Thanks Simon. Of the three pictures that I posted from that day, I think this one is my favorite because of the scenery in the background. It's unusual to be able to have a background like this for a bird picture.

Seagull in Flight

Panasonic DMC-G1, Konica 40mm f1.8

This was taken at Pacifica Pier today. There happened to be a person there who was cutting up some fish on the pier and feeding it to the gulls. They were all hovering and flying around hoping to get a piece of the action.

An opportunity like this doesn't happen very often, and it was all over in about 10 minutes. I have some other interesting shots that I might post later.

I like this picture in particular because it shows the grace and beauty of a bird in flight.

Note the lens that I was using... my recently acquired, 20+ years old, vintage, manual focus lens.

hi Dan, this will be my fast, short-tele prime lens. I am envisioning a small, prime-based kit:

14mm f2.5 (native)
20mm f1.8 (native)
40mm f1.8 (Konica Hexanon)

Not sure when I'll be getting the new Lumix 14mm prime, so my 14-45mm kit lens will be used for the time being to cover the 28mm end.

I bought the 40mm in a separate deal from my other recent Konica acquisition. I found a 2nd great deal on a Konica FS-1 35mm slr body with a Hexanon 50mm f1.7 (the legendary one).

Trees at North Lake

Panasonic DMC-G1, Konica 40mm f1.8

The road through the trees is Chain of Lakes Drive that goes from the north side of the GG Park to the south side. The road is narrow and twisty, and tree-lined, so that when you drive on the road, most of the lake is hidden from view.

Scenes from North Lake

Panasonic DMC-G1, Konica Hexanon 40mm f1.8

After reading extensive testimonials about the quality of Konica Hexanon lenses, I decided I had to try it for myself. So I found a pair of highly regarded Hexanons, the 40mm f1.8 and the 50mm f1.7. And incidentally, the 50mm f1.7 came attached to a Konica FS-1 35mm slr film body. The FS-1 is itself a very interesting piece of equipment that I'll discuss next time. Because of the rainy weather, I only had time to use the 40mm, the 50mm and FS-1 body will have to wait their turn sometime in the future.

Konica no longer exists as a camera manufacturer, thus the Konica Hexanon AR mount equipment is no longer made. So if anyone wants to experience the superb Hexanon lenses, one would either have to find a still-working Konica AR-mount body, or one would have to adapt them to the new EVIL cameras like the Micro 4/3 cameras or Sony NEX.

Prices for used Konica gear are very reasonable. For the price I paid for my 40mm, just under $50, it's an incredible bargain for a high quality lens. If you want to read more about this lens, go to this link: A Great Web Site for Konica Gear

I was able to take some test shots at North Lake in Golden Gate Park in between the rain showers. Looking at the results, I am very pleased with the 40mm f1.8. The interesting thing about this lens is that at f1.8, the lens renders scenes with an especially dreamy and unique signature. At wide-open, the lens would be great for portraits because of the "glow", or "veiled flare", or whatever other aberrations appear at f1.8. But once stopped down to the next click on the aperture (f2.8) and smaller, the lens is amazingly sharp. Overall, I would say that this lens has a lot of "character". I really like the way it renders a scene.

I will post some more shots from this session, but for now, here are three images of about the same scene.

I would like to know which picture of the three is your favorite, and please also tell me why.

--Warren

I like the second one. The front left grass balances the composition. We can see the curve of the edge between water and land better too, which seems to add more volume to the overall image. The trees become characters in this shot, it's a family portrait of the plants.

NYC Artist Makes It Big

Talk about making it big!

I was walking to the Lexington Avenue subway station on E. 23rd Street when I looked up and saw this giant work-in-progress. There were actually four men working on this - two each on two platforms.

I had my Tamron "super-zoom" 18-270mm lens on my camera. I racked it to full-out telephoto and started to watch the painters. The 270mm position was just enough to show a small but detailed figure against a large section of the painting.

From a superb workshop I took with Karen Schulman, I knew that in an image like this, gesture is important to keep the photo from looking too static. "Gesture," in that context, could mean a lean of the body, an arm or leg extended, in other words, just about anything that departs from "just standing there."

For this situation, I figured that "gesture" would be in the form of reaching out with the paintbrush. It took about 20 minutes, but sure enough, I got a few shots of two of the guys in a good lean-and-stretch. This one is the one I liked best, as he's putting his whole body into it.

In case you're curious, the... er... I don't know what to call the painting-on-the-side-of-a-building... is for a remake of the 1981 film, Arthur.

I saw this at the airport on my iPhone and didn't want to comment until I could see it on a larger screen. It looked at the airport like the painter was part of the painting. The details are great.

Surrealism Revisited






I started playing with warping effects of some rather bland scenery shots. Philip Hyde said that nature is dramatic enough, that it doesn't need to be dramatized. But I find it fascinating to bend it and create a new world from our own.. with new spaces, new laws, new definition of time... And yet it still resembles our own world...

I wish I could visit these places... lol!!

Thanks for the comments. It was pouring rain and though this umbrella looks alone, it was here only because of its usefulness. Many of the shopping areas here provide umbrellas so when you're walking between stores you don't get soaked. So someone had wandered to the bus stop and kindly 'did not steal' it ;)

On the B&W thing, try creating a B&W layer and apply a blue filter - it will turn the water to very light (but it still preserves, in fact, emphasizes, the little bit of texture in the water) and the shrub goes dark. I tried it on a screen capture of your image, and I thought it really worked well :-)

I did try it in B&W, twice, in-fact. But in the end, I decided that I liked the blue sky reflection on the water to remind myself of what the scene actually looked like that day.

Yes a new toy... I'm still getting to know it, but I like the quality and easy of use. Changes are on the camera versus having to go to menus on the D200 and the quality is better vs the D70. Low light noise is much better at higher ISO compared to both the other cameras. I really struggled between the D700 and the D7000, but everyone indication for my type of shooting was to get the 7000.

To Colour or Not To Colour



I was looking at these this morning, unable to decide which I liked better. There is a connectivity of colours, but the form seems to jump out at me in the monochrome.

Wondering if either of these plays to your tastes more than the other?

Lea, for this particular image, I prefer the color. For example, in the color version, it's easier to make out the detail of the face in the bus where in the b&w version, the face is almost indistinguishable.

both remind of a shot done in the 1950s...the colour especially. the colour is very saturated, the b&w, a bit too contrasty. don't really have a preference.
