Re: Question re K-5ii controls
Quoting Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info: Brian, your mention of LiveView sent me back on my hunt. I am trying here for three outcomes. I want auto exposure bracketing, I want to use my remote to avoid camera movement, and I want mirror-up to minimize any mirror-slap issues. I may have found the right combination. Whether in LV or not: - in the Mode menu, first select Remote/3-sec-delay. - then select Exp Bracketing/use-remote - Menu C page #2 Option #9, choose 2=one-shot brcketing. I think this combination works. I can't be sure, but from the sounds I am hearing and those I don't hear, I think I've got it. I'm not sure about that. I tried it with a 3-frame bracket with the K-5 while looking through the viewfinder - the finder view blacked out as the mirror locked up but then appeared after the first exposure, blacked out again, re-appeared after the second exposure, blacked out again and reappeared after the third exposure. This must mean that the mirror is moving between exposures. The problem is that the 3 sec delay only occurs at the start of the sequence and not between exposures. One method that does seem to work is to: * In the mode menu set Self Timer - 2 sec delay * Then select Exp Bracketing/self timer. In this case you get a 2 sec delay between exposures, which might not be the ideal length of time for mirror lock up but it's better than none. Of course, you can't use an IR remote with this method but a wired remote works. -- 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.

Interesting to me, anyway. I was just listening to the most recent episode of PhotoNetCast (#82) and heard something I haven't heard before.

Re: Lion Kill for Bob
Lone buffaloes are usually bulls which are formidable targets even for a pride of lions. Their favourite prey are wildebeest, zebra, small giraffe warthog for snacks. Lions can not easily catch fleet footed antelope, leaving them for the leopards, cheetahs wild dogs. BTW, that is the only kill I have ever witnessed although we often have found prides eating at a kill by following the vultures.

Re: PESO: Four Wheel Drive Hummer
Thank you, Frank! Strange thing is, I thought the truck in the background kind of added a contrasting element to the image. I can easily see where others might see it differently, though. Thanks for the input, in any event. I got several shots without anything like that in the background, but I haven't worked on them yet. I'll go through them to see if there's something that might be more along your lines and share them if I come up with anything good. :) -- Walt On 9/28/2013 10:26 PM, knarf wrote: Very good shot but a real shame about that pickup in the background.

The line between obsolete but very usable and dead and buried is very clear cut with FourThirds SLR lenses, unlike the ones you mention above. Because these lenses rely upon the mount to power the focusing mechanism as well as do aperture control, without a camera that supports the mount features for power and aperture control, the lenses are dead and buried. Micro-FourThirds camera bodies have been specifically designed to support the FourThirds lens protocol so NONE of the SLR lenses are dead and buried. They may be obsolete, but they are very usable. Without a good enough AF, u4/3 cameras weren't really an alternative. I disagree on at least two counts: - All Olympus mFT cameras have provided AF with FourThirds SLR lenses that has been good enough for some purposes. - Even if some lenses couldn't be used with AF at all (for instance, my Panasonic G1 and the Olympus 35 Macro), the lens was still perfectly usable for my needs. Both of these things say obsolete but very usable to me. mFT cameras have been a very useful alternative to my FT SLRs since 2008 when they were first released.

It's time to celebrate! ];-) It's all good, as long as you WANT to migrate to micro4/3 ;-) I don't want to migrate to anything, nor do I need to. I want a high quality FourThirds format camera that can use my existing lenses. I've been using the Olympus E-1 since some time in 2008 for that purpose, I also used the G1, L1, and E-5 from 2007 to 2011, and now I'll use the E-M1 for that purpose. The E-M1 has a better sensor, better viewfinder, image stabilization, better AF, and a host of other improvements over the E-1 (and the others). I'm using the same lenses, and have a better body to work with now. Haven't migrated to anything, I'm still within the same system. Only thing that's changed is that I need an adapter, supplied by the camera manufacturer, to mount my lenses on the newer body. Big deal. They're even giving it to me for free via a rebate program. But we took quite a detour from where we started - which was that the youngest, designed for digital SLR mount couldn't survive - yet dinosaurs like K and F did. I don't know where you started exactly... But so far the FourThirds SLR mount is surviving quite nicely, through seamless adaptation to its Micro-FourThirds successor. Never mind the many users still quite happy with their FourThirds SLR cameras. The M-mount, which was the subject of Larry's original design thought, is an even older dinosaur than either K or F, and of course it is still thriving nicely with only one minor addition (a reader to inform the body about which lens is fitted) to enable some new capabilities on the digital bodies. In fact the M-mount's predecessor, Leica Threaded Mount, is also still surviving nicely as its successor was also designed for seamless adaptation of LTM lenses. The K and F dinosaurs continue to survive albeit with some significant compromises in capability depending on the specific generations of lens and body combinations that you are using.

Re: SoftClousCurrents
Easy for me to claim, I know, but I didn't put it up to work. I noticed some very faint cloud fan veins and wondered if I could get a shot of them. I set a couple clicks of minus comp, so I could see something on the monitor. I was encouraged, so worked it a bit in PSE. The tree top and cloud were not even a consideration, I was enamored with the faint currents and delicate ripples I was able to pull out. I failed to mention earlier that I first converted it to BW. I knew it was going to be a head shaking wonderment to most, but would possibly be meaningful to some. I, also realized you had to be there to have much of a chance of getting what I was up to.

Various Google and Ad-server scripts are the main culprits and the only way out is to keep hitting the reload button until the system clears.

Re: OT: Rush
Just back from the film. Terrific, best GP/Formula 1 film since Grand Prix in '66. I was there the year Lord Alexander Hesketh brought the team to Watkins Glen (1974). Even met all the big shots (quite by accident) at his party in the big truck. The film brought back memories. :-) G -- 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.

That's what I meant, it's the Javascript that loads those missing images as you scroll. I've seen a few sites do this, it's a variation of the infinite-scrolling that you see on sites like Facebook or Google Images where they dynamically load more content when you get near the bottom of the page.

Re: PESO. The Fall.
Jack, Bruce, Attila and Ann, Thank you all for your visits and comments. Ironically, this was an unintended / unplanned shoot towards the end of my weekly, almost meditational macrophotography escape... The rest of my images (of other things) lacked spontaneity and charm. Not surprising, I guess!
