You see, I played tennis a lot when I was a student. Just for fun, really. Say, I played 2-4 times a week throughout several years, and each time it was between 1 and 2 hours. I developed tennis elbow and my right hand (around the elbow area, for lack of proper term) became visibly bigger than the left one. If you consider the body movements of the game of tennis you will see that it is highly asymmetrical sport. Perhaps swimmers have more balanced bodies as it is said that swimming helps to offset the damage that tennis has on one's body.

OT: Food
Marinade a meals worth of chicken thighs in an orange/chipotle sauce for a few hours. Simmer slowly in butter until about 90% cooked and then add three or four sliced strawberries per thigh. Continue cooking until strawberries have cooked down to a sauce. The best food is simple. This is both simple and incredible, and combines well with a salad of spinach, strawberries and mandarin orange segments.

Sorry, Dropbox is a file
hosting/backup site. Since it's free if
someone hosts a virus on their share, intentional or
unintentionally
some antivirus software blacklists the whole domain.
I really don't
have any control over that unfortunately. Hopefully
the management is
working on it now. Unfortunately Norton won't remove
their block until
they know it's been cleaned.

Re: Managing image files
- Original Message - From: "Eric Weir" On Jul 12, 2010, at 1:02 PM, Bob W wrote: try Lightroom Thanks, Bob. Curious -- how does it differ from Elements? Hi Eric: I started with Elements, then soon tried Lightroom, and I've never wanted to use Elements again. I find Lightroom's photo management excellent, and I use Lightroom to upload to my web site for my PESOs and GESOs, and I'm going to use it for my online portfolio as well (I actually worked on that a bit today). It's s easy to do this once you have a web site. I HATE Elements' organizer for it's management stuff. Can't stand it. Clunky for me to use. Also, I really don't want to spend a lot of time with Photoshop layers and such. I want to try to take good pictures in-camera, so I have shorter post-process time. Because I can't do overly obsessive localized editing, I know I have to do good camera work to get an acceptable shot. Easier said than done to be sure, but I try. Anyway, using Lightroom helps me in this goal. Though you can do quite a bit of post-processing with Lightroom, and I checked out Lightroom 3 today, and wow, I want it, but I don't have 2 gigs of RAM or service pack 3. (Just had a conversation with hubby over dinner about the possibility of a new computer.) If you can, you should download a free trial of Lightroom 3. I'm pretty darn sure you'll like it.

I must say that taking photos from a boat bobbing in the water, with the 80-200 in full-zoom is quite tricky. Got a few good shots, though.

I'm not entirely sure what Doug refers to as "portfolios capabilities". Lightroom has image management capabilities, that is: - it knows where the image files you've told it about are, both on live and off-line volumes - it allows you to add keywords and other metadata to annotate the photos it is managing - it has a great deal of search and browse capabilities (and again that refers to photos on live and off-line volumes) as well as facilities for sorting, grading, renaming, and organizing images to speed workflow. - it allows you to do the bulk of standard photographic editing required to raw, JPEG, TIFF and PSD image files (crop, spot, tonal and color adjustments, etc), all with the same UI on the same tool set, non-destructively. It's editing capabilities stop short of anything having to do with multiple image compositing (anything associated with HDR or panorama compositing, for instance) or pixel-level editing (actually changing specific individual pixel values of the original files). - it has well-integrated facilities to open images for editing in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and other pixel-level image processing applications when that level of functionality is required, all the while keeping them organized within the Lightroom scope of operations. - it provides four convenient and template-able output facilities ... export, slide show, print and web ... to generate rendered versions of your original files for use outside the Lightroom environment. - it can be used to edit one photo at a time or an arbitrary number of photos simultaneously, for both metadata or image rendering. The presets and templates allow you to design development instructions, export, slide show, printing and web gallery layouts once and then apply them at any time to whatever photo or group of photos you choose. In sum, Lightroom is an image-management application with a great depth of image processing services. Photoshop and similar applications are image processing applications. Lightroom is designed to work stand-alone and with other image processing applications to allow construction of appropriate policies and operations suitable for a complete photographic workflow. -- 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.

Be Careful of KEH
De-Lurking for a while. Be careful when dealing with KEH. I used to be a big fan of theirs and made frequent purchases of Pentax gear. Until two years ago. That was when I bought two items in rapid succession that arrived 'incomplete' contrary to their description. And I immediately requested permission to ship back the items. They simply ignored both requests, ignored mailed requested, ignored telephone calls. All requests for permission to return were done within their 'grace period.' You'd think they would be more responsive to a guy that offices right across the street from the Courthouse, but even a letter on my "Official Lawyer" letterhead got no response. Both items were under $100. But Still ... In other words, don't trust them unless you are willing to give up and simply throw what you paid for into the trash.

OT Back and finally a steady heart beat.........
..OR, why i decided never to be a wedding or wadding photographer.:-) Wedding went well, shot about 550 frames, and despite the nervousness on my part, muddled through it quite well I'd have to say. What i thought would be a fully out door wedding was in fact under an open sided large wood gazebo with solid roof. Bride and groom stood right at the sun/shade line. When i saw that at the rehearsal Friday, i went into "oh no" mode. But a ton of practice shots proved fulfilling and the actual day went well. Fill flash worked great, only had a few over and or under exposed shots. Bride had a list of shots she wanted and one of the bridesmaids had a list on how the3 family shots needed to go, its a large family here. This proved invaluable. Now to sort and adjust.

There were any number of games during the Cup that were tense, and filled with drama, even though neither team had scored, or maybe only one once. I can appreciate basketball -- which, leaving aside some important differences, like the size of the court/field, and the length of the game, is actually pretty similar to soccer -- but the back-and-forth, from one end of the court to the other, with scoring happening on the order of every minute or two, strikes me as verging a bit on the hyperactive side. -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net -- 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.

It may have gotten a lot better, but I thought it was rather annoying. I used to use Bibble pro, which had two great features: It is relatively inexpensive. It'll run on Linux, Mac and Windows. The upgrade from Bibble 4 to Bibble 5 took so long that in the meantime I moved to lightroom. I was able to get great prices through a friend at adobe and bought both lightroom and photoshop. I hardly ever use photoshop, and LR3 now has most of the features from PS that I used to do use. All in all, I like lightroom. It does pretty much all of the editing stuff I need, and it is great for managing the files. It also has the major advantage of being the software that most people seem to use, which makes it easy to find someone to ask when you can't figure out how to do something. Unfortunately, this comes up much more than I'd like because there doesn't seem to be any good way to figure out if lightroom will do something, and if so how. I've got several books on lightroom, and if you don't happen to know what they call a particular task, you can be SOL trying to find it in the index. There have been several times that when I look up the word for what I want to do, lightroom uses that word to do something vaguely similar, but not what I need. There is also a fair bit of religion involved in some of the subtleties of the workflow. Godfrey puts on a good class on how to use LR, but that'll only help you if you're close to the bay area. -- 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.

CRT's only briefly illuminate the pixels and do so at the refresh rate (IE at 60Hz each pixel is illuminated 60 times a second). The issue with LCD's and refresh rate is in how quickly the screen will be updated. At a 60Hz refresh rate pixels will only be updated every 60th of a second as teh computer is only sending the screen updates 60 times a second, higher refresh rates allow quicker screen updates which is an issue for gamers running at high fps rates. There's essentially no reason to ever run an LCD at anything other than 60Hz if you aren't running an application that requires high fps rates. -- M.

I got mine off of EBay about 3 years ago for about $90. $160-220 seems steep.
I've seen them on the PentaxForums marketplace for the "around $100" range as well.
I've been on the hunt for an AF version of that same lens so that I'll have a small/light

Re: Pentax-A SMC 28mm f/2.8 F2.8
I thought I sent a message to this effect to the list earlier, but it seems not. Anyway, I was not able to be at home in the final hours of bidding on this lens on eBay. I left a maximum bid, but the other guy got it for $1.00 more-- $81. Apparently that was a steal, as the remaining lenses of this type on eBay are all in the $160 to $220 range. Is this what I should expect to pay? While I'm at it, did any other manufacturers produce lenses that are equivalent to the A series?

Re: PESO - SVT
Nice =) IMHO your framing is just a wee bit on the tight side but I like your composition a lot. Quick additional comment about this shot http://www.flickr.com/photos/bruce_m_walker/2876773651/in/set-72157607590047251/ The Isetta is not a threewheeler, it has four wheels, two each on a wide front and a narrow rear axle. Because of this it was nicknamed in Germany the "Schlaglochsuchgerät", i.e. "pothole searching device" - you just don't miss them with a four track vehicle...

Managing image files
I took my "new" *ist D to a community kitchen event yesterday and got my first set of serious images, i.e., when I wasn't just fooling around to see how the thing works. Judging from the images as displayed on the camera's LCD there may be a couple good ones among them. I'd appreciate any advice folks here might have on what I gather is called "work flow."

At this point I find it very confusing. I'd like to have a way of sorting through images, naming them where appropriate, and categorizing and filing them before I turn them over to iPhoto or its ilk.

Re: PESO -- East Grand Avenue Bridge
Sorry, Dropbox is a file hosting/backup site. Since it's free if
someone hosts a virus on their share, intentional or unintentionally
some antivirus software blacklists the whole domain. I really don't
have any control over that unfortunately. Hopefully the management is
working on it now. Unfortunately Norton won't remove their block until
they know it's been cleaned.
