Re: A bit more about K10D, please read.

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I haven't had any problems working with K10D RAW/DNG files in Lightroom.

Camera Raw profiles are not compatible to the best of my knowledge.

OK, change what I said to "gargantuan", "goliathan", or any other

Anyone have any comments on how well the SMC-A 70-210mm F4 zoom performs on

Works like a charm on my K100D. While it's not a focal length I often 
use (I'm a wide/normal guy) it's a superb lens on digital.

In fact, I used SR on K10D. Could be the use of SR actually was

Cotty, I don't have the 21 lim. In this range all I have is FAJ 18-35. I 
don't want to buy 21 lim because it is not full frame. So my widest 
prime is 31 lim that I used.

Nice. Bella is pretty much on track then, she's about 22" and 40 pounds at 
11 mo.
Jester is now 24" and somewhere between 75 and 80 pounds at 7 months.
Bella kicks the crap out of him every opportunity she gets. It's good for

Re: PESO: Pretty Girls

[Paul Stenquist]

Yes, I'm moving toward a second K10D as well. The D is nice, but not  
as nice as the K10. This shot looks a bit too thin, but that's  
because I processed it on  my laptop without a calibrated monitor. (I  
subsequently looked at it on my work computer.) I have a tough time  
getting exposures right on the laptop, but I still use it when I  
don't have time to get down to the work computer. I can't calibrate  
the monitor on the laptop, because I don't have administrator  
privileges. However, the IT guy at work has promised to install the  
Spider 2 software for me when we go back after the holidays. So bear  
with me until then:-).

Re: PESO: Dessert & Family

[David Savage]

G'day Boris,

I was shooting high ISO because I didn't want to bother everyone with the flash.

WRT noise, this series of photos was the first time I came across
objectionable mottled blue noise. Using the reduce noise filter in PS
CS2 helped, basically had to blur the blue channel to minimise it.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,

Dave

Re: PESO: Pretty Girls

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I agree: I like the rendering at ISO 1600 and 800, while the DS body  
is just a hair smoother the K10D gives a nicer texturing. But I tend  
to push the values down a bit more for a deeper look.

The K10D is taking over as my standard camera now, I'm thrilled with  
it. I think all the others I've got are going on the market and I'll  
get a second K10D body for backup. Only a couple of film cameras will  
remain for nostalgia and occasional fun, and the Fuji F30 for a  
pocketable besides it.

the grain on that shot reminds me of the type of grain that cheap

film for that reason, but it's interesting to see it replicated

RE: So, with only a few days left, who's GFMing

[Bob W]

too soon to say just yet - we need to make a decision. We might also
go up to Scotland for some mysterious descent which sounds rather too
frightening for me. But if we decide on Norway I shall certainly let
you know.

Hi there.

One more of K10D trial shots. I am surprised by the colors that came out 
on this shot. In reality it was much more dull and gray. I did only very 
minor tweaking in ACR.

Brutal and honest comments are sought after.

But not in America. 

I think I will either do the Tour de Mont Blanc or go above the Arctic

Good point, George. And as I said, this is a serious crop-- 50

Even though there is some noise in this photo, it's not obscuring
detail.  For instance, the hair of the girl on the right against the

Tims bird project

[Tim Øsleby]

What happened with my Bird project? 

The short answer is I'm doing fine. The long winded version is below. May be
boring for those not very interested. Don't say I didn't warn you ;-) 

It is still happening. So far I've shot about 5000 shots. I have managed to
get decent shots of most of the 27 species I've hunted for. Now I am in the
phase of rough editing them. I'm almost done with this stage of the process.

When I'm done with this I'll probably start bothering the list with pictures
again (haven't showed any in some time). I sure could do with some input on
final editing and fine tuning them. 

I'm not 100% happy with the pictures from a photographic point of view, but
I believe many of those I've kept will do. 

As you may have realised reading the Doomsday thread I'm not very happy with
the weather. At this time of year, rain means to poor light to shoot birds.
But I have good hope it will stop raining after 3 times 40 days of rain. So
some day in future, I may go out shoot again ;-)
The fun part is working in the field. 

I haven't really decided what the end product will be, but my intentions are
to present it to local politicians and other who are interested some time
during this spring. 

One idea is to give a talk about the birds while showing the images. Another
idea is to make a show in the local gallery. What I decide on depends on how
much the local nature conservation union committee (I'm a member) will take
part of the process. Maybe I'll do both. 

In periods I have been rather pessimistic about the outcome of the project.
Those who want to develop the beach have resources, as money and contacts
with the politicians. But a new law is coming. Basically this law means that
semi central governments can stop it. I believe there is a better chance of
breaking trough with them. They are not as easily corrupted by the talk of
money as the local politicians, I hope.

No real news at the crappy lens front? Basically I decided that the Tokina
150-500 was crap ;-) 
That's not quite true. But after some testing I decided I was better of with
a prime because I realised I used it mainly at 500mm where the performance
wasn't much. So I re enabled myself first with a Tamron adaptall2 300/2,8
and then a Pentax 500/4,5. They are more semi crappy than crappy lenses. In
fact I think they are pretty good. The 300 also does a decent job with the
1,7x AF converter.  

So, for the time being, the crappy lens "project" is of.

A pleasure to meet you as well, Boris. I think my hands are about  
average, but they're certainly big enough to wrap around the K10D  
grip. I was shooting one handed on the street today while sipping on  
a cup of coffee. No problem. I think that if I'm really steady, it's  
because I've been shooting for so long that I don't think about it.

Re: Doomsday is coming upon us?

[Paul Stenquist]

However, if you add enough ethanol (or methanol) to raise the octane  
sufficiently and control detonation, you end up with a distressingly  
low power fuel. Thus, you consume more to go the same distance. There  
are no easy answers.

I believe water is miscible in alcohol. Or maybe that's vise versa...

In fact, it lies within the water molecule, and to a full beaker of 
water, you can add a fair amount of pure ethyl alcohol, without it 
overflowing.
It occupies the same volume because their molecules are intertwining (or 
whatever they call it!)

Impressive lab experiment!

Gel as in gellatin - a transparent semi-liquid that you apply to skin:



I have a tendon strain under the shoulder bones affecting the nerves in
my upper arms, so I'm on a regime of ice packs and gel at the moment.

Actually my back is in good shape. I went to my chiro about 5 months ago
with muscle spasms in the lumbar region. After X rays, turns out I have
one desiccated disc (q.v.) and so had intensive repair regimen and doing
nicely now. No sciatica, so caught it early enough. Backs are a problem
in my business.

Emne: GESO: playing in the studio


I visited my friend Marc Williams in his studio this morning. Marc
shoots a lot of ad work as well as some very artful wedding portfolios.
His equipment ranges from film Leicas (MP3, M7) to an M8, Canon Mark II
DS and 5D, a Hassy with a digital back, and a Mamiya RZ67 with a
digital back. In other words, visiting his studio is like a trip to the
toy store. Here's the Mamiya RZ67 with the Leaf 33 megapixel digital
back. In case you're in the market for one of these, the back alone
goes for 23,000 US:
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5386311&size=lg
Here''s Marc shooting me. I shot him with the K10D and the DA 12-24 at
24mm. The stop was f5.6. The shutter was 1/6th of a second at ISO 640.
Shake reduction works:
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5386304
And here's Marc's shot of me with the MZ67. I know it was ISO 800,
because he was testing an upgrade to the leaf back that eliminated a
problem at high ISO. The lens was wide open. I don't know what lens it
was, but I'd guess around 100mm. The camera was on a tripod, or more
accurately, an elaborate support system:
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5386297&size=lg
Lots of fun.
Paul

GFM: The Man

[Mark Roberts]

GFM regulars will be interested to know about the status of the event's 
organizer and master of ceremonies, Don Nelson. He's been going through 
a bit of bother with lymphoma this past year and recently went through 
a long, aggressive round of chemotherapy with accompanying bone marrow 
transplants and other unpleasantness. I just got off the phone with him 
and though he's still weak - and sounds it - he says he's feeling and 
looking better all the time (What? Looking *better*? Is that 
possible?!). He says there's noticeable improvement every day and his 
doctors say all the numbers (various cell counts and other tests) are 
looking very good.

Apparently, Catherine Morton is working feverishly on preparations for 
having the online registration working on January 1. If it isn't live 
then I'll try to get an estimate of when they think it will be working 
but I don't expect much, if any, delay this year.

Great light Boris.
I like the composition - the way the sterns of the boats all trail off to

Local news!

[Mike Hamilton]

Well, I opened up the local newspaper (the Edmonton Journal) and found
two of my photos published on the front page of the City section!  I'd
been interviewed last week, and although they didn't publish much of
that, i was really happy to see my photos in print!

Here's a link: 


The story is about local photobloggers.  The two photos are:

My goal for this year is to get a show of my photos at a local cafe!

Re: PESO - Hertzlia Marina vs K10D

[Jack Davis]

Gives me the feeling that all are hunkered down in their births 'til
those clouds have done their thing.
Like the mast and transom perspective.
I realize you didn't use flash, but the slightly left side lighting
made me wonder originally. Detracts from the "piece" of the image to
some extent.

Hi Boris
I like the warm colors and the view but the photo seems just a bit too
blurred to my eyes.
A tripod or similar assistance for the camera and much more dof would
enhance this photo a lot for me.
At such places you should have found something to lean the camera on

Pleasure to meet you (half) face to face, Paul. I should notice that you 
most probably have way bigger hand than I do, which probably helps you 
to hold your "steady" title ;-).

Indeed, I still remember that visit to Pentax Norway that I had thanks

Anyone know if these profiles work with Lightroom, and if they do
where they would go in a Windows system?

They make you sign a release at the border that you are not a serious
photographer.
Nice shots Joe. I take it snow isn't common in that part of NM?

We used to get one good snow (6 inches/15 cm) per winter, plus several 
smaller ones. Then over the past 15 years or so those have become fewer 
and fewer. Now we have had two of them within 9 days. Albuquerque 
airport set a record yesterday. I haven't ventured outside, but my yard 
looks like it has about 15 inches/38 cm.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I spotmetered on the buildings, then 
adjusted exposure according to the histogram--generally downward.

 Count me in. Now my wife says she will go. Also looks like her sister has
 found us a place to stay with friends who actually live there on GFM. I'm
 getting excited!

PESO - Hertzlia Marina vs K10D

[Boris Liberman]

Hi there.

http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=16034

One more of K10D trial shots. I am surprised by the colors that came out 
on this shot. In reality it was much more dull and gray. I did only very 
minor tweaking in ACR.

Brutal and honest comments are sought after.

Boris
