Peter, that is one inviting photograph. Well done indeed! I did a fair amount of color interiors when I was working professionally and am familiar with the challenges.

[Peter De Smidt]

Thanks, Philip. A friend of mine is selling her house, and so I took some pictures for her. It's a 100 year old house with lot's of small rooms. I probably should've positioned the camera a bit lower in the included shot, writing off the lighting fixture in favor of more floor, and a bit wider lens might've helped. I used my 20mm, which is the widest I have for digital. I took an ambient shot with the exposure based on the window, and then I used bounced flash in various areas to light various parts, compositing the final photo.

Here's another one from the house:

When I was young, a teenager, I used to shove a very old 1 or 2 megapixel digital camera against a small telescope eyepiece and take photos of the moon. This was long before "digiscoping" became a thing. Anyway, it's amazing these days that I can do something similar with a phone and binoculars and get an image of Jupiter and the 4 Galilean moons. I actually rigged up my Nikon D800E and a 300mm w/ 1.4x TC and couldn't get the moons to show up. Too small. Small sensor wins ;).

Maybe I'll grab my 500mm and 2x and try once more just for fun.

Edit: so I got this with my Pentax 67 500mm f/5.6 + Pentax 2x TC + 67->F-mount adapter + Kenko 1.4x TC. Effective 1400mm f/16. Stacked two shots together, one for Jupiter and one for the moons:

Cool. I recently picked up a Takumar 600/4 for my Pentax 67. It's a beast of a lens that I'll only shoot in the proximity of a car most likely. I've only shot a test roll with it so far of nothing interesting.

Nice! I've seen that one in pics, it's massive! I almost bought one at auction many years ago, probably should have, I think it was $400.

The 500mm is good when stopped down a couple stops but really my weak-point for astrophotography is a solid tripod / mount.

I look forward to seeing some shots from the 600!

My daughter is taking a liking to photography. She's doing well with the D50 here, but is eyeing my D600 or something DSLR that can do wifi and low light. She likes the thin DOF you don't get with the phone cameras. Photos don't exist to kids unless they can go on Instagram and/or Google Photos. High school at the end of the summer. My hikes are like death marches to the kids unless this daughter has a camera along, and the other daughter has some friends along to make it a social occasion. A family hike might also be followed by an ice cream or other treat to make the whole outing something nice for everyone.

[Ken Lee]

Well seen, Ken.


Very nice photos Ken!

There are well-known emotions like love, fear, joy, despair - and there are sensations - which are harder to convey in words. They can be subtle and subjective.

Sometimes we sense something in the subject (or our interpretation) and wonder if it will appear in the final print and whether others will appreciate it.

Here's one of those: I dunno if I even like it. I just sensed something, you might say, and decided to experiment and see how things... developed :rolleyes:

[Kevin J. Kolosky]

Interesting. As I often discuss with my clients, we can never really know what someone else is feeling when they describe their emotions (feelings) or their sensations. All we can do is relate by thinking about how we ourselves feel when we feel those same emotions and sensations, and hope that we are close (somewhere in the ballpark) to understanding how that other person is feeling. That is one of the beauties of an expressive language like photography. One can have an emotion, feeling, or sensation, and transmit it not only by language but also another way - by an image - hoping that extra visual communication contributes to understanding.

When I first looked at this image the first thing I thought was why is the mail slot so low on the door? Then I started thinking about what was behind that door. Then I thought - is there a 33, and is there a 35? And then I thought, how is that little shaft of light getting in there?

Maybe not what you wanted to communicate, but that is another beauty of photography. One puts the images out there and people are free to read them anyway they want, and if they do actually read them there is communication.

The worst thing is apathy. You put them out there and nothing happens.

Nice image! Nice tones. Nice seeing.

"Reminds me of the 20's with the flappers, brothels, etc."

:cool:

In North America most of the buildings are fairly new compared to the rest of the world so the older parts of Boston and new England which started in the 1600's have intriguing historical layers of architecture and building materials, visible in small details like doorways, lamp posts, store fronts etc.

People who live in the the "old world" are probably accustomed to these layers but for this gringo it can be exciting: one minute you're seeing something new and high-tech, the next minute you're sensing impressions of a by-gone era.

Ken, Continuing with the discussion from the LF thread, and your "doorway #34," there were actually two themes being explored: intent and emotion. What I see in a number of your images is a distinct "intent," even if the image does not grab me emotionally. You often have prints which show a formal geometric organization, the interplay of light and dark, and above all texture and a precision of shades of grey. While neither of the last two prints you have posted in this thread appeal to me emotionally, I immediately recognize them as your work, and appreciate them as being extremely "photographic," i.e. emphasizing characteristics unique to our medium. Your attraction to displaying nuances of texture remind me of many of the sculptural works at the Naguchi Museum, where much of his work is specifically about texture, rather than form, but is successful precisely because of that.

http://www.kennethleegallery.com/images/forum/Ansel Lake.jpg
Mirror Lake, Mount Watkins
Ansel Adams, 1925


At one end of the spectrum we find the majority of photographers, who search for an outstanding and recognizable subject and attempt to make a competent representation from the best vantage point. I consider much of Ansel Adam's work in this category: fairly objective renditions of extraordinary scenery. When it works, the photograph is like a transparent glass: we gaze through it onto the subject and savor it.


http://www.kennethleegallery.com/images/forum/SiskandKentucky.jpg
Harlan, Kentucky
Aaron Siskand, 1951


At the other end of the spectrum are photographers like Aaron Siskind whose subjects are often unrecognizable and of secondary importance at best. Instead, the elements of design are highlighted to the point where the photo takes on a beauty of it's own, in spite of the subject as it were. When this approach succeeds, we look past the subject and savor the sheer musical play of composition, textures, forms, tones, etc.



http://www.kennethleegallery.com/images/forum/Weston Hollywood.jpg
Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios, Hollywood
Edward Weston, 1939

Personally I admire photographs which function at the intersection of these two approaches, like this one by Edward Weston.

I was unfamiliar with Naguchi's work but looking online I find it a bit sterile at times (but then much of contemporary design is sterile and getting more sterile every day).

I suspect that when our own photos don't work it's often because we've been so taken by one extreme that we overlook the other: the result is that they don't appeal, as you said... "emotionally".

[Tin Can]

Weston's 1939 image of stacked manikins gains meaning in retrospect , or foreshadowing.

Nice--the strong contrast and hard light suits the subject.

Funnel clouds, fortunately, are extremely rare around here--full blown tornados, never, AFAIK. There's not much post-processing on that shot--it really did look like that--but the weather was actually pretty calm. This was about 6pm, after a day of rain.

Actually (puts on pedant hat) the Palouse rolling hills are wind-blown loess that predates the Missoula Floods, drifted over 2 million year old Columbia basalt as thick as 250 feet in places. If you look at satellite images, you can clearly see how prevailing winds out of the SW shaped the hills. When the Floods ripped through during the last Ice Age, the hills were stripped back down to basalt, resulting in the Channeled Scablands, suitable for ranching but you can't grow much on it. Great examples of Scablands around Washtucna, WA (with Palouse Falls nearby), and running north up towards Grand Coulee Dam. Dry Falls is another well-known flood feature (close pedantry).

The west side often gets the scenic love in our state (for obvious reasons), but as you probably noticed, I'm kind of a fanboy for the east side.

Thank you for your helpful critique. Sometimes I post things here when I'm unsure and I'm grateful for forum member feedback.

As with everything we do in photography, there are many ways to make a panel image. Even minor changes in print color, border color and thickness make a difference. Some photos are enhanced when treated as a panel while others are worsened. I'm exploring and playing.

One approach is to mimic the folding screen approach where the dividing lines are minimal and unobtrusive. Another approach uses thicker separations, as though we are looking at the subject through a series of window panes. My guess is that different methods work for different photos.

My mom loves birds - she breeds various exotic parrots and enjoys birdwatching. She visited this past weekend and helped me choose some nice bird feeders for our back deck to go with our hummingbird feeders.

You make an excellent point !

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Drin-zu_by%C5%8Dbu) even the 16th century Tohaku screens measure 156.8 by 356 centimetres (61.7 in × 140.2 in) or around 5 x 12 feet... and the actual work consists of 2 screens !

Until a well-funded patron steps forward with a commission I think I will put this approach aside :rolleyes:

[jp]

I like those Ken, particularly with the white dividers. It's the same scene as a wide photo of course, but the composition changes as you divide it up because I'm looking at a series of compositions instead of one.

Also reminds me of Koichiro Kurita who has exhibited locally and I followed with interest because of him being inspired by Thoreau.
These are probably 8x10 negatives photographed sequentially and contact printed as a group. He's big into the handmade thing but I'm open to various methods of printing.

Perhaps a little bit of bounced fill light on the shadow side, but other than that a very lovely photo. It reminds me a lot of some nudes done by Edward Weston.

You make an excellent point !

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Drin-zu_by%C5%8Dbu) even the 16th century Tohaku screens measure 156.8 by 356 centimetres (61.7 in × 140.2 in) or around 5 x 12 feet... and the actual work consists of 2 screens !

Until a well-funded patron steps forward with a commission I think I will put this approach aside :rolleyes:

Thanks! The real subject of the photo is my late father-in-law's 1935 Royal portable typewriter. The vintage phone, fan and other items are just things I have accumulated over the years that I thought would make the photo a bit more interesting in a period way.

I continue to experiment with long-exposure, color infrared photography done around my neighborhood late at night / early in the morning.

Aside from a few technical issues having to do with the inherent limitations of the camera I've been using (a DIY, full-spectrum converted Samsung NX500), I find the results I'm achieving to be surprisingly promising, including these from my most recent outings:

Panoramic view of Porth Wen Brickworks using Microsoft’s ICE program for images taken with Nikon D50 plus Nikon 85mm f 1.8 AF D lens. EXIF data 1/640s, f6.30
The now disused Victorian brickworks [on the north coast of Anglesey] produced fire bricks to line steel-making furnaces. The substantial remains include a number of buildings and the remains of some of the machinery. The site includes quarries, an incline tramroad to the works, and includes a crushing house, moulding shed, drying sheds, and kilns. The brickmaking operation was supported by storage hoppers, engine house, boiler house, chimneys, warehouse and a quay.
The winding house includes two lateral walls of mortared walls of rubble masonry supporting a square drive shaft and bearings. The remains of the walls are splayed at the bases and roughly 4.5m in length, 0.95m wide up to a height of 3m. The drive shaft supported three wheels each with eight spokes. The larger wheel was a banding-break and the other two were driving wheels for lowering and raising trucks on the incline. A wooden beam with a control mechanism remains in front the drive shaft. A second similar wooden beam lies nearby but is no longer in position.

A color IR photo from my outing earlier today:

https://i.imgur.com/PSN01iu.jpg



DIY modified Samsung NX500 / Cambo Actus / C/Y 18/f4 / Hoya R72 filter

So most of the IR's you have mentioned (in that other post about your jaunts and the law) you use the Actus with the NX500? Just a single image, no stitching?
I was planning to test/buy a shen hao canon adapter to 2x3...
Just asking, since I get a chance to and most of the posts are from veterans and long time LF photographers... if you have time Sir..

[Audii-Dudii]

So most of the IR's you have mentioned (in that other post about your jaunts and the law) you use the Actus with the NX500?

I actually have two "FrankenKamera" outfits that I use regularly besides this one, depending on the photos I intend to take. The first is a modified Toyo VX23D medium-format view camera, which I use with an A7R body and a variety of 35 mm and medium-format lenses when I expect I will need to use tilt and swing movements in addition to rise / fall / shift movements. The other one is a modified Cambo WDS medium-format technical camera, which I also use with an A7R body and the same selection of lenses, which I use when I expect I will need only rear rise / fall / shift movements (i.e., mostly architectural exteriors and urban and suburban street scenes, such as this one).

I'm using the Cambo Actus with the my modified NX500 body for infrared photography mostly because I'm not using it for anything else. This way, I don't have to spend any time swapping bodies back and forth, but can just grab it and head out the door when the mood strikes. That plus the fact that it's the smallest and lightest camera outfit I have available, which comes in handy because all of the IR photos I've posted here have been taken while I'm doing double-duty by also walking my dog.


Just a single image, no stitching?

Well, Yes and No. I generally don't do any stitching, but I do take multiple photos of the same scene -- typically seven of them -- and then blend them in Photoshop by aligning them, turning them into a smart object, and using the median mode. This has the effect of reducing noise (which IR photography generates in abundance because so much of the image data is recorded only in the red channel), as well as smoothing jagged edges and revealing small, textural details.

For the curious, here is a typical (non-infrared) example of a single file image:

https://i.imgur.com/GTpLrSU.jpg

and seven identical files, median-blended into one:

https://i.imgur.com/os3giJM.jpg


I was planning to test/buy a shen hao canon adapter to 2x3...

I'm not sure exactly what adapter you're referring to, but I will warn you that mounting a DSLR on a typical view camera usually doesn't work too well. I started down this path using my mid-'80s vintage Toyo 23G medium-format view camera but quickly discovered it wasn't nearly as stable or rigid as it needed to be to achieve optimal results. I found this was also true using a Toyo 45G and it was only after I bought my N.O.S. Toyo VX23D, which was specifically designed for use with digital backs and short focal length, high-res lenses, that I was able to achieve satisfactory results.


Just asking, since I get a chance to and most of the posts are from veterans and long time LF photographers... if you have time Sir..

Although I've been photographing for more than 40 years now and have more than 25 years of experience using view cameras of all formats, I'm far from an expert about any of this. That said, I'm happy to help when I can, so feel free to ask me any questions you might have! :D

Thank You Sir... very informative, no the adapter is just a common face plate similar to a horseman 120 back and the tube has a mount for EOS.. type.. OK no its very helpful info..Since I am still getting into the hardware slowwwly..

I did not know that.. about using a multiple shots of the same viewpoint worked. I always thought when layering on Photoshop or any photo-editing software would "drown" the image.
But the black and white with the cruisers in it that was film, I keep looking at it.. for reference ideas .. :D

OK thanks again.,.. and I might test a toyo half plate sakai with a tilt-all and hopefully it will be "quiet"... I hope to do 69 and 54.. will post as soon as I can; do the shot and develop them.
:)

[Audii-Dudii]

JG, that's a very interesting look.

As always, thank you for the kind words!

Regarding the colors, they vary widely depending on the sources of light illuminating the scene and, of course, the reddish / pinkish tint is due to the fact that predominately infrared light is being captured.

(Believe it or not, but I actually decreased the saturation of the colors slightly during post-processing!)

Well, it depends on what you're doing and how you're doing it, of course. The technique I'm using originated in the astrophotography world decades ago and works very well for long-exposure digital photography, especially at night, where it's best for inky black shadows to look inky black instead of like a gathering of fireflies.

(Oh, and one benefit of blending files using median mode instead of mean or averaging mode is that it will also eliminate many moving objects from a photo, such as the light trails from airplanes flying overhead and cars or people passing through a scene, plus it will smooth the appearance of clouds and water.)


But the black and white with the cruisers in it that was film, I keep looking at it.. for reference ideas .. :D

Unfortunately, the reciprocity factor that must be applied to long-exposure photos killed any interest I had in photographing at night using film.

But that's just me and more power to you if you can pull it off successfully!

Thanks for the comments fellas.
Maximo, as you can see there weren't many people around. ��

It looks like I had to use a shim or two in order to put the tak on the Mark II. That's just so I can shoot to infinity. That wasn't necessary on the original 5D.
I do have a supertak 24/3.5 that requires quite a few shims on the original. I haven't tried it on the Mark II yet.

Mr. Lee, If I went compact and do a develop as you go in the bathroom i.e. its ephemeral,
hence with 54 and developing using a tank SP 445, I use:

developer
fixer
stop bath/Photo Flo

(Are these three or four items enough to do compact developing?)

I do have the Anchell/Troop film cookbook and darkroom cookbook.
I am jumping into developing.
So I ask is it possible to do a compact bw developing within a constrained clean as you go method and no actual mainstay darkroom.
(Within the aforementioned dev/fix/stopbath/flo) ?

I know I have to read Anchell/Troop but I am just curious.. Also I am trying to read up on using gloves, since I use to get some form of rash break out.
So if I wear gloves, I should be ok.

For filters I understand using yellow/green/red will work if I have to go at sunny 16 (or at any other time of day)
, if I cannot afford the early morning late afternoons sunlight when its less bleached.
And I have to find the polarizer for the half plate I have.

When you get the time..

Hi Max -

You do not need a darkroom - only a darkened room. I used a spare bathroom for many years.

If you want to make things as simple as possible you can use plain water for stop bath or a mild dilution of Citric Acid if you like. See this short article (http://www.kennethleegallery.com/html/tech/index.php#stopbath)

Every time of day has a feeling and many subjects look better in morning and afternoon light. Filters can he helpful but they cannot transform mid-day lighting into something more appealing.

Best wishes,

Ken

Thanks you guys.
This one is using my M9 with a Zeiss 25/2.8. The other a D810 with a Zeiss 21/2.8. There is not much to know. It's digital. I take a picture, look at the histogram and repeat until I'm satisfied with the exposure. I edit the RAW in LR. I click on BW in the color adjustment. I tweak the colors to make my own "colored filter", I adjust the contrast curve to taste and then apply a little toning to the low values. Both are a single exposure with an overcast day helping out with the window brightness.

[Peter De Smidt]

They are very well done, Tuco. The tonalities are spot on.

I'm not use to seeing the pole star that close to the horizon.

And it makes wonder what the Flat Earthers explanation is for that. Those guys have to invent all new math and a new model of the universe to support the concept the Earth is flat. That's a tall order.

[Corran]

I've traveled a lot in this general latitude so I've never had the experience of a vastly different pole position. When I was much farther north (New York, Canada) I was younger and wasn't really looking at the stars ever. It'll be interesting to go north to, say, Seattle one day and see the north star way high in the sky. I shoulda told my wife last year to look, she was in Spokane for a conference (I couldn't afford to come with :().

Corran,

Check out the website of the Pine Mountain Observatory which is run by the University of Oregon. My wife and I were near it one summer night years ago, and the views of the stars with our binoculars were spectacular. I said "near" because we were late heading up to the observatory, but were reluctant to drive all the way there with our headlights on. So we just stopped on the road and broke out the binoculars. The drier air east of the Cascades gives that area great star views.

I am out on the Olympic Peninsula, and there are some dark areas here also, especially in Olympic National Park. The whole Peninsula is very scenic, and Port Townsend is a popular destination. But you will have to put up with our whining if the summer temperature gets near or above 80 degrees. Our summers from July through September are close to what you experience in October. Originally from South Carolina, with a long time in Northern Virginia, I found I adapted immediately to temperatures in the Northwest.

Keith

[Corran]

80 degrees! Haha! My hike up the mountain was near 95 F and high humidity. That humid air makes viewing mostly a bust in the summer here, but winters are a bit clearer. I am lucky that our neighbors mostly keep lights off at night, and on a clear winter night I can typically see Andromeda unaided. I often stay up late and sometimes go out in the cul-de-sac with my high-power binocs and look at stuff for a bit since I can see pretty much 360 degrees, over the treeline anyway.

I enjoyed looking at some of the pics on the Pine Mountain Observatory website. The university I used to work at had one of the largest telescopes in the southeast, and they often had open public events, but it was on campus and not the best for viewing due to light pollution. I will have to look for some observatories to visit next time I go out west.

Pali - nice color, and I like the city scene.

A new (to me) gimmick - LomoKino. I prearranged and directed our friend to walk her dogs. Meanwhile, I had the Lomo set up on a tripod, and I cranked away while she walked by. There were 62 individual images on the film, about half of a 36 exposure roll. I printed the series on 11x14 paper. I was able to get 9 images on the long side, each image about 1 x 2 1/2 inches. I completely cut off the sprocket holes and frame numbers on the right, then cut all the images into singles. I used 45 of those to make a "flip video', about 7 seconds worth. This is a random group in the middle, printed on 8 1/2 x 11 glossy paper.

I'm a little unhappy with the softness of the individual images. But it is a Lomo, with its probable nonexistent quality control. You get what you get.

A bit of work, but fun. I may even do it again, with the appropriate subject.

Nice shot

[jon.oman]

Another nice one!

[Ken Lee]

Thanks so much !

I love old barn doors: so many possible photographs crammed into one location. It's an exciting challenge, much like looking for subjects among the rocks by the shore or along a river.

Nice oak Peter!
Thanks tuco. I was inspired by some protest/pj shots I saw some time ago, taken with a Widelux. I think they were taken in Israel, but I can't remember who the photographer was.

Interestingly different from you Ken!

The wire seems sharp and the leaves seem to rustle.

Fall is coming

Interestingly different from you Ken!

Actually, my first instinct was this one: softer, simpler, a bit more predictable.


http://www.kennethleegallery.com/images/forum/R17.jpg

Then I tried the this one, more stimulating perhaps, or is it clutter ?

You should try that with light snow falling

Winter is coming

I watched a TEDx talk on the desertification of our lands around the world. This guy claimed it is responsible for half the CO2 emission. And he showed how the loss of herd animals in Africa is a cause in that region. Then he demonstrated by using so-called evil cattle to simulate herd animals he was able to restore sections of land.

Driving a car that is say 15% "greener" or living a life style that is 15% greener isn't going to save the planet even if everyone does it. It just makes a person feel better as if they are doing something about it.

Ken, that's cool that you did this high contrast. It reminds me of a duplicating gismo, which often was used in film/s as part of the plot and in a subtle way revealing the character or action that followed. Randy, if you are referring to aging.....well look around, we all are guilty of it.:)
