PESO: Yellow wildflower

Yep, the trip down to South America was awesome. My partner was my
girlfriend at the time, we are now married and have added a baby girl to
the team. Also a second dog!

Hi PDML,

Anyway I've been making short lens reviews. It's a way to force myself to

it

seems and I've gained a lot of respect for people who make it seem easy.

I just posted my third video, first of a Pentax lens. Take a look:

There are some among us who have plenty of imagination or "The 
Photographer's Eye" as they say. Sadly, I seem to be lacking in that 
dep't and in the end it boils down to pot luck. Mobile 'phones (the 
modern equivalent of the Brownie Box camera) can save the day when the 
camera is languishing at home. Now there's an opportuniy for Ricoh-Pentax!

RE: for discussion

[jcoyle]

Very occasionally I have seen a potential photo, and have then gone out 
specifically to try to capture it.
More often, by usually carrying a camera with me, serendipity gives me 
something worth at least a shot, if not a more
serious attempt at catching a really good photo - and sometimes I'm up to the 
job!

Similarly, Garry Winogrand, I think, said he took photographs because he wanted 
to see what things looked like in photographs.

Re: for discussion

[P. J. Alling]

I'm not at all sure what that question means, but:

Unless I'm shooting something like a still life, or a formal portrait, 
or made a conscious effort to shoot something special, my process which 
includes my thought process is;


    1.) I see something I want to photograph.

    2.) Do I have equipment with me that allow me to at least 
approximate my supposed vision.


If not, and I have a camera with me but not a lens conducive to what I 
want to do, and with a smart phone who doesn't, I may snap a couple of 
shots anyway, examine them later, decide they're crap, and forget about 
them.


If I do have something approximating the right equipment with me, if 
it's a fleeting moment;


    3a.) I'll snap a couple of pictures, and if when I examine them 
later if I see something that might be worthwhile, I'll play with it a 
while in Photoshop, maybe get something that's acceptable, otherwise 
decide they're crap and forget about them.


If it's not a fleeting moment;

   3b.) I'll move around the subject, take a few images from different 
angles, and different exposures, though, different exposures aren't 
really that necessary with the K-5II or K-3, as the files are really 
malleable, examine them later and play with the better ones in 
Photoshop, maybe post one or two, or decide they're crap and forget 
about them.


So the answer is I guess little of both, but the philosophical question 
really has no particular meaning, it's through my agency that the 
photograph gets made, but after a couple glasses of whisky or pretty 
much any alcoholic beverage, I'll be happy to discuss it with you, 
mostly because I'm human and humans like to talk, even a borderline 
recluse like me.
