Postcards : A selection of old postcards.
Many of the captions have been copied directly from the postcards which sometimes contain language that may seen archaic and offensive.
Some cards are photographs (continuous tone) while others are screened (picture made up of lots of little dots). I have generally scanned all at resolutions high enough to reproduce all detail in the originals including the colour screens.

Pixel Peeping 7D and a stamp : Pixel peeping is the practice of examining a digital photograph at the lowest level of detail to determine its quality or lack thereof. Pixel is short for picture element. Digital photographs are composed of various numbers of pixels. Early digital cameras had a few hundred thousand pixels; now most have a few million and some have even more. Usually the pixel count is expressed as the number of pixels across (horizontal) X number of pixels up (vertical). For example, a six million pixel (6 megapixels) camera might be described as 3000 X 2000.
In film days, people who wanted to peer at the detail of photographs in a serious way used a loupe (magnifier) to examine negatives. Everybody knew that most prints had much less detail than was actually found in the negative; something that anyone who has ever ordered enlargements from a print will know. Looking at negatives was a serious business and required skill and patience.
Looking at a digital photograph up close is easy with a decent sized monitor and image editing software.
Now that we can pixel peep we may do so and find that our photographs do not impress up up close. When people look at pixels they are seeing their images as bunches of square blocks, each one a single colour; something like building an image with pieces of lego. It looks fine from a distance but not so great up close. What this implies is that we need to have an idea what things look like up close before we judge; we need to realize that there is no such thing as a diagonal line or a perfect circle in a world of rectangular pixels.
Having much to do and no wish to do it tonight I took some time to do some pixel peeping. I wanted to see how well the Canon EOS 7D digital single lens reflex camera did at reproducing a subject. Some of my 7D pictures have given me pause and lots of people on the internet are expressing (to say it mildly) their concerns about the 7D which is new 18 megapixel camera.
I decided to do my best to test things under favourable circumstances: a good lens (Canon 300mm f2.8 IS), tripod, mirror locked up and timer to allow the camera's vibration to settle down before the picture was taken.
For a target, I taped a stamp from an envelope on some books about 12 feet from the camera. I focused with the centre point using spot auto focus (this is when the camera uses a smaller focus point).
I took a series of RAW shots at ISO's from 100 to 12800. I processed the RAW shots in Adobe Camera Raw 5.6. I used default settings except for adding two thirds of a stop of exposure. I did not use the clarity control.
In Photoshop CS4 I added annotations but did not do any sharpening.
After the tests, I realized I could have picked a better stamp. I wish I had used one with fine engraving: lots of thin lines and tiny text. Maybe I will if I want to do more pixel peeping in the future.
I was impressed with the 7D, especially at lower ISO's. I think it has the potential to take some very good pictures given good lenses and steady hands (especially with longer focal lengths). It has nearly twice the resolution of my other cropped sensor camera, the 40D. Does this mean that it magnifies every bit of camera shake and vibration by almost a factor of two? If it does then it means that it may require faster shutter speeds.
I took the stamp and scanned it at 600 dots per inch on a Canon 8800F scanner. It was obvious that the scanned version had much more detail than the 7D shots. The difference in effective resolution was significant but not enormous (468 pixels acros the stamp on the scanner and 383 for the camera).

Moosonee Hockey 2009 Dec 15th 7D : Hockey at the Moosonee Arena 2009 December 15th.
Note, this was not a regulation game, no goalies and no officials and more than one puck on the ice at a time.
It was my first attempt at shooting hockey with a Canon EOS 7D (700-200mm f2.8 IS lens without IS in use). Shots in this gallery were in camera jpg's. Cropping and standard sharpening in lightroom. Shots taken at either ISO 3200 (1/400-1/500 f2.8) or ISO 6400 (1/500 f4.0). Single focus point with expansion (usually centre point). White balance by expodisc, lights in area do not maintain consistent colour temperature so there is some variation among shots.

Hockey Experiments XI 2008 December 2nd : Men's hockey at the Moosonee Arena 2008 December 2nd.
Technical notes: These images were shot at ISO 3200 f2.8 1/400. Using ISO 3200 results in noisier (grainier) pictures but permits use of a higher shutter speed. Images were cropped and generated in Lightroom. All images taken with Canon 1D MarkIIN and 70-200 IS f2.8 lens. Some images were brightened and a few had colour balance changed. Early images were shot in RAW and later ones as JPGs. This was the first time I had used ISO 3200 much on this camera and results are very noisy. Using JPGs instead of RAW allows for faster shooting and saves space on disk but allows less latitude for post processing.

Hockey Experiments X 2008 November 27 : Men's hockey in Moosonee. Tonight I mostly use ISO 3200 (the digital equivalent of noisy film) to be able to use a bit more speed. The result is that the pictures are noisy (usually shows up as coloured dots in the pictures). However shooting mostly at 1/400 of a second means that some things show up more clearly, e.g. the puck when it is moving.

Hockey Experiments IX 2008 November 20th : Assorted hockey at the Moosonee Arena on 2008 November 20th. All pictures shot with a 300mm lens (no zoom), iso 1600 or 3200, one ice speed of 1/250 to 1/400, no flash, a few shots of spectators. This pictures in this gallery were generated in Lightroom (i.e. quickly). I found working with the fixed focal length lens interesting but ultimately limiting (e.g. I shot from one corner of arena, the 300mm (effective focal length 490mm) could only cover a player from head to toe past the blue line. In the past I shot hockey mostly with a 70-200mm zoom and will probably do that again. The arena seems darker than in the past and I learned that the wattage of the lights had been reduced from 1000w to 750w each.

I have not really used it for prints due to speed issues so I am probably in the market for a good quality print scanner at some point.

Dealing with noise in dark areas : I sometimes end up with posterization in dark areas. How to handle this?
Easiest is to move the black slider to the right in camera raw, this can have undesirable effects in other areas of the picture. Sometimes I apply noise reduction in the dark area only--this seems to work better than blurring which can destroy texture. In camera raw, noise reduction is global so I do this with Neat Image on a separate layer.

Moosonee Action Group Arena Campaign 1983 : In early 1983, Moosonee badly needed a new arena to replace the one that the town had inherited from the former Canadian Forces Station Moosonee. After years of consultations, it appeared that the project was dead due to a lack of funding. A group of local residents set up the Moosonee Action Group to demonstrate support for the arena and to raise funds. This album displays some of the group's publications and activities which ultimately resulted in the Ontario Government providing additional funding which, along with local fund raising, got the arena constructed.

If you want to print out these pictures you can copy them to your computer by moving the mouse over the picture on the right and clicking on save. You can also order prints from smugmug, these are apparently very well done but they do come from the US. Note that many of the pictures in this gallery were taken at high speed in a relatively dark arena without additional lighting as a result of which image quality may suffer.

Joint Fire Training 2006 August : Joint Fire Training exercises held in Moosonee, Ontario involving the fire departments from Attawapiskat, Moose Factory and Moosonee. Many of the pictures shown involve the Ontario Fire Marshal's mobile flashover training unit. The pictures in this gallery are generally large enough for printing -- that means that they may be a bit slow to display, especially as a slide show. If you want to print them, use the "save" option to make sure that you get the larger version of a given picture. For a few pictures, there are two versions, one large and one somewhat smaller posted on this site.
Smugmug sells prints from these pages, be aware that these are priced in American dollars and shipped from the US. I am not in the photo printing business and have nothing to do with this.

Richard Provencher's Pictures : (c) 1967 by Richard L. Provencher & Dennis Eitzen (deceased). All Rights Reserved.

These pictures may be copied for personal 
usage, as long as the copyright is fully indicated. These pictures are 
not for sale, but rather a piece of history to be shared.

Richard (Dick) L. Provencher has taken up Poetry and Prose writing since his stroke in 1999. Because of prayers from family and friends he continues to recover.
He worked for the Ontario Department of Public Welfare from his office in Moosonee in 1967. His responsibilities included administering General Welfare Assistance and Family Benefits to all persons from Moose River Crossing to Winisk on Hudson Bay, including Moose Factory Island. He enjoyed immensely his work with the Cree natives and to this day retains friendship with several families.
Since then he worked as a County Social Services Administrator, then Home for Aged Administrator, in Sarnia Ontario. He and his wife, Esther, moved to Truro, Nova Scotia in 1986 and worked for 14 years with Truro Downtown Services - Tourism, Marketing and Business Development. He can be reached at richardprov1@netscape.net .
Richard is a long time member of the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia. He believes writing is a global adventure, a journey without borders. Richard and his wife, Esther, have four children and five grandchildren. He has many poems and stories in print and online. 
Simply type out his full name on the Google search engine to access a sampling of poems and stories published.
His Poetry Chapbook, "In the Light of Day" is available from www.mercutiopress.com . Also, Port Town Publishing in Superior, Wisconsin, USA will soon publish his Picture Story Book, "And French Fries."
He hopes these pictures will help provide a background of the strength of will, heritage and love of the land depicted by his Native friends. 
And he misses them.
