a silly old photo
I was trying to see if I had an old photo (other than Jr. High yearbook) of the photographer at my friend's wedding this weekend, and ran across a photo of myself: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2611/3902314941_2a4981da25.jpg Even though I don't know who took it, or with what camera, it is topical to this list. It is also an example of a now obsolete darkroom technique. Rather than my describing it, I'll see if anyone can figure out how the vignetting was done. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.

Re: GESO - few shots from the last weekend
Thank you - Bob, David, Paul, Rick and Christine. Rick, I agree with your your crop suggestion. As for the tree with stars - I did not know you get colors in moonlight. Christine, chat little girl is my daughter. She was practicing and the whole family was dancing around her (me with camera, my son with diffuser and my wife with reflector) - it was fun indeed!

Re: GESO - few shots from the last weekend
I love the first two, Sasha. The use of shadows, the girl's pose, and the B&W rendering in the first one are excellent. The second is beautifully composed, and the preservation of color is nicely done. The third seems a bit static. Cropping about 20% off the right and the top might enhance the tension of the scene.

That "sign" would actually be a large overhead light stand. This Cruise takes place in the parking lot of a Harvey's Hamburger restaurant, in keeping with the days in the 1960's when these cars would gather at the original Harvey's at Jane & #401 highway before heading north out of Toronto for illegal midnight street racing.

Construction VI
Hi Everyone: I'm kind of drowning in construction photos right now, which makes it overwhelming when trying to sort out the pics. But here's a quick gallery. They've started work on the 2nd floor of the parking garage and the ramp. The speed at which they are working now is amazing. I have to get my hard drive situation sorted ASAP--only 27 gigs left. Yikes. I'll probably go with adding an internal drive if possible. http://www.caguila.com/caguila/trumansecondfloor/index.html comments welcome 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: Dropped K200D
I come from the capital K Klutz school of carefulness. Starting with the 10D, I've been putting Giottos Aegis screens on the LCDs. It's a lot cheaper to replace if (when) something goes wrong. I'm also one of those who typically puts a UV filter in front of the lens. When I dropped my camera bag in an airport, the only damage was some cross-threading in the lens (which Eric fixed for me) and the replacement of the filter (which had given itself up to save the lens).

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: The 2009-2010 PDML Photo Annual... and exhibit
well, just read and believe the meaning didn't come as intended. Late - my comment, since these last days have been quite busy. Well done - the effort by Mark, Christine, Bill Robb, Doug Brewer and Scott Loveless. The book alone is a wonderful acomplishment - the exhibition is even more wonderful. Again, in a better english this time - Thank you!!! lf Luiz Felipe escreveu: A little late, but REALLY WELL DONE!!! lf Mark Roberts escreveu: The release of next year's PDML Photo Annual will coincide with an exhibition of photos from the book at the Dank Haus gallery in Chicago, Illinois, USA, May 7th through June 12th, 2010. After much planning and discussion, the PDML's own Christine Aguila succeeded in facilitating an agreement between Dank Haus Gallery in Chicago and the editors of the PDML Photo Annual (and considering that the "editorial staff" includes myself, Bill Robb, Doug Brewer and Scott Loveless, that's quite an achievement!) for an actual exhibit of physical prints to celebrate the publication of the next book. As you'll see, this wasn't as simple as one might think. Read on… First, the book itself. The last book was quite a rush project, and having the image submission period extending through the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday season didn't make it any easier. So we've decided to push it back this time around, which will also get the book release closer to the time-frame of the gallery exhibit (which was slotted in the only workable dates the gallery had open). Image submissions will be accepted (via a web site as before) from January 1st through February 28th. Any PDML member in good standing of January 1st will be allotted one photograph in the book. Members will be permitted to submit up to three photographs for the book, to give the editors more latitude for creating a cohesive presentation. Those who want to be the sole determinant of what image they get into the book can do so by submitting just one image. Those who make the editors' jobs easier by submitting two or three images will receive our undying gratitude, at the very least :) The book is slated to be edited and completed electronically by the middle of March and the editors should have proofs in hand about two weeks later. If the proofs look good, the book will be available to PDML members immediately. (If revision is necessary there will be a delay of another two weeks or so.) "Official" publication will be on May 7 when the exhibit opens. The Exhibit The exhibit curator will be Sue Barton, curator of Dank Haus Gallery and chair of the Dank Haus Fine Arts Committee, who will select approximately 40 images from the book for display. Obviously, we expect to have more than 40 photos in the book so, equally obviously, not everyone will have their photograph represented in the exhibit. Much as we'd like to show everyone's photo, it just isn't physically possible. The final arbiter of photos chosen for the exhibit will be Sue Barton of Dank Haus. To insure consistency and quality of prints, I will be making all the prints here. We can't be shipping prints all over the planet and, more importantly, Sue Barton isn't willing to put on an exhibition of prints based on web images unless she knows the prints will be consistent and is familiar with work of the printer. (The only alternative would be for people to ship prints to her for evaluation/selection and that's clearly a non-starter.) I'll print on either Hahnemuehl Fine Art Pearl or Ilford Gold Fibre Silk paper. Sizes will be approximately 8 x 12 or 12 x 18, as decided upon by the curator based on technical quality and artistic considerations. Framing will be done in Chicago. Christine Aguila has been doing a lot of leg-work on this and has succeeded in getting several framing shops to bid on the honor of doing the job. No kidding. This will assure us of getting very good pricing. Yes, you're going to have to pay for the printing and framing if you want to be in the exhibit. But the good news is that what you pay will be less than you could possibly get the same quality work done for yourself. A lot less. (I'm paying over $200.00 per 12x18 print for good framing these days. I expect the PDML price will be about half that, possibly less.) Prices will be definite by the time the image submission period begins. Sales of prints at the exhibition: Yes, you might even make a profit from this deal. Those whose photos are selected for the exhibition will have the option of offering the print for sale at the gallery. This will be subject to the gallery's standard terms (most importantly, their commission!), which Sue Barton will describe in detail before this whole thing goes on line. In lieu of signing the prints that are offered for sale (not possible with this centralized printing scheme), artists will be able to provide a "Certificate of Authenticity" for their print. This will be emailed out as a PDF or JPEG, to be printed out and signed by the photographer and mailed b
Re: K10 problem
From: John Francis When I had problems like this (many years ago, with my PZ-1p), the problem was a borderline contact between the lens and the camera. Hold the lens just the wrong way and the "A" pin didn't make contact, so the camera took a shot or two with the aperture set to f/32 (I usually shoot in Tv mode, so the shutter speed was fixed as well). It took me a while to figure this out, but nowadays it should be much, much easier - look at the EXIF entries to see what has changed. If the "A" contact is suspect the lens information code will switch. If, on the other hand, all the EXIF value look reasonable you may have a lens that is misbehaving (a sticky iris, perhaps). I have this problem with one of my lenses, but whenever it happens, the K10D display shows "F--"; the same indication I get when I take the lens out of 'A'. -- 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: K10 problem
This can also be caused by aperture blades that temporarily get stuck. I have a lens that has this problem, and when used in A-position of the aperture ring, the blades will close a bit more with successive pictures. One can see this when looking through the front side of the lens while taking pictures. The correct operation is when the blades completely open up after each picture. best regards Steffen Zahn John Francis schrieb: > When I had problems like this (many years ago, with my PZ-1p), the > problem was a borderline contact between the lens and the camera. > Hold the lens just the wrong way and the "A" pin didn't make contact, > so the camera took a shot or two with the aperture set to f/32 (I > usually shoot in Tv mode, so the shutter speed was fixed as well). > > It took me a while to figure this out, but nowadays it should be > much, much easier - look at the EXIF entries to see what has changed. > If the "A" contact is suspect the lens information code will switch. > If, on the other hand, all the EXIF value look reasonable you may have > a lens that is misbehaving (a sticky iris, perhaps). > > > > On Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 11:31:25PM +1000, MikeM wrote: > >> I think I might have not been clear about the 3 shots.

The only reason I can see, and it is a good one, are the single harvest seeds. Since agriculture began farmers have planted their fields with the best seeds saved from the previous years harvest.

Re: K10 problem
Hmm... if it's just one lens, it could be that the camera misinterprets the info conveyed by the lens. I agree with Bob that it might be dirty contacts on the bayonet, or maybe even a loose screw or two on the lens side of the bayonet.

Re: K10 problem
When I had problems like this (many years ago, with my PZ-1p), the problem was a borderline contact between the lens and the camera. Hold the lens just the wrong way and the "A" pin didn't make contact, so the camera took a shot or two with the aperture set to f/32 (I usually shoot in Tv mode, so the shutter speed was fixed as well). It took me a while to figure this out, but nowadays it should be much, much easier - look at the EXIF entries to see what has changed. If the "A" contact is suspect the lens information code will switch. If, on the other hand, all the EXIF value look reasonable you may have a lens that is misbehaving (a sticky iris, perhaps).

Re: K10 problem
That's interesting, I knew you had to keep the shutter button depressed to get three quick shots while auto bracketing, on the *ist-Dx series, but it would fire off the three shots if you just held the shutter down even in single shot mode. It does stop shooting if you release the shutter, and takes up the sequence on your next shot, which can be annoying. The K20D works the same way IIRC, (I don't have the camera nearby). I'm pretty sure that all the Pentax DSLRs probably work the same way. Anthony Farr wrote: Do you have auto bracketing turned on, but frame advance set to single shot? I had this happen with my Olympus, and found that auto bracket and continuous frame advance needed to both be on, but also needed to be turned on seperately.

Re: K10 problem
Is it with a number of different lenses or is it with the same lens? (Just to rule out other problems). Now the cost is another question. It could be anything from a simple mechanical adjustment, which by the way will probably run between $100 and $200 to replacing most of the guts of the camera, in which case you'd be better off buying good used one or getting a K20D at close out.
