Re: PESO - Big Kiss
Well, I must disagree with Paul and Ann. In photography, we are challenged in reducing 3 dimensions into 2. Johnson does the opposite, taking a two-dimensional image and translating it into three. This involves imagining everything on the side of the subject we cannot see, and making it all balance and work. His skill at doing this is especially apparent in his smaller pieces, and especially those displayed indoors at the Grounds for Sculpture. Go have a look before you dismiss it as kitsch. The guy has something to say, and does it with imagination, whimsy, and astonishing craftsmanship.

Sorry, Dan and Rick As it turns out - I have seen some of his work in person - I just didn't know they were his - that is, I never learned his name, or forgot it. I just did a google search on him and saw a lot of images of his work and no matter what you call it I simply don't like it at all.

Re: PESO - Big Kiss
Ann, It was a different time and place. The photo captured the exuberant reaction to victory over Japan. Almost everyone forgives the sailor. I spent 2-3 hours waiting at the sculpture in San Diego. Plenty of the older adults tried to recreate the pose. It was fun. Even a tour group of Japanese teens tried recreating the pose, when the chaperones weren't looking! Everyone gets the pose wrong. The woman is completely off balance, supported by the sailor with her arm just dangling, not returning the gesture. Regards, Bob S.

Re: PESO - A Kiss for Mom
Thanks Paul - I don't think I've shot at an ap smaller than f8 I assume that is f8 as set/indicated on the lens and not the effective aperature as a result of the convertor. I'm interested, as you can see, as I'd like to be able couple the convertor to my 600 and don't want to spend the money if AF won't work with the smaller aperatures of that lens - I already have both the A 1.4XL 2.0XL convertors and that lens becomes handicapped with those convertors on action shots with that lens.

Re: PESO - A Kiss for Mom
The limit was more camera dependent, if the open aperture is close to or below the ev threshold for the AF sensor, auto focus will be problematic. In bright light I've never had the AF 1.7x fail achieve focus with any lens and camera body I've tried it with. It really starts to hunt with the *ist-Ds in dim lighting with any lens with a maximum aperture of f4.0 or slower. I never noticed an issue with it on film bodies, but then again I never had insanely high ISOs to work with with film. The documentation states that it's limited to lenses with a maximum aperture of 2.8 or wider. On 11/9/2014 7:22 PM, Ken Waller wrote: Cute capture Paul.

That's a very striking shot and testimony to how well your technique worked - though composition and timing of the shot are what really make it. I did my first snow crystals with stacked lenses (on a spotmatic, no less, since I mistakenly thought that an electronic camera would not do well in sustained cold.) I did quite few experiments with stacked lenses, usually with extension, in the late 90's for magnifications of 4x to 10x. A good 50mm reverse mounted on the A* 200mm macro worked well for 4x. For 2x in the field these days my preferred solution is a macro lens and 2x teleconverter - keeps infinity focus and can be quite sharp.

Re: PESO - Motherly Kiss
I like it too. One of my all time fave animal photos was taken at Perth Zoo by Ron D'Raine (local paper photographer at the time): http://business.thewest.com.au/catalogues/about-product.jsp?orgID=2724153305002productID=2727144809001 Cheers, Dave On 12/9/06, Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nice one.

Regardless of whether it is captured at a zoo or not, this is a wonderful, intimate moment between mother and child. Well seen and photographed!

Re: PESO - The Kiss, Theriault Style
Playing catch up again on my Paws. I like this one Gianfranco. It may be a bit to contrasty,but it gives it an artsy feel to it. Like the framing and the off angle view. The guys expression says a lot to.:-) Dave I hope Frank won't feel offended... I wanted to submit something for St. Valentine's Day since yesterday but I was unable to find the picture I had in mind so I eventually leaned to this other, older one: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3119635 Ciao, Gianfranco
Re: PESO - The Kiss, Theriault Style
SJ I've never seen Frank kiss, but it looks feasible... ;-) Do you mean It or Frank ? Certainly, with the bunny ears on the GFM photos Frank was just *lovely* ;-) Good light! fra

This one was taken with a Kiev 4am in early 1995 or late 1994, not sure about it (I only had a working print available to scan, no intention to dig in my archives...) Comments are always appreciated. Ciao, Gianfranco PS: I know, it's too contrasty. I guess I did like it that way when I first printed it. One day or another I should print it better... _ __ Do you Yahoo!?

No, I'd say humbled, because I wish I could take 'em like that! vbg Now ~there's~ a shot with real emotion! I love the unusual body positions, and the apparent disinterest of the fellow lower right. Oh yeah, the legs and bench in the background are about perfect. I don't find it too contrasty, if only because it works (for me) due to their black clothes. Great pic!!

PESO: A Kiss for St. Valentine's Day
Gianfranco's post of a Valentine's Day Kiss of a few minutes ago makes me think that this is a good idea. So, I'll do it, too. I initially posted this almost a year ago, but I did mention it the other day in another thread, so my apologies to those who saw it there, or are still bored of it from last March. But, really, of all the photos I've taken, it remains one of my favourites, and is most appropriate for this day. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2188556size=lg I think everyone else who has a kiss pic should post, too. cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
