Re: OT - Do I Need to be Excited?

Look at that image on DP Review. Put price tags above each of the
three cameras that are currently available. Extrapolate the likely
price of the one that's coming in June. Consult bank balance.

I love it when life is so simple! A thousand thankyous xxx

I've extrapolated and consulted and the bad news is, as a favourite
Canadian likes to say, I'm screwed.

Loving the goats in the barn at the school farm last weekend. . ISO 6400, f3.5 
@ 1/400, K-5 DA8 16-50 @ 19mm. It's a bit noisier than it might have been had I 
added some exposure comp in camera. Had to push it up .7 stop in conversion and 
tweak curves due to minimal foreground light. But pretty good low light 
performance from the K-5 in spite of some photographer error.

PESO - Happy birhday to me (and a tip about WiFi (cableless) tethering)

2013-05-24 Thread Tim Øsleby
I have celebrated my  (uneven) birthday by photographing myself.
http://maritimtim.blogspot.no/2013/05/sjlvportrett-bursdagsbarn.html

Three flashes and a lot of other stuff involved in the color picture,
one single flash in the bw.

I think I need to controll the spill light better in this very tight
room. You can see my DIY v-flats in the third image. I need to paint
one side black.

Later today I will have more fun photographing me and Marit (my
significant other).

I have enabled myself with a Eye-Fi card. So now I'm shooting RAW+
WiFi transfering small jpg on the fly into Lightroom. You can set up
the card to trsnsfer jpg only. That speed things up a lot.
Highly recomended, makes it so much easier to finetune the light.

GESOs: Birds, flowers and waterfalls

2013-05-24 Thread Stan Halpin
I've added three small galleries under the FloraFauna folder on my photo site; 
these cover the last three days of my trip around Lake Michigan.

FloraFauna folder is here:  http://photos.stanhalpin.com/f373033916  Last 
three galleries are new.

When I left Milwaukee after the gathering there, I headed north into central 
Wisconsin. Sunday morning I spent time in and around the Horicon Marsh National 
Wildlife Refuge (NWR):

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p818771490

Sightings included several Black-backed Stilts and Dunlins (new to me and rare 
in the midwest). And my first relatively close-up view of a pair of Redhead 
ducks.

I then proceeded northwest into the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan. Quite a 
bit of rain along the way and overnight. Monday morning I spent in and around 
the Seney NWR; 

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p1006118452

Monday afternoon I drove through heavy rain to Whitefish Point, usually one of 
the top birding spots in the state, especially during spring migration. It 
seemed that all the birds were hunkered down because of the cold wet weather, 
so I did also. I stayed overnight in Paradise, then did some short walks around 
the Upper Falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park before heading south for home 
through more rain. Besides the Falls etc. I did see an American Redstart pair 
(new to me) but couldn't get any decent pictures. Couldn't even get my usual 
picture of the Macinaw Straits bridge - too much fog/low-lying clouds. The 3rd 
gallery has a few shots of the falls and elsewhere in the U.P.

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p542727846

An enjoyable trip, one I would like to repeat when the weather is a bit drier.

Subject: GESOs: Birds, flowers and waterfalls

I've added three small galleries under the FloraFauna folder on my photo site; 
these cover the last three days of my trip around Lake Michigan.

FloraFauna folder is here:  http://photos.stanhalpin.com/f373033916  Last 
three galleries are new.

When I left Milwaukee after the gathering there, I headed north into central 
Wisconsin. Sunday morning I spent time in and around the Horicon Marsh National 
Wildlife Refuge (NWR):

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p818771490

Sightings included several Black-backed Stilts and Dunlins (new to me and rare 
in the midwest). And my first relatively close-up view of a pair of Redhead 
ducks.

I then proceeded northwest into the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan. Quite a 
bit of rain along the way and overnight. Monday morning I spent in and around 
the Seney NWR; 

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p1006118452

Monday afternoon I drove through heavy rain to Whitefish Point, usually one of 
the top birding spots in the state, especially during spring migration. It 
seemed that all the birds were hunkered down because of the cold wet weather, 
so I did also. I stayed overnight in Paradise, then did some short walks around 
the Upper Falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park before heading south for home 
through more rain. Besides the Falls etc. I did see an American Redstart pair 
(new to me) but couldn't get any decent pictures. Couldn't even get my usual 
picture of the Macinaw Straits bridge - too much fog/low-lying clouds. The 3rd 
gallery has a few shots of the falls and elsewhere in the U.P.

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p542727846

An enjoyable trip, one I would like to repeat when the weather is a bit drier.

Subject: Man near Brown Line

A curious man.  He used the piece of cardboard to sweep litter, then he'd rest 
and seemingly contemplate his next move.  I suppose it's unfortunate the black 
van is behind him, but traffic was heavy, and the passing cars might have 
proved a greater distraction.  Perhaps the black van simplifies the background 
as opposed to traffic congestion in the background?  I got a little lucky with 
the set of 3 men.  Once I took this shot, the curious man knew what was up and 
turned his back towards me.  Fair enough I thought and went about my business.

PESO: Nicolaus Grocery

2013-05-24 Thread Jack Davis
This morning my wife and I took a tour of a few very small back water towns in 
our area. Was looking for history in any form. Was equipped with both the K-5 
and K20. I collected a passel of shots, but they are all of this building. May 
post another piece or two later. 
I found parking in the area very restrictive. Consequently, most were shot with 
the K20/DA 16~45. Got a few with K-5/DA*50~135.
Went out early hoping for a bit of sweet light, but all I encountered were deep 
shadows in those areas I wanted.. May back track some day and try a couple 
scenes again.

Like Paul said, good lighting, Tim. And I see from your BTS that we're

light in the confined space is challenging, but between black flags,
softboxes and the inverse square law, it's definitely achievable.

This morning my wife and I took a tour of a few very small back water towns in 
our area. Was looking for history in any form. Was equipped with both the K-5 
and K20. I collected a passel of shots, but they are all of this building. May 
post another piece or two later.
I found parking in the area very restrictive. Consequently, most were shot with 
the K20/DA 16~45. Got a few with K-5/DA*50~135.
Went out early hoping for a bit of sweet light, but all I encountered were deep 
shadows in those areas I wanted.. May back track some day and try a couple 
scenes again.

I've added three small galleries under the FloraFauna folder on my photo site; 
these cover the last three days of my trip around Lake Michigan.

FloraFauna folder is here:  http://photos.stanhalpin.com/f373033916  Last 
three galleries are new.

When I left Milwaukee after the gathering there, I headed north into central 
Wisconsin. Sunday morning I spent time in and around the Horicon Marsh National 
Wildlife Refuge (NWR):

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p818771490

Sightings included several Black-backed Stilts and Dunlins (new to me and rare 
in the midwest). And my first relatively close-up view of a pair of Redhead 
ducks.

I then proceeded northwest into the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan. Quite a 
bit of rain along the way and overnight. Monday morning I spent in and around 
the Seney NWR;

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p1006118452

Monday afternoon I drove through heavy rain to Whitefish Point, usually one of 
the top birding spots in the state, especially during spring migration. It 
seemed that all the birds were hunkered down because of the cold wet weather, 
so I did also. I stayed overnight in Paradise, then did some short walks around 
the Upper Falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park before heading south for home 
through more rain. Besides the Falls etc. I did see an American Redstart pair 
(new to me) but couldn't get any decent pictures. Couldn't even get my usual 
picture of the Macinaw Straits bridge - too much fog/low-lying clouds. The 3rd 
gallery has a few shots of the falls and elsewhere in the U.P.

http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p542727846

An enjoyable trip, one I would like to repeat when the weather is a bit drier.

I don't have much room to move farther away from the back. Could shoot
with wider aperture, but dang thats hard when you are not behind the

Thanks, Ann.
This yellow/beige wall was brilliantly lit by an early sun. It was so bright 
that the sensor tried 18% gray and darkened everything. I lightened it all 
somewhat. 
The sky, tree and dark globs in the front were treated to an extra smidge of 
lightening with color curves. Couldn't handle the lighter sky, so just left it 
along. I haven't forgotten it.
Will probably do some surgical dodging.

 A curious man.  He used the piece of cardboard to sweep litter, then he'd 
 rest and seemingly contemplate his next move.  I suppose it's unfortunate the 
 black van is behind him, but traffic was heavy, and the passing cars might 
 have proved a greater distraction.  Perhaps the black van simplifies the 
 background as opposed to traffic congestion in the background?  I got a 
 little lucky with the set of 3 men.  Once I took this shot, the curious man 
 knew what was up and turned his back towards me.  Fair enough I thought and 
 went about my business.

 I think I need to controll the spill light better in this very tight

 one side black.
 
 Later today I will have more fun photographing me and Marit (my

 I have enabled myself with a Eye-Fi card. So now I'm shooting RAW+
 WiFi transfering small jpg on the fly into Lightroom. You can set up

 Highly recomended, makes it so much easier to finetune the light.

Love it! Wonderful composition, great subject, beautiful muted colours.

A fast-vanishing breed.

Subject: PESO: Nicolaus Grocery

This morning my wife and I took a tour of a few very small back water towns in 
our area. Was looking for history in any form. Was equipped with both the K-5 
and K20. I collected a passel of shots, but they are all of this building. May 
post another piece or two later. 
I found parking in the area very restrictive. Consequently, most were shot with 
the K20/DA 16~45. Got a few with K-5/DA*50~135.
Went out early hoping for a bit of sweet light, but all I encountered were deep 
shadows in those areas I wanted.. May back track some day and try a couple 
scenes again.

Re: GESOs: Birds, flowers and waterfalls

Thanks Ann and Jack for your comments. Jack, I did some fiddling with the 
goldfinch - there is a slightly reworked version in the same folder as the 
previous one. The newer version is more of a vertical crop, a few other tweeks.

 Tiny bit more contrast please.(?)

 I've added three small galleries under the FloraFauna folder on my photo 
 site; these cover the last three days of my trip around Lake Michigan.
 
 FloraFauna folder is here:  http://photos.stanhalpin.com/f373033916  Last 
 three galleries are new.
 
 When I left Milwaukee after the gathering there, I headed north into central 
 Wisconsin. Sunday morning I spent time in and around the Horicon Marsh 
 National Wildlife Refuge (NWR):
 
 http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p818771490
 
 Sightings included several Black-backed Stilts and Dunlins (new to me and 
 rare in the midwest). And my first relatively close-up view of a pair of 
 Redhead ducks.
 
 I then proceeded northwest into the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan. Quite 
 a bit of rain along the way and overnight. Monday morning I spent in and 
 around the Seney NWR; 
 
 http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p1006118452
 
 Monday afternoon I drove through heavy rain to Whitefish Point, usually one 
 of the top birding spots in the state, especially during spring migration. It 
 seemed that all the birds were hunkered down because of the cold wet weather, 
 so I did also. I stayed overnight in Paradise, then did some short walks 
 around the Upper Falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park before heading south 
 for home through more rain. Besides the Falls etc. I did see an American 
 Redstart pair (new to me) but couldn't get any decent pictures. Couldn't even 
 get my usual picture of the Macinaw Straits bridge - too much fog/low-lying 
 clouds. The 3rd gallery has a few shots of the falls and elsewhere in the U.P.
 
 http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p542727846
 
 An enjoyable trip, one I would like to repeat when the weather is a bit drier.

bw is a funny angle, bit of right eyelash showing; maybe if you shot from

2013-05-24 Thread Paul Stenquist
A fascinating scene. I like the flag and porch in scene. The car wheel is  a 
bit of a distraction, but the trailer bothers me more. In any case, the wall 
makes it all very worthwhile, and I realize you couldn't move those elements. 
and cropping them off would remove the context. It would be nice to reshoot if 
they ever move that darn trailer.

Best,
Paul

 Nice, Jack.  The wall proves to be an interesting subject.  Colors in frame 
 are pretty as is the warm tone.  I agree with Tim's point about flag and 
 black pick up.  Cheers, Christine
