What I slightly dislike here, on this picture is that I had shadow enchancement on and it reduced contrast rather than making shadows and colors bit deeper. -- roman.blakout.net K-5 × DA 16-45 × DA 17-70 SDM × DA* 50-135 SDM × FA 50 × FA 35-70 -- 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: Qeustion for mirrorless shooters, using both eyes?

One in the view finder for framing and focusing, and the other to watch the action and know when to press the shutter? I need glasses to look at the LCD, as far away from my face as I can hold it. But, most of my photography is of dogs in action, or birds in flight. So what I've done, as mentioned by others before me, is to buy and put together a red-dot sight that sits in the hot shoe of my Q. All parts came together today. Experimentation this afternoon has shown that much practice is needed. I believe the goal it to watch the action with both eyes while inserting the red-dot sight up into that field of view so you can see the red-dot centered in the reticle and hope the AF finds the same thing you are trying to photograph. Forget the LCD screen. Not for the easily discouraged.

Re: GESO Regional Airshow
A fantastic gallery, Rob. A lot of historical stuff there. I liked the
Catalina, the Mustang ('plane) the '59 Chev Biscayne. There is quite a lot
of that sort of stuff in SA too but I never get to see it because the shows
are all too far away.

Subject: GESO Regional Airshow
Hi Team,
I took a friend, my son and my camera gear to the regional airshow
Wings Over Illawarra last weekend. It was a great day, there were lots
of people there but it wasn't crowded, the weather stayed absolutely
perfect and my son exhibited particularly good behavior in the
circumstances (rides, toys, lollies, etc bribed successfully by
sequential sausage sandwiches).
The following gallery is a roughly edited overview of the day, just a
warning it's almot 300 images deep, many of those look similar so if
you aren't an aircraft/car enthusiast it's probably not for you.

You can find a list of incompatibilities here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also not that you may have to upgrade to Lion before you can go to Mountain Lion. Not sure on that.

As others have said, you should always worry about file loss. :-/ However, I've never had a problem with any Apple upgrade, that's one thing they do better than anyone else. But do note particularly with Mountain Lion that lots of old apps will break. One thing to be specifically aware of with 10.7/10.8 is that there's a new disk encryption system if you're using that.

For all of you facing this - the improvement in color perception is terrif - I can see those things in the shadows now, even though my other eye still has a small cataract. best of all, it had a definite positive effect on my glaucoma control. (aside to Dan, 16-16 after surgery ) Doc said that happens in about 20% of cases. Only thing that is a bit hard to deal with is how very very drowsy the medications post-op are making me. three different eye drops on a tight schedule 4 times a day for a week, then 3, then 2, then once. plus my twice a day glaucoma drops.

I was so wired -before_ the op that I was more awake than I though I'd be the first day. Turns out a friend's son , just by chance, was my nurse du jour before the procedure, which was fun and comforting for me. I swore I heard someone say whose carving? when I was wheeled into op room, to which I replied where's Alan Alda? - this turns out tohave been a total hallucination - my doc on second follow up was quite amused but assured me no one had said _that_ and evryone in the op theatre was far to young to catch the reference, not to mention the inappropriateness. I do wonder what was said that became carving to my ear. I actually watched the whole thing, in a way - you don't have any sense that anyone is even touching you - very odd - and what I saw was like watching a spaceship, lots of intersting colors, and so on. Unlike some friends who thought that nothing had been done and asked when where they going to do anything, I had specifically asked not to be heavily sedated, and I did know something was being done and talked with the doc during it, who kept telling me I was doing fine, as if I were a participant. Then there was the nasty stuff afterwards - nono, not physical - financial! If I had gotten the prescriptions that were written (It occured to me they didn't know I didnt have the med thing on medicare) I simply would have been unable to get them - close to $400 for those three little drops ... HOWEVER, FWB got on the computer and got it down to $88 through Canada and we went back to the hospital for the follow up on Friday the 3rd with papers... I bet they thought he was a lawyer. Suddenly, I got 3 new prescriptions for generic equivalent drugs that brought my investment in drops down to $59 total. (I get my glaucoma drugs free.) Now, even if your health insurance covers those obscene prices (which, of course, are chicken-feed compared to those for really serious illnesses) sheesh...

Re: OT OSX question
Just for safety's sake, before you start: - make sure you have a-good backup - use the Disk Utility to Repair Permissions if you haven't done that recently While in the process, have any printers turned on so that they will be detected and proper drivers installed. Then when you've finished the upgrade, re-run the Permissions repair.

Re: OT OSX question
Dave, you can go straight to Mountain Lion (10.8), bypassing Lion. You buy it through the App Store application, it downloads (took about 8 hours over my DSL line), and you install from the downloaded application. You likely won't notice any appreciable changes speed-wise from Snow Leopard, at least I didn't If anything I thought some things sped up a bit, and it appears to be a little lighter on RAM use. It also enabled downloading a few updates for iLife apps that weren't available under Snow Leopard. There are a couple of UI changes that you can adjust to your taste in the Preferences. $19.95 is a pretty cheap upgrade. I went with it so I'd be ready for LR5.

PESO -- Untitled XXXX
Yesterday was slightly overcast, but I decided to take a drive along the beach anyway, took the Kalamar 500mm mirror along just because I hadn't used it lately, thought maybe I'd get some photos of wildlife, it can be surprising good at middle distances. I didn't get anything at all presentable except this grab shot with AS set at the wrong focal length. There are a lot of defects with this image, not the least of which is that the intricate green and black pattern in the dress is completely lost, but I kind of liked the composition. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20%20untitled.html Equipment: Pentax K20D w/Kalamar 500mm Mirror f8.0 As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

It may not surprise people that I've put some thought into how to handle large numbers of photo files. There are two things I do. First, I set the four digit file ID to LRC0, LRC1, LRC2 etc. incrementing the number when (or shortly after) the counter rolls over. I also have each photo shoot stored by date, in an organized directory tree. 2011a has directories 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106 2011b has 1107, 1108 ... 1112 Each time I go out shooting, I store the related photos in a directory named by date: 130412_marie, 130517_beach, 130517_MGBGT When I import them into lightroom, it prepends the date to the file, so a picture of the mgbgt would be photo/130517_MGBGT/1305/130517_LRC38754.PEF So, even if something happens and there are two files LRC09547.PEF (one from the K20, another from the K-5) when I search for them I can tell by the directories when I shot each one, and roughly what it is a photo of.

Re: File numbering info
I rename files at import using Lightroom. My renaming pattern for the
K-7 (which has less than 10,000 total shots so far) is:
{Date (MMDD)}-K7-0{Filename number suffix}
So, for example:
IMGP9942.dng - 20130511-K7-09942.dng
When the file number rolls over to 0001, I'll update the renaming
pattern with a 1 instead of a 0 before the Filename number
suffix.

Re: OT Photoshop CC spurs competitive market for Photoshop replacement
Some people are really upset by this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67Iw9q2X9cU On 5/7/2013 10:35 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: If you hadn't heard, Adobe announced a new Photoshop version, CC, and announced that henceforth you cannot purchase the former Creative Suite tools anymore: you must rent them. CC stands for Creative Cloud, and all the tools (except consumer, like Elements, and Lightroom I think) will be paid for by monthly or annual subscription. So if you're a photographer like me, you can have Photoshop alone for $19.95 a month. If you cancel your subscription -- poof! -- your copy of Photoshop no longer functions. The whole subscription pricing model makes sense and contains lots of benefits for fulltime professionals, but the rug has been pulled out from under amateurs, part-timers and hobbyists. We tend to buy an upgrade to Photoshop for $200 or so and then skip a version or two before doing that again, so Photoshop costs us about $100 a year or less. Now it will cost $240/year in perpetuity. This has just got to create a market for a decent Photographer's Photoshop Clone to appear. Something that supports 16-bits, RAW formats, full layers, and ideally Ps plugin support. Maybe the Gimpers will step up to the plate? At this point it appears the best choice would be to own CS6 and hold onto to it until it's no longer supported by your OS. Hopefully an alternative will appear by then.
