RE: PESO 2007 - 41c - GDG

I like this.  I didn't at first.  But it grows on me.

Maybe a little less DOF would have been a benefit?

Nice.  Would probably look pretty good in a sepia tone also.

Re: 28-70

2007-10-06 Thread Joseph Tainter
Hi,
The Don gave me the two above mentioned lenses to test drive over the
weekend. I'm presuming these are USM lenses. Right now, they seem to be
using the body motor for focusing. Do I need to upgrade the firmware to
utilize the lens's focusing motor?
Thanks

William Robb

-

Bill, I would not update your firmware just to try SDM. If it is any 
faster than the shaft drive, you will need precise instruments to 
measure the difference. If you are shooting wildlife the quiet is nice, 
but otherwise I can see no advantage to SDM. I think it is mostly a 
marketing gimmick, like some other things Pentax has done because the 
competition has done them.

You can try the 50-135 just fine with the shaft drive. If focuses rather 
slowly by either method.

If you buy one of the DA* lenses, you can consider whether to update the 
firmware for SDM. I would like Pentax to bring out a firmware update 
that allows one to switch between shaft drive and SDM.

Joe

Redo it. Quilt the bottom  more, probably the pictures. The little triangles 
at the bottom got too small. I  was going to put a triangled border around the 
whole thing originally and I  still may. It doesn't look quite quilty enough 
yet, so I need to try some of  these ideas and others see what happens. 
Basically I need to find some quilting  patterns, which I haven't yet. Maybe 
some 
with a star.

Thanks for the  honest reaction.

Re: PESO: "Translucent" Vulture

2007-10-06 Thread Jack Davis
The bird was in almost complete silhouette. I'd have needed a flash
with pretty large guide number to have lit up his underside. ;-)
I was pleased to have gotten the slightest hint of red and the
slightest glint of beak detail.
I don't consider either of the vulture shots to be successes, but I do
like what the sun is doing with the feather tips.

Re: Probably just a typo.....

2007-10-06 Thread Anthony Farr
Damn, last week I could email a link straight to a photo that anyone
could view in a Picasa Web Album, without signing in.  Today I checked
the link before signing in and found that sign-in is required.  What
use is that?!!

This might work, but I won't hold my breath:

http://picasaweb.google.com/FarrAnthony/FYI

Why can't Google learn from newspapers' experience, that requiring
registration to just view the site will drive a wedge between
advertisers (the site owners bread & butter) and the public they wish
to advertise at.

I got that from someone else, also. When I posted it I subdued the

A definite improvement, although I wasn't thinking of a vertical crop.

I misstated my original suggestion -
>"I think the composition would be improved by doing a vertical crop from

I obviously meant horizontal instead of vertical.

Re: PESO: Country Porch

2007-10-06 Thread Bruce Dayton
Nope, don't like the crop - it loses a lot for me - the essence of the
porch was all the stuff on it.  The crop takes all that away and
focuses on a specific area that wasn't where I really focused before.
It is kind of like comparing a picture of a bird to a picture of a
bird head.  If you only want me to see the bird head, then the crop is
fine, but if you want me to see the bird, then show me.

I thought the porch had character, just bad light.  The crop no longer
looks like a porch, so I see steps and a flag - not the character I
saw before.  I hope I am making sense.

Re: OT: Photographer Being Sued

2007-10-06 Thread P. J. Alling
You're right it isn't a copyright or trademark issue, it is a property 
rights/trespass issue, however the lawyers for the Plantation decided to 
sue the photographer for copyright infringement, for which they clearly 
have no standing.

Since you haven't seen the pictures I'll keep this simple, the 
Photograph in question is of an old oak tree lined road. The oak trees 
are at 250+ years old. At this point even if the road were laid out by a 
surveyor, (and not generations of Deer), and the trees planted by a 
gardener, (and didn't simply take advantage of the clearings to the side 
of the road), they have long since stopped being a work of man and have 
become a work of nature. As such they are not subject to copyright, (if 
they are then I guess the US Government could claim copyright to the 
Grand Canyon, something I think none of us would like to see). The 
Foundation is therefor claiming copyright to something that cannot be 
copyrighted. On the face of it this case should go no farther than the 
nearest circular file.

The Codicil is in this case unenforceable, it is only enforceable on the 
foundation, who in this case is mistaking a limitation on itself, with a 
limitation on a third party. In my humble opinion the Grantor wanted to 
make sure that the foundation didn't sell the likeness of the Plantation 
House to a business concern, probably to avoid the creation of something 
like "Old Dixie Plantation, Sour Mash Whiskey" or "Old Dixie Plantation, 
Real Old Fashioned Lemonade", with an Image of the plantation house 
prominently displayed on the packaging. I doubt very much that a former 
wildlife artist would want to hurt another artist with an aesthetic 
appreciation of the Plantation's beauty, (this does not in any way 
forgive the trespass however).

If the rule of no photographs is clearly stated and enforced and the 
Photographer entered the property without permission, then he is clearly 
liable for being charged with criminal trespass. The photograph itself 
is proof of the charge. That is an open and shut case. Criminal trespass 
is a felony in most states carrying with it some jail time and a hefty 
fine, (I don't know the law in South Carolina, but in Texas it could get 
you shot). I would think that a felony conviction would serve the case 
better than a lawsuit seeking monetary damages.

I was going to say that if the Photographer attempted to sell the images 
to a commercial concern for advertising or trademarking purposes, he 
might be in trouble. But I'm not even sure that would be true,the 
commercial enterprise would probably be if it then used the name "The 
Dixie Plantation" in their advertising along with the photographs.

There is however another question. If the images were obtained 
unlawfully, (even thought copyright isn't involved), what should be done 
with the profits from them?

First shot has a couple problems (background post) and, of course, some
movement blur. The blur, however, can be a part of the message when it

The close cropping makes it for me.  The only quibble is that I find the 
sapling in the background just above the broken spoke just slightly 
distracting.  It does, however, give continuity to that spoke and I'm not 
entirely sure whether it improves or detracts from the image.

A minor issue anyway. I like this one a lot.

Sure and I'm not allowed to make a copy of your building, without paying 
royalties, but photographing your building is not making a copy of it. 
More importantly the image in question appears to be of entirely natural 
origin. Unless someone can prove the road was laid out by a surveyor and 
not several generations of deer. Even then it is over 200 years old and 
has long since fallen into the public domain if it was even possible to 
copyright to begin with, a point I would dispute.

 What I don't understand is how you can place a legally binding

Re: OT: Photographer Being Sued

2007-10-06 Thread P. J. Alling
Maybe but you are using logic starting from incorrect assumptions, I am 
stating law, two different things. A work of nature cannot be 
copyrighted period. The photograph in question is of a group of 250+ 
year old oak trees. They stopped being a work of man a long time ago, if 
they ever were. No copyright applies. The road was probably a originally 
a dear track, once again no copyright applies. In this case I don't even 
have to go into materials entering the public domain. The trespass is 
another matter for which there can be a legal argument. However as I 
said, the photographer is not being sued for that.

This just so completely confuses copyright and trademark infringement 
with a bit of the we can control everything cant the Dixie Plantation

Tnat depends. Anything that's designed can be copyrighted(Buildings,

You entirely miss the point. You cannot claim copyright on something you 
hold no copyright to. If he pays it will be a miscarriage of justice and 
in the end all photographers will pay and pay dearly.

Re: OT: Photographer Being Sued

2007-10-06 Thread Adam Maas
This is a very grey area. If your Blazer is parked in a public area when 
the picture was taken, you have no standing to sue. If it was on private 
property, things get murky (unless the photographer was also on the same 
private property, at which point the question becomes one of straight 
trespass).

 "Privacy" and "security" are too closely related these days.
 That being said, I'm somewhat ambivalent about being restricted from
 taking pictures of something which is on private property, but from a
 public property position.

I tend to agree, Godfrey. I think it works better though as a large

lots of details in the plant bud.

FWIW, it is a shot of a baby that will grow up to be a carnivorous beast.

Re: OT: Photographer Being Sued

2007-10-06 Thread graywolf
It is not a copyright or trademark issue. It is a property rights issue. There 
is nothing stopping you from taking a photo of my Blazer, but since with its 
unique pattern of red primer, or a visible license plate it is clearly my 
particular car, you can not sell photos of it without my permission.

I have not seen the pictures in issue, but if they are clearly of their 
property 
they have a solid case, but if they are just a tree line road that could be any 
such road anywhere, they do not. That most likely will be something for the 
courts to decide.

To make matters worse there is apparently a codicil in the will that gave them 
the property prohibiting commercial use of the property. If they do not fight 
those photographs they could lose the property to family members who probably 
resent that he left the property to someone else.

It sounds like a real legal tangle all the way around.

Gorgeous colour. And an example of rules that are made to be broken. 
Horizon line is just about through the centre. But the should wouldn't 
work as well if it showed either more sky or more reeds.

Yes, that's correct (and of course you can sell them for editorial use without

PESO - Napa Quilt

2007-10-06 Thread Eactivist
I showed this photo last year. Most liked it.  Some liked it better in B&W. 
Taken in Napa on a sans Shel trip.

I  started playing with it a few days after showing it. For some reason it 
made me  think of a quilt. I came back to it today and finished it up. Not 
quite, quite  what I want but getting there.

Warning, this is not a pure photograph.  Something  different...

http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/quilt.htm

I'd  appreciate knowing if it does anything for you. I may play with it even 
more in  the future. 

Won't be one bit surprised if no one likes it but  me.

IIRC, you can't sell the images for commercial use without a release 
but you can sell them as fine art prints, ie, as pieces of art in and

A fairly large number of commercial buildings are copyrighted in such ways. You 
can photograph them legally, but you can't sell the images without a property 
release. That may well be the case here, but it sounds like the Plaintiffs did 
not have their copyright actually filed.

In some (or maybe many) cases the scenes are copyright protected
company logos and I suppose that could be at play.(?)
I've understood for some time that "The Lone Cypress", on the Monterey
peninsula's "17 Mile Drive", is one such site.
Sometime in the late 90's I shot the scene, but it's not on my site.
(don't even know where the image is at this point)

Copyright protected (against commercial image use) sights have been in
existence for quite awhile. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr Ham pays,
especially due to the trespass issue.
Without taking it any further, if it is the sight I am guessing it is,
it is one which is much used for commercial purposed.

fact the Colt Firearms Co. has trademarked the Blue Dome of their former 
building, and no one else is allowed to use it in connection with gun

Re: Probably just a typo.....

2007-10-06 Thread P. J. Alling
The MZ-D aka KR-52 has for marketing reasons been renamed the K1D, at 
least as far as I can tell. I don't think Pentax would let Google know 
the specifications of a new camera ahead of time and keep that same 
information from Adobe. (The odds are that a RAW file from a MZ-D will 
never be seen by any one of these applications).

You can see some pictures here. 
http://www.avbuzz.com/bbs/photo/photo-thread-77223.html

It seems to be an original MZ-S re-badged, not a Photoshop job, there 
seem to be some subtle differences between the this and the MZ-D on 
Boz's page.. But some people are really good with Photoshop.

right to take the photos, without violating any laws of trespass, it is selling 
the images that is questionable. One would assume that the right to the income 
from ones own property is clear, otherwise I want every one on the list to send 
me rent. regardless of who owns the property they live on .

Yes, but they're suing him for copyright infringement. That's the 
problem they're idiots, and if they can manage to get a court ot go 
along with them in the interests of justice then it hurts us all. The 
case as it stands should be thrown out and the proper legal action 
taken. That is unless he had permission to be there then they have no 
standing.

Re: OT: Photographer Being Sued

yeah, that's what I thought - they could get him for trespassing, but
I don't think he was doing anything illegal by taking a photograph.
What I don't understand is how you can place a legally binding
contract forbidding photographs of your land to be sold...do you have
to put up signs or something?  what nonsense.

Probably just a typo.....

As I was poking through the darker recesses of my computer, I found
this intriguing tidbit tucked away inside Picasa:

or

Look about a third the way down the list.  But perhaps it signifies nothing.

PESO: "Translucent" Vulture

2007-10-06 Thread Jack Davis
This is just another shot of a California "Turkey" Vulture with the sun
lighting up its feathers.
I only slightly lightened the shadows and kind of prefer this version
for a couple reasons. Pretty heavily cropped. Same equipment.
This shot isn't one for which I have glorious plans..just is of current
mild interest.

Mr Ham had no right to do what he did. "Private" property rights should
always be respected especially when privacy is to be compromised by
being held up to the world to see.
"Privacy" and "security" are too closely related these days.
That being said, I'm somewhat ambivalent about being restricted from
taking pictures of something which is on private property, but from a
public property position.

I actually found the image in question.  If the judge even lets this go 
one day in court, he should be impeached, he doesn't deserve to be on 
the bench deciding copyright cases.
