RE: PESO - Subversive Activities

You should look up "mods and rockers" - gang warfare in the U K in the
'60's.  To be avoided when they started on one another.

I like the third one best but I'd prefer it without the flag pole.

I am so glad I was sent to the UK during spring/summer.

Beautiful colours and the fog diffuses the background nicely.  The
curvature of the road gives great balance to the shot.

Re: Shot Counter

Thanks, Rod. I'm grateful for the information and will take a bit of time later 
to apply it. I'm not concerned as to whether the same body and lens were 
returned to me, of that I'm certain.
I would like to return the image count to something close to what is true for 
obvious reasons. With all the advice I'm being given, I now feel that outcome 
is possible. 

Thanks all,

Re: I left my Pentax 360 Flash . . .

[Michael Beacom]

You can simulate this in the comfort of your own home while you're  
cooking.
Just open the oven door to peek at things or move them around a bit.  
If

you're wearing glasses they will steam up immediately.

The way to overcome it is to tie your head in a plastic bag while  
you're

cooking.

Bob



Boys, we need another plan.
When I tried it, my glasses stayed clear but the bag fogged up.

Hi Jack,

The shot number, ie the one that is used as the image file mane can be
reset, it can also be set to any number. The internal shutter counter
is the only number that can't be altered, it's an up counter and
should register every shutter activation whatever the operating mode.

The internal "shutter count" value can be determined using an
application such as PhotoME as has been mentioned, just compare shots
prior to the camera being sent for repair to those shot after. There
should be some advance on the counter but I would find it hard to
believe that the shutter would have been activated more than a few
hundred times during the repair/testing.

PhotoME also reports an "Internal Serial Number" under the
"Manufacturer notes" section, this number I would expect should not
differ if the camera is the one you sent for repair.

Cheers,

You can set the shot counter to anything by:

rename an image file on the memory card to imgp.dng or _igp.dng

sticking this memory card in the camera

power on the camera

take a picture

power off the camera

remove the memory card

rename that image file to whatever number is one less than the number
you want

put the card back in the camera

take a picture

voila!

(Haven't actually done this, but it's a logical consequence of "resets
to the higher value if there's a higher value on the card").

My current K20D shot counter value is the nicely symmetrical 3553; I
can't remember how many times the counter has been around, though; it's
either twice or thrice.  The 3553 is not an indication of relatively low
usage.

Re: Shot Counter

[Jack Davis]

I checked both serial numbers first thing upon their return. 
I called Pentax customer service to let them know about the question and their 
preliminary response was the implication that the information might have been a 
result of using a high count memory card by the repair service. They made a 
note to follow up.
Whatever the cause, I mentioned the repair service advised that regardless of 
the reason, they wouldn't be able to turn the counter back.
Obviously, it won't matter unless I decide to sell it, but I let Pentax know I 
am displeased and anxious to learn the cause.

28mm is a 42mm-e on APS-C, pretty much exactly the same as Pentax's
43mm 'true normal' and right on the 40-45mm normal range that was
typical for fixed-lens RF's and P&S's back in the day as well as being
moderately common in SLR's from the mid-70's on. A 35 is a long normal
on APS-C.

55mm as a normal was only ever an abberation of 60's SLR designs, as
it was a bit easier to design for a SLR mount than 50mm that had been
the  the 'normal' for 35mm since the original Leica was introduced in
the late 1920's. Many systems never even had a 55 normal or only had
exotic 55's (usually an f1.2 or a macro). 55's as the standard on
SLR's only lasted about 15 years from the early 60's to the late 70's,
which was also when 40's and 45's became increasingly common as
normals from Leica, Minolta, Nikon, Zeiss (Contax) Olympus and Pentax.
Canon, Olympus and Nikon only did exotic 55's.

35mm has traditionally had a longer normal than other formats, due to
Oskar Barnack's taste in lenses.

Looks like the sensor lost the connector for a whole row of pixels.
Definitely a depot-level repair job.

Re: Shot Counter

[William Robb]

- Original Message - 
From: "Jack Davis"

Subject: Shot Counter


I mentioned having received my K20 and 16~45 back from Pentax repair a 
couple days ago.
I noticed the K20 shot counter now indicates 9900 frames and upon checking 
some images found that it showed 'prox 5300 at the time it was sent in.




The counter can be altered by putting in a card from a different Pentax that 
has a higher file count.
Try loading a file into a program like PhotoME and seeing if the count is 
closer to what you had when you sent it in.

A typically mercilessly humid one, in fact.

Toronto is the warm south.  It gets actually cold in the winter for a
couple of days every three to five years or so, so far as I can tell.

That is really, really weird.


That is really strange.  Is the lower crop from PEF or JPG?  Is it full 
one-for-one-pixel resolution from the original?  The circular white part 
looks entirely too circular.  There's some curious artifacting inside 
the black spot that's inside the white spot.


The black column seems to fade back almost to normal colors by the 
bottom of the image, but to be about "full strength" at the top edge. 
If you zoom in enough (like 10:1) you can see that the black line fades 
completely away as it intersects with the white spot.  The black could 
be from the effects of a failure at one pixel on the pixels around it at 
either the hardware or the software.


Can you shoot something like a Chromakey background (pretty uniform 
color across the frame)?  Can you provide an 800% or so zoom of the 
original resolution that only includes that white spot, in GIF or PNG 
format to avoid JPEG's machinations?

Photographers Ephemeris

[John Sessoms]

At my weekly brunch this morning someone mentioned a small free-ware 
application called the Photographer's Ephemeris. Requires Adobe AIR, 
which I think you should already have if you're using Photoshop or 
Lightroom.


http://stephentrainor.com/tools

I downloaded the program and am taking a first look - haven't even 
finished reading the instructions, but I'm already impressed enough I 
thought I'd pass it along.


It uses Google maps and locates a point on them. You can place the point 
around anywhere you want it. It's not locked to the streets like 
streetview is. I plugged in my own address and it locates the point 
right in the middle of my property.


FROM your chosen point it shows a graphic line to the sunrise, sunset, 
moonrise, moonset for any chosen date, along with the times, azimuth and 
percentage of illumination for the moon.


There's an advanced view that allows you to show the line to the sun and 
 the moon for any time during a chosen date.


Want to know where you need to stand to get the full moon framed by the 
mile high swinging bridge at GFM? What time and what dates?


Want to know if you can get the sunrise framed in the attic window?

You want to catch the full moon (quarter moon, new moon) rising or 
setting over some landscape feature?


The program can tell you exactly where to stand (within the limits of 
google maps ~ a couple of meters most places.)


The only lack I'm aware of is it doesn't appear to have a print 
function, but I was told you can use "print screen" function under 
Windows (or however the Mac does it) and paste it from the clipboard).

Shot Counter

[Jack Davis]

I mentioned having received my K20 and 16~45 back from Pentax repair a couple 
days ago.
I noticed the K20 shot counter now indicates 9900 frames and upon checking some 
images found that it showed 'prox 5300 at the time it was sent in.

K20D repair record; Replaced body bayonet mount.
Repaired autofocus drive unit.
Adjusted to manufacturers specifications.
General check and clean.

16~45 repair record: Replaced lens bayonet mount.
 Replaced main barrel.
 Repaired focus mechanism.
 Adjusted to manufacturers specifications.
 General check and clean.

I checked the K20 serial number when returned. 
Pentax repair says they have no way of turning the counter back, but will check 
into it a advise. I asked for a phone call when they have an answer.
Could an internal component have been installed from a "used" body. This is 
what I told them concerned me. Don't even know if that's possible.
I'll post their answer.

Any thoughts?

Jack

Subject: K20D - Hot pixel ?


After approx 3850 images, my K20D started producing a defect in the 
images, not related to SD card or battery charge. It occurs at all ISO's, 
all lenses, shutter speeds & apertures. Interestingly it is not apparent 
in live view.
I've run the pixel mapping routine several time with no affect on this 
spot.


It evidences itself as a noticeable bright spot near the RH edge of the 
image (in landscape orientation), with a vertical black line from top to 
bottom running thru the spot.


Its close enough to the RH edge that it can be cropped out with only a 
small loss of image size, but I don't want to have to crop every image.


The body will probably find its way to Pentax Repair, but I thought I'd 
get some input from the collective minds on the list. Depending on the 
cost to repair, this may push me into getting a K7.

right on the 35, but the 28 is wider than most

the K24/3.5 is pretty damn good too, which I forgot

Both of which are "normal" on an APS C sized sensor,   35mm being  ~

being approximatly the diagonal of the sensor, making it a true normal

RE: PESO: Throughway, take two

[John Sessoms]

From: P N Stenquist
In response to Richard Bush's comment, I rendered another shot that  
was framed to include all of the upper window. I'm not sure if I like  
it better or not, in that the second doorway and interior become  
considerably smaller:


http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10456531


For this one, I would crop in tighter framing on just the door and 
window ... put the top of the window right up to the edge of the frame, 
with the bottom edge along the step where it was in the first crop.


I think the first one would benefit if the top crop was right where the 
cross bar divides the two sections of the window. Provides kind of a 
natural frame within a frame within a frame.

Two possible problems, uneven expansion/contraction of the materials in 
the battery during temperature extremes might split the case with 
resulting leakage and condensation of moisture from the, relatively 
humid, inside the flash fouling the electronics.  Mind you I haven't 
seen the first happen since I was a kid, modern batteries are made of 
different materials, and the cases are better sealed.

Paul, I did Huey my monitor and found it to be slightly bright. When I

to prevent condensation - move a cold item into warm, moisture laden
air, water will condensate on the cold item - this is actually a
sensible thing to do because you wont't have to wait for the water to
evaporate before you fire up the unit again

You can simulate this in the comfort of your own home while you're cooking.
Just open the oven door to peek at things or move them around a bit. If
you're wearing glasses they will steam up immediately.

The way to overcome it is to tie your head in a plastic bag while you're
cooking.

Re: A giant leap... some advice welcome

Hi Lasse,

I'm still on CS2, having arrived here a while back from PS 5 then PS 7.
You'll really appreciate all the additions from PS 5.

A few that I use alot (and can remember) are:

+ the browser - Adobe Bridge

+ the RAW convertor

+ highlight/shadow adjustment

+ ability to scroll multiple images at the same time

It might be helpful to get a book on CS4.

Hi all,

I hope everyone is well and not badly struck by the cold weather in many 
parts of the world. Up here in Scandinavia, people are mostly enjoying a 
"proper" winter, which we haven't seen for quite a few years.


Anyway, there has ocurred a very small step for the art of photography, 
but a giant leap to me...
After having been using Photoshop 5 uptil now, Santa has enabled me to 
start working with PS CS4.


This means that I haven't been following or learned about the new versions 
or upgrades of PS since the v. 5.
As a way to start to learn what new there is to me, I thought I'd ask 
those of you who have been using later versions, if you maybe could point 
to or list some of the new features and improvements since v.5, which you 
have found particularly useful to your work and which may be the most 
obvious improvements to me (if you can recall that far back at all... ) ).


One obvious thing I already learned, is that I definitely have to get 
myself a new, more powerful computer...


Any pointers or advice welcome.

Thanks,
Lasse

Protects it from moisture condensing inside it while it's warming up.

Ever wear glasses? Come into a warm building from outside when it's

Aside from that, it limits the amount of moisture available for
condensation: You can only get condensation of the moisture that's in
the tiny volume of air inside the bag with the flash.

I'm sick of the snow and it's only day 1. Been out since 7am driving
with a reporter through 15 inches of the wretched stuff, got home at 5
after doing 123 miles at 30 mph with copious stops for a few quick
shots. More of the same tomorrow. Well it's a living I suppose.

Re: I left my Pentax 360 Flash . . .

[Christine Aguila]

- Original Message - 
I'm glad your flash is working, but I'm also wondering why you'd be 
concerned?


The only problem I would foresee would be the possibility of batteries
losing their charge, but I'd expect them to be "re-invigorated" once
warmed up to room temperature.

Why put in a plastic bag while warming up?

Is there a potential problem that I'm not aware of here?



Yes, Charles is right--the moisture issue.  Putting it in a plastic bag when 
bringing it into the house helps the equipment achieve room temp at a slow, 
safe pace, from what I've read.  Since the flash had been in the car for 3 
nights, I assumed it was *especially* cold :-), so I used this technique. 
Cheers, Christine

RE: peso mushrooms at night

[John Sessoms]

From: Larry Colen
This year, mushrooms have been popping up in my yard like, well, like  
mushrooms.  One stump has four or five varieties. Since it's right  
outside my front door, it keeps distracting me with opportunities to  
play with my macro lens.


I really wanted to take some photos of the mushrooms today, but I was  
right at the tail end of a home improvement project.  Have you ever  
noticed how occasionally home repairs seem to take a little bit longer  
than expected?  I was noticing this on what my have been my eighth  
"last trip to the hardware store".  I was bummed that I didn't get a  
chance to photograph the mushrooms today before it got dark.




No kiddin'. Not just home repairs. I've got one repair project that's 
just celebrated its 20th birthday, and a restoration that's only been 
dragging on for 15 years.


When I finished the project at about 9:30 tonight, I decided to grab  
my strobes and give it a try at night.  I should have realized that  
when you throw a metric buttload of photons at a subject, that can  
improve the quality of the photos.


Here's one I particularly like:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4249761021/sizes/o/

 From this set:
http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623150326000/
Which has a few I shot during the day on Sunday as well.


Very good. Almost good enough to eat.

Do you know offhand if any of them ARE edible?

Snow event

[Bob W]

We're still having a snow event here in London, but it's nasty wet horrible
stuff, not the lovely fluffy stuff we had in February last year. I expect
the Inuit have a few choice words for it.

I've had the day off today to deal with some stuff in Central London. Once
I'd completed that it was a pleasure to walk the half-empty streets in the
snow. Trafalgar Square looks particularly beautiful when there are few
people around - it gives you the chance to appreciate the architecture. 

Here are some photos taken today with my phone:

Re: PESO: Throughway

[Richard D Bush]

If I had been there taking that picture, I would have considered  
including all of the window over the near doorway to complement the  
same captured on the far side of the chapel. Just something I would  
have played with a bit.

Yeah it looks oversaturated and a bit too contrasty. the framing and

can you rework it ?

BTW, Bill, that ~is~ a wonderful photo.  I don't know if it's the best
I've seen from you this year, but it's pretty damned good!  Haven't
seen Bushwacker in Ontario yet.  How is it?



For me, a lot of it's charm is the simple lighting and the tremendous 
willingness on the part of the subject to be photographed.

I really like my Klein Tools bottle opener.
Bushwakker is a local microbrewery. I'm not sure if they export or 
not. They certainly don't need to, they do a roaring business right here.

I'm not sure I can catch up with the stuff posted in the last couple of 
weeks - did want to
say how much I liked this slick still life...  Used to call the subject 
in the foreground a "church key"

Has that expression gone by the wayside?

I'm glad you're done with models - this stuff is much more interesting :-)

Re: PESO: Smoothie

Thanks Frank. And thanks for your comments on flamingo crossing as well.

I made a BW version of this pic. I like it, but in the end I couldn't  
give up all that island color. Key West doesn't seem to be a BW kind  
of place:-).

And description of  what "double the infinity effect" means:
