Re: Whale's Tale
Thanks, Christine. Most of these shots are centered, because I was concentrating hard on catching the fast-paced action. I also made an effort to get some of the shore in the images, to set the scene and to show how close to shore the whales are at times. We frequently watched them from the shore, although of course they are further away and harder to photograph. The experience was incredibly exciting and photographically challenging.

Roman, if I am not mistaken I read somewhere (most likely Pentax Forums) that sometimes the sensor stains do not show immediately after you get a camera.

Computer (software) help needed.
Having had a major meltdown before Christmas, I have (mostly) managed to get things back on track. Except I use Netscape 7.2 for the mail application. I already had the installer file but, when I installed it, I could not get the programme to start. Downloaded a new version of the installer and the same problem. It installs with no difficulty but will not react to clicking on the desktop shortcut or going to the .exe file and directly clicking on that. After the meltdown, I went from simple XPSP2 only to the same but with all subsequent upgrade/downloads required by MS. Is it possible (with my tinfoil hat firmly in place) that one of these has disabled NS? If so, does anyone know which one? A month's furious googling reveals nothing enlightening to me. If I am truly stumped, is there a compatible, proper email programme that will import in/out and other boxes from NS?

On the scientific side, they've had to write off the Little Ice Age of 1200-1850 and pretend that it never happened. It also ignores geology and concentrates on climatology. The science is untenable.

Re: Whale's Tale
Nice shots Dan. We used to have a list member whose vocation or avocation involved numerous days every year off the coast of Maine and that region taking whale shots. From Fred's constant search for longer lenses and his occasional comments about rough weather etc. I got the impression that taking photos of whales is no easy and straightforward proposition. For you to get any keepers at all is quite an accomplishment. stan On Feb 6, 2011, at 2:59 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Thanks, Christine. Most of these shots are centered, because I was concentrating hard on catching the fast-paced action. I also made an effort to get some of the shore in the images, to set the scene and to show how close to shore the whales are at times.

Works well here. It might be more effective if you re-cropped to move him off center, giving the pic some space in the direction he's looking.

Re: OT Screen brightness or print problem
Ok, I have installed the Opti-Cal 3.7.5 from Spyder I. I have set it to gamma 1.8, screen wb to 5500 and i think the bottom of the set up screen then said luminance 200 and black point 1. Those are the numbers but not sure of the correct terminology,i do not have the system running now. It then said to set the screen to default brightness and contrast. I don't see a place to set contrast but i set the brightness to full as that's were it was when i got the machine. I set up the unit for Mac and LCD. it ran through its red greens and blues and checked for wb etc. i tried the test print again and its still darker than the screen via LR3. If i set the brightness to 5-6 clicks below the fullest reading, i get fairly close to the print on screen. I looked at the test print on my iBook, which gives me something very very close to the PC, it looks like it should with proper brightness on the pinks and cream colours.

Re: Protesting global warming
The climate changes, it has been for the entire time life has been on earth. We, and all other life, adapt, or die. Your implication is that somehow our actions make a particularly large difference is ludicrous, and always has been. We can create localized micro climate changes. Very little more. CO2 the common boogieman is a trace element. A good volcanic eruption will add more to the atmosphere in one year than has the entire industrial revolution, yet it the long run it barely registers. The best predictor of future climate is the sunspot cycle yet most climate scientests completely ignore it*, because we don't have a good idea of exactly why it works. But you know we don't have a particularly good model of how anything in climate works. None of the common models predict the future, none even reliably predict the past, unless you massage the data so much it would make an Economist blush. *That wasn't always the case, I remember learning about it in physical science classes in Jr. High School.

From: Daniel J. Matyola Wonderful! BTW, there is no such thing as global warming. It is more correctly referred to a climate change, and more that warming the entire planet, it is bringing us more extreme weather of all types.

RE: Computer (software) help needed.
From: mike wilson Having had a major meltdown before Christmas, I have (mostly) managed to get things back on track. Except I use Netscape 7.2 for the mail application.

It installs with no difficulty but will not react to clicking on the desktop shortcut or going to the .exe file and directly clicking on that. After the meltdown, I went from simple XPSP2 only to the same but with all subsequent upgrade/downloads required by MS.

Also setting the brightness at -8 clicks. Comments are most welcome on how this looks. K10D, 50-200 LR3 conversion, very overcast day. Dave it looks very flat to me. No texture in the wood.

Yesterday my perseverance payed off by allowing me to stumble upon the mature version. Pretty heavy crop. Falls in the point-n-shoot category, but satisfying to collect none the less. Started the search about 7:30 AM and found him in a local State managed Wildlife Area about 10:30 AM. All comments most welcome.

Re: Whale's Tale
Actually hitting Maui at the right time of the year is almost a guarantee you'll see whales. On my first visit to Maui I was able to capture images of them from my veranda in Kaanapali, before they started their migration north. We later took a whale watching boat out and captured them breeching.

We used to have a list member whose vocation or avocation involved numerous days every year off the coast of Maine and that region taking whale shots. From Fred's constant search for longer lenses and his occasional comments about rough weather etc. I got the impression that taking photos of whales is no easy and straightforward proposition. For you to get any keepers at all is quite an accomplishment. stan On Feb 6, 2011, at 2:59 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Thanks, Christine. Most of these shots are centered, because I was concentrating hard on catching the fast-paced action. I also made an effort to get some of the shore in the images, to set the scene and to show how close to shore the whales are at times. We frequently watched them from the shore, although of course they are further away and harder to photograph. The experience was incredibly exciting and photographically challenging.

I would love to see whales. I took a peek at the whole set--pretty cool. I know most of the shots have splash in them, but I actually like best the lone tail that's way upright with the island in the background. I know the tail is very centered, but I still like the shot best. Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: Daniel J.

Maybe stood about three steps to the left. But that's a nit. Shot from my truck.
