GESO - Falling Joys

[Derby Chang]

Hi everyone,

Falling Joys were one of the standouts in that short renaissance of 
Aussie indie girl and guitar driven bands back in the early 90's. They 
haven't played for 15 years, so this show was a cannot-miss. Very 
muscular sound


It's true. Use it or lose it. Haven't touched the old Limited lenses for 
a while, and haven't shot a music gig for even longer. My skillz of 
manual focusing, following the musicians, have been much depleted. Here 
are a few that lucked out.

Thanks Frank and everyone else. I hadn't spotted the resemblance of
the bass player to Cotty (well noted Frank and Bob W), Poor chap!

Yes, Bob S, it was great fun and played to a full house.

Boris - I'm flattered, but I'm no Beatle - just this late middle aged
guy who does a bit of music occasionally...

I made up for the tail wind by returning over the hills.  I was pushing myself 
a bit because I'd planned on the ride being about 50km and it turned out to be 
nearly 70.  Should have carried more food.

I like the concept and the rendering,, but the perspective doesn't work for me. 
I feel a need for both horizontals, top and bottom to be aligned with the 
horizontal axis. If it were mine, I would apply a PhotoShop  transformation to 
correct that. 
While I like the vignetting in the leaf photos, I find it a distraction here.

I've gotta say that I'm flabbergasted by some of the replies to this

thing in the first place.  I defy /anyone/, Bruce Lee included, to use 
their man portable weaponry to hold off a flash mob of maybe several 
hundred people.  One well armed and psychologically prepared defender 
against a couple of handful of thugs, you've got a chance.  A few 
hundred of them, "you're fing vegemite, mate" in the words of one of 
my Aussie friends.


If that sort thing is in the offing, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!  What the Hell

nearly as bad as portrayed by some of those articles, I'm bloody well 
staying at home, or moving to a different city.  I'm probably trying to 
contract having Jersey Barriers installed at the ground-floor entry 
points.  Even if it's not 24/7, my luck is that I'd show up just in time 
to be a victim if I lived near that s***.


It doesn't take a huge amount of "tactical acuity" to realize that 
you're f***ing hosed in a one-versus-a-hundred fight, the TV shows and 
movies notwithstanding.  You're only chance is that you've lucked into a 
"kill or maim one and the rest chicken out" scenario, or you can get 
them fighting each other while you "take a powder" somewhere else.


I don't wander into certain parts of Atlanta for /exactly/ the same

I still don't know what you're referring to.

There are no square format digital cameras aside from a few toys. Both
the E-5 and the GXR allow me to set a square format if I want. I tend
to capture in the full-frame format, whatever it might be, and crop to
proportions that suit the photograph idea I'm working on. Neither of
these photos are any standard format. The originals are cropped to
3278x2848 pixels, about 9.3 Mpixel, and print nicely to ~12x14 inches
without pixel interpolation @ 240ppi.  ???

What do you mean "the current choice is a mistake"? I don't know what

Nice light. I find the concept interesting. It's almost as though the reeds 
mimic the shpe of the egret.

I like them both a lot but the aspect ratio is so close to square that
it seems like the current choice is a mistake?

Once you're logged in, the system already knows who you are.


Agreed. But do take a look at what facebook says to advertise their
data mapping and mining abilities to online marketers. They infer all
sorts of information about you just from who your friends are and from
the batch import of your various mail address books and your
communication habits etc. etc. and we may well agree that there is no
harm done as long as all it means is that you get adverts for stuff
they think you may want. However, once that data reaches a critical
mass, others may become interested in it - NB I am not saying THEM or
the Bilderbergers or the SYSTEM. Just anyone really. I just don't want
my data in the wrong hands. Any black hat will do just fine. I don't
think you can call that paranoia. I just feel that facebook is giving
very little and (call it taking or asking) very little in return. Free
Farmville doesn't add much to my life...

there was something about the way you said "please."

There is something about the combination of the angles, silhouette,
and boke that makes for a pleasing shot.  while the green provides the
sense of place i think it would be nice in red.

Next up is "Strange" (which would have also fitted Henk's entry for June
nicely!) so that shouldn't be much of a stretch for most people here...

Cut off date for submissions is 30 June.

Submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/

Submission Guidelines here:

http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html


The main requirements are:

* Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels
* Max file size: 300k
* Third party equipment is acceptable provided either the camera body or
lens used is Pentax.

Also - as not all browsers are colour space aware, if you embed a colour
space in the image, it should be sRGB to ensure the image looks right on
line.  I usually check the colour space of submitted images but I've
been known to forget.





Cheers

I was bullied all the way up through 9th grade until I (not willingly,
I was only trying to get him to back off) I pushed one bully into a
glass showcase and he found himself sitting in a nasty pile of shards.
After that they left me alone and one even tried to make friends...

A bully tried to take me on when I was a freshman in High School. I
figured I was going to get beaten to a pulp as I was no fighter, but I
wouldn't let him just victimize me. So we went out to the train
station to duke it out. I took off my jacket and glasses. He came at
me like a windmill and struck my head with his wrist. He didn't count
on my thick skull and broke his wrist on it.

I remember pulling on my jacket, suggesting he have it looked at over
in the campus infirmary, and didn't miss my train home. Didn't even
have a bruise. He was in a cast from elbow to hand for six weeks.

No one ever tried to bully me in High School again. I was now one of
the badasses. ]'-)

RE: Sigma 150mm macro lens

[John Sessoms]

From: Mark Cassino


Hi Everyone -

It finally happened - my trusty old SMC A* 200mm macro developed a problem this
past weekend, and there is clearly an issue in the linkage between the arm that
controls the aperture and the aperture mechanism itself. I sent it off to Pentax

in hopes that they can get it fixed up, and hopefully they can. But I may as
well do some contingency planning as I await to hear form them...

The only viable option I see out there now is the Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro. Has
anyone tried this lens? They state that it has a minimum focusing distance of 15

inches which is 1:1 magnification. So, minus?the length of the lens (5 inches)
it looks like there would be about 10 inches of working room. That's not bad -
the 200mm macro hit about 12 inches of working room at 1:1. The D-FA 100 only
has about 6 inches.

Any thoughts about other options??The Sigma 180mm macro is long gone and the A*
and FA* 200 macros are impossible to find. I just started playing around with my
A*

300 f4 and a Canon 500D multi element close up lens - the first test were
surprisingly sharp, but the range you can focus in is very small and the maximum

magnification is only about .65 life-size. I plan on trying the D-FA 100 with?
a ?teleconverter this weekend, but am not optimistic.


Any thoughts on the Sigma 150 or other options that might be out there?

Thanks -

MCC

www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/


I don't have any suggestions as far as alternatives go, but were I in 
your situation I think I would contact KEH and have them put the A* & 
FA* 200 macro on a "wish list" for me, so that if they got one in they'd 
let me know about it first thing.


Might not help, but it couldn't hurt.

Re: safety and photography?

[John Sessoms]

The thing I got from the article was another person who lives in 
Chicago's view of what's going on and that it is not just Chicago where 
there's a problem.


From: Paul Stenquist


It's a simplistic explanation. Chicago's gang problems are more a
result of under-enforcement and looking the other way than of "class
warfare." The problem existed long before the rash of foreclosures.
When I taught in Chicago high schools 30 years ago, it was already
fermenting. But no one wanted to get tough with the gangs, they were
coddled. "Disenfranchised youth" was a term kicked around way back
then. No one drew a line in the sand and said, you can't behave that
way. Now they're paying. We're all paying.

Chicago has been experiencing what is being called *flash

beaches that I've chosen for the beach project.  You can
read about it in the Chicago Sun Times article here  if
you want  http://tiny.cc/mnkxybut in a nutshell,
large groups of teenagers attack victims and steal iPods
and cell phones.  This is fairly new to Chicago, so the
mayor and police have been vocal in reassuring Chicagoans
that it's being dealt with.

I'd be interested in knowing what safety strategies you
employ when working in urban environments.

Ran across this article with another Chicago perspective on
what's going on. According to the author there's a lot more
than made the news.

Additionally, read down far enough into the article, and
you'll find it's not just a Chicago problem.

Thanks, Frank! Generous words! I totally agree with you about the intervening 
plants being a bit of a distraction. There was no way to shoot around them and 
as I approached, I saw this opening coming up and took it for the shot. Only 
reason I decided to submit it was the soft color picked up by the OOF open seed 
pods.

Good luck... I've been thinking about getting one, myself.  Even had
it in a virtual shopping cart last week.  Should have pulled the
trigger then, since the price went up $100+...

Jack,
That is lovely light and a lovely scene.
I think the out-of-focus plants in the foreground are a minus and a plus.
They are a distraction, but they add a dreamy and soft quality to the picture.

Hmmm.  Seems an odd location for a church.  Is that an old movie theatre?

I don't know what the law is in New York City, but certainly here in
Toronto, we aren't ~required~ to use them.  I've had motorists yell at
me for not riding in one;  my attempts to explain to them the
difference between a "right" and an "obligation" usually fall on deaf

The light is beautiful!  I like the composition, like the way the bird
appears to be mid-stride.  The only nit is that the oof plants in the
foreground are a bit of a distraction, but I'm guessing there's not
much you could have done to get those out of the way.  In any event,
they certainly don't detract significantly from a beautiful photo!

Re: 18/06 - World Pentax Day

[Darren Addy]

I've selected my main target (subjects) for World Pentax Day:
http://www.kearneyhub.com/news/local/article_cd6c2dd4-9128-11e0-a516-001cc4c03286.html

Also, my Olympus iS/L macro A-Life Size will arrive in about an hour,
so I will get to play with that this weekend, as well.
Should be a fun photo weekend!

Of course Facebook provides an extensive database for advertisers. That's their 
stock in trade. But so do literally millions of other websites -- websites that 
aren't subject to the constant monitoring and scrutiny that attends Facebook, 
due to its prominence and reach. Heck, everything we've said here will soon be 
in the Pentax archives and available to the entire internet world. Every site 
you visit, every item you buy, every search you conduct contributes to your 
electronic profile. Worrying about Facebook is pointless, IMO. The only way to 
maintain privacy is to unplug all the electronic devices in your home and 
become a veritable hermit. 

By the way, I've opted out of Farmville updates:-).

Re: OT - Flipper and the Feline

[Steven Desjardins]

That was interesting.  From my experience with cats, it seemed more
affectionate than hungry.  The dolphins were curious, but they are
very intelligent so that's not surprising.  I suspect they don't get
too much chance to see cats.

Re: 18/06 - World Pentax Day

I'd love to have some deep philosophical attitude toward Facebook, but
mostly I just can't be bothered looking that often.  I have a minimum
sort of a page because I go there sometimes, but it just doesn't float
my boat in general.

Re: peso - me

[Steven Desjardins]

I agree with Dan.  The same bokeh works fine in the photo of the woman
eating because their is a an element of clarity (the face) to center
the shot.  JMHO, of course.

I really don't care for it, Sasha.  It seems to be more a portrait of
the bokeh than a silhouette portrait of you.

The portrait of the young lady eating is a very fine image, however,
and more to my taste.

Actually, it appears that the dolphins are playing with the cat,
rather than the other way around.  The cat looks like it is interested
in lunch.

Re: 18/06 - World Pentax Day

[Daniel J. Matyola]

In the US it is possible to enter you phone numbers into a "no call"
database.  That eliminates most of the calls, although charities and
political organizations to whom you have contributed and merchants
with whom you have transacted business can still call you.

https://www.donotcall.gov/

I guess all those marketers prohibited from calling me have decided to
call you instead.

If the new Sigma 150 macro is comparable to the old 180 I wouldn't

Probably the second sharpest lens I own (behind the 77 Ltd). You'll 
probably never see a used example because those who own one are unlikely 
to sell. Ever. Check the online reviews of the 150. I seem to recall it
