Gazania!  I love those flowers.  We have quite a few of them in our front 
garden and I replanted a whole lot of seedlings just before winter so we should 
have even more this time.  The garden out the front is very dry and quite sunny 
and they thrive there.

The warthogs look interesting but I don't think I'd want them near my garden.

I can only see 3 photos, it's just saying "Fetching more photos" forever :(

Cheers,
Dave

Read Larry's link: leenks.com did NOT credit/link Jordan Matter until
people complained (and indeed there was no credit/link when I followed
your URL, which was why I followed up).

Aahz, you are correct, - what I meant is to mention the thread started
by my message, not just the message itself. 
And yes, thank you, I saw the author's website, but I was totally 
swamped with work yesterday, and forgot to thank you for that link.
(BTW, the link I posted - already credits the author and provides

Re: Inspired by the old Asahi Optical logo (Darren Addy)

[Darren Addy]

I didn't quite get what you meant by the description either, but that
does look nice. It isn't keeping as much of the original logo's "A",
but I agree it is a good looking "P".
Logo design by committee... interesting concept.

from a Sony video camera. I use it for fill lighting on stills as well. Se;;s

I also saw the other one of her.  I'm looking forward to more 
photos in the set.

Sounds like a fun series.

If by chance you have a metz flash, they have a mode where you can 
program it to take n shots at intervals of t seconds.  With a suitably
dark background you could get some fun shots of the whole flight like
that.

If you don't, I suppose you could have several assistants with
manual flashes who trigger them at appropriate times.

I expect that by now you've looked at the photos that Igor and I pointed
to?  If not you should.  And maybe even send the guy who took them a note
asking if he has any suggestions.

thanks Bruce.  I'm having fun learning the new kit.  It's forcing
me to push my limits, and not assume that I know how to take any
given photo.

If I'm lucky, it'll even teach me some things about using a regular
camera, that doesn't use IR.

Har! :-)

This is supposed to become a series. We are designing another shoot
with the sole intention of capturing Sophie in flight. She was
constrained here because we were on a rocky breakwall with a 15 foot
drop to the lake behind her. And it was getting dark: shot was taken
10 minutes after sunset. :-)

Thanks, Don!

I sure hope she likes it that much. She did seem pretty pleased with

seems part of the typical teen makeup. :-)

PESO Sunset by the sea

[Bruce Walker]

I took this portrait fully 30 minutes after sunset, looking west out
onto Lake Ontario, with Port Credit's shoreline to the right (you can
see faint lights from the jetty).

http://flic.kr/p/fuZEPV

I dragged the shutter just at the limit of usefulness: 1/20th
handheld. I did not amp these colours in Lr or Ps; they are as taken.
I did gel the flashes; that affected the blues.

K20D, DA* 50-135/2.8 @ 80mm/f3.2, 1/20th sec, ISO 400; fully manual,
including focus!
30" umbrella softbox with AF540FGZ, on monopod right. Bare AF540FGZ,
handheld left.
Lr + Ps.

Re: GESO - The Apple Don't Fall Far from the Tree

[Igor Roshchin]

First, I thought "Apple doesn't fall as far as NASDAQ".
:-)

If I may, - a few comments. 
It's a fun gallery, but I think it is not as spectacular as your typical 
GESOs.
I can tell that the light conditions were harsh, and you had to work
with what's available. But the first thing that came to my mind is how
the shots were framed.
I assume you were shooting in the open (not "from the hip"). 
- In that case, I would have done the framing rather differently on
several photos (e.g. #5, 7, 8, 10, 15).
Those are either too much shifted to one side (to my liking), or include
extraneous subjects that could be avoided if slightly reframed.

On the shot #6 I would try to avoid the slight overlap with the water
bottles by moving slightly, probably forward and to the right 
(while keeping the monitor speaker off the feet on the either side).


Best regards,

Igor

In all fairness, neither your message nor the original link you used
credited Jordan Matter (which I did in my followup), and Larry's link
provides some additional context about the viral spread.  I strongly
recommend looking at the tech.co link even if you saw yesterday's thread,
because it talks about the leenks.com photos being uncredited.

Not being a sailor, I thought the "old gaffers"
were going to be the kind of two legged critters that get credited
at the end of a film - these guys :-)
clipped from Wiki...

"A gaffer in the motion picture industry and on a television crew is an 
electrician, sometimes head of the electrical department, responsible 
for the electrification (and sometimes the design) of the lighting plan 
for a production's grips. The term Gaffer originally related to the 
moving of overhead equipment to control lighting levels using a gaff. 
The term has been used for the chief electrician in films since 1936 
according to the Oxford English Dictionary.[1] However, a book on motion 
picture production from 1929 refers to the chief electrician as the 
gaffer.[2] The gaffer's assistant is the best boy.[3]


Sometimes the gaffer is credited as Chief Lighting Technician (CLT)."

Your gaffers are more picturesque :-)

I think Pentax gradually improved the accuracy of the mechanism (both
in the camera bodies and in the lenses) over the years. My Vivitar
70-210 is the same version as yours and it's always been a little
sloppy with regard to exposure. I just bracket.

During our recent trek through the Dolomites we experienced a few
bouts of atrocious weather. I was using the K-5 and 16-50/2.8 and was
the only one shooting when the weather was really bad. The camera/lens
never skipped a beat.

I found the metering to be wildly inaccurate with my "A" version S1 lens as 
well.  At the time I blamed the K10D.

I have since sold it...

Vivitar S1 70-210mm back from repair.

[P.J. Alling]

Well I just picked up the Vivitar S1, (third version), that I sent out 
for repair at the post office.  It seems to be working exactly as it did 
before it's unfortunate accident.


Unfortunately that lens has always been a bit wonky as far a metering is 
concerned.  I sometimes get the feeling that Vivitar only slapped an A 
mount on it and didn't change the way the aperture mechanism worked to 
match the Pentax A standard.  However it only cost a nominal amount to 
get the aperture lever working again, so I'm pretty happy.


I guess I'll post a few sample pics as soon as I see something I think 
is worth photographing.

Rinsing the camera under a tap (or with a bottle of water) is always good for 
making the other photographers around you jump in alarm.  :-)

I haven't had to do it often, but when I have done it, it's been pricelessly 
amusing to watch the reactions of others around me.

Re: OT: Inside the KKK

[John]

I wonder if it's not on the same shaky ground as the Communist Party in
the U.S. during the late 40s & early 50s. If it hadn't been for the dues
paid by FBI infiltrators, the whole organization would have collapsed
from lack of funding.

She flies frequently enough to go use the priority TSA screening line.
She reported that the line was very slow because of two flamingos

For those unfamiliar with the British press, this old guide might help:

 o  The Economist is read by the people who run the country

 o  The Times is read by the people who pretend to run the country

 o  The Guardian is read by the people who think they should run the country

 o  The Telegraph is read by the people who think the country should be run
by the people who used to run the country

 o  The Daily Mail is read by the people who think it still is

and, finally:

 o  The Sun is read by people who don't care who runs the country
as long as she has big tits.

Very athletic action photo. The one rock in the lower right implies she

I made a visit to RDU Airport last Saturday. Went out to exercise my
K10D and ended up at the observation deck there. Not really much to see,
but there was a little bit of a thunderstorm passed through & I thought
this one was worth playing around with.

A bit of Nik filters - about 10% Silver Efex Pro & 90% Color Efex Pro.

Re: OT: Inside the KKK

[Walt]

Thanks, Aahz!

It's kind of funny that you'd mention that. I while back, someone I met 
actually asked me if I'd like to attend a Klan meeting in Arkansas, and 
all I could think was, "Man, that would make an incredible photo 
opportunity!" But, then I got to thinking of Hunter S. Thompson's 
experience with the Hell's Angels and thought, "Eh, better not."


There were some great shots in that piece, though. Almost makes me want 
to reconsider. Almost.

My conclusion was that it is a skipper also, but I did not find any

Photographer's Websites Critiqued on The Grid ep. 109

[George Sinos]

Yesterday's episode of The Grid was interesting.  Instead of doing a
critique of photos, Colby Brown, Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski gave
their opinions and advice on the photographer's websites.  Matt K
actually tried to keep things on topic and there was significantly
less random chatter than usual.

I'm sure everyone won't agree with what they say, but their comments
are certainly worth considering.   They were mainly talking about
sites that were trying to sell photos, not casual photo sharing.

This is episode 109.

Re: Kirk Tuck likes the K-01 ...

[Zos Xavius]

I've left pentax WR bodies on tripods in the rain for hours. No ill
effects. The other day I slid down a hill accidentally. I had dirt all
through the front edial. I rotated the e-dial clear (still works fine)
and took the camera and rinsed it off in a sink and blasted the e-dial
with water while I rotated it.. No problems. A very slight scuff was
the worst that happened. Pentax cameras are tough.
