Unsubscribe quick. These guys talk about  tea/coffee, beer, bicycles, 
motorcycles, and cars. And they crack bad puns all  the time. (Unless things 
have 
changed.)

Oh, occasionally, in between  these topics and the standard gear talk, they 
MAY talk about photography, but I  wouldn't count on it.

HTH, Marnie (aka Doe)

Re: 20th Anniversary PUG is Up!

[Eactivist]

It's acted fine with my eactivist aol account  before. It is what I used 
for years with PDML.

It may have something to  do with the fact I haven't used that email 
account, period, for years. Maybe AOL  isn't used to it anymore. ;-) Anyway, I 
would tend to blame AOL first, before I  look for other problems.

It  may be something like what I get when I post from my Yahoo account.
For some  reason, Yahoo doesn't send it back so that I can see if it made
it through to  the list, soI don't see the post coming back from the  
server.

Fortunately, I have this other account that does receive those  posts.

Re: 20th Anniversary PUG is Up!

[Eactivist]

My mail does not seem to be showing up on the  list, despite my initial 
test, but after my flip comment to Ann I decided  to add this.

I liked Shel. I like characters, and Shel was a definite  character. He was 
also a d fine photographer. On the whole, I enjoyed him.  Until our 
last photo outing together when his grumpiness outweighed his  enjoyment in 
doing photography that particular day (his legs were bothering  him). 

It didn't hurt that he unabashedly liked my photos. Called them  painterly.

So the PUG picture is a tickle in the ribs to Shel (re  portraits), and a 
remembrance. I don't know if he is still alive. Last I heard,  quite sometime 
ago, he had a physical problem with his legs, had given up  photography 
again, and was becoming a "foodie." (I do not remember the physical  problem, 
but it was not unserious.)

His leg problem is why in later years  he mainly took pictures inside:  a 
chair, a dish of soap, etc. (still good  pictures). But before that, and in 
earlier years he had been a very good street  photographer. 

So I asked him to go to SF with me one time show me how he  did street 
photography. One of our earlier trips (I think we got together, the  two of us, 
3-4 times).

There was a flower vendor. An obvious shot, a  person surrounded by all 
those colorful flowers. So he went up and started  talking to her. (He may have 
first asked if he could take her picture, and she  said no. I don't 
remember.) He talks to her more and is taking her picture all  the time, with 
the 
camera at his waist (he did not need to look through the  viewfinder. I think 
a few others on this list could/can do that too). Finally,  she says, 
"You're not taking my picture are you?" And he said something like,  "No, I 
wouldn't do that." All the time taking her picture.

As we walked  away, I said something like, "That seems a bit underhanded." 
(or sneaky or  whatever I said). And he said, "That's how you do street  
photography."

Well, it makes a good story anyway, and it pretty much went  just like that 
(as far as I can recall). 

He recommended talking to  people to establish a connection with them, to 
relax them, and  sometimes they might consent to a photograph, and sometimes 
they might not.

Several weeks ago I  asked here about whether I should get a K3 or move

I stayed with Pentax, and got the K3. I installed a KatzEye screen  in
mine, because I wanted to use some manual lenses, like the K25/3.5  and
K30/2.8

I love this camera! I am amazed at the quality of these  files. The
autofocus is finally fast enough for me--I didn't think the old  screw
AF technology would ever be any good, but this actually works  well.
The whole camera seems quite a bit faster than the K5. And  frankly,
after seeing the quality I'm getting, I don't think I'll be using  the
K5 or the K-01 much anymore.

It isn't many yet, and you can't  really see the sharpness on a web
image, but here are the K3 photos I have  posted to my blog so far:

Can't wait  to see where Ricoh takes Pentax DSLRs in the future. This

Re: Save me from my desire...

[Eactivist]

Someone had to play devil's advocate (re save  money vs spend it on camera 
equipment). I mean considering the group we are in,  enablement city, 
someone had to.

 Perish the thought.


Bob's a Big Boy!  He can make up his own mind how to spend his money.

At what point in life  does it make sense to stop deferring gratification
 live a little? A big  savings account ain't gonna' help him when he's 
dead.

Can't take it with  him, and even if he could, it'd probably burn.

Re: March PUG -'Transport' is now up

[Eactivist]

Ditto. Really nice, Ann.

Plus Steam Power  by David Howard and Bus by Mathew Hunt. I, personally, 
would not want to ride on  that bus. 

Mine was a piffle, the only thing I had shot with the Pentax-5  that even 
vaguely qualified as transport. But had to submit again now I have  Pentax 
equipment again. Sort of have Pentax equipment again, that  is.

Re: Definition of pinup?

[Eactivist]

Basically a pin up is something that appeals to  the male part of the 
population. :-)

Original pin-up girls usually wore  skimpy clothes, like short shorts, but 
were clothed. Cars or sans cars. A lot of  those old calendars that were 
pinned up were put out by car companies.

Re: PESO - Feeling Blue

Thanks, Jack. That's sort of why I like it  too.

They were actually quite transparent, just sort of white. There was  a 
light underneath directed up. As I was taking pictures a kid came along and  
turned the light out (I didn't realize one could do that). Then you could 
barely  see them -- which was kind of cool.

 Marnie,

 You mean the  X-E2? There is an X-M1 (not X-M2) but it doesn't have a  
viewfinder.

 The guts of the X-E2 and X-T1 are very similar: Same  sensor and image
 processing engine, and probably same AF algorithms (at  least once they
 release new firmware for the X-E2). The EVF on the X-T1  is larger and
 has a faster refresh rate than that of the X-E2, but I own  the X-E2
 and think it has a very nice EVF, so it's not like you'd be  slumming.

 As far as external controls go, the X-E2 lacks an ISO  wheel, and Drive
 and Meter Mode levers. It also has fewer customisable  buttons, but
 that could change with a firmware upgrade, which Fuji seem  fond of.

 Lastly, the X-E2 is $300 cheaper than the  X-T1.

 I'm interested in the X-T1 because it's going to handle  larger lenses
 better and, most importantly, because it has a  flip-screen, which the
 X-E2 doesn't. A slightly larger EVF will be a  nice bonus, but is not a
 deciding factor for me.

 Are you  interested in a gently used X-E2? ;-)

Heh. I thought saw a X-M2 at CES. No longer  sure, maybe it was the X-T1. 
Or the X-E2. Whatever it was, it was brand, brand  new. 

MarnieHuh, probably not. I have conflicting  desires to dump my Canon  
equipment and get the K-3 or a Fujifilm or  something similar that is 
smaller. But the Fujifilm is probably at the top of  that list. However, I 
probably won't do it anytime soon. I love my Canon glass,  but it is HEAVY. One 
lens in particular makes me want to switch every time I use  it. But the 
equivalent Pentax lenses (which are smaller) are around $1,000 each.  Ouch, 
pricey. I am still sort of the opinion that *my* perfect camera hasn't  been

I ended up doing a  long exposure, catching it for a short time with the

Re: OT - Re: Yo Cotty, check the new Fuji out!

I am interested in the X-M2, not sure of the  differences between it and 
this one. (It has a viewfinder also, saw it at  CES).

  Also it still leaves me  wondering what a partial bar would be. 
  

Mixed drinks ie, cocktails, are the marker of a full  bar.

Otherwise you have Beer and Wine - which I guess must be the  partial bar.

Re: OT - Slide scanner advice

[Eactivist]

I have an older Epson flatbed scanner and it did  a good job on slides. I 
was quite happy with it. I still have it, but it's  packed up now and offhand 
I don't know the model number.

The only problem  I had was dust. That's a problem with all scanners, I 
guess. With a flatbed,  more. I was diligent with a micro fiber cloth and that 
solved a lot of the  problems. Software can solve a lot of the rest. It came 
with  VuScan.

Re: PESO - Looking at the big world

Marnie,

I agree, probably, if the  top of the windows were present, it would
have been better. The optimization  of framing was done for the main 
subject.

I have not seen a kid with  matching feet yet. One is always left, and
the other one is right.
As for  the socks, until the age of about 2 years, he socks had always
been  different. (That's how the pairs were formed after new socks were
purchased.)  At some point she saw how a new pair came, or maybe she
noticed her parents'  socks... but ever since she refused to wear
different socks.

And if  you don't know this fun shop, - you might have some  fun:
http://littlemissmatched.com/catalog/sock-shop/top-sellers
They sell  some socks not by pairs, but by triples.
Unfortunately, - not for the little  kids.

PESO: Only In Vegas II

Okay, ann will come along and tell me they have  Denny's like this on the

this is the only Denny's  I've ever seen with a bar. And a FULL bar, 
nonetheless. ;-)

It is  normally a very prosaic restaurant, and serves breakfast all day. So

Now, please excuse me if I were to spoil your finding by telling  that
there are other (very few though) Denny's restaurants that feature 
a  [full] bar. E.g.:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/dennys-ontario-3 (Ontario,  CA[lifornia])
http://www.yelp.com/biz/dennys-everett-3 (Evertt,  WA)
http://www.yelp.com/biz/dennys-bellevue-2 (Bellevue, WA)

From what  I can tell most of them [all?] are in the Western States,
not in the puritan  South or even East.

However, - the one you found is unique in a different  way:
it has a wedding chapel! (only in Vegas!) :-)
.. and it is a very new  one, - just over 1 year  old:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/10/dennys-wedding_n_2260363.html

But  your photo is much more interesting than the one in Huffinton  Post.

Hello Igor, I think the removal of the  video camera makes a lot of 
difference in the meaning of the photo (e.g. how  it is read by viewers). 
Without the camera, the picture looks like shot in  the wild, in actual 
action. On the contrary, with another camera within the  frame, the whole 
situation looks like (badly) staged or at least taken in  a crowd of 
photojournalists. The picture can be substantially the same, but  the 
effect

Re: Another PJ in trouble for Photoshopping

[Eactivist]

Of course it is. Photographs aren't reality. 

Cell phones and the fact everyone has cell phones with cameras now,  have 
turned up quite a few police abuses in the news. Bystanders take pictures.  
With so MANY images out there now, a photojournalist is really taking a crazy 
 risk altering a picture. 

Photographers know how much reality can be  altered just by what they 
decide to include in the frame, even without  Photoshopping, but that isn't 
really the issue.

EVERYONE knows about  Photoshopping, we are all subjected to craftily 
photographed ads all the time.  News agencies SHOULD have different standards, 
if 
they didn't, propaganda would  be too darn easy.

People need to trust they aren't being DELIBERATELY  lied to. Or forget new 
agencies altogether and just assume/admit they are  propaganda machines 
like any other Madison Ave ad company.

Re: What is a Photograph?

[Eactivist]

Go you one better -- What is reality?

My definition:  a  photograph is art and/or documentary or somewhere in 
between. (Thinking of the  Photojournalism thread.)

Physical objects are easy. A chair is a chair. A  photo of a chair is a 
photo of a chair. 

But what is a war/a protest march/an airplane crash/a massive flood/a  
political meeting? And what are photographs of those events? 

It all  becomes subjective rather quickly.

Marnie aka Doe ;-)  I've never  been able to come up with a good definition 
for reality, myself.

 Your going to have to define what  you consider reality to be, Marnie.

 The subject of a photo is  real. (I'm talking about a traditional 
photograph taken by a camera/lens onto  a light-sensitive surface)

 The photo itself is most certainly  real. Even if it has been manipulated 
or altered, it most certainly is a real,  existing thing.

 Perhaps what you meant is that a photo is not  always (or even ever) a 
completely accurate portrayal of the subject? That  certainly isn't the same 
as saying photos aren't reality, because they  are.

 It's fidelity to the photographed subject/event that's at  issue.

 It's snowing and quite beautiful out. I'm going to go  take photos now. 
They will be a representation/portrayal of reality, I assure  you.

  Photographers know how much reality can be  altered just by what  they

 isn't
 really the  issue.

 EVERYONE knows about  Photoshopping, we are  all subjected to craftily

 they  didn't, propaganda would  be too darn easy.

 People  need to trust they aren't being DELIBERATELY  lied to. Or  forget

I'm  just starting to get my photos from my trip to London sorted out.
I did a lot  of experimenting with long exposures and/or multiple
exposures (some  in-camera and some in Photoshop), both with and
without HDR processes. I'm  trying to work time into my photographs
rather than capture a decisive  moment like HCB.

This first shot was one that I planned for and which  turned out even
better than I'd hoped. I set up in a tube station with the  intention
of combining multiple show-shutter-speed shots of the people on  the
platform with a train coming into the station. Lacking a tripod,  I
braced the camera on something solid (I forget exactly what),  zone
focused and waited for people to walk in front of the camera and for  a
train to arrive. Unusually and unfortunately there were few  people
coming through the station at that time but I did get two shots that  I
thought would work well together. I combined both images in  Photoshop,
converted to BW (which took a lot of fiddling with the color  sliders
to get looking just right) and added some noise. Here's the  result:

kind lens  that I ordered from a guy who makes all kinds of photography 
related works  including some very interesting lenses.

This one is Chevalier landscape  lens and it was made to my custom order 
in a barrel with native Leica mount,  though no rangefinder coupling. The 
focal length is 38 mm.

I am very  happy about the shots I've been getting from  it.
