RE: forgot the url again.

[John Coyle]

Nice stuff there Ted.
I went recently to a local air museum that has a number of British
warplanes, including a Hawker Hunter which was built while I worked for
Hawker Aircraft Co. in 1956.  This was quite spooky, as it is very possible
that some of the cockpit canopy parts were those I had treated when I spent
six weeks in the anodising plant.  At least they had obviously not failed,
so maybe I did a better job than an inattentive apprentice usually did!

RE: For those who wants spec sheets before announcement

[John Coyle]

Tan, I do the same thing too.  Three of my grandchildren were here for the
last two days, and taking shots of them dancing you have to be quick, no
time to muck about with menus and buttons.  The alternative is manual
focussing, pre-set usually to where the action point will be - a technique I
used when there was a sack-race for the kids at another grandchild's
birthday recently.  I have to say that I am a bit of a Luddite when it comes
to some of the fancy features on today's digital cameras: it's sometimes
hard to see the point (pun intended!).  I think it was Weegee who said that
the secret of his success in photography was "F8 and be there" - I go along
with that.

This is an interesting line of conversation for me, as I NEVER use anything
BUT the centre focus point.  I am in such a habit of positioning that point
on whatever I want in focus and half-pressing to lock it, then moving the
camera to recompose the shot, I find it clumsy and time-consuming to play
with focus points.  Especially, when I am shooting fast moving kids, it is
so intuitive to me now, to do as I just mentioned and I just don't even
think about it anymore.

Would I benefit, do you think from changing this habit and selecting
individual focus points?  Is there a way of doing this quickly, and without
lots of button pressing?

Tan. :)

While I don't do a lot of studio portraiture, I do some, and I frequently
shoot people. I admit I sometimes have to reposition from the top or second
tier outside point before clicking the shutter. I guess I've learned to live
with that inconvenience and don't even think about it. But a few more points
in that area wold be helpful. However, I still want the fast, low-light lock
on the most. That would make ti a winner for me.

4 way controller on the back can be set up to do it. The selected one
lights up in the viewfinder. It works well for all subjects moving
semi-fast and slower


FWIW, the selected point also shows up on the rear "info" display (on the K7).

Re: Prophoto RGB, gamma and other Qs

[Fernando]

Thanks Godfrey,  I went with the Eye One Display 2 based on your
advice -and with Bill Robb later confirmation as well.

Today I got a batch of prints done at my local Photo Lab
(http://www.pikto.ca/). It's close to my place and has profiles
available -I used their Frontier+Fuji Matte Paper.
I`m happy with the result, even viewing under tungsten light prints
match fairly well -had to play with some of the options in photoshop
soft proof menu though.

Finally no more darker prints: thanks to Mark's Monitor tips and the
i1 calibration recommended by Godfrey, now I have an affordable color
calibrated setup and I even successfully played with skin tones
(wouldn't dare before) -testing lightroom as well, found that nudging
the red and orange I get better skin tones (Hue Red +20, Lum Orange
+18 and Sat Red -9) still found Capture One pro skin tools more useful
though (using both tools on trial for now).

And speaking on Lightroom V3, that B&W module is awesome -better than
anything I tried other than PS. I rescued a couple of shots with the
conversion tool in a couple of minutes:

But the best investment so far this year has been getting Bruce
Fraser's Real World Sharpening for $7, it's an old book and refers to
older versions of CS2 but still relevant
http://www.amazon.com/World-Image-Sharpening-Adobe-Photoshop/dp/0321449916/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_7

Later and hope everything is ok

Been sort'a wondering why we hadn't read or seen anything from you for awhile. 
"The" Penguin shot had no chance of not making the Premier Collection. 
Validates the process for me.

Hi folks,

Just thought I had to share a bit of news re: the penguin shot from
the exhibition in Chicago. I submitted it to the Pentax Gallery, and
it has been accepted into the Premier Collection. :-)

Hope to join the list actively again once my life gets down to a more
normal level of activity. And maybe do some photography myself again
too.

Take care, guys and gals.

Re: OT - Sistine Chapel

[Stan Halpin]

I kept thinking the same thing at numerous sites in Rome that obviously had not 
been planned for electric lights, air conditioning, etc. Who did the retrofit!
We were there in 2009. The Chapel speakers are used for periodic announcements 
asking visitors to be respectful, to be quiet, and to not take photographs. The 
announcements are somewhat drowned out by the noise of camera shutters and 
people talking. But it is a marvelous place if you can ignore the noise. The 
virtual visit Cotty pointed us to is great but being there in person makes the 
lines and crowds and noise level all worthwhile.

Perhaps, but I suppose Michel's aim is to out this guy as a plagiarist.
No doubt the English translation is useful, but for Dave Schneller to
simply publish it without any sort of acknowledgment is inexcusable.

I've had a similar experience with a (non photographic) web site I
manage and the guilty party apologized and took down the copied pages.
I hope Michel posts the outcome in this case.



Is the alleged offender, Dave Schneller, associated with the PDML in any 
way? I don't recognize the name.

I paid $250 for my converted G3.

Re: Monitor Calibration System

[P N Stenquist]

My Spider 2 calibrated iMac 24 is a perfect match for my Epson R2880   
and R 2400 output with the brightness turned all the way down. Perhaps  
I just got lucky, but it's a completely adequate monitor for both  
printing and publishing. I have an Apple Cinema Display 23 sitting  
alongside, an dit doesn't show as good a range of highlight and shadow  
detail as the iMac 24. However, I have heard all the complaints, and  
the brightness does have to be turned all the way down for  
photographic rendering.

Re: K7 versus K5

[Jeffery Smith]

That's what I was looking for. Thanks Paul. I haven' run into some of the 
autofocus problems that others have experienced with the Pentax dSLRs, so I 
don't know if it is a design flaw or a quality control problem that people are 
experiencing. But I don't really use many lenses with a huge focusing throw 
(like macro) where the lens searches a lot for a focus. My macro is on an 
Olympus E-1 (and it can be problematic on that camera).

Much better autofocus and exposure control than the Kx, along with much higher

K7 versus K5

[Jeffery Smith]

I realize that there was a protracted thread on this that veered off course a 
bit. Can anyone offer (in a sentence or two) why a person who has a K-7 would 
want to or need to upgrade to a K-5? Would a K-5 be considered to have the 
improvements of a K-x but in a much more durable body?

Re: PESO: Alabaster & Coal

[Walter Gilbert]

  Thank you, Michael!

The thing I like most about the shot is that it has made me a more 
confident photographer.  I'm not nearly as hesitant about approaching 
potential subjects as I was before taking this one.  In that sense, it's 
opened up a new outlet for me -- which is a real benefit.


Thanks again!

Looks a bit dark on my uncalibrated screen but still, just a lovely
portrait.  Those eyes are nice and sharp, lovely softness at the edges
of her face.  That very OOF face in the background really adds a feel
of mystery.

A winner!

Re: PESO: Alabaster & Coal

[Walter Gilbert]

   Thanks, Dave.

I was pretty pleased with the results, considering it was my first 
attempt at photography of that type.


Of course, it doesn't hold a candle to Danny Santos's work, which I've 
been smitten with since I first discovered it on one of those "funny and 
interesting" type link aggregation sites.

not up to his standards, but I thought it wasn't too shabby as a first

Re: For those who wants spec sheets before announcement

[P N Stenquist]

I think you would benefit from choosing a focus point in situations  
where DOF is minimal. Repositioning after locking in focus slightly  
alters the distance from lens to subject. It can be a significant  
difference when shooting a tight portrait, for example, with a lens of  
moderate focal length -- say a 40 mm lens. When shooting moving kids I  
usually go for the center spot on top or in the second row. That   
comes closer to the eye level than does the center spot. Changing  
focal points is quick and easy once you get used to it. My thumb now  
does it automatically, and my brain nows that if I'm on the top spot  
and want to go to the left spot in the second row from the bottom,  
it's three clicks down and one left.

Ok, Found the specs at DPReview. I take it SAFOX IX+ is a  
crippled whore

that can run a little faster?
Note to Pentax: Put a new AF into your cameras and stop hobbling  
them

with an 11 point system.


I think I'll wait to hear from someone who has actually TRIED the K5
autofocus before passing judgement. I always pick my own focus  
points, and
11 are adequate. All I want is better lock on. The K7 is a lot  
better than
the K20. I suspect this camera will be another significant  
improvement. But

like I said, I'm not going to pass judgement, based on the DP whiners.


Obviously we don't have the same wants in a camera, 11 points in the
current emulation is at best adequate sometimes, and at worst is  
inadequate
much of the time.  I always pick my AF point as well, and sometimes,  
there

is even a focus point where I want it to be.
The major exception to this is studio portraiture (which you don't  
do a
lot of), where the end point isn't ever in the right spot and the  
next tier

in is too close to the center to be of any use.
I wouldn't mind the 11 point AF if they'd move the points around a  
bit to
make them useful, but I suspect that losing the left hand point and  
moving
it to the right side and moving both end sensors off center halfway  
between
the location of the mid point sensors would cause the people who  
think the
present system is adequate to whine like a 747 coming in for a  
landing.


While I don't do a lot of studio portraiture, I do some, and I  
frequently
shoot people. I admit I sometimes have to reposition from the top or  
second
tier outside point before clicking the shutter. I guess I've learned  
to live
with that inconvenience and don't even think about it. But a few  
more points
in that area wold be helpful. However, I still want the fast, low- 
light lock

on the most. That would make ti a winner for me.

Could this not be partially attributable to the SR "settling down" after the

The K20D was so good at it, as it only needed to press the unmistakable 
'4-way ring' while looking through the viewfinder.
The K-7 is a lot worse, as you have to find the proper arrow button (no 
longer a ring, unfortunately) and you risk to press the evil LV button 
instead. It happens to me about 50% of the times, thus resulting in the Live 
View screen flashing in your eye, while the viewfinder blacks-out! I find 
this the most annoying step back of the K-7 upon the K10D/K20D series. I've 
asked Pentax to update the K-7/K-5 firmware so that the LV button can be 
disabled, while re-assigning the LV function to the trash button, which has 
no use while shooting. To no avail, of course!

They've created a listing and a "notify when in stock" button. Hoping the
price comes down a bit when it's actually in the store. They frequently do
that.

GESO from trip to local air museum

[tbeilby]

Sunday, our photo society, PSNWA, paid a visit to the Arkansas Air Museum 
here in Fayetteville. We were able to get into the museum a couple of hours 
before it was open to the public. We were hoping to be able to roll a few 
aircraft outside but the weather precluded that. I decided to tryout the HDR 
function on my K 7 and found that it worked well for some shots but others I 
prefered the normal exposure. Most shots were jpegs but some were raws. All 
were postprocessed in LR2.

4 way controller on the back can be set up to do it. The selected one
lights up in the viewfinder. It works well for all subjects moving

RE: For those who wants spec sheets before announcement

[Tanya Love]

This is an interesting line of conversation for me, as I NEVER use anything
BUT the centre focus point.  I am in such a habit of positioning that point
on whatever I want in focus and half-pressing to lock it, then moving the
camera to recompose the shot, I find it clumsy and time-consuming to play
with focus points.  Especially, when I am shooting fast moving kids, it is
so intuitive to me now, to do as I just mentioned and I just don't even
think about it anymore.

Would I benefit, do you think from changing this habit and selecting
individual focus points?  Is there a way of doing this quickly, and without
lots of button pressing?

Tan. :)

While I don't do a lot of studio portraiture, I do some, and I frequently
shoot people. I admit I sometimes have to reposition from the top or second
tier outside point before clicking the shutter. I guess I've learned to live
with that inconvenience and don't even think about it. But a few more points
in that area wold be helpful. However, I still want the fast, low-light lock

I dram of tilt-shift for the kind of work I do.  It is so popular
amongst my competitors, but holy crapola, look at the price of those things!

I think I'll just have to keep making do with the blur function in PS, isn't

Re: Monitor Calibration System

[Rick Womer]

Yes.  It is okay.  On the second try I got my laptop and external monitor to 
match perfectly (laptop + docking station = desktop work computer), and the 
laptop matches the home desktop nicely.

The primary problem is that one cannot adjust luminance, and iMacs are =bright= 
even when turned down as much as the OS allows.

Some early units had defective sensors, that gave monitors a magenta cast.  So, 
you would buy a used one at some risk.

Cheers,

Rick
