There was a smiley at the end of that sentence, after all. For myself, my percentage of keepers has gone up only slightly because my standards have risen. What I might have considered a keeper before I started shooting digital, I wouldn't consider one now. But you're right, that it's not just the number of the keepers, but the quality. Remember that link I posted about the stages of a photographer? While at the same time, I'm more willing to take chances, to try and make images I wouldn't have thought I could make before ... because the few times I did try to make them I failed. This is certainly true with my photography. I'm at the stage where I can usually get the shot, by experimenting seven ways from Sunday, and bracketing in three dimensions. I'm afraid that I'm not yet to the point where I can usually just go in and nail a shot on the first try, though it is often one of the first tries that does end up being the best. It is amazingly helpful to not only be able to bracket to get the shot, but to be able to look at all the attempts and learn from them. Unfortunately, I'm also still at the point where the most effective way of improving the quality of my work is learning to throw away more of it. I can see right away whether the image matches my vision; whether I got the shot. And it has benefited my film shooting as well. Maybe not as many keepers from film as I used to get, but the ones I do get are better. -- 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. -- 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: PESO -- Heratic

2010/2/20 P. J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com:
Just a portrait of my medium format camera.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20heratic.html
Equipment: Pentax K20D/w SMC Pentax FA 43mm f21.9 Limited.
Notes: Direct flash from camera pupup flash.
Further notes, the Medalist II was a camera ahead of it's time. Flash sync
included X (strobe), when few strobes were available, When the lens is
retracted, it's not a lot bigger than the K20D yet produces 6x9 negatives on
620 spooled film. The rangefinder is very accurate and easier to get used
to than that on a Leica IIIc, though I wouldn't want to use if as a stealthy
street camera. The shutter is extremely quiet though. Basically just 2.4
pounds of mid to late industrial age goodness...

Re: 50mm lenses and flare
Be sure you're using a good, deep lens hood. I used a number of the 50mm lenses when I was shooting with Pentax cameras: M50/1.4, A50/1.4, A50/1.7, F50/1.7, FA50/1.4 and A50/2.8 Macro. There's no substantive difference in the tendency to flare for any of the 50/1.4s, and not much different to the 50/1.7s. A deep lens hood is required for the DSLR bodies, much deeper than the original equipment hood (you need a hood for about an 85mm lens). The A50/2.8 has less tendency to flare as its front element is so deeply inset. That said, there are always situations which will cause some flare. Avoiding them is the only solution. What I'd do for the shooting situations in the galleries you showed (nice work, btw) is to have with me some heavy, white backdrop paper and cover those windows, preferably from the outside if possible. That will reduce the light coming through them enormously relative to your primary subject and be a much more successful exposure situation. It's either that or arrange with the subjects that you can reposition yourself and them such that these windows are not in the frame. That may not be possible given the room.

Re: GESO: Hausermann's Orchids
2010/2/21 Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com: Rick, Thanks for looking and commenting. DOF is a problem and using the autofocus macro will take practice. There were lots of focus errors in this GESO. I find myself not concentrating as much as when it was purely manual focus. Regards, Bob S. Bob, I've totally given up on AF in Macro. I find it doesn't save time at all and for MF your money is best spent for a split prism focusing screen although even then if you want to focus on a point outside the center of the image you may lose focus from swinging your cam around. What you can do is add a DOF extender device such as a pinhole, e.g. the Zörkendörfer TS-Dehner Set or any other quickley removable pinhole with precisely machined edge. Forget the artsy crap, this calls for precision machining. I have the Zörk for my bellows but no matching adaptor for my DFAs so I cant tell you if the result will illuminate the complete image circle on the sensor/film plane. I'll send the guy a mail if you want me to =) Besides whenever handheld isn't a must I use a tilt/shift bellows and put the focal plane where I like it best. In fact I am thinking very hard about the tilt/shift/rise/swing bellows currently in the bay... if I sold the other one I could perhaps even afford it Cheers Ecke -- 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.

camera.
Aha - the camera was packed with explosives. I assumed that the 'weapon
built into the video camera' was a gun of some kind. But of course for
maximum damage it would be a bomb...
It has the extra added attraction that the assassins aren't left around
to tell tails.

Just a portrait of my medium format camera.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20heratic.html
Equipment: Pentax K20D/w SMC Pentax FA 43mm f21.9 Limited.
Notes: Direct flash from camera pupup flash.
Further notes, the Medalist II was a camera ahead of it's time. Flash sync
included X (strobe), when few strobes were available, When the lens is
retracted, it's not a lot bigger than the K20D yet produces 6x9 negatives on
620 spooled film. The rangefinder is very accurate and easier to get used
to than that on a Leica IIIc, though I wouldn't want to use if as a stealthy
street camera. The shutter is extremely quiet though. Basically just 2.4
pounds of mid to late industrial age goodness...

Re: 50mm lenses and flare

Screw-in is better than clip-on ( fall-off). Metal is more
protective in crashes than plastic.

Yep. I use a metal lens hood from a 135/3.5 super takumar on my 50/1.4. It's
the perfect hood for a 50 on an APS sensor.

If I didn't want to go the institutional route, I'd leave them somewhere other than at the edge of the sidewalk, inches from the street, next to a parked car (although I acknowledge that the car may have parked next to the shoes sometime after they were placed there). Mind you, what makes sense to me likely doesn't make sense to the next guy, so maybe you're right. Maybe they're just being given away and the previous owner is hoping that some poor street person can make some use of them. They look so worn that one wonders if the previous owners were on the street...

PESO - Bikespotting in Kensington Market
So my little photo shoot yesterday went fine. In fact it was lots of fun. We talked to 11 people and 9 of them will be used in a full page spread in the next issue. I'm pretty excited about that and I'm quite satisfied with what I got. The article will be called Bikespotting. Of course, what I submit will be colour, but I couldn't resist converting a few. I'll put together a little GESO over the next day or so, but until then, this is one of my favorites. I don't know her name (the writer took all the notes, I just took the pictures), but she was cute as a button: http://mondociclismo.blogspot.com/2010/02/bikespotting-in-kensington-market.html Scroll down and click on photo to enlarge.

PESO -- Chartreuse Coupe.n Revisited
Some may remember this from a few years ago. I've been going through
some images for project and found this. I was never completely happy
with it originally so I decided to create a new version.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20chartreusecouperevisited.html
Equipment. Pentax *sst-Ds/w smc Pentax FA 28-200 f3.8~5.6.
Notes: The original background showed too much modernity which was a
bit distracting so I used a number of layers in Photoshop to try to make
for a smooth transition to the heavily Gaussian blurred background. I
then selected the portion of the car that was painted chartreuse created
a new layer from the selection and increased the saturation and bumped
it up to a slightly deeper green. Merged everything except the green
layer and converted that to BW using the Fotomatic BW Plus plugin with
the filtration set to red. It was a lot more work than I probably should
have spent on it.
As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Re: Silver K-7 (Limited 1000 edition) with nice focus screen IMO ;)
So after almost 10 years Pentax finally releases a camera body to match
the original Limited lenses. In a format they weren't originally
designed for. Anyone else see the Irony in that?

Re: 50mm lenses and flare
Can't say what my EXC really means compared to your B... It's very subjective. The 50/1.7 is an excellent choice in 50s. It's sharper wide open than the 1.4 model and handles close up work better. The lens formula is the same from M to A to F. The As were cheapened with a plastic aperture ring that occasionally fails but is very fixable. The f/1.4 models are only slightly faster and have slightly smoother bokeh, but past f/2.8 it's hard to tell a difference; they are made a little better, however. Stick with A or FA models in a 50/1.4, they share the same optical formula and are superior performers to the earlier models.
