Barging Pentax
Well, funny how events turn. I'm going to a Dutch barge rally at Bisham (near Marlow on the Thames) today and I'm doing a couple-page spread feature on one of the barges/crews so will need some pics.

Climate camp
A climate camp has set up on Blackheath, a couple of miles from where I live. This is where Wat Tyler's peasants' revolt came to a sticky end in 1381, and the Cornish Rebellion came to an end in 1497, so there are some nice historical resonances and continuity with the tradition of protest. I went up there yesterday evening to have a look. Here's one of my pictures; I'll try and post a few more later today: http://www.web-options.com/L1001029.jpg It's quite interesting and seems to have the support of most of the locals, who are mostly bourgeois liberals like me. The camp is right next to an army barracks, where the police have set up a cherry-picker loaded with cameras and videos overlooking the protesters. They are apparently photographing everyone who visits, which is rather a waste of taxpayers' film if you ask me.

This means, of course, that other people, including the government and its agents, have the right to photograph me when I'm in a public place. It would be hypocritical of me to object to other people taking my picture when I'm in public, although the enormous use of surveillance over here is a complete waste of effort and money. It doesn't prevent crime, and is next to useless when it comes to getting convictions. It's not the photographing that's wrong, it's the apparent presumption that protest is not a legitimate activity, and the further presumption that anyone associating with protesters is guilty of something or other. There is also the ridiculous use of stop & search powers by the police which is often unjustifiably used against photographers. In the 80s these powers, then called the Sus Law, were stopped because they were unfairly targeting young black men and they eventually led to riots. But they're back with a vengeance now, and unfairly targetting young black men again, as well as people who look like they might be Muslims, or climate camp types. Or photographers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8206546.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7846526.stm Bob -- 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.

I chose the most attractive woman standing, a long haired blonde model type, or perhaps a very young executive. Very nice clothes and accessories. Walked over to her and engaged her in conversation about this dude's choice of clothes. She was responsive, and friendly, great smile, green eyes. We talked for about 5 minutes about travel, photography, her outfit, shoes, etc. As we talked, I noticed that 90% of the other men in the room were looking at us. A fat old man wearing cargo shorts and a T-shirt sporting a 4 day growth of grey beard, chatting it up with a woman that few if any men would have the nuts to talk to. So we talked about that as well. She remarked that she sees it all the time. Everyone looking, no one approaching. They announced the boarding of our flight. She smelled delightful as I followed her on to the plane. And that was that. She sat in first class with it's comfy wide leather seats, Joe over the wing on the isle hoping that the center seat would remain empty. Having worked with plenty of models and aspiring models in my most active fashion and product shooting days in SF and Phoenix in the early 70s, I know that these lovely creations are just like you or me. Saddled with the social disability of being gorgeous, they have just as hard a time relating as my type, and welcome interaction with someone who is not out to take advantage. They are allowed to relax, and I have my ego kicked up a notch. Symbiosis.

Re: Dome in the Mist
Thanks, Christine. This place has always fascinated me. It's in a rural area of Kauai, on the road to Waimea Canyon. I've seen it before, but on this occasion it looked very secretive, because of the mist and fog. Part of the dome was in bright sunlight, and part was in the shade. This is just inland of the Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range. The "No Trespassing" sign on the road identifies it as a NASA facility, but who knows what they track . . .

Re: PESO 2009 - 154,155 - GDG
Thank you, Joseph! I've been thinking of where to go with the blog ... I mean beyond the blog ... and a photo book like that is what I'd figured might be cool. Right now there are something like 23 photos posted in the blog, I think a reasonable book would have a bit more, but I'm thinking on the concept. :-) On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 3:03 PM, Joseph McAllister wrote: > I think it's time to start assembling a glossy coffee table book from your > blog Godfrey.

Re: PPG quota
Rick, You're not connecting via dialup or mobile 3G by any chance? I really don't recognise your description... I didn't join the foray until half a year after the first invitations went out. I had read a lot of bitching from many on this list over the interface, and was very skeptical to begin with. In fact, I wrote to Pentax and suggested some improvements, both on the gallery display and the voting page. A few were incorporated too, along with other changes to improve the interface speed over time. I joined in June, btw, and the beta stage ended in September 2007. Further improvements were made later that autumn, and I don't think it's that bad anymore. I may have grown used to it too, of course. Last Thursday, btw, a colleague at work praised the site's convenient interface for browsing images. Without any encouragement from me except providing the link.

Re: using a canon ring light
Triggering the flash should be possible. controlling the light is the real problem. It's usable If it has manual settings like 1/4 and 1/16 of full power. I used a small chinese ring flash (full power only) for many years. The effect is allways the same: pitch black backgrounds. I now use the new PTTL ringflash. Much better because now I can use fill in flash from the ring. 2009/8/31 Larry Colen : > A buddy had to replace his canon ringlight because his old one > wouldn't work on his 5dII.
