Re: GESO - Mallows Bay Park
Nice gallery overall, the first image is particularly striking. IR gives interesting colours, it looks like snow. On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 6:13 AM, Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net wrote: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/mallows-bay-park Something for everyone - color infrared, mono infrared, and straight color shots with the K3. A few technical comments beyond what I wanted to put in my blog: The first shot is color IR because otherwise the leaves of the tree and the overcast sky virtually blend together. The color gives much better tonal separation. I took the second shot in both IR and color (K10D and K3). Invisible in the IR shot but distracting in the color shot is a good bit of dead foliage in the foreground. So instead of getting a nice green frame around the sunken boat there is a distracting green and brown mess of foliage. The IR shot rendered as mono worked best. This was the only loation where I used the Takumar F 70-200 and that was to get frame filling shot of the shipwreck out in the bay. The lens is wickedly sharp and the detail in the old hulk of a boat is interesting at actual pixels since you can see a lot of detail - but a smaller image showing just the wreck out in the water without context is not interesting so it didn't get posted. At the end of the day I could have lived without any lens longer than 70mm. The third shot was probably the most technically challenging in that there was a persistent glare off the wood hull of the sunken boat and the algae around it. I was glad I packed a polarizing filter. With the polarizer and a little post exposure processing things came out OK. Thanks for looking and comments appreciated.

Re: PESO: Willows II
Very nice. I love reflections in general. And this one is particularly good. I might have considered framing just a bit wider at the bottom, so that the large vertical bunch (flock? ;-) ) of the willows would show in the reflection completely. Basically, I would have tried to make the picture almost symmetric with respect to some average reflection plane (probably somewhere in the middle of the photo).

Re: GESO - Mallows Bay Park
Mark, I totally agree with Attila that the first image is the best. And indeed, it looks like snow. It also gives an interesting blueish tone to the road. I like this photo a lot! The green in the background of the 3rd image seems a bit unnatural to me, especially in contrast to the green on the side and that in the 4th image.

Re: GESO - Mallows Bay Park
That's true - moving to the right might have resulting in the fence on that side being compressed...

Re: GESO - Mallows Bay Park
Thanks, Igor! You are right about the green in the 3rd image - it seems to have a little bluish tint and is boosted a bit too much. I played with the sliders to try to get better tonal separation between the algae and the boat hull, since the algae was reflecting the overcast light and appeared pretty gray. I tried pushing up the green to get it to stand apart from the hull, but missed the background in doing that.

Re: PESO - Before the Revolution
Well, I don't know how Marco meant it but I'm seeing waiters or servers standing at the periphery of an event, at the beck and call of rich white folks. They're far enough away that they won't be conspicuous but close enough to immediately serve their masters. The body language is awkward, arms folded behind their back. Even at that it looks like the fellow on the left is tense, arms and hands twisted, like a coiled spring, as if he wants to scream out in anger, demanding respect. Meanwhile the rich folk are oblivious. They take no notice of the staff unless of course they need something. I would think working in such a place is very humiliating no matter what the pay.

Re: PESO - Before the Revolution
I guessed that you may have implied that, but it seemed to be a bit too radical reading of it. So, I was not sure if there were more to it (e.g. a reference to a particular historic event/situation/movie/...). Hence the question. While I appreciate and enjoy the literary abilities of Frank, the photo doesn't look as dramatic or even tense to me. I don't see anything showing the richness. This could've been at a catered family wedding, company party, or even at a Sunday brunch buffet at a restaurant with outdoors seating. While the attendees are more likely to be in the middle class, I don't think that necessarily suggests some sort of disdain. I've seen some people for whom the pose with the hands behind the back like this is a normal relaxed pose that helps avoiding stooping/slouching. But again, Frank's/Marco's spin is also possible, but it would be more convincing with some additional context.

They're far enough away that they won't be conspicuous but close enough to immediately serve their masters. The body language is awkward, arms folded behind their back. Even at that it looks like the fellow on the left is tense, arms and hands twisted, like a coiled spring, as if he wants to scream out in anger, demanding respect. Meanwhile the rich folk are oblivious. They take no notice of the staff unless of course they need something. I would think working in such a place is very humiliating no matter what the pay. If there ever were a revolution I'd expect him to be at the forefront. Of course maybe I have it all wrong but that's what I feel when I look at the title and photo together.

Re: U.S. Forest Service proposes photo permit rules (still video)
I've photographed in Denali N P since 1980, there were bans then on professional photography in the park and only a very limited number of verified professional photographers were able to get a permit to photograph. The permits were for a few days and were highly sought after by the pros. One of the reasons I would stay at Camp Denali when they had a pro photographer during their enlightenment sessions, was that we could wander the road on their specially outfitted bus to our hearts content and not have to rely on the parks buses.

I wouldn't take a workshop with anyone who was not following the rules, any more than I would buy firewood from someone cutting in a National Forest without a permit. If I go onto NFS land and take photos for my personal use, nobody is going to question it before, during, or after.

It strikes me as very odd that an environmentalist like Ansel Adams might be precluded from photographing in Yosemite (if he were alive today) when it was his photographs that helped spur the care and conservation of our National Parks (and in some cases, the creation of NEW parks) by bringing their stunning beauty to the public's consciousness. -- Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs. ~ Alfred Stieglitz -- 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.

Did you intentionally leave out the smiley? :) Well, maybe I was stuck in old memories, back in the day when one could A) find a camera store B) with knowledgable personnel and C) a stock of equipment they could demonstrate and explain to prospective customers. I bought my PZ-1p x 2, MZ-S x 2, and *ist-D (just 1) from Mitch at such a store. Then Pentax/Hoya shut down their retail business and I switched to BH and Adorama. Neither of which I have ever seen in person. stan When I bought my K100D Super (1st DSLR purchase) the clerk familiarized me with what's in the box, mainly to make sure nothing was missing. For the K20D I almost wordlessly exchanged my VISA for the camera. For the K-3 I was buying from a sales guy who I've met socially so we got caught up, chatted about studio shooting, and he wished me all the best.

Pentax has actually given us a lot more than that. Most everyone knows that the Green Button can be set to give you the Program exposure setting while in Manual. But a lot of people still don't know about Hyper Manual. Hit the AE/L button after the green button and now you can change BOTH the aperture and shutter speed (together with only ONE dial) at your chosen ISO.

Re: PESO: Fall color is coming...
Thanks Boris, Jack, Dan, Ciprian, and Bob. It is a peaceful place, particularly now that the summer season is past and the young ones have gone back to school. Jack, I am told there is good fishing to be had on the lake: bass, trout, walleye... Our neighbor puts on a fish-fry once a year or so. Thanks for your comment on the other shot Ciprian and for letting me know that the first doesn't work. Dan, I was trying for mirror-like water, I had it earlier but then waited for the kayakers to get into position and by then the breeze had come up a bit. Bob, one thing to keep in mind about the 645Z: it is a crop sensor, not a full frame. You should wait until they come out with a proper full-size sensor! stan On Sep 24, 2014, at 2:18 PM, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com wrote: Very nice Stan. (#61 too!)
