Can I retroactively change lens data across multiple images in LR?

2014-09-25 Thread Eric Weir

I know I am in danger of being referred to the tutorials here, and if so that’s 
OK, but I’m copping out and posing the question here after googling for help 
and not getting any good leads: Can I retroactively change lens data, 
specifically, the focal length of the lens, across multiple images in LR? Even 
a suggestion of topics in the tutorials that would address this question would 
be very helpful. 

Thanks,

One cold, cloudy, foggy morning I stepped out with the K-5 and 18-135
WR in our neighborhood - Thornhill, Ontario - where you can see the
tree to the left of our house, photo 5331. I was amazed to see whiffs
of vapor / smoke coming out from the barks of this tree - a phenomenon
I had never seen before.

Fall colors begin to show and the maple tree leaves - Canadas symbol
on the Flag - are turning
a beautiful red  gold. Soon many of the the trees will become
skeletons when the leaves fall
to the ground. One such lonely red  gold maple leaf can be seen on
the rusted man-hole.

The spider has woven a complicated web low in the grass and says come
into my parlor. As if the kill is not enough, he has dew all around
him for a drink after his meal.

As Halloween approaches golden brown pumpkins begin to appear in homes
outside as a good
omen and a sign of much fun  joy.

Enjoy the photos here:

Re: Good Ars Technica article on photography copyright

2014-09-25 Thread P.J. Alling

I quote from the article:

I am leaving professional photography for an academic position less 
prone to the frustrations of a floundering copyright system.


But that's not right, exactly, the copyright system isn't floundering, 
it works quite well for those it's designed to protect. Disney studios 
and their like benefit greatly, and somewhat smaller players with 
somewhat looser ethics, benefit as well.  If they can afford a legal 
staff, to fight for your rights, they're in good shape.  While at the 
same time if the big players, accidentally, or maybe not so 
accidentally, violate someone else' copyright, and it's a small player, 
it's unlikely they'll even be able to effectively challenge the 
violation.  The copyright system works just fine.


Then again maybe I'm just cynical.

I forgot to render 1:1 previews for this set. So, it's taking longer time to

While processing photos that had a lot of blue sky in them
(from Dallas Hot Air Balloon Festival), I noticed an interesting effect:
while LR (3.6) is loading the full preview, it is showing some lower 
quality preview (from the thumbnail?), and there is clear bending effect 
showing in the sky area.

Once the full preview is loaded, no bending can be seen.
I haven't seen this type of effect in any of the previous photos.

I wonder what could be different with these photos... higher dynamic range 
in the sky? Stronger gradient?


Any thoughts?

Re: PESO - Before the Revolution

The young woman in the left background appears to be in period French

Well, I don't know how Marco meant it but I'm seeing waiters or servers

to immediately serve their masters.

The body language is awkward, arms folded behind their back. Even at that it 
looks like the fellow on the left is tense, arms and hands twisted, like a 
coiled spring, as if he wants to scream out in anger, demanding respect.

Meanwhile the rich folk are oblivious. They take no notice of the staff 
unless of course they need something.

I would think working in such a place is very humiliating no matter what the

PESOs/GESO - Hot Air Balloons

2014-09-25 Thread Igor PDML-StR


Last weekend, we went to the Hot Air Balloon festival in Dallas.
It is organized somewhat differently from the one I went in Illinois some 
17-18 years ago...


It was fun to watch those balloons.
Here are a few highlights:

And a guy who fell (or jumped) out of one of the balloons:

Here is how it happened:

The full gallery is here:

 While processing photos that had a lot of blue sky in them
 (from Dallas Hot Air Balloon Festival), I noticed an interesting effect:
 while LR (3.6) is loading the full preview, it is showing some lower quality
 preview (from the thumbnail?), and there is clear bending effect showing in
 the sky area.
 Once the full preview is loaded, no bending can be seen.
 I haven't seen this type of effect in any of the previous photos.
 
 I wonder what could be different with these photos... higher dynamic range
 in the sky? Stronger gradient?
 
 Any thoughts?
 
 Igor

I assume you mean banding :-)

Large areas of sky are the parts of a photograph where you are most likely to
see banding, because that's the most common case of a large area with uniform
weak colour gradients.  The easiest way to see this is to generate JPEGs with
smaller and smaller file sizes; the smaller the file size the more pronounced
the banding will be. The embedded preview JPEG generated in-camera will use a
fairly low quality setting.

There's also the fact that the human visual system is exceptionally good at
spotting patterns, so you pick out the edge of the bands and enhance them.

Re: Can I retroactively change lens data across multiple images in LR?

2014-09-25 Thread Igor PDML-StR


Eric,

I am afraid the answer is no, not from LR.

In principle, there is software that that allows writing (editing) various 
information into EXIF (the portion of the image file where all the 
so-called meta-data is saved, including the focal length).


I haven't worked with ver. 5, but from what I know about both 3.x and
4.x, I assume Adobe have not added that capability to ver.5.x.

Best,

Igor

Yes and no.  The cross wind blows the plane off course a bit, and the
pilot turns left (left wing low) to get back on the proper ground
track.  Then, he has to turn back to the right a bit (right wing low)
to get on the proper heading.

exiftool can do it; if you must do it within Lightroom, you could try this 
plug-in, which relies on exiftool:

Thanks, Igor

What matters most is how the images look in print... I'll have a hard

not the exact files that are being used for the print runs at cafepress...


Incidentally - that photo is the only one of the lot taken with film - 
kodachrome 64... scanned by Spectra for me about 20 years ago.

 Something for everyone - color infrared, mono infrared, and straight color 
 shots with the K3.
 
 A few technical comments beyond what I wanted to put in my blog:
 
 The first shot is color IR because otherwise the leaves of the tree and the 
 overcast sky virtually blend together. The color gives much better tonal 
 separation.
 
 I took the second shot in both IR and color (K10D and K3). Invisible in the 
 IR shot but distracting in the color shot is a good bit of dead foliage in 
 the foreground. So instead of getting a nice green frame around the sunken 
 boat there is a distracting green and brown mess of foliage. The IR shot 
 rendered as mono worked best.
 
 This was the only loation where I used the Takumar F 70-200 and that was to 
 get frame filling shot of the shipwreck out in the bay. The lens is wickedly 
 sharp and the detail in the old hulk of a boat is interesting at actual 
 pixels since you can see a lot of detail - but a smaller image showing just  
 the wreck out in the water without context is not interesting so it didn't 
 get posted. At the end of the day I could have lived without any lens longer 
 than 70mm.
 
 The third shot was probably the most technically challenging in that there 
 was a persistent glare off the wood hull of the sunken boat and the algae 
 around it. I was glad I packed a polarizing filter. With the polarizer and a 
 little post exposure processing things came out OK.
 
 Thanks for looking and comments appreciated.

 Hi Everyone:
 
 Had to run an errand downtown today and thought I?d head over to the 
 Michigan Ave. Apple store to get some snaps of the long lines.  Gorgeous day 
 today--weather really nice.  We hear a bad storm is headed our way late 
 tomorrow though.

No it doesn't. I heard a news report that said the march drew as many as 
300k people, and was a combination of everything from environmentally 
concerned people to left wing lunatics who think deconstructing the 
entire western civilization would be a good thing.

No surprise it was a mess.
