FS Friday (posting for a friend) - K7 and some beautiful lenses

2012-04-13 Thread John Celio
Hi All,

My friend Alex Lee is selling his Pentax gear. Try as I might, I
couldn't convince him not to switch to a Sony NEX camera. I've seen
his gear and can vouch that he keeps it in good shape. I'd buy the DA
15 myself if I didn't have other plans for the money at the moment. :(

Please contact Alex if you're interested in any of this stuff. Here's his email:

Sad to say, I am selling my Pentax gear. I had a great fun these
years, but I've switched to a mirrorless system and need to find new
owners my Pentax gear. I live in Oakland, CA for local pick up, but I
can also ship. Email alexkin...@gmail.com if you're interested or have
questions. Here's what I have, with links to photos:

Pentax K-7 Body
$500
Good condition and completely functional. Some scratches, some minor
ones on the screen but nothing big, and some scratches on the bottom
corners (see link). Includes two batteries, OP/TECH strap, body cap
and various accessories that originally came with the camera.
http://s1114.photobucket.com/albums/k539/gerbilbox/Photo%20Gear%20Sale/Pentax%20K7/

Pentax DA 15mm f4 Limited
$480
Good condition, rarely been used. Compact but not quite a pancake. Has
built-in hood and comes with original lens and rear caps, and leather
lens case.
http://s1114.photobucket.com/albums/k539/gerbilbox/Photo%20Gear%20Sale/DA%2015mm/

Pentax FA 50mm f1.4
$250
Good condition, great portrait lens. Comes with the modern lens cap,
and rear cap as well.
http://s1114.photobucket.com/albums/k539/gerbilbox/Photo%20Gear%20Sale/FA%2050mm%20f1_4/

Pentax DA 16-45mm f4
$250
Good condition, surprisingly versatile lens despite its f-stop and
focal range. Sharp, even wide open. Includes hood, lens cap, and rear
cap. I'm also including a matching circular polarizer.
http://s1114.photobucket.com/albums/k539/gerbilbox/Photo%20Gear%20Sale/DA%2016_45mm/

Pentax DA 55-300 f4-5.8
$250
Good condition and offers quite a range in a compact lens. Comes with
hood, lens and rear caps.

It is dark.  The people and cars are in silhouette. I was happy with
the way lightroom 4 brought out the colors in the sky and the texture
in the parking lot.  I also like the the people and cars have a nice

Darren -

The PUG image was cropped a little from the right - the original was
printed
full frame for a birthday card for my daughter and included my logo
in the
lower right and the text Don't go bananas just because it's your
birthday.

Here's how it was done - eight layers in PSE...

The fork and banana were shot separately on a black background. The
primary
image was the fork and the background wasn't a pure enough black so I
created a a copy layer, turned the original image layer off, removed
the
background, put an empty layer below it and filled it w/black. The
saturation on the fork was increased as far as it would go to bring
out the
colors, then the right hand tine was selected, cut and moved to a new
layer.
The free transform tool was used to bend that tine and the end of it
was
selected, cut and pasted to a new layer so I could adjust how much
would
stick out of the banana. Whew!!

The background of the banana image was also removed, the banana
copied to
yet another layer in the original fork image and resized, moved, and
rotated
using the transform tool until I was happy with how it looked. The
text and
my logo were added as the top two layers.

I put the original psd here if you would like to see it in all its
layered
glory. It's about 10MB :)

Re: display bonus

2012-04-13 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
It may be best practice but I never bother with best practices other
than when they work for me. 2.2 gamma and the 'native white point'
that everyone likes nowadays is harsh, contrasty and too blue.

My calibration targets are Luminance 110 cdm^2, 1.8 gamma, 5500K white
point. Why? Because when I use those targets, my prints come out
indistinguishable from what I see on the display in my normal workroom
lighting, which is a close match to average exhibition gallery
lighting.

I've never heard any complaints that my pictures don't look like
they're adjusted properly from web viewers. I look at them using five
different computers and displays, only one of which is calibrated, and
they're all pretty close.

On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 9:56 AM, Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com wrote:
 Apple themselves recommend no longer using so-called Mac gamma (1.8).
 It's generally considered best practice to use 2.2 gamma now for all
 workstations and monitors. This comes from a few webinars I've
 attended on colour workflows by both the Munki and Spyder folks.

 Don't forget to reduce the monitor brightness quite a bit before
 calibrating. And I don't think you'll ever get a colour match between
 two monitors. I think you need to choose your One Best Monitor For
 Editing and stick with that one. Put the Ps  Lr menus on the other
 one.

 My new monitor showed up yesterday.  The Dell U2311H that I mentioned last

 to rotate the external display on a mac, you have to hold option and command
 when clicking on system preferences, then option and command again when
 clicking on display.

 The image on it didn't look wonderful at first, but finding the menu
 option to use mac gamma rather than PC helped, and a quick run with the
 sypder to calibrate it brought it right into shape.  Oddly, the sypder is
 giving me slightly different colors on the two displays, but that may be
 because of the way I fudged things to get two color profiles out of the
 software that came with the cheapest sypder.

OT: Stormchasers are soiling themselves over tomorrow's weather

This OT is partly a head-up to photo ops tomorrow/Sunday and partly a
safety warning.
If you know anyone in or near this area:
http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html
please give them a call or drop them a line. The combination of
ingredients in place tomorrow appear positively historic.

First of all, the SPC does not generally issue High Risk outlooks the
day before an event (usually Day-Of). The last time they did issue a
day-before High Risk warning (4/7/06), this was the result:

I will be picking up a couple of packages of Depends and joining my
son-in-law tomorrow on his chase (at least that is the plan, as I type
this).

Lincoln, NE is in the middle of that northern High Risk bullseye and
tomorrow is the Cornhuskers Spring Game, where 60,000 plus rabid

Supercells are especially photogenic and will be abundant in that

be incredibly beautiful, particularly if you are fortunate enough to
get them around sundown.

affected in a big way tomorrow.

 ingredients in place tomorrow appear positively historic.

 First of all, the SPC does not generally issue High Risk outlooks the
 day before an event (usually Day-Of). The last time they did issue a
 day-before High Risk warning (4/7/06), this was the result:

 91 tornadoes
 I will be picking up a couple of packages of Depends and joining my
 son-in-law tomorrow on his chase (at least that is the plan, as I type
 this).

 Lincoln, NE is in the middle of that northern High Risk bullseye and
 tomorrow is the Cornhuskers Spring Game, where 60,000 plus rabid
 sports fans dressed in red will fill Memorial Stadium to cheer for a

Re: PESO - XC skiing trail

2012-04-13 Thread AlunFoto
The light trail is above a skiing track, so the vertical distance
between the track and the trail is the measure to go by. The skier was
probably crouching a bit, so the headlamp is slightly less above the
ground than you could expect from comparing to the walker.

I've been making a point to shoot out a lot of my film - especially the 
35mm.  I have a few odd rolls of 35mm color - maybe 6 or 7 - the rest is 
all BW white.  The Neopan SS I'm working with now expired in 2005. It 
has never been out of the deep freeze and has been at -15 F the whole 
time. I have to say... I do see some loss of contrast in it, both in 
terms of base fog and needing to push the development time a little. It 
is still usable and cold storage surely adds years to film's life - but 
in the end film won't last forever.  I made the mistake of using some 
very old XPII Super on a trip a few years ago, and got barely printable 
negs.  I also found that bags of  powdered chemistry in the Kodak foil 
pouches have gone bad over the years - I tossed three bags of D76 that 
had turned dark brown before finally getting a good one last week. So - 
I'm hoping to use up all the film and chemistry I have on hand and just 
buy fresh in the future.

PESO: 'Long Term Parking'

2012-04-13 Thread kwaller
Found this image while doing a 'final' edit on over 25,000 slides I've taken 
since the late 60's.


http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15532752

It was taken in 1971 on Kodachrome, somewhere in south Jersey, most likely 
with my Spotmatic and a 50mm f1.4 Tak.


I like how the combination of film used and age have given it a slight 
bluish tint.



Going thru the thousands of images was a revelation to me - who are these

PESO - Hand in Hand

2012-04-13 Thread frank theriault
I broke one of the Rules of Street Photography: No photos of couples
walking away from you holding hands.

But, I really liked the light and the overall composition and I tried
a very different rendering (due to that light):

Hope you like.  Comments welcome.

Found this image while doing a 'final' edit on over 25,000 slides I've taken 
since the late 60's.

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15532752

It was taken in 1971 on Kodachrome, somewhere in south Jersey, most likely with 
my Spotmatic and a 50mm f1.4 Tak.

I like how the combination of film used and age have given it a slight bluish 
tint.


Going thru the thousands of images was a revelation to me - who are these 
people and why did I keep these images?

Darren -

The PUG image was cropped a little from the right - the original was
printed
full frame for a birthday card for my daughter and included my logo
in the
lower right and the text Don't go bananas just because it's your
birthday.

Here's how it was done - eight layers in PSE...

The fork and banana were shot separately on a black background. The
primary
image was the fork and the background wasn't a pure enough black so I
created a a copy layer, turned the original image layer off, removed
the
background, put an empty layer below it and filled it w/black. The
saturation on the fork was increased as far as it would go to bring
out the
colors, then the right hand tine was selected, cut and moved to a new
layer.
The free transform tool was used to bend that tine and the end of it
was
selected, cut and pasted to a new layer so I could adjust how much
would
stick out of the banana. Whew!!

The background of the banana image was also removed, the banana
copied to
yet another layer in the original fork image and resized, moved, and
rotated
using the transform tool until I was happy with how it looked. The
text and
my logo were added as the top two layers.

I put the original psd here if you would like to see it in all its
layered
glory. It's about 10MB :)
