Re: PESO - Feeding kiss (an alternative to extension for macro)
You are within stereomicroscope territory! Lovely image with perfect detail, by the way... Bulent - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/ http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2226822 http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/bulentcelasun 2012/7/15 Jostein Øksne p...@alunfoto.no: There was some exchange on the list about macro photography and extension a few days ago. Personally I prefer to use stacked lenses for magnification beyond 1X. Here's one I took today, using the 645D, and a 150mm lens stacked with a reversed 75mm. The magnification of this combo is 2X. That's about as much as I can cope with when working handheld. The image is severely cropped, but the motif gives you an idea of the possibilities in the field with this kind of setup. Image only: http://turl.no/kz3 In blog: http://alunfoto.blogspot.no/2012/07/feeding-kiss.html One reason why I prefer stacking over other solutions is that exposure automation keeps working. So you don't have to stop down the lens manually. Another reason is that P-TTL keeps working. Well, sort of; you have to diffuse the flash to avoid overexposure because of the short working distance, but that's okay because you really don't want specular highlights and sharp shadows anyway. And if you're patient, you might actually make AF working. But you have to keep the camera very steady. :-) The knack is to find to lenses that go well together. According to John Shaw (Book; closeups in nature), lenses in the normal range are best for reversing, and moderate tele lenses best for attaching to the camera. Personally I recommend using a tele lens with IF because it makes working distance more predictable.

One of my assumptions was it would be like downgrading from say the K10D to the K200D or the K-m but I was pleasantly surprised that it had the dual dials of the K-5; and except for the button layout at the back (similar to the K-r) almost everything else was the K-5. There is an improvement in focusing--less hunting and more precise. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bongmanayon/sets/72157630572719126/ More later... Very interesting. The difference in button layout between my K-x and K-5 is the biggest hassle in switching between them. I do really wish that the K-5's review button was in the same place as the K-r, so that I could review a shot without using my left hand, taking my left hand off the lens, or whatever. How does the K-30 compare in size and weight with the K-5, vs the K-r/K-x/Km? It sounds like it might be a very good compromise for backpackers like my friend Candace, for whom image quality and weather sealing are issues, but so are size and weight. -- 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.

The price I pay for the wonderful weather in Santa Cruz is being too far south to see aurorae. In other news, the Sigma EX 28mm f1.8 makes an *awesome* lens for aurora on the K-5. Congrats!

At one point I realized I could manually focus on infinity by using live view and aiming the camera at jupiter.

GESO fireworks
I've decided that fireworks, like flowers, are the photographic equivalent of candy. Pleasant now and then, but pretty much empty calories. There isn't a lot to do with them creatively, though I did try a few things, framing them with the moon, zooming during the exposure and such like.

Re: Geso Eldred King trail walk
Nice shots - I really like the images that show the sun dappling in the woods. Numbers 5,8, and 9 in particular. Mark On 7/15/2012 10:04 AM, David J Brooks wrote: Morning all. Saturday, there was an organized walk around on of the forest trails of the York Region trail system, held by the Region and hosted by two local pro photographer's and trail experts. One group was for more beginner camera folk and one for more advanced. A few of our camera club members were in attendance for the 2 km walk. A number of stops were made to learn about the aspects of the forests (this area was a replant due to deforestation 150 years ago or so) and to practice the various light conditions a forest can give. http://www.caughtinmotion.com/2012-forest/album/index.html Took about 135 photos can narroed them down to a group of about 25 or so.

Re: GESO fireworks
They are a bit like junk food, but I still enjoy shooting them. Having framing elements or foreground helps to tell the story a bit, and is nicer to look at than streaks of light against a black background.

Personally I prefer to use stacked lenses for magnification beyond 1X. Here's one I took today, using the 645D, and a 150mm lens stacked with a reversed 75mm. The magnification of this combo is 2X. That's about as much as I can cope with when working handheld. The image is severely cropped, but the motif gives you an idea of the possibilities in the field with this kind of setup. Image only: http://turl.no/kz3 In blog: http://alunfoto.blogspot.no/2012/07/feeding-kiss.html One reason why I prefer stacking over other solutions is that exposure automation keeps working. So you don't have to stop down the lens manually. Another reason is that P-TTL keeps working. Well, sort of; you have to diffuse the flash to avoid overexposure because of the short working distance, but that's okay because you really don't want specular highlights and sharp shadows anyway. And if you're patient, you might actually make AF working. But you have to keep the camera very steady. :-) The knack is to find to lenses that go well together. According to John Shaw (Book; closeups in nature), lenses in the normal range are best for reversing, and moderate tele lenses best for attaching to the camera. Personally I recommend using a tele lens with IF because it makes working distance more predictable.

Re: PESO - Pretty Little Goldfinch

Re: PESO: Honey, I think they're Closed
No, maybe not blown up to wall size, but it's a fun image--with some good light and composition, and funny repetition of the signs. It makes you giggle.

Re: GESO: Color Run 5K
Thanks. I noticed when reviewing them that I managed to catch several shots with feet just off the ground or even both feet. It's something that I start paying attention to after attending a lecture by a newspaper photojournalist who looks for moments like that. The funny thing is that I don't normally see that kind of thing when taking the shot.
