Posting Photos of Street Art can get you arrested
Hi John, Stan, Bob and many other good PDMLers, I agree with you folks that we should not publish, depict, post or spread hatred on a Public Network. I have lived in many parts of the world, including my native Bangalore India. In some places I find the Police very haughty, high handed, loud and with an intimidating body language / swagger. They hand cuff people for petty misdemeanors, even when they are not violent. Here in India or in Muscat, Oman and in Dubai, the UAE, I have never seen Police handcuffing people except in homicide cases or violent crimes. In fact I was surprised to find the Royal Oman Police very kind, helpful and humane. I remember being involved in a pile up - high way speed here is 120 kmph. The Police Officer greeted us with an "As Saalam Alaikum", shook hands and requested us for our Driving Licence and the Vehicle Registration Card. He then directed us to the nearest Police Station, where we were issued with the Police Report, which helps us file the Insurance Claim. I believe this lady had some tiff with the Police earlier during Protests for College Fee Hike or something. She may have had a grouse and vented it by photographing violent street art and then publishing it. I have seen such street art on a paid photo walk in San Francisco. Worst still we found folks absolutely naked on the streets of San Francisco, Castro District I think, with the dingle-dangle and all in full public view. And there were children, women, tourists in the area. I must say I am confused by the moral & social values in the Americas. Once in Chicago, I saw a lovely little girl in a wheel chair. I had a little brother like her with mental retardation, but he drowned swimming in the river Ganga. So I bent down to chat with her out of over whelming love and affection and blessed her by touching her hair and fore head. My host later told me it is not a done thing here. I was sad on hearing this. Regards. Bipin - from that far away enchanting land. -- 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: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
She wasn't presenting them as news or facts but rather as propoganda. The NY times cannot publish cartoons endorsing the president's asassination. I cannot publish an editorial stating that people should get their guns and kill the nearest police officer they see. She was also part of some cop hating group or something like that. I see your points (and I'm mostly playing devils advocate, because I'm no fan of police), but there are limits on speech and harassment and threats are generally considered criminal and yeah that's certainly the start of a very slippery slope. I'm also apalled that a photographer was charged with anything for street photography. Maybe he was being a dick (some are), I dunno, but what he did was within his rights. I try to at least be respectful of people at least. Maybe he went wrong there, but that's nothing to go to jail over.

Re: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
I've been following this thread for a while. First of all, even in america, there are limits to free speech. You don't have a right to harass someone (this is a slippery slope I realize...) or threaten their life. This girls actions repeatedly did so and emphasized and encouraged violence against a group of individuals. If they were black, she'd be a racist and nobody would feel any pity for her. As much as I dislike the current police state that america has become, I still do not hate police because they are all people after all and there are always good and bad people. If people want to get upset, they should be looking at the politicians and prison industrial complex that have made this country into the highest in the world in terms of incarcerations. We don't need fema concentration camps. Our laws weed the lower class from society automatically. We have already lost. What this young woman did was very hateful and definitely threatening and enticing violent action. All of which are technically against the law here, and for good reasons. Free speech is no free ride. This wasn't an art project. it was intentional harassment. Also not mentioned nearly enough is the already existing restraining order against her. This clearly has been racheting up for a while. She's obviously a moron if you ask me. I guess she was a protester that got arrested and decided cops were all satan. Whatever. Still doesn't give her a right to publically and actively encourage murder. Just some thoughts.

Re: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
The paranoids will find more than enough to self-justify their paranoid conspiracy notions; it is a central aspect of the disease. The "need" to coddle them is not reason enough to allow the propagation of threats of violence. I am all for freedom of speech and freedom of expression. But I don't think yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater as a prank is a legitimate exercise of free speech, nor do I think that death threats against police or politicians has any place in reasoned public discourse in a democratic society. stan On Apr 5, 2013, at 4:54 PM, David Parsons wrote: > I disagree.

Re: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
And also, the once who initially is censored will increase the volume until they get attention, like children. That was also one of the reasons our madman used after killing a lot of children. He felt that he was censored and not allowed to speak his opinion. I think it is better to let them be discussed in the open. Most people will not be mislead by their opinions, and if they did the society as a whole has a major problem anyway. DagT 5. apr. 2013 kl. 22:54 skrev David Parsons : > I disagree.

OT - Street photographer 'Not Guilty' but convictrd anyway
This is a bit of a worry. A photographer was detained for photographing a person without consent in a public place. The judge acknowledged that the photographer didn't need permission to take the photo but found him guilty of disorderly conduct because some of the people being photographed took offense. http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2013/04/04/australian-photographer-charged-disorderly-behavior-causing-offense-for-str -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- 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: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
I disagree. When you censor people, it tends to lend credence to their paranoia about the institutions that they distrust. And when the government feels that it's okay to censor one group, they'll eventually feel that it's okay to censor any group.

In the U.S. this would be protected by the 1st Amendment. Calling her photo a threat is HORSE CRAP! From: Stan Halpin As I read it, the problem is not that she took a picture.

Notes on the Pentax D-Li90 Battery
Some points on getting the most from the D-Li90 Battery:- a) Note: the Pentax battery supplied with the K-5 no longer has the better Gold plated contact pins. It is plain chrome plated only, and prone to oxidation, where an opaque layer or a film forms on the pins. b) Was frequently getting the depleted battery sign on the K-5 with the Pentax original battery. It gave just (400) shots from a full charged battery - flash not used. c) Used pure ethyl alcohol & Q-tips to clean the contact pins and then polished them off with a soft cloth. d) The depleted battery sign menace has gone away, and I now easily get around 700 shots. e) Last week a 3rd Party battery arrived from Singapore for $ 7 shipped. Looks very good and matches the Pentax Amp Hour Rating - 1860 Ah. I put it for charging in the Pentax original Charger. The Green charging light would come on and the shut down immediately. First thoughts - bad battery. Then I cleaned the contact pins as in Sl. c) above. And voila the battery charged very well. f) I keep a voltage record of all my batteries - discharged and fully charged. The Singapore battery measured 8.50 volts vs 8.45 for the Pentax when fully charged. Which means it is just as good and will last longer than the Pentax original. g) How do I make this claim?I have kept voltage records of all my D-Li50 battery for the K20D for the last (4) Years. All the batteries are still going strong - (1) Pentax original and (3) 3rd Party. I use it in the Camera as well as in the original D-BG2 Grip. As the battery age, the full charge voltage keeps going down. Here are some results:- Pentax original when New - 8.46 v, after 42 months - 8.24 v; 3rd Party 1 - 8.54 v & 8.28 v; 3rd Party 2 - 8.56 v & 8.17 v.

Re: OT Q: pen for signing on inkjet paper?
As a gesture of "closure", in case anyone Googles this someday, here's what I found. The Staedtler Triplus Fineliner pens come in silver and gray, have a very fine soft point, and write indelibly onto the semigloss Epson Satin Photographic 240 GSM inkjet paper. So that's how I signed my prints. I used silver as it's about 20% gray, but the gray pen looks good too and is about 80% gray. I'm investigating the digital signature ideas -- thanks for those -- but I'm kinda partial to my signature not being a cookie-cutter thing, but rather unique to each signed print. Thank you to everyone who suggested a solution. Your thoughts are much appreciated!

Re: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
More importantly, you may want to think about the context in which you post your pictures. Although on the surface of it this is a very worrying event, I don't think that anyone here [*] would have been arrested for posting this image on Flickr or photo.net. What drew police attention to this woman is her recent activity. She's a student who has been arrested and fined multiple times during tuition-hike protests in the last year. This image is just one in a series of anti-police images she has posted recently, which according to The Globe & Mail included: `` a photo of a bullet several weeks ago with the caption "we're going to kill," along with a photo of another piece of graffiti that said "one cop, one bullet." A photo posted on the eve of her arrest showed graffiti with the message "Death to cops." Ms. Pawluck posted the photos on Instagram under her handle, anarcommie.'' So this wasn't a random arrest. Pawluck is being disingenuous about this incident and coyly says "art is art". http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/quebec-woman-facing-charges-over-online-anti-police-graffiti/article10779292/ http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/04/03/jennifer-pawluck-arrested-instagram-graffiti-police_n_3010400.html http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/why-was-a-student-in-montreal-arrested-for-instagramming-graffiti http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/crime/jennifer-pawluck-arrested-posting-anti-police-art-instagram -- [*] a possible exception being Larry. :-) On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 11:33 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > > > You may want to think what photos you post: > http://hyperallergic.com/68151/artist-arrested-for-instagramming-street-art/ > > Cheers, > > Igor > > > -- > 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. -- -bmw -- 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.

FS Friday: Our last Pentax 645D kit with AF 55mm f2.8 SDM
First off, thanks (and congrats!) to the PDMLer who bought a 645D kit from us. You're going to have a lot of fun with it. :) Now I have one left. Same as before, it has very few actuations on it. It's an open-box new camera, which means it's been taken out of the box to show customers, but hasn't left our store. It comes with the full 1-year Pentax warranty (2 years if you register it with Pentax online). It's also eligible for our Exceptional Service Plan on new equipment, which can add another year or two to Pentax's coverage. To make it easy, we handle all warranty claims for you, so we cover the shipping, handing, etc. Anyone who's bought gear from us before knows that we're honest, fair, and take care of any problems for you. Because these are open-box cameras, the price is ridiculously low, so I wanted to let the PDML group know in case anyone's had their eye on one but was waiting for the price to drop. These bodies typically sell for $8799. We're selling ours for $6999.99, and including a $1000 Pentax AF 55mm f2.8 SDM lens along with it for that price. http://www.photoprice.ca/product/03348/Pentax-645D-price.html It's a wonderful opportunity if you're looking to get into medium format digital. If you're interested, email me any time at cbrog...@donsphoto.ca or call (204) 254-9075 Monday-Friday.

Re: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
As I read it, the problem is not that she took a picture. The problem is that she posted it on a public forum. Think about it. Making physical threats against the U.S. President is going to attract the attention of the Secret Service, making threats against others is arguably an offense as well. So, say some makes a serious threat, you then copy and/or photograph that threat and post it. I don't see how your lack of originality makes you any less culpable. stan On Apr 5, 2013, at 7:58 AM, Darren Addy wrote: > I'm not sure about Canada, but I would love to get arrested for > photographing something in the U.S. The judgment I would eventually > receive for false arrest would make the proposition quite profitable. > > On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 10:33 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: >> >> >> You may want to think what photos you post: >> http://hyperallergic.com/68151/artist-arrested-for-instagramming-street-art/ >> >> Cheers, >> >> Igor >> >> >> -- >> 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. > > -- > 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. -- 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: backfocus kx
I believe you are correct, Collin, that it is not possible with firmware after 1.0. With firmware 1.0 you could do focus adjustment through the debug mode. See this thread: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/167556-fixing-front-back-focus-k-x.html This is not a problem with the lens, but the lens + AF point (you are adjusting the AF point when you apply a front/back correction). Therefore, assuming your focusing screen is properly adjusted, can you get better results by manually focusing? If your focusing screen is not original (you have installed a split prism, for example) you might also have problems if it is not shimmed properly.

Re: Posting photos of street art can get you arrested
I'm not sure about Canada, but I would love to get arrested for photographing something in the U.S. The judgment I would eventually receive for false arrest would make the proposition quite profitable.

Re: backfocus kx
The only solution I know of is to use one of the cameras with focus adjustment: K20D, K-7 or K-5.

backfocus kx
Well, I got my FA35/2. Love the sharpness. Hate the back-focus issue. But I can't find any adjustment on a v1.03 camera.
