Re: K1 vs 645z

[Mark C]

I've done a lot of pixel shift work with the K1 and have to say that it 
represents an incremental improvement in detail and dynamic range, but 
is not a critical factor. In focus stacks there is a noticeable 
improvement in detail using pixel shift mode, and its visible when pixel 
peeping or when printing at larger sizes. But its not something that 
would make or break an image - I can't imagine a situation where I'd 
look at an image and think that it would not work if  shot in non pixel 
shift mode, even if the pixel shifted image has more detail. It's an 
incremental improvement, but not a game changer.

I agree that pixel-shift might pretty-much close the gap between the

styles/subjects of shooting. Like any kind of people or sports. Any
handheld use. In fact anything at all where the subject or camera
might move. :)

And then there's the issue of processing pixel-shifted results. All I
hear lately is folks perplexed about how you post-process
pixel-shifted files. To me all this makes pixel shift a novelty
feature.

Re: PESOs (3) - On My Way to Work (April)

[Ken Waller]

Hi Rick - my take FWIW -

In the first one, I intended the in-focus blossoms to make a “swoosh” 
beginning upper left and ending upper right. In LR I added 1/2 stop to it 
to help it stand out from the background. I tried a few different 
apertures; this one (f/6.7) probably has a little too much DOF.


While I can see the swoosh you intended, it's masked by the similar white 
blooms in the background. It either needs more separation from the 
background or better yet the background need  to be totally different - like 
the green leaves at the bottom.


My intent with the pink dogwood was similar, except for using an arc 
instead of a swoosh.


This image has very nice subjects but they need to be emphasized by showing 
the most complete buds and minimizing the partial buds that surround the 
three central to the image - ie a tighter crop on the three central buds and 
minimizing the green space to the right of the center buds.


In the third one, I wanted to include the OOF blue flowers in the 
background. Looking at it again, I would crop out the blossoms peeking in 
from the bottom and right.


A tighter crop, as you stated, would accomplish a more pleasing image IMO.

YMMV

Actually a good deal of compositional thought went into these, and I’d 
appreciate your suggestions.

Other than being an avid watcher of movies, I have zero interest in
cinematography myself, but this stuff is just as relevant to still
photography as cine. It's all about light and colour.

I'm usually incredibly anal about checking that there is nothing compromising
the seals but have to admit, on this occasion, I failed to do so.  I can find
nothing wrong with the camera at all but it ended up with a tide mark halfway up
the LCD.  Even then, if it had been fresh water there might have been a chance -
pool water is catastrophic for electronics.

Re: PESOs (3) - On My Way to Work (April)

[Rick Womer]

Thanks for commenting, Ken.

Actually a good deal of compositional thought went into these, and I’d 
appreciate your suggestions. 

In the first one, I intended the in-focus blossoms to make a “swoosh” beginning 
upper left and ending upper right. In LR I added 1/2 stop to it to help it 
stand out from the background. I tried a few different apertures; this one 
(f/6.7) probably has a little too much DOF.

My intent with the pink dogwood was similar, except for using an arc instead of 
a swoosh.

In the third one, I wanted to include the OOF blue flowers in the background. 
Looking at it again, I would crop out the blossoms peeking in from the bottom 
and right.

Cheers,

Rick

Re: PESOs ( 4) - At Sintra Castle

[Doug Brewer]

Very nice, Rick. I have very fond memories of a day in Sintra a couple 
years back, and your photos bring those memories bubbling back.

Re: KNARF?

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Rob, that's good to hear.

I can't see that on FB, because I am not one of Frank's friends.  I sent
him a request, but I guess he remembers me and thought better of it.

Re: K1 vs 645z

[Rob Studdert]

The HD DFA645 28-45 is a ridiculously good landscape lens, it runs
rings around the 15-30/2.8 Tamron for edge to edge sharpness, flare
resistance and lack of CA.
