's Blend Mode to Overlay or Soft Light.


Then paint on that 50% gray layer with Black or White brush set between 
5% - 15% opacity (play around with this to find what works best for you).


The Black brush will darken the underlying image similar to the burn 
tool without the color shift. The White brush will lighten the 
underlying image similar to the dodge tool, but again without the color 
shift.

profit, the problem would be more tractable.  Unfortunately a high
proportion believe that they are acting on divine orders, or are
taking defensive action to protect their tribe against that other

Re: Something odd happening with Pentax Photo Gallery

Upon the imposition of the 10 image limit, it was implied the reason was to 
allow some time to clean up the backlog of images pending review.
From the current sloth like pattern of movement, it appears the system has 
been overtaken again.
Maybe this current mess was contrived to temporally halt image submissions 
without having to divulge their internal control problems. not

Re: PESO - Portrait: O. D. Johnson

Agree about the flat light. I had trouble rendering these two files.

As I recall, I had one light at each side of me, in a 45 degre angle,
probably about 1,5EV differense. Nothing fancy. Any suggestions on how

Just a reminder the that PUG theme for April is 'Memories of

So soon we forget

You can, of course, interpret the theme as loosely as you think you can
get away with.  And there's always the Open Gallery.

2011-03-24 Thread Igor Roshchin


Wow!
I couldn't stop being surprised how something breaking generates
a huge amount of e-mails on any mailing list.

In any case, - it looks like it has been fixed.
(This morning, I also had written an e-mail to the PPG support directly.)
At least when I log in, - I get to my own account.

Cheers,

Igor

Nope!
I still login into other people's accounts.
It is more than 12 hours since I noticed this.
There must be a huge damage to the code, I guess.
