My home computer BSODs approx 3 mins after boot. So it is being
repaired. It is not really possible for me to post from work, so I am
practically disconnected. Hopefully this is only temporary...

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I went to the PPG to vote on some image tonight.  Then I checked on my
latest submissions, even though they were all in the queue for less
than a week.

To my surprise, all my submissions had been either approved or
declined already, even those submitted only 5 days ago!

So, if anyone is interested i submitting to the PPG, now is a good
time.  You will get decisions on your images in a week or less.

Fernando, Brian, Bruce, thanks!

Fernando, I agree with you about the crop. I did crop a bit, just to get him 
off-centre, but there wasn't much to play around with.

Thanks to all who took a look.

Re: PESO - A Beautiful Demoiselle

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

Thanks, Dan. I think it's interesting, too.

Unfortunately I may have jumped the gun on the identification. To my 
(uneducated) eye it looks identical to a beautiful demoiselle, but it seems 
that's a European species. I'm looking (so for without success) for North 
American species that look similar. Could it be an alien species?

Anyway, still looking for an ID on this beauty.

Cheers,
frank

Thanks, Steve & Steve.

He'd been through a lot, including having been beaten and left for dead 
on some train tracks after a drug deal went bad several years ago. It 
was nothing short of amazing that he survived considering the head 
injuries he sustained.


He was as nice a guy as you'd ever hope to meet when he was sober, but 
that was a rare thing over the past couple of years.

Thank you very much, Frank!

I was a little conflicted when I first took those photos for fear that

Again, thank you so much. You're very kind.

This is number 13 in the series "Print-a-Day for 30 Days."



There are quite a few musicians that perform at the open air farmer's
markets.This photo of a young violinist is one of my favorites.

Some of you have seen an earlier version of this photo.  I decided to
include it in the print-a-day project because of the big areas of blue
sky.  In the past, with other printers, I've had trouble with this
type of gradient.  There can also be an issue with blue and cyan.  The
representation of this part of the color space can differ between
monitor and paper.

I added the vignette to help define the border.  I had not felt that
was necessary until I saw the printed version.  Now that I've seen it,
I prefer the version with the vignette.

The final print and a nice smooth gradient with no banding.  The sky
color was very close.  It seems just slightly more saturated.

Maybe I should head back around dusk and try some shots when the light is 
better.

The dynamic range of the K-5 is impressive.  I did a 3 x 1.3 stops bracket of 
most of the shots, and by the time I processed them in lightroom it was hard to 
tell the difference between them.  Most of the reason I'll bracket is in case I 
ever want to process the photos for HDR, but it looks like it takes a lot more 
than that to exceed the DR of the K-5 at low ISO.

That's very hard to look at, he is so utterly ravaged.

It wasn't a pleasant thing to witness, to be sure.

RE: PESO: Happy audience

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

I love it! Beautifully framed. Sharp in all the right spots, oof in all the 
right spots. Love the expressions on the faces of the two huggers. Like the way 
the other audience members are oblivious to the protagonists as they (the 
others) watch the show.

Wonderful!

Subject: PESO: Happy audience

I shot a concert on Friday - an annual benefit thrown by local musicians.  The 
show is always 100% David Bowie covers, and the audience is invited to get done 
up (makeup, hair) as part of the festivities.  Just thought I'd explain the 
paint on the woman's face.

ANYWAYS - because of the fun getups that people wear to the show, it's always a 
treat from time to time to turn the camera around and look at the audience.  I 
try to do that, actually, at most every show I attend.

This one worked for me:

The K-7 handled itself pretty well shooting at pretty much ISO 1250 the whole 
night, but I would love to have a K-5 sometime for this kind of work.  
Seriously.

Fw: PESO: Eagle Pair

[kwaller]

Back in the 80's I had to go to Alaska to see Bald Eagles, lately I've seen 
them all over Michigan. A couple of weeks ago I photographed a pair of 
adults in front of my place in Traverse City. A few weeks ago while 
returning downstate, we were buzzed by an adult - couldn't have been more 
than 25 feet from the car as we were traveling around 70mph. Unfortunately 
most of these sightings were totally out of the blue and there was no way to 
set up and capture. It has made me more likely to keep the 600 in the car.

I agree with Bob about Chim, and all I'll add is that anything by the original

part, a nostalgic view, but I'm gonna stick to it any way.

Organizations have a right to get their name out there, and if social media

sole reliance on social media would be very silly indeed, but they're probably 
not going to do that.

PESO: RIP Tommy

[Walt Gilbert]

Hi all,

Once again, I captured the last image ever someone I knew -- in this 
case, a guy named Tommy Pool. He used to frequent the club where I tend 
bar, but a little over a year ago, he applied for a re-enrollment and he 
was declined by the membership due to his inability to control his drinking.


Well, that didn't stop him from drinking himself to death, which he a 
couple of weeks ago. I'd dropped by his place with a friend a few weeks 
prior and he was in his usual condition. I happened to be carrying my 
camera that night and decided to pop off a few shots. This was the last

Great subject but since the subject, for me, is the old abandoned truck, I'd

Re: Anyone compared ...

[P. J. Alling]

Not directly.  They have very different optical formulas, the F shares 
it's optical design with the M and A 28mm f2.8, I hate to say it but 
I've always heard that they were somewhat inferior, especially to the K 
30mm f2.8.


There are detailed discussions of them on Stan, old lens comparison site.

Come on - you can't expect us to respond to what you actually wrote - this
is the PDML. But I'll give it a go.

I agree about them leading by the nose, but I would expect anyone on their
mailing list, or tweeting list or whatever these things are called to have a
bit more wit about themselves than to be led. Especially to that photo
which, great as it is, is not truly representative of Magnum, at least in my
opinion. It would be impossible for me to choose a single picture, or even a
single body of work, but if you held a gun to my head and forced me to
choose something that was most representative of Magnum (which I know is not
what they asked), I would probably go for something by Chim Seymour from the
post-war reconstruction.

My point was not that they are tweeting; I've picked up some interesting stuff 
including the McCurry rain pictures from their twitter feed. The point was the 
subject matter of that particular tweet.

Re: PESO - Davenport Range

[Brian Walters]

Quoting "P. J. Alling" :


Looks pretty mountainous for a flat land.  Very nice,




It's a pretty low range of hills made up of rocks that are a bit more  
resistant to weathering than the surrounding country.




and you should never apologize for boosting contrast a tad.  It's  
part of the toolkit.



Agreed.  Thanks for looking.  And thanks too, Jack.

RE: Silly Magnum

I don't do any of this twittering nonsense, but I've received 2 emails today
from Magnum, so someone in their communications team must have woken up. One
of them is for a very interesting looking exhibition at the gallery in Paris
about Algeria 1962 - it's 50 years since the end of the war with France, and
independence. This has been a strong theme of the last couple of terms of my
French cinema class, so very a propos.

Re: OT: Silly Magnum

I think someone at Magnum believes that future decision-makers and
purchasers of images are probably to be found among the twitterati,
so it would be a good idea to raise Magnum's visibility there.

Nice George and good use of backlight too. Not too sure about the
vignette - I wonder whether a tighter crop on the left and at the top,
but leaving space on the right, would work better?

Yep, square crop does it. A good atmospheric photo.

A coincidence, but I was also involved in a David Bowie evening in
Stony Stratford UK last Saturday. I played acoustic guitar on a few
numbers but managed to get some pictures of the other band members. My
appearance is lost to posterity - at least I haven't seen any pictures
of me yet...

PESO - PAD - Street Musician - Print-a-Day-13

[George Sinos]

This is number 13 in the series "Print-a-Day for 30 Days."



There are quite a few musicians that perform at the open air farmer's
markets.This photo of a young violinist is one of my favorites.

Some of you have seen an earlier version of this photo.  I decided to
include it in the print-a-day project because of the big areas of blue
sky.  In the past, with other printers, I've had trouble with this
type of gradient.  There can also be an issue with blue and cyan.  The
representation of this part of the color space can differ between
monitor and paper.

I added the vignette to help define the border.  I had not felt that
was necessary until I saw the printed version.  Now that I've seen it,
I prefer the version with the vignette.

The final print and a nice smooth gradient with no banding.  The sky
color was very close.  It seems just slightly more saturated.

In which modern image enhancing technology, (the kind displayed on all the 
/realistic/ cop shows), cleans up a reputed image of the Loch Ness monster to 
reveal the PDML's avian mascot.

OT: Silly Magnum

[Chris Mitchell]

I just saw the following tweet from Magnum

"What's your favorite photo from the Magnum archive? Tweet @MagnumPhotos with 
the hashtag #MyFavPhoto."

Inane and wrong on so many levels, not least of which is how do you choose a 
favourite from so many great photographers, so many genres, such a wide 
timespan? On top of it all they said "and here's an example" and linked to 
McCurry's Afgan Girl. Indeed a great picture, but a bit of a lead by the nose I 
think. I could go on, but I won't. Perhaps I've been taking too much of my 
grumpy old git medicine but it would be interesting to hear what you all think 
though

Chris

Awesome photos.  I like the ones shot through the round window, they look like 
some gigantic physics experiment.  Also the lightning flashes, that must look 
amazing from up there.

Re: PESO: Happy audience

[Brian Walters]

Quoting Charles Robinson :

I shot a concert on Friday - an annual benefit thrown by local  
musicians.  The show is always 100% David Bowie covers, and the  
audience is invited to get done up (makeup, hair) as part of the  
festivities.  Just thought I'd explain the paint on the woman's face.


ANYWAYS - because of the fun getups that people wear to the show,  
it's always a treat from time to time to turn the camera around and  
look at the audience.  I try to do that, actually, at most every  
show I attend.


This one worked for me:

http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2012/rebel_rebel_ix/content/IMGP0543_large.html

The K-7 handled itself pretty well shooting at pretty much ISO 1250  
the whole night, but I would love to have a K-5 sometime for this  
kind of work.  Seriously.



Nice work - wonderful expression on the girl's face.

I think the square crop is an improvement.

Quoting kwal...@peoplepc.com:


Great capture ! Of course its all about the light.




Yes indeed!  When I saw this small group of trees I thought a late  
afternoon silhouette might work.


Thanks for looking, Ken..

taken  with the K-5.

Comments, of course, most welcome.

We should send Bulent there, so we can have the Ottman photographing the 
Davenport.
