Oh, I read the original article in the newspaper 'El Periodico'.

Re: Construction IV
Hi Christine. Off the two you inquired about, I prefer the tighter crop, #8. As far as dust, my gear, and I, got our fair share at the horse shows. What i did, and i'm sure its wrong, was to dampen a face cloth, let it dry to the point it feels almost dry, and gently rub the out sides of the camera and lenses. The cloth is just damp enough to pick up the dust, but dry enough not to get any water on the camera and or lens.

Paul On Jul 18, 2009, at 7:09 AM, AlunFoto wrote: Better quantified this time. Yesterday I took stance on a bridge above a highway, and photographed large trucks coming towards me. The speed limit at this place is 100 km/h, and on top of a gentle slope. I shot series of each truck, and have tallied the percentage of out-of-focus shots from each series. The cameras were set to: - SR on for shots with DA*300, shot freehand - SR off for shots with FA*600, shot from tripod - AF-C, multipoint - ISO 800 - Av-mode (aperture set to f/8) - DNG file format. Focus was judged by 100% view in Adobe Bridge CS4 without rawfile conversion. I took a conservative attitude, judging anything that wasn't perfectly sharp on the car front as mis-focused. I typically looked at details in the grille (hope it's the right word?) or the number plate. Between each series I allowed the camera to save all files before commencing a new series, to make sure camera speed was not held back by a full buffer. K20D + DA*300/4: 13% mis-focused, averaged over 9 series K-7 + DA*300/4: 7% mis-focused, averaged over 7 series K20D + FA*600/4: 43% mis-focused, averaged over 7 series K-7 + FA*600/4: 25% mis-focused, averaged over 11 series Each series held between 10 and 19 shots. Both lenses are focus-calibrated with the K20D, but not with the K-7. I therefore suspect that the K-7 results could be somewhat improved. There are bound to be many unchecked sources of random variation here. One is whether the trucks had cargo or not. If empty, they bounce a lot more and could introduce motion blur. I suspect the 600mm shots to be affected by this. With the small number of series, I can't rule out that the two cameras have got an uneven share of empty trucks. However I did the same experiment, at the same place, five days ago with the K20D only, and the results from yesterday seems consistent with my previous results. So all in all, the real-life numbers pretty much mirrors the nominal doubling of the frame rate. Not the subjective feeling that the K-7 is _more_ than twice as fast. Not in this situation anyway. However this test, tracking approaching objects, is very different from panning a bird flying from one side to the other.

GESO - Flying Chiller (inspired by Christine)
This post (not photos) is inspired by Christine's Construction series. 3 years ago I purchased a large scientific instrument (X-ray diffractometer) that came with a large water chiller installed. The chiller was supposed to be installed inside the building core, behind the wall from the room for th system. The company provided the specs for it, and we checked that it would make it through a narrow passage to the core. Close to delivery, it turned out that they provided the specs for a wrong model of the chiller. The chiller we were to receive wouldn't make it through. That core used to have the second, much wider, entrance, but because of the construction of the building addition, access to that entrance was removed and the floor around that door was removed - that was the wall where the new part of the building would be attached. So, the solution was to lift the chiller up and into the former door hole using the construction crane. Well, the story was captured in this gallery: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/FlyingChiller/ The last two shots show the X-ray diffractometer: the grey-colored enclosure with glass doors and the grey-colored generator next to it. I don't think that this gallery carries much of artistic value, it's mostly a technical photo-reportage. All shots were preserved including the sub-optimum ones - for completeness of the story. ... but all and any comments are welcome.

Re: controlled noise test
For what it is worth, your expectation may be a little high for the K20. Where did you come up with this expectation. Generally speaking as the photosites get smaller, noise gets stronger. So there has to be a way to compensate for it. It is my understanding that manufacturing has improved so that the photosites are too much smaller than the older 6mp sensors. My experience has been starting with the *IstD 6mp body. Then getting a K10D 10mp body. The K10D had better image quality until you boost the ISO too far and amplify the noise. So up to 800 iso it was better than the *IstD - but beyond that, the *istD is better. Now I have a K20D - the image quality is better than the K10D and the high iso images are improved - better than the K10D, but not significantly better than the *istD - marginally better, perhaps. This is still quite an accomplishment because you are comparing a larger photosite 6mp sensor to a smaller photosite 14.6 sensor. What I am getting at here is that your expectation may be off. How do the normal images look? Those not boosted to high iso? The best thing to do is compare to another K20. I'm in Sacramento so not too convenient. I do work in SF every Thursday. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 8:11:42 AM, you wrote: LC On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 07:29:29AM -0400, paul stenquist wrote: Why would you add +.7 exposure comp on the K100 but not on the K20?

It has been my experience that when the sun is providing the main light, unless you are working quite close to the subject (macro) or you have highly reflective objects in the frame, that a light modifier doesn't really make much difference at all, just robs power from the flash. So even though I use modifiers most of the time with flash as the primary light source, when I am shooting outdoors with the sun as the main light source, I don't bother with any modifier - it just doesn't make any difference that you can see. Now this does mean that you have to control the amount of fill - the AF360 flash has the ability to dial in compensation - I use somewhere between -2.00 and -0.5 usually depending on the brightness of the sun. When compensated properly, you won't notice flash usage in the picture, but the shadows will fill and catchlights will be there and dark eye sockets will go away. Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 3:06:00 AM, you wrote: DJB On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 9:28 PM, paul DJB stenquistpnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: I have the Lumina softbox for on-camera flash.

Re: need help from AF540-FTZ owners
Jostein, I just ran a series theu the K-7 and 77 Ltd at F8 with the 540 Flash. My flash doesn't show any anomalies when zoomed to 48mm vs 16, 24, 34, or 58. Exposure stays the same.

So there has to be a way to compensate for it. It is my understanding that manufacturing has improved so that the photosites are too much smaller than the older 6mp sensors. Less than half the area, 6/14.9 as much area. What I am getting at here is that your expectation may be off. How do the normal images look? Those not boosted to high iso? I did very little high ISO shooting on this trip: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157621292072536/ A lot of these were at ISO 500 and noisier than I had hoped: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157621291376438/ The best thing to do is compare to another K20.

Re: GESO - Flying Chiller (inspired by Christine)
Heh... It would've been ok if that was the only problem I got from that company... It took them more almost 2 years until the system was finally accepted (and paid for). In the mean time they figured out that the chiller in question was a wrong one, and was not yielding the requirements of the system, so it was removed (through the already built by then building addition) and shipped back to the factory in Chicago-land for retro-fitting.

If there was any logic to this the 58mm zoom setting should have been even worse than 48mm, but the histogram at 58mm is perfect... :-( If there's a step function in the output of the flash, though, and over 48 gets stepped down and _up to_ 48 does not get stepped down, it's quite possible that 48 would result in blown highlights while 58 wouldn't.

I think the correct term is block and tackle. They generally identify former warehouses, not private homes. A private home wouldn't need to be hauling stuff up and down so often that they needed to build something like that in. They're very common around here - London was once the world's largest port and the river is still lined with old wharves and warehouses which have mainly been converted, but bits of original paraphernalia all help to keep the price up, and look very nice.

Created quite a stir and a huge crowd of onlookers. Many of the older houses in Amsterdam have a hook and support built into the building under the eaves for lifting furniture and such into the upper floors by way of balconies and balcony doors. I think the correct term is block and tackle. They generally identify former warehouses, not private homes. A private home wouldn't need to be hauling stuff up and down so often that they needed to build something like that in. They're very common around here - London was once the world's largest port and the river is still lined with old wharves and warehouses which have mainly been converted, but bits of original paraphernalia all help to keep the price up, and look very nice.

Re: Kodak DC 25 camera and files.
The problem I had was that the Iomega software replaced a critical dll, which caused a BSoD at some random time after boot up. Removing the software did not remove the bad driver. System recovery was painful and incomplete. If you're using WinXP you may not have any problems. David J Brooks wrote: Loaded up the driver and it seems to work. I'll keep my eye on any hic ups, and if i see some, i'll just remove the zip programs. Dave On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 9:21 PM, P. J.

I have an older iomega zip drive, 100meg, that i have the dc25 files stored on. I have tried to find the software via a google search, but it seems unavailable. I have a few photos of my parents at their 50th wedding lunch i would like to try and get off the disk. Whats the chances any one on the list used the camera and has the software.??? None i suppose. I cannot remember if the zip drive(plugs into the printer port) required software or not. Dave -- The free man owns himself.
