PESO x2: Hanmer Foreset

Two scenes from the forest tracks near the end of the Hanmer Half Marathon course I ran a while back. http://www.multi.net.nz/hanmer/ I took these the week after that event as we spent the night in Hanmer on our way back from Blenheim where I'd run another half marathon. Please forgive the rendering, they're quick-n-dirty HDRs done on my uncalibrated laptop screen while I've been trying out Photoshop CS5 with pretty much zero time to really come to grips with it.

Monitor advice wanted
Hi all, I'm planning to upgrade to a reasonably good LCD monitor in the near future. Are there any models that offer high quality at good value? Sadly I don't have the budget for an Eizo but I have been eyeing up the IPS Dell ones. Apple are out as they don't have DVI. Apart from that I'm pretty much open. I'm shopping in the 24 to 27 range. I'd like one that I could rotate to portrait orientation but that's not a deal-breaker (in fact it could be more of a pain than it's worth). In addition, what's going on with calibrators these days?

On the TV they're amazingly deep, even better than the 2475w. And the TV is a fairly cheap one. But it made me think ... the 2475w is a 24 monitor that goes for over US$ 500, but I could get a 27 or 28 1080p LCD TV for maybe US$ 350 on sale. So I'm seriously thinking about doing that to see if the color rendition is there.

Re: Monitor advice wanted
If you're looking at Dells, I'm pretty happy with my Dell 24 U2408, but recently ordered a 27 U2711 as Dell had a special which worked out to about A$630, which I couldn't pass up. These monitors have a wide-colour gamut, which allows more flexibility in calibration. The U2711 is also one of few monitors, along with the likes of the expensive HP DreamColour series, that supports 30-bit colour. This requires a quadro level graphics card, though, so you'd be looking at a serious investment. Anyway, I can't comment on the U2711 quite yet, but certainly the specs look right, and high res (2560x1440) - I probably would've rather 16:10 than 16:9, but that's getting rarer now. The U2410 is probably another good option, also wide gamut, 1920x1200. Note the U2711 won't swivel with its supplied stand. The U2410 will. - Peter -Original Message- From: David Mann Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 6:27 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Monitor advice wanted Hi all, I'm planning to upgrade to a reasonably good LCD monitor in the near future.

Photographers not terrorists
Section 44 of the Terrorism Act has been used in recent years to stop search people, including photographers, illegally. Today the government announced that it is bringing the legislation into line with the ruling of the European court. This means that the police can no longer use Section 44 in the way they were using it before, and can only stop search people now under Section 43, which requires a *reasonable suspicion* that the person is a terrorist - taking photographs is normally unlikely to be a reasonable suspicion. This is good news for human rights in the UK, including us specifically as photographers, and a triumph for the people who originally brought the case in front of the courts. http://photographernotaterrorist.org/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/10555430.stm It's still illegal under Section 72 to elicit information about a police officer.

All the earlier talk about Raw Shooter made me a bit nostalgic, so I
reinstalled RSE and used that as a converter. I had forgotten how
nicely it worked. Just took a little effort to relearn the interface.

Re: Photographers not terrorists
2010/7/8 Bob W p...@web-options.com: It won't stop officious security guards and similar from trying to stop us, but they have no powers of arrest or search. don't forget citizen's arrest, pepper spray and the dangerous delusions that go along with them - I was witness of the state in an assault and battery trial against four tram ticket inspectors in Cologne a couple years ago. two of the ticket people had cornered an African tourist who spoke only French and admittedly had no ticket. buddy was like 170 cm tall and skinny and the guards were three guys of 190+ and a roid bumped female Chuck Norris. They had him backed up against a pole on the streetcar and were trying to get some ID from him and he kept saying in French he didn't have any on him. Main defendant started pushing him and he was visibly scared and raised his hands to chest level in a clear give up gesture. This was enough of an excuse I guess as the guy banged the back of his head into the pole a couple times, lifted him by the throat, carried him off the train that had just stopped, slammed him into one of those plexiglass stalls, all still by the throat and then down onto a bench where he choked him some more. All the time there was no resistance. This is when I finally got physically close enough to do something. Another guy and I stepped in, stopped them and called the police. The ticket guys not only refused to give ID which, them being public servants, was against the law but also produced little scraps of paper which had §127 paragraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Code printed on them, i.e. the law governing citizen's arrest and actually tried to make us believe 127 justified their behaviour. They did identify themselves to police and charges were pressed by the public attorney meaning this was not considered a minor offense. The sentences were pretty high given they were all first offenders, three were fined 3 monthly salaries each and the main defendant got four plus 3 months on parole. He also appealed the sentence so I had to come again and the judge told him outright to withdraw his appeal or he would get a higher sentence yet. He complied. But all the while before and after the court sessions all four kept pestering us in the hallway that they had done nothing wrong and so on and bla bla and I think they actually believed it, too. -- 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.

They had him backed up against a pole on the streetcar and were trying to get some ID from him and he kept saying in French he didn't have any on him. Main defendant started pushing him and he was visibly scared and raised his hands to chest level in a clear give up gesture. This was enough of an excuse I guess as the guy banged the back of his head into the pole a couple times, lifted him by the throat, carried him off the train that had just stopped, slammed him into one of those plexiglass stalls, all still by the throat and then down onto a bench where he choked him some more. All the time there was no resistance. This is when I finally got physically close enough to do something. Another guy and I stepped in, stopped them and called the police. Good for you. It's not often that bystanders will stand up for the oppressed. Bravo! The ticket guys not only refused to give ID which, them being public servants, was against the law but also produced little scraps of paper which had §127 paragraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Code printed on them, i.e. the law governing citizen's arrest and actually tried to make us believe 127 justified their behaviour. They did identify themselves to police and charges were pressed by the public attorney meaning this was not considered a minor offense. The sentences were pretty high given they were all first offenders, three were fined 3 monthly salaries each and the main defendant got four plus 3 months on parole. He also appealed the sentence so I had to come again and the judge told him outright to withdraw his appeal or he would get a higher sentence yet. He complied. But all the while before and after the court sessions all four kept pestering us in the hallway that they had done nothing wrong and so on and bla bla and I think they actually believed it, too. -- 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. -- 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.

Bob W wrote: within the next few years, defacto illegal to use an SLR in public. William Robb it's up to us to resist it as often as we can The problem is, we don't resist. We let the bullies have their way, and the next time they are more empowered, more confident in their righteousness and more aggressive in their methods. I'm reminded of dogs running a fence every time I read of a photographer being harassed for having a large camera. They will never pick on a group of photographers, so the people who go out en masse and feel empowered because they weren't harassed are doing no good whatsoever. William Robb it's up to us individually to resist it. Earlier this evening I went to an event organised by the Royal Photographic Society Visual Journalism Group, in which Lord (Dennis) Healey showed his photos and answered questions. He's 93 now, but he is one of the most senior British politicians of the 2nd half of the 20th century, having held many of the great offices of state, including Defence Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer (Finance Minister) during most of the Vietnam era and the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland. One of the questions was along the lines of 'as a photographer and former Defence Secretary, do you think the current state of security justifies stopping and arresting photographers in Central London?' His answer was 'No - it's absolute rubbish'.

PESO - Sweltering Night
You know it's a hot, humid night when condensation appears on your glass of ice water: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2010/07/sweltering-night.html Today whilst cycling around town, the hottest thermometer I saw indicated 97F, around 36C. With the humidex (how hot it actually feels due to the humidity) the temps were well over 100F, 40C. I figure I drank at least 6 to 8 litres of water while cycling, and lots more ice water this evening (see photo above). cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.

PESO - For Jack
Do I recall you saying you like Red Winged Blackbirds? I know I've seen some wonderful photos of them from you, Jack.

RE: Refconverter M
Thanks Bob, that's good. And thanks to Ecke, PJ, John and Darren for your pearls of wisdom too. I'll let you know if (probably when!) I acquire one.

Re: Monitor advice wanted

I just looked at the Dell site. The models I'm looking at are the U2410 (NZ$1,099) and U2711 (NZ$1,799). If I could get a price like that I wouldn't hesitate. The U2711 is also one of few monitors, along with the likes of the expensive HP DreamColour series, that supports 30-bit colour. This requires a quadro level graphics card, though, so you'd be looking at a serious investment. Probably not a bonus for me then as I'll be using it with my Macbook Pro. I have a friend who owns a DreamColor display but I haven't had the pleasure of seeing it. Note the U2711 won't swivel with its supplied stand. The U2410 will. The only thing that really attracts me to the 27 is the higher pixel count. I'm intending to use it in fullscreen mode with the laptop display being used for toolboxes. I get frustrated editing portrait-orientation photos on my wide laptop screen so being able to pivot the monitor around would be a bonus. I could just buy a third-party stand for the 27. Thanks a lot for your input.

Are there any models that offer high quality at good value? I /love/ my HP 2475w IPS monitor, but they're still a bit expensive at over US$ 500 or so. Thanks for that, it's actually quite a bit cheaper than the Dells I'm looking at (LP2475w = NZ$860) so is worth a look. I'll do a bit of reading. I recently hooked up a PC to my LCD TV and was frankly shocked at the pleasant rendition and color depth of the display. And the /blacks/! On the TV they're amazingly deep, even better than the 2475w. And the TV is a fairly cheap one. But it made me think ... the 2475w is a 24 monitor that goes for over US$ 500, but I could get a 27 or 28 1080p LCD TV for maybe US$ 350 on sale. So I'm seriously thinking about doing that to see if the color rendition is there. If it is, I'll just buy TVs for high gamut monitors for photo work. :-) Interesting idea, I wonder if I could use that excuse to get a 60 plasma :) Dave -- 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.
