What's the lists thoughts on using expired ink? And what exactly goes "off"? As the ink ages, it can dry out and prove unreliable in use. But beyond due date, if only a few months, shouldn't be a problem. I had a printing project today for an exhibition I've been accepted into. Printing to 13x19 inch Velvet Fine Art ... $3.50 a sheet. First time I've had any problems at all with the R2400. Ultimately it turned out the Matte Black ink cartridge was failing, but it wasn't clear what was happening and cost me something like ten sheets of paper trying to suss it out before the cartridge went belly up and lit its replace light. These four prints are the most expensive four prints I've made in four years!

I shoot pretty much the same way, and with the same or more amount of
time spent, as I did with film. With the digital camera, I can check
for whether I got the focus right and analyze the exposure with the
histogram using the review or Live View functions, which means I'll
tend to spend even more time per frame.
I make about the same number of mistakes too, darn it. ;-)

Re: GESO - Pentax Optio W60 images
Hi Brendan, great shots! I reviewed / tested W60 this summer and liked it pretty much. Overall picture quality is clearly better than W30 (especially at higher ISOs), but the lens seems not as sharp as 43WR. Damn, I still miss that "brick"... However - I do not like the W60 body design. IMO, WP to W30 were better. Plastic instead of metal, freaky tripod socket placement and shy flash (tried to hide itself behind my finger all the time...). BR, Margus Brendan MacRae wrote: I promised a gallery of watch images with the new Optio W60. These are just a few from the last two batches. I shoot on black paper now instead of the white. It gives a moodier feel but my client likes it. This camera definately has better dynamic range than the W10. Highlights are easier to tame vs. the W10 which is a shot-to-shot issue when working with shiny metals and reflecting crystals. So, that and the increased 10MP resolution, the ability to focus down to 1 cm (without the lens protruding from the camera), and a better LCD make the camera a real winner. All of these images are ISO 100 and handheld. Oh yeah, and it shoots video underwater. http://www.primelensphoto.com/Pentax_Optio_W60/index.html -Brendan __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Indeed. Nate bought me my first dSLR, the *istD, because he saw me deliberately not taking shots in order to conserve film. (I was out of work at the time.)

Re: Photowalking with a Digital Native
Agree. As usually, there is no complete black or white. I think that a mixture of spontaneity with some habits acquired by thinking before (of after) shooting may be a good compromise, specially when one applies that habit in a unconscious way that seems...spontaneous. Regards, Jaume, who today learned the meaning of 'tyro' - Mensaje original De: frank theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Enviado: lunes, 27 de octubre, 2008 17:48:54 Asunto: Re: Photowalking with a Digital Native On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 12:37 PM, Jaume Lahuerta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I remember when digital was starting, some praised film because "with film > you don't just shoot as if you were using a machine gun but you think before > acting..." > > Well, obviously this is an outdated discourse... > ;-) I'm sure I was one of those who thought that and I think there's still a great deal of validity to the notion. When film was a precious commodity, one had to be more deliberate and thoughtful about the whole process, which is a good thing. However not worrying so much about the outcome and being more carefree about when and what to shoot may yield a lower "keeper" rate, but there is more spontaneity and serendipity in one's shots, which I think is just as valuable as being more pedantic and careful. I guess the thing is to know when to be deliberate and when to "let go" and fire away at will. For a tyro, shooting at will is bound to raise confidence, because out of hundreds of shots, there are few to be a few gems, which may be all s/he needs to keep going! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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. -- 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.

When film was a precious commodity, one had to be more deliberate and thoughtful about the whole process, which is a good thing. However not worrying so much about the outcome and being more carefree about when and what to shoot may yield a lower "keeper" rate, but there is more spontaneity and serendipity in one's shots, which I think is just as valuable as being more pedantic and careful. I guess the thing is to know when to be deliberate and when to "let go" and fire away at will. For a tyro, shooting at will is bound to raise confidence, because out of hundreds of shots, there are few to be a few gems, which may be all s/he needs to keep going! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.

Frank -- yeah - good stuff... very Erwittian!

Geso - Shameless self promotion
I put the images for one of my 2009 calendars up on smugmug... with a link from there to the cafepress page where they are for sale. it is called "VERY PUZZLING" http://tinyurl.com/3tn5e6 http://annsan.smugmug.com/gallery/4658820_rZLQn#403148131_PXGqy It ain't what you might expect :-) but I'm very happy to get comments. Now that this obsession of mine is done, I can work on my black and white Paris stuff.
