Re: PESO - Wedding Feast
That's interesting and nicely done. A bit too busy for me, but that's not your fault. It would have been nice if you'd included the edge of the table, showing some of the food and perhaps a knife or something breaking the edge. Still lifes of this purpose were used not only to show off the patron's wealth and good taste, but also to make a moral, allegorical point about the transitory nature of wealth, power and earthly pleasure. To do this the painter often showed something balancing precariously on the edge of the table, about to fall.

Re: Was this year on PDML reMark!able?
Igor there is a lot of truth in what you say. Of course, several others have already had their say too. I found the list by accident! I was nearly hijacked by C*non but found using older Pentax lenses with adaptors was too tedious so I bought a S/H K110D. I can see that many of the founding members have developed close bonds which is surely the whole essence of the PDML? In the relatively short time I have been a member there has certainly been a reduction in the number or postings especially the sarcastic jocular type some of which are very clever (reMARK!able). Many of the technical strings have been very useful. Just like in a choir, everyone is on a joint learning curve. In South Africa, where English is a second language for most, even English speakers become submerged in a sort of secondary English with poor pronunciation limited vocabulary including a lot of non-English words. Wit is pointless not understood by most. But we are a tolerant bunch get by regardless. The younger generation are not only into social media rather than e-mails SMS's but also into smart phones tablets which double as cameras. In fact, there is clearly a decline in tourists with DSLR's( we get many from all over the world because of the weak Rand). Even compacts have gone. Superzooms seem to be the in thing now seeing how well my daughter wife do with their Fuji Superzooms makes me wonder why I persevere with a DSLR. Mind you, I only have consumer lenses. The world is dynamic constantly changing. Must the youth follow in the footsteps of their progenitors? I think not - it is their prerogative to go do whatever they feel is their calling. Some older people do adapt to a degree but most are trapped in their comfort zones.

Thanks Bruce, it wasn't intended as a portrait, just a grab shot of Dee being a bit goofy. I like how it turned out though. One of the things that I am annoyed with about Pentax right now is that they don't have any glass that matches the Fuji. I came to Pentax for the glass, and all of a sudden they are getting spanked. The Fuji 55/1.2 so outclasses the DA55/1.4 that it is embarrassing to compare the two. Lenses of this type should be bokeh kings, and the Pentax has ugly, busy bokeh. Having a great time with that kit? :) That I am. To the point that as Fuji fleshes things out a bit, I will be putting a lot of Pentax glass onto the market. bill On Sat, Dec 20, 2014 at 8:40 PM, Bill anotherdrunken...@gmail.com wrote: OT for no Pentax content.

Re: OT: X-Rite ColorMunki Display on sale @ BH
The colormunki is good but slow. The included software is not very accurate in profiling though. It just doesn't sample enough and runs very quickly. The i1 has better support with CMS software and seems to have a much more professional profiling software solution. The colormunki can be unlocked with argyll cms and displaycal and can be used to generate profiles that are as accurate as the i1. They really just gimped the software more than anything. It is a good device that can calibrate monitors and printers unlike the i1 that only does monitors. The experience and results out of the box are not very optimal though quite honestly. It will give you better than what you had, but nothing like real profiling with argyll. The colormunki is something like 2x as slow to register values too so profiling with argyll takes an hour or so. It goes much quicker with the i1.

Thanks, Igor - I think the portrayal is intended to be more documentary than artistic, but they certainly did a nice job of it. The guide said that most of the food was real, though she noted that the cake was not. The door to the room was open and I would guess the temperature was a little below freezing, so maybe that helped preserve some things. Obviously, the beer is fake!

Thanks, Bob. I looked at the other shots and nothing is hanging over the edge, so I guess the arranger was not not making a moral statement. This particular framing is in part the result of trying to avoid harsh shadows on the wall behind and in par the result of the relatively narrow angle of view of the FA50mm f1.7.

That said, the LCD is very difficult to use in bright sunlight so I'd also be interested in any experience. If you're not planning to use any DA series lenses, then a basic adapter without aperture control will do the job - manual focus only though. I don't have a K-mount adapter for my Q but I do have cheap and cheerful adapters for M42 and Konica. They work fine, not that I've actually used them as much as I thought I might. The Konica adapter has a tripod mount - it seems to be attached firmly enough but I'm not sure I'd want to trust it with a heavy lens. -- 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.

Re: OT: X-Rite ColorMunki Display on sale @ BH
Zos, thank you for the pointers to those two packages. I just downloaded argyll, and will take a look at it. The software that comes with ColorMunki Display is indeed very skinny. I was surprised that it only allows to save a profile, but doesn't allow loading a previously saved profile. While the software allows multiple display calibration, inability of loading different profiles for different conditions of the same display is dissapointing. I haven't experienced much of problems with the accuracy (but I might be not as demanding user in this case), but I've been fighting a lot with the problem caused by the conflict with the Windows' video driver persistence service that I mentioned earlier. (I do need that persistence service, so I cannot afford disabling it.) I am very disappointed that while it is a well known problem, X-Rite doesn't bother to provide any warning/reference to it, and I am not even talking that they didn't bother to find a work-around. Actually, in regard to that, I still have an unresolved quest: A one-click (or very minimial number of clicks) solution for loading an existing display profile under Windows 7. It can be a separate small program, or whatever reasonable setup. I would greatly appreciate if someone knows such a solution. Best regards, Igor Zos Xavius Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:40:53 -0800 wrote: The colormunki is good but slow. The included software is not very accurate in profiling though. It just doesn't sample enough and runs very quickly. The i1 has better support with CMS software and seems to have a much more professional profiling software solution. The colormunki can be unlocked with argyll cms and displaycal and can be used to generate profiles that are as accurate as the i1. They really just gimped the software more than anything. It is a good device that can calibrate monitors and printers unlike the i1 that only does monitors. The experience and results out of the box are not very optimal though quite honestly. It will give you better than what you had, but nothing like real profiling with argyll.

I had a triathlon on Saturday and most of us wore wetsuits even though I'm sure the water was approaching 20C, definitely the warmest I've raced in so far. It was 16 the previous week when I had a 2.5km swim at the same location. I wore a neoprene hat and neoprene socks for that one but there were some serious swimmers who were doing the 10km event without a wetsuit, as required for their time to be officially recognised by the swimming powers-that-be.

Re: OT: X-Rite ColorMunki Display on sale @ BH
I use a Spyder 4 and have managed very good calibration on my 27 wide gamut monitors, the Spyder software also has an option to refresh the LUT in presetable increments in case the LUT gets overwritten by rogue apps or the OS. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9304908/temp/LUT-refresh.png On 22 December 2014 at 18:14, Ralf R Radermacher fotor...@gmx.de wrote: Am 21.12.14 04:19, schrieb Igor PDML-StR: I just wanted to point out that BH currently has X-Rite ColorMunki Display on sale for $119 with an additional $25 Mail-in rebate, resulting in $94 end price.

Re: Jane Bown
I love stories about the way she would turn up for a shoot. Just one camera and one lens, natural light. She'd shoot 12 frames with minimal fuss and go away knowing that she had one great one.
