Re: PESO Gold in that there dome

[John]

I think Georgia's Capitol Dome is actual gold leaf.

North Carolina's is copper. They had to replace part of it several years
ago  it took a long time for the new part to weather to the same shade
of green as the old part.

We're cutting up the state capital dome
to help pay off our pension debts.

Alas they are back at work soon, trying to fix their scew-ups from last 
year. The gold however is real (gold leaf) and is replaced every 30-40 
years.

Thanks for saying that, Dan.

By the way Illinois readers might notice it closely resembles their 
capital building as they had the same architect,shared building 
materials and were built at the same time.(see what you learn on the 
tour). I don't know about New Jersey.

It's probably true that the more prolific posters here _may_ fall into 
that category but my personal impression (influenced, of course, by me

that we have a fairly broad range of oeuvres within the list and that 
range is reasonably fairly represented.  There are ones that cannot be, 
of course.


I'm equally not sure whether the enchantment with art that looks on the

 Let's not let this happen. One of the strengths of the PDML over its history
 is an acceptance of whatever each photographer is trying to do, and I hope
 we don't go the way of too many clubs and communities, where all the
 photographs end up looking the same.

 Even if we don't care for a style or school of photography, it is required
 of us all to respect the other photographers and judge each submitted image
 in its own context. I don't care if Eggleston himself tosses us a link and
 you hate everything he does; you comment on whether that particular image
 works or doesn't work, if you care to comment at all, with the care and
 courtesy you expect when you post your own photos.

 At the same time, I will, and I will expect others to do the same, fight
 unto death for your right to follow whatever photographic trail you wish to
 tread. I know I said earlier that Eggleston's work touches me more than
 flower photos do. That doesn't mean I don't like flower photos; I always
 enjoy a good one. I'm just at a point in my viewing life that interesting
 holds my interest a bit more.

 If you love flower/cat/puppy/sunset photography, then by golly do it, and do
 it as well as you can, and push yourself to do it even better. Be proud of
 what you do, and as you grow we will all applaud you. Whatever your subject,
 do it to the best of your abilities.

 But remember as well that there are photographers on the list who do shoot
 other things, in other styles, and they deserve the same encouragement, the
 same respect. The fact that most of us shoot with Pentax doesn't mean we all
 have the same subjects or methods for expressing/describing those subjects.

 I'm not saying you can't have your preferences or your opinions. You
 certainly can. But let's not let the volume of your bias drown out the other
 voices.

 Bruce, that's a heck of a photo. I've always admired your light sense.

F#*cking right, Doug!!

Very well said.

Hi Doug,

I get the feeling there are unusually more silent appreciators than 
commentors on this list than most web forums. For me, I tend not to 
comment unless it's more than I like, but I do enjoy looking at PDML 
GESOs and PESOs than a typical trawl through the morass that is Flickr.


I like your new posterous

(and I always like Bruce's light sense)

I like it Bruce but looking at it critically on my colour balanced
screen I can't help thinking that the overall image brightness hasn't
been forsaken to preserve the yellow in the flower? Careful tuning
with curves could possibly provide a better light balance between the
background and the blossom.

submitted image in its own context. I don't care if Eggleston himself 
tosses us a link and you hate everything he does; you comment on whether 
that particular image works or doesn't work, if you care to comment at 
all, with the care and courtesy you expect when you post your own photos.


At the same time, I will, and I will expect others to do the same, fight 
unto death for your right to follow whatever photographic trail you wish 
to tread. I know I said earlier that Eggleston's work touches me more 
than flower photos do. That doesn't mean I don't like flower photos; I 
always enjoy a good one. I'm just at a point in my viewing life that 
interesting holds my interest a bit more.


If you love flower/cat/puppy/sunset photography, then by golly do it, 
and do it as well as you can, and push yourself to do it even better. Be 
proud of what you do, and as you grow we will all applaud you. Whatever 
your subject, do it to the best of your abilities.


But remember as well that there are photographers on the list who do 
shoot other things, in other styles, and they deserve the same 
encouragement, the same respect. The fact that most of us shoot with 
Pentax doesn't mean we all have the same subjects or methods for 
expressing/describing those subjects.


I'm not saying you can't have your preferences or your opinions. You 
certainly can. But let's not let the volume of your bias drown out the 
other voices.


Bruce, that's a heck of a photo. I've always admired your light sense.

RE: PESO - Gold

From: Bruce Dayton

Probably great foolishness on my part to submit a PESO amidst all
this discussion of good/bad photos and what is art - I'm guessing
that some will like and some will dislike this...but what the heck.
I have a thick skin - at least in some places...



Pentax K20D, Sigma 100-300/4 EX @ 300mm
ISO 100, 1/250 sec @ f/8

http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkdphoto_00384.htm


If I were making the image, I think I'd want:

fill on that one flower down in the shadow under the poppy (do I 
correctly recognize it is a poppy?);


a tiny bit more DoF to smooth the transition into the background;

and I'd try to do something about that one OOF stem that appears in the 
foreground.

[Christine Aguila]

Hear, Hear, Doug.  When I was looking for camera clubs in the area, I found 
some that suffer from what Doug DOESN'T WANT US TO BECOME--and I don't want 
to PDML to become that either.  We should continue to be what we have 
been--a diverse group of photographers honing our skills and nurturing our 
individual photographic visions of choice.  PDML is savvy, skilled, and 
smart enough to critique a broad range of photographic genres.  Cheers, 
Christine

I'm clearly in the less popular, experimental camp, and from where I'm

Let's not let this happen. One of the strengths of the PDML over its

RE: PESO- Gold

[John Coyle]

When I was in banking in the UK, written contracts had to have affixed a
revenue stamp based on the value of the contract, which we bought from the
local Post Office.  A favourite trick on new junior clerks was to send them
to the P O for a 'stamp on a verbal agreement'.  We had a deal with the
clerks there that when our junior appeared and asked for one, the clerk
would search through his/her till, shake their head regretfully and say,
Sorry, we're out of those, you'll have to go to Mile End post office.
That, of course, was when the now concerned junior came back to the bank to
ask for fares to get to the post office: to the amusement of the assembled
staff, who would then ask him to what he was going to stick the stamp.  It
was usually then that realisation dawned...

Re: PESO- Gold

I have read good things about that lens. A bit pricey, but if it will replace 3 
other single-focal-length lenses, it's worth it. It looks good in the shot you 
took here.

Re: PESO - Gold Dome Railing

[Bob Sullivan]

Ira,
The geometric pattern of the railing is interesting.
I'm a little confused about the context.
Is this a railing to keep you from falling off of something?
It looks like it casts shadows on a wall right behind it.
I have trouble imagining how this space goes together.

 that this is to cover up the fact that the actual software is just as

 This was taken inside a former bank building in the Asia District of Oklahoma

 Regards,  Bob S.
 

The first floor of the building is a big open area.  There is a balcony-type 
walkway running around this big area on the second floor. The railing keeps you 
from falling off the walkway.  

The shadows that you see don't fall on a wall, they fall on a panel which is 
part of the railing itself.  These panels are the same color as the wall, which 
confuses things. The light pieces of wood are the top and bottom of the panel. 
The art piece in the top left part of the picture is about 8 feet behind the 
railing.

It is very dim inside the building, and I didn't have a tripod.  So what I did 
was set my camera on the ground, peeking through the railing below the panel.  
It does throw off the perspective.  I should probably carry a tripod.

Thank you for your comment.  It really helped me look at the picture in a 
different way.

Ira

Re: PESO: Gold in my backyard

[Paul Stenquist]

No, the A2X-S, like the A2X-L has only the A contacts. Mine has a 
damaged lock pin. The spring has evidently become unattached, so it 
won't lock on the lens. It still works fine as long as I make sure the 
lens is all the way engaged. But I almost dropped my A400 yesterday, 
when it spun off the converter. Luckily, I caught it with my other hand 
about halfway to the floor. Close call. I think I'll take the converter 
to my local repair guy and see if he can fix it. They used to be quite 
expensive. It has seven elements, so it's a rather sophisticated optic.

and cropped. The feeder this shaded by a tree. Not a lot of light. I 
needed 800 just to get 1/90th shutter. Since I'm using the A2XS 
converter, the working stop is f11 wide open on my A 400 5.6.

 You may recall I put up a trap focus frozen finch image several
 months back. Same shape feeder used, but made of screen wire rather
 than what appears to be plastic. Thistle seeds pulled through the
 screen at a surprising rate. Have counted up to 10 finches on the
 feeder at the same time.
 Interesting pose. Soft somewhat grainy texture..a matter of style.

 A friend gave me a goldfinch feeder and a bag of thistle seed. The
 feeder requires the birds to eat hanging upside down. Apparently,
 goldfinches are among the few species that can do this. After a few
 weeks, I now have a flock of goldfinches that visits on a regular
 basis. They're very small and easily spooked. They don't seem to
 alight
 on branches near the feeder, so natural shots are not likely. So
 today I set up the *istD with the A400/5.6 and the A2XS converter. I
 attached a remote shutter release, so I could shoot down to 1/90th or

 so. I think this was at 5.6 @ 1/90th, ISO 400. It's cropped to about
 half the frame. On the tripod of course.
