Re: 2 pesos: from last weekend in the country
Thanks Paul and Dave - yeah - the first one is much better as a photo in itself for sure I may or may not have a better shot of the forsythia, which I mainly put up to show the oddness of it's appearance on the scene. Just a few days of too warm weather here (about an hour north of NY) made it think it was April. This particular forsythia was by a stream and I had little opportunity to change angle, adjust lighting, etc... so it is more of an information shot. But it was the only forsythia in the area to bloom yellow - the others around taylor road were more exposed... this was sheltered. ann Paul Stenquist wrote: I like the first one the most.

Hi troops. Wednesday we had some snow in the area. I really get a kick out of how the news stations play up 1-2 cm of snow these days. I know when we worked up north, unless they were calling for over a foot, nothing was ever mentioned, as its always snowing up there. Small snowfall and well over 1000 accidents in the GTA.

K10D mirror/shutter issues
Last night while shooting some products with the K10 I had the camera freeze up on me. Fully charged batteries and the camera in manual mode with the pop flash as a controler for two 540's. I went to fire the camera and the mirror went up and that was it. The mirror stayed up and the camera froze. It appeared (and sounded) as though the shutter never opened. None of the controls responded including the on/off switch. I had to remove the battery in order to unfreeze it. This happened twice. Anybody else have this issue? I've got nearly 7000 cycles on this shutter. Seems ok this morning and it was ok for the last part of the shoot last night. Wouldn't you know it, but the warranty expires this month. -Brendan Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

Re: PESO: Yaquina Light

Re: PESO: Yaquina Light

Light or heavy camera to diminish shake?
I've heard people claiming that a large, heavy camera may be better at controlling blur caused by handshake, since a light one is too easy to move. Is this true or complete nonsense? (A heavy camera should require more effort, therefore it should cause muscle fatigue and shake - at least naively, that's how things look.)

Re: Light or heavy camera to diminish shake?
It's simple physics, all things being equal, it's harder to impart movement to a larger mass. However too heavy a camera will cause fatigue which will cause the photographer to be more prone to shake, (among other things). Its a balancing act that depends on the photographer and his equipment.

I'm not sure I see what you mean, although, looking better, I think I do. I also do notice a lot of black contour at the right side of the plant. some of it maybe was already there, but it may have been exaggerated by the scaling during the import, I think. at least, in the original I do not notice it as much as in the web album version. it was automagically scaled by picasa iphoto export plugin. I shoot RAW+ and for the selection I sometimes exported the jpg and sometimes the raw, depending on what seemed to look better. I think this is indeed the jpg, think raws got _2 in the file name. I probably should have scaled (and cropped) myself before the export. (I'm learning :-) (think I also should calibrate my (quite recent) iMac monitor) Looking at the bug pic at this level of detail I now also see the purple fringing (I guess that it is), in the almost white flowery thing that points to the right and up. in the web galary it is maybe less visible; in the original it is. anyway, in all the bug shots focus is almost where I want it (on the eyes), but always slightly off. or maybe dof is just too shallow. there just seems not enough detail for the blowup I would like.

True, a heavy camera is easier to hand hold steadily. If you keep a camera at face level all the time, you might want to consider rethinking your habits if you are using truly heavy equipment, which Pentax 35mm body style based cameras are not. I can handhold a Pentax 6x7 at slower speeds than 35mm/non SR assisted digital.

As far as I can ascertain, USM and SWM motors cannot be used in lenses with both in-lens and in-body drive systems, that's why Pentax uses the small ultrasonic motor similar to the competitions Micro-USM motors. Whether this is poor implementation from a couple of decades ago or not is the question. Unfortunately, twenty five years ago when auto focus technology was being developed, Pentax was floating rather aimlessly in the marketplace, and was giving the general impression of not having an RD department. Anyway, what you were describing as a problem can be mostly fixed by turfing the cheap and slow lenses and buying better ones. I mostly use prime lenses, and really don't experience many problems with AF, with the major exception of when my dogs are running more or less straight at me. Pentax AF is pretty much on par with the AF from cameras in the same price league from the other manufacturers.

I'm not sure I see what you mean, although, looking better, I think I do. I also do notice a lot of black contour at the right side of the plant. Exactly, that's what I'm talking about. some of it maybe was already there, but it may have been exaggerated by the scaling during the import, I think. at least, in the original I do not notice it as much as in the web album version. it was automagically scaled by picasa iphoto export plugin. I shoot RAW+ and for the selection I sometimes exported the jpg and sometimes the raw, depending on what seemed to look better. I think this is indeed the jpg, think raws got _2 in the file name. I remember having read somewhere (I think it was a Pentax camera review on DPReview) that this is the technique that Pentax engineers have chosen for enhancing sharpness: adding a black contour around edges.

Re: Tele's
Ok, i took the 300 and the tele out today for another test. Its bright and sunny aswell. It worked great, at first, everything looked nicley focused. There is a *tiny* amount of play withthe tele on the camera, there was aswell on the istD IIRC. After i wiggled the tele back and forth, i started to get that OOF in the finder. It gets very close, but it looks like a soft fiulter is placed ovber the lens. Not sharp but just OOF enough to notice. Does this in AF and MF modes. Does this sound like a contac issue. I know the Sigma compatability page says its a MF telel only on the 300 F4, but ist af'd fine until now. I just realized i did not try the istD, only the K10 and PZ-1. I'll try the istD Monday.

When do you feel that you control handshake better: with the K10D or with the DS / K100D? (I'm mostly interested in low-light photography, that's why I'm asking.) A.

Very interesting what appeals to other eyes... !! :-) Thanks for all your comments. best, Godfrey On Nov 25, 2007, at 7:40 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: Godders - he means the out of focus reed in the background - top right bothered me, too.

I find the thick black stick is too distracting whether OOF or not. Tried getting rid of it and cropping a little off the top.

Re: PESO 2007 - 48b - GDG
Based on your and Paul's responses, and studying the photo a bit further, what I think works is to soften the intensity of the large dark twig by a bit to reduce its weight in the scene. That achieves the idea I had in mind. I've replaced the original with a revision... http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW7/48b.htm Further comments invited, of course. Thanks for all your comments! :-) best, Godfrey On Nov 25, 2007, at 9:44 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: seriously - the darkest thing in the photo is blurry - and it is on the right... so it kinda leaps out at you. if the foreground twigs had been blurry and the large twig sharp it perhaps might have worked ... For me it isn't that you used shallow DOF, but that what was not in focus overwhelmed the rest. -- 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: PESO 2007 - 48b - GDG
Thanks for your thoughts. I tried that mod and am not particularly fond of it, it loses the balance that I want. It's an elusive balance that I'm looking for, and the contrast of thin and thick are part of it. This particular photo just might not make it, but I'm having fun working it. :-) You can remove it, thank you. best Godfrey On Nov 25, 2007, at 9:51 PM, Paul Sorenson wrote: I find the thick black stick is too distracting whether OOF or not.
