Re: PESO - Glastonbury Abbey

[Chris Mitchell]

Oliver can't take the rap for this one. He came later. This Cromwell
was Thomas, Henry VIII's chief minister and architect of the programme
to dissolve the monasteries and a distant relative to Oliver.

Olly was partly responsible for the other piece of cultural vandalism
in Rick's picture of the West front of Wells Cathedral, being a
leading light in the puritan movement that destroyed many works of art
in its campaign to remove idolatry from churches.

I much prefer the software on CD/DVD, but I understand that it must be more
profitable to remove the marketing and disc production costs. Many companies
are now going this way, and whilst the current monthly subscription isn't
excessive, I always feel there is the potential at some point for that to
alter with a captive market.

Now, I understand, having pushed most of the customers down the subscription
route, it becomes our fault. I read that over 50% of custom is via this
subscription method a while back, so they are only supplying what the market
wants. Thanks for that.

Although I'm not on subscription, I feel locked in because I hate learning
new computer software and having (or getting) to grips with LR and PSE means
I am loath to start learning something else - although I'm always grateful
for list members posting information about alternatives, because the day
might come where I switch rather than become assimilated.

Oh yes, of course.  Many years ago I used a mail client that understood those

No need to be snarky: I didn't say otherwise. I haven't used PS much in recent 
years either, which is why I have a perpetual license for LR and continue to 
use an old version of PS.

Re: New Lightroom/Photoshop Features

[Igor PDML-StR]

I have no desire to be an apologist for my bank account.

That said, some of the old features it has depend on the amount of money 
leaving it not exceeding the amount coming in. So, the use of standalone 
LR ensures that the bank account is capable of being used to provide the 
future.


This gentle balance is one reason why CC subscription can be an 
unreasonable requirement for these old features.
Otherwise, I'd have to search for more and more of $$ to support features 
like this, making using LR more unreasonable and ultimately increasing the 
potential risks of bugs crawling into my proverbial wallet.


And if I am not needing both PS and LR, the cost analysis clearly shows 
that a standalone LR is much cheaper than CC.

Igor

This integration is one reason why CC subscription can be a reasonable

And if you are going to need both PS and LR, the cost analysis of what it
takes to stay up to date between perpetual license versions and subscription
favors subscription.

Re: New Lightroom/Photoshop Features

[P.J. Alling]

Of course it's a lot better for them. However, I object to paying the 
Adobe photographers tax.

They have a predictable continuous cash flow and an ongoing

With the stand alone product, they get a bigger chunk of cash all at
once, but they may never see the customer again.

A lot harder to run a company when you get a big chunk of money every
once in a while.

Nice upgrade to Lightroom this morning.

The new De-Haze filter is getting all the headlines, but I think the
most useful thing, for me anyway, is the addition of the whites and
blacks sliders to the local adjustment brush.


The upgrade process via the Adobe CC app was particularly nice. CC
popped up the notification of the availability of the upgrade. There
was a nice "what's new" link that described the new features in both
Lightroom and Photoshop. After the upgrade it displayed a link to
tutorials.  Much better than in the past.

Lots of new features for Lightroom mobile, but I'm fairly stationary
and don't edit on the iPad that much.

Overall, very nice.

Re: SMC-K 24mm f3.5

[Darren Addy]

I'm sort of embarrassed to say that (3 days after saying I was not
aware of the 24mm f3.5) I now realize that I own the S-M-C Takumar
version of it, which is apparently has been the same optical formula
from Super Takumar to K version. I don't think I've ever even had it
on the camera. After looking at some images and examples, I think I'm
going to have to change that and see if my copy is as sharp as many
say.

Re: SMC-K 24mm f3.5 / SMC 24mm f2.8

[Mark C]

Bojidar's site says that the K 24 f3.5 was made from 1975-77, with the 
2.8 following from 1977-84. Interesting - looking at the optical 
formulas the K24 2.8 and A 24 2.8 appear to be identical.



On 6/16/2015 6:11 AM, J C OConnell wrote:
When Pentax switched over to bayonet mount lenses the first series of 
K mounts included the K24/3.5.
It was later discontinued and replaced by the K24/2.8. Does anyone

24mm).

Re: PESO: Selfie

Thanks, Don, Mark, Bob, Igor and Ken!

Stangely enough, Don, the tee shirts wereactually adverised as having
a "3-D" appearance.

Igor, the dog wanted to look at us.  It was difficult enough to get
him to face forward, and there was no chance to get him to emulate the
pose of the dog on the shirts.  For that, you would need a hunting dog
or a herding dog or some other obedience breed.  Even when I
positioned a dog treat in the appropriate direction, he kept turning
back to look at us (and join us.

Re: New Lightroom/Photoshop Features

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I have no desire to be an apologist for Adobe. 

That said, some of the new features they add to Lightroom CC depend upon 
service programming interfaces (SPIs) which utilize Photoshop CC internal 
libraries to get the job done , so the use of CC ensures that the correct 
versions of both LR and PS are installed and capable of being used to provide 
the feature. 

This integration is one reason why CC subscription can be a reasonable 
requirement for these new features. Otherwise, they'd have to port more and 
more of PS into LR to support new features like this, making testing more 
expensive and ultimately increasing the potential risks of bugs on different 
versions of LR and PS. 

And if you are going to need both PS and LR, the cost analysis of what it takes 
to stay up to date between perpetual license versions and subscription favors 
subscription.

PESO - Glastonbury Abbey

art...

Glastonbury Abbey was well-established by the time of the Domesday Book in 
1086, though it needed rebuilding after a fire in the 1100s. It thrived until 
Cromwell had it  destroyed, and had the Abbott hanged, drawn, and quartered in 
1539; it then fell into ruin.

The floor is no longer present, hence the slightly unusual composition.

Knarf,

This is a beautiful pic, even if one isn't bicycle-obsessed.  I really like the 
composition and the sunburst.

Re: Ailing Monitor...

[Rick Womer]

PJ,

I have a Dell 2407 at work, and a 2410 here at home. Both are wide-gamut, Adobe 
1998-capable monitors that calibrate very nicely. The most recent model (2412?) 
is only sRGB capable according to the David Brooks who wrote in Shutterbug, but 
you might be able to find one of the older ones. IIRC I paid less than $400.

Ailing Monitor...

[P.J. Alling]

Well my Hitachi SuperScan CRT has been developing power supply 
problems.  Sadly it has the best color reproduction of any monitor I've 
ever had, and replacing it with an LCD even close in image quality and 
resolution looks like it will be very expensive. Finding a competent 
repair tech who knows anything about CRT's also seems to be problematic 
as well.  Oh, well.  The borrowed monitor I'm using now works I guess.

I don't have any love for Adobe either but the subscription-based model
works for me. I can't get my head around Lightroom but I use Photoshop
all the time. I originally got a hand-me-down version of CS3 but there
was no way I was ever going to be able to fork out the outrageous cost
of moving to CS6.

But 10 bucks a month? That's affordable - at least for now.  And I still
have CS3 lurking in case Adobe get extra greedy...

Aperture does that, well at least it can copy your files to a second

it doesn't mirror later changes


when i load images i always archive them to a server that way; periodically

Re: New Lightroom/Photoshop Features

[Bruce Walker]

Also more expensive for folks like me who only need to upgrade about
every two or three major versions.

It's kinda like: what if Ford decided to remove the buy option and
went to a "you can only lease" option for all their cars. So you get
upgrades frequently but you are paying through the nose continuously
for the rest of your days for more car and upgrades than you may need.

I have an Audi I bought new in 1998. It still works just fine and I'm
happy with it. I simply couldn't afford the you must lease option for
that. Sure I'd be driving a 2014 Audi now, but I don't need it and I
can't afford it. There's nothing wrong with my 1998.

I don't like Adobe any more. I have to use their products to get what
I want, but I don't like them, especially their marketing division.
Software leasing is for well-heeled corporations, not retired folks on
a fixed income. But they don't give a fuck. They smelled a huge
cash-grab opportunity and went for it. Then high-fived each other for
the rest of the week.

Re: GESO: Photos from Devon

What a wonderful gallery, Mark. Something for everyone. Looks like the 
weather was agreeable too. I haven't been to the coast for over 6 years now 
so your shots fill a void.

I finally put up a gallery of photos from our walk on the South West
Coast path last month. Mostly touristy/postcard type shots but worth a
look if you like scenery :)

With the stand alone product, they get a bigger chunk of cash all at

A lot harder to run a company when you get a big chunk of money every
once in a while.

Nice upgrade to Lightroom this morning.

The new De-Haze filter is getting all the headlines, but I think the
most useful thing, for me anyway, is the addition of the whites and
blacks sliders to the local adjustment brush.


The upgrade process via the Adobe CC app was particularly nice. CC
popped up the notification of the availability of the upgrade. There
was a nice "what's new" link that described the new features in both
Lightroom and Photoshop. After the upgrade it displayed a link to
tutorials.  Much better than in the past.

Lots of new features for Lightroom mobile, but I'm fairly stationary
and don't edit on the iPad that much.

Overall, very nice.

Dan,

It's a fun shot.

As a side note: I saw it in the morning on my phone, and just took a look 
on the laptop again. In both cases, what poped up is the fact that the dog 
has a different had orientation compared to the shirts' picture.


Larry's suggestion is funny.

Re: List Problems

[Igor PDML-StR]

Dave,

Besides the information in the footer of the message, there is information 
in the headers of the message. The headers are typically not shown by the 
mail program (or web-mail interface), but you can see them by choosing an 
option "View all headers" (or whatever it is, depending on the tool).


Here how it looks "in the raw":

List-Id: Pentax-Discuss Mail List 
List-Unsubscribe: ,

List-Archive: 
List-Post: 
List-Help: 
List-Subscribe: ,


Some mail programs are smart enough to interpret those headers
and tell you that the message contains list management information.

I am glad that information was helpful.

Igor

PESO x 2: Big Tuskers

[Alan C]

The Kruger National Park is renowned for it's big tuskers. If you would like
more info, go here:

http://www.sanparks.co.za/parks/kruger/elephants/tuskers/default.php

Today was a very warm "Winter's" day (32°C) so, being a Public Holiday, Ann
& I decided to take a trip to Letaba camp for lunch (& so did half of
Phalaborwa!). The Elephant Hall at Letaba Camp has an impressive collection
of skulls & tusks from deceased elephants. Here are the two largest:

Mafunyane (1926-1983) Tusks about 2.5m long, weighing about 55kg each.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/18675813738/in/dateposted-public/

Mandleve (1937-1993) Tusks about 2.3m long, weighing about 70kg each.

Lovely gallery, Mark. I started writing down my favorites as I proceeded 
through it. There were too many to list here. Just two examples: “Rocks, Birds, 
and Boats” and “Bluebells and Lichen.” But there were many more.

I finally put up a gallery of photos from our walk on the South West
Coast path last month. Mostly touristy/postcard type shots but worth a
look if you like scenery :)

New Lightroom/Photoshop Features

[George Sinos]

Nice upgrade to Lightroom this morning.

The new De-Haze filter is getting all the headlines, but I think the
most useful thing, for me anyway, is the addition of the whites and
blacks sliders to the local adjustment brush.

The upgrade process via the Adobe CC app was particularly nice. CC
popped up the notification of the availability of the upgrade. There
was a nice "what's new" link that described the new features in both
Lightroom and Photoshop. After the upgrade it displayed a link to
tutorials.  Much better than in the past.

Lots of new features for Lightroom mobile, but I'm fairly stationary
and don't edit on the iPad that much.

Overall, very nice.

Well that was a lovely trip - thanks for taking us along!  I have some 
faves but too lazy to type them out.



As to the geology - hmm looks layer of not too old (geologically 
speaking) conglomerate on top of the bed rock and the shape
probably has a lot to do with the direction swirling winds... probably 
easy enough to find out with specific coordinates and
the local equivalent of "roadside geology"  as you said you were in 
Devon , after which a whole layer of geological stuff is named,

it shouldn't be too hard.  I'll dig with you.

Thanks, Larry and Jostein.

You can give it all the thought you want, Jostein, just don't hound me about it.

SMC-K 24mm f3.5 / SMC 24mm f2.8

[J C OConnell]

When Pentax switched over to bayonet mount lenses the first series of K 
mounts included the K24/3.5.
It was later discontinued and replaced by the K24/2.8. Does anyone know 
the date this happened? Was

it during the M era of lenses or before? (They never made a M series 24mm).

Welcome to the wonderful world of  SMC Pentax K series lenses.  Not 
only are they optically superb, they are mechanically excellent as well.
Now you know why I have collected and use nearly the complete set of 
primes...

I bought a copy of this lens from B&H a few days ago, and it arrived 
yesterday afternoon. I really have to hand it to B&H - this copy is 
absolutely perfect / mint / like new condition. I bought it mostly to 
use reverse mounted for macro work - something that will get me more 
magnification than the DFA 50mm macro using the same extension. I 
made a few test shots today and I can only say I am *really* 
impressed with this lens. I fully expected to see some degree of 
chromatic aberration ( and was hoping it would be correctable) - but 
really, there is none. None. This may not hold up for all subjects, 
but in the tests I ran today it was amazing.


I am really feeling good in that the DFA 50mm macro has proven to be 
exceptional, and the K 24 f3.5 looks like it will be every bit as 
good. I tried a lot of lenses recently for high magnification work - 
M 50mm f4 macro, M 50mm f1.7, A 28mm f2.8, F 28mm f2.8, and XR 
Rikenon 28mm f2.8 and a few enlarger lenses (admittedly no first rate 
enlarger lenses). The F 28mm f2.8 was the only one that delivered 
acceptable results, but this K24 is clearly a cut above. Pentax 
should revive some the optical formulas in these cult classic lenses 
- add the latest coatings, AF and LTD lens build quality - call them 
the CC Limited Series.


I also should comment that I am very positively impressed with B&H's 
return process. I never had occasion to use their return service 
before, but they quickly processed the return on the AF 160 ringflash 
that did not work out. I replaced the flash with an AF360FGZ original 
model - so I will continue to use the flash setup that I have used 
for the last 10 years or so. The cost of the K 24 f3.5 consumed the 
rest of the refund, with a little left over.
