Re: Sanicole Sunset Airhow 2012
Hi All, Thank you for the comments, it's good to read them :) @Stan: I really like the blogspot-like speed and logic. simple but usable. I feel the uploading logic could be better, but I didn't find better solution than this. Yet. :) @Bob: the jet with canard-wings is the Dassault Rafale, as Brian wrote. This was the first time she came for fly a display in Sanicole Sunset Airshow. It didn't drop flares, but it was still very spectacular. I'm happy with the result, even if I know how many picture was screwed up because pentax's autofocus system... so it could be better :) hopefully it will be fixed and will become more reliable.

RE: On wi-fi, flashes, batteries etc.
One advantage of not having moved on from the *ist-D is that I can use simple old widely available AA batteries in both camera and flash (AF330FTZ)! Normally carrying two sets of spare recently-recharged batteries means I have seldom run out of juice. There seem to be other advantages too, from what I read here: no problems with fancy-shmancy SDM focussing. no need to calibrate my lenses - they all seem to focus pretty well. I don't attempt to shoot in available light where I need more than 800ASA. I'm sure there are more.. Although I probably will go to a K30 or K5 when the *ist-D finally gives up the ghost. John Coyle Brisbane, Australia -Original Message- From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Larry Colen Sent: Wednesday, 19 September 2012 3:23 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: On wi-fi, flashes, batteries etc. I think that the vast majority of problems that I have with my flash have to do with the physical connection between the camera and the flash. If the camera bodies and flashes were both equipped with wifi it would open a tremendous number of opportunities. Of course, the right way to do this would be a communications standard so that things would work across brands. This would also have an advantage of wifi tethering and control of both bodies and flashes. Being able to control everything from one laptop. I'd also love to be able to use the same battery in my flash as my K-5. I'd do it as "standard" battery format, bigger than any of the ones in the cameras, that would fit in all grips and flashes. It would also be possible to make an adapter so you could use the K-5 battery, or the K20, K-foo, or whatever new battery was developed. Of course an extended life battery that just fit in grips and flashes would also be nice. Unfortunately, Pentax hasn't hired me to design and develop new products and features, so I don't see these things coming in the near future. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

PESO: Goofin' with the Pentax Q digital filters for in-camera post-processing
I had never played around with the Pentax Q "Digital Filters" (in camera) before... not as you take the photo, but in processing in the camera after taking the original photos. I started with a Bracketed Exposure set of three images (normal, over, under) and then played around with the digital filters and their parameters. If I saw something that looked decent, I would Save As... You can also use two or more digital filters in combination on your image. Since I shoot RAW+, the original RAW files are still on the card, untouched for me to play with in post-processing "for real" with Snapseed or Lightroom or Photoshop.

Re: To Filter or not to Filter your Lens
I use filters! When I did the construction shoot a while back, I was glad I was a filter-girl. One of those little trucks would come zooming by and soon enough I and my cameras were covered head to toe in dirt-dust, and, of course, tiny rock particles would fly about as well. One dinged my B + W polarizing filter real nice, but thankfully the pesky little rock particle didn't get the front element. This thread reminds me of the time I was at Bob Sullivan's house years ago after just joining the PDML. He began a long lecture on how PDMLers do not use filters and that if I wanted to be a true PDMLer I should give up the habit real fast. I said I would, but I had my fingers croxxed, and have been hiding my untruth all these good long years--until now, of course, but despite being junior to most, I am senior to some, so I'm feeling cocky and bold and devil may care and decided to come clean! I say use filters, but buy good ones. That reminds me: I need to replace my semi-cheap UV filters. I think I'll head over to the B + W store. To me, shooting without a filter is like riding a motorcycle without a helmut. You won't find filter-girl--aka helmut-girl--without either.

Re: OT: Colorized versions of old black and white images
They desecrated some iconic photos... I think something similar was shown here some time ago. In fact some of these look familiar. Wasn't an "artist" colourizing well-known b&w photos and trying to pass it off as her own art? Anyway, I think it's wrong to do this and your description, Mark, is appropriate.

Re: PESO - iAudience
My early work is full of clichéd musician shots, plus a handful of "better" ones, but yeah, I've been largely avoiding musicians myself. I thought I'd give it a go again on Saturday and see if I've learned anything. :-) I also decided to travel light (K100D Super + 18-55 kit), and fix the shutter at 1/1000th (Tv) and ISO 1600. Basically, I changed up _everything_ from what I usually do. Thanks very much, Frank.

Re: PESO - Ragtime John
Frank, it's a Del Vecchio from Brazil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Vecchio_(guitar_maker) Most likely one of the Dinâmico guitars. John told me it's an antique. It's certainly really well used; half of the soundhole grills are missing or caved in. They used gorgeous Brazilian wood in the top plate. Apparently rare outside Brazil, but semi-famous because Chet Atkins played one. The construction is dubious and they're often out of tune, but this one sounded wonderful, I thought.

Re: OT: Humor For our Canadian Friends
Yes, but to our ears you southerners say "a-bay-out". ;-) Of course we Canadians have lots of different local accents (the Newfoundland accent probably being the best known - rumour has it that local Newfies can actually tell what fishing village one comes from by their accent). That being said the central Canadian accent is so flat and "neutral" that quite a few Canadians are newsreaders down south (as in the USA). Robert Macneil (Macneil - Lehrer Report), Keith Morrison, Peter Jennings and John Roberts (we knew him as JD Roberts) come to mind.

Re: To Filter or not to Filter your Lens
Quoting knarftheria...@gmail.com: I used to filter religiously when I shot film primarily because I shot almost exclusively Tri X and I liked a yellow, orange or red filter for contrast and to darken skies. Then when I got the *istD none of my filters fit the 18-55 and I had read that Pentax coatings were pretty tough, so that was it for filters. And now the filter ring on the 18-55 (my most used lens by far) is bent. So no filter. Don't miss it. Me neither. I used to use a UV or Skylights on all of my lenses but eventually came to the conclusion that: a) I had never bumped my lenses enough to cause damage to the filter, so what was the point? b) I could never afford quality filters, so what was the point? c) The lenses either had a cap on when not in use or a hood (usually) when they were, so what was the point? The point was/is - I didn't need 'em. I do use a polarizer or ND, however, when appropriate. I carry around a grad ND as well but even it sees little use because I can usually achieve the same effect through multiple exposures combined in post.

But here is a version bottled anew. Since my retirement I have been travelling a lot. Last weekend we were in San Francisco. We love the wharf area and pier 39 plus the rides on the historic cable cars. A very windy and chilly day. Lots and lots of birds flying around for scraps of food. And eat means they have to drop too. So bits of bird droppings broken up and propelled by the wind do hit your camera and the lens. I was not spared. Back at the hotel, I tried cleaning the filter with a blower brush and the Japanese high fiber lens cloth (no China stuff). Faint spots still remained on the Hoya 77mm Pro 1 Filter. Back home I tried a lens cleaner. No luck. I could still see very faint spotting on the filter. My daughter was quick to point out that bird droppings have strong chemicals that can stain a lens coating, perhaps damage it. I would now love to hear from our photographer friends, a) for whom a filter is absolutely sacrilege, b) the Buddha's middle path takers who say they take the filter off for important events, and c) those who swear by the filter.

Re: Graflite Graflex 250 bare bulb flash
No personal experience. My son-in-law has gotten into vintage flashbulbs but he uses them with a camera that was designed for it (an old Kodak Tourist). He picks up flash bulbs by the box when he finds a good buy on them. I was surprised to learn how much light they put out and how many people still like to use them (spelunkers, for example). If you haven't already found these references via Google, here are some links: http://lommen9.home.xs4all.nl/GRAFLITE/index.html http://graflex.org/helpboard/viewtopic.php?t=501 https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/rec.photo.equipment.medium-format/MeRtYKBc3uU other options: http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?topic_id=23&msg_id=0004iC Hope that helps. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: To Filter or not to Filter your Lens
I'd comment on this but as a convert I try to stay out of religious arguments these days, just to fight the stereotype. On 9/18/2012 12:45 AM, Bipin Gupta wrote: Yes this is an oft repeated old stuff. But here is a version bottled anew. Since my retirement I have been travelling a lot. Last weekend we were in San Francisco. We love the wharf area and pier 39 plus the rides on the historic cable cars. A very windy and chilly day. Lots and lots of birds flying around for scraps of food. And eat means they have to drop too. So bits of bird droppings broken up and propelled by the wind do hit your camera and the lens. I was not spared. Back at the hotel, I tried cleaning the filter with a blower brush and the Japanese high fiber lens cloth (no China stuff). Faint spots still remained on the Hoya 77mm Pro 1 Filter. Back home I tried a lens cleaner. No luck. I could still see very faint spotting on the filter. My daughter was quick to point out that bird droppings have strong chemicals that can stain a lens coating, perhaps damage it. I would now love to hear from our photographer friends, a) for whom a filter is absolutely sacrilege, b) the Buddha's middle path takers who say they take the filter off for important events, and c) those who swear by the filter.

We're all free agents and your purchasing decisions are your choice. This isn't the PLML (Pentax Lovers Mailing List), it's the PDML. It's more than just a bunch of people that use and appreciate Pentax gear (which you know), it's above all a group of people that enjoy photography regardless of brand used. Many people on this list have parted ways with (or largely so) with Pentax - but not the list. > (***) I handled yesterday a number of Sony NEX cameras (including > NEX-7) in one of the local stores at where I am now.

Consider that little guy with a built in EVF has 1 1/2 times the resolution of a K-5. I find it very intuitive to use. I've invested in a number of e-mount lenses at this point including the Sony 50/1.8, the Sony 18-200, and the CZ 24/1.8. Also a K-mount adapter for use with the 100/2.8 macro. I haven't had time to get out and shoot a lot with it yet.

I'd be more concerned with accuracy than ruggedness. I've charted my photo locations at Grandfather Mountain over the years, upgrading GPS receivers along the way: The number of channels, WAAS capability, etc. have improved with each iteration. I record my coordinates in UTM format, so it's been easy to see the big improvement in accuracy along the way (some of the measurements I made with my first unit would vary by over 100 meters the next time I visited the same spot); the time required to initially lock on to satellites and to stabilize at a specific location has been drastically reduced. Of course, this is moot if your GPS gives you the accuracy you *need*. At GFM a 10 meter discrepency can be the difference between getting a nice view or no view at all or plunging off a cliff to your death. If you just need to know that a shot was taken in Lexington, Kentucky or Portland, Maine I'd think any GPS would do ;-) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

While degradation from a filter may be minimal, or virtually undetectable, nevertheless I have a problem with keeping a typically $125 or less filter on the front of a lens that costs many times more. I've taken to only buying B&W filters for my circular polarizers.

Since my retirement I have been travelling a lot. Last weekend we were in San Francisco. We love the wharf area and pier 39 plus the rides on the historic cable cars. A very windy and chilly day. Lots and lots of birds flying around for scraps of food. And eat means they have to drop too. So bits of bird droppings broken up and propelled by the wind do hit your camera and the lens. I was not spared. Back at the hotel, I tried cleaning the filter with a blower brush and the Japanese high fiber lens cloth (no China stuff). Faint spots still remained on the Hoya 77mm Pro 1 Filter. Back home I tried a lens cleaner. No luck. I could still see very faint spotting on the filter. My daughter was quick to point out that bird droppings have strong chemicals that can stain a lens coating, perhaps damage it. I would now love to hear from our photographer friends, a) for whom a filter is absolutely sacrilege, b) the Buddha's middle path takers who say they take the filter off for important events, and c) those who swear by the filter. Bipin. camp: San Mateo, CA and not from the far away enchanting land. I'm solidly in the "No Filter" camp, but will be the first to admit that the way I treat my photos tools is shameful. I never use them, either. When I damage a lens, I don't screw around with nettling little issues like the front element. I turn them into paperweights. -- Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
