Problems with PPG

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the voting on the Pentax
Photo Gallery?

Last night, it kept giving me the same five images to review.  This
morning, I checked again, and it was repeating anywhere from one to
five of the photos most of the time.  Has anyone else experienced
similar problems?

On the positive side, my gallery in the PPG is now up to 65 images.  I
hope to equal my age before my next birthday.

Infinity adjust on an A24-50 f/4 lens

[Charles Robinson]

I just pulled an old lens out of the box and popped it onto my K10D with the 
idea that my son could use it to see if he liked the idea of a bigger camera.

Darned thing doesn't focus to infinity, though!  Why did I never notice this 
before?

I've seen a few different pages out there about adjusting infinity focus for 
some older Takumar lenses... is it pretty much the same deal for every lens?  
Remove front ring, loosen screws down in the barrel ugh.   I'd love some 
helpful pointers.

Failing that, anyone with a craptastic 28-80 laying around... maybe I'll just 
buy him one of those and throw the 24-50 back in the drawer.  Heck, then he'd 
have autofocus and could use the SR features as well.

Ideas, anyone?

Hot Pixels - Time for new camera?

[Ed Keeney]

I have a K100D that is now 4 1/2 years old with about 14000 images
taken.  I've noticed more and more hot pixels being recorded on my
shots, requiring more and more post processing detail work.

At what point do you say it is time to suck it up and get a new camera?

I should have started saving a long time ago for this.

Thanks!

G'day all

Only one submission so far for the July theme - 'Strange'.

I can't believe that nothing strange is happening within reach of your
cameras!

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.

14000 exposures is rarely enough to have worn anything out.

hot pixels ... In your JPEGs or raw files? Long exposures or normal
exposures (1/20 second and shorter)?

If in the raw files, try using Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom ... they
have hot pixel removal built in.
If in the normal exposure range JPEGs, send the camera to Pentax and
they'll do a pixel remapping for you. (I don't recall whether Pentax
supports pixel remapping as a user feature).

Hot pixels can be an annoyance, but unless there are more than 5% hot
pixels (and on a 10Mpixel camera that means a million or more
photosites are dead) there's little need to replace the camera on that
basis.

I actually complained before the weekend about the another strange
thing: when you upload a photo it is somehow stripped of the EXIF
info, sometimes only one variable (e.g., "Flash: not fired") appears
while others are not there including camera used.  So leading up to
our virtual ground hog day one would find "null" under camera used
when voting.

What I tried doing though was, to delete what I just uploaded and
upload it again.  Sometimes it works--things are fixed and the EXIF
details are all intact, sometimes not; I delete it and upload it again
the following day before all info are in...

I have two.  Do you want the MkI (metal bayonet) or the II (allegedly better

makes you feel any better, you can call it a permanent loan, like folks do
to museums. 8-)  And you don't get a lenshood.


Another difference - the MkI has on the fly manual focus, the Mk II does 
not.  Not really material unless you have the eyes of a Goshawk, of 
which more anon.

It worked very well.  I like the water shooter gal with the pigtails.

In memory of Mark, I think we should keep this thread going until he
gets back.  To make it a challenge, you can only use potentially
Markable statements.  No, I'm not going to explain but you know what I
mean.

Re: Canon takes a page from the Pentax line up

Someone had to copy it eventually but I have major nits with the way

Canons somehow look like a bar of soap with a lens mount and a prism

Indeed, I was going to suggest the same thing.  If you use Lightroom and shoot 
RAW, you'll never even see those hot pixels.  LR takes them out automatically.

(This is how I am able to take extended night-time exposures and not go crazy 
spending all my time cleaning up the bright spots when I'm done)

Brian & Mark:

I have no doubt you two do brilliantly with any camera in your hands--I 
know; I've seen your work!

But the K-5 is a tool that I think increases creative possibilities.
So go ahead and get one  :-))

Re: Eye Reflection

[Christine Aguila]

I wouldn't under estimate the K20D.   That's a very good camera.  It does do 
some wacky metering at times (less so than the K10D), but it certainly 
renders some very nice images. All pdmlers who've owned that camera have 
posted lovely photos from the K20D. In some ways I think its image quality 
is better than the K-7.  I prefer the way the K20D renders black tones over 
the K-7. Cheers, Christine

Hi Everyone:

The K-5 is too much fun. I provide 3 photos here to show you how I got to
the third photo. Comments are under each photo. Original photo shot at ISO
3200. I love this camera so much, I'm thinking of selling all three
previous pentax dslrs to help fund another K-5 for back-up. Cheers,

The balcony rail provided a steadying rest and along with the Pentax
shake reduction allowed a shutter speed of 1/20s.

Ash from Chilean volcano traveled around the southern hemisphere and
disrupted air traffic  but probably helped this display.

Very spectacular.  We're not seeing anything like that here although the

G'day all

Only one submission so far for the July theme - 'Strange'.

I can't believe that nothing strange is happening within reach of your
cameras!

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

Brian

hi,

had gone on a ten days' trek to the kumaon himalayas, starting june 8.
started from a place called loharkhet (6000 ft) and did about 45 km
over four days to a place called maiktoli base camp (12,500 ft) and
took another four days to do the return leg.

most days it was raining and when it wasn't, it was cloudy so the k-x
was under wraps most of the time. a collection of photos from the trek:
https://picasaweb.google.com/pdml.live/Sundardhunga

most shots were taken with the k-x and the tamron 17-50/2.8 or the
A100/4

hope you enjoy the gallery...

Re: Going off-line for a bit

Everyone should move every 3 or 4 years! A great way to cut down on stuff.

When I was moving back to Michigan after a 4 year assignment in St Louis, I 
found I was moving unopened boxes that I had packed in the original move to 
St Louis, stuff I never used and really didn't need.

Last night, it kept giving me the same five images to review.  This

five of the photos most of the time.  Has anyone else experienced
similar problems?

On the positive side, my gallery in the PPG is now up to 65 images.  I

G'day all

Only one submission so far for the July theme - 'Strange'.

I can't believe that nothing strange is happening within reach of your
cameras!

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

YA Pentax sighting

[John Francis]

My wife is watching Wimbledon, but tape-delayed (TiVo-delayed?).
When she steps away from the TV she makes sure it is tuned to a
channel that is unlikely to show up-to-the-minute match spoilers.
Today she chose to tune to a movie channel (Encore).  My eye was
caught by a Pentax 6x7 featuring prominently in one scene.

The program guide said the movie was "All About the Benjamins".

In a different view, a little later, the rear of the camera
didn't look right, but from the front it was definitely a 6x7

Appropriate title. Medium format photography strikes me as being all 
about the Benjamins.

I hadn't voted for a while but I just tried and it seemed to work OK.

Today's crazy idea: RAID

[Larry Colen]

Redundant Array of Inexpensive DSLRs

On my drive home from San Luis Obispo today, I had the crazy idea that for the 
price of a medium format camera, you could make a bracket that would securely 
hold four (or more) relatively inexpensive DSLRs, with identical(*) decent 
lenses, trigger them simultaneously, and use software to combine the images 
into one extremely high resolution, or high dynamic range, image. This would 
have the advantage of all of the shots being taken at the same time, and for 
landscape photos, the parallax difference would likely be negligible.

I'm curious of any one knows of any work along  these lines... stitching images 
from multiple cameras, taken at the same time, rather than a single camera 
taken over a longer span of time.


* By identical I mean the same make and model, individual variation is 
inevitable.

My K100Dsuper has something on the order of 50,000 frames on it, and as far as 
I can tell is still working fine.  Then again, I shoot RAW and process in 
lightroom.

Even a K-r is a huge improvement in performance over a K100Dsuper, though there 
are certain features, like a jack for an external shutter that the K100 has and 
the K-r lacks.

If, however, you have a katzeye screen it should work in the K-r (it does in 
the K-x).

I've got a 3.5 year old K100DSuper with 38,909 actuations and it's

Redundant Array of Inexpensive DSLRs

On my drive home from San Luis Obispo today, I had the crazy idea that for the 
price of a medium format camera, you could make a bracket that would securely 
hold four (or more) relatively inexpensive DSLRs, with identical(*) decent 
lenses, trigger them simultaneously, and use software to combine the images 
into one extremely high resolution, or high dynamic range, image. This would 
have the advantage of all of the shots being taken at the same time, and for

Somebody has beaten you to it


Hasselblad use sensor shift technology to create multiple images and 
move the sensor slightly to increae the effective pixel count.

The fix is the same as for older Super Takumars...

Spin off the front "faceplate".  Set the lens at infinity.  Loosen the three 
screws which hold the collar to the internal assembly... back the collar off a 
bit and tighten one of the screws down.  Now turn the collar a bit more towards 
infinity and check the view through the viewfinder.  Repeat until you can get 
to (or maybe just a shade past) infinity.  Tighten all 3 screws and replace the 
front ring around the outside face of the lens.

Took about 10 minutes, and I've never done this before.  Coolness.

That's not simultaneous, which I think is the key element of Larry's suggestion.

On Mike Johnston's blog, Ctein has proposed using arrays of crappy
(think cellphone) cameras embedded in an iPad-like tablet:

True,

but the Hasselblad effort does show the software required to stitch the 
multiple images together does work, so the idea is feasible

On a somewhat smaller scale, take a look at the plenoptic cameras
Pat Hanrahan et al. at Stanford are playing with:

Well I don't know if I'll ever need this but filed for future reference.

It's only one camera but what about a gigapan system -
