Re: No HDR with RAW
Eric - Taking advantage of the extended dynamic range of RAW files for HDR is pretty much a post processing domain. You might want to check out EasyHDR... http://www.easyhdr.com/ The April issue of Advanced Photographer (a UK photo mag) compared EasyHDR, Photomatix and Nik's HDR module and gave a very favorable review to EasyHDR. It works with RAW, tif and jpg files and actually does a nice job with tone mapping single images as well as combining multiple image files. And, at $39 it's less than 1/2 the cost of either of the others. -p On 3/29/2015 5:26 PM, Eric Weir wrote: I see in the K-5 manual that high dynamic range capture, something I just became aware of and that i imagine would be useful given the situations I often find myself in photographically, is not available when the file format is set to RAW.

Re: kaleidoscope reaches prototype stage
For best results you will want a first surface mirror to prevent ghosting from what would otherwise be a reflective front and back surface. Discarded copy machines are nice sources for kaleidoscope mirrors. They contain several matching (high quality) mirrors that are on pretty thick glass (not easy to break) and have a very long to narrow aspect ratio. All one needs to do is form an equilateral triangle with them and tape them together. Then shoot through this triangular tube to get the kaleidoscope effect. Stained glass/marble kaleidoscopes are cool. You can buy kits for them. Perhaps it would be possible to make one in such a way that it could be used as a tradtional kaleidoscope OR detach the end to use the tube to shoot photos through.

Re: A Paradox?
General concensus is that your diet should contain as many colours as possible. You seem to be concentrating on the warm colours. Given the winter many of you on that side of the Atlantic have suffered this year, that seems to be more than slightly understandable and no threat to world order.

What is Cotswold in this context? I've been to the Cotswolds, but I don't remember eating anything there with that name.

No HDR with RAW
I see in the K-5 manual that high dynamic range capture, something I just became aware of and that i imagine would be useful given the situations I often find myself in photographically, is not available when the file format is set to RAW. Since it says so, I guess it’s true. I don’t need, I probably wouldn’t understand, an explanation why. I’m just disappointed. I’d like to see how it works. I guess I could give it a try with JPEG. -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net Imagining the other is a powerful antidote to fanaticism and hatred. - Amos Oz -- 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: No HDR with RAW
You can shoot raw, bracket exposures combine for HDR in post processing.

Re: PESO - El Capitan
On BW film the colors are represented by grey tones. Red darkens foliage dramatically increases contrast in cloudy skies. It lightens skin tones in portraiture. Orange is similar to red, but not quite so much. Yellow darkens skin tones in portraiture slightly increases contrast in cloudy skies. Green lightens foliage, slightly darkens skies gives pleasing darker skin tones. Blue lightens the sky lowers contrast. Neutral density filters reduce the amount of light without affecting tonal values. You can use them to lengthen exposure time if you're going for a blur effect. SPLIT neutral density filters can be used to reduce the amount of light coming from part of the scene when you need to balance it with other parts of the scene, e.g. reduce a bright sky while maintaining a higher exposure value for earth below. http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/gear/more-gear/gadget-bag/filters-for-b-and-w-photography.html On 3/29/2015 6:43 PM, Eric Weir wrote: On Mar 19, 2015, at 7:53 PM, Ann Sanfedele ann...@nyc.rr.com wrote: MY old technique in film days was to slap a red or orange filter on camera bearing the Tri-x for midday shooting (not that it wash my technique I learned it from photo mags What is accomplished?
