Re: Camera purchase advise

[Bob Sullivan]

Dan,
I've never seen/experienced any moire with the K-5IIs.
I've never seen or used a K-5II.
The K-3 is a tad sharper and better at autofocus, but only a tad.
K-5IIs is not my backup camera to the K-3, but I don't hesitate to reach for it.
...Remember, you can't take it with you.
Regards,  Bob S.

Re: GESO - Behind the scenes of Styles of The High Priestess

[Bruce Walker]

Thanks, Christine!

Alyssa, the stylist, wants to shoot again and I'll suggest changing up
the lighting next time. Also going to allow more time overall. Hair
and makeup left us with less than two hours to shoot so we couldn't
try all the ideas we had.

GESO -- "Eastwick"

[P.J. Alling]

The "Witches of Eastwick" was set in a fictionalized version of the 
Village of Wickford.  Before getting to Newport I spent about an hour 
there and came away with a few photos.  For a while after the book and 
subsequent "Obligatory God Awful"(tm) movie was released Wickford was 
over run with New Age and Witch related retailers. That tide seems to be 
receding reviling the New England Kitsch hiding underneath.


So here's a mini GESO (very mini).

Sea Monster orders lunch.  At least I assume it's supposed to be a sea 
monster.


https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20smol.html

Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/smc Pentax FA 20-35mm f4.0.

Today's Catch. (The hazards of using multi point autofocus in auto 
select mode, but I thought it was cute).

The Girl in the corner. (Who was she, a sailors dream or a real woman

Alas - Google wont open it... (google chrome now my default browser) it 
gives me a warning that it can't give me a secure connection... this 
also happened to me trying to get onto Twitter.  I was able to see it

by cutting and pasting into firefox.

Re: PDML Photo Annual 2014 - NOW AVAILABLE

[Dario Bonazza]

Received mine (image wrap) today, shipped on 19th from Eindhoven. Two days 
are typical delivery time from the Netherlands to Italy.
Really great work, as expected. Excellent photos and excellent management of 
that good stuff. I like the design of this edition and rank it among the 
very best ever.
I also like each edition has its own flavour, while keeping the size and 
format of the book over the years. Very well done and thanks everybody!

Lens purchase advice

[Daniel J. Matyola]

OK, if I do acquire a "new to me" K-5II or IIs, I should get a good
fixed focal length lens to go with it.  Currently, I use the 18-135
zoom, the 100mm f2.8 macro and the DA 50mm f1.8 with my K-r.

I was looking at the 21mm f3.2 DA AL Limited, the 35mm f2.8 macro
limited and the  40mm f2.8 DA limited.  Which have people here found
the most useful and versatile?  Which (if any) do you prefer for image
quality?

I am concerned that the 40 might be too close to the 50 I use now.  Is
it significantly better in image quality?

I have the 100 macro;  will the 35 macro allow me to do things I can't
with the 100?  I know the 35 limited is a lot more modern, but I
really have no complaints about the 100 macro, aside from the shaky
hand behind the lens.

Any thoughts and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

FWIW Google Chrome on my Mac loaded your link just peachy.  I don't know what 
was being complained about on Ann's machine.

She could have some sorta malware interfering with the https connection (Not 
sure why it needs to be https for people to view a simple image link, but...) 
also - it could be some sorta SSL-negotiation issues related to the latest 
problems with.. with.. oh, what was that OpenSSL bug from last month that I've 
already forgotten about?

Re: Lens purchase advice

[P.J. Alling]

When I travel light, I like to carry the 43mm limited.  I've can't 
imagin using the 40mm instead, but it is quite a bit more expensive 
these days.  On aps-c shorter focal lengths and I guess that 40 and 50mm 
lenses qualify.  On 35mm film there seems to be almost no difference, 
unless you take the photo from exactly the same spot and do a side by 
side comparison, but on aps-c sensors those lenses have a very different 
"feel" to them.


I really can't talk too much about Macro, the only Macro lens I have is 
the Vivitar S1 90-180mm not a lens to use in tight working spaces.


The 21mm is a kind of funny lens, it's not wide enough for my tastes, 
(~e-32), or general general purpose enough, like say a 24mm (~e35mm).  
Which is strange, when I was a starving student I carried a MX and for a 
wide I used a Vivitar 28mm f2.8, not the best lens in creation, but it 
did the job, then later acquired a Pentax [K] 30mm f2.8 which I used 
until I bought a K 24mm f2.8 and a M 35mm f2.0 which I used on both MX 
and LX cameras, after which the 30mm languished, thought it was a lovely 
lens that made nice sharp photos I just didn't find myself using the 
focal length much.  I use it (e-30mm)a lot more now, but the 20-35mm is 
the shortest rectilinear focal lenght lens I currently own.

Re: of Google, dropbox and PEsos

[P.J. Alling]

That's just the way dropbox works, it's designed for secure file 
sharing, and photo sharing was just an after thought.  But it works well 
and lets me use any display method for my photos, or their own built in 
gallery software if I so desire.  I like having control and it's

She could have some sorta malware interfering with the https connection (Not

also - it could be some sorta SSL-negotiation issues related to the latest

Dan,

I love the 21mm Limited ... it was my first fixed focal length AF lens 
for my ole K7,
chosen to gain focus speed in family grab shots .. it's pouch hangs from 
my camera strap
most of the time so I don't forget it.  Wide enough that I don't have to 
be so careful

If i go just prime on a walk,i usually take my DA F 50 f2.8 and the FA
100 f2.8 macro. Now that i have them dialed into my K-5 i get great
results.

I have to say my recent Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.0 is also working out quite well.

Re: Lens purchase advice

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Once I bought the FA43/1.9 Limited, I sold my FA 50/1.4, FA 28/2.8, and FA 
35/2. The DA21 and FA 43 plus one longer focal length (FA 77 or D-FA 100) is a 
near perfect kit.

PESO -- Fire Fighter.

[P.J. Alling]

Sometimes when you're walking along you see a display in a shop window 
and have to think; "What the hell were they thinking?"


Well I don't have to know that, I only record them.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20firefighter.html

Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/smc Pentax FA 43mm f1.9 Limited.

Notes:  The lighting on this was pretty troubling making what was a 
surreal image even more bizarre.  So I converted it to B&W using the 
DXOMark filmpack, Tri-X 400, green filter, sepia tone.


As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Re: of Google, dropbox and PEsos

[Ann Sanfedele]

P.J. - Firefox is NOT giving me any trouble viewing your stuff, or 
anyones , on dropbox -- and I love thunderbird.  firefox loads 
everything I want it to, it is just slow loading stuff on photo.net.

but... firefox fails me when playing words with friends on facebook..
(nevermind why, but I have at least 10 games going all the time and
aside from TV that is my major entertainment and friend time)

I appreciate that PAle Moon might be nicer but it was annoying enough 
just going from one version of firefox to the latest one because they 
moved things around on the tool bar.  It isn't just firefox, of course,

it's everywhere..  it isn't making me quite as nuts as it is John but
close, close.

Re: of Google, dropbox and PEsos

[John]

There should be some way to tell Google Chrome to "shut-up, I know what
I'm doing" with regards to dropbox.

Google has been getting on my nerves a lot lately. It's becoming way to
intrusive and interfering with me doing what I want to do.

I've quit using Google as my search engine because instead of showing me
what I'm looking for, Google shows what Google wants to sell me. They've
screwed up YouTube and I'm still trying to figure out how to remove
everything from Google+ so that I will only have a blank page there.

Important! Re: PDML annual - MUST READ ! LOOK!

[Ann Sanfedele]

Did I get your attention?
Here is the story  - I seem to be unable to buy the book for myself -
One of youse guys write me immediately to proclaim that the book was in 
the mail just after I said I was about to get the ebook. He's a close 
friend and I knew the present wouldn't break him so I was happy to

read that I'd was getting it. The fancy one, to boot!  sheesh, I don't
deserve it but happy..

TWO arrived today  (and look great!) TWO??? yup, after checking that
my friend had not accidentally clicked on buy twice it appears that
I have a secret admirer who knows how to get on my good side.  To
whomever that anonymous benefactor is, I'd love it if I could say thank 
you directly and will keep your secret if you write me off list.


So here is what I propose to do (which I discussed with "both generous 
friend number 1" and Mark today) offer the book to the list, first come 
first serve.. and send ALL of the money paid  (except what it would cost 
me to ship the book) to Mark to put into the Global Health initiative 
fund.


The book I have two if is the fancy one, the image warp hardbound
with the extra nice paper -

The BLURB price right now  is $72.71 - since there is always a coupon 
around for 15% off I'll sell it for $62 and will ask $5.00 for priority 
mail or $3.00 for media mail in the USA.


FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE - maybe send reply to me off list AND to list.

I hope whoever sent me the second book thinks this is a nifty idea too.

Hopefully next year I'll be able to buy my own without a bit of worry.

ann, wallowing in warm and cuddly feelings :-)

Re: Lens purchase advice

[Ken Waller]

Dan, not sure if you're if looking for a single walk around lens or one to 
add to your kit.


For me when I take my K-3 out with me I always carry along several lenses - 
28-80 F (sometime replaced with a 16-50DA*), 70-210 F, 200 A* macro, 300mm 
AF and a 1.4 converter. I could probably leave the 200 behind on most 
outings.


Always looking for less weight and sometimes I leave all but the K-3 and one 
lens in the car within close proximity to where I'm shooting.

Subject: Lens purchase advice



OK, if I do acquire a "new to me" K-5II or IIs, I should get a good
fixed focal length lens to go with it.  Currently, I use the 18-135
zoom, the 100mm f2.8 macro and the DA 50mm f1.8 with my K-r.

I was looking at the 21mm f3.2 DA AL Limited, the 35mm f2.8 macro
limited and the  40mm f2.8 DA limited.  Which have people here found
the most useful and versatile?  Which (if any) do you prefer for image
quality?

I am concerned that the 40 might be too close to the 50 I use now.  Is
it significantly better in image quality?

I have the 100 macro;  will the 35 macro allow me to do things I can't
with the 100?  I know the 35 limited is a lot more modern, but I
really have no complaints about the 100 macro, aside from the shaky
hand behind the lens.

Any thoughts and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Mostly from camera movement, there was more than the IS system could 
correct for.  I walking down a flight of stairs with people behind and

Re: Lens purchase advice

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Ken.  Of course, I want both.  

If I am going to the sculpture garden, or the balloon festival, or the
bike races, or the ball park, I will take my larger bag and several
lenses.  When I go into the city for a play, I usually take just my
50/1.8, to keep the bulk and weight to a minimum and to not attract
too much attention from people in the street.  For flowers or
butterflies, usually I take just the 100/2.8 macro.  For just walking
around, sometimes just the camera and the 18-135 Zoom.  For whales or
birds, the camera and my 70-300 zoom.

I guess what I am looking for now is a lens that would replace the
50/1.8 for street photography, giving me a wider angle of view, and
also to put in the bigger bag, to have more choices when I go out
fully equipped.

i have not used the 21 or the 40; my sequence of ownership of primes i've

FA 28/2.8, DA 15/4, DA 35/2.8 macro …


i got the 35 only a couple of months ago, and it has so far completely

macro's duties; when i traveled to Copenhagen recently, i took only the 35 and 
the 15 and used the 35 80% of the time; my typical kit now is just the 35 with 
the 15 optional

i find the 35 to be more versatile, both in field of view and in convenience 
(small size, built-in hood), than my Sigma 105; for true macro, the downside is 
that you have to get quite close to things, but for not-quite-macro i often 
prefer its field of view, especially for plants; my garden is my muse so by end 
of summer i will have a more seasoned verdict on the 35; i suspect a 24-28mm 
macro with other qualities similar to the 35 might appeal to me even more


i still use the 105 macro (and plan to eventually trade it for a Pentax WR 
100mm) for serious macro work, but i don't carry it around nearly as much as the 35


after exhausting other used sources i bought the 35 macro from KEH in "EX" 
condition, which wound up meaning there was the slightest amount of wear on the 
lens cap

GESO: Wanaka Sunrise

[David Mann]

When I was in Wanaka in January I was needing to get up quite early each 
morning to prepare myself for the early start on race day.  After getting up I 
would usually wander around the lakeside watching the sunrise while my wife 
"slept in" until a more reasonable time.  I'd carry the camera with me and took 
quite a few photos... it's taken me this long to finally get around to 
presenting a few (a baker's dozen, to be precise).

http://gallery.multi.net.nz/gallery/57/

After the race I decided to keep getting up early - I've always been a bit of a 
late riser and it had been annoying me.  My wife took advantage of my early 
starts to get a cup of tea delivered to her in bed every morning, which 
continues to this day :)

Cheers,
Dave

Stunning shots, Dave, and what a location. Very clear & sharp right up to 
the horizon. Sorry about the Crusaders last week!

When I was in Wanaka in January I was needing to get up quite early each 
morning to prepare myself for the early start on race day.  After getting up 
I would usually wander around the lakeside watching the sunrise while my 
wife "slept in" until a more reasonable time.  I'd carry the camera with me 
and took quite a few photos... it's taken me this long to finally get around 
to presenting a few (a baker's dozen, to be precise).

After the race I decided to keep getting up early - I've always been a bit 
of a late riser and it had been annoying me.  My wife took advantage of my 
early starts to get a cup of tea delivered to her in bed every morning, 
which continues to this day :)


Cheers,
Dave

Re: GESO: Wanaka Sunrise

[David Mann]

Thanks Alan and Bob.  It's an amazing location and I was wanting to move there 
until I remembered how cold it gets during winter.  It gets very busy during 
ski season - summer is their quiet time.  That's good because it means the 
accommodation becomes affordable.

I did manage to see one sunset but it may be a while before I whittle those 
photos down.

Couldn't care less about the rugby btw :D

Cheers,
Dave

You can't possibly be a Kiwi, then.  Surely.

Nice set of images - that looks to be a stunning place to spend some  
time during the off season.


3, 4, 6 and 9 are my picks.


Cheers

OT - Twitter

[Steve Cottrell]

Mark writing about his videos of travelling to GFM made me think (as it
always does!) that there may be some on the list who do Twitter. I tend
to use it on a professional basis with a bit of humour thrown in
(keeping my FB stuff just general junk) and regularly post pics and
updates of work environments along with retweets from colleagues in
filming and news. If anyone's interested, by all means have a follow -
never dull in my job!

Nice shot PJ.

And not just any boat. That's an '8'  (8 metre racing yacht) and an old
one - built in wood.

Close - that's an 8 Metre boat - the underlined bit is the class.

a 12 metre would have the 12 underlined:
