Re: PESO: Stained Glass

Re: Goodbye, Cameras
My recollection is that virtually all modern wide-to-normal camera lenses contain aspherical elements, and that most of those are hybrid--a glass spherical lens with a plastic element cemented on to give it a complex aspheric shape. The most notorious of these in Pentax land is the FA 28-70/4, whose aspheric element has had a tendency to separate over time.

It's not really that good at 50mm either, but I have other, better lenses covering the range from 18mm to 300mm (including other Sigma lenses), so I never really use it for anything except the long end of the range. I'm willing to accept that mine might be a less than prime example. Unless I've forgotten one, I have 5 Sigma lenses the 50-500 is the only one that I've been dissatisfied with. -- 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.

stitching photos
A while back, I mentioned that what I really wanted was software that would take multiple raw files, convert the values into absolute light levels on each of the three channels (I.e. expand the dynamic range of the image data by combining different exposure frames) and then stitch those frames together into a panorama that could then be processed in lightroom. Someone mentioned some software that they said would do pretty close to what I wanted. I saved that email someplace, but don't remember where off hand. Now that I have an SI buttload of panoramas with each frame taken at several exposure levels from my recent trip, something that would combine those frames into a high resolution, expanded dynamic range file that I could process in lightroom would be very handy. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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: Photos from Big Sur, the desert and Death Valley
Looks like a fantastic trip - that's a great collection of photos! Mark On 1/5/2014 3:17 AM, Larry Colen wrote: I just spent slightly less than a week on the road. I took my usual metric shitload of photos, a lot of which were just happy snaps and many were for stitching into panoramas if/when I have a chance. I did get a few that didn't suck too badly. I drove down to LA on Sunday by way of Big Sur, the weather was beautiful, and the roads were clogged with tourists. In the future, I think that I'll do my best to avoid Big Sur on weekends. I managed to spend a few hours at Limekiln, which was one of my favorite places to go as a kid. Big Sur: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157639424720424/ We spent our first night in the desert in Mojave. That evening we tried to find the site of Nowak's opal mine, were we used to hunt for fire opal when I was a kid. We spent some time driving dirt roads in Lorry, my Dodge van. I had fun, Candace didn't really enjoy the off road experience. I tried to use my astrotracer and the tamron 300/2.8 to get some photos of Andromeda but failed miserably. I did play a bit with my Korean fisheye though. The next morning we had brunch at the Voyager Cafe at the Mojave spaceport. That evening we drove as far a Lone Pine, which turned out to be far more scenic than we expected and we ended up spending an extra day there. Desert: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157639424755274/ The following day we drove out Death Valley, getting in a little shooting before sunset. I had fun trying to catch the new moon setting. Didn't quite get the shot I wanted, but it was still fun. We spent the night in Beatty Nevada, about 45 minutes out of the park, and surprisingly picturesque. That night we did some night photography in the ghost town of Rhyolite. I played a bit with my astrotracer. Most of Friday was spent at Zabriskie Point, which is ridiculously scenic. We got there in the mid afternoon. I think that for a lot of the photos, the lighting would be best in the morning. The walk down to the valley floor is much easier than it looks, and well worth it, especially in the canyons to the left of the lookout, looking towards the desert. It's very easy to get beautiful shots of the gorgeous rock formations, but a bit more challenging to get shots that aren't monontonously beautiful, all looking pretty much alike. I did manage to get a little bit lost on my way back out of the canyon, and climbing out of canyons, in the dark (albeit with headlamp), up steep dirt cliffs, when overweight and out of shape was a special kind of fun. Death Valley: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157639424829284/ Candice has posted a couple of sets from her trip: Mojave: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ccmonty/sets/72157639413836205/ Red Rock Canyon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ccmonty/sets/72157639412196866/ If I have some spare time, I may go back and process and post some more photos from the trip. -- 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: Photos from Big Sur, the desert and Death Valley

I also learned a lot that will be handy for future trips. Zabriskie point is fun for hiking, and it's almost hard to get a photo there that isn't amazingly scenic, but it seems that the areas that are the most fun photographically surround death valley. Mark On 1/5/2014 3:17 AM, Larry Colen wrote: I just spent slightly less than a week on the road. I took my usual metric shitload of photos, a lot of which were just happy snaps and many were for stitching into panoramas if/when I have a chance. I did get a few that didn't suck too badly. I drove down to LA on Sunday by way of Big Sur, the weather was beautiful, and the roads were clogged with tourists. In the future, I think that I'll do my best to avoid Big Sur on weekends. I managed to spend a few hours at Limekiln, which was one of my favorite places to go as a kid. Big Sur: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157639424720424/ We spent our first night in the desert in Mojave. That evening we tried to find the site of Nowak's opal mine, were we used to hunt for fire opal when I was a kid. We spent some time driving dirt roads in Lorry, my Dodge van. I had fun, Candace didn't really enjoy the off road experience. I tried to use my astrotracer and the tamron 300/2.8 to get some photos of Andromeda but failed miserably. I did play a bit with my Korean fisheye though. The next morning we had brunch at the Voyager Cafe at the Mojave spaceport. That evening we drove as far a Lone Pine, which turned out to be far more scenic than we expected and we ended up spending an extra day there. Desert: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157639424755274/ The following day we drove out Death Valley, getting in a little shooting before sunset. I had fun trying to catch the new moon setting. Didn't quite get the shot I wanted, but it was still fun. We spent the night in Beatty Nevada, about 45 minutes out of the park, and surprisingly picturesque. That night we did some night photography in the ghost town of Rhyolite. I played a bit with my astrotracer. Most of Friday was spent at Zabriskie Point, which is ridiculously scenic. We got there in the mid afternoon. I think that for a lot of the photos, the lighting would be best in the morning. The walk down to the valley floor is much easier than it looks, and well worth it, especially in the canyons to the left of the lookout, looking towards the desert. It's very easy to get beautiful shots of the gorgeous rock formations, but a bit more challenging to get shots that aren't monontonously beautiful, all looking pretty much alike. I did manage to get a little bit lost on my way back out of the canyon, and climbing out of canyons, in the dark (albeit with headlamp), up steep dirt cliffs, when overweight and out of shape was a special kind of fun. Death Valley: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157639424829284/ Candice has posted a couple of sets from her trip: Mojave: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ccmonty/sets/72157639413836205/ Red Rock Canyon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ccmonty/sets/72157639412196866/ If I have some spare time, I may go back and process and post some more photos from the trip. -- 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. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
