RE: PESO - Pelicans' Pause
Thanks Bob. Taronga Zoo is quite good at providing habitat for water birds. It's easy to forget that these birds are free to come and go as they please, they tolerate human proximity so much more than wild birds even though they are in fact wild birds. Once I had seen the potential shot with two birds roosted and one giving itself its last preening of the day, it was a simple matter of waiting for the inevitable lineup to form with no danger of them spooking and taking flight. I agree about the oars which have been art-directed into a permanently fixed position, but it is a created display and not a real coastline as it seems.

smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 last shots with K100D Super
http://roman.blakout.net/?blog=20080516134346 ^^^ I'd lusted after this lense for over a year but something else always came in. Now, knowing K20D CMOS sensor reads diagonal light of FA lenses I'd decided to buy this 1.4 fast prime and here goes few samples, probably just emphasizing on its beautiful bokeh. FA 50mm is kinda soft full open, with few pixel wide soft cast but it's gone by f/2.0 and lense is sharpest at f/5.6 - 8.0. Light is very well controlled and level of aberrations is insignificant. Now I found my new favorite lense. Shame it took ages to finally find it. Perhaps expectancy of FF pentax body in December 2008 / January 2009 had contributed a bit to my decision to purchase full frame lense here. Your comments are welcome, as always.

Re: smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 last shots with K100D Super
What surprises me is the line: price of the lense (most expensive standard prime in its class, besides Zeiss of course) Are we talking about the Pentax SMC FA 50mm f1.4? That's the cheapest in it's class (Nikon's being close). FYI the prices (in GBP... source: Ebay.co.uk): Canon 50mm f1.4 - ~165 pounds Nikon 50mm f1.4 - ~135 pounds Pentax 50mm f1.4 - ~130 pounds Canon 50mm f1.8 - ~60 pounds Nikon 50mm f1.8 - ~50 pounds The only thing Pentax is 'missing' is an 50mm f1.8 lens... but the price of the f1.4/50mm is fairly low IMHO. And I had the Canon f1.8 50mm in my hands... cheap and plastic. I really disliked that lens. A friend of mine sold his because it was extremely soft at f1.8, yet I heard no real complains about the FA f1.4/50mm. The two reason I am not considering to buy this lens is: my Porst 55mm/f1.2 MF lens and my dream to get my hands on an FA 77mm f1.8 :D The FA77's Bokeh... is a dreeeaaam :D .t http://roman.blakout.net/?blog=20080516134346 ^^^ I'd lusted after this lense for over a year but something else always came in.

20 Pentax lenses tested on K20D by Chasseur D'images
Anyone owning a K20D should buy this magazine IMO. Lots of optics tested here: from FA* 27-70/2.8, FA*85/1.4 to all Limiteds, DA*, the new DA17-70 SDM etc... Most lenses are quite good and a couple numbers simply excellent !! Talking about recent lenses: - DA 17-70 SDM: it is good, vingettes a lot at 17 but it very nice upgrade over the kit lens. They say there's no focus touch up (!! to be confirmed) but there's indeed weather sealing. They do not say if it is SDM-only but I think so. - DA*200/2.8: excellent !! - DA*300/4: excellent !! - DA35/2.8 macro: excellent ! DA* 50-135 and DA* 16-50/2.8: centering defects but otherwise very good. A lot more lenses tested, you should really buy this magazine. More when I can buy one. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

Better Beamer any good at birds?
I'm not very fond of using flash. I nearly never do. But lately I have tried using some fill from the K20D built in flash, and the results does not look too bad. At the moment I don't have any other falshes that are compatible with the K20D. And I tend to beleave I need an advanced flash for what I want to do. I have also found an old Hama of camera flash bracket at the bottom of my closet. I have read some good things about the Better Beamer used to make fill flash in birding.http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/better_beamer.shtml The pictures of that page does nott look very convinsing, but the article made me think. There might be an triple enablement coming, new flash and a the BB and something to trigger the flash in the bracket. But I have also read some bad things about the BB. Those who are negative says it makes flat light, and that this destroyes the details of the feather. That makes sense to me, since the BB makes very direct light. The bracket might help a bit, but at large distances it is still very direct. As I understand the trick is to understand the limitations of the tool, and don't to use the flash as man light source, more as discrete fill, to make the picture pop. This is what my experiments with the built in flash tells me. Am I on the right track here? Being a flash novice I really need some help to decide. I beleave someone here has used some kind of flash extender in birding. Paul maybe? I would not be surpriced if some of the lsit birders actually knows something about this. I am also sure somebody who has no idea could give me some input too :-) Links, babble, or personal wisdom, your choice ;-) I could off cource just by one to try it out myself. But I have no place to buy it here, so that includes shipping, dealing with VAT and all that. I don't have much money to waste at the moment. -- MaritimTim -- 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: smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 last shots with K100D Super
- Original Message - From: Roman Melihhov Subject: smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 last shots with K100D Super http://roman.blakout.net/?blog=20080516134346 ^^^ I'd lusted after this lense for over a year but something else always came in. Now, knowing K20D CMOS sensor reads diagonal light of FA lenses I'd decided to buy this 1.4 fast prime and here goes few samples, probably just emphasizing on its beautiful bokeh. FA 50mm is kinda soft full open, with few pixel wide soft cast but it's gone by f/2.0 and lense is sharpest at f/5.6 - 8.0. Light is very well controlled and level of aberrations is insignificant. Now I found my new favorite lense. Shame it took ages to finally find it. Perhaps expectancy of FF pentax body in December 2008 / January 2009 had contributed a bit to my decision to purchase full frame lense here. Your comments are welcome, as always. It's one of my favourite lenses as well. In Canada it was not a terribly expensive lens, I think I paid just under $Can200.00 for a new one.

This one is lovely, right in the centre of town (as they always seemed to be), with a church steeple peeking up from the superstructure. I like it a lot.

Re: PESO -- Grand Avenue Bridge II was [Re: PESO -- Grand Avenue Bridge]
It's a swing bridge, and is slated for renovation sometime in the next two years, (as soon as they finish rebuilding the bridge about 1/2 mile down river). I usually fear for these old monuments as the results have been about 50% complete removal and replacement. The entire road parallel to the river at that point is slated to be changed from 2 lanes to 4. Now mind you this is to handle the increased traffic, which was wholly the result of the other bridge being reconstructed... Bob Sullivan wrote: Peter, That's a much better look at the bridge.

Re: Better Beamer any good at birds?
Tim, I don't think you can go much wrong with the BetterBeamer. Thanks for the tip... :-) I'm no expert practitioner of fill flash with wildlife. From my modest use I've found the compensation adjustment from the Fn-button back on the K10D to be pretty neat. At least compared to all the messing around I did before. Your main investment will be a P-TTL enabled flash. Even with the BB, it seems like a good idea to look for as high a guide number as your money can buy. Whether it says Sigma or Pentax probably doesn't matter much re: functionality. I believe you're quite right about what you can expect from this kind of flash use. It will be the little extra in the animal portraits, to bring out the glint in the eye, to lift shadows from sharp to acceptable, that sort of thing. Can also be used in combination with long exposure times to fix a demonic eye-glint in a motion-blurred animal, for example. As for flat light, I'd say that sounds like the usual webforum whine from people with too high-strung expectations and low-wired knowledge. I've produced that sort of images more often than not myself, but I know it's not the equipment's fault. Fill flash just won't save your ass in all light situations. Just in some. Jostein 2008/5/20 Tim Øsleby [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm not very fond of using flash. I nearly never do. But lately I have tried using some fill from the K20D built in flash, and the results does not look too bad. At the moment I don't have any other falshes that are compatible with the K20D. And I tend to beleave I need an advanced flash for what I want to do. I have also found an old Hama of camera flash bracket at the bottom of my closet. I have read some good things about the Better Beamer used to make fill flash in birding.http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/better_beamer.shtml The pictures of that page does nott look very convinsing, but the article made me think. There might be an triple enablement coming, new flash and a the BB and something to trigger the flash in the bracket. But I have also read some bad things about the BB. Those who are negative says it makes flat light, and that this destroyes the details of the feather. That makes sense to me, since the BB makes very direct light. The bracket might help a bit, but at large distances it is still very direct. As I understand the trick is to understand the limitations of the tool, and don't to use the flash as man light source, more as discrete fill, to make the picture pop. This is what my experiments with the built in flash tells me. Am I on the right track here? Being a flash novice I really need some help to decide. I beleave someone here has used some kind of flash extender in birding. Paul maybe? I would not be surpriced if some of the lsit birders actually knows something about this. I am also sure somebody who has no idea could give me some input too :-) Links, babble, or personal wisdom, your choice ;-) I could off cource just by one to try it out myself. But I have no place to buy it here, so that includes shipping, dealing with VAT and all that.

Re: 20 Pentax lenses tested on K20D by Chasseur D'images
I'm curious - what is a centering defect Photozone shows a flaw in the DA* 200 - purple fringing. Bad enough for me to avoid it. Unfortunately the DA* 200mm f/2.8 has quite a problem regarding purple fringing. Purple fringing is a blooming effect that occurs at extreme contrast transitions. The camera sensor has surely a few stakes in here but the effect is also dependent on the lens. . -- John Mustarde Paris, TX -- 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: Better Beamer any good at birds?
hey Tim; I pretty much use a betterbeamer (actually a kirk flash x-tender; same thing) on almost every bird shot I make. Fill flash for birds really helps fill in shadows, highlight the feathers and give better texture and detail. It also gives you nice catchlights in the eyes. My normal procedure is to set the camera to manual exposure, dial in an ambient reading for exposure with the aperture I want and use the flash compensation to lower the flash's output. Typically I'll shoot with a -1 to -2.5 flash compensation depending on subject and ambient light. Most of the time I'm using high speed sync so I can have fast shutter speeds when conditions are right. Keep in mind that I use a Canon DSLR but Pentax should have the same sorts of settings. Also, if you are serious about using flash on birds and wildlife in general, get whatever the newest Pentax P-TTL flash is. I went looking for an example of high speed sync with the camera in manual mode and couldn't find one on my only working web gallery... oh well, here is one in aperture priority with a normal shutter speed 1/200: Pyrrhuloxia (Cardinalis sinuatus) http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic/2d202SU7xah202JL7C4tZUZ-gwvVcuOkdY8rv4xQp5Fd3Ig=_l.jpg I think the details speak for themselves in regards to the flat lighting argument.

Re: Better Beamer any good at birds?
Thank you for your input and the quick tutorial. Yes you are right. That's totally unacceptable, the feathers are completely washed out:-) One more thing while I have you here Christian. Or two actually :-) Do you think my on camera Hama flashbracket (raises flash about two inches above, and swings it out about seven inches) will do, or do I need to look for a solution that mounts the flash at the gimbal mount (Manfrotto 393). Flash brackets for the Manfrotto mount are impossible to find, so I've got to make one myself if needed. I've also been thinking on how the birds react on the flash. I've heard that most birds don't seem to care. What about shy and threatened birds, is that a no no, generally speaking.

Re: 20 Pentax lenses tested on K20D by Chasseur D'images

Re: Better Beamer any good at birds?
There might be an triple enablement coming, new flash and a the BB and something to trigger the flash in the bracket. Pentax made some hot-shoe adapters that might do the job - website[1] only mentions older cameras with them, but the adapters seem to have the three contacts seen on recent cameras. however, cost of two adapters + connecting cable might be non-trivial.

So, I started a blog and there ARE pictures that I took with my Pentax cameras so I figure a little self promotion is alright. http://houseaudioguy.blogspot.com/ It's mainly about the job I have and the interesting things that happen behind the scenes of the events we put on. I trust that one or two of you will let me know if it's complete crap (off-list please) Thanks you for looking.

RE: GESO: Orange Peel
it's difficult to say whether these are successful or not without knowing more about the brief. In most of them the chair seems lost against the background. 4 and 8 are better than the rest, but I don't really see the point of setting the chair in that context. If she's studying interior design why has she put an indoor chair outdoors? Also, the pictures don't show much evidence of having been 'styled'. Typically when I think of a stylist being involved in a shoot she is normally there to make the food or clothes look right within the scene that the art director has directed and the photographer has shot. For interior design I imagine the stylist is making sure that the details of the set are correct - for instance, that the curtains are hanging properly, the chairs are at the correct angle, the mirrors are clean, and so on. However, this is not my world, so maybe I'm completely wrong.

Re: Better Beamer any good at birds?
Here in Norway that solution is pretty expensive. The complete set costs about the same as the AF-200FG flash. IMO thats way to expensive for a cable. So I hope there is a cheaper alternative out there. MaritimTim 2008/5/20 Axel Belinfante [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There might be an triple enablement coming, new flash and a the BB and something to trigger the flash in the bracket. Pentax made some hot-shoe adapters that might do the job - website[1] only mentions older cameras with them, but the adapters seem to have the three contacts seen on recent cameras. however, cost of two adapters + connecting cable might be non-trivial.

Re: GESO: Airshow
Hi Frank. We're also quite accustomed to seeing these Canadair bombers down here flying around Marseille. They have quite a few of them based at the Marseille Provence Airport, and they operate in all southern France and neighbor countries during the hot months of summer. I've seen them working on forest fires several times (including twice scaringly close to my house), and I must say these guys have guts. The rest of the year, we still can see them occasionally while training. From my office at La Ciotat, I have a panoramic view over the bay, where they often come scooping. Some great photo shooting opportunities, too, although I always feel ill at ease shooting while people are seeing their home burning. By the way, I've written down the plane and team names in my gallery...

I'd recognize it anywhere (even France). They made those less than a kilometre from where I lived as a kid. Canadair ended up being taken over by Bombardier and now that factory is an empty field. I used to see those waterbombers flying over my house all the time. Anyway, those are all great photos! My only desire would be identification of the airplanes.
