Re: Quake update
On Sep 10, 2010, at 5:24 PM, Larry Colen wrote: After our little 7.1 back in '89, one of the games I'd play was guessing the distance and magnitude of the aftershocks. The delta-T between the p-waves and the t-waves, along with the sharpness of the movement would give me a pretty good idea of the distance. I'd use that distance as a fudge factor on the intensity*time and guess the magnitude. By the time we stopped having aftershocks, my butt was a fairly well calibrated seismograph. Interesting :) I thought I was guessing about right but many of the aftershocks are being located within a couple of miles of my house. For a given shake I find I need to subtract about 1 from my estimate of the magnitude. But half the aftershocks are coming from the other end of the fault, maybe 30 miles away. They're all very shallow as well so the local ones are VERY sharp. They are definitely reducing in frequency. I saw a good graphic in a news article today... http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/canterbury-earthquake/4114666/Quake-Aftershocks-for-weeks Just found there's a wikipedia page about our quake. Never thought to look... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Canterbury_earthquake Good luck, try to enjoy the ride. I got out of the house today and that's really helped a lot. I've been cooped up in here for most of the week, spending the daylight hours alone and trying to work. I went for a 2hr walk in the morning, then I went for a ride on my new bike (its first ride, it's only been a week). Found some fairly substantial cracking on a road that I've been riding in the mornings lately. Didn't take a camera, sorry. Then after lunch I managed to get into the city and pick up my commuter bike. Major milestone there and another weight off my mind as I had no idea what state it was in (exactly as I left it). Overall I was really surprised by what I saw in town. After I got back I was a complete zombie so I took our bean bag out into the sun and had a snooze. Despite the media photos, the CBD looks almost totally fine. Standing in Cathedral Square, I could see a bit of cosmetic cracking at the top of the facade of the building that houses the city aquarium. Some of the paving stones looked a little lumpy in one place but that could have been caused by food vendors parking heavy stuff on them. Other than that, nothing. The cathedral showed no evidence of damage that I could see. Same goes for the old post office building. All the recent strengthening work will have saved many of our historic buildings. There are still a few streets blocked so I couldn't see much there, and I know a couple of buildings are being demolished, but I really struggled to find much in the way of obvious damage. I didn't see any red placards (which says a building is off-limits). I haven't downloaded the pics from the camera yet but I'll have a look and put a couple up later. Having said that, a couple of suburbs have been hit hard, and so has the town of Kaiapoi. They were affected pretty badly by liquefaction and a lot of houses are being condemned after their foundations have been compromised. Some areas will need their sewer system totally rebuilt and the residents will be stuck with portaloos for a while yet. One thing that I learned is that it is good to have a contact number that is out of the local region. During an emergency, nobody can dial into any local numbers, but it's easy to call someone out of the area. So have a relative, or close friend who lives at least a few hundred klicks, or miles away that you can have people call in case of an emergency (quake, flood etc.) in your area. I didn't think of that, it makes sense as the local exchanges would be overloaded and calling a local number would tie up two connections. Both our fathers live out of town so we should be OK. Note the telephone service suffered no interruptions for us. The cell networks were borderline and they were asking people to send text messages instead of making voice calls whenever possible. The power outages caused some cellphone sites to cut out when their backup batteries ran out, but we didn't notice any problems. I still find it utterly amazing how well our city withstood this disaster. It certainly won't be causing our incumbent mayor any problems in the upcoming local-body elections. He's going to romp in. He has been absolutely outstanding in his response and his communication handling of the media throughout.

The theater was filled with a elderly mother and her daughter, and ME! I got there early and chose the center handicapped seat with empty spaces on either side.

I doubt it will come with a fully functional K mount adaptor though - that or it will have a fully electronic mount and a very costly adaptor with an electromechanic aperture actuator. Personally, I am still hoping for the DA*11-16/2.8 or at least WR versions of some of their existing glass... Cheers Ecke Right, each of us would have their own specific desire for a specific lens (e.g. what you said or that rumored Tokina 16.5-1x5) or a specific camera feature. E.g. that rumor that Pentax will introduce new flashes and enable 1/250 sync speed created a bit of a stir on PentaxForums. Evidently some photographers find it very important. I should also point out that I made a passing comment there that perhaps Pentax will introduce some kind of wireless image transfer system and so they did. Though /personally/ I find IR rather deprecated technology for this kind of things, but go figure. Finally, everyone has their own specific rhythm or tempo of upgrades of their cameras. Some, like Paul Stenquist shoot really a lot and have a chance to upgrade often. Some, like me, got started from *istD, and so they upgrade every other major upgrade (*istD, K10D, K-7) as opposed to K20D and K-5 respectively. I can see many people having K10D's and K20D's and holding up so far, but now upgrading to this new camera like I did from K10D to K-7. At this moment, I see no reason to upgrade until any of my camera bodies breaks down. However K10D is not being used as intensively as it used to be and with just 4 years and 22,000+ exposures it is still going very strong. This holiday season I decided we needed to make a number of prints for Galia and our family album. I should say that images from K10D are just brilliant. I am printing 13x18 cm (5x7 inches, or something like that).

Shouldn't be a problem under most conditions, since focus will change very little for most shots in a one-second span. I'm certainly not worried about it.

I'm very especially fond of this one , http://www.robertstech.com/galleries/banff2010/7da04027.html I should post my lake louise view at some point to emphasise the difference in the glacier but my hand held photos back then were decidedly soft. ann -- 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: Photos from the CBD
Dave, I didn't catch on to 'panelbeaters' being what we call auto 'bodyshops' here until my second view of the pictures. Ann's comments are very appropriate. You did a good photo essay and I recognized locations from our brief visit several years ago. I still remember the hotel on the square, the Clarion House (??). I remember wondering about earthquakes at the time as a main structural element ran across the hotel room directly above the bed. It would be very unnerving to spend nights alone during this crisis.

Re: Semi-OT: Advice for a beginner?
If it were me I'd double or triple the Walmart price and call it good. $50 or less is something most parents would find reasonable and it's not a lot of money for you, but it does compensate you a bit for your time.

He's seen some of my photography and asked if I'd be interested in doing some team photos for them -- soccer and basketball. I told him I'd be interested in doing it, but I've never done that sort of thing before. He essentially said the main thing the kids' parents are concerned about is pricing, and feels pretty confident that I'm competent enough to handle the task based on what he's seen. Thing is, given my lack of experience, I'm not sure how much to charge these parents. I can go through Walmart for the prints, which seem to be pretty reasonably priced -- the standard sports package being $15.00. I don't know if any of you have any experience in this type of work at all, but any guidance would be much appreciated. I've never done any sort of professional work at all, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how much I can fairly charge these people for my work. But, I'd like to be able to make a buck or two someday, if only to subsidize my photography addiction.
