Re: Eclipse photography

[Larry Colen]

Just as I was heading out on my road trip B sent out an eclipse mailer:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/solar-observing/ci/33818/N/3583558376/sba

When I was in Portland I was talking to my rocket scientist friend Phil 
about watching the eclipse, he wants to make a camera obscura to project 
the image of the sun.  It turns out that if you take a long lens 
(500mm), and place it back to back with a wide angle lens (samyang 8mm?) 
you can then focus a projected image a reasonable distance away.


We did some quick proof of concept with my bigma and my sigma 20/1.8.

Philip just ordered himself an inexpensive Celestron.  Here are his 
notes from when he was waiting for it:


From the intarwebz:

D = 0.0093P(FLtelescope/FLeyepiece)

D = image diameter, m
P = Projection distance, m
object - sun

And, if your telescope has an all metal and glass eyepiece, you can just
use that for projecting.  Even back projection, through a funnel stuck
into the objective tube, to a screen strapped on the end of it.
Reflectors can melt their secondary mirror's mounting if it's plastic.
If so, you can stop it down with a 1-2" aperture on the inlet end.
So 1 1/4" eyepieces may make the best second lens for this.  The
Celestron AStroMASTER 114 comes with 10mm and 20mm ones, so it'll
project nice images using those if they don't melt.

I then got this update from him yesterday:
Hey,

The ASStroBlaster 114 arrived.  Some things I've learned.
The tripod/mount is acceptable, though the solar image wiggles pretty 
easily, that's pretty good mag, so more solid would be better.


Its 20mm eyepiece has just enough FOV to project the sun and maybe the 
moon, but the spare on the edges is so slim that you have to constantly 
be tracking to keep up with that sucker.
A motor drive is definitely in order.  There's one for this beast, I'll 
have to track it down.


This situation should improve with wider FOV eyepieces (in theory), but 
will get worse with shorter FL ones.  The projected image size is nice 
but not as wide as I dream of for the Camera Obscura.

So, looking for very wide FOV eyepieces of 10-15mm now.

The 'scope is "A Jones-Bird Newtonian telescope ... is a mirror-lens 
(catadioptric) variation on the traditional design sold in the amateur 
telescope market. The design uses a spherical primary mirror in place of 
a parabolic one, with spherical aberrations corrected by sub-aperture 
corrector lens usually mounted inside the focusser tube or in front of 
the secondary mirror. This design reduces the size and cost of the 
telescope with a shorter overall telescope tube length (with the 
corrector extending the focal length in a "telephoto" type layout) 
combined with a less costly spherical mirror. Commercially produced 
versions of this design have been noted to be optically compromised due 
to the difficulty of producing a correctly shaped sub-aperture corrector 
in a telescope targeted at the inexpensive end of the telescope market." 
(Wikipedia)


So far, the solar image is not sharp like it clearly could be.  Have to 
see how much of that is the eyepiece.  Cool set of big sunspots today, 
though.


Projecting through the eyepiece gets you a screen that is naturally at 
90 degrees to the sunlight.  A small sized screen (1'?) and a simple 
up-sun shade could be built onto the 'scope, and you'd have a decent 
setup without much trouble.


The cover that comes with it has a hole that makes it a perfect aperture 
for not roasting plastic optics.  I may have prematurely let some of the 
smoke out of it, but it's still alive.  Turns out as the sun drifts off 
to the side, it wants to melt any black plastic mounting the secondary 
optics.  Like around that cursed corrector lens mounted at the deep end 
of the focuser tube.  Or the focuser tube itself.  Or the eyepiece. 
Motor drive!  Maybe a fan for the secondary mirror.


-Phil


=

In any case, it seems that one critical aspect is some rough 
approximation of an equatorial mount, not to keep the image from 
blurring but to just keep it relatively centered.

It was in the front "yard" (field) of a ranch. A barn was off to the

Not a particularly good shot, I just thought it was an interesting

I've talked to several people who photographed previous eclipses and was
told not to use the internal filters because the lens will concentrate
enough light to melt them & besides messing up the filter it can damage
the lens & the sensor. One of my sources stated he had found out the
hard way.

I got an Astrozap AZ-1514 Full Aperture Glass Solar filter that fits
over the lens hood on my 300/2.8 - "Full Aperture Glass Solar Filter
124mm-130mm (4-7/8 to 5-1/8) diameter."

https://www.astrozap.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=36

I tried it out at GFM. It worked just fine, but I'm still learning how
to aim the camera. I should measure the lens hood diameter on my
80-200/2.8 Tokina ATX-Pro and order a filter for it.

Re: EXIF Mystery

[Igor PDML-StR]

Matthew,

You are correct in your assessment. I think it is the 2nd time I am making 
a wrong assumption that Flickr keeps its database up to date.
I need to take a mental note of it, and, more importantly, remember about 
it. :-)


What I didn't know is that LR/PS, etc are actually writing the deciphered 
lens information into the EXIF. I thought that the "Makernote" in the Exif 
is always decoded by Flickr.

Larry's version of Lightroom is new enough to understand the 28-105
lens code, and the version he exports to Flickr has the human-readable
name somewhere in the metadata courtesy of Lightroom doing the lookup.


I also uploaded a JPG to flickr - it showed no lens data as well, not even
the lens id code.


Flickr's not keeping their Pentax lens ID database up-to-date enough
to understand the code in straight-out-of-camera files. They're
probably barely keeping the lights on there.

Re: Edward S. Curtis Exhibit

[John]

Looks like a great exhibit. Too bad about it not traveling.

On 7/10/2017 22:59, Mark C wrote:

I went to Muskegon Michigan today to see an exhibit of Edwin S Curtis's
North American Indian prints. It was an excellent and massive exhibit,
well worth a visit.  I doubt that many PDMLer's are nearby, but in case
anyone is passing that way...

All 723 of Curtis' prints were on display - the full set. The museum
believes this is the first time the entire set has been displayed. I
wondered how a fairly small museum got this exhibit and where it would
go next. As it turns out the Muskegon public library was one of the 200+
subscribers to the original project and received the books and
photogravure prints as they were published. A docent told me that at
this time there were no plans to travel the show.

My only complaint - 723 prints plus supplemental displays is a bit
overwhelming - I plan another visit or two over the summer.

Here are a few cell phone snaps of some of the exhibits:

Re: Looking for feedback on a PESO

I think it is cropped too tight on the top... and since it is nearly 
colorless, a black and white version might make me like it a bit more..
The curve is nice, but the lack of contrast and the blandness of color 
keep me from loving it.

Larry,
Without the original frame it's hard to tell what compromises I would 
have made in the cropping if it was mine. So just a couple of 
observations... :-)
The arc of the stones works very well as a main motif in the 
composition. The way they are angled to the left make them look like a 
palisade. The sand and puddles in between makes me imagine that they 
obstinately try to resist the eroding forces of the waves or 
something. I like to imagine such things... :-)

The crop on the RH side seems just right to inforce the arc.

The space in the lower left and the puddles becomes part of the same 
narrative, and maybe (just maybe, right?) it would be even more 
effective if it was a bit larger, to make the stones look more lonely 
in their struggle, if that makes any sense.


The top edge is the only one that doesn't frame the narrative 
properly, in my opinion. There is an object at the edge almost in the 
upper RH corner that draws my attention. I would be strongly tempted 
to use the clone tool... :-)


There is also a colur echo of the rim of the puddles in the sliver of 
water up there that maybe could be incorporated into the composition. 
I also think that the arc of stones would benefit from being a little 
further from the edge in the upper LH corner.


But hey, it's your shot man, and it's pretty good as it is.

A lot of the time when I post a photo, I know why I like it.  This is 
one that I don't have a good understanding of its strengths and 
weaknesses, which is why I didn't post it earlier.  However a friend 
just commented positively about it on flickr, so I thought I'd give 
it a try. I cropped a lot out of the original frame, so there's a lot 
of latitude in re-composition.
