Quick Self-Introduction and First PESO - Jackson

[pdml]

Howdy,

I've been lurking on the list for a little while and have decided it's time
to say "hi".

Hi.  :)

I am getting started with my first DSLR, the Pentax K100D.  I took some
photography in high school and college but have never had the time or
resources to be able to develop my skills (pardon the pun).  I love to shoot
photos but unfortunately am not very good at it yet.

I've enjoyed following the list for the past few weeks, particularly the
PESOs, and especially the comments, critique and suggestions thereof.

So, I submit for your evisceration -- er, I mean, critique -- the following
shot.  The photo was taken after a day at the fair in October, on my front
lawn.  I have modified it somewhat (too much?  let me know).

http://sethbienek.com/photos/PESO/Jackson.htm

I am looking forward to learning from your thoughts and criticism!

Best Regards,

Seth

JOBO SE9108 SD->CF Adapter

[P. J. Alling]

After diligently searching the Internet I've come to the conclusion that 
this is the only one of these things officially imported into the USA,  
Funny how it took a couple of years for someone to notice that there 
might be a market for them here.  Anyway has anyone here tried one of 
these.  (These adapters in general and the JOBO in particular).   It 
would certainly simplify the lives of the people planning to keep their 
*ist-D as a backup camera.  Just wondering.  By the way has anyone 
figured out how both Adorama and B&H can get away with charging the most 
expensive mailing costs for something that could be sipped first class 
with insurance in a jiffy pack?

Yes, great exhibition.

I saw it in 2006 in Melbourne and it's currently on in Sydney (Darling Harbour) 
until Boxing Day.  Here's the details:

Well worth a look.

bit bin, I'm afraid - from my point of view...  I just don't find the 
subject matter very intresting no matter how
you crop it.   if it were Fifth ave and the woman was loaded down with 
posh packages
there would be  a story there.  I don't think it is quite strong enough 
to exist only as patterns.
This is the first I've seen of it, btw - too crazed earlier to look at much.

I also couldn't tell ,until you mentioned it, that the woman was 
stepping off a curb... not that it matters.

Re: DS problems

Well now they have contact cleaner and tuner cleaner, (the tuner cleaner 
has lube the contact doesn't), I didn't recognize the primary chemical 
agent in the contact cleaner, didn't think to write it down, and I'm 
trying to find it's formula on line to see what it might do the plastic. 
Yes of course they _don't_ list it on their site.

but deafening silence greeted it here:

So, back to my Lightroom catalog I went.  This pic
might be better; I like the way the woman has stepped

Finally, a tighter crop of #2:

I missed the original (busy few days at work) but I'll say that this  
one is:
  1. In focus
  2. Properly exposed (maybe a bit dark)
  3. ... and kinda dull.

It just looks like a snapshot to me.  Nothing catches my eye.

[Rick Womer]

Fourteen seconds after yesterday's posting, same
placen (Pike Place Market, Seattle):

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6733382&size=lg

Slightly different exposure: f/8 @ 1/15.

This originally was my favorite of the two, but at the
last minute the red jacket in the other shot seduced
me.

Whadya think?

Voigtlander have a 40/2 and a 58/1.4
http://www.cameraquest.com/Voigt_SL2.htm

MF, not Pentax, but perhaps worth considering. I want a
moderately long lens and am trying to decide between
their 58 and Pentax 50/1.4.

It's a controlled substance in Canada.
The various governments regulate who can buy it, and taxes the living hell 
out of it, and now are also in the game of regulating where it can be 
smoked.
It makes for a weird situation. On the one hand, the tax windfall for the 
various levels of government is likely in excess of 300 billion dollars 
anually, on the other hand, the government funded health departments would 
prefer that we don't smoke.
This pits the interests of Revenue Canada against those of Health Canada on 
paper, though I suspect the reality is that the government knows who is, in 
reality, paying for government funded health care.
In the winter, all the tobacco lepers have to freeze themselves if they want 
to smoke, since they can no longer smoke indoors, except for private 
residences.
One of the provinces has enacted a law which will prohibit smoking in a car 
if ther is a child (in Canada that is anyone under 18 years of age) in it, 
and there is some talk that they will extend it to anyplace where a child 
is, which would make for an interesting enforcement problem

The FA50/1.4 is your best choice right now. The 50/1.2 is a very nice lens, 
but any 50/1.4 that Pentax has ever made is a better lens. My 50/1.2 is 
doing journeyman's duty right now as a portrait lens, because it doesn't 
have the bitingly sharp rendering of my 50/1.4s (I have a half dozen of 
them).

It was a gray, rainy, windy, foggy day. The sky does have a little

Bruce, I'd put back some of the right side guy's face. The isolated ear
is an odd component on its own. Maybe include facial area over to the
corner of his eye &/or mouth. It would, also, locate the sucker guy
more appropriately within the frame.

The optical quality is quite good - AF is normal for me - I've not
noticed any issues to speak of - it has been used with an *istD and
K10D.  As far as ruggedness goes, after the
first year, a screw came loose inside the zooming mechanism.  It had
to be sent in for repair.  I have used it for 3 seasons of little
league baseball action shooting.  The lens has been used for more
shots than all my other lenses combined - somewhere near 30,000
frames.  So it has been pretty good.  At the time I purchased it and
even today, there is not another choice in this range.  I needed
something with very good optical quality that could reach out to at
least 300mm and be constant at least to F4.

So I am happy with it and will continue to use it until it finally
dies.

Many thanks to all who have replied with your ideas.  I felt that
there needed to be some context for this shot and based on your
thoughts I have done some playing around.  Here is my final crop:

Yes me too, it would be a shame to break the set, especially as the 43 is the

Sigma 100-300mm f4 EX

[Burris, James]

 
Bruce,

Looking at your baseball photo, I am impressed by the quality of the
Sigma lens.  I had heard rumours about flaky AF performance of this lens
with Pentax DSLRs...have you had any problems?  I have used the 70-200mm
EX with absolutely no problems and am intrigued by this lens.

I'd go along with that. The world was a better place when there was

I'm going to have to reserve judgment 'til I see a larger image.
Resolution and contrasts remain a question.
I like the composition, however.

As usual on the internet, someone chopped off a part of his sentence and used

Re: Hunting for new standard lens

[Bob Sullivan]

Boris,

I would second Cotty's recommendation.  Pick a 1.4 over the 1.2.  The
1.2's have some compromises to get to f1.2.  I cannot see any of those
in the f1.4's.  And an A50/1.4 or M50/1.4 may be available at a
reduced price.

As for 43mm limited vs FA50/1.4, I have carried and shot with both.
For a time, I carried the FA50/1.4 in the 4 lens kit (A20/2.8, 31/1.8,
50/1.4, and 77/1.8).  Recently, I have substituted the 43 limited for
the 50/1.4.  There are not that many low light opportunities for me
and shake reduction has helped.  So I am trying the extra rendering
skills of the 43mm limited.

Regards,  Bob S.

Re: PESO: Pike Place Market 3

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Didn't get a chance to look at this one until now.

The degree of movement and subsequent blur of the people, taking up  
so much of the center of the frame, is too distracting and detracts  
from the photo too much. As Bruce succinctly put it, "They're in the  
way."

That's almost such a fantastic pic - nits are - horizon, and the
foreground with an interference fit with said horizon, and I'm not sure
about the space to the right. Great effort tho.

Re: PESO: Wall of Weed

Actually I have to agree with Jack, the forground seems a bit dark.  I 
just recalibrate my screen, by eye but still the brightness should be 
alright.  The top of the mound merging with the horizon is different and 
some might see it as a flaw. Seems like it would be better if it didn't.

Well, if it were under warranty it would be a no brainer.  I've had the

Re: DS problems

Color used to be lubricated IIRC.  I'm not sure that's called for here.  
They used to sell something we called tuner cleaner, (which wasn't it's 
actual name, but wasn't the color contact cleaner),   I used to clean up 
the brushed aluminum front panels on stereo components really nicely. 
It's funny but I never thought of cleaning actual contacts with it.

Re: OT - Almost Like a Gig - What to Charge?

[graywolf]

Charge a per hour, plus expenses (I used to add 15-25% to the expenses as sort 
of a handling charge). Give them everything you shoot that is worthwhile, with 
non-exclusive rights (charge 300-400% higher if they want exclusive rights) 
which means you can still use the images yourself for non-competing purposes. 
This is the way commercial work is usually quoted.

I would always give a firm quote if wanted, but it was actually an estimate of 
the above plus 50%, in case I goofed.

the 1.2 - the 1.4 is a superb lens - I'm sure many here would agree with
me there. You'll love the 50mm 1.4 in any guise.

Re: PESO: Wall of Weed

[Jack Davis]

Hi, Dave,
My monitor may need calibrated again, but the foreground is too dark
for my eye. Also, the center mound's top surface is exactly in line
with the horizon. Just too much of a distraction.

Mine did that really bad.
Since it was still under warranty just I sent it in.

The "color" stuff was residue-free, probably rebadged CRC. The
non-color stuff was not.
I discovered this the hard way.

The "color" one was designed to assure that the colors wouldn't fade or run.

One time when I bought some contact cleaner at R/S, they had two  
different cans:

  1. TV Contact cleaner
  2. Color TV contact cleaner

The stuff for "color" was a dollar more expensive.  I could never  
figure out what the difference could possibly have been.

Re: Opinions please

[graywolf]

All photographs are ordinary. In the past 160 years everything has been done, 
over, and over, and over again. So, they are all ordinary, but some are 
interesting despite that.

I'd go for another 43 Ltd.  Might as well have the full limited set 
again. :-)

Radio Shack, I belive their contact cleaner is just the CRC stuff relabled.

No chance of repair?  How bad is/was it?

(I'm almost afraid to ask for a picture of it)
