Thanks, Rick. I played around with various crops and I think you mean
something like I choose for the thumbnail of this image on my 500px
page, see it here: http://500px.com/attila_b
I also like that version, but I kept the top part because of the
pattern formed by the dark dome on top, the light areas under the
spotlight, and the dark window on the bottom right. I like this
dark-light-dark pattern formed by arcs.

I just got my old Win ME machine running again recently.  I needed to download 
some software so connected it up and started the browser... IE 5.5.  Wow.  Not 
worth bothering with any modern site then.

Firefox and Chrome require at least XP so I used my laptop for the download

2014-02-14 Thread Darren Addy

Well, I have myself with a little bill to get paid and so am parting
with a few photo books.
All will be sent out Media Mail cost (for U.S. delivery). Elsewhere
email me for a shipping quote (actual to your address).

Prices do not include shipping.

Giles Bensimon Photography, No Particular Order,

seen on the cover of Elle to beautifully lit black and white photos.
Each shot is full page in this larger than usual book.
This book really showcases his range as a photographer. Everything
from super sharp portraits to moody, slightly soft images.Any fan of

wonderful condition, the dust cover is not (yellowed and tattered).
Still, it has done its job in protecting the hardcover and the real
reason for the purchase is what's inside. This book, particularly the
1st Edition, fetches high prices but this one is priced very
reasonably.

http://sports.yahoo.com/photos/putin-pays-unexpected-visit-to-usa-house-1392396537-slideshow/

In particular, I am talking about photos #5, #8, especially since there

delivers the messages (I like it with my reasoning portion of the brain),
the blurry foreground bothers my eyes.
http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/gettyimages.com/president-vladimir-putin-visits-usa-20140214-164151-026.jpg

I wonder what other PDMLers think about this set, and the photos that I
mentioned.

2. And as for image #9,
http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Reuters/2014-02-14T154110Z_1029594953_GM1EA2E1TR202_RTRMADP_3_RUSSIA.JPG
I wonder if it the wierd way how Putin's face looks is the result
of some awkward compression, or result of oversharpening in an attempt
to salvage the image that was not quite in focus (or had some motion
blur)?

3. Also, I am curious why two photos have such a weird text in the caption:
"ATTENTION EDITORS - THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN SUPPLIED BY A THIRD PARTY. IT
IS DISTRIBUTED, EXACTLY AS RECEIVED BY REUTERS, AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS"
What would be the meaning and why it was left there?..

Any ideas?

My guess is Getty has an exclusive contract with the US Olympic
Committee to distribute US Olympic team images, but that Reuters have a
contract with Putin, Russia and/or the Kremlin. Getty is including the
Putin images from Reuters as a courtesy to the US Olympic Committee and
includes the disclaimer for legal reasons.

I don't have any problem with the images you single out. All but the OOF
foreground image are standard photojournalism from photographers who
don't rate a front row position in the scrum.

The OOF foreground image is obviously about the Putin watchers in the
background. Didn't someone recently post a PESO here where they used an
OOF foreground as a frame to make the background the subject?

The last one doesn't look over-sharpened to me. It's just a 60 something
year old guy photographed in an unflattering light. May have been
compounded by a relatively slow shutter speed combined with a slight
head movement during the shot.

Cotty, I understand that.

I know that my own humor is often too geeky or too subtle (as in
"convoluted") such that sometimes some people just shrug shoulders. 
Here is the opposite extreme: the authors make an attempt at jokes that
are too obvious to be funny. Jokes that are mocking other jokes (what I
call "second derivative" or "second order" jokes) are hard to make, 
and usually they are not funny. 

Some of the photos in that blog were made as a joke themselves. Even
if that original joke wasn't too funny, mocking it (and stretching the
context "by the ears") does not produce a good level joke.

Also, some of the joke attempts were falling into the category 
"don't kick the dog when its down".

Cheers,

Igor

This was in the sea turtle tank of the Maui Ocean Center.  I did go

Re: PESO: Today's Snow

I have been back in New Jersey since Sunday.

There is, of course, snow in Hawai'i.  On the Big Island, Mauna Kea
rises 13,803 ft (4,207 m) above sea level, and has snow every winter.
It's name means "?White Mountain" in Hawaiian, which demonstrates that
its snow cap was there long before the island was "discovered" by
Europeans.  In fact, a hiker was lost in the snow on Mauna Kea 2 weeks
ago.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mauna_Kea_from_the_ocean.jpg
Muana Loa, also on the Big Island, is just a few feet lower, and can
also have a snow cap.  Occasionally, even Haleakala, on Maui, which is
10,023 feet above sea level, has a bit of snow at the summit.  Three
years ago, there was a large patch of snow that we could observe from
the beach, where the temps were above 80 F.  It disappeared within a
few hours, however.

Re: OT: Lenovo Computers


I also have a Toshiba Satellite, and I'm pretty sure it must be at least
as old as yours. It also came preloaded with Windoze Vista, which I
never quite took a shine to.

It came with two hard drives 160 GB & 240 GB, which I've subsequently
replaced with a 500 GB & a 1 TB drive. It has the 4 GB max memory & that
has been a problem ... or at least an annoyance.

Under Vista I had 3.5 GB usable memory. I installed 64-bit Windoze 7 so
I could take advantage of ALL of the installed memory, but under 64-bit
Windoze 7 I only have 3GB of usable memory. Something in hardware or
bios makes it allocate that other memory to video even though the video
sub-system has its own dedicated VRAM separate from the main memory &
there's no where I can find that lets me tell the computer that I don't
want to use main memory for the video subsystem.

ago, but otherwise I have no complaints about the machine. I'm not a fan
of the Vista OS but aside from unduly long bootup times and the annoying
habit of disabling the USB ports after downloading updates (re-enabled
on the next reboot) it is OK. My wife bought a Toshiba 4 or 5 years ago
and it has also held up very well. When I go to get a new laptop someday
I'll check out Toshiba - I'm not current on whether or not they are

Re: Lenovo Computers


I don't remember Lenovo being one of the Chinese vendors the IBM PC
Company used. When I was working there all of the Chinese vendors were
based in Taiwan.

IBM's home/consumer Aptiva line was sub-contracted to ACER. The IBM PC
(the commercial line) was still manufactured/assembled in the USA.

Lenovo acquired the right to use IBM's name on their PCs for 5 years
after they bought the PC Company in 2005. Expiration of those rights are
why Lenovo started putting their own name on their products.

IBM had great technology, but their marketing & business plans for the
PC Company sucked. There was always an inherent conflict between the PC
Company & IBM's core business - mainframes & services.

The PC Company always ended up as the red-headed step-child.

On 2/13/2014 6:07 PM, John Coyle wrote:

In Australia, the law is that the retailer has responsibility for
repairs to defective items - and , IMHO, a keyboard should last more
than a year or so, so it was defective - 'not up to purpose' is the
legal phrase, I think.

A year ago, I bought my wife a Lenovo laptop. Apparently these
machines aren't the best there is, but this was for very light home
use, my wife does nothing with a home computer beyond a bit of web
surfing. She doesn't even have a home email address. Anyway, she told
me a month ago that the keyboard was faulty, and several keys didn't
work. Apparently, the Lenovo warranty is one year, and the machine
was off warranty by manufacture date. Eventually, I was able to get
Lenovo to extend the warranty to the retail sales date, so I took it
in to the shop where a bad keyboard was diagnosed.

The repair depot has now decided that they have no knowledge of the
computer coming in to be looked at, and now the warranty has
expired.

Note to self, do not EVER buy another Lenovo computer.

FWIW, swapping a keyboard out on a laptop is easier than picking your
nose. There will be a video on Youtube somewhere of how to do it. And a
replacement eekbay unit shouldn't cost more than a few bucks.

Alan,

Thank you for your response.
I knew that you were in South Africa, but I was not sure if you took
it near where you live or elsewhere.

This park looks like a great resource!
I envy you!

I used to live in San Diego, California, where, in addition to a very
large zoo, there was a Wild Animal Park, which, as I just learned, they
recently renamed into Safari Park.
http://www.sdzsafaripark.org/
The animals were not confined to a cage, but it was not a totally wild
habitat either.

Igor, we are blessed to live in Phalaborwa, South Africa, on the doorstep of

there are many others. We spend a fair amount of time in there. Game viewing

virtually nothing. The wetter parts of the park to the south have higher 
concentrations of game. Here is a link to the official website which will 
give you a lot of insight:

Re: PESO - Think I'll stay in today

Thanks, Chris - actually I went out - but not for several hours later. 
my ankles are hurting now because I didn't have thick enough socks in

my bad weather boots.

Re: PESO - Incipient Beer

I finally got the photo to appear, which I like - and it would be nice 
in a "Whatsit" group - Didn't we have a PUG like that a while ago?

Well, I don't make wine because I can buy much better wine than I can make.

I =do= brew beer because (1) it's fun, and (2) I can make beer at least as good 
as that I can buy.  I may have served Mark R some a few years ago…

My beer and the bathtub never come near each other.

back back back in the early 60's had a friend who home-brewed up in Maine - U 
of M English prof - I think he actually was using a bathtub in some way.  It 
was pretty awful stuff.

Yup; 7 gallon carboy with a blow-off tube.  Makes the beer much smoother than 
using a plastic tub.  An airlock gets plugged with the debris early 
fermentation produces.

Nice! Using a blow off tube instead of an airlock?

I tried my hand at home brewing for a few years but decided that I was a much 
better consumer of beer than producer, and decided to focus on what I do best...

Re: PESO: Sea Turtle

A sweet sad expression on the turtles face that you caught makes the 
shot very appealing.. so were you in the water or at the aquarium? does 
the K-r submerge?

I would think in this age of digital everything that Ricoh would have 
incorporated auto ISO that raised your ISO when the 1.4x is attached so the 
image as seen by the camera and in the LCD would remain fairly constant.

Pipe dreaming again Joe??

For $600 I would expect to see some sort of built in image intensification 
within the 1.4x instead of just upping the ISO. No?   :)
