Re: The Online Photographer asks; Is color printing easier now?
On 8 July 2012 11:03, Jeffery Smith jsmith...@gmail.com wrote: My biggest challenge was getting the plastic print drums absolutely clean between procedures. As I recall, it involved ammonia, detergent, my bathtub, and a rinse in Orbit bath to get the drums totally clean. Jeffery, You do realise that ammonia is a fogging agent, don't you. How did you ever manage to keep it from contaminating your unprocessed materials? When I was 20 I worked in a lab that did both photographic services and diazo printing, which developed in ammonia fumes. You couldn't move from the dyline area to another without a thorough hand scrubbing, lest all your subsequent work would be spoiled, and any contaminated chemistry would need to be ditched. Even just handling a finished dyeline print would contaminate your hands for other photographic processes. I wouldn't have any ammonia product in the same room as photographic film or paper.

RE: PESO the root of the problem
From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Ann Sanfedele One of those small bent pipes is for gas... I know because the con ed guy told me one had been cut my accident.. not sure about the other, not very knowledgeable about this sort of thing. The problem with brick is, I image, it's ease of being eroded - especially the mortar, I'd think. but it doesn't rust anyway :-) Many people over here still get water supplied through Victorian lead pipes. My house is on a shared pipe coming from the mains, and the stop cock is in my kitchen, so I effectively control my neighbour's water supply. I didn't fully realise this until earlier in the year when I was having work done in the house. The builders ripped out the old kitchen and revealed a lead pipe coming up through my kitchen floor, through my wall and into the neighbour's house. Her husband died of Alzheimer's a few years ago, and I wonder if it had anything to do with drinking water from lead pipes. Anyway, when I investigated further I was assured that the pipes are so old that they are furred inside with limescale - London water is notoriously hard - and quite safe. B I'm not crazy about my photo, but I was intrigued by the subject.. had to lighten the shadows up too much in elements so you could see the thing. Odd thing, the area didn't smell - for which I was grateful.. ann On 7/7/2012 18:04, Mark C wrote: On 7/5/2012 11:34 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: for those of you following the sinkhole saga I took this one yesterday http://annsan.smugmug.com/On-the-Road-or-On-Foot/2012-and-all- that/21 847075_D88Ngw/1/1947975432_sbsx5wg/Large If you have no idea what I'm talking about, backup a couple of shots in that gallery of mine this, in the middle of a serious labor dispute between the utilities company and the workers.

Re: I was a bad boy
I didn't know that there was a non-Pro version (just ATX, not ATX PRO). The Pro (AT-X 828 AF PRO) version would be a great steal (that's why I called it a robbery [in the reverse sense]. I don't know the regular version, but it still sounds like a good deal. (You can read this review: http://bodzashphotoastro.blogspot.com/2010/11/in-depth-review-tokina-80-200-f28-at-x.html ) Price-wise, on ebay, ATX Pro goes somewhere in the $400-500 range; I would guess that the ATX would go for something near $200. PS. It seems like there might be a non-AF version of ATX, - I have no idea about that.

Re: PESO - Muted Swan
Thanks, Mark! It was just near the end of the golden hour, those few minutes when the light is at its best. I had all but given up getting even one keeper when I saw the swans close to the shore. They spent 3/4 of the time with their heads under water, feeding, so when they came up for air I had to act fast. Of the ten or twelve frames I took, that one worked. Thanks to all who commented.

Re: My super-duper macro setup... that doesn't appear to work as hoped?
Glad that I could help. There are two basic formulas that can help with macro work. You probably know them but if not - the first is that when you put a lens on extension the magnification equals the extension divided by the lens's focal length. So a 100mm lens on 200mm of extension = 2x lifesize magnification. There is a somewhat complicated formula to estimate the working distance, but you can approximate working distance by dividing the lens focal length by magnification. SO a 100mm lens on 200mm of extension would have a working distance of 50mm. A 50mm lens on 200mm of extension would have a magnification of 4x and a working distance of 12.5mm (50 /4). The formulas are approximate - they would work for a single element lens but that obviously not the case with a regular camera lens. But they would get you to a good approximation. I have never found a good explanation of what is going on when you reverse mount a lens. After using reverse mounted lenses quite a bit, I can say that reversing the lens allows you to focus closer. It also seems like the subject to lens distance does not change as much as you'd expect when you reverse mount and change extension. But I've never learned the theory. Apparently the D-FA is not using simple extension to help it focus more closely which is why it does not focus once the internal focusing mechanism is set beyond a certain point. I'm not sure what is going on there. Mark On 7/8/2012 12:09 AM, John Celio wrote: Mark, this is exactly the response I was hoping for. Thank you *very* much. I never would have thought the lens would be the part causing the problem, nor that wider angle lenses would produce greater magnification (though that kinda makes sense now that I think about it). I will try it with my FA 50 (my only other small prime with an aperture ring) right now. Thanks, John On Sat, Jul 7, 2012 at 6:57 PM, pdml-requ...@pdml.net wrote: That is basically the same setup that I use for my snow crystal shots, except I use a 50mm lens reverse mounted. In fact, it is so simlar I just now pulled it out of the closet, set it up and put my D-FA 100mm macro on it. I have 300mm of extension (tubes and bellows) with the lens reverse mounted at the end. Your focusing problem lies in how how the D-FA 100 close focuses. I had no problem getting a shot in focus when the lens was set to infinity, and actually had ample working room. As I adjusted the lens's focusing mechanism I quickly was unable to get anything into focus. Obviously, something about the internal focusing on the D-FA causes a problem with it reverse mounted. Focusing on a ruler, with the D-FA 100 at infinity, and using a full frame 35mm film camera (also pulled from the closet), I saw 8 to 9 mm in the view finder. SO I reckon it to be about 4x life sized. With the 50mm I routinely use on this setup, the finder on the full frame camera shows about 4 mm, so about 8x. If you really want to get extreme get a short and fast lens and use it on all that extension. A 24mm on 300mm of extension would result in 16x or so magnification. Set the lens to infinity or use one that does not use internal focusing. Regarding protecting the delicate rear element of the lens - put a short extension tube on the rear lens mount. It will serve as a hood and also offer some protection to the rear element. To help with focusing - set up your rig in a dark place. Put a bright flashlight on the finder (where your eye would go). It will project a little rectangle of light that you can use to align your subject and get a sense of focusing distance with (when the rectangle is sharp, you are in focus.)

It's a matter of how reversing a multi-element lens re-positions the lens' primary nodal point for light passing through the lens in the reversed direction. Perfectly symmetrical designs will reposition the primary nodal point symmetrically when the lens is reversed, but very very few SLR lenses are perfectly symmetrical. Reversing the lens in most cases not only reversed the lens elements but adds some extension due to migration of the primary nodal point.

It also seems like the subject to lens distance does not change as much as you'd expect when you reverse mount and change extension. But I've never learned the theory. If the lens is a symmetrical design without any floating or FREE groups of elements then the formula works equally whether the lens is mounted normally or reversed. The purpose of reverse mounting in this case is not to gain magnification, because it won't. The theory behind it is that a lens in regular, non-macro use is closer to the focal plane than the subject plane and is best corrected for that circumstance. When you exceed 1:1 magnification the lens becomes closer to the subject plane than the focal plane, and gets out of the range for which it is best corrected. Reverse mounting it goes some way towards restoring its balance. That is, it makes the plane of focus on the rear element side nearer than the plane of focus on the front element side, as it should be. There's no cover-all formula for reverse-mounted non-symmetrical lenses. A telephoto lens is almost useless reversed. Imagine putting a negative dioptre filter in front of your lens. It defeats the purpose of photomacrography and is often impossible because the subject plane falls inside the lens. But reverse mounted wide-angle lenses are famously effective. Keep in mind that, at least in SLR mounts, they were originally known as inverted telephoto lenses and are best corrected for large reductions. Reverse mount one of those and you have a true telephoto (but still of short focal length) that's best corrected for large magnifications. regards, Anthony -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

RE:PESO - Muted Swan
Thanks, Joe. I can't disagree with you, a bit more reflection would have been nice, but that's the bottom edge of the frame, so the error was made in the camera and is non-repairable. Of the dozen or so frames that I took, that was by far the best. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the swans spent most of the time with their heads under water feeding; I had a few seconds each time they came up for air to hope they'd give me a good pose. That was actually the last or second last photo I took. After that the swans moved into the ever-lengthening shadows and I lost the light. The session was over. So given all that I'm satisfied but there is certainly room for improvement. More reflection would be part of that. Your comment is most appreciated. Thanks.

Lightroom and RAW vs DNG files
I've been shooting RAW files with the K-5, then importing them into LR4.1. I've been saving them as DNG's in LR. So now I'm beginning to question what I'm doing. The K-5 says I'm shooting RAW, not RAW+DNG. I think LR3.? said on importing images that it converted them to DNG's. Now I don't see that conversion noted when I use LR4.1. Have I really got the RAW files I shot since buying the K-5 (or K-7 or K-20), or have they all been compromised on import to Lightroom DNG's. I'm getting confused in the discussions of back-up of files, mainly because I'm importing all my images and not saving the raw RAW files directly in Windows. I think about doing the saving of raw RAW files when looking at the LR4.1. I think I'm able to improve my old images in the shadows with the new software. So am I saving the right type of files to keep the originals for future upgrades.

That Book
I got back from a few days in Saskatchewan to find a nice Blurb book waiting for me, and as I read it I first thought I’d highlight my top 3, then top 5, then top 10. Anyhow, here are the notes. First, this is the best-ever Annual. To make it clear that I’m not uncritical, let me say that I sort of hated last year’s, thought the backgrounds were overworked and distracting. The quality of 2011 photos is higher, and Mark's design mojo was on fire. It’s a really outstanding photo book. Having said that, here are the ones that touched my heart. 19: Earth Sky/Manayon. Actually a picture of a mountain (or a building, or, uh, Bong, what’s the brown thing?) 21: Cathedral of Trees/Roberts. They’re having a conversation too slow, graceful, and complex for us to follow. 33: Jumping at Ponte Sant’ Angelo/Lahuerta Ibiz. How in flaming hell did this get staged?! I stared and stared. 37: Fly By/Waller. Probably the most technically dazzling shot in the book. Miraculous. 38: Stowe Grotto/Mitchell. They say photography is a two-dimensional form. They’re wrong, as any fool can plainly see. 43: Waiting Offshore/Walters. The horizon not being smooth really bothers me. I had to look and look and look and look. Make your own theory. 46: Too Many Steps/Coyle. This is unsatisfactory, because it needs to be printed 40 inches or so high. 51: .../Roschin. Actually a picture of blood vessels. 58: Playful Planes/Gjersem. You can’t not smile. And I don’t even like planes. 65: 6/Miserere. At least a thousand perfect details. 71: Eternal Vigilance/Cassino. Actually a picture of flowering trees. 72: Morning Calm/Theriault. No grain. No street people. No asphalt. Can’t possibly be Frank. Fucking great picture though, whoever took it. 73: Night at Sea/Thrane. Really unsatisfactory; needs to be printed at least six feet wide. 75: At the Beach in Binz/Zahn. Actually a picture of clouds. 81: The Inspector/Brewer. What a real wizard looks like. 88: Lunch/Jeyon. Actually a picture of trees and stones. 91: The Bridge to Runde/Øksne: When I grow up I want to learn to take pictures like this. 94: So happy that Mark used my favorite (not my best, my favorite) Guo-Yuan-Snooker-Club picture. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
