More infrared experimentation, clouds
I don't know if anybody is actually interested in seeing my experimentation as I learn how to use my IR converted camera. If people actually care one way or another, let me know and I'll either continue or stop posting links to sets like this. The clouds a couple of days ago looked quite interesting, so I tried photographing them with the IR camera, both in full spectrum and with the IR filter. Since my filter is a 77mm and the 18-250 on the camera had a 62mm thread, I was just holding it in front of the lens, hence my finger in the lower right corner of a lot of the shots. I was doing some pretty severe bracketing when I took the photos, because the JPEG histograms are for shit when it comes to telling you if you're actually clipping on the sensor. I tried a variety of processing techniques in lightroom on the shots taken with the IR filter. Processing these photos is going to be very situationally dependent. By definition, you are not going to get anything that looks natural. Since I snuck out into the parking lot in the afternoon at work to get these shots, I didn't spend the time I would have liked, experimenting with the polarizer with and without the IR filter for the cloud photos. I suspect the eventually, the ultimate technique would involve multiple shots with both IR only and visible only filters on the camera, and then compositing them in post production. Since I couldn't even play Mark Roberts in a high school play, I'll leave that tricky photoshop shit to others. http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157635169672192/ -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

For less than $10 you could get a step-up ring and keep your finger out of the frame.

Re: Pentax HippoCam: 72MP Medium Format Panorama Camera
Thanks for the comments. My next blog posts will be regarding some of my musings with putting this camera into use: I think it helps to think of this project as being more of a view camera, than a solid-bodied camera. From a design standpoint, the most important thing is that I be able to achieve infinity focus. In practice, I may be using the hyperfocal distance with most of my landscapes (the primary thing I expect to use this camera for). Theoretically, one would hope that one could focus once then not touch the focusing again as one slides the camera across for all 6 or 7 exposures. In practice however, it might be necessary to fine focus between each segment's exposure. Whether live view will be sufficient, or I will need to pop the Olympus Varimagni on the finder for focusing assistance, remains to be seen. Regarding exposure, Fotodiox says to expose each segment letting the camera control the exposure. I'm not sure if that will be good advice or not. Normally one is counselled to lock the exposure across segments of a panorama or exposure differences will occur. So that is one area where I expect a little experimentation to be my final guide. Regardless of the exposure method used, I plan to normally make a series of bracketed exposures for each segment. The main pain is in setting up the shot and the focus, so why not do some auto-bracketing while I'm at each position? In addition to making sure I get the best single exposure, the others could be used to create HDR panoramas if the dynamic range of the scene exceeds that of the camera (and I mean HDR in the most photo-realistic way possible. I normally HATE the dialed to 11 stuff that passes for HDR these days). I also think that this could help in the sharpness department since, in addition to a lot of total pixels you will have LAYERS of a lot of pixels for any sharpening algorithm to work with. I'm not an engineer, but I work with one who is a good friend at work and generous with his advice. I've been mentally going through the build process of this thing in my mind. I've made a decision regarding the sliding tracks that the back plate will move on. You want the back plane to slide smoothly across the entire length of the movement (Goldilocks style: not too tight and not too loose). If I bolt both tracks on, the odds of getting that perfect placement are almost nil (due to manufacturing errors). So I have decided to bolt the bottom track on the backside of the front plate, but the top track will be fine-adjustable and held on by an external clip which can be loosened for adjustment and then tightened again to hold that adjustment. Once correctly adjusted, this should not have to be messed with very often, unless travel jostling or something knocks it out of alignment. I hope to be going to Colorado at least once in the coming month, and I'd love to have the HippoCam ready to take with me and put it to work. I might make a solo trip out when the Aspens turn golden and another one with my wife during her semester Fall Break.

Re: Anybody have any junk PK teleconverters to donate for the HippoCam?
I think I still have a Sologor 2x converter that the lens elements could be taken out of to make a ~25mm extension tube. It was a piece of crap in either configuration.

Re: reviews on the wirecutter.com
The flat plane of focus is an idealized situation, few lenses actually have a rally flat focus plain. Most exhibit some curvature.

BW Film Development app
Mark C's recent Chicago gallery, mostly produced with Tri-X, and his discussions about the brew he used to develop said film, reminded me of a comment I have been meaning to make. For the iOS, and possibly other mobile OS systems? there is an app called Massive Dev Chart Timer. It looks like a compilation of many sources of recommendations for what brew to use for how long with what agitation for whatever type of film. And IIRC a built in timer to time the agitations and total time. And IIRC a way to change entries to your own preferred way of doing things. And a way to make notes on e.g. your experience using HC-110 with Tri-X. If nothing else, it seems like a good start point for someone just coming to film development or who has been away for so long that they don't recall the parameters of a given film/brew combination. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
