Nice natural portrait.  I like how you framed him among the leaves.

Our "pet" bellbird has been hanging around here quite a lot in recent weeks.  
He's very distracting but in a good way.  Haven't done much about trying to get 
more photos as he moves around a lot and the light is pretty bad at this time 
of year.

Cheers,
Dave

Damn, how close are you getting to these birds?  Every time I raise my 
camera to my eye at a distance where a reasonable focal length lens is 
effective, they panic and think I'm going to shoot the based on how fast 
they disappear.

The one thing I'd add to your blather is that sometimes it's better to
NOT zoom in -- anything except a DSLR-like with a constant aperture lens
will stop down as you zoom in, so sometimes the best way to handle
low-light situations is to crop later.

P.J. - you are are revealed as a deprived youngster! No paper tape?!?
After a one-semester exposure to programming an IBM 1486 (IIRC) Accounting 
Machine with a big honking 15lb board that was pulled out one end so that 
jumper connections could be made to instruct the machine to tabulate, multiply 
etc., I mostly used punch cards. But I did have one year with a GE-teletype 
system that used paper tape. And of course the Commodore C-64 used cassette 
tape. Then came floppy discs. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I 
started using 3 1/4 discs! Thank you Steve Jobs!

At one point, one of the guys in our computer lab (a draftee FWIW, a Radar-type 
person) had written an OS for our CDC 3300 that allowed fore-ground/back-ground 
dual processing. He modified our Fortran compiler so that it would properly 
interact with his OS. I wrote Fortran code to manage the I/O & data capture 
to/from terminals that were used by subjects in my experiments. To debug my 
programs, I had to interpret the core dump hex code to find which registers 
were in what state at the time of the crash. Fun times!

Yeah, the camera market is depressing; but if Pentax invented the most 
irresistibly whiz-bang, multi-colored, techno-fantastic camera ever, it 
wouldn't sell because they would forget to tell anybody they'd done it.

Sony A-850
50mm f/1.7

Despite out best efforts it seems Dario and I won't be able to meet up
during this trip. It's very frustrating to travel so far and get so
close and yet be unable to meet one of those PDMLers I've always
wanted to meet. Also, I won't be able to attend the World Superbike
Championship race taking place at Imola – less than 100 miles away.
Doubly frustrating. So I'll try to make up for it by getting some good
photographs.

We're doing a week of hiking around Cinque Terra and then a week of
hiking in the Dolomites. Should be good, eh? I think we'll have
Internet almost everywhere we go so I'll send a few posts.

Re: OT Planes, in the south of England 1944

[John Sessoms]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_goat#Leader_bombers

... and a Piper Cub story. I cannot verify the veracity, but it was told
to me by one of my college room-mates about his father. Sort of a second
hand, "No shit, there I was" war story.

At the end of the war in Europe his father was an artillery spotter
pilot flying an Army Piper Cub. During one of his missions he
encountered an Me262. The Me262 tried to engage him but could not slow
down enough to get a good firing solution because my room-mates father
could evade with sharp turns & steep climbs the Me262 couldn't match at
its higher speed.

The Me262 pilot was apparently one of those do or die types who just
won't give up ... and eventually crashed when he ran out of fuel. And
the Army, in its infinite wisdom, allowed my room-mate's father to claim
the Me262 as a "kill".

If it's not a true story, it ought to be.

Re: K100d

[John Sessoms]

From: "P.J. Alling"

The sad thing is digital cameras are disposable.  Unlike film cameras
 that if you can find film to feed them will last, (effectively),
forever.


Finding film ain't gonna' be no problem. I just look in my refrigerator
& there's enough to last the rest of my lifetime. I'd really like to get
some of it out of there to make room for food.

I'm not so sanguine about where I'm going to get E-6 & sheet film
processed in days to come. There's still a good pro lab I can use here
in Raleigh, but the depressing truth is I'm afraid some day I'll go in
there and they'll tell me they no longer process film.

And if nothing else, I can take 35mm C-41 & E-6 to Walgreens for now. As
long as I want to cross process the E-6, their machine operators would
probably never notice the difference.

Re: Pathetic. That's what it is, pathetic

[John Sessoms]

From: "P.J. Alling"

B&H advertises what sells, and Pentax doesn't have a camera in the top
10.  It's hard to build a top 10 camera position when you don't have an
entry level offering, and Pentax hasn't had a true entry level DSLR,
since the *ist-Dl, (that may change with the K-500).

They started their line in the low mid range and by perception the K10D
- K-5 II/s cameras were in the top mid range. None of those are top 10
sellers.

The K-01 was a misstep, on the international camera market, (squarely
aimed at a demographic in Japan that may or may not have been impressed).

Maybe the entry level K-500 with semi pro features and pro results will
begin to get some new momentum for Pentax.


I'm not very impressed that their lens offerings are going to help that
much.


Something else that would help might be a re-branding of the Ricoh line
as Ricoh/Pentax, and though it doesn't look like it will happen, (in
fact I think that unfortunately it will go away), they should build an
A12 module or maybe a new A16 module that accepts K mount lenses for the
GRX.  Done properly it would be a less bulky combination than a K-01 and
would make a certain amount of sense, and have tradition behind it as
Ricoh used to make some very nice K mount film cameras.

Then they have to actually show a Full Frame K mount camera, even if
it's just a mock up.



Just showing a mock-up won't do it. They're going to actually have to
have a firm commitment that the camera will be available for purchase by
a date certain. And that date can't be too far in the future.

If they announce it tomorrow to be available within a year from today,
it would still be too late.



Somewhere in there Pentax needs to update the 645D, with a 60mp sensor,
(or give it more SLR like handling characteristics, higher frame rate
etc., to compete with the Full Frame Canikon DSLRs, which seems just
stupid to me, so I'm guessing that's the way Pentax will go), and
actually announce some new lenses or it will become like the K-01 a dead
end and resource sink.


Jeez, that was a long screed, Finally Pentax/Ricoh, has to somehow get
back into the public's perception that they actually still exist and
make cameras.  I've had a number of photographer's be astounded that
Pentax still exists.

They need to fire their advertising agency and hire almost anyone else,
and somehow get into both the remaining local camera stores, which will
be difficult, (they did a presentation lately for Milford Camera to try
to get back on their shelves, but the store passed.  The owner/manager
candidly told me that they already have Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji, and
Sony and yes even carries a Vivitar film SLR, it would require extra
training for very little gain to bring Pentax back).  Pentax needs to
get K-500 Kits into WalMart, Sears, and Best Buy, next to the Nikon
D3100 and Canon Rebels kits, which will be another difficult sell.
Pentax/Ricoh has to be committed to this, it's a big task, Pentax rested
on their laurels so long that they actually turned to dust


Changing advertising agencies is not going to help if they can't get
cameras into the stores where people can actually touch them. I know
Sears & Walmart both "carry" Pentax, but they don't carry them IN THE
STORE. You can order them on-line to be shipped to a store near you, but
you can't walk into a store and buy one.

I did notice in my quick Sears/Walmart/Best Buy search that they're all
pushing the K-30 real hard. Best Buy does have a K-5II kit for sale if
you scroll down the page far enough. Didn't see it offered by the other
two, but that could be because I didn't scroll down enough. Sears
appeared to offer the best selection with the MX, Q-10 and X-5 along
with K-30. Walmart leads with a GOLD K-30.

I probably should have just skipped this thread. It depresses me so damn
much.

Re: PESO Muruga's lunch / first K-5II pic

[P.J. Alling]

Actually I used to subscribe to USENET newsgroups at the first company I 
worked for that had a direct internet connection, (they also had their 
own trunk line from the East Coast to California, you could trace email 
paths from my cube in Connecticut to friends at various Universities on 
the East Coast, from our office server it would go to our server in 
California almost instantaneously, then spent the next couple of hours 
to a day or so wending it's way back to the East Coast through various 
servers.  I don't think I ever used paper tape, and never saw a punch 
card after graduate school.  Though I did work with 75 baud 
communications, you could read the octal on a protocol analyzer in real 
time.  It's a skill I'm glad I've lost.

I was never much of a computer geek, but I did learn to write dial up and 
log-in threads on my Apple //c with AE Express. I started delivering digital 
docs to Popular Mechanics in the early eighties and spent time on some user 
group servers. I remember one group that was based in Jersey called Washington 
Apple Tree. Another was the Micronetworked Apple Users Group or MAUG. I think 
MAUG eventually evolved into Compuserve.

De gustibus strikes again!  My primary really dislikes zir FZ-35, partly
because of the poor low-light performance, partly because some modes
won't shoot RAW, but mostly because the interface is clumsy (which I
agree with after trying some moon shots).  It does take nice shots within
its limitations.

We're probably getting the Fuji X-S1 to replace it.

If you (or anyone else, which is why I'm cc'ing the list) would be
interested in the FZ-35, please e-mail me privately and I'll let you
know when it's available.  A proposed price would be welcome.

(Wouldn't normally advertize it here, but other people brought it up...)

Re: K100d

Yeah, that would be annoying. My k-7 has started showing a vertical

behind the AA filter. it shows up at nearly all apertures. Thankfully
it is near the upper left corner and not in the middle. Oh and the
seal around my shutter button is failing. It sometimes gets water in
the shutter and on/off switch. After a day it will dry out. It took 2
hours of sitting on a tripod in a severe downpour for that to happen
the other day. The half press is wonky so I moved the AF to the back
button. About a year or so ago I spilled some coffee on the shutter
button. I tried to get the stickiness out of the switch, but I'm
guessing the contact cleaner I used probably ate into the weather
sealing. Its no longer sticky at least. The cost to service it would
be probably 3-400. I could buy a virtually new k-7 for that much,
though I am rather fond of that camera and how abused and used it
looks now. I guess I'll keep shooting with it until it totally dies or
becomes unusable.

I wish this was just dust spots. This is a clump of about 150 bad pixels
(if you blow it up enough in PhotoShop you can count them). If I shoot a
dark frame with the lens cap on, the spot can be seen in image review on
the LCD.

In light areas of an image they show up as a hard black dot. In dark
areas of an image, they show up as a hard bright white dot. I can
usually zoom in tight in ACR & take it out with the spot healing tool.

Occasionally it's accompanied by a red line one pixel high across the
width of the image. When the line is there, it's one row higher to the
right of the dot than it is on the left.

If the line is there, it won't come out with the spot healing tool in
ACR. It has to be removed in PhotoShop itself, and it's a PITA.

Still, as you say "annoying for sure, but not enough for me to replace
the camera"

Re: Pathetic. That's what it is, pathetic.

[P.J. Alling]

B&H advertises what sells, and Pentax doesn't have a camera in the top 
10.  It's hard to build a top 10 camera position when you don't have an 
entry level offering, and Pentax hasn't had a true entry level DSLR, 
since the *ist-Dl, (that may change with the K-500).


They started their line in the low mid range and by perception the K10D 
- K-5 II/s cameras were in the top mid range. None of those are top 10 
sellers.


The K-01 was a misstep, on the international camera market, (squarely 
aimed at a demographic in Japan that may or may not have been impressed).


Maybe the entry level K-500 with semi pro features and pro results will 
begin to get some new momentum for Pentax.


Something else that would help might be a re-branding of the Ricoh line 
as Ricoh/Pentax, and though it doesn't look like it will happen, (in 
fact I think that unfortunately it will go away), they should build an 
A12 module or maybe a new A16 module that accepts K mount lenses for the 
GRX.  Done properly it would be a less bulky combination than a K-01 and 
would make a certain amount of sense, and have tradition behind it as 
Ricoh used to make some very nice K mount film cameras.


Then they have to actually show a Full Frame K mount camera, even if 
it's just a mock up.


Somewhere in there Pentax needs to update the 645D, with a 60mp sensor, 
(or give it more SLR like handling characteristics, higher frame rate 
etc., to compete with the Full Frame Canikon DSLRs, which seems just 
stupid to me, so I'm guessing that's the way Pentax will go), and 
actually announce some new lenses or it will become like the K-01 a dead 
end and resource sink.



Jeez, that was a long screed, Finally Pentax/Ricoh, has to somehow get 
back into the public's perception that they actually still exist and 
make cameras.  I've had a number of photographer's be astounded that 
Pentax still exists.


They need to fire their advertising agency and hire almost anyone else, 
and somehow get into both the remaining local camera stores, which will 
be difficult, (they did a presentation lately for Milford Camera to try 
to get back on their shelves, but the store passed.  The owner/manager 
candidly told me that they already have Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji, and 
Sony and yes even carries a Vivitar film SLR, it would require extra 
training for very little gain to bring Pentax back).  Pentax needs to 
get K-500 Kits into WalMart, Sears, and Best Buy, next to the Nikon 
D3100 and Canon Rebels kits, which will be another difficult sell.  
Pentax/Ricoh has to be committed to this, it's a big task, Pentax rested 
on their laurels so long that they actually turned to dust

...to quote Eeyore.*

I was just leafing through the latest Shutterbug.  B&H has 14 pages of 
advertising.

In that 14 pages, there is 1/10 of a page devoted to Pentax, and it consists of 
a list of lenses, without prices.

In 1 1/2 pages of mirrorless cameras, no Pentax.

Canon and Nikon each have a full page of SLRs, lenses, and accessories.  No 
Pentax. (K-5II? K-5-IIs? What are they?)

It =still= doesn't seem to have dawned on Pentax USA that if they are going to 
sell cameras, they have to let somebody know that the cameras exist!

Meanwhile, if one goes to www.pentaxian.com, one sees Godders and colleagues 
extolling the virtues of the K10D.

Oy.

Probably the best superzoom ever. IQ at ISO 100-200 is not bad.
Especially if you shoot RAW. The Panny JPEG engine is well known for
turning photographs into watercolors. At 400 it starts to creep in
pretty good, but you can still get images suitable for smaller prints.
The lens on the fz-28/fz-35 is sharpest around f4 and is very usable
wide open, which is f2.8 at the wide end. Diffraction starts kicking
in at f5 anyways, so you have a fairly limited fstop range to work
with to begin with. Much like the Q. The image stabilization on those
cameras is really, really good too. How many sharp shots can you get
with your pentax at 1/20s @ 500mm? I carried one of these cameras
everywhere for a few years and they served me rather well. The video
off the fz-35 was quite decent in good light too. Only 720p though.

Re: K100d

[Zos Xavius]

Yeah, that would be annoying. My k-7 has started showing a vertical
green line. Glad I'm not alone in the sensor failing dept. I mapped
the pixels and it hasn't shown up since, but I'm sure it will
eventually on some random irreplaceable shot. The dust i have is
behind the AA filter. it shows up at nearly all apertures. Thankfully
it is near the upper left corner and not in the middle. Oh and the
seal around my shutter button is failing. It sometimes gets water in
the shutter and on/off switch. After a day it will dry out. It took 2
hours of sitting on a tripod in a severe downpour for that to happen
the other day. The half press is wonky so I moved the AF to the back
button. About a year or so ago I spilled some coffee on the shutter
button. I tried to get the stickiness out of the switch, but I'm
guessing the contact cleaner I used probably ate into the weather
sealing. Its no longer sticky at least. The cost to service it would
be probably 3-400. I could buy a virtually new k-7 for that much,
though I am rather fond of that camera and how abused and used it
looks now. I guess I'll keep shooting with it until it totally dies or
becomes unusable.

Fuji has a 56/1.2 in the works for the X-Mount, apparently slated for 
release early next year.. I suspect it will be in the $1500.00 range, 
Fuji glass is quite expensive. It is one of the three lenses I want for 
my X-Pro1.

Our trip was arranged by a package tour company and they've already

Re: 50 gigabytes and an airline ticket

I was there 3 weeks ago and as John says parts of the coastal path are
closed due to landslides, and the middle village  -Corniglia - was
inaccessible from land; we couldn' tget there in at all.

+1 for the gelatos at Manorola too... :-)

You'll certainly have better weather than us - it was cold and wet
when we were there...

Re: K100d

[John Sessoms]

From: Zos Xavius

My k-7 has two permanent dust spots. They are annoying for sure, but
not enough for me to replace the camera just yet.


I wish this was just dust spots. This is a clump of about 150 bad pixels
(if you blow it up enough in PhotoShop you can count them). If I shoot a
dark frame with the lens cap on, the spot can be seen in image review on
the LCD.

In light areas of an image they show up as a hard black dot. In dark
areas of an image, they show up as a hard bright white dot. I can
usually zoom in tight in ACR & take it out with the spot healing tool.

Occasionally it's accompanied by a red line one pixel high across the
width of the image. When the line is there, it's one row higher to the
right of the dot than it is on the left.

If the line is there, it won't come out with the spot healing tool in
ACR. It has to be removed in PhotoShop itself, and it's a PITA.

Still, as you say "annoying for sure, but not enough for me to replace
the camera"

Re: PESO - Female Red Wing Blackbird

Bird nicely shot, crisp and sharp--that bit of green at the bottom is a tad 
distracting--but that's a minor nit.  Overall, nicely done.  Cheers, Christine

Thanks, Dan. At this point, with this group, I'm hesitant to share my images.

Yeah, and like in that area in New Hampshire, there is a lot of rock climbing

But why "former"?

Sorry, should made that clear. It's the New River Gorge in East Virginia. It's 
the biggest and best know of  three nationally designated rivers in the area. 
Probably the most challenging whitewater river East of the Mississippi. And in 
the nation for that matter.

That's a fascinating set, very interesting indeed. The bases are very flat, so 
they're probably in the East of England - Norfolk, Lincolnshire or

RE: OT Planes, in the south of England 1944

[John Coyle]

I'm probably wrong, but in some of the shots of the buildings there are two 
very large hangars which remind me of those at RAF Cardington, in Bedfordshire, 
which was the base for the airship program in the 1920's and '30's.  On page 5 
there is a colour image taken from the air which shows the base and the hangars 
very well.
It was 53 years ago, of course, that I was there, and then only for two days - 
that's my excuse if I'm wrong!

This is a set of over 300 35mm, black and white negatives found in a basement 
of an “antique” mall in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Strips of 3 to 6 are in glassine sleeves bound in two books designed for the 
purpose of preserving negatives. Contact prints are taped to each sleeve 
designating the contents. The labels here are as shown in these notes.

The first three pages of each book is an index with identification of each 
strip of negative, most with notations of f-stop and shutter speed, filters and 
light conditions.

They were apparently taken in England.

Many of the shots are of military aircraft, some crashed. There are a few shots 
of London Sights and a few shots of personnel.

Though the camera man took careful notes on subject, lighting f-stop and 
shutter speed, there are no dates. There are a few shots of London mixed with 
shots of the base so it can be guessed that the photographer was stationed in 
the south of England.

Some air experts will recognize the planes and serial numbers and the base will 
eventually be identified, I’m sure.

To review all of these in a slightly faster method, there is a double slide 
show on the LOST GALLERY page.

I have added the three actual index pages as entered by the photographer in 
case I missed something.

All photographs are the property of Lost Gallery. Any of the photographs can be 
used on other web sites but a link back to the original here must be included
