For realtime adjustments, the Huey would be the way to go, since it's actively checking ambient light and making adjustments to your monitor accordingly. For basic calibration, either device will work wonders for your monitor, and both have easy, intuitive software to accompany the device. It's really easy to calibrate with either of these basic, under $100 devices. Also check your Gamma settings. I forget which platform, Mac or PC, uses what gamma setting by default, but it's a safe plan to set your gamma to the PC standard to enable the most bang for your viewers. Images set for the PC Gamma will appeal to the most viewers. Make sense? How's that for starters? On Jul 9, 2008, at 1:07 PM, Donna Dannen wrote: > Tech help??? Where do I start!!

Why they have to be so different, I'll never know, but if you tweak them for the Mac Gamma, they'll be dark on a PC. And PC images seem "bright" on a a Mac.... Go figure.... I don't know if the calibration would help, but I can loan you my "Huey" calibrator and the software. It plugs into a USB port and changes settings dynamically based on room lighting (it watches the room lighting, and makes adjustments on the fly). Let me know if you want to "borrow it" to try it out before buying. It's not in active use right now... :) Steve -- Steve Parker sparker at parkerpress.com Home of The ParkerPress : http://www.parkerpress.com/ On Jul 9, 2008, at 1:38 PM, Donna Dannen wrote: > Thank you!

Recently I was shooting in the Gunnison area, quickly running out of flash cards. I do not own a laptop (MacBooks are expensive). I have a Lacie external hard drive and took that along, hoping to transfer photos to that from my friends' computer (a PC). I don't know if the problem was being configured for my iMAC, or the fact that she does not have a way to view RAW images, but we could not make the transfer. In fact, we could not even get my 8G thumbdrive to work on her computer. That could have been my ignorance of PC's now that I've been on a MAC for awhile, however I recently had a friend print some photos for me on her Epson. We used the thumbdrive in her PC and the icon for the thumbdrive came right up. My question is portable storage for travel. I know a little bit about the Firelight drives. Also there are a ton of hand holdable external drives out there now.....but I'd like to be able to view the photos. I've looked into the Epson P3000 and the P5000 but wonder if they are worth the price. The P5000 is close in price to some laptops, though not the MacBooks. I have looked at the reconditioned section of the iStore, but I really don't see great deals there. I've also looked at Craigs List, but have never been fast enough to net a sale there, and if I'm going to buy a laptop, I'd want a good one. . . .not a passe one. What is the thought out there? Is the Epson, say, P3000 worth the price? What should I be thinking about? I HOPE to be doing some writing and photography for the National Parks magazine but that will involve travel and the need for storage, but for now that is speculative at this point, so I don't have a hope of a paycheck to buy a laptop with.

They're light, they're small and they don't cost much. just stock up and then compile them all on your main computer when you get home. I would rather purchase a handful of CF cards than spend 800 bucks or more on some portable hard drive storage system. the other thing with media cards, no moving parts. they are less likely to fail compared to hard drive which has many spinning and moving parts. I have had my CF cards go through the laundry (washer and dryer) and come out working just as if nothing happened. I can't imagine doing that to my laptop or something else "electronic".

It's smarter to shoot on 4 4Gb cards than 1 16Gb card. That way, if the card dies, you'd only lose 25% of your images, not 100%. In compressed RAW, my D200 uses about 9Mb/image, for about 250 on an 4Gb card. That's enough for me. Oh yeah, it's almost always cheaper too!!!

It's smarter to shoot on 4 4Gb cards than 1 16Gb card. That way, if the card dies, you'd only lose 25% of your images, not 100%.

Though I think I'm only 1 of 4 or 5 people on this list that actually use film. EEEK! For black and white film, I'm really just tryin about 5 rolls of each brand/type to get a feel for it, how it behaves or reacts to the weird things I do to it. I don't think I'm really consistent as far as timing my developing either. Usually I know what I did as far as exposure and try to time it appropriately. But again, the rolls I've developed have been mostly practice. For B/W I'm doing home processing and doing fine, I have yet to set up the home darkroom and have been busy lately to try and get around to see what others have done regarding darkroom setup. I'm starting to get many of the things I need like paper, chemicals, etc but is a guessing game for me. For color processing I decided I would try the local shops and find one that worked well with me as opposed to how cost effective or skilled they were. If we both seem to talk the same language and they understand me and I understand them, that's important. I took a roll of color film to Mike's Camera on Colorado Blvd and had it processed and I did not like either the results or the way they were with me. I'm not sure if the lab made a mistake and tried to correct or if my Fuji 160C is just behaving normal, all the shots have an awkward hue to them. The next roll went to photo Craft in Boulder and it was a Kodak 160VC and while it is a cool toned film IMO, they seemed to do well. Better than Mike's. Plus they seem to be able to handle 4x5 which interests me. I don't know enough about various photo papers yet, ask me in a year - and we'll see how many print's I've made! As far as inkjet, I gave up trying and I was getting decent results but what bothers me about inkjet is that a picture that I print at home looks great under incandescent or sunlight, looks crappy under florescent lighting or other types of lighting. I switched to Dye Sub printers and get excellent, consistent results w/o that weird green color hidden under black. Cost may be higher, but I print less and on those printers really only stuff people are buying, 8x10 or smaller so I defer any added cost to the client. I'm eager to try a b/w print in a wet darkroom but I'm also nervous about it too. I doubt it'll compare, even one with mistakes I'm likely to cause.

Here's a posting by Dave Cross with many more details for you Wes. Sent to you by Gregg via Google Reader: One file, two exposures via dave cross online by Dave Cross on 7/16/08 In my guest blog over at scottkelby.com I made reference to a situation where I was forced to take a quick shot and used two exposures from Camera Raw to create what I would have liked to get in-camera - if time had permitted. A few people have asked how I did that technique, so here's a relatively quick overview.... 1. After setting the size and resolution in Camera Raw, I exposed for the sky, ignoring what it would do to the wall. I increased the exposure a little, pushed the Recovery slider all the way to try to deal with the areas of the sky that were over-exposed, and played with color temperature, Vibrance and Saturation. 2. After opening the image into Photoshop, I used the Open Recent menu to open the same file again. Since the file was in Raw, it opened again in ACR. This time I exposed for the wall, knowing that it would blow out the sky. I had to increase Exposure and lower Recovery to get the wall to look the way I wanted. Then I opened this 2nd version of the photo. 3. Using the Move tool with the Shift key held down, I dragged the version with the over-exposed sky onto the document with the "good" sky. This created a second layer (and by holding down Shift as I dragged, I'm assured that the 2 layers are perfectly aligned). 4. Since the sky is so overexposed, the first thing I typically try is the Blend If sliders - when this works, it's almost like magic, but some times it doesn't work quite so well and I go with plan b (see below). Double-click on the top layer to open the Layer Styles dialog and use the white slider under the "this layer" slider to drag to the left. This makes all the white areas transparent: in this case it makes the over-exposed sky transparent, letting the "good" sky show through. (I also held down Option/Alt to split the triangle to make a softer transition to the transparent area) 5. There were a few areas that didn't quite look as good as would have liked, so I added a Layer Mask to manually paint (with black) a few edges to hide them and let more of the good sky show through. PLan B. When the blend if sliders don't work very well, I usually use a Channel-based selection to make a layer mask: 1. I choose the channel that has the best contrast between the sky and the wall, in this case the Blue Channel and duplicate it. 2. Then I use the Apply Image command several times to make the sky area whiter and the wall area darker. 3. I make a large selection of all the areas inside the wall and fill with black to create the look of the mask that I wanted (it's still a channel at this point) 4. I Command/Ctrl click on the channel thumbnail to turn it into a selection and on the top layer add a layer mask (in the case I had to Invert the mask to get the desired effect, which was to mask the over-exposed show the layer below shows through) By the way, I could have done this whole thing using Smart Objects from ACR, but that's another tutorial for another time... Hope this helps demonstrate how you can combine 2 (or more) exposure from one Raw file.

I?ve been to recent seminars that touch on this technique, but the steps to it were not detailed. I also found an 11-page description of a how-to on FLICKR. I should see if I can refind the link. It?s being used a lot everywhere, and for landscape photographers, a wonderful technique in difficult lighting situations. HDR, which is close, but a bit different, is all the rage now, as well. -- Donna Evergreen, Colorado From: Gregg Reply-To: Front Range Photo Society Mailing List Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:55:15 -0700 To: Subject: [FRPS] One file, two exposures Wes and I discussed this technic briefly at last night's FRPS social at Casa.

There were a few areas that didn't quite look as good as would have liked, so I added a Layer Mask to manually paint (with black) a few edges to hide them and let more of the good sky show through. PLan B. When the blend if sliders don't work very well, I usually use a Channel-based selection to make a layer mask: 1. I choose the channel that has the best contrast between the sky and the wall, in this case the Blue Channel and duplicate it. 2. Then I use the Apply Image command several times to make the sky area whiter and the wall area darker. 3. I make a large selection of all the areas inside the wall and fill with black to create the look of the mask that I wanted (it's still a channel at this point) 4. I Command/Ctrl click on the channel thumbnail to turn it into a selection and on the top layer add a layer mask (in the case I had to Invert the mask to get the desired effect, which was to mask the over-exposed show the layer below shows through) By the way, I could have done this whole thing using Smart Objects from ACR, but that's another tutorial for another time... Hope this helps demonstrate how you can combine 2 (or more) exposure from one Raw file.

And how these charts work is this: Compose your shot and set your lens focal point, say 12mm. Wide-angle shot. Move to Aperture Priority or manual and choose f/22 (or f/16 if you can get away with it. Some will argue to go the other way and select f/ 32, if possible, but most consumer lenses do not have this small an aperture.) Find the row for your focal point in the charts below, then traverse over that row until you come to your chosen f-stop at the column heading. You'll get a number. That's the distance (in feet) to set your focus point for optimal front to back focus. For example, 12mm at f/22 yields a 1.1 feet focus point. That means I set my camera to focus at 1.1 feet and everything from 1.1ft/2 = 5.5inches to infinite will be in focus. If you don't need that extreme of a distance, then back off to f/11 and set your focus point at 2.1ft (that'll give you 2.1ft/2 about 12inches to infinite in focus. Make sense? These are handy little charts that you can make at various sites around the 'net, or download little applications for your Palm Pilot, smartphone, or laptop and calculate it on the fly. Try these out and let us know your results. greggl On Jul 17, 2008, at 8:41 AM, Gregg Lowrimore wrote: > Oh yeah.

Some are easier to repair than others. It is getting tough to find good repair folks. It might be worth shopping around for a good used shutter to replace it. You can often find a good shutter mounted on an inexpensive lens, especially now. If a cleaning doesn't do it then it might not be worth repair. I have to admit my 4x5s haven't been out in 4-5 years. I should probably check my lenses. It might be fun to actually make some images... --bill Frank Vincent wrote: > Sounds like it needs a good cleaning.

And how these charts work is this: 1. Compose your shot and set your lens focal point, say 12mm. Wide-angle shot. 2. Move to Aperture Priority or manual and choose f/22 (or f/16 if you can get away with it. Some will argue to go the other way and select f/32, if possible, but most consumer lenses do not have this small an aperture.) 3. Find the row for your focal point in the charts below, then traverse over that row until you come to your chosen f-stop at the column heading. You'll get a number. That's the distance (in feet) to set your focus point for optimal front to back focus. 4. For example, 12mm at f/22 yields a 1.1 feet focus point. That means I set my camera to focus at 1.1 feet and everything from 1.1ft/2 = 5.5inches to infinite will be in focus. If you don't need that extreme of a distance, then back off to f/11 and set your focus point at 2.1ft (that'll give you 2.1ft/2 about 12inches to infinite in focus. Make sense? These are handy little charts that you can make at various sites around the 'net, or download little applications for your Palm Pilot, smartphone, or laptop and calculate it on the fly. Try these out and let us know your results. greggl -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So my own deductions have been that zoom lenses compromise sharpness for convenience, the longer the range of zoom's the less sharp a lens will be. I'm actually starting to buy primes for my digital now after seeing how sharp even that old RB was. To that end, this lens isn't an 'L' lens so its build quality is pretty low, focus would probably be slow, and a zoom range that long scares me!

This is probably Kodapak 126 format film (not to be confused with 126 roll film). That is it is 35mm with a single perforation on one edge spaced at one per frame and included a paper backing packaged in a plastic cassette. It was used in consumer cameras (Instamatic). Image size was ~26.5mm square. There should have been pre-exposed frame numbers and film type but the cartridges included a mechanical notch for speed designation so it may not have a film type designation. --bill Steve Parker wrote: > Bill, > > I'm learning something new every day.
