Nice work all around.

It looks like I'm up to 14 pictures accepted, and somewhat at a loss as to what 
else to submit.

I wish that they'd at least keep thumbnails of rejects posted to make it easier 
to keep track.

RE: They should have done this one first

2011-06-30 Thread John Coyle
The phrase cold, dead hands comes to mind with the MZ-S!  I've gone back to 
shooting
family stuff with it, as my wife likes to get prints rather than look at photos 
on screen
- and I tend to be slack at printing digital off, never mind the inevitable
post-processing.
It is one of the best cameras Pentax produced, in my admittedly limited 
experience of
handling those from the 80's. Mine's had a CLA here in Oz, and is as good as 
new, and I
have no idea how many frames I've shot with it.
I also take an SV for a walk now and then, just for old time's sake - and it 
still works
perfectly too...

Re: PPG

2011-06-30 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
They allowed me to vote last night, and I voted successfully for about
15 minutes, to check that it was really working, and to try to help
them catch up a bit.  I wonder what happened to the votes that were
made when the images kept repeating?

I had submitted a small group of images a few weeks ago.  One was
accepted just before the problems arose.  Now, as soon as voting
started again, the rest were immediately declined.  I wonder if the
problem had any effect on this.  Two were, in my opinion, clearly
better than the one they accepted.  I guess I will have to re-submit
them to reassure myself that the problems in voting did not influence
the process.

In any even, yesterday I had no Photos awaiting submission.  Today,
there is one entry there, which appears to be blank, even though I did
not upload anything yesterday -- or indeed in the last two weeks.
Another glitch of some sort.

I am concerned not so much about the site itself, but about the
impression it gives people about Pentax.  It makes it seem like the
company either doesn't care about its loyal customers who post to the
gallery, or that the company isn't technologically savvy enough to run
an on-line gallery.  I don't believe either is the case, but I worry
about the guy with an old *ist D who is thinking of upgrading and the
questions that may be raised in his mind about whether Pentax is on
the cutting edge of photo equipment or not.

 They allowed me to vote last night,
 and I voted successfully for about
 15 minutes, to check that it was really working, and to try
 to help
 them catch up a bit.  I wonder what happened to the
 votes that were
 made when the images kept repeating?
 
 I had submitted a small group of images a few weeks
 ago.  One was
 accepted just before the problems arose.  Now, as soon
 as voting
 started again, the rest were immediately declined.  I
 wonder if the
 problem had any effect on this.  Two were, in my
 opinion, clearly
 better than the one they accepted.  I guess I will
 have to re-submit
 them to reassure myself that the problems in voting did not
 influence
 the process.
 
 In any even, yesterday I had no Photos awaiting
 submission.  Today,
 there is one entry there, which appears to be blank, even
 though I did
 not upload anything yesterday -- or indeed in the last two
 weeks.
 Another glitch of some sort.
 
 I am concerned not so much about the site itself, but about
 the
 impression it gives people about Pentax.  It makes it
 seem like the
 company either doesn't care about its loyal customers who
 post to the
 gallery, or that the company isn't technologically savvy
 enough to run
 an on-line gallery.  I don't believe either is the
 case, but I worry
 about the guy with an old *ist D who is thinking of
 upgrading and the
 questions that may be raised in his mind about whether
 Pentax is on
 the cutting edge of photo equipment or not.

July PUG - It's a bit Strange

2011-06-30 Thread Brian Walters
G'day all

There's still room for a bit more 'strangeness' in the July PUG.  So far
11 contributors.

The cut off date for submissions is nominally 30 June but the submission
form should be up for a bit longer yet.

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

echo of the walking man in silhouette on the float really makes this 
special, but you knew that.

 The one I'm looking at is very similar.  Black on black, black
 interior, dual spoke wheels, JCW package.
 
 I almost bought one (soft-top) to go alongside my wife's Mini Cooper;
 it was a close decision between a fully-tricked-out JCW Mini and the Z4.
 
 I faced the same dilemma (Z3/4 versus Mini).  For me, the decider
 was that the Mini has a back seat, which means I can put taller
 cargo in it.

That wasn't a factor for me - we've still got the Mini
(which we refer to as the high-capacity load-hauler).

If my wife ever manages to find gainful employment
again we're planning on upgrading to a Countryman.

Thanks.  I was hoping that the popup flash would provide a bit of fill, but I 
guess that it didn't have the oomph.   I wish that I had a ring flash to use to 
play with fill on shots like these. Just enough to illuminate the subject but 
not enough to illuminate the background. Though that would require being fairly 
close to get several stops difference using inverse square.

Re: OT - Olympus does it right

2011-06-30 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
The new Pens look very good, but it's the lens announcements that
pique my interest. Fast 12 and 45 mm, add the new Summilux 25mm from
Panasonic, and they now have my preferred lens kit in hand. All they
need beyond that, in addition to the existing FT/mFT macro lenses, is
a fast 85mm ... for me, anyway.

I fully expect the next pro-grade body from Olympus following the E-5
to be 100% compatible with Micro-FourThirds lenses as well as
FourThirds SLR lenses. That will most likely have built-in an even
better EVF than the current Olympus VF-2 option. That's what I'm
waiting for before doing any expansion of my Olympus system gear.

Okay now on to my question. I have been looking through my photos and
on one of the fawns I captured today is a tick right between his/her
eyes and a few flies. My question is should I leave them or clone them

Well - it's not as if you're removing a pimple from the nose of a well known
movie star or politician.  The fawn isn't a recognizable individual, so I
don't believe that this is a case of distorting reality.

I wouldn't hesitate in getting rid of them, unless I was illustrating an

would still be available if needed.

I am leaving Pentax because it limits me...

2011-06-30 Thread Timber
Before you flame on me, no I am not. I will stay with my loved white Kr,
and maybe a K5 update later...

But how many times I heard this from friends... countless.

Most of the time the reason is: Pentax is not good for studio
photography.

I was not aware of Benjikan (or Benjamin Kanarek) until recently a
friend of mine directed me to his page. (FYI:
http://www.benjaminkanarek.com/ )

So I now always ask my friends when they say Pentax is not good enough
for studio: You think his photographs are not good enough? You already
reached his level and you feel it's not enough for you?

Obviously... the answer is no :D

But to be honest I had some hesitations sometimes as well... I love
Sony's new system, for not having a blacked VF during the photos and
most importantly, videos. But is it really that important? Well... no. 

But which other company offers you the possibility to try the
astrophotography for a low price of £200ish? Or has a grip so
comfortable that you don't really want to use a battery grip to make the
use of the camera comfortable?

But on the other end there are limits for sure. Not having most of the
3rd party companies support for P-TTL (YangNuo, Phottix...) is one of
the main concerns, but apart from that... I am still in love with
Pentax :)

So, yes... Sony A55 and Nikon D5100 are really tempting for me giving a
bit more options, but I believe my little Pentax Kr is a very good
partner for my photography needs.

Why did I write this? Well... I just had to tell you this and we read so
many rants then why not a praise? :)

Regards,
.t

Re: Photo.net no more

2011-06-30 Thread John Sessoms

From: Stan Halpin


What some of us object to is the big pop-up that appears about 1
second into the page-load process. The pop-up covers about 80-90% of
the window and (for me at least) is blank. Presumably, if I wait long
enough, some advertising pitch will appear in that pop-up. I have
never waited long enough to find out, I just close the photo.net
window and go on to something else.



Ok, I have never seen that.

I don't even get the little bar across the top that I occasionally get 
from other sites that says Firefox has prevented this site from opening 
a pop-up window.


I wonder if maybe I got a pop-up form Photo.net one time years ago  
just told Firefox I didn't want to allow Photo.net to open pop-up windows.


Does anyone know if Firefox will do that; just allow you to designate a 
site to never open a pop-up and don't ask me again?

Of course, I also already have a Pentax M42 to Leica M bayonet

Our little friend Zephyr died Saturday ant age 17+
http://www.robertstech.com/temp/

I've always been more of a dog person myself, but since meeting Lisa
and her cats I've come to the conclusion that it's the owner and how
they raise the pet that makes the difference. Zephyr was the
friendliest, most affectionate cats I've ever known. He used to follow
me around like a puppy at times. He'd had chronic pancreatitis for
years and then eventually became diabetic, requiring twice-daily
insulin injections. He also has asthma, with occasional noisy
mid-night coughing attacks. He had a good, long life and was
definitely high maintenance but we still miss the little guy.


I'm sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a little buddy 
like that.

 So what is it with PDML members and boats?

a sailboat is one of the few things that can make photography
look like a cheap hobby.

I've always liked this definition of a yacht:

  A hole in the water you throw money into.


Sailing is like standing in a cold shower, fully clothed, throwing up, 
and tearing up $100 bills.

Re: Photo.net no more

2011-06-30 Thread John Sessoms
You need a space in there between 127.0.0.1 and ads.doubleclick.net. 
The line should read:


127.0.0.1 ads.doubleclick.net

Comments in the hosts file begin with '#'

There's a good site for pre-written hosts files:

http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

Also contains a lot of troubleshooting information. Apparently Windows 
Vista and Windows 7 don't want to let you make changes to the hosts file.



From: Ecke PDML


In Windows, open C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and
add a line that says 127.0.0.1ads.doubleclick.net then restart your
computer and links to that server will go straight to nirvana =)

 Bruce,
 Oh you gotta give us more details on that!

 I'm no fan of photo.net, but I've never seen these popups and I see very few
 of the banner ads, so I've been a bit puzzled about all the fuss.

 So while looking at Dave Brooks' latest shots I investigated to see what was
 happening -- of course! ?Years ago I configured my DSL router (pfSense) to
 return host not found replies to all domain-name lookups for
 doubleclick.net, which happens to cover the majority of ads at photo.net.
 ?So no popups, and empty whitespace where the banner ads usually go for all
 the computers in the house. ?DNS proxies are a wonderful thing. ;-)

I think I'll just continue to cuss at the ad.  Carry on, gentlefolk.


Or you could go to http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm and download 
the batch file that will automatically install a new hosts file that has 
a current list of most abuse sites.


If you have an existing hosts file the batch file renames it  saves it 
as a backup before installing the new file.


I've been using the mvps.org hosts file for almost 10 years now, and 
it's saved a lot of aggravation. I try to remember to update it about 
every six months or so.

RE: PESO -- Rum Runner

The title is false advertising, yes it is the name of the boat.  But the
boat isn't really what the photo is all about.

Equipment:  Pentax K20D w/smc Pentax FA 43mm f1.9 Limited

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Or use Adblock Plus for Firefox or Chrome, which can automatically

a hosts file (e.g., blocking the /ads/ subdirectory of a website,
without blocking everything else).

 years back). This time my travel kit will consist of the K5, 16-50/2.8
 and the 77 Limited.

 I'll have occasional net access so I may have a few adventures to
 report...

Sounds like a good trip, have a great time.

I'd differ on lenses, I think my 2006 trip to the IoM and other points
was *ist DS plus 21/3.2, 35/2 and 77/1.8, but then I don't get along
with zooms very much. I didn't have the 43 yet at that point as that
would surely have been in the kit if I did.

I look forward to hearing and seeing the stories. :-)
