That's right. (In reality it isn't nearly as risky as you might guess.)
The   "Pole thing" is normally referred to as a bowsprit. :-)

No, it's a (cutter) ketch. It was built as a tuna troller so a lot of

Sounds as if you like work. :)
It would sure be a cool project (especially once it was finished).

Thanks for the response guys. If I look at color management in the

I remember that one. What every expert called the best viewing time because it 
was close to earth turned into a real fisser, just a white smudge in the sky.
I got up early one morning about 2 (4?) months earlier before it rounded the 
sun and it looked much more like a comet tho further away.
Best time to get a pic was then.

Re: GESO: McNaught at the beach

G'day Bob,

I'm glad you enjoyed them. I've had a lot of fun photographing it.

I remember as a kid when Halley's comet was visible. The build up to
it's appearance was huge. When it finally showed up I was
disappointed, as it hadn't lived up to the hype.

Comet McNaught on the other hand, has only got better and better each night.

Thanks for looking,

I haven't used copy stands much since high school :-). When I did some

Re: Praising K10D performance even with limitations

[Bruce Dayton]

Congrats on the anniversary.  I just passed my 26th.

The lighting looks quite good for a single flash - no obvious hot
spots or bad shadows behind you.

The 31 limited is certainly not my idea of a portrait lens, though.
The perspective is less than flattering for a head/shoulders shot like
that.

The only problem is that it's not that precise so for ease of set-up
and repeatability I think some kind of copy stand even jerry rigged
would be better. I used to have a copy stand adaptor for my old
LPL-7700 enlarger, the head popped off the stand and the copy adaptor

I have mixed feelings about this one.  Technically, it is quite good.
And the lighting makes it interesting to look at.  When looking at the

But, the overall scene just doesn't hold my interest that much.

Apparently as intended, it is very soft. Can't make out fine detail so
must ask, are those water droplets on the beautiful subject?
I'm looking forward to installing the firmware soon.
Thanks for the peek.

Did color management get enabled in the computer driver some how? Maybe

Very interesting. I've always wanted a copy stand but it's never made it 
to the top of the purchase list. But I do have a Bessler enlarger and 
stand sitting int he basement getting dusty.

Apparently, that's true. Something changed. I know that the computer  
was taxed today. I was printing and logged off at one time, which is  
normally not a problem. My wife logged on while the print was in  
progress. She can't change anything on my side, but the computer  
seemed to be acting a bit sluggish. Who knows what might have happened.

Re: Macro stand setup

[David Savage]

Maybe also consider a tripod like the Manfrotto 055Pro:



It allows the centre column to be removed and re-mounted horizontally.
It's well suited to macro & copy work & is a bit more versatile than a
dedicated copy stand IMHO.

For lighting, a couple of cheap desk lamps would be good enough
(assuming your shooting digital), as the white balance can be dialed
in to suit the lights.

Dave

Thanks for the response, Doug. Yes, it looks just like the kind of

didn't change anything. I'm exhausted now, but I'm going to look at  
everything again in the morning. If I can't find anything, I'll  try  
reinstalling the printer drivers as well. I'll post all my settings

Wales redux

[Mark Roberts]

I spent a large part of my spare time in December fixing up my web 
site. Not much that would be visible to the casual observer, but a lot 
of code fixes and compatibility improvements. I decided that it would 
be poor form to be teaching a course in web design and have students 
finding errors in the source code in my own web site ;-)

Now I'm working on updating/improving the photo galleries on the site 
(making sure the images are in sRGB and looking just the way I want, 
among other things).

I did the Grandfather Mountain page a couple of weeks ago and just 
updated the Wales page today. If you want to take a peek, here it is:

Music and Portraits

[Cotty]

Just finished watching a fabulous BBC documentary on the LA music scene
from the 60s and 70s -  



and one slightly surprising byproduct for me personally was seeing some
wonderful monochrome portraits - so much so that it has inspired me to
try and do some more portrait work (of course, using the venerable A*85
to keep it on topic). I haven't gotten my teeth into anything decent -
photographically speaking - for a long time, what with house moving and
work and such. I think I might be on the verge of something big (as the
bishop said to the actress).

BTW, if you get a chance try and have a look at the doc - it's
remarkable, and most likely quite salient to plenty here.

Time for some Neil Young.

Re: K10D ordered and paid!

[Jens Bladt]

Tim, your son is much more impottant than anything else.

If you really want a K10D, I suggest you get an assignment photographing -
make your photographs pay for the camera.
I did some photographs for a brewery along with my fellow camera club
memebers.
The owner - an amateut photographer himself -  liked my photographs a lot.
He suggested that I should pay a visit to a restaurant near by - and ask
them if they needed some photographs.

Luckily they did. I photographed all thier dishes, the guests, the buffet
etc.
That job paid for 50 % of my K10D :-)
So, I aim to make my hobby pay for it self. I haven't quite succeded yet -
but I will, eventually.

Good luck - and have a nice trip to England too!

I expect delivery at the end of this month :-)))
A few years ago I bought everything new abroad. My *ist D I got from Foto
Porst in Berlin, Germany.
I payed considerably less than I would have in a Danish store.
Today things have changed. I can actaully buy from a Danish company (on
line) and even save money.
This is a totally new thing. A few years ago Danish photodelaer and on-line
dealers could not compete - at all. Now they can :-)
I even saved 50 USD by buying it "locally". I expect www.webfoto.dk has a
better import deal than any other Danish photo dealer :-)

I hope to be doing some nice goup shots of the new city council in Koege on
January 30th. - in appr. 9 days!
For shots like this I'd normally use a 6x6 camera. I hope the K10D can

This is what I use.  I picked up an enlarger stand from my Univ's

Hard to say ... depends on what size print you need to make. 13x19 or  
16x20 inch should be no problem. Bigger than that, it depends.

Re: Macro stand setup

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I picked up an inexpensive but reasonably sturdy copy stand at a  
local store for about $90 two/three years ago. It does the job. I use  
a couple of flat-panel light boxes, propped in place with tape and  
pieces of cardboard, for lighting. (I already had the light boxes:  
they work very well for this.)

Macro/copy stand, particularly with lighting setup is expensive.
I used a cheapest brand name enlarger stand with coarse/fine head height
adjustment (now forgot the name as I no longer have it).  It was much
cheaper than a dedicated copy stand.  I bought a set of tungsten lamp
lighting stand which fit the stand but eliminated it as I used it with a
diffuser dome so you can use just about any light source.  Ideal for small
objects like stamps.
I am sorry I do not have any more meaningful info, but I remember it worked
superbly.

It's a bit overkill, but an enlarger chassis makes a great copy stand, and 
should be fairly inexpensive.

Macro stand setup

[Micah Kleit]

Hello:

Can anyone give me some advice on where to find an affordable macro  
stand setup?  I know that Novoflex has a terrific magic studio repro,  
but that's a little out of my price range.  I'm going to be  
cataloguing someone's collection of stamps, and I want to have a  
setup where I can ensure that the camera and stamp will always be  
parallel and at the same distance every shot.

With thanks,

Micah

Pixel Pitch Calculation

[K.Takeshita]

I encountered this calculation in a Japanese site.  There is nothing special
about this itself but I found it interesting that the pixel pitch/area of
K100D is pretty good in relation to FF 5D.
In terms of pixel pitch alone, 4/3 obviously has disadvantage (I know image
quality is not a matter of pixel pitch alone).
Some of the mathematical symbols may not be copying well here (originally in
Japanese) but you get an idea.

Ken

Calculation of pixel pitch

fr= focal length at wide end
ff= 35mm equivalent focal length at wide end
ａ＝ aspect ratio, 3/4＝0.75　or　2/3=0.66
p = effective pixel count
diagonal length of image in mm　d＝43.3×ｆｒ÷ｆｆ
image width ｗ＝√（ｄ＾２÷（a^2+1））
area per pixel a=ｗ×ｗ÷ｐ
pixel pitch ＝√ａｗ×ｗ÷ｐ
area ＝√（ａ×d^2÷（a^2＋１）÷ｐ）

Example of Calculation

１. Fuji Finepix F10 ｆｒ＝8.0 ｆｆ＝36.0 a=0.75 ｐ＝630 pixel d=43.3×8
÷36＝9.62mm w＾２＝92.587÷1.5625＝59.25568 pitch=√(0.75×59.25568
÷630）＝2.65 micron. area 7.02 square micron

２. Olympus μdigital 800 ｆｒ＝8.0 ｆｆ＝38.0 a=0.75 ｐ＝800 pixel
d=43.3×8÷38＝9.12mm w＾２＝83.1÷1.5625＝53.18 pitch=√(0.75×53.18
÷800）＝2.21 micron. area 4.88 square micron

３. Olympus E-330 a=0.75 ｐ＝750 pixel d=21.6mm w＾２＝468.29÷1.5625
＝299.7 pitch=√(0.75×299.7÷750）＝5.47 micron. area 29.9 square
micron

４．Olympus E-500 a=0.75 ｐ＝800 pixel d=21.64mm w＾２＝468.29÷1.5625
＝299.7 pitch=√(0.75×299.7÷800）＝5.30 micron. area 28.1 square
micron

５. Canon EOSKissDigitalN a=0. ｐ＝800 pixel d=26.68mm w＾２＝711.88
÷1.＝492.855 pitch=√(0.×492.855÷800）＝6.40 micron. area
41.0 square micron

６. Pentax K100D a=0.6676 ｐ＝610 pixel d=√(23.5^2+15.7^2)＝28.26mm w
＝23.5mm pitch=√(23.5×15.7÷610)＝7.78 micron. area 60.48 square
micron

７. Canon EOS５D a=0.6676 ｐ＝1280 pixel d=43.04mm w＾２＝1852.44
÷1.44569＝1281.35 pitch=√(0.6676×1281.35÷1280）＝8.17 micron. area

Scrapbooking with Henry

[Bob W]

Henri Cartier-Bresson described his scrapbook as his most precious
possession. It has recently been recreated and published as part of a
book imaginatively called "Scrapbook".

I bought a copy today, and although I haven't come close to looking at
all of it, I can recommend it. It includes a number of very
interesting biographical essays, but the particular aspect I'm
enjoying is the number of previously unpublished photographs it
includes. As well as new photos there are many variants of well-known
photographs, giving us some insight into his thinking as he took the
photos. Many of them appear to be reproduced from his own original
prints, which are fascinating to look at in their own right. There are
also tearsheets of articles about him, and articles showing his
pictures in published contexts, as well as bits and pieces
representing some of his influences. A very worthwhile book for fans.

I hope you enjoy being a stay at home parent.  It is both rewarding and can

Boris, I think the lighting is as good as it gets from just one light 
source and I am very interested in the whole setup (I must have missed 
the original video and as I have a 220S, if potentially might work for 
me I hope). Does it also work with vertical orientation? Also please 
share your opinions about 31Ltd., being accustomed to shoot with fast 
50s on film this might be way to go for me on a DSLR. And the last but

I too would like to know about the diffuser. Have an AF220T. works well
enough with the red and green auto modes but would like to add this little
trick as well.

Re: OT: Anyone heard from our friends in the Northern Europe?

[Cotty]

On 20/1/07, David Savage, discombobulated, unleashed:

>I've noticed their absence, & the fact that DPReview is inaccessible.

Dah. Storm in a teacup. Winds peaked at 99 mph off the Needles.
Gusts to about 80 or so in exposed places inland in southern England.
We're lucky, it's nothing like a real hurricane, and very infrequent at
these speeds. Winter gales gust to 60 regularly, but that's no problem.
Atlantic low pressure systems scud in from a south-westerly direction so
the air is damp and mild with temps peaking at 14C.

We had a few killed by falling walls and trees. One was in a car that
was flattened down the road in Berkshire. Tragic, he was in his thirties
leaving a pregnant wife and young child. Otherwise, power lines down - I
was filming repair crews yesterday putting up new poles in a forest.
Still a few thousand not back on the grid yet, they'll all be on by
Sunday night.

We've had a rapid succession of lows rumbling through for weeks, but now
a big high is taking up position, bringing Arctic air down on its
eastern flank, so we can expect snow showers in the British Isles for a
while. Some will wake to a couple of cm tomorrow, which will be nice,
but bring the country to a halt. We are the worst nation in the world
for preparing for it.

Join me in a few minutes for the full forecast :-)

Cheers,
