Re: GESO - X2 Ideas - GDG

Of all the cameras that I have, I like the CL the most,
my black Pentax ME, that was stolen, is the second.

I really miss using them both.
I like you pictures a lot too.

Oh, yes.  That.

I went to Wolf camera a lot.  They told me that you can look at the
back of the print and tell how much post-adjustment has been done when
print.

I agree with Boris.  Looking at some of Fuji Negative's current data

Me too.

As to the way I would meter...

I usually meter similar to what Larry suggests.
- Set desire ISO, probably 400
- Set for spot meter, manual mode
- Set desire A for the desire DOF
- meter the object with the green button
But instead of chimping, try to use zone system :)

Re: OT 25 year old TX - exposed need to develop suggestions?

Ann,

IMHO, scanning by yourself is the best way.  However, it will be
tedious because you will have to adjust the curve probably
individually.

If you and your friend are adventurous, would you like to send a roll
for me to try?

I have Rodinal, and HC-110.  I also have an old scanner. ;)

Miserere,

Very good point to bring up.   The 285HV is safe.  I have 2 of them
and use them regularly on my DL, and my Pany G1.

The 283, so I heard, is not safe.

Re: OT - Polaroid again?

I thought that the Fuji FP stuffs works for the SX-70, no?

I still have the 545i holder, and some of the 52 type sheets.I

The funny thing is, at $3.00 a shot, now it seems that I'll try a shot
with a digital before I commit with a Polaroid shot.  :)

PESO - The Last Day

[Pasvorn Boonmark]

Hi All,

A couple of weeks ago my wife had a surgery.
We got this tulips from a friend.

After a week, while I am having morning coffee, I noticed that they
looked different.
I actually  like the look of them better than when they were fresh.

As it turned out, we wife threw them out that evening.  Hence, its
name "The Last Day".

I even attempt to write a poem too. LOL.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbhome/3422346001/

Enjoy,  thanks in advance for looking, comments, and critiques.

But I am sure it is your talent and not the lens.  As my friend said once:

Re: GESO - 3 Tulip macros

Bruce,

These are nice.

Macro is something that I have not tried.  I think it is because of my

I am always amazed by them.

How do you set-up your fill light, from the back?

Tim,

Thanks for the write-up and the pictures.  I went to Bangkok 2 weeks
ago is similar situation.
20+20 hours traveling.  5 days in Bangkok.  I should try to write a
picture blog about it.

Apparently,  Thai's milk tea is also very sweat.  They put lots of
sweeten condensed milk which make it very sweet.  Actually most of the
Thai dishes that we tried were rather sweet.

Ralf,

It is nice to meet another audio recorder.  I have a Zoom H4 which I
really like.

PESO - 2009 Week 5 "On Patrol"

[Pasvorn Boonmark]

I got a new adaptors for a G1 today.  The contraption allows the use
of Pentax lens on the G1.
By the time I got home, it was dark, so I asked my son if he want to
try it out (he likes the DL that I have, but he likes  MX the best.)

Here's one of the picture that we took tonight:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbhome/3250029118/

Panasonic G1 + DMW-MA1 adaptor + Fotodiox PK + SMC-A 50mm f/1.4
1/30 sec, f/1.4, ASA 125 at 45cm

IMHO, the Bokeh on the left side is a little harsh (another LEGO guy.)
I don't remember seeing it like this before.

Thanks for looking,

-Pasvorn

You can try this one.  I'm not sure if it will fit the Bigma, come to
think of it, probably not.

You'll turn into a Cyclops  with one of this lens. :)

Actually this is one of the reason that I bought G1.  I have a couple
of LTM that I can use (Russians mostly.) :)

Re: OT PESO - Empty Subway

[Pasvorn Boonmark]

Adam,

I like this type of pictures.  Very nicely done.

I am new to the term "micro-contrast".   Is sharpening usually done to
compensate for this?

Do you have any reference that I can read about?

Thanks,

Re: GESO: My Attempt to Learn from Godders

[Pasvorn Boonmark]

Walt,

On the "Ribbon and Shoes", I like the concept.  However, the ribbon
lack texture.  It looks like it probably a bright red and some detail
was lost.  I don't know if I can suggest anything here since I think
many sensors can not handle red very well.

I like "Vines on Tree", if you can try again, may be could try with
the leaves also in focus (smaller aperture for deeper DOF.)

Re: PESO At the 24 Hour Diner

[Pasvorn Boonmark]

Christine,

No, not anymore.  I lived there aged ago.   Now, I'm near San Francisco.

There was a small bookstore on Broadway south of Belmont.  Was this the one?
My roommate loved that place.

My favorite place is the Swedish restaurant near Belmont station.
They were always crowded even when it was -10 outside. :)

Your pictures bring back good memories.  I do miss Chicago once in awhile,
especially "lake effected snow"   We don't hear it out here in our forcast. :)

Christine,

This reminds me of my old neighborhood - between Broadway and Clark on
Belmont  :)

Somehow I keep looking back at the lady at the counter on the right.
Not sure why, yet.

I like Luiz's idea about crop a little of the left out.

Thanks for sharing.
