Telecom NZ ran a campaign for people around the country to donate their old 
basic phones to be supplied to those who had no electricity for an extended 
time after the earthquake.

Our current landline requires mains power for its extended functions but will 
still work as a basic phone when the power goes out.  That's one of the reasons 
we bought it over other models, and it's come in handy a couple of times.

It doesn't interest me much; the small sensor would be too limiting.
(which is why we have an Olympus E-PL1 rather than a Canon Powershot).

But the suggestion that a mirrorless APS-C system that can take K-mount
lenses might show up in the summer - now that *does* interest me.

There are still questions to be answered; how much K-mount compatibility
will there be?  While I certainly don't expect an aperture simulator,
I'd hope to get auto-focus with SDM lenses (although I don't expect
screwdriver focussing motors), and there'd pretty much have to be in-
camera aperture control (since SDM lenses don't have aperture rings).

Any version of the Tamron 90mm (2.5/2.8, 49/52, mf/af) will likely be 
one of the better options available to you.  Early ones go for as little 
as GBP30.  Sometimes the seller does not realise that there is an

Re: OT: TAKUMAR-A Camera Lens (7632035)

2011-04-02 Thread Darren Addy
Yes, the best VALUE, out there is the Tamron SP 90mm f2.5 Macro,
though it will only do 1:2 without an extention tube or teleconverter.
As Mike mentioned, Tamron made a very good macro 2x for it. The other
nice thing about that lens is that you can buy it in ANY camera mount
and then get the adaptall for K mount. The cheapest route will be to
get the K/M adaptall mount and use it with the green button. The more
expensive K/A adaptall mount can be added later for more convenient
use.

I also really like the S-M-C Takumar 50mm Macro f/4. Such a good lens.
(You'll need the m42 adapter for it). Also only reaches 1:2 without
adapter.

 still work as a basic phone when the power goes out.  That's one of the 
 reasons we bought it over other models, and it's come in handy a couple of 
 times.

 Dave

We have a cordless system at home, but i kept one of the phones we had
from Bell, so we could use it when the power goes out, which happens a
lot around here.

I think your shot from the road comes close. Not knowing what your shooting 
locations allow, but IF you could shoot it on the diagonal, but more to your 
right (over the chain link fence) and with the camera slightly higher to reduce 
the falling backwards effect, it would be interesting to see.
All are reasonable attempts, Dave.

Re: Regarding the house and mail box shots

2011-04-02 Thread Ann Sanfedele
I still have a land line... and two phones that don't require 
electricity hooked up to it.  One is a beautiful dark red rotary dial 
with a good old fashioned ring to it.  The other is a slimline type with 
extra large buttons and touch tone.  I'd never give them up - at least, 
as long as landline service is available.  It worked on 9/11 and on 
several blackouts over the years.  Aside from this functionality, it 
serves as a
cellphone locater, a safe connection for calling a bank to check balance 
using an 800 number,  or for any toll free calls because there
are no charges for minutes , of course, and if I need to talk a really 
long time to a friend it won't use up charge and if they call me there
is no layout of funds.I took the answering machine off it... but I 
can hear it ring all over the apartment so if I'm here I can get to it.


a couple of weeks ago the phone went dead... but thankfully it turned 
out to be all Verizon's fault and not anything local so not only did 
they not charge me to fix it but I'm getting a small credit for loss of 
service for almost a week.  

And a recent article on cell phone dangers pointed out that the concerns 
extend to any cordless phones - but you can talk on
a landline that isn't cordless for hours with no physical danger other 
than tgelephone elbow.

Correct as long as it's not a cordless or something fancy that requires more

Telecom NZ ran a campaign for people around the country to donate their old 
basic phones to be supplied to those who had no electricity for an extended 
time after the earthquake.

Our current landline requires mains power for its extended functions but will 
still work as a basic phone when the power goes out.  That's one of the reasons

She has a little mother-in-law cottage in her back yard and I wanted to try 
some photos of her in front of the red door.  The sun was in full force so I 
used the AF540 on the camera for fill.  I probably should have put the

as fill would soften the light enough

PESO: Busted! (Yet another cormorant shot)

 Hi all,

Just wanted to post this other cormorant shot I grabbed while out with 
Larry on Tuesday, the 29th.  This guy had me dead to rights.  The focus 
isn't tack-sharp, and the lighting is less than optimum.  But, given 
that I was zoomed all the way out to 500mm, shooting hand-held, I can't 
complain too much.

Re: Peso's More 10th line barn and Vanzant house.

2011-04-02 Thread Ken Waller

Dave - YMMV -

'From road showing old snow fence' is the best of the three showing the 
Barn.


'From the Driveway' - barn with left crop is distracting due to the mud in 
the foreground - the light isn't very good either.


'Barn from street' would be better with better light - pretty flat as shown.

'Vanzant. does nothing for me - too cluttered unless thats what you're 
trying to convey.

scavenger hunt

2011-04-02 Thread Larry Colen
I saw my friend Marco last night at Friday night blues.  Godfrey talked him 
into micro four thirds, but he says that when he sees what the K-5 can do, he 
wants one.  He mentioned that he was in Santa Cruz last Sunday on a 
photographer scavenger hunt.  They were given a list of subjects:  something 
blue, a tree, something with ocean in the name, etc. and had to get a photo of 
each.

Not only did that sound like a lot of fun, but it's something that could be 
done on the PDML.  The only rule is that you have to take the photos yourself.  
You can explain what they have to do with the scavenger hunt, or let people 
figure it out on their own.  Before it is no longer Monday April 5th anyplace 
on the planet, post a GESO with your entries.  If people have fun, then someone 
else can set up their own scavenger hunt.

 I'd hope to get auto-focus with SDM lenses (although I don't expect

Yay! Another compatibility vs non-compatibility of a Pentax MILC

I vote for ZERO compatibility.

If it has the ability for SDM focus, and a significantly smaller registration 
distance than the current Pentax mount, then it should be possible to make a 
lens adapter that has a screw drive, even if the adapter has to have it's own 
batteries.  I doubt Pentax would do this, but it's possible that there's a 
market for a third party accessory.

 If it has the ability for SDM focus, and a significantly smaller registration 
 distance than the current Pentax mount, then it should be possible to make a 
 lens adapter that has a screw drive, even if the adapter has to have it's own 
 batteries.  I doubt Pentax would do this, but it's possible that there's a 
 market for a third party accessory.

If it has space for anything, I'd rather it have a small motor for
auto aperture, like the Sony alpha-to-E mount adapter. Focusing
manually is a lot easier than stopping down manually when you're
looking through the lens (as opposed to range finders, where stopping
down has no effect on focus).

When I sell prints, I usually sign on the rebate at the lower edge.
From left to right:

location and year of the photo - edition numbering - title - signature
- month and year of printing

It's all part of the provenance of a photograph and should be recorded
somewhere. I sign on the rebate so that someone who doesn't want to
see it can always over-mat it, but it stays with the print. I also
usually provide an archival label on the back of the print with this

Re: Signing and dating a print

2011-04-02 Thread Ann Sanfedele
I usually signed with the year of the photo (and where shot was 
taken, sometimes. ) 

When I embed my watermark in an image I use the year taken and year 
printed/or when the digital was made - if I
have that info at hand.  

The date can be important sometimes  - at the least, interesting.  And 
essential for stock work, but thats nothing to do

with signatures per se

Re: scavenger hunt

Hehe --  I've got an extensive batch of files - even already on the 
computer... it would be hard to find a topic I haven't taken at least one
shot of -  I even have stuff  on subjects I don't like to look at  :-) 
(babies, fashion, glamour,  homeless sad people, fat people, airplanes, 
rock concerts, etc. )

  Hi all,

Just wanted to post this other cormorant shot I grabbed while out with Larry
on Tuesday, the 29th.  This guy had me dead to rights.  The focus isn't
tack-sharp, and the lighting is less than optimum.  But, given that I was
zoomed all the way out to 500mm, shooting hand-held, I can't complain too
much.

PES0 (s) Outdoor still life with concrete turtle.

2011-04-02 Thread P. J. Alling
For some reason this scene just amused me, but just because I was amused 
doesn't make it good.  So for your viewing pleasure, and I use that 
phrase loosely, I prepared the image three different ways,


1.  More or less straight, a bit of processing to open up the dynamic 
range and increase contrast, with just a bit of sharpening.


http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20outdoorstilllifewithconcreteturtle.html

2. Starting from there I did a BW rendering with BW Plus using the 
Green filter.  (since the turtle was green I think maybe I should have 
gone with yellow...)


http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20outdoorstilllifewithconcreteturtlebw.html

3 finally I decided to see what the free K25 action thought it would 
look like if I'd shot it with Kodachrome 25.


http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20outdoorstilllifewithconcreteturtlek25.html

Hum, it seems to think that I would have blown the highlights, and even 
the greens are a bit garish.  Does this look like a Kodachrome rendering 
to you?  Well I guess you get what you pay for.

Today in the life

2011-04-02 Thread Cory Waters

Today I upgraded my desktop PC and my Macbook to Lightroom 3
I shot several photos at Thing2s soccer game
I imported those images into my lightroom catalog.
I went to work where I recorded a voice-over message for an event at 
work that expresses that cameras with lenses longer than 6 are 
Professional and thereby prohibited from the stadium.


I felt a little icky about that last one.

I like this one best -- but, I am sort of partial to BW in general.  At 
least when done by others.

A gift of film...

2011-04-02 Thread P. J. Alling
So a friend gifted me with half a dozen rolls of long expired Konica VX 
100 35mm film, and I've decided to shoot some of it.  I decided to drag 
out an LX, which I haven't actually handled a lot in about three years.  
Now I have shot film in the last in the last couple of years, but it's 
been respooled 120 run through a Kodak Medalist II which is a beast.  My 
impressions going back to the LX is that it's /really/petite. The K20D 
is a monster next to it.  I stuck the box end from a roll of film into 
the reminder pocket on the back of the film door and every time I put my 
eye to the finder I keep thinking the review screen is turned on.  The 
shutter is really loud, not as loud as some cameras I've shot, but it 
really reminds me how quite the K20 is by comparison.  My final thought, 
I wonder when I'll be able to afford a DSLR that feels this good in my 
hands.
