[SI] Tubes comments Troy Piggins 02:10:04
 Tony Cooper "All Six":
Hehe - very clever :)­

Tony Cooper "Kids With Cone":
Great, fun capture.

Tony Cooper "Ship Cable":
Like it - the cable, the rust, the boats in bg for context. Does
appear a touch too saturated? But maybe that was intentional to
bring out the rust.

Helen:
Lots of interest with the columns and vines. Your eye always has
somewhere to look. And Helen always seems to get great texture
with her B&W's.

Jim Kramer 1 & 2:
Good interpretation.

Jim Kramer 3:
Why didn't I think of that one? I've got a set sitting right
alongside my camera!

Bob Coe 1:
Just came from Bangkok/Thailand - should see some of the messy
cables they have there on streets and intersections. That's
immediately what I thought of when I saw this. Like the lines.

Bob Coe 2:
Interesting patterns. Is it a manhole lid? Looks like a fancy
one. You must be rich :)­

Bob Coe 3:
Cooool - cable suspension bridges <structural engineer drool />
Like the lines etc of the bridge. Find the fg shadows a bit
distracting.

Bob Flint 1:
Find this very appealing and warming. Like it.

Bob Flint 2:
Not as good as the first one. Nice concept and patterns but
difficult exposure conditions for you to shoot in. Maybe a fill
flash would have helped with the fg ones, but would probably drop
off for the rear ones.

Mark Thomas 1:
Cables, discs, it's got it all :)­ Kind of abstract, but not?

Mark Thomas 2:
Like it, but want to know more about the reinforcing fabric in
the fg.

Paul Furman 9865:
Like this one too. Could have used this one for the "wide"
mandate too ;)

Paul Furman 1260:
Yeah - like this one a lot. Good one. What is it?

Russell Durtschi 1:
Lookout sheep, you'll get run over! Like it. Good composition,
leading lines, interest all over the place.

Troy Piggins 1 (self-critique):
Well what do you know. There I was thinking I wouldn't get an
opportunity for this month's SI submission on my honeymoon, and
walking down the concourse of the new Bangkok International
Airport I see this which I thought was pretty cool.
In hindsight and critiquing my own submission, I think that since
I was on the left hand side of the "tube", I should have
composed with the converging point in the distance on the top
right third point instead of top left. As it is I think the shot
is a little weighted to the left of the frame. Next time.

Walter Banks 1:
Good concept - you need a macro lens, my friend ;) Get in nice
and close, flash on...

Tim Conway 1:
Saw the thumbnail of this shot and instantly smiled at the
interpretation, knowing what it was going to be. Love it. Wish
I'd thought of it. Was it yummy for your tummy? :)­

Linux jpg conversion Mike -- Email Ignored 11:57:21
 I have some jpg files about 4000x6000 pixels, 4000/inch.
I would like a Linux program that can convert them to
1200x1800 pixels, 300/inch. I would like to be able
to run this entirely from a bash shell. I would like
excellent quality; speed is not an issue. What software
should I use?

Thanks for your advice.

Re: Is Circular Polarizer Really Necessary for DSLR? HEMI-Powered 00:55:10
 panabiker added these comments in the current discussion du jour
...

While I understand the physics part of why circular PL should
be used whenever a semi-transparent mirror is in the AE/AFpath
of a SLR, I have also been cheating with a linear PL on my new
XTi. Unlike with film cameras, I figured if the meter is
fooled by the filter, I should see that on the LCD immediately
after shot and I could then make the adjustment and re-take
the shot. To my surprise, I rarely had the need to do that, at
least from my visual inspection on the LCD screen. The AF
suffers a bit in low light conditions but that may be also due
to less light entering the lens, and I don't use PL indoors
anyway. So now I wonder if one can get away with linear PL on
DSLR in most situations.
I have a Hoya circular polarizer that I used successfully on my
Rebel XT and new Rebel XSi. Can't say I've seen any AE errors to
speak up, but the larger LCD of the XSi is a big help.

As to your specific question, I suppose you might get two kinds of
responses: one is the theorticians talking about how the polarizers
work and how the AE system in your camera works and the kind I
give, to wit, just try it and adjust your AE 1/3, 1/2 or so stops
when you can tell by experience that it may either under or over
expose. Works well.

Re: manual focus stop Paul Furman 18:31:44
 phil-news-nospam@ipa­l.net wrote:
With my old Nikon film system, and several manual focus lenses, the focus
would stop right at infinity. So if I wanted to take pictures of the night
sky, all I needed to do was rotate to the end and I knew I was in focus for
the sky.
Not so with the kit lens (18-55mm, f/3.5-f/4.5) that came with my Canon 450D.
The point of inifinity focus is just a bit back from where the manual focus
ring stops. It's about 4 or 5 of those grip marks back.

I've only heard of this with big tele's, the justification being that
changes in temperature could prevent reaching infinity if some slack
wasn't designed in.

Worse, it varies by
focal length. E.g. the focus is not consistent across zooming.

I think that's called 'parfocal'???


Now, I don't
really know that non-infinity focus was ever consistent with my Nikon lenses
since I only had 2 zooms, and they operated with a single grip that pushed in
and out to zoom, and rotated to focus. But they worked well for infinity.
I suspect that in a world of autofocus, it is no longer considered important
to make sure the lens design maintains the same focus as zooming happens. The
camera can just refocus after the focal length is changed. I do remember when
I worked in TV and operated a camera, there was some discrepency of focus. We
had to adjust the focus while zooming in. I never had an opportunity to test
those cameras beyond the TV productions we did.
And I can believe that a cheap kit lens would omit consistent focus and even
an infinity stop since it wouldn't really be needed by the average user that
depends on autofocus.
But what about other lenses in the Canon line, and those of other manufacture
targeted for the Canon line? My greatest interest is in the infinity stop.
Would a better grade non-zoom lens have an infinity focus stop when manually
focused?

NO RISK INVESTMENT!!! TURN $6.00 INTO $6,000 OR $60,000...
I DID!!
Please Understand That READING THIS One MESSAGE WILL CHANGE YOUR
LIFE
FOREVER!!
IT HELPED ME To Become Very Wealthy & IT CAN HELP YOU Too!!
This Is NOT A SCAM !!!!
I REPEAT NOT A SCAM!!
It Will Only COST YOU A $6.00 CASH !!
& IT Really Does WORK!!
PLEASE READ ALL Of This Amazing Article!!!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
while
back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,and
came
across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands
of dollars
within weeks with only an initial investment of Only $6.00!
I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us,
I was curious, so I kept reading.
The Article said that you send $1.00 to each
of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place
your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post
the article
in at least 200 newsgroups.(There are thousands)
That was it!!
After thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought
about trying it. I figured: "What have I got to lose except 6 stamps
and $6.00, Right?"
I Then invested the $6.00.
... Well GUESS WHAT!?...* :-)­
... Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was
shocked!
I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In
my
first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had
made a total of
over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's
still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just
over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly
worth
$6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly,
WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this
article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need
it.
I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
will
start making more money than you thought possible by doing something
so
easy!
When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at least 15 people
will respond and send you a $1.00.
($15.00) Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 (15x15=225)
people
send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and
3,375
(225x15=3375) people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200
posts each and 50,625 (3375x15=50625) people send you $1.00
($50,625.00) Those 50,625 post 200 posts each and 759,375
(50625x15=759,375) people send you $1.00 ($759,375) At this point
your
name will drop off the list, but so far you have received around
$800,000. P.S. When your money begins to come in, give the first 10%
to
charity with spirit and share a good fortune!
Suggestions:
*Read this Entire Message Carefully! (print or download it)
*Follow the Simple Directions and watch the $$ Money Come in!
It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not illegal; and
it is 99% no risk to You - Remember ... It really works Too!
If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will
receive
$$$ Extraordinary Dividends.
PLEASE NOTE:
Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in
20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the
honesty
and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by
carefully adhering to the instructions.
Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US
$1.00
bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill
will not be
seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery).
...Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them.
You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper
stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill.
What you
are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are
requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most
of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about
the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post
Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal.
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
1.) Shareef odeh 3629 N. Kiloy Rd. Turlock, CA 95382
2.) Noel V. 1929 Baker St. Bakersfield, CA 93305
3.) Jose Salazar 2901 Grape St. Abilene, Tx 79601
4.) Aimee Tibbs 6889 E. Moulstown Rd, Hanover, PA 17331.
5.) Nick Lioucatis 1722 Aspen Way, Campbell River, British Columbia
Canada, V9W7E5
6.) Jonathan Williams, 16650 Appoline St., Detroit, MI 48235.
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the
other names up 1 place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc...) and
add
YOUR
name and address as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to24,000 groups) All
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make! You
won't get very much unless you post like crazy.
This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these
steps for
yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and
again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
others
have received
will come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send
you.
This
VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be
a
good idea to
wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)

October Shoot-In comments (Tubes, etc.) Robert Coe 17:32:44
 A jumble of my customary blunt, opinionated pronouncements, to be accepted,
disputed, ridiculed, or ignored.

Bob


Tony Cooper All 6
Well, I guess you got them all in there. It does serve as a boffo introduction
to the Shoot-In, even if its artistic value is, er, questionable.

Tony Cooper Kids
Grandchildren, right? They're my favorite subject too. Nice picture: good
colors, good background, very nice use of available light. (Did you use a
reflector?) And the cone from the previous picture doesn't go to waste.

Tony Cooper Cable
This image has little to recommend it but its marvelous colors, which do work
well together. The colors of the davit are puzzling; I assume it's steel
painted yellow and allowed to rust, but that's really just a guess. Whatever
it is, it makes a nice picture.

Helen
It fits the mandate, but it's really not my thing. The columns seem confined,
and the defoliated vines just make the picture look busy. I don't think I'd
have done it in B&W, either.

Jim Kramer 1
This one doesn't cut it for me, partly because prominent elements are out of
focus and partly because I don't care for the way it's cropped. But mostly I
guess I just don't get the point.

Jim Kramer 2
This one looks OK as a thumbnail, but when you expand it, the cracks (or drips
or whatever they are) are distracting. A potentially nice idea that doesn't
quite come off, I think.

Jim Kramer 3
I like this. It's a cute picture; it follows the mandate; and it's well done
technically. The B&W format, which doesn't do much for Kramer's other two
images, shows off to advantage here.

* * * * * * * *

I won't presume to critique my own work, obviously. But since our submitted
captions didn't make it to the show this time, I'll tell you what mine would
have been:

Bob Coe 1
Cables? I'll show you cables. This pole decorates a fairly typical residential
street corner in our bucolic Boston suburb. Newer subdivisions are required to
have all utilities underground, but in older areas a rapidly expanding jumble
darkens the sky. Canon 50D with Sigma 18-50mm lens at 46mm, 1/250 sec at
f/5.6.

Bob Coe 2
A component of Boston's "Big Dig", the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge
claims to be the world's widest cable-stayed bridge. Although a cheaper, more
conventional bridge would have served at least as well, it has become a
beloved landmark. Hemmed in by other bridges, it's difficult to photograph
except from the air. (I thought of renting a helicopter for the Shoot-In, but
that's as far as it got!) Canon 400D with Sigma 18-50mm lens full wide, 1/250
sec at f/8.

Bob Coe 3
The Wayside Inn complex includes a working grist mill built by the auto
magnate Henry Ford, who owned a summer home in Sudbury. Its grounds are
decorated with retired millstones. This one captured the high sunlight best on
the day I drove over to fulfill the Shoot-In mandate. Canon 50D with Sigma
18-50mm lens at 31mm, 1/400 sec at f/5.

* * * * * * * *

Bob Flint 1
This one's a winner: a completely different take on "tubes" and very nicely
presented.

Bob Flint 2
What are these, railroad ties? The steel ends nicely reflect the blue sky and
make a pretty picture. One muddy area in the shadows, but good composition
overall.

Mark Thomas 1
A variant on one of mine, sort of, although Mark found better light than I
did. Those circular insulators give it a "2-fer" on the mandate.

Mark Thomas 2
I feel as though I ought to like this one, but don't particularly. The tangled
rebar and the out-of-focus bus jockey for attention, but neither is very
interesting or attractive.

Paul Furman 9865
I don't get this one at all. I suppose the two stairways fit the mandate in
some approximate way, but the picture is too crowded. The trees on the left
are just plain ugly.

Paul Furman 1260
I couldn't tell you what this is, but it's attractive in a colorful, abstract
way.

Russell Durtschi 1
Good but not great. The irrigation hoses are moderately interesting but not
very attractive, and the sheep are, well, just sheep.

Troy Piggins 1
As usual, Troy demonstrates his technical mastery with an elegant, unusual
image. At first I thought it was a subway station, but I've concluded that
it's probably an airport terminal. In any case, I wonder where it is.
Melbourne? Sydney? Alice Springs? London?

Walter Banks 1
This picture is attractive enough, despite the nearly blown highlights, but it
doesn't really catch my eye. Maybe there's too much going on to provide a
clear center of interest. Someone else will probably like it a lot.

Tim Conway 1
This pasta meal, glutted though it is with starch and saturated fat, fairly
begs you to sit down and polish it off (which I assume Tim did as soon as he
finished clicking the shutter). I don't care for the tight, uneven cropping,
but that's a stylistic preference that I'm sure won't be universally shared.

Bowser 1, 2, 3
Bowser's trusty fisheye never seems to fail him, and he commonly seems to have
one picture that's at least head and shoulders above his other submissions. In
this case it's entirely superfluous to point out which one it is. If this
Shoot-In had a first prize, I think this one gets my vote. Maybe the church
should have it made into a mural and put it up downstairs in the parish hall.
The other two? It was a mistake to include them. They're not bad pictures, but
they can't begin to stand the comparison. If Bowser was bound to submit three,
he should have found two that didn't try to cover the same subject matter.

Alan Browne 1
See next picture.

Alan Browne 2
This is a colorful, well composed picture; but it would be pointless, were it
not displayed next to the antique airplane engine. As it is, it's brilliant.
The two images play off against each other as I guess Bowser hoped his three
would. Displaying these five images together was a masterly choice for the
compositional lessons it provides. Alan, if it wasn't intentional, you don't
have to admit it!

Alan Browne 3
This picture strikes me as truncated and uninteresting. Maybe I'd like it
better if I could see the boat's entire hull.

DPReveiew - Sony a900 Alan Browne 15:37:32
 http://www.dpreview.­com/reviews/sonydslr­a900/

As expected:

Superb sharpness and resolution (providing a sharp lens is used).
Noise performance is not as good as the others from/above ISO 800.
No frills.

What is a bit disappointing is that (per Chris Malcolm) the a700
firmware upgrade which purportedly improves the noise performance
significantly, is not yet available for a900 and hence these tests are
with first production s/w. I hope (for the Dpreview record) that they
repeat the noise tests when that f/w comes out.

Sheckles are loaded. Now just looking for a good deal on the camera...
this should hold me for 5 - 10 years at least.

Cheers,
Alan.

DPI in a photo [WAS: I wonder how Dpreview will handle....] Jrgen Exner 14:32:08

portrait orientation (3872 x 2592) then I get something like 0.3 pixels
per inch. Obviously that is nonsense, but at least it would be about the
'original' size.

One step down the line there is the size of the projected image on the
sensor. Looking at that you got 3872 x 2592 pixel on a 23.6 x 15.8mm
sensor, which amounts to a resolution of approx. 4100 pixel per inch.
Still somewhat 'original', but not a very useful value, either.

And if you are looking at the opposite end of the line then you are far
away from the 'original' and there is an even larger difference in DPI
(or actually pixel per inch, see below) between e.g. a miniature on a
key chain, a 4x6", and a poster size enlargement. Which one is the
correct one for the 'original' DPI?

(whatever Jurgen may say, if you do not know the assigned dpi,
controls like image % scale are useless).

Sorry, I disagree. If a picture is let's say 2048x1536 pixel and you
want to display it full screen on a monitor with a resolution of
1024x768 then you need to shrink that picture by 50%. So while that
image % scale is very useful, there is no DPI value involved here for at
least 3 reasons:

First it's just not needed. To shrink a 2048x1536 image to a 1024x768
screen you don't need the relative DPI but the actual size in pixels of
that photo.

Second you still don't know the physical size of the monitor. Is that an
old 15" or a modern 21" or is the picture being displayed on a 48" LCD
TV? Each of these will have a very different 'DPI' resolution.
Or just imagine the typical presentation setting, where the presenter is
using a laptop (with the typical small screen) and the audience is
watching on a large beamer screen. What DPI setting does the picture
have in that scenario?

And third the calculation above and all you are working with in your
software are pixels, not dots. Pixels and dots are two very different
animals and you really should not confuse them. Wikipedia has a
resonably good explanation, please see
http://en.wikipedia­.org/wiki/Dots_per_i­nch and
http://en.wikipedia­.org/wiki/Pixels_per­_inch


Again, if your software is difficult to use because it actually assigns
meaning to a meaningless value, then just change that value to something
that makes the software easier to use. But please don't blame others for
or make them mitigate the shortcomings of your software.

[SI] Pano/Mosaics comments Troy Piggins 05:35:25
 Bob Flint 1:
Looks like a difficult exposure condition - bright sky/clouds
quite hot, but dark fg gravel etc. Might have been a good case
for a grad neutral density filter, or take 2 exposures and blend
them in post-processing. There is some interest in the shot -
all the towers/poles on the horizon and the train tracks give
lines to follow. The EXIF is intact - is this one shot cropped
down, or multiple shots stitched?

Alan Browne:
Colourful, well exposed and composed. Again, EXIF intact - is
this a PBase or software error, or cropped single shot?

Alan Browne 2:
Now this is what I expect when I think of panos. Great shot.

Mark Thomas is old - oh wait, it's an archive shot :)­ : Great
pano of the best city in the world, Brisbane. Many handsome
fellas live there ;) I remember commenting on this shot some
months ago when you were working on the colour version. Think
the B&W is a good idea - takes out the white balance issue with
coloured lights etc. Plenty to look at in this shot, or should
that be /these shots/. Very appealing.

Bret Douglas 1:
Not sure what to say - technically looks ok. I'm not an IR fan
and don't know much about it - guess exposure rules all the same?
From what I've read, they replace the IR filter over the sensor
with glass? So when you look thru viewfinder, you see colour
version but the camera captures the IR version? The exposure
meter is correct for the IR version, though? Just ask because
where the trees in your shot are so white, but in a "normal"
shot they'd be quite dark leaves etc.

Bret Douglas 2:
Like this one more. Technically good, nice colours, slight lean
right bothers a little, but I'm over that already. Combined
"tubes" mandate and "pano" all in one, clever or accidental? ;)

Bret Douglas 3:
Interesting. I like it.

Troy Piggins 1 self-critique:
I quite liked this one. 19 shots stitched - Full size
pano was 9759x3476. Exposure was tricky with all the white
buildings and the sun in the middle of it. My best pano to date
IMO - might spend some more time tweaking it to hang on wall.
Taken on recent honeymoon in Santorini, Greek Islands.

Troy Piggins 2 self-critique:
Not as happy with this one. 8 shots, full size 4648x2135. Might
spend some more time playing with it to lighten it up a little
and try to get some more colour in the sky etc.

Troy Piggins 3 self-critique:
41 shot mosaic, taken just for the heck of it. Well
over 180 degrees, shot in 2 rows with camera in portrait
orientation. Unfortunately some stitching errors, suspect due to
some of the closer objects and lens distortion effects on those.
Took some 30 mins or more to stitch, and don't think I'll bother
correcting the errors. Not worth it, was more an exercise than
quality photo. Full size mosaic was 10132x3637.

Re: A positive form negative Peter Irwin 03:53:47
 piterengel <pslaviero@interfre­e.it> wrote:
Hi everybody. I need for a certain work to obtain some positives from
negatives. I can't treat all film with positive method, because a part
of photos must remain negatives. I have a Contax Auto PC Bellow with
slide duplicator, and a RTS II camera. Photos are taken using an
Ilford Delta 100 film, developed in ID11. I want to use the same film
for positives. My questions are:

The film to use for making positives on 35mm film is
Eastman 5302 Fine Grain Release Positive. I bought
some from Kodak in Toronto a few years ago for something
like $CAN 17 for a 100 foot roll. Kodak Motion Imaging
will probably still be willing to sell you a roll, it
is also listed for sale at electron microscope suppliers
because it is used by some models of electron microscopes
as well as by the motion picture industry.

The speed of 5302 is somewhere around 3 ASA, but this
depends a bit on development and how much blue and violet
are in the light source. Develop in Dektol 1:1 for 5 minutes.
You can adjust contrast a little by playing around with
different developers. The film looks like white plastic.
It can be handled fairly freely under any safelight for
B&W enlarging paper. You should have no trouble bulk loading
it into 135 cartridges by hand.

Peter.

[SI] - service message - Bowser is new SI admin Alan Browne 02:38:49
 
Since there will soon be a bill to maintain the shootin site, I decided
to bail on the SI before it was due!

I managed to trick Bowser into taking it on <evil cackle here>.

Thanks to everyone who participated over my 3 month sentence. I really
enjoyed it and I have a great appreciation for those who have gone
before me in managing it.

Let's all support Bowser as SI admin.

Cheers,
Alan.
