Re: PESO - Longhorn Beetle

2015-05-31 Thread Mark C

Thanks, Chris!

I've gotten faster at doing these so it took just under 30 minutes to 
setup the shot and take the 140 images that were combined into the final 
output. The processing of the files in the PC took more time but I would 
set up and task and leave to do something else, returning now and then 
to setup the next one. Converting 140 DNG's to TIFFs and then stacking 
those together takes a good bit of time - but once a process is launched 
it can run unattended, though there are several steps that have to be 
setup and run separately.


As for getting the subject to say still - this reference shot explains that:

Re: PESO - Longhorn Beetle

2015-05-31 Thread Mark C

Thanks, Darren!

Regarding the different approach - the most important thing was that I 
gave up on trying to micro manage the stacking process and doing it 
right n a single pass. For htis I took 5 passes at the subject, caturing 
20-50 images per pass. I combined each pass into an intermediary image 
and then combined those 5 images into the final product. Up till now I 
have been trying to do it all in one pass, often trying for 100+ 
exposures but that seemed to result in lost of redundant images and 
still gaps / banding where I would move the camera a little too far. Its 
easier and (at least in this case) more effective to just do the 
multiple runs. It seems totally obvious now, but getting into this I was 
of a mindset that tightly controlling it all was really important when 
what is actually important is to oversample the heck out of the subject 
and let the stacking software sort it out.

Pictures like this could convince a lot of folks of the value of people 
photos. I enjoyed seeing it on facebook, and I look forward to seeing it 
in the annual next year.

I figure I did something right in it because I received a glowing
comment on it from a professor of art studies at Niagara College.
(That's a real place, right?)

K-3, DA* 55/1.4, f:2.2, 1/100th sec, ISO 100
Light is filtered (sheers) window light, camera-right.

In the more open patches of forest land and along certain waterway paths, I
can see this being a really useful viewpoint for mountain biking
photography. This would interest me for sure. I've also started getting
interested in photography around horses, and you could capture a lot of
atmosphere of the stables and paddocks from above - assuming the thing
doesn't make strange noises and frighten them.

The only real problem I see with it, is it getting prohibited from use just
about everywhere you would like to use it, because you can already see the
headlines of people using it in unsuitable locations or for questionable
purposes!

Re: June PUG - Last Call

2015-05-31 Thread Brian Walters

Hi Ken

Quoting Ken Waller kwal...@peoplepc.com:


Hi Brian,

I submitted an image around 12:15 AM est on May 26th -  'The Lake -  
Lake Superior' for the June Pug and never got an email acknowledging  
receipt. I sent an email to brian...@komkon.org and again never got  
an acknowledgment.


Did you get it?



No - I haven't seen either the submission or your follow up. I've just  
gone into the komkon.org mailbox and they aren't there.


If you want to try submitting again, also send me an email at  
'brian...@westnet.com.au' advising that it's been sent so I can  
contact you if there are further problems.

Wow, that's some extreme macro! So sharp.
So are you going to share the somewhat different approach or just
tease us with it?

 Took a somewhat different approach with this one and it seems to have worked
 out OK. Or maybe the subject is just very photogenic. Be sure to check out
 the lager view for all the detail. Comments welcome!

Nice one Ken. Sharpness on the main subject and a lovely out of focus

Amazing Mark. 2 questions come to mind 1) how long does it take to get
all those images? and 2) how do you keep the specimen to stay in the
same place?
