Well not quite anyway. It goes through post and then stops at a blinking curser on a blank black screen. So I built a slipstream recovery disk with the proper drivers on it and then attempted all manner of recovery. I rebuilt boot.ini. Still no boot. I rebuilt the boot sector, no boot. I rewrote the mbr, no boot. I did a full repair of windows. (Did I mention the drive tests out as just ducky?), no boot. I reinstalled windows preserving drivers, laptop restarts no boot. Now here's the salient issue. I'm using it right now. On startup the laptop gives the option for a one time boot menu, which includes all attached bootable devices, including the internal harddrive. Just for laughs selected the that drive and it boots! WTF. Now I know this isn't a tech forum but heck, I've tried all of the ones I usually frequent and no one has a solution to this. This is causing me to tear out what's left of my hair and I don't want to look like Cotty. Hmm, that's an odd one, dude. Did you use Windows to try to fix up the MBR, partition boot record, etc.? If so, maybe try it again with a Linux distribution geared to system recovery? I have to wonder if one or more of those tools is assuming that it knows better than you and not actually writing a new loader. It almost sounds like a UEFI boot where the crypto certificates have gotten corrupted. I think there used to be an option where you can step through loading the drivers that prompts you for each one & you have to press 'Y' for it to load. Tedious, but if it hangs at a particular driver, you know which one is giving the problem. I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't know if it's still in the boot menu. I knew about that it was my next step but the damned thing fixed itself.

Last night, I put my strobe on the upstairs back porch, with the shade to direct the light, and got some photos of the shadows cast. I'm not entirely pleased with the results, I'd like sharper shadows all of the way around. I had thought about putting the grid on the strobe, another possibility is taking the shade off (almost the opposite) which would make the light source smaller, and therfore sharper/harder. Another possibility would be some foil over the end of a shade with a smaller hold in the middle, for an even smaller relative light source. Has anyone tried something along these lines? Or have other suggestions? For reference, here is a shot from last night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8042908138/in/set-72157631665170226 note that the shadows are nice and sharp at the bottom, but a bit fuzzy and rough at top. There are also probably other things I could do by setting the light up along the 30-50 foot length of the dance floor and deck, rather than the 20 foot width, and shooting down from a ladder to get a higher angle. -- Larry colen...@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.

If so, maybe try it again with a Linux distribution geared to system recovery? I have to wonder if one or more of those tools is assuming that it knows better than you and not actually writing a new loader. It almost sounds like a UEFI boot where the crypto certificates have gotten corrupted. I think there used to be an option where you can step through loading the drivers that prompts you for each one & you have to press 'Y' for it to load. Tedious, but if it hangs at a particular driver, you know which one is giving the problem. I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't know if it's still in the boot menu. -- 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: PESO: Bud
Thanks, Frank. I was talking shots with flash and reflective surfaces the previous evening, and had adjusted the exposure to -1.7. I didn't notice that I had forgotten to reset the exposure compensation, so this and the other early morning shots the next day were badly under exposed. Adjusting the lighting and contrast in PS produced the "hot" image that you see. Although it is defective, and not what I had intended, I liked the result, so I kept it, and ran it up the flag pole. I had anticipated negative comments, but I wanted to see what others thought of the effect.

PJ's nightmare... On startup the laptop gives the option for a one time boot menu, which includes all attached bootable devices, including the internal harddrive. Just for laughs selected the that drive and it boots! WTF. Matthew is probably right, and got there faster, just saw his post Have you checked in the BIOS that the default boot order is correct (i.e., has the hard drive first)? Also, I've had badly-behaved USB devices prevent booting, so if you have anything attached, try removing it. (That probably even includes SD cards in an internal reader.) Possible explanation indeed - based on the boot menu success - the cpu was trying to boot a device diff than your hard drive, an incapable one. By any chance you had a non-bootable usb or memory card in the pc yesterday? Once I used my Linux pendrive on someone's pc and forgot to point the first boot to the hard drive later - he called me in the middle of night... Got there and removed his pendrive, boot success, my fault it was in restoring bios settings.

Playing with shadows
Larry, interesting image(s). I do like it as is, feel the top of the
bike expands and may perfectly blur as expands. Just me, of course.
You may get sharper shadows and proper light intensity somehow focusing
the light. One assignment long ago was to cast a perfectly round and
crisp patch of light on a model - even the bare flash head was too soft
and the output too weak, so I rented a continuous light "cannon" and
managed to project trough the door. The photo can't be shown now (not
scheduled to scan and post since it was an assignment with clear and
directed briefing based on previously published fashion shot, not {my
own idea} image) but the model's shadow is crisp as it gets over the
background. It does get softer on the far side - but still sharper than
otherwise.
I remember some fresnel attachments for modifying camera flashes that
allow wildlife photographers to fill distant subjects. Believe they are
plastic, not needing to stand modeling lights. My Sinar had a fresnel
attachment, needed with tilted and shifted wide angles - may be another
source. Don't know if it will work, maybe you could try to project a
flash light with a wide angle and normal lenses to prove the concept -
I'd try it tonight if I get my flashlights to work ;-).
Moving the light source far is a try, but it also would change the kind
of projection of the shadow - paralel light rays means shadow of the
same size, distortion provided only by the angle between light, bike and
the floor. Hey, almost forgot the focus zone of the tilted camera... you
have some choices to do.
I'm curious, do post the next set.

luiz felipe
luiz.felipe at luizfelipe.fot.br
Larry's light experiments:
When I sit out at night on the bench by the river in my back yard, I
keep noticing the shadow cast by my bicycle onto the dance floor. Last
night, I put my strobe on the upstairs back porch, with the shade to
direct the light, and got some photos of the shadows cast. I'm not
entirely pleased with the results, I'd like sharper shadows all of the
way around.
I had thought about putting the grid on the strobe, another possibility
is taking the shade off (almost the opposite) which would make the light
source smaller, and therfore sharper/harder. Another possibility would
be some foil over the end of a shade with a smaller hold in the middle,
for an even smaller relative light source.
Has anyone tried something along these lines? Or have other
suggestions?
For reference, here is a shot from last night:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8042908138/in/set-72157631665170226
note that the shadows are nice and sharp at the bottom, but a bit fuzzy
and rough at top.
There are also probably other things I could do by setting the light up
along the 30-50 foot length of the dance floor and deck, rather than the
20 foot width, and shooting down from a ladder to get a higher angle.

Well not quite anyway. It goes through post and then stops at a blinking curser on a blank black screen. So I built a slipstream recovery disk with the proper drivers on it and then attempted all manner of recovery. I rebuilt boot.ini. Still no boot. I rebuilt the boot sector, no boot. I rewrote the mbr, no boot. I did a full repair of windows. (Did I mention the drive tests out as just ducky?), no boot. I reinstalled windows preserving drivers, laptop restarts no boot. Now here's the salient issue. I'm using it right now. On startup the laptop gives the option for a one time boot menu, which includes all attached bootable devices, including the internal harddrive. Just for laughs selected the that drive and it boots! WTF. Now I know this isn't a tech forum but heck, I've tried all of the ones I usually frequent and no one has a solution to this. This is causing me to tear out what's left of my hair and I don't want to look like Cotty. Hmm, that's an odd one, dude. Did you use Windows to try to fix up the MBR, partition boot record, etc.? If so, maybe try it again with a Linux distribution geared to system recovery? I have to wonder if one or more of those tools is assuming that it knows better than you and not actually writing a new loader. It almost sounds like a UEFI boot where the crypto certificates have gotten corrupted. Well I got tired walked the dog, (three in the morning here), and damn it boots! I don't know what changed, I don't know how it changed. When things just seem to fix themselves it worries me. Oh well at least it looks like I'll get the project I'm doing for Thursday finished. -- Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a lengthly search. -- 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.
