Re: Square sensor, was Re: Pentax K7
It's fairly easy. Start with the regular tiling of the plane by hexagons. Now inscribe a circle in each hexagon (so you end up with rows of circles, with alternate rows staggered by half width). A little simple mathematics shows that the area of each circle is just over 90% of the area of the circumscribed hexagon.

PESO - Dicentra excimia
Sunday morning my wife excitedly told me that the Bleeding Hearts were out so I took a look in the back garden where she indicated. I peered at the small shapeless lumps and said that I couldn't see anything interesting about them at all.

Re: Won't wait
Sorry, but I feel I should point out... No matter what link you have to your ISP and how profee is my host, if your big brother won't talk directly to mine your questions and my answers may end up circling the globe twice by means of clogged wires, so there may be issues even if your ISP and my host use faster-than-wombat drives. On old days of radiotalk, there was a mindset that would look for the faintest and most obscure contact, or for those cases of extraordinary access to places by means of usually impossible frequencies. I still suffer from that mindset now and then, and wait a little longer just because I hope (not always get) it's content is worth the wait. Building an audience is part of a human drive - comunication. Some even learn foreign, strange languages to try a longer reach. Not me, I'm lazy... But any effort made to reach out is first that and I would still take the effort into consideration. Of course there is also the content. I really respect your decision and your ideas (even while I disagree). There were lots of galleries I just didn't visit out of little time or being sad or angry, and I will be doing that again every time my time is limited - or I get in a foul enough mood. But on and everyday basis, I wait sometime. Hardly I get disappointed. LF Tim Bray escreveu: The main reason I subscribe, not that I want to disparage the wit witticisms, nor indeed the hardware lore, is those every-so-often things, you know, with pixels in them.

So whatever your hosting setup is, if I click on the PESO link and the screen on my browser doesn't have a picture on it Pretty Damn Quick, I'm not waiting. For those of you have personal audiences who'll wait for your crippled-wombat-driven server because they're your Mom or boyfriend or grad student or whatever, that's fine, but if you're trying to build an audience (and I acknowledge that many aren't, and that's fine), you just gotta have a snappy server.

Hey, there's truly something in this picture! The eye contact, the different hair, clothing and stance of the young girls (have you noticed how the one on the far lefts stands out of the crowd?) and all the rest raise a lot of questions, so the picture asks for prolonged attention.

Re: I need a smallish monopod
My current monopod is a local job, probably too long anyway since it's a four section, but a proper ball head makes much difference - so either take the head price into consideration or choose carefully one you already have. I usually carry my tripods - and the mono - either with shoulder straps or soft cases. Maybe you could fix one of your current monopods to the outside of the backpack until you get the new one?

Re: PESOs Metcalf Rd
The tree is too blue for me (never tought I would say that about blues), but that's probably because you're too long into the night. The last two are my faves. The barn - the flowers worked better agains the more blurred barn, I'd try one with more DOF and fight the wind on the flowers, at least as a test. The one with the blurred lights is very interesting, but I'd try a longer blur, maybe a flash with second-curtain sync and low power... against the radar sign. Even if it's plain sunlight, you never get exactly the same result - ever. At least, in my experience. Trying is fun, so... keep shooting. LF Larry Colen escreveu: Tree at dusk: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3473744601/in/set-72157617314321580/ I stopped to shoot the lights of South San Jose at dusk, and turned around to see the tree silhouetted against the sky. The shots I stopped for didn't turn out like I had hoped, but the tree was fun. A little while earlier, I had stopped to shoot an old barn: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3473799297/in/set-72157617223038203/ The impetus for the drive was another attempt at the horses on San Felipe rd.

Re: Square sensor, was Re: Pentax K7
...one thing we agree for sure - that line feed from next dimension has returned. While we get the more of the image circle area with a square cut, we also get the less possible one-way coverage... meaning less elbow room in family pics and more auntie legs - and carpet, and ceiling... Personal taste - that's where the real discussion about square or retangular formats lies. I used both formats while young, and like the retangular a little more, for average situations. Personal taste. Square types are welcome, as long as the content fits. One of my issues with the hassel was the vertical waste on many of my photos with the 66 back. Glad I had the 645 for those prints... Rather than a possible but not probable square, I'd wonder about an alternate APS size that would perhaps be covered by the current image circle of the lenses. Maybe even with an extraterrorestrial algorithm to correct the light fall-off in the corners. Maybe enough to push current 14mp to 16+ without breaking too many eggs. LF (ok, just another wild theory) William Robb escreveu: - Original Message - From: JC OConnell Subject: RE: Square sensor, was Re: Pentax K7 SQUARE has two huge advantages: 1. No need to rotate camera for portrait orientation if using a cropped retanglular subset of the square 2. More efficient usage of the lens image circle if and when the full square image is used. The key to making #1 advantage work is to have a specailly marked or masked viewfinder/film-sensor-software gate Regarding #2, with the small circle DA lenses, you could achieve higher overall image resolution with the full square format because you would be recording more of the image circle. There are cons of course to square format, biggest of which is you end up with a larger heavier camera than you need if you never use the full square format. Most of the old pro boys that I know cut their teeth with square format cameras, either Hassies or Rollieflexes. Generally, they say that once you learn how to take advantage of the square format, there is just no going back to rectangular prints. Now, to be fair, these guys are all portraitists, but a couple of them are award winning landscape photographers using the square format. I actually quite like the square format. I have an easier time composing on the 4x5 and 6x7 than 2:3 cameras, I think in part because the format is closer to square. We're back to carriage return hell, BTW.
