All taken with my K20D, DA* 55, DA* 16-50 & DA* 50-135.

The first three staff shots (wait, bar, kitchen) were lit with a used
$30 AF200T in an 18" softbox on a monopod, gelled 1/2 CTO, and wielded
by my able assistant (my wife). I precomputed the flash exposure
assuming a fixed rough distance to the subjects, then set the shutter
to let in ambient room light about two stops below the key. When WB
adjusted for the orange gel, the background goes a blue tint to give
it that cool look.

The west wing and patio shots are HDR, as you've likely guessed --
apologies in advance. I used Nik HDR Pro and it's pretty good, but I'm
not really an HDR kinda guy. I just figured these facilities shots
would benefit from that Marketing Imperative where Over The Top just
isn't good enough. :-)

Most of the dark club dancing and band shots were taken at ISO 3200.
In the past I dismissed that as useless on the K20D but they clean up
nicely with Nik Dfine, so I'm coming to rely on it now. (It even
removes colour banding well so I'm going to go back and revisit some
of my "lost" K100Ds shots.)

Re: Rumors were Pentax releasing 5 cameras this year..

[P.J. Alling]

Sensor availability, Pentax used a Kodak sensor in the 645D and Kodak 
spun that division off, on it's long slide into oblivion, Pentax may 
have a long term agreement with the successor company, which could be 
having difficulties producing a next generation chip without the great 
yellow mother as a backstop, or there may just be a general shortage of 
quality higher resolution medium format sensor chips.

I'm not entirely sure what was the point going from the K30 to the K50.

It does look like the K500 might be shaped the same as the K50.

Looking at the specs it says metering M&K lenses are Av only,
and only wide open.  I wonder what happened to the green button
in manual mode.


It sounds like they've regressed, but enabling the green button kludge 
would be a simple firmware update to correct.  I expect that will happen 
if there's enough yelling on the internet about it. However that won't 
happen until they start getting into enough users hands for the 
complaints to start rolling in.





Any guesses at what comes next?  645D  K-3 Full frame?  or APS-C 24mp.

I'm hoping for the K-3.  It would effectively nearly double the
number of lenses I have, by giving a lot of them wider fields of
view.

I've been holding off pulling the trigger on getting a K-5 II until
I know what is coming at the top of the line.  If my K-5 needs an
expensive repair, it may not be worth it on a body with 85,000 frames
on it.  CRIS seems to think that I might just have something stuck to the
magnets, and that would be fairly inexpensive to fix.

Meanshile, I'm keeping my eyes open for amazing deals on a K-5 II.
The best price on Amazon is from a place called davismax, at $788.
There don't seem to be a lot of screaming warnings about them either.

I'm also willing to consider a used K-5 or even a K-7 if it was
cheap enough.  I suppose that I should just send mine in and use
the K-x until I get word on the damage.


I'm not going to say I'm underwhelmed.  Pentax needed to
differentiate an actual entry level camera and the K-500 really
looks like it's an incredible bargain compared to the it's
competition, but while I don't think I need a 24mp DSLR, if everyone
else has one Pentax needs to have one too.

What Pentax needs most of all is for people to be able to
actually buy one, in a store.

Re: Rumors were Pentax releasing 5 cameras this year..

[Darren Addy]

Well we've already passed 5 for "this year" IF you count the WG-3,
WG-3 GPS, WG-10, MX-1, and now these three new models (Q-7, K-50,
K-500). I heard that a 645D II was in the works many moons ago, but it
hasn't shown up yet. I'm not sure what classification(s) of camera the
"5 new models" was supposed to represent. Given that they released a
new lens for the 645D at Photokina last year (the macro, right?) I
don't think they are finished with the 645 YET.

I still have to believe that a 24MP K-3 and K-3s are in the works
before the year is over. How long can you continue to release 16MP
sensor cameras? Sure, they seem to be a sweet spot, but even I'm
having trouble differentiating the models - what is a new shopper
going to think?

I'm not entirely sure what was the point going from the K30 to the K50.

It does look like the K500 might be shaped the same as the K50.

Looking at the specs it says metering M&K lenses are Av only, 
and only wide open.  I wonder what happened to the green button 
in manual mode.  

> 
> Any guesses at what comes next?  645D  K-3 Full frame?  or APS-C 24mp.

I'm hoping for the K-3.  It would effectively nearly double the 
number of lenses I have, by giving a lot of them wider fields of
view.  

I've been holding off pulling the trigger on getting a K-5 II until
I know what is coming at the top of the line.  If my K-5 needs an 
expensive repair, it may not be worth it on a body with 85,000 frames
on it.  CRIS seems to think that I might just have something stuck to the 
magnets, and that would be fairly inexpensive to fix.  

Meanshile, I'm keeping my eyes open for amazing deals on a K-5 II.  
The best price on Amazon is from a place called davismax, at $788. 
There don't seem to be a lot of screaming warnings about them either.

I'm also willing to consider a used K-5 or even a K-7 if it was 
cheap enough.  I suppose that I should just send mine in and use
the K-x until I get word on the damage.

What Pentax needs most of all is for people to be able to 
actually buy one, in a store.

[P.J. Alling]

We're up to three.  But the differences between the K-30, K-50 and K-500 
once you look past the body shell are subtle to say the least.  I guess 
Pentax is actually making money on the Q system.


Any guesses at what comes next?  645D  K-3 Full frame?  or APS-C 24mp.

I'm not going to say I'm underwhelmed.  Pentax needed to differentiate 
an actual entry level camera and the K-500 really looks like it's an 
incredible bargain compared to the it's competition, but while I don't 
think I need a 24mp DSLR, if everyone else has one Pentax needs to have 
one too.

GESO The Brawley

[Bruce Walker]

So I landed a paying gig last weekend. I was to document the opening
of a new club: show off the facilities, catch the opening night band,
dancing, drinking, and try to snap some of the staff too. Here's a
small set of 12 of the more interesting shots (of the 74 finals
delivered to The Brawley brass):

http://flic.kr/s/aHsjG1qjie   The Brawley Opening

All taken with my K20D, DA* 55, DA* 16-50 & DA* 50-135.

The first three staff shots (wait, bar, kitchen) were lit with a used
$30 AF200T in an 18" softbox on a monopod, gelled 1/2 CTO, and wielded
by my able assistant (my wife). I precomputed the flash exposure
assuming a fixed rough distance to the subjects, then set the shutter
to let in ambient room light about two stops below the key. When WB
adjusted for the orange gel, the background goes a blue tint to give
it that cool look.

The west wing and patio shots are HDR, as you've likely guessed --
apologies in advance. I used Nik HDR Pro and it's pretty good, but I'm
not really an HDR kinda guy. I just figured these facilities shots
would benefit from that Marketing Imperative where Over The Top just
isn't good enough. :-)

Most of the dark club dancing and band shots were taken at ISO 3200.
In the past I dismissed that as useless on the K20D but they clean up
nicely with Nik Dfine, so I'm coming to rely on it now. (It even
removes colour banding well so I'm going to go back and revisit some
of my "lost" K100Ds shots.)

Hi all,

At some point over the past few weeks, I apparently had a lucky
horseshoe kicked up my ass. Seems I won in a drawing for a laptop last

It's smaller than my main laptop, and thus, more convenient to carry
around with me. So, with that in mind, does anyone have any suggestions
with regard to presenting a portfolio on it? It's a Compaq 15.8", and
the display isn't exactly Retina-quality, I suspect. But I'd like to
have a way for someone to easily navigate through a relatively small
collection of my better work and make it look reasonably professional.
It would have to be stored locally, so I can show it when there may not
be an internet connection available. I like Picasa's picture viewer OK,
but wonder if there might be something better out there.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Our local costco carries it.  
Zab picked up a flat of it before the party this weekend.

There are a few bottles left, even though I shared.

Re: Bracketing on the K5

[Brian Walters]

Quoting Rob Studdert :


Hi Team,

I got caught out when shooting some panos recently, bracketing in
manual mode my camera would default to bracketing Tv so the aperture
would change to bracket which made stacking images a little more
problematic than I would have liked.

Just in case you were not aware the remedy to change the bracketing to
Av lies in the "green button" setting of the E-dial programming
whether you have the "green button" active or not. To change it go to
the E-Dial Programming menu for manual and select "TvShift". I found
the solution on-line, the manual was next to useless.




Well, at least Pentax supply a hard copy manual.  The Lumix that I  
recently bought for my wife came with a 'Quick Guide' which didn't go  
much further than how to insert the battery (I know where I would have  
liked to insert it on the person who designed the guide, but I  
digress).  The full manual only came on a pdf.


Thanks for the tip on manual bracketing.  I normally fire off a  
sequence of images in manual mode, change the shutter speed and fire  
off another one or two more sequences.  Obviously bracketing would be  
quicker.

Slight change to PUG schedule

[Brian Walters]

G'day all

I'm a bit behind in my PUGgery due to my recent 6 week roadtrip in the USA.

The original PUG schedule for 2013 had a special, extra Open Gallery  
planned for June.  I've moved that back a month to July.


So far there are two submissions for the special Open Gallery (from

The Coca-Cola that I buy from my local Mexican Supermarket

OT: Another windfall/enablement

[Walt]

Hi all,

At some point over the past few weeks, I apparently had a lucky 
horseshoe kicked up my ass. Seems I won in a drawing for a laptop last 
week -- nothing special to be sure, but hey -- FREE!


It's smaller than my main laptop, and thus, more convenient to carry 
around with me. So, with that in mind, does anyone have any suggestions 
with regard to presenting a portfolio on it? It's a Compaq 15.8", and 
the display isn't exactly Retina-quality, I suspect. But I'd like to 
have a way for someone to easily navigate through a relatively small 
collection of my better work and make it look reasonably professional. 
It would have to be stored locally, so I can show it when there may not 
be an internet connection available. I like Picasa's picture viewer OK, 
but wonder if there might be something better out there.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Walt

That would be my "quick and dirty" solution: Just make the

"wide disbursal" Hah!

I don't think that was what you meant, although it is probably

From: "P.J. Alling"

All things are ephemeral, the only way to insure longevity is multiple
copies, and wide disbursal.

I do have the unsorted copies of the raw files, that get backed up on initial

Yes it's crooked and that sounds like the sensor auto cleaning or what
it sounded like on the K-20.
When friends start dropping from heart attacks it might be time to
give up 60 hour weeks.

Re: K-5 crooked sensor

All things are ephemeral, the only way to insure longevity is multiple

Re: K-5 crooked sensor

[Larry Colen]

I forgot to mention that when I went to read the photos of the sensor test,
lightroom would not write them to disk. Something seems to have gone wrong, 
this evening, with the disk that I'm writing my recent files to.
Meanwhile, my "other system" the one that I back up my sorted photo files to, 
is off at a friend's house, waiting for him to have the time to set up the raid,
install CentOS, and set up apple networking so it can work as a NAS.
I do have the unsorted copies of the raw files, that get backed up on initial
read, and the disk seems to still be readable, but I'm not feeling very 
comfortable about my files right now.

K-5 crooked sensor

[Larry Colen]

In the recent past I had noticed two seemingly unrelated quirks with my K-5.
Under certain circumstances, it would make a strange rhythmic thumping.

I had also noticed that some of my photos recently didn't seem to be coming out 
the way I thought I had framed them.

I did a quick test, lining my camera up on a level, with auto horizon off, 
and sure enough, the pictures were coming out crooked.  

I set it on clean sensor mode to look at the sensor, and not only was the 
sensor crooked but it was making a rhythmic thumping.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq9RVaW_A_c

But, other than this, 60ish hour weeks at the office as we approach deadline, 
and someone who has been a friend for about twenty years, someone a couple
years younger than me, dropping dead from a heart attack last week, things
are going Ok.

a DVD doesn't take full advantage of 1080p

i would opt to bring a computer if possible, and compose the slideshow in 
whatever app you work with most (LR, Aperture, iPhoto); make sure you have the 
adapters needed


do you need a tech rehearsal for the rehearsal dinner?

maybe burn a DVD as a backup; in a pinch a quick fix would be to create copies 
of your portrait images that are in landscape format with bars on each side; 
quick work if you have a prepared background and just copy the image and paste 
it centered into the background (could even be automated)
