At a glance I don't think those costumes would pass for cast at our local 
renfaire. 

No real bodice, and the one on the right looks like she's wearing purple.

They look like SCA, not renfaire. I'm way rusty, but I'd guess 14th century or 
earlier for the one on the left. I can't place the period for the one on the 
right. It's been 20 years since I played in the SCA regularly.

The difference is that rennies play it during the day for the run of faire, 
playing for the customers. Scadians will play year round all weekend long at an 
event, playing for each other. Also Renfaire (in theory) starts right when SCA 
leaves off, around 1600, and Renfaires are usually set in England, while 
Scadian personas are from pretty much any place in europe

Some of the first pictures I took with my K100Dsuper were of my helm when I 
cleaned it up to give it to my nephew:

I had an email conversation with the owner of DigiSol, a company that
makes exclusively cardreaders, and he said that an external reader is
always the better solution if oyu have the space because there are no
EMP regulations crippling performance or requiring the use of
expensive shielding or both.

Re: Lens Help

[David Parsons]

I have both the 50-200 and 55-300, and they are both great lenses for
the price.  I would consider the 55-300 as an upgrade lens to the
50-200.

If you want to compare samples, these two links are my shots with each:

50-200:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/alohadave/tags/smcpda50200mmf456ed/
55-300:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/alohadave/tags/smcpda55300mmf458ed/

To be honest, I stopped using the 50-200 after I got the 55-300, and I
haven't used it in about a year and a half.  I find that the 55-300
works great as a portrait lens, tack sharp.  The only real drawback to
the 55-300 is that the minimum focus distance is four feet, not a
problem most of the time, but it can be an issue.

The only reason I might recommend the 50-200 is size.  It's about half
the length and weight of the 55-300.  The 55-300 is about $140 more,
but both are bargain priced, IMO, for the quality.  One interesting
thing is that the 50-200 appears to be WR (plus the barrel is
redesigned from the version I have) , while the 55-300 isn't.  AFAICT,
Pentax isn't offering the non-WR version anymore.

Re: OT Card reader question

[Cotty]

FWIW I just bought Stef a Lexar CF/SD USB 2 card reader - his 1D only
takes CF cards and I was dubious about the cheap plug-in CF card readers
on the market after reading reviews. It hasn't arrived yet but will
report back when it does. I have a Lexar Firewire CF card reader but his
Macfanboybook (as opposed to Macfanboybook Pro) only has USB 2 ports.

Peso vote here

I went to the fire station today to vote, just before the polls closed. The

that something recently must have gotten me thinking of photos in small towns 
around election day.

It seems a bit slower than usual today but I wouldn't class it as
excruciatingly slow.  It's not really meant to be a web hosting site
(it's main purpose is online storage and synchronisation of files
between different computers) but hosting is a side benefit.  Normally I
find the speed acceptable.

Re: PESO: The One That Got Away

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Dominique and Ecke.  I also consider it a "fun" image, even
though it is by no means a good photograph is any sense of the term.
I especially like the way the fawn's feet are blurred into large
rectangular boots;  that really shows how fast his little legs were
movint.

Re: PESO -- Good Wives

[P. J. Alling]

Well, this was a Robin Hood themed fair, (and the local fair was none to 
accurate on footwear.  The general time period portrayed would then be 
Medieval, the King was Richard the Lionheart (~1200 AD),  though there 
was plenty of anachronism to go around.with actors in Late Medieval 
early renasance armor and a company of Renascence Landsknechts, parading 
about.  All in all about as confused about era as you'd expect an SCA 
group to be.  You don't have to explain the SCA to me, I used to hang 
out with people who were members, I even managed to talk other people 
into joining, never did myself.  Too silly especially when you consider 
that it was allowable to create a character from the Planet Gor, you 
might as well allow characters from thePolysotechnic leage\ or the 
Terran Empire.

At a glance I don't think those costumes would pass for cast at our local 
renfaire.

No real bodice, and the one on the right looks like she's wearing purple.

They look like SCA, not renfaire. I'm way rusty, but I'd guess 14th century or 
earlier for the one on the left. I can't place the period for the one on the 
right. It's been 20 years since I played in the SCA regularly.

The difference is that rennies play it during the day for the run of faire, 
playing for the customers. Scadians will play year round all weekend long at an 
event, playing for each other. Also Renfaire (in theory) starts right when SCA 
leaves off, around 1600, and Renfaires are usually set in England, while 
Scadian personas are from pretty much any place in europe

Re: PESO - A Teachable Moment

[Paul Sorenson]

Brakes are OK, but you don't want to use brakes when the tail is still 
up on a wheel landing (as compared to a 3-point landing) - expecially so 
close to touchdown.  If you look closely at this video of the landing 
you'll see smoke coming from the left wheel almost immediately on 
contact with the runway.  I suspect the pilot inadvertently had the 
brakes applied as he landed and didn't just "touch the brakes".  It *is* 
possible that there was a malfunction and the brakes locked up but that 
seems pretty remote.  In any case, he shouldn't have been on the brakes 
at all in that phase of the landing sequence.

I went to the fire station today to
vote, just before the polls closed. The clouds caught my
eye, and the fire station, and I grabbed the camera.  I
guess that something recently must have gotten me thinking
of photos in small towns around election day.

This is my favorite of the set:

Re: PESO - A Teachable Moment

[Bruce Dayton]

It has been very interesting to see you branch out into other genres.
It shows your versatility.  I like your composition here.  As you
can see, even the flying rats present some difficulties.  The adults
with their dark plumage on the head/neck make it much more difficult
to bring out the eye - which would improve this shot.  Lighting
becomes key here.

Keep at it and keep showing us all these new, wonderful shots of
yours!

Re: PESO - Fishy Beans

[Bruce Dayton]

#1 is nice, but I can't help but feel the fisheye effect needs more
exaggeration - maybe even a bit closer.  It just has that inbetween
feel for me - either a little more fisheye or a little less - I still
rather like it though.

#2 is pretty cool - much more abstract and not a view of the Bean
that I have seen before.

Nice work on both.

Yeah same here, I still have a PCMCIA SD reader kicking around... I
doubt it is more than a paperweight these days.

My niece Olivia, who I snapped blowing out her birthday candles above, 
asked my opinion on what dSLR she should save up for. She's going to be 
taking a photography course at high school in the fall semester, and 
decided her P&S wouldn't do.


Completely unbiased, I of course suggested the K-x. :)  Here's hoping

Footwear is hard, as are glasses. Also things vary a lot from faire to faire. 
The direct descendants of the original Ren Faire tend to be a lot stricter on

I don't know which SCA you hung out with, but the one I was a member of didn't 
allow personas from anything but medieval Europe, on Earth. Sure there were 
people who fudged and pretended that they had returned from Asia with Marco 
Polo and some such.   Occasionally, folks would slip under the radar, 
especially as newbies.

Then again, I've hung out at Marion Zimmer Bradley's (where the first event 
was) and people may be a bit more of sticklers "in the land where time began". 
:)

But that's all just pedantic quibbling.  The point of Ren Faire's, and the SCA 
is far more about recreation, than re-creation.

Re: PESO -- Good Wives

[P. J. Alling]

Really, there have been "Tuchux" at Pennsic for a 10 maybe 15 years 
now.  They're a tribe described in John Norman's Gor series.

Footwear is hard, as are glasses. Also things vary a lot from faire to faire. The direct 
descendants of the original Ren Faire tend to be a lot stricter on cast costumes than the 
"small faires".

   

The general time period portrayed would then be Medieval, the King was Richard 
the Lionheart (~1200 AD),  though there was plenty of anachronism to go 
around.with actors in Late Medieval early renasance armor and a company of 
Renascence Landsknechts, parading about.  All in all about as confused about 
era as you'd expect an SCA group to be.  You don't have to explain the SCA to 
me, I used to hang out with people who were members, I even managed to talk 
other people into joining, never did myself.  Too silly especially when you 
consider that it was allowable to create a character from the Planet Gor, you 
might as well allow characters from thePolysotechnic leage\ or the Terran 
Empire.
 

I don't know which SCA you hung out with, but the one I was a member of didn't 
allow personas from anything but medieval Europe, on Earth. Sure there were 
people who fudged and pretended that they had returned from Asia with Marco 
Polo and some such.   Occasionally, folks would slip under the radar, 
especially as newbies.

Then again, I've hung out at Marion Zimmer Bradley's (where the first event was) and 
people may be a bit more of sticklers "in the land where time began". :)

But that's all just pedantic quibbling.  The point of Ren Faire's, and the SCA 
is far more about recreation, than re-creation.

I've not been to Pennsic, but from everything I've heard it has grown far 
beyond being an SCA event in much the same way that Burning man has grown 
beyond a beach party.

Given an unlimited budget, and the free time, it would be fun to hit Pennsic, 
Worldcon and burningman all the same year.

that was my leaving present...

In fact, I've been moving stuff home all year, ever since the company was
bought out, in anticipation of this. Speeded up a bit last month when they
made it official. I've spent most of the last 3 weeks cataloguing and
polishing the loose paperclips I found in my desk drawer. I left nothing
behind but an old toothbrush, an empty Outlook file, and a bulging document
archive with a new password I typed with my eyes closed...

Holy mackerel!  I didn't realise that those things actually existed in
the wild.  I've only ever seen them on TV sitcoms...

That's a nicely composed and interesting photo.  The lead guy having a

You could just about say the same for my *ist-D

At the moment it's the emergency backup in case my K10D misbehaves; other from
that the last time I used it was (looks in image catalog) almost a year ago.

I suspect I'm likely to buy a K-7 (or, hopefully, a K-7x) before using the *istD
again, at which point it will become even more of a paperweight than it is 
today.

actually, that should read 'I would have been if _us_ lot hadn't killed all
our monks', seeing as how I'm probably of some Viking descent...

...thanks to you lot raping all our nuns.

RE: K-x pusher [PESO - Sixteen candles]

[John Coyle]

I did the same for my step-son's partner, recommended a K-x for their first
trip to Japan together.  I lent them my DA50-200 to supplement the 18-55 kit
lens, and she says she loved using it.  Haven't seen the photos yet,
unfortunately.

Has anyone yet regretted recommending or buying a K-x?

My niece Olivia, who I snapped blowing out her birthday candles above, 
asked my opinion on what dSLR she should save up for. She's going to be 
taking a photography course at high school in the fall semester, and 
decided her P&S wouldn't do.

Completely unbiased, I of course suggested the K-x. :)  Here's hoping 
that she sees the wisdom of that choice when she's finally got her money 
from her summer job in a couple of months' time.
