Re: Comet Pan-STARRS

[Igor Roshchin]

Here is some more detailed information from my colleague-astronomer:

>
Comets are fickle, so it is always hard to predict the evolution of the tails
as it approaches perihelion. This comet was discovered by the PanSTARRS
project, a 2.5m telescope in Hawaii (with more planned) which digitizes 
the sky regularly to find Near Earth Objects.

http://media.skyandtelescope.com/images/Comet-Panstarrs_Mar-7-20_556px.jpg
This shows you where to look. This was made for 40degN so the comet
will be higher in the sky here at 30deg. It will be brightest starting 9
March or so. It will be very easy to locate on the 12th relative to the
Moon.

http://medsa.skyandtelescope.com/images/j_EOS+6D4140_16.jpg
The photo was taken a few days ago in Argentina showing a nicely
developed dust tail. A good comet will have the dust tail extend at
least 45deg or so.

I hope this would be helpful to some people.

Eggleston

[Derby Chang]

Got myself into the opening of a new show at the Museum of Contemporary 
Art. William Eggleston, along with another photographer, Laurence 
Aberhart, and painter, Noel McKenna. I know Eggleston not in high regard 
on this list, but I do give him respect. There is a video by Eggleston 
playing in a separate room (with a parental guidance warning) that has 
shifted my view about him. Very Robert Frank. Worth seeing if you are in 
Sydney.

their champagne pouring)

Re: Eggleston

[David Parsons]

I saw a copy of his tricycle picture when Bank of America had an
exhibit at the MFA in Boston, and it really is much different
enlarged, rather than how you normally see it online or in small
books.

I don't like all of his work, but I respect his viewpoint and his use
of color photography and mundane items in artistic ways.

I just read that Seagate is discontinuing production of 2.5" 7200RPM

My assumption is that they'll keep the slower discs around for a
while for the cheapskates.

-Charles



During my most recent weekly pilgrimage to my local computer store, 3TB 7200rpm 
Seagate drives were less than $140.

The largest SSD available at a comparable price was 120GB.

I think large spinning drives may hold the mass storage market for a while yet.



Well... at 7200RPM you'll have to find another vendor.   Seagate
isn't going to make 'em.  I don't argue that you get more storage for
the buck with oxide - but the high-speed drives (7200+ RPM) are/were
aimed at those looking for Performance (with a capital P) and for
that you'll probably be seeing hybrid or SSD-only drives filling that
niche.


I dunno. I believe that's only 2.5 inch laptop drives. I expect 3.5 inch 
drives will be around a bit longer.

The thread about color profiles reminded me that I've got a Mitsubishi 19"
Diamond Plus 91 Diamondtron (Trinitron-alike) that I'd like to get rid
of.  Available for free with local pickup (SF peninsula) or $20 plus
shipping (to cover the packing materials).  I'm doing a lot of travel
over the next few weeks, so only local pickup if you're in a hurry.

GESO - Spectacles and spectators

[Igor Roshchin]

We are all spectacles and spectators...
(including the photographer)

http://42graphy.org/misc/Japan/KidsAndDeer/
(this works as a series)

Being a white guy, I think I was as much an exotic subject as the deer.
According to the wikipedia page about Nara:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nara,_Nara
" Demographics
As of 2005, the city has an estimated population of 373,189... 
There were about 3,000 registered foreigners in the city, of which
Koreans and Chinese are the two largest groups with about 1,200 and 800
people respectively. There were slightly fewer than 1,200 deer in Nara
in 2005." 
So, there are more deers than non-oriental foreigners in that city. :-)

Re: Red-tail

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I think it is an extraordinary image.  First, you capture a lot of
detail in the bird.  Beyond that, you caught it in flight and in an
unusual and compelling posture.  I think it works even as an abstract,
in addition to being a great action shot and nature image.

Use caution, Derbs. One does not simply admire Eggleston on the PDML.

the pre-show shots were more compelling; the last one very

Re: Peso Black Hill Farm

I like both of the images on your new blog very much. The contrast on
the farm scene seems to be dialed up a bit, but I still like it as an
effect. Shades of infrared film, somehow.

I think both images would show to good advantage in very large sizes
at the future Don Guthrie Retrospective at the Museum of Iowa Art.

Re: Comet Pan-STARRS

I believe this sentence must be a typo.

Coincidentally, comet expert John Bortle posted to the comets mailing
list this morning this interesting post regarding PanSTARRS' tail
presentation:
- - -
As I had pointed out quite some time back, PanSTARRS' dust tail is unlikely
ever to be impressive visually, in spite of probably being very long in
reality. While dust tails are often very broad (particularly the one
associated with C/2011 L4 it would seem) they are very thin in cross section.
Normally only when viewed from a relatively low angle do they gain great
prominence and length.

While the C/2011 L4 has grown ever brighter in recent weeks it has been
viewed against an ever brighter twilight sky as its elongation from the Sun
has dwindled. This basically offset any brightness gains the dust tail has
experienced. Compound this with the fact that currently our view of
PanSTARRS' dust tail is almost perfectly face-on, rendering the lowest possible
surface brightness as seen from Earth, and you get a relatively weak tail
presentation.

Although the visual (and photographic) length of the comet's dust tail
will certainly grow as it moves away from the twilight regions I wouldn't
really anticipate any spectacular presentation since the comet remains in or
near the fringes of twilight and at very low elevation in the western sky for
such a protracted interval. By the time PanSTARRS does get well clear of
these it will have faded considerably, along with physically having drawn
well away from the Sun and the nucleus' out-gassing become greatly reduced.

Thanks, Don!  This is a substantial crop and, of course, a smallish jpeg file. 
All of which lend themselves to a somewhat softer brush stroke feel.
I wish they didn't have telescopic eyesight. Feel like they're checking out my 
camera settings while I think I'm stealthily stalking them.

It's an interesting set of images, but a bit repetitive.
Some of them are, indeed, stunning.  But repeating what
is pretty much the same shot (just against a different
background) seems superfluous.

One of the cool things is that the Samsung SSD we got doesn't need a

Subject wise, both images are well done.
The second image has a 'faked' look to it along the top edge (like you ran

RE: Anybody still shoot with an LX ?

[mail1]

I have 3 LX Bodies with most all of the really great M lens from 14m/m to
500m/m
Other than 1 CLA by Pentax in Colorado for each body. I have found them to
be very reliable.
I imagine environmental factors such as humidity, ozone, etc could degrade
the bumpers and seals quickly.
One of the LX I use I ran run enough film to wear the chrome off the ends of
the film support rails. This camera; after I finally lost track of multi
thousands of rolls of film shot; required  replacement of the worn parts in
the shutter mechanism and film transport system. The camera rebuild was
still cheaper than buying a used body on eBay and it works perfectly.
Pentax Colorado's Pro Camera service dept really did some fine work on my
equipment.
I mostly shoot a Pentax 645nII now and have considered selling off the
complete LX system. I stated with the Spotmatic in the 60's then on to the
KX1000 and a MX camera. The LX has proven to me to be superior to the MX
light meter and its lack of shutter coupling.

Ah, the LX. A wonderful camera that may as well have been designed and built
by the Fiat car company.
So, what can go wrong with an LX?
Pretty much everything.
Other than the aforementioned rubber bumper that turns to goo, you can have
problems with ALL of the seals in the camera. The back door seals can turn
to jelly, as can the top mirror bumpers.
In addition to that, the aperture cam follower resistor is prone to
corrosion, as is the ISO resistor. (exemplified by really flaky exposures in
outomatic).
In addition, the TTL flash control is beyond useless in all but the most
controlled circumstances, useless to the point that although I owned three
of them, it was the K1000 that I used professionally at weddings. 
I couldn't depend on the LX to fire the flash.
All three of mine went into the shop on a bi-yearly basis with something or
other wrong. The last time, I sent all three of them off in one box, hoping
against hope that they would get lost in the mail and I could replace them
with something else with the insurance money. Alas, it was not to be, and
eventually, they were all shipped back to me.
I love the LX, but I don't miss it.

I'm with Paul on the crop (you're not surprised, right?)
The exposure, color nice.. what was a bit odd was how very sharp all the

Comet Pan-STARRS 2

[John Sessoms]

Still no joy. I was in position & set up about 5 min before sunset. 
Bright blue, clear skies without a cloud anywhere except for the 
beautiful orange murky haze on the western horizon.


I watched until all the orange faded (about 1-1/2 hrs after sunset) and 
never saw it.

Thanks, Ann.

Yes, he was moving, at a relatively brisk pace, looking for insects.
The image was taken in Kihei, Maui, just off Keawekapu Beach, while we
were watching the sunset, which is a traditional activity on he West
coasts of Maui and the Big Island.

OT Gearing up for a shoot tonight

[Rob Studdert]

Hi Team,

Should be a good night for me tonight photographically, I'm shooting a
very good and mature gospel
a cappella choir with special guests. Unfortunately I had to reject an
offer to shoot Deep Purple and attend the after party last week due to
other commitments, I must say that it was difficult looking at the
images made by the guy who took my place (not as good as I could have
done of course :) You win some and lose some I guess.

Has anyone else got any interesting photo projects lined up for this weekend?

Cheers,

I'm at a science fiction convention, and I'm using the large number of

My personal rule is to never make a claim for less than twice the 
deductible.

FS Friday - Pentax K-7 DSLR $225 Plus Shipping

[Mark C]

*NOTE* Please do not reply to this message but email 
mcass...@chartermi.net.


I held onto this body as a backup for my K-5 but it has seen virtually 
no use in the past year. If my K-5 dies I now have the K-01 as a backup 
a) and would have an excuse to upgrade to a K-5IIs, so the need for the 
K-7 as a back up is even further diminished. So - time to sell it!


The camera is in excellent condition. The camera shows only a few light 
marks from normal use. There are a few buff marks and scratches around 
the hotshoe from mounting flashes. The back of the LCD shows light wear 
with some very light scratches (normal wear), but nothing deep and 
nothing that shows when the LCD is lit. All other camera functions work 
perfectly. I tested the built in flash, AF, and other functions and 
found no problems.


Per the Pentax forums page the body has a shutter count of 17,474 and 
was manufactured on 7-21-2009. I updated the firmware recently with the 
latest batch of firmware updates from Pentax.


The exact items for sale:

- Pentax K-7 DSLR body. Has all body caps except the flash hot shoe cap 
(I may be able to find one for it but so far, no luck). Includes strap 
lug with leather do-dads.

- Manual
- One Battery
- Disk with Pentax Software S - SW90
- Battery charger and cord
- Black and Red Pentax Logo strap
- Camera to RCA cable cord (AV Cable I-AVC7)
- USB Cable I-USB7
- Original box.

I'm asking $225 plus shipping and insurance.

- Mark

Agreed.  I'm not a fan of having no clue what the images are.  I also
expect that clicking on a photo will show an enlarged version, not go to
the next one.

Re: Anybody still shoot with an LX ?

[Mark C]

I use my LX fairly regularly nd love it.  I was using it recently and 
thought that that Pentax should come out with a D-LX DSLR body with the 
real-time metering and other cool features of the LX bundled into a 
state of the art DSLR. Maybe they will.


You never know, and you may be lucky, but you may need to have the 
camera services. In my case the seals and bumpers were good  but the 
real time metering was not working. I had it repaired by Pentax many 
yeas ago and it still works - I actually did some very long exposure 
shots last summer as was very happy to see it still functioning. I use 
the camera pretty regularly for day to day B&W film shots and it is 
still working great - so in my case while I had to get if CLA'd it is 
still working great.


The LX was made for a long period of time and Pentax introduced 
incremental improvements, so older LX's lack some features of newer 
bodies. IIRC, the SO range on some older bodies topped out at 1600, but 
later was upped to 3200. On later bodies metering is activated by 
depressing the release button for the ISO control wheel in addition to 
half depressing the shutter button. My LX did not have this function. 
but Pentax added it when they fixed it up. I also think there was a 
minor difference in the dot pattern on the shutter blades  for metering 
between versions.


The LX is truly a fabulous body for it's vintage. The off the film 
metering for long exposures is great for low light work. I think that 
only Olympus had a similar feature in one of their bodies.


Good luck!

Mark

I tripped across a cosmetically gorgeous LX body (FA finder) yesterday

It appears that I may have taken a bit of a gamble, since it looks
like a lot can go wrong with these things and a full CLA from Eric
(pentaxs.com) is going to run $160-200 (!). It won't arrive until next
Tuesday, so I have a lot of time to fret.

I believe that I bought it reasonably enough that even if I did
nothing to it I could turn around and sell it for at least what I gave
for it, as it sits, so I don't think I have anything big to worry
about.

I'm hopeful that I can put in a mirror bumper pad and seals in the
film back (myself) and be good to go, but that remains to be seen. I
was hoping that those of you with an LX (or experience with them)
might tell me what sort of issues you had with them (if any) and your
impression of where the LX stands in the Pentax film body family.
