Thanks Rick.
A stack of thick slices is actually a good description.
Instead of instructing the software to stack all the single exposures in 
one go, it is instructed to stack them in groups of say, 15. Then when 
it's done, the groups (slabs) are stacked again to produce the final result.
It's a technique to get better results from deep stacks.

Re: PESO Bathing Together

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Well, one is bathing;  the other seems to be eyeing the bather.

I like the way the water droplets are caught in midair, and the motion blur
in the bather's tail.

Paul, I got all confused as to who's
shot this was. Just couldn't sort it
out on my phone. I gave Larry a

apparently he accepted it. 
Nice one, Paul! Please confirm it

Ohh that's superb.

I like the background lighting gradient - really adds to the image.

Boring to say, of course, that your bugs are always amazing. Love it mate

Since people keep asking how I got the photos, here is a photo of the

Re: PESO Connecticut Zen XX

I like it. You have detail in the highlights and the composition is pleasing. 
You might try moving the black point just a tiny bit to give it more contrast, 
but that’s a nit. Well done.

For many years I owned a 635cc motor scooter (Suzuki Bergman) with CVT. 
Wonderful smooth acceleration from zero to whatever. Never a problem with it.

Re: OT -Unexptected Good News from Subaru

[Paul Stenquist]

Yes, dual clutch transmissions with two gear sets are terrific, but too 
expensive thus far for entry level or even midrange cars. The best ones, like 
those on the AMG-Mercedes premium vehicles, allow downshifts that skip a couple 
of ranges and do rev matching as you go into the lower gear. That’s pretty 
awesome. The multi-disc clutch pack automatics are decent as well, and at least 
get rid of the inefficient torque converter. I too like a manual trans for all 
except heavy traffic commuting, which I no longer have to do. But I recall 
spending a month with a project truck, a Mazda diesel that I had fitted with a 
turbo, while commuting from central Jersey to NY through the Lincoln Tunnel. My 
knee was never the same. :-)

Re: OT -Unexptected Good News from Subaru

[Ken Waller]

I believe one of the benefits the makers of CVTs sought was increased 
mileage by

tuning the engine/trans to operate in the optimum power range.

However most people, use to the (gear) steps in an automatic find the 
constant acceleration to be unusual and to some unnerving, resulting in 
customer complaints and their effects on 'things gone wrong'.
The inclusion of 'steps' is the manufacturers effort to improve customer 
satisfaction.
I believe its another case of the industry unleashing 'new' technology 
without properly preparing the potential buyers for the different/unusual 
characteristics.


I've not seen any numbers but the inclusion of these emulated steps can't 
have a big effect on overall economy.


I also prefer a good manual transmission - I prefer the involvement -  but 
I've driven some of the better dual clutch vehicles and they are very hard 
not to like and generally shift quicker than most can shift a manual.

I suspect that the reimbursement from Subaru will go into the VW

every 10K or so. In the past year and a half we've replaced the timing 
chain, PCV system, rear main seal (blew out when the PCV system failed)

that the car would still ride just fine.


Good luck with your car search. CVT's are a fact o life these days

Thanks Rick.
A stack of thick slices is actually a good description.
Instead of instructing the software to stack all the single exposures in 
one go, it is instructed to stack them in groups of say, 15. Then when 
it's done, the groups (slabs) are stacked again to produce the final result.

It's a technique to get better results from deep stacks.

I used the Bugslabber v1.1 by Bill Eldridge. Slabs of 15 with 5

Not overly impressed with the XML file output from Bugslabber, because 
it claims to be UTF-8 and yet does not map the Scandinavian vowels 
right. Since I have all my images in a folder named "råfiler"

I'll have a look at the slabmaker. Maybe that's better.

it's a dud. It's clearly better (marginally) on film than on the K1 in 
terms of edge and corner sharpness. It also seems to be better at the long 
end than at 20mm. I recently fine-tuned the AF - and it needed about 5 
steps of correction IIRC - so I'm hoping that helps. But I seldom shoot 
wider than 28mm so I don't feel too motivated to upgrade to the DFA 15-30.


I suspect that the reimbursement from Subaru will go into the VW 
repair fund. My wife's 2009 Tiguan seems to develop a $500 - $1000 problem 
every 10K or so. In the past year and a half we've replaced the timing 
chain, PCV system, rear main seal (blew out when the PCV system failed) 
and water pump. Last Thursday the dealership told me that both rear 
springs are broken - I need to get that checked out by an independent 
mechanic. Seems odd that both springs would break at the same time and 
that the car would still ride just fine.


Good luck with your car search. CVT's are a fact o life these days 
but they seem to be prone to funky and fatal errors. I would do serious 
research on any CVT vehicle.

Hi Mark,

I was just thinking about you and your Subaru CVT a few time in the 

past week. (We are looking for a car right now.)


I am glad to hear that good news. I'd say that's probably an 
indicator of Subaru being one of the better manufacturers (behavior-wise). 
(Even though they should've admitted their problems much earlier.) And 
your local dealership is also among the better once since they've covered 
50% even before this event.


Nissan gave us all sort of problems with our CVT (on Rogue) over the 
past 9 year, starting from the 1st year.  And both, our dealership and the 
corporate office were very bad to address these problems. They were 
refusing to admit the problems despite the symptoms, until the 
transmission failed completely. And for the 2nd time, they were delaying 
admitting the problem it until the mileage was beyond the limit.


After almost 20 years of owning Nissans (not exclusively), I am too 
afraid to buy any Nissan at this point: all models I would be potentially 
interested in have CVTs, and Nissan CVTs are plagued with problems, and 
Nissan is bad addressing them.

Thanks Dan!
I photographed this beetle in the wild for a few minutes before 
capturing it. The pose was selected based on what I had observed of 
natural behaviour.

I have a piece of glass on a black background behind my setup to use as 
a mirror to help me position the specimens correctly in front of the 
lens. I noticed recently that it could also be used to create gradients 
in the background by making the angle from the flash just right.


Glad you noticed and commented!

Re: Photographing a baptism

[Paul Stenquist]

I would avoid getting bogged down with a lot of equipment. I can't imagine you 
will need more than the two zooms, and the shorter one on the K-1 would 
probably be enough. Almost all shots will require substantial DOF, so fast 
primes wouldn't be a plus.

Very nice shot, but you know that.




This one is a pollen eater as an adult, the larvae live under the bark
on dead twigs of various trees. Its wasp mimicry is not limited to
colours, it even buzz at the same frequency as wasps during flight.

645D, FA 120/4 macro, stacked from 165 exposures.

On the post-processing side, I tried "slabbing" or sub-stacking this
time. Some extra work, but I'm quite happy with the end result.

Re: Photographing a baptism

Most priests aren't going to engage in a live demo for a photographer, but the 
church probably has a printout of rules. But I assume this is a freeby, right? 
In that case you make your best guess, show up and shoot. Not much that could 
go wrong here. You will be fairly close, you don't need the bigma. With the 
range of something like a 24-70 and cropping possibilities, you'll be golden.


I told Cheyenneh, that I'd like her to take me to the church before the 
baptism so that I can at least see the place and have some idea of what 
I'll need.


I'll probably put my 28-75/2.8 on the K-1 and the 80-200 on the K-3, and 
will pack a  couple of my fast primes, just in case.
