Re: Lightroom 6 released, but there doesn't seem to be an upgrade discount.

there is also a deal for Photoshop + lightroom for 12 months for $99.
Not a bad deal really.

Built in GPS, that's good.

No more pop up flash, for me, also good to lose the flash of last resort. I
much prefer daylight even if the ISO has to be bumped up, but then use a
dedicated flash/other lighting thereafter.

Pixel shifting, now that's a tricky one. As I understood it, both the camera
and whatever was being photographed had to remain still. Not a problem with
the camera on the tripod, but what about the subject? Or has technology
moved on again and this isn't the problem it was?

Not enough to swap from a K3 - although I might be tempted when they start
selling the last ones at reduced prices ;-)

Re: Peso- Afternoon Drive

[Jack Davis]

Thanks for your pleasing remarks on both images, Knarf!
The wading birds are somewhat of a guess on my part, but my best is that the 
far wader is a Great Egret.
The two closer darker colored "may" be non-breeding Great gray/blue Herons.(?)
Am always glad to happen upon the White Pelicans. They float about in tight 
groups I think of a "rafts."
They have a unique way of feeding by each dipping it's head in a simultaneously 
rhythm.

I'll put my Bird Book away now and thank you again for commenting!

Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers

[Mark C]

Wow - they have simplified switching the center post to being mounted 
sideways.  On the 3021 that I have the process of switching to the side 
mount is fairly cumbersome, since you have to unscrew the center post, 
reconfigure it to be side mounted, and then screw it back together.


When I broke the old tripod and replaced it with the newer 3021 I did 
not initially expect to use the center post at a right angle - with just 
the head and no center pose the tripod goes right down to ground level. 
But after I tried the sideways mounted center post a few times I came to 
rely on it -  it  adds a lot of flexibility to how the camera and lens 
can be positioned.

Thanks, Ann! The tripod is a Manfrotto 3021 BPRO - discontinued now, I

looks like 3021 is very similar to but a bit beefier and taller than 
the 3001 BPro i had until yesterday; both can still be found used 
pretty easily; i sold mine (good shape, no head) for $60


the Manfrotto 055 and 190 series supersede these, respectively, and 
continue the idea of center posts that go to a right angle, though the 
new ones make it easier


 



what strikes me is the the grip-action ballhead you used (as shown in 
your photo of your old setup) pretty much obviates the need for a 
right angle column, since it extends sideways fairly far and is easy 
to reposition


fwiw, on the 3001 i sold, the long portion of the center column is 
removable, leaving just a stub and allowing the tripod to go flat to 
the ground

It would be great if someone made a K-A compatible extension tube that

ever made for K mount.

Hi Eric -

This photo might also be of use:

That is my old setup - photo taken in 2006 with my old tripod and I think an 
*ist-D. But you can see how the tripod collar rotates - in that photo the 
mounting plate is perpendicular to the the bottom of the camera.

An L-bracket would help with the 90 degree turns but it is nice to have the 
tripod collar that can rotate into any alignment with the tripod head.

I’m having a hard time envisioning this—my photographic naiveté. Any chance you

Re: K-3II announcement and new FA Limited primes coming...

Had not seen that view before, so Pentax is putting the GPS module where 
the pop up flash used to be.  On the other hand Canon removes the built 
in GPS from one of their models because no one cared.  Honestly, I 
sometimes use the pop up flash, but I don't think I've ever missed 
having GPS, and if I needed it, an add on device that Pentax already 
makes seems like a pretty good option.

Re: K-3II announcement and new FA Limited primes coming...

[Darren Addy]

I agree, Dario. I'm curious to see how much the FF camera varies from
the flagship APS-C in size and form factor.
Regardless of whether it is built upon the same casting and body type,
I do expect it to have all of the functionality of the K-3 II but with
the larger sensor. I think it may give up some FPS in burst mode
though, but that is just a guess. It should surpass the K-3 sensor in
dynamic range and high ISO performance.

I think it is neat to see that they've finally built the O-GPS1
functionality into the camera (including AstroTrace) if the leaked
specs are correct. I'd expect that in the full frame, as well.

P.J., I had exactly the same thought.

And as for "Improved Anchimoare function",  I'd like two of those! :-)
It must be preparing pickled anchovies in a special Transilvanian brine:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moare

Or it has something to do with some holistic ANCHI crystals
http://anchicrystals.com/aboutanchi.html

(And it might mean something more optical in Spanglish)

i sold mine (good shape, no head) for $60


the Manfrotto 055 and 190 series supersede these, respectively, and continue 
the idea of center posts that go to a right angle, though the new ones make 
it easier




what strikes me is the the grip-action ballhead you used (as shown in your 
photo of your old setup) pretty much obviates the need for a right angle 
column, since it extends sideways fairly far and is easy to reposition


fwiw, on the 3001 i sold, the long portion of the center column is 
removable, leaving just a stub and allowing the tripod to go flat to the ground

Hi Eric -

This photo might also be of use:

http://markcassino.com/b2evolution/media/DSCN6186a.jpg

That is my old setup - photo taken in 2006 with my old tripod and I 
think an *ist-D. But you can see how the tripod collar rotates - in that 
photo the mounting plate is perpendicular to the the bottom of the camera.


An L-bracket would help with the 90 degree turns but it is nice to have 
the tripod collar that can rotate into any alignment with the tripod head.

Re: GESO - More Spring Flowers

Thanks, Alan. For the wildflowers I set the drive mode to medium or slow 
speed continuous and try to very smoothly turn the focus ring. High 
speed is too fast - to cover the DOF I have to move the focusing ring 
too quickly to feel confident that I am covering the range I am trying 
to get in focus.

Weather has turned and may even get a little snow/rain mix in the

I’m having a hard time envisioning this—my photographic naiveté. Any chance you 
could post a photo of this setup?

Re: PESO - No Exit?

[Rick Womer]

Thanks much Frank, Ann, Dan, and Igor.\!

Dan, I desaturated all the colors except red in LR; the real colors
along that corridor are various shades of bilious green.

Igor, I actually took this on my way home; but yes, it is the grim
route I tread.

Cheers,

Rick

Rick,
Is this YOUR way to work? ;-)
Well seen rendering of the color vs. gray.

This photo is screaming to be used for some demotivators.

K-3II announcement and new FA Limited primes coming...

[Darren Addy]

According to asahi man on the Pentax SLR dpreview forums we may get
the announcement on the K-3 II as early as Thursday. He also stated
that the FA Limiteds have been out of production for over 2 years and
that the U.S. is one of the few places that still has stock remaining.
With the forthcoming FF Pentax he says "Of course Pentax will stay
with the Limited Line,so we will see new Limiteds for Fullframe for
sure. More later in the official news."

But first, he says, will be the K-3 II announcement.

PESO: Magnolia Leaves

[Daniel J. Matyola]

We have 4 magnolia trees in our yard.  Two are more than 30 years old,
rather large and the traditional type that lose all their leaves in
the winter, then bloom profusely in the early spring, before the
leaves emerge.  One is a smaller variety, that I planted two years
ago.  It loses almost all of its leaves in the winter, but a few
survive in sheltered areas near the base.  It also sets buds in early
spring, before the leaves return, but also has a few isolated blooms
that appear in late spring.  The third is about 10 years old, and does
not lose its leaves in the winter, although they turn somewhat golden
underneath and brown along the edges.  The leaves are quite shiny, as
seen in the below image.  This magnolia does not bloom all at once in
early spring, but its blossoms appear in groups of two, three or four
throughout late spring and early summer, and then a few appear even in
the fall.

That is a very strong image.  I love the effect of the dominant grey
tones shattered by the red of the signs.

Re: PESO - Michal - Coldest Day of the Year Ride

Looks cold enough for me!

I like the expression you captured, Frank.  Another fine image in your
long series or portrayals of bikers.
