Re: Hanging by a thread
You have a point. It does look as if we have moved mountains to get us primed for success, despite the likes of the Daily Mail proclaiming doom at every opportunity.

Notwithstanding what your LOCOG friends say though, the thing that has impressed me (and not necessarily in a good way) has been the sheer unstoppable inexorability of the whole operation. The programme panders to our self-image as hopeless bumblers who somehow muddle through in the end, but the facts suggest that we are rather more Germanic than that cosy image would have us believe and it has all unrolled like some colossal mega-juggernaut, crushing all Hugh Grantishness beneath its mighty wheels as it 'delivers' a successful Olympics.

No doubt it will form an important part of the legacy plans which are already in place. For instance, the 3-day Eventing and Equestrian Cross Country taking place in Greenwich will surely be the nucleus for growth in horse-riding among all the inner-city kids whose council houses have stable yards attached; similarly (and perhaps more probably), the shooting events taking place at Woolwich Barracks will inspire future generations to move on from knives, chains and molotov cocktails, to more accurate weapons better suited to ride-by shootings. The cable-car will form an important stop on the tourism itinerary for people who want a good overview of the Olympic Tumbleweed Farm.

RE: Being a Tourist in Italy
Hi Doug - I spent a month in Italy last year, starting in Milan and then went to Verona, Venice, Ravenna (Hi Dario!), Bologna, Lucca, Florence and Rome. We travelled by car between Venice and Rome, and the only aspect I would advise you about is ensure you have a GPS navigator in the car you hire. Signage in the cities is clear, but generally very close to the turn you need to make, so it's easy to miss. Bipin has covered just about everything else. We had a diesel Audi A4 wagon, as there were four of us, and it was very economical. Fuel is not cheap, but if you stay on the major roads the economy can be good. I found driving in Italy not terribly stressful (I have driven a couple of times in France as well, so the LHD scenario was not new), apart from ensuring you are aware of everything and everyone around you - shouldn't be a problem for a NutDriver! Italy is a great country, we found the people friendly and helpful. The scenery in the northern part (Venice to Lucca) is spectacular, helped by we had exceptionally good weather most of the trip. Photography-wise, agree with Bipin a very wide angle lens is essential; for over 80% of my photographs I used my 16-45. Cranking up the ISO will enable you to capture good interiors, as flash cannot be used in many places - but you can in the Vatican, surprisingly enough. Tip - hang around the Vatican tourist office (left-hand side of the square as you look at St. Peter's) at 2:30 every day for an English-language guided tour, conducted by one of the priests posted there - our guide was a Canadian. Great value for money - it's free! In Venice, go for the Doge's Palace secret tour,: you have to book online, but again it's cheap and you get to go to parts of the palace not open to tourists on their own.

Re: Being a Tourist in Italy
We have been to Italy four times, for a week each. Don't try to hit too many cities; the joy of Italy is relaxing in a piazza sipping espresso or limoncello and just enjoying life. Rome is by far the most interesting, with many great museums, the Colosseum and the Forum, the street life and the Sistine Chapel. Venice is a crowded tourist disaster in the daytime, but in the evening, after the large groups leave, St Marks square is truly magical. Florence has great food, David, the Ufizzi and the marvelous view from across the river, best seen from the Piazzella Michelangelo. The most enjoyable part of Italy, however, is the Naples area, which has the kind of Italian food that most of us love, great scenery, and the most Italian lifestyle. Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Ravello. Capri all are great places to just enjoy the food, the wine (or Limoncello), the views and the people. I have never been bored in Italiy, not for a moment, not even in Milano.

Re: Web site feedback - OT
Thanks for the suggestions. I just placed a link back to home on the pages (^). I'm still working on the best way to do thumbnails. In previous web editors, I made a table and placed thumbnails in the boxes on the table. Freeway doesn't do tables, but does allow duplication of boxes as well as evenly spreading the boxes horizontally and vertically. Thanks again!

While we are on the OT subject, I'll mention that the official lingo for a site that renders well on everything from a big screen to a smartphone is called Responsive. Use that term to Google whatever you want to learn about regarding your site redesign. For example: If you are running a Wordpress-based site, you would probably google Wordpress Responsive template. http://www.splashnology.com/article/20-free-responsive-wordpress-themes/3973/ If you wanted to learn about Responsive web design you would google that and find this: http://www.abookapart.com/products/responsive-web-design http://www.netmagazine.com/features/50-fantastic-tools-responsive-web-design http://thinkvitamin.com/design/beginners-guide-to-responsive-web-design/ -- 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.

K-30 preorder on Amazon but no WS kit lens?
I noticed the other day that the K-30 has shown up on Amazon (for pre-order). $849 for the body and $899 with the kit lens. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks it is odd that a weather-sealed camera is being sold without a weather-sealed kit lens. (Obviously keeps the price tag lower, but this is a disconnect for the marketing dept. It should ALSO be offered with the WS lens so that people will look into the reasons for the price difference (and have a choice). If you make people look into weather sealing when it is an advantage for your brand, then you enhance your brand (in the minds of those people who deem it important). -- 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.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I'll check for those dupes. And I'll try to lower the photos a bit.

I just needed one, so I put something there. I know it doesn't fit well on an iPad. Thanks much for the suggestions.

From: Collin Brendemuehl I tried NAS on a netgear router. Didn't work. The drive was shared but also locked from multi-access. When on system had it mapped the others could not access it. It was frustrating, so I gave up. (I think it will allow multi-access for reading, but not for writing.) SAN is so much better than NAS. In my case, I think the only advantage of the NAS is I've got it it's (currently?) working (again?). I don't know if it matters that both the NAS the router are by D-link. I'm thinking about eventually getting another NAS, and I'm looking at the Netgear version Next time around. -- 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.
PESO - PAD - St. Bridget's Church - Print a Day 2
Day 2 of the Print-a-Day-for-30-days experiment is this photo of two of the altars in St. Bridget's church. This is another test shot from the same church in yesterday's photo. Photographing the church will be a longer term project for this year. Someone asked about the location of this church yesterday. It is in Omaha, Nebraska. http://georges.posterous.com/st-bridgets-church-print-a-day-2 Given all of the linen and marble in the photo you might think setting the white balance would be easy. In this photo, the perception of white is more important than a technically correct white. In a print, the color of the paper has an effect on the whiteness in the photo. Lightroom can help with this if you've calibrated your monitor and have accurate profiles for the ink and paper you've chosen. But the process isn't perfect. A simulation on a monitor will never perfectly match a print. So, there isn't any substitute for a test print. On the screen, even though I'm using a calibrated monitor, I don't know what anyone else will be using. My guess is most people will have the monitor setup just as it came from the factory. It's probably set way to bright and the colors will likely skew to the blue end of the scale. I just take my best shot at getting it right for a calibrated monitor and let the chips fall where they may.

Re: Tokina AT-X 828 AF PRO 80-200mm f/2.8 question
From: Darren Addy I'm curious... if it shows up in Photoshop as a Pentax-F 35-105mm, does that mean that it is also misreading the focal length that this lens is set at (when doing image stabilization)? If it is doing image stabilization for a 105mm focal length when the lens is set to 200mm, that could definitely lead to some lack of sharpness. I think I will see if I get better results with Image Stabilization off and tripod mount it (which I guess I should be doing to test for sharpness anyway!). I don't know. I think the camera just has to have some kind of a code to bury in the EXIF to identify the lens it uses the code that PhotoShop thinks is the Pentax-F 35-105. I don't know why it wouldn't use the code for the FA* 80-200/2.8 ED [IF]? But it apparently doesn't I just did a quick test on mine with the K20D when you press the INFO button, it shows the correct focal length - 80 = 80, 200 = 200 and in between shows proportional focal lengths in between. -- 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: Tokina AT-X 828 AF PRO 80-200mm f/2.8 question
The camera uses the code recorded in the data chip in the lens. Having partially disassembled an FA and an F lens I can say with relative assurance that that focal length is reported by several conductive strips that are sampled differently as the zoom ring is turned. I expect that the reported focal length is most likely correct. The Acontacts tell the camera the absolute maximum and minimum apertures the lens is capable of, (as per Boz K mount description page). Now I don't know how the following is done, but based on behavior I'd say the lens' on board chip sends a modification signal to the camera body based on the focal length selected so the camera will display and record the correct f stop. This doesn't happen with A zoom lenses since they have no chip.

Re: nanda devi/ milam glacier trek photos
thanks Ann, it was an amazing trek :). you are right, the photo is of the glacier's 'snout' but i wasn't making the point you thought i was. all that *is* solid ice, covered with a thin layer of soil so it all looks brown. about the snake fossil, i've just added the only other photo i took. hope that gives it some kind of scale: https://picasaweb.google.com/117979942681874882460/Nandadevi#5746649077613675042 thanks for looking. appreciate your comments...

Re: My light meter working OK?
If I were testing the meters, I'd do the following: 1. Be sure to compare both meters in spot metering mode. You probably did this but just in case... 2. Verify what the 'spot' in the spot metering is. Put a small saucer sized white paper plate on a piece of black foam core. With the K5 - fill the frame with the plate and then slowly walk away from it, letting the black foam core start to fill the frame. Keep the paper plate centered in the finder - you will see the meter reading stay steady and then rapidly change as the plate gets smaller than the area being metered. You can verify that the spot being measured correlates the to the circle in the center of the frame. You could do that with the Sekonic as well. 3. Test both the K5 and Sekonic on a gray card, using your knowledge of the size of the spots to be sure that you are only metering off the grey card. 4. If there is a material difference in the readings off the gray card, then test the meters off a gray card in direct noon sunlight and compare to the sunny 16 rule. Hopefully one of the meters will comply with that. 5. Use the meter that complies with sunny 16 to work up an adjustment factor for the other. 6. Spot meter off various colored items and see if the meters perform consistently. If they vary, they may be more or less sensitive to different colors. This can be a bugger because you have no control point. One meter may be more sensitive to green, another to red, you can't use one to calibrate the other. You can try the sunny 16 rule with different colors, of course.. Are you shooting slide film, color neg, or silver BW? If BW, I'd just go out and shoot, take notes (mental or otherwise) and compensate the workflow. That means tweaking your metering / film ISO setting (same thing), your development times and agitation regimen. Use the data printed along the edge of the film as a control point for developing. If you are shooting slide film you have to be more careful with metering. Here's a story about metering and slide film: I visited the beach with a friend of mine one day, and we both shot this lighthouse: http://www.markcassino.com/newsite/portfolios/lighthouses/pages/0204l07.htm He had a Nikon F5 with a super sophisticated evaluative / color corrected metering system that he relied on. I had a Pz-1p. I spot metered off the black metal frame, did some quick zone calcs in my head, and set the exposure manually. We both shot ISO 100 slide film (him Provia, me E100S.) My shots came out very well - maybe 1/4 to 1/2 stop over exposed, but very usable. His were a mess. SO taking control of metering with film is important. Good luck!

Well though out, but I don't think that's precise enough to get an accurate calibration. Sunlight intensity varies by the season and by atmospheric conditions. The only way to be sure a meter is accurate is to have it checked by a professional calibration service. Quality Light Metric in L.A. 323-467-2265 is among the very best.

Re: Web site feedback - OT
A few minor issues I see... - Your cover photo is of a happy sailor, but the only gallery you show is Katrina. Is this the cover photo for the Katrina gallery? In general, I think you need to be careful about the associations implied by the physical relationship between elements on your page. - I do not like the site name. Unless all of the included photos now and forever more will be TX400, and/or your intended audience is a bunch of old guys with nostalgic memories of the days when men were men, boys were boys, and real photographers shot low light BW, I think the name is somewhere between a misrepresentation and a bunch of random characters with no meaning to the majority of the audience. - Others have already pointed out the need for a gallery index. I click on the Katrina link, I see an image, and then I close the page and the site. If you do not add an index, make sure your best image is the first one because that is likely t be the only one anyone looks at. stan On May 24, 2012, at 9:53 PM, Jeffery Smith wrote: After a hiatus of about 6 years, I'm rebuilding a minimalist website from the ground up.
