Re: Netbook doubles as an imagetank
LR 2.3 runs snappy on the little machine. In the next days I will import (all) my PEF files from the desktop to see if and when it crashes. Tagging and sorting should be no problem. The screen and LED backlight isn't good enough for serious editing or calibrating. Only problem I noticed is the small screen, with 1024x600 some dialog boxes like import don't fit properly. The OK button is out of reach (pressing enter works). Running LR on a small screen is surprisingly functional. Just press F to run it fullscreen and collapse several panels. For trips I plan to drop a small external USB drive in the bag for daily backup of the photos. Toine 2009/5/13 Tim Øsleby maritim...@gmail.com: That,s definitely an interesting idea.

Re: EVFs ...
Wrong argument Godfrey, with such low lighting ratios, the contrast of the scene is dominantly determined by the white to black ratio of the subject, this will be a lot higher otherwise it would result in a very dull picture, it can be higher than even the human eye can cover. Did I understand well, that the ease of manual focussing is not because the view finder is so super bright or clear etc, but more because of the strong focusing aid? I can immagen that that could be a basic advantage of a electronic view finder system over a pure optical system. As the effectiveness of optical systems depend very much on aperture and focal length of the lens Greetz, Jos Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: BTW, you're worried about 250:1 lighting ratios? When doing color portraiture, you normally work with lighting ratios in the 3:1 average, 6:1 for BW. I don't see how that kind of extreme lighting ratio is of any real interest at all.

PESO Lake Michigan Waves
Hi Everyone: I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics, but this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very interesting mainly because I didn't time the shots right or the wave didn't turn out as dramatic as I thought it might or the composition was uninteresting. Getting all of the aforementioned just right at the same time was hard. Birds were everywhere as well--so I cleaned up the sky quite a bit--lots of blurry black spots polluting that drab looking sky :-). I found shooting waves quite a challenge. I tried to use all my senses to anticipate where the big splashes might be but it often didn't work out. I tried to rely on hearing, but it seemed the louder and incoming wave was the less interesting was the splash when it hit the shore :-). If anyone has any tips, I'd be grateful. I probably should try this again with an ND filter, no? Also, I'd be interested in knowing which crop you prefer--I've cropped the jogger out of the 2nd pic. Anyway, comments/critique welcome--I could use some help in shooting this subject. http://faculty.ccc.edu/caguila/waves/index.html Cheers, Christine -- 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: EVFs ...
Boris, I have a little more 645 experience and agree about the finder. Also still use 35mm cameras, mostly the Mx and have used the Lx since early 1982. I think those are among the better optical finders. Ever. Yes, did try F2, F3, owned and used F1n. Make mine optical. While I'm still to test the G1, I never found any EVF so far that would hold a candle to the above. I understand the G1 has some marvel finder - but to this day there is no better finder than a good quality, top end SLR. Losing to the open rangefinder in light transmission, but offering the actual view of the lens, real time. Did I mention filter effect? Focusing aids apart - I don't particularly enjoy the split/ micro center, find the rangefinder's window distracting, and can't comment those eletronic tricks to enhance the image. What I really wish is using my eyes to see what's beyond the lens. No lag, no artificial light levels, no mutated colors. Useful information sometimes - but not my preferred view. LF Boris Liberman escreveu: Godfrey, I find your last remark (I've put '*'s around it) most interesting. I should be alert on any opportunity to try modern EVF system for manual focusing. Presently I doubt your assessment, but I haven't yet witnessed any modern EVF system, only older ones. I find Pentax 645NII viewfinder to be the best I have ever tried, but I sure need more experience with those EVF systems. Again, you're making your conclusion based on practical shooting en masse using all the systems you listed. I am talking more based on general comfort of my eyes. I've made two-digit number of shots with Pentax 645NII (20-30 or so) and they all came out in focus, but it is too small a sample. For my K10D I have OptiBrite Katz Eye screen and that magnifier thingie by Pentax. Seemingly this is the best one could get for their K10D camera. It is not bad, but it obviously it could be better. Naturally, main problem is to tell when out of focus - in focus transition happens... Let all our viewfinders be bright...

ot, but still pentax-related: an apology
No, it's not about the joke on Boris... I have just finished a tough project, and the last few days I simply skimmed the PDML daily looking for specific bits that would allow me to get the most out of my current photo gear in the photographic part of said project. The interesting part is the best way to complete the job is keeping 35mm cameras and some rolls of high iso film nearby. And that includes an old camera capable of 72 low quality shots per roll, something most unusual in working condition but already procured. ;-) Special thanks for all who posted samples, experiences, ideas and even biased theories about the possible or impossible use of DA lenses in 35mm. After the first and hasty question I found a large and precious amount of information, needed fast because I had a strict deadline to present my project. I won't lie - the project I submitted will not be performed with Pentax gear. Not because the other brand is better, but because it's cheaper and quicker to buy the rest of the needed gadgets from the other brand. Wich is also easier to sell after the project is completed - assuming of course the cameras will survive a hot, dusty, isolated environment. Possible. All needed parts are currently available here, some are already home. Buying Pentax would allow me to use some items I already own, and keep the extras at the end of the service. But that would mean yet more tangle with BR customs, shipping rates, actual availability of the lens - and still face the possible wear due to harsh conditions. I would not save something in the buying phase, and would not be selling after. Buying, using and than selling the other brand looks strange, but I'll possibly lose close to nothing as I already own the film camera and will not be keeping it after the job is done. I'll be still watching for the best 35mm coverage in my new Pentax lenses, as I'm still keeping some 35mm cameras nearby. But this job - assuming I get the green light, there are others trying and mine is unusual for sure - is going to be a dark side job. The apology?? Almost forgot... :-) I simply didn't try to keep up with your galleries and photos - and I'm not happy bout it. Too much stress, too little free time. That's changing from now on, hopefully. Your photos (and videos) are very important for me - for some dark time they helped to keep what (little, but some) sanity I have. Thanks, friends. That's all, folks. I just felt you should know a little more about the quest for the 35mm lens coverage, and why I didn't comment - and watched - your photos as usual, lately. Do keep some fingers crossed for my project... :-) LF -- Luiz Felipe luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br http://techmit.com.br/luizfelipe/ -- 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: Netbook doubles as an imagetank
Me, too. I use an Acer w/a 120GB HD. The optical drive would be a nice addition, but I just picked up a 320GB portable HD for about 70USD which works well for additional storage. The Acer has two SD slots and three USB ports so even flash drives for additional storage are viable options. The last wedding I did I used FastStone to do some quick and dirty editing.

I like the size of the netbooks (10 screen seems a good compromise) but I'd prefer something with the DVD built in.

Re: EVFs ...too much engery consumption?
Well, the optical finders really are close to battery free, depending on the amout of zooming - and assuming the finder as zoom-capable. Taking DSLRs into account, the EVF replaces the entire mirror assembly, wich would present some battery use when winding - after each shot. Add some other bits saved and it is possible to close the gap somewhat. LF JC OConnell escreveu: wouldnt an EVF camera eat batteries even worse than flash?

Re: PESO Lake Michigan Waves
That's good Christine! Nice timing, I like the composition - to the point I miss the shoreline in the second crop, even as I don't particularly enjoy the dark clad person. I don't have particularly interesting waves shot, but in my attempts I found some rithm present in all cases, with the incoming waves overlapping with the reflected, to some huge splashes when the interference is ok. Getting the splash right is another story, even if you predict wich waves are going to be better.

Re: Netbook doubles as an imagetank
As cheap as memory cards are (taking into account that they are reusable), you could just copy the cards to the netbook and then mail the card home. That would save you the extra step of toting around a DVD burner, and the DVDs. Plus I'm guessing it might be a bit cheaper to mail an sd card compared to a DVD.

Re: Netbook doubles as an imagetank
Last trip I used 2 - 8Gb cards and a single 16GB card. Downloaded these to my laptop, but didn't erase until I backed them up at home.

OT - Ring My Bell
My little show was pushed up by a week (I found this out late last week), so I was in Toronto's city hall until late last night mounting and hanging and changing my mind and hanging in a different order and changing my mind again... But as of this morning all 18 prints were hanging in the west rotunda of city hall (just in case any of you are going to be in that area over the next week or so). They'll be there until May 21. I decided to go with the collection of bicycle bells (I posted them here a while ago), but I added some new ones and deleted a few. Over the next day or so I'll put them in a little online gallery so you can take a look if you're interested. It's still kinda cool looking at actual prints as opposed to something on a computer screen. It's also pretty cool to have stuff hanging up where people can see them... 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.

Re: Netbook doubles as an imagetank
Imported 700 K20D PEF in LR without any problems. Runs as smooth as my big desktop. Rendering previews takes more time as expected with a small atom cpu. This netbook has 2Gb which makes all the difference. Also discovered I can set the resilotion to 1024x768 which enables scrolling but all the dialog boxes are visible. I don't see any problems. Next experiment is thetered shooting with the netbook with pentax remote assistant and LR auto import.

Re: PESO Lake Michigan Waves
Nice captures, but I pick the first cause you gave the seawall more room to the RH edge. Nice use of the seawall as a lead in/out of the image. It could do with less of that blank sky also. Kenneth Waller http://www.tinyurl.com/272u2f - Original Message - From: Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net Subject: PESO Lake Michigan Waves Hi Everyone: I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics, but this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very interesting mainly because I didn't time the shots right or the wave didn't turn out as dramatic as I thought it might or the composition was uninteresting. Getting all of the aforementioned just right at the same time was hard. Birds were everywhere as well--so I cleaned up the sky quite a bit--lots of blurry black spots polluting that drab looking sky :-). I found shooting waves quite a challenge. I tried to use all my senses to anticipate where the big splashes might be but it often didn't work out. I tried to rely on hearing, but it seemed the louder and incoming wave was the less interesting was the splash when it hit the shore :-). If anyone has any tips, I'd be grateful. I probably should try this again with an ND filter, no? Also, I'd be interested in knowing which crop you prefer--I've cropped the jogger out of the 2nd pic. Anyway, comments/critique welcome--I could use some help in shooting this subject. http://faculty.ccc.edu/caguila/waves/index.html Cheers, Christine -- 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: OT: Ten Tips for Shooting People
There's only one tip that counts when shooting people: Make sure you get them with the first shot, so they don't have a chance to return fire. Any other rules are just window dressing.
