An M8 with the nifty Voigtlander 28/1.9 Ultron would be perfect for your 
style, Godfrey. Gawn, you know you want it.

Thanks to everyone who commented. Frank was right. I was going for 
'grim' on the Annandale shot, but there was some black clipping. 
Lightened it up a touch.

Re: Convenient backpack: travel camera set + laptop - Fastpack250

[Amita Guha]

Thanks, Bob! This is very helpful.

Tenba is located in Westchester, probably a doable commuting distance
for me, and I've thought about approaching them about trying to get a
job or an internship there to see what the business is like, but I'd
be afraid of having to sign a noncompete agreement. :)

Re: PESO(s): Snowfountain Cherry

[Bob Sullivan]

Paul,
Cherry trees are a favorite.
2 came with the house we bought in Wisconsin.
28 years ago, I discovered orange birds working the cherry blossoms.
(While I sat with my baby son sleeping in my lap.)
They were Baltimore Orioles and it's the right time for them now!
We put out orange halves and would like to try jelly,
but have to figure out how to keep the squirrels and racoons away.
Regards,  Bob S.

PESO(s): Snowfountain Cherry

[Paul Stenquist]

I'm an avid gardener, and I have hundreds of trees, shrubs and  
perennials. But my Snowfountain Cherry tree is number one.  
Unfortunately, there's no real perfect shooting angle. It's in front  
of the house, so I can either shoot it with the bare trees across the  
street in the background or with the house in the background. This  
year I chose the former. So this is more about the tree than the  
photo. But It's a tree worth seeing. It produces literally thousands  
of blooms that extend nearly to the ground. (They would extend all  
the way to the ground save for the fact that the rabbits eat the  
branches:-). I've also included a tight shot of a bloom cluster. The  
tree was shot with the DA* 16-50 and flash fill, the branch ( a  
better shot)  with the DA* 50-135. Love the bokeh that lens delivers.

Re: K10D AF HEADS UP

[Paul Stenquist]

In terms of selecting a correct focal point, mIne appears to be right  
on the money as well, and it was a very early camera. But who knows  
what this revision is supposed to correct. One certainly can't learn   
much on the Pentax Forum. If it would raise the performance of the  
continuous autofocus to that of the K20, it would be a worthwhile  
revision.

Re: K10D AF HEADS UP

[Paul Stenquist]

If you have a problem with the K10D and the A50, it's something other  
than what's being discussed on the Pentax Forum. They're talking  
about autofocus accuracy or the lack of it. If the A50 won't focus,  
it's a mirror box alignment problem.

Re: OT: Slide Scanner

[Mishka]

the only problem with that is that they almost certainly screw it up.
or, at least, try to get away with minimum amount of work done.
it's kinda like doing prints at CVS vs. printing yourself.

c19/frame means that they will never even look at what comes up on
the screen

Hey, baby, I know who's who on the streets!  Only one of them (Pete)
is in my crew, but the others have been on the road for years - except
Maija, who's been on the road for nearly a year.  She may have been a
fakenger before she became a courier, but she's cute so we forgive
her...   ;-)

I've always thought that Leah is a beautiful woman.  Apparently, so do

Well, since we're taking a trip down memory lane, here's one of me and 
my motorcycle back in the days when I had hair:

http://www.robertstech.com/temp/24-hour.jpg

 From a scan of a print, shot with a Kodak disposable by some passer-by 
whom we drafted. Taken just a few minutes after the end of the 24-hour 
endurance race. I'm in the middle of the back row and my club t-shirt is 
darker than everyone else's because it's soaking wet - I'd just ridden 
the last shift (in 95-degree F weather). To my left, in cap and 
sunglasses, is Mike Hausknecht, one of our other riders. The other three 
riders are the guys squatting in front, Broderick Walker (I think the 
only guy in the photo without a beer in hand!), Tommy D'Ettorre and Rick 
Bair. All the rest of the people are our crew, volunteers, all.

BTW: *Real* motorcycles have number plates, clip-ons and ground-down 
nubbins for footpegs!

No Spackle needed no, butt crack showing, (though it was a lovely butt 
when she was walking around).  The thing she's perched on is a hard 
wooden object usually relegated to stand in for a small table, her 
boyfriend took the comfy pillow topped chair.

I think somewhere between the 2 would look best.

If you're using PS maybe try this:

Open the original, than overlay v2 over it. Adjust v2's blending mode
to hard light & reduce the layer opacity to around 35%.

Eating. It can be fun watching the rookie pie eater try not to spill
it all over them self.

I made the mistake of making steak & kidney pie once. I used to love
them, but handling kidneys cured me of that.

I hear that.

I'd love to visit the rellies in Canada more often, but I can't get
the amount of time off I want (not to mention the cost).

The wife used to use proper steak, cut up in smallish pieces, but lately

PESO -- Back Focus

[P. J. Alling]

The continuing discussion of back focus has gotten to me.  I've spent 
way too much time on this shot already, however I have an excellent 
example of back focus.  Taken in a smoky club last night.

http://www.mindspring.com/~distilfink/PESO%20--%20backfocus.html

Equipment:  Pentax *ist-Ds/smc Pentax FA 43mm f1.9 Limited

Note: A very long way for a very bad pun

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

So hows you pie technique?

Mrs Mac's are another fave of mine. I love their curry pies :-)

There is a local eatery/institution here in Fremantle that has been
around for 80+ years, and they make the best meat pies. With proper
steak & real gravy. Gawd they are good.

The lack of meat pies is a good reason to visit more often :-)

Cheers,

Dave

Re: OT: Slide Scanner

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I use a Nikon Coolscan IV ED that I bought from KEH.com a year or so  
back, used, for $235. It is an excellent performer.

To drive it: Nikon's software (which I don't use) is available for Mac  
OS X. I use Vuescan, which I like more (http://www.hamrick.com).

However, if you have a *huge amount* of 35mm film negatives and slides  
to scan ... read that more than 100 ... it is almost certainly worth  
having it done professionally at a good service rather than buying a  
film scanner. There's a place that was written up in one of the  
professional magazines recently (I can't remember the name or the  
magazine just at the moment ... I'll see if I can find it later on  
today) that does a very very good job (likely better than anything you  
can do with consumer grade equipment like the above), rapid  
turnaround, and charges 19 to 25 cents per scan. 1000 scans for $250  
will save you money on the scanner and many weeks of your time.

Probably not quite as ideal in terms of rider position, but you can  
use either of these if they're suitable:

Re: OT: Slide Scanner

[Adam Maas]

Unfortunately, the scanner you need to do that without severe pain
(the Nikon 5000 ED with the batch slide feeder attachment) will run
about 4 times your budget.

The Minolta Scan Dual III and IV scanners are good options in your
budget if you can find them used, but they have an unfortunate
tendency to die after 3-400 rolls worth of scanning (I speak from
experience here). Scanning with high-end flatbeds is an exercise in
frustration with 35mm, and the ones which can handle enough
slides/negs to make it worthwhile are around twice your budget (Epson
4990 or V700).

You might check out scancafe.com, they do scanning for around 19 cents
a frame for 3000dpi (approximate final resolution of 4500x3000).

Not interested... the focus with my K10D is right on the money, zero  
problems. It's a little pokey autofocusing in low light, but I just  
switch it to manual focus when the AF system gives up ... no problem  
with that.

Ship the heavy equipment and ride. The less you carry, the happier

My favorite is Mrs. Mac's.  Last visit to Oz I won the contest of who of 
my wife or myself would have the first and most meat pies.  I had a four 
and twenty at the MCG while watching an aussie rules match about an hour 
after we arrived in Melbourne (if I had driven there in a Holden, I 
would have had the 'stralian trifecta).  Sadly, we can't get meat pies 
here;  luckily the wife loves to cook so we make batches of 30 or more 
at a time and freeze them. mm

Re: K10D AF HEADS UP

Interesting. That might explain why my K20D outperforms my K10D. But  
I haven't noticed it as a focus accuracy problem. More as an ability  
to achieve fast lock on and good performance in continuous autofocus  
mode. From this Pentax Forum thread it's hard to determine what sort  
of issues are being resolved. (No suprise there.)

Re: First Paid Wedding Gig

[Igor Roshchin]

Jerome, may the Force be with you! :-)

One more advice: don't forget to make sure that the bride's
shoes are in the photos.
I was almost killed by my friend's wife when she couldn't find her
shoes on any photo from the first roll of film (this was 11 years ago).
I was rehabilitated by the subsequent roll. :-)

Good luck!

Yes, that's about the closest in FoV and the f/1.4 vs f/1.8 difference  
isn't much to speak of but it isn't as good a performer wide open. The  
FA43/1.9 Limited is closer in performance, I feel, albeit at a  
somewhat tighter FoV. The FA35/2 AL does pretty well too, but it is a  
full stop slower and isn't quite as good on rendering out of focus  
elements.

There's a reason the FA43 now lives almost permanently on the K10D  
body... ! ;-) I hope the upcoming 30mm f/1.4 SDM will come up to this  
standard.

When Erin and James bring my K10D back next week, i'll be able to send
it back with the DAF 50 and have them look at it.

Seems to be ok with the FA 100, so it may just be my error in manual
focusing the A50, but i can really see it in the DAF 50

Re: K10D AF HEADS UP

[P. J. Alling]

Now I'm really glad I decided to skip the K10 generation, (not enough IQ 
improvement from 10mp vs 6mp to justify replacing one or both of my 
*ist-D[x]s).  Since I do most of my shooting in manual focus I would 
probably not have noticed the back focus problem until after the 
guarantee had expired.  I guess being cheap pays extra dividends...
