I'm very impressed by their offering this. I'll wait and see how well it works for other people, and if I have the money, I'll consider it. Stanley Halpin wrote: OK, so I was wrong. Maybe I do need to move on from K-1… Good move by Ricoh. Hopefully Precision is up to the task. stan On Feb

Unfortunately not. The Western Cape is Mediterranean climate (winter rain) so can't really expect rain before mid-April. Alan C -Original Message- From: Brian Walters Sent: 21 February, 2018 11:31 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT: Sable Dam Full Good to hear. Is that

Could be a good deal if the turnaround is quick. I could use my K3 in the interim, but I wouldn’t want to be without the K1 for a month or more. Paul > On Feb 21, 2018, at 7:49 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: > > Bill wrote: > >> This is cool. >> Get your present K1

Re: Your opinion about school (group) photographs

The photographer's contract with the school photo company is almost certainly "work for hire" with the photo company owning the copyrights. That's why there are no examples of the photographer's school photo work on his website. On 2/21/2018 10:20, Igor PDML-StR wrote: HAR! People with

Many thanks to all who replied to this thread. Those replies gave me useful information as well as the spectrum of opinions and views from other people (who know about photography). I was especially thrilled to hear detailed stories from the "insiders", Bill and Doug, who know the situation

That's an interesting story! Thanks a lot for sharing, Bill! A few quick comments: 1. I would have assumed that "our" photo outlet would be using a standardized setting (a conveyor as you described, that removes thinking from the process, but also reduces chances for errors). I am content

Re: Your opinion about school (group) photographs

Igor, I am a survivor of the school photography grind as well as other strains of the volume portrait biz. In schools I was primarily involved in individual sets, but also tasked with group wrangling until I moved into shooting groups as needed. Interestingly, my other duty was to track down

An appealing set of photos, Stan! Excellent travel photography, IMO: Just a little more editing (both small modifications to some of the cropping and maybe drop a couple of the weaker ones) and some copy about the trip, the places, etc, and you have the makings of a lovely small travel book or

Again, going by my experience having my photo taken a dozen times while I was in school, the photographer brought along a stool, a white roll paper backdrop with stands to hold it up, the long roll film camera and one light stand with an umbrella. The light wasn't even a strobe. The umbrella

Around here the school photo business is mostly wrapped up by Strawbridge Studios. They've been in business for 95 years. They did all of my school photos from first grade through High School senior year. http://www.strawbridge.net/ I remember from my (pre-digital) school daze they used 70mm

If you use both Mac & Windoze, there's a program called MacDrive that allows Windoze computers to read drives formatted for Mac. I bought it when I was in school because I use Windoze at home. The School had Mac computers and we carried our work back & forth on an external drive. I found it
