For more extensive novels, it's a lot easier to hold and curl up with in the first place. The tactile feel of the pages... well... Can't say I miss it, personally.

Re: PESO - BBall 2
Yeah, the K-x seems to do what I need. I can say that I am feeling much more comfortable about the upcoming gymnastic event - 3200 looks pretty decent. For this game I wanted to see what the body could do, so I put it on sports mode, and picked the AF sensor just above middle (vertical orientation). The sports mode sets AF to continuous and favors high shutter speeds. It does not let me change the white balance while in that mode. The metering was set to multi-segment. I am pretty much a RAW shooter, but have to admit, I have just been shooting jpg's with the K-x so far. It really is a great little body - hard to find much to dislike and it handles quite well. I could see it easily becoming the primary shooting camera over my K20D. The AF seems to work a little better, the AWB is better, the meter seems at least as good and the shooting frame rate is faster. I even rather like the white body - goes nicely with black lenses - sort of the anti Canon, if you will. White body and black lenses instead of black body and white lenses. I almost have a half mind to pick up another body for backup and using the pair in my work. I am already having to contend with my 20 year old daughter who wants to use it instead of her *istD (can't blame her). -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 12:33:09 AM, you wrote: RS> On 17/02/2010, Bruce Dayton wrote: >> Another from the same game - no crops, no processing >> >> Pentax K-x, DA* 50-135/2.8 @ 103mm >> ISO 3200, 1/400 sec @ f/4.0, Handheld >> >> http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/imgp0529.htm RS> Nice work Bruce, it looks like your new little workhorse is doing what RS> you intended.

Yes, I've noticed that: the beast on the sign looks more like a cow or oxen than a moose. There's a bit of recent city history that goes along with this. About 10 years ago a the city had a public art project called Moose in the City: http://www.toronto.ca/moose/home.htm whereby several hundred identical moose were placed at various locations and sponsors paid artists to decorate them. Some (but not all of them) had commercial themes. It was actually pretty cool and lots of fun. At the end of it all the moose were auctioned off and funds given to charity. A few dozen (mostly decrepit) moose remain in various locations. I seem to remember this moose, decorated to look like (I'm guessing) a Chinese Mandarin (or at least in some traditional Chinese costume) originally being in some prominent place in Chinatown. Obviously this market bought the moose at the post-installation auction and is now using it for promotional purposes. I don't recall how long that market has been known as the Lucky Moose Market. It might pre-date the acquisition of said moose, which might explain the different look for the moose on the sign. It wouldn't explain why that moose looks so "un-moose-like"...

Feature wishlist
I was photographing at a friend's blues jam last night, using it as a chance to practice band photography. I decided to try using autofocus, and the handy af point selection. Looking at the photos, almost every one focuses on the microphone instead of the musician. How about an autofocus mode where the camera looks for something to focus on a little bit behind the default? This would be handy for both musicians and birds in trees. At the beginning of the evening, I tried a few using the strobist suggestion of putting my flash on a monopod, and that seems very promising, except for the detail that I end up short one hand, until I come up with a harness to hold the monopod or something. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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: Pentax in the UK
I bought my Optio WP from them in 2005 and a top of the line Sony p&s for work in 2004. Both were extremely cheap and took ages and some strongly worded reminders to come through and were shipped from France. Both were misdeclared as German merchandise and when I complained about that I got a friendly mail after some waiting time saying there wasn't any difference. At the time I didn't know better because I had all my money to myself and normally just went to IRL stores where I felt good about buying, preferentially small, owner operated. I briefly considered pixmania again in 2007/2008 for Pentax DSLR related gear but quickly backed off when I read their ratings which were under 95% positive with a lot of people complaining of not getting money back or repairs on their returned items which instead seemed to get lost regularly without so much as a reaction from Pixmania and for service they said often times you had to phone directly to France... so I decided they have to be at least 10% cheaper than the next vendor and accept my Amex online purchase insurance for me to consider them again. During the GBP low I shopped around for prices on a bunch of stuff - still can kick myself for not ordering the 60-250 before Pentax jacked the price up under my mouse - and found SRS Microsystems to always be among the cheapest and they seem reputable to me - have you considered them? So my opinion in a nutshell: I would choose Pixmania only if they save me so much money that it will be worth the risk and hassle... Good luck Ecke BTW lowest price in Germany is roughly the same so ordering from here won't help you 2010/2/17 mike wilson : > http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/r/pentax-kx? > > Anyone know of a better deal than this?

PESO: Hermit Silhouette
Another short visit, and likely last of the season, to Gray Lodge State Wildlife Area. Little migratory bird activity, but always bring home a few "tries." Primarily looking for hawks, but always with the thought of that surely that Golden Eagle will be back and this time, I'll get the iconic shot. Often come home with about a dozen hawk silhouettes. The title is simply my constant impression of the Egret. It's no big.

Re: Feature wishlist
Sorry Larry, but no autofocus system will be able to guess by itself which part of the scene you want in focus. One day you want the singer in focus, next day you want the mike in focus. Future sytems, but not in the near future, will do this by reading your mind. Till than its better to use manual focus. Greetz Jos Larry Colen wrote: I was photographing at a friend's blues jam last night, using it as a chance to practice band photography. I decided to try using autofocus, and the handy af point selection. Looking at the photos, almost every one focuses on the microphone instead of the musician. How about an autofocus mode where the camera looks for something to focus on a little bit behind the default? This would be handy for both musicians and birds in trees. At the beginning of the evening, I tried a few using the strobist suggestion of putting my flash on a monopod, and that seems very promising, except for the detail that I end up short one hand, until I come up with a harness to hold the monopod or something. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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: Feature wishlist
In principle that is one of the fastest ways to tell the camera where to focus. But there are many practical problems Jos eckinator wrote: Canon tried at one point with sensor watching where you look - I think if that could be refined and matched up with correspondingly many focus points it might be viable but I doubt anyone will pay the premium beyond the rudimentary version that they had - which incidentally worked so well i never caught onto why they dropped it cheers ecke 2010/2/17 Jos from Holland : Sorry Larry, but no autofocus system will be able to guess by itself which part of the scene you want in focus. One day you want the singer in focus, next day you want the mike in focus. Future sytems, but not in the near future, will do this by reading your mind. Till than its better to use manual focus.

I converted the Hermit Egret and

little more.

More seriously ... ;-) ... I've done the same but instead of using a monopod I've used a lightweight light stand. That gives the option to shoot one-handed when it's possible, but then just spread the legs and let it stand on its own when needed. An RF trigger and medium sized flash unit with a bit of a diffuser on it works well for this purpose. Some current monopods have a small set of tripod legs built in for enhanced stability that might work for this, presuming it doesn't get bumped. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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.

sure High ISO could be tweeked a bit.

Re: PESO: Hermit Silhouette
Looks good on my monitor. I like it. Have you tried cropping, so the bird is off center? That might be more effective. But a nice shot as presented.
