just heard from Ann!

2012-10-29 Thread Christine Aguila

Hi Everyone:

I just had a fun, chatty conversation with Ann in New York.  Her power is off, 
BUT ComEd--the electrical company--turned it off on purpose!  My husband and I 
learned on this evening's news that if there is salt water flooding and the 
power goes out while the electricity is still on, it takes  a lot longer to 
rectify the situation.  If, however, the power is off and there is salt water 
flooding, it takes a lot less time to get power back on.  Ann is not located in 
any of the A, B, or C areas, though she is close to C, I believe she said, so 
that helps.

Ann has lots of battery operated lighting, and she has pre-grounded her coffee, 
so she'll have drip coffee in the morning despite not being able to use her 
electric coffeemaker.  Ann said she tried to call Mark Roberts in Boston, but 
she got his voicemail, so no word there.

I told Ann I'd call her tomorrow just to check in.

Hope everyone else out east is safe.  We're all thinking about you guys!   
Cheers, Christine

Pentax Notice..

2012-10-29 Thread Joseph McAllister

Just listening to Diana Krall singing a slightly suggestive song she recorded 
in 1999, written by Michael Franks, called "Popsicle Toes". She had shortened 
and reversed the male female references.

The original lyrics:

And when God gave out rhythm
He sure was good to you.
You can add, subtract, multiply and divide...
By two.

I know today's your birthday,
And I did not buy no rose.
But I wrote this song instead and I call it,
"Popsicle Toes".

Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes are always froze.
Popsicle toes.
You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes.

You must have been Miss Pennsylvania
With all this pulchritude.
How come you always load your Pentax
When I'm in the nude?
We oughta have a birthday party,
And you can wear you birthday clothes
We can hit the floor
And go explore those
Popsicle toes.
You got the nicest North America
This sailor ever saw.
I'd like to feel your warm Brazil
And touch your Panama

But Your Tierra del Fuegos
Are nearly always froze.
We gotta see saw
until we unthaw those
Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes are always froze.
Popsicle toes.
You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes

I must say being that brash here would get me in a load of trouble.
Yet again just the other night at a paid gig I was bailed up by some
busybody asking what was I doing, why was I there, were the images
going on the internet etc. Unfortunately I pointed a 10mm lens in the
direction of the audience to get a crowd shot. I guess I either look
like I'm enjoying the process too much or I look like someone that the
cops need to know about. I have just included a photographers rights
brochure in my kit, ridiculous.

Re: OT: Keep us posted

2012-10-29 Thread Mark Roberts

News says there are 172,000 homes without power in the Boston area.
We're (obviously) not one of them. All the power lines in our
neighborhood are underground. Of course, if they're fed from lines
that are above ground and *those* get taken out we're still stuck...

It seems there are huge variations in storm intensity within
relatively short distances. It hasn't seemed too ferocious here so far
but a friend less than 4 miles away reported it as being very
frightening just a short while ago.

Local meteorologists predict the worst to come at around 9:00 this
evening and lessening very gradually through the night.

I agree with Bruce. Given that the recent firmware update brings focus
peaking to the ORIGINAL Q, I'd think that model would be highly
attractive as well. Advantages?

Significant savings over the Q10
Focus Peaking
RAW or JPEG (or both)
Unobtrusive with a capital "U" (if opting for black)
Lots of fun with in-camera filters (if you want)
Small & light lenses.
IQ that will surprise you.
Lots of Pentax features we know and love on the bigger bodies: SR,
multiple-exposure, intervalometer functions, video, etc.

You could get an original Q kit with the 8.5mm f1.9 (normal lens for
low light), the new telephoto zoom, AND the fun fisheye lens and still
be well under $1K.

Re: K-5IIs review and comparison to K-5

I guess it depends on how large the affected area is.  I read that
review and it was hard to say how the whole shot would look.  I mean,
if the face is sharper but the clothing is not quite "right", is that
OK?

Roe vs. Wa.. errr. RAW vs DNG

2012-10-29 Thread Igor Roshchin



Sorry for starting a new thread.

I just wanted to share the fact that I came across.
It is referenced e.g. in this Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Negative

Quote: 

Digital image preservation (sometimes known as "archiving"): to be
suitable for the purpose of preserving digital images as an authentic
resource for future generations.[19] Assessment: The US Library of
Congress states that DNG is a recommended alternative to other raw image
formats: "Less desirable file formats: RAW; Suggested alternatives:
DNG".[20] The Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow
(dpBestflow) project, funded by the United States Library of Congress
and run by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), singles
out DNG, and states "DNG files have proven to be significantly more
useful than the proprietary raw files in our workflow".[21]

See that article for the links/references.

This is pretty much what several PDMLers said in another long thread
for more specific PEF vs DNG comparison.

Re: The Digital Negative . Book Review

2012-10-29 Thread Igor Roshchin

Darren,

That term has been in use for many years now, - I think since at least
the first "raw" format images were produced by the digital cameras.

The word "negative" lost its original "negative" (i.e. the one that has
polarity opposite to the print) meaning, and means any source 
(including a file) from which you can do printing.
It also has a connotation of the "original" file that cannot be changed
(e.g. for forensic/legal purposes) and can be accepted as a legal proof
(hence the DNG format - digital negative).

Some words lost their original meaning and a new live in the digital 
world... BTW, "file" - is one of those words.

Cheers,

Igor

Hi Everyone:

I just got back from Miami about 4 hours ago.  The trip was work related, but I

shooting.  ISOs very high in many of these shots--1600 - 5000 ISO.  Lightroom

Re: Just Back from Miami--Little Havana

2012-10-29 Thread Christine Aguila

Thanks Tim, Larry, Derby, Bob, Ann, Paul, and George.  These shots are from 
Friday night, which was Cultural Friday in Little Havana--the last Friday of 
every month.  The energy and crowd was very up beat, friendly, and a bit more 
mixed.  The art in the galleries was fantastic; I bought a small piece, and the 
artist signed it for me.  

It was great to do some night shooting, and given the energy that night, I had 
a double bonus going.  I went back on Saturday night, and it felt different to 
me--edgier.  I met a nice artist, but over all, it didn't feel as open as the 
night before.

There is virtually no English spoken in Little Havana, so it was like doing 
international travel, which was lots of fun.  I actually enjoyed that.  Food 
was great!  Great pork chops, grilled onions, rice and black beans.  Loved it!  
And Pistachio ice cream at Azzors.  Loved that!

Cheers, Christine

Re: OT - Samsung Reportedly Will Stop Sourcing Apple

2012-10-29 Thread Boris Liberman

Darren, if you were turning to me (which seems to be the case according 
to my mail client) then:


1. Living in Israel and being on the brink of the war with just about 
every neighbor may be except Jordan I get my set of problems full 
enough, thank you.


2. Being non-American (non-British, non-Australian, etc) I find it 
fascinating to learn how things are beside and beyond where I am right 
now and where I was before.


3. I don't think there is any correlation between what I am pounding my 
keyboard about and what really concerns me. To be more accurate here - I 
am pounding my keyboard everyday for quite very many symbols being the 
professional programmer.


Having said that I don't mean to demean your set of problems nor to 
offend you in any way. However, I don't see why I cannot be discussing 
these things on the list (unless e.g. Doug comes in and requests that 
this discussion stops) with my peers who are willing to partake of this 
discussion.


With great respect.

Boris

Re: OT - can you recommend a good digital "rangefinder"?

2012-10-29 Thread Steven Desjardins

I've had a few of the Olympus PEN series and currently have an E-PM1.
The E-PM1 can now be had for under $400 with a lens, cheaper ont he
used market  It's a pretty good 12 MP sensor good up until 800
normally or 1600 with some heavy (and non-adjustable) NR.  This would
leave 6-700 for lenses.  I'd suggest the Lumix 14 2.5 ($250) and the
Olympus 45 1.8 ($400), both of which are sharp and pretty fast.  The
E-Pl1, an older body with a similar sensor but slower AF, is also out
then for $189, body only.  IQ is not as good as the Pentax DSLRs, but
perfectly fine as long as you're not printing really big (16 x20)
prints.

cameras. A portion of that includes a recommendation for 
non-SLR (aka mirrorless) digital cameras with changeable lenses for 
an enthusiast at early stages.

The camera is to be small (mobile, take-anywhere), easy to use in both 
automatic and semi-automatic/manual modes, able to handle reasonably 
low light, and not to have long shutter lag.  Most frequent use: 
shooting while travelling (landscapes, urban views),
shooting people/friends non-very-intrusively.

It would be a step-up alternative to something like Lumix LX-7 or
Samsung ex2f that allows interchangeable lenses (for growing needs).


The question is not about fancy Leica cameras or X100, or rather,
it is about mid-level cameras (with a budget of within $1K or less for
the body and one-two lenses).

I haven't been following this segment of the market as closely.
I think that some of the Panasonic/Olympus/..?  micro-4/3 cameras fall 
into this category, Nikon 1, etc.
I am not sure if K-01 or Q10 would be reasonable here, - they seem to
me too much of a "specialty", and not as "mainstream" cameras...

I'd appreciate if you can mention a few models that you'd recommend.
If you can point out the strong points of the model, - that would
also be great.


Thank you,

Igor

Interesting to see the note in the lower right of each of those

Extrapolating... it looks like the biggest sea surge would be
happening for northern NJ and NYC/Long Island areas (high population
affected). The high tide time of approx. 9 PM would probably be the
worst time for any sea surge to occur.

Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review

2012-10-29 Thread Darren Addy

Thanks for the review.

I dislike the use of the term "Digital Negative" in the sense used for
this book title. The term "digital negative" is used today to refer to
the process of using an inkjet printer and transparency material to
make a large format negative for contact printing (usually with a
historic or alternative process) to create a print in a traditional
darkroom (from what was originally a digital image).

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast

2012-10-29 Thread Ann Sanfedele


Well unfortunately there are people along the coast of Long Island that
considered IRENE a fizzle and are non-chalanting Sandy. One news 
reporter, I think in Far Rockaway, said that 80% of the population there

are not going to evacuate even though they are in a manditory evacuation
zone. Oy.

On 10/29/2012 10:08, Darren Addy wrote:

Sandy is definitely interesting to watch from afar (and glad I'm far
away). I would say that the biggest problem for most will be the power
outages (some estimates put it at 10 million without power). With
trees that still have leaves, heavy rain (or snow, as in WV) combined
with high winds mean lots of snapped branches and if those branches
are over or near power lines you've got an outage. Other than that,
the coastal region NORTH of Sandy's center (I won't say "eye" because
she will probably be post-tropical by the time she reaches land) will
be hardest hit by the storm surge (especially if/when combined with
full moon high tides).

West Virginia mountains are probably looking at a historic amount of
thundersnow, but that is probably better than dumping all of that
water directly into overtaxed streams and rivers. The question is: how
far into the lowlands will also see snow and where the temperature
line will set up for the snow to rain transition in northern WV?

A number of storm chasers will be "chasing" Sandy, which I think is
stupid on multiple levels. For one, visibility will be non-existent so
whatchagonnasee? This storm could take a good number of human lives
and, unfortunately, those out in in or on the roads are the ones that
are putting themselves most at risk. Leave your stalled car in the
West Virginia blizzard and you stand a good chance of dying. Pile-ups
resulting from poor visibility and downed trees and powerlines will
probably also happen. Particularly in populated areas being out on
foot will also be dangerous as anything that isn't nailed down is
going to be several counties away before the wind stops blowing.
Getting hit by anything that is windblown at 60+ mph is not going to
be fun.

Hope all in Sandy's path will just hunker down with plenty of
flashlight batteries and candles and some good books and enjoy the
fact that nobody expects them to be anywhere for a while.

Re: NEF or TIF

2012-10-29 Thread George Sinos

After reading you question I was curious, so I typed "Does Vuescan
support DNG" into google.

This is the page from The Vuescan Bible that popped up as the first result.

Re: Just Back from Miami--Little Havana

2012-10-29 Thread Daniel J. Matyola

That is an excellent galley, really capturing the atmosphere of the
neighborhood.  I really like the bicycle built for four, ad the spirit
of that image.

So gorgeous, the low light colours and the up-closedness. Really like:

Hi Everyone:

I just got back from Miami about 4 hours ago.  The trip was work related, but I 
did sneak off to Little Havana on Friday night.  It was fun to do some night 
shooting.  ISOs very high in many of these shots--1600 - 5000 ISO.  Lightroom 
handled the noise reduction well I thought.  Sorry I haven't been around 
much--work is insane!
