It depends on the sort of shooting you do, and how many of the features the K7 has the K-01 doesn't. If I only had one camera I'd much rather have a K-5 than K-01. If you do most of your photography in good light, you probably wouldn't get a lot of IQ improvement going to the K-01 sensor. If you do hand held, low shutter speeds, you'll probably lose sharpness do to the shooting position. If I were buying a camera this week in that price range, I'd probably look for a K-r rather than K-01. Also, Pentax seems to have a bit of difficulty with dot zero syndrome, where there's usually a problem or two with the first releases of new technology. In short, even if I were to buy a K-01 I'd wait a bit and let other people be the guinea pigs, and maybe let the price drop a few bucks. -- Steve Desjardins -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: For Ansel Adams birthday: All about Moonrisr Over
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:34:08 -0600 From: Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com I have no idea whether Tom's comment was tongue-in-cheek or not, but it goes to the heart of what I found fascinating about Ansel's comment - the ability to be a super-critical curator of our own photographic work. Ansel Adams produced more negatives than even he could keep up with, in terms of getting prints that both interested him and were up to his high standards. It wasn't tongue-in-cheek. I can see what people like about the image, there are numerous compositional elements to like, but overall I don't find them pleasingly arranged. It's like some of the Beatles music. In my opinion, much of it is superb, but there are occasional songs that don't tickle my ear and that I never choose to listen to. It's that way with all artists and art forms. 1) I dislike that the mooon is so close to center. 2) I feel that the composition is cramped at the edges of the town on the left and right sides. 3) I get the sense that the image is slightly unlevel and slanted to the right. In our digital age, our ability to produce images (in big numbers) probably far exceeds the time that most of us have to get the most out of them via post-processing. So what do we do? Perhaps we show the ones that appeal to us sans-post-processing (or at least a minimal amount). I wonder how many of us will/would do with digital post-processing what Ansel did with this image: continue to work to better it for years after the image was created ? I'd much prefer to go out and take new pictures than continue to manipulate an existing image for years. To me that would be a sign that maybe I was trying to make something out of something that wasn't up to snuff. Interestingly, Adams said this about the day the photo was taken: I made a few passable negatives that day and had several exasperating trials with subjects that would not bend to visualization. The most discouraging effort was a rather handsome cottonwood stump near the Chama River . I saw my desired image quite clearly, but due to unmanageable intrusions and mergers of forms in the subject my efforts finally foundered, and I decided it was time to return to Santa Fe . It is hard to accept defeat, especially when a possible fine image is concerned. But defeat comes occasionally to all photographers, as to all politicians, and there is no use moaning about it. Our individual tastes will decide whether we think that day ended with a glaring success or a bit of a failure. I believe he fell victim to the same failings with 'Moonrise'. Like Ansel's mastery over the darkroom processes and materials, we will no doubt grow in our mastery of the post-processing tools and techniques given time. As we struggle to keep up with the backlog of images we recently created, how many of us will go back and REwork a favorite digital image created years in the past, to get the most out of it? It depends on the image. I've scanned images taken 10/15 years ago and have improved upon them. However, I find far more enjoyment in the pursuit of new images than I do in the reworking of old ones. Some think it's a small world, but it's a pretty big place when you actually try to photograph it. Much of this is a moot point, since so many of us produce work only for screen: Flickr, etc. Translating our work to actual prints is something that fewer people do (myself included). The intent is the same however, regardless of the medium. There is also something to be said for the Opposite of hyper-critical curation: Sharing ones work that is not, even perhaps by our own standards, top notch. (Particularly if one is seeking critique in an effort to grow, rather than just receiving the kudos that we know we so richly deserve.) :) Unfortunately I think far too much of that happens. It too often leads to kudos for images that are not deserving and dupes the photographer into believing they've succeeded where they did not. To me, if one is serious about their photography (define serious), they will grow in skill and judgement all most naturally. That image I was ecstatic about 20 years ago... well I now see it's failings and would not show it had I made that exposure today (or would adjust it). Interesting topic.

The flame/smoke effect is created using some stuff called EL (Electroluminescent) wire. It was dragged along the ground while walking around the car twice.

Re: Question: Sell K7 to buy K-01?
You'll get a better price if you sell it yourself. I've sold a few things to KEH and their buy prices are almost an insult.

All your other night light painting experiments have been getting you ready to do something cool like this! Are you saying all the other stuff I've been doing isn't cool??? Pfft... :-D As with most things photographic, figuring out the technique is easy, trying to apply your new skill in an interesting way is the difficult part.

OT: What to see in southeastern Australia? (Melbourne/Sydney)
I know there are a few Aussies here, so I hope you don't mind if I pick your brains for a moment. I'm going to be in Australia this coming May for work, and I'm taking some time after that's done to do some traveling. The work stuff is in Melbourne, and then I'll have lots of time on my own to do whatever I want until my flight home takes off two weeks later from Sydney. I'm planning on backpacking around, staying in hostels and such to keep the costs down, so I'm trying to put together a list of things to see and places to do some photography that are interesting but not too touristy. (Honestly, part of me wants to buy a cheap used bicycle and just bike everywhere, but that may be unrealistic with all the crap I'll probably have to lug around.) Anyway! If you had two weeks to get from Melbourne to Sydney, no car and no one else you had to worry about, where would you go? Also, what's the weather like there in May? Many thanks, John P.S.: This is my first time doing any sort of solo, low-cost traveling like this, so any general traveling tips would be immensely appreciated. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: OT: What to see in southeastern Australia? (Melbourne/Sydney)
G'day John May is a good time to visit Victoria and New South Wales. The weather is generally excellent for travelling. Temperatures would be in the high teens- low 20s (Celsius) in lowland/coastal areas - a bit cooler if you get into the alpine areas but it wont be freezing. May is also good because I'm fairly sure it's within the school term period for both Vic and NSW, so accommodation shouldn't be a problem. Melbourne to Sydney is about 880 km by the shortest route and about 1100 by the coast. I'm not sure I'd want to tackle that in two weeks by bicycle but that's me... Anyway I've done quite a bit of touring in Vic and NSW (and I'm sure others have too) so I can probably suggest places to visit but first I think you should decide how you want to get around because that will pretty much determine what places are practical - you might be restricted to defined coach/train routes. As far as accommodation goes, there are backpackers hostels in most major towns. Here's a link to check out: http://www.yha.com.au/ Other cheap accommodation is available using on-site vans at caravan parks, which are everywhere.

I used to work in a company where some of the staff got to travel a bit but I don't think they ever allowed you to take a holiday after the work was done because of the travel insurance arrangements. So make sure you're covered. Anyway! If you had two weeks to get from Melbourne to Sydney, no car and no one else you had to worry about, where would you go?
