Re: Lexar SD Card for the K-3f - Lexar SDXC Professional 1000x - 64GB

[Christine Aguila]

I always use Lexar cards and have never had this problem, though I should say I 
don’t use the speed level you state below.  I’m assuming you formatted both 
cards in the K-3.   Perhaps they are damaged and you can return them.

Sorry this is not much help.

Re: PESO - South Bank

[Daniel J. Matyola]

an interesting and effective image!

I agree that the South Bank was a pleasant area for a stroll.  Not the
Left Bank perhaps, but quieter than the other side of the Thames (at
least away from the Eye, the Globe and the Aquarium), with some
interesting restaurants, shops and side streets.

Don't sweat it, Dan. Inclined is fine too, but I feel that Tilt is

When I posted this image I decided to just let it to the talking.

I appreciate the look, and that you and PJ both thought about it.

It's a neat photo of a cool ornament, but I was sort of surprised that
it was supposed to depict a woman. She looks more like the Dennis
Hopper character in "Apocalypse Now".

KEH.com changed their website once again and it sux.

[P.J. Alling]

Yes, that's right I said it.  Last time they made a change, I wasn't 
happy, and used the proffered old style site as long as it was 
available.  This time they're not offering a "classic" view, and this 
time they really need it.  The new design looks good but navigation is 
just awful.  Before one could browse a category, and find things that 
might be of interest without actually looking for a specific item.  The 
new site makes that much more difficult.  I'd take their survey and 
explain everything that's wrong with their site, but the survey is 
closed, and they don't even give a link to an e-mail so I could leave 
constructive criticism.

Re: big lens, little birds

[Darren Addy]

Nice images, Paul. So sharp! Especially like that first one.

I can sympathize on the weight of hand-holding a beast of a lens like
that. How do you feel about monopods? My sister got me a Vanguard VEO
AM-264TR Monopod

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HUq4DfLl6c
Note the video shows an optional Vanguard head on the top in some shots.
Haven't gotten out to use it "for realsies" yet, but I think it is
quite an upgrade from my old Slik.

Re: dang 600mm lens

[John Francis]

When I visited it, the linked-to page had several references to
the 645 version of the lens ('P' in the name, and an extra handle
opposite the foot), but there were also two A* K-mount versions.

It's probably not that much heavier than the A* 300/2.8.

big lens, little birds

[Paul Stenquist]

More work with the 150-450.I’m very pleased, although I have to admit, it’s a 
hunk to hold up in shooting position for a long time. (Birds don’t like 
movement. I find I have to keep the lens at my eye and aimed toward the target 
to get any decent shots.. After 20 minutes or so, that lens can get quite 
heavy.} I’ve had to spend a lot of time sitting outside to get the birds used 
to me being there again. i had quit shooting when I had to care for my wife 
24/7, and the birds forgot me. When I first tried to shoot again, they would 
scatter upon seeing me and not return. They’re starting to become accustomed to 
my presence again.  All at f5.6, ISO 3200 and shutter speeds form 1/250th to 
1/640th. The light wasn’t good, but the temperature was moderate, so I could 
afford to be patient. All handheld at 450mm.

All very crisp captures of fine looking birds - especially like the first.
No issue with noise that I can see on the IPad.

Re: Camera Size comparison between K-3 and Nikon D500

[Darren Addy]

It seems odd (with that size difference) that the Nikon is only 60
grams heavier. That would seem to indicate it is made of lighter
stuff. Does it have a magnesium frame inside like the Pentax?

i didn't even know eBay did "collections" — i see two K-mount 600s that are

several other K-mount listings on eBay, some a bit cheaper, so perhaps not

Re: PESO ~ Tilt

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Your original post was pithy and quite satisfactory, and the image is
quite attractive and a real attention grabber, not to mention
technically superb.

Perhaps it is my old physics training coming out, but when I saw the
prop, "inclined plane immediately came to mind, and it seemed to me a
perfect title for the image, because of the various connotations
"Inclined" has relative both to the model and to the viewer (and I
presume the photographer).  

There are levels of meaning [pun intended] in the word inclined, which
also brings to mind "recline,"  "decline" and "supine."  It is your
image, of course, so the title that occurred to you is the proper one,
not the one that occurred to me.

Camera Size comparison between K-3 and Nikon D500

[P.J. Alling]

Firstly everyone who want's to feel a little smug about something Pentax 
can follow the link...


http://camerasize.com/compare/#648,485

Secondly it's just annoying that Camera Size gets Canon and Nikon gear 
entered immediately while some other manufactures take forever and some 
relatively recent cameras are ignored entirely.

Thanks, Ken;  so would I.  

I call this "Impression" of sailing because if it is a Seward Johnson
sculpture based on Monet's "Terrace at Sainte-Adresse."  Part of the
work is a sculpture of Monet, on the shore, working on his painting,
which is mostly complete.  The other part is this boat, in the lake,
which is a replica or the boat in Monet's work.  One can stand over
Monet's shoulder and see both the painting in front of him and the
boat in the distance.

More work with the 150-450.I’m very pleased, although I have to admit, it’s a 
hunk to hold up in shooting position for a long time. (Birds don’t like 
movement. I find I have to keep the lens at my eye and aimed toward the target 
to get any decent shots.. After 20 minutes or so, that lens can get quite 
heavy.} I’ve had to spend a lot of time sitting outside to get the birds used 
to me being there again. i had quit shooting when I had to care for my wife 
24/7, and the birds forgot me. When I first tried to shoot again, they would 
scatter upon seeing me and not return. They’re starting to become accustomed to 
my presence again.  All at f5.6, ISO 3200 and shutter speeds form 1/250th to 
1/640th. The light wasn’t good, but the temperature was moderate, so I could 
afford to be patient. All handheld at 450mm.

Re: big lens, little birds

[Paul Stenquist]

I can't afford it either :-). And Jack gets great results with his 50-300. I 
only bought this because I'm going to need it for my car shoots with the full 
frame camera. (Editors love that pull.) However, the lens has been a pleasant 
surprise, so I'm sharing.

Pixsy.com - Tool for finding your images being used illegally

[Darren Addy]

You may have heard about the photographer discovering that one of his
images had been appropriated by ISIS for propaganda purposes. What you
may not have paid attention to is the service that alerted him of the
violation: Pixsy
http://www.pixsy.com/what-to-do-when-isis-steals-your-photo/

I had signed up some time ago for a Pixsy invite but apparently missed
it when it came. However today I noticed a reminder email from them
and used the invitation. I am very impressed with their algorithm's
ability to find where your images are posted. I just fed them my
Flickr account and they (very quickly) about 25 pages full of links
with my image and the suspected image.

There were a lot of images that they found on places where I had
posted them (like forum.mflenses.com, pentaxforums.com, etc.) and
there were a lot of inexplicable false positives, they also found a
good number of actual unauthorized uses by businesses and
organizations. What was ESPECIALLY impressive was that their algorithm
found my image inside composite images that had been made by the
infringer, one case where the infringed usage of the image was
somewhat cropped, and another where it was used in a slider graphic
and faded out to one side (in otherwords, my image, but modified by
the infinger. This was pretty impressive!

You can submit a claim with Pixsy and they will negotiate a licensing
fee with the infringer and pay the photographer 50%.

However, since they are new, I can't find any info on how much those
negotitated fees might actually be. So for now, I plan to use Pixsy
simply as my "bloodhound" and turn the infringements over to a real
copyright/photo attorney. It may be slower, but I don't think
attorney's charge THAT much unless they actually go to court, and
being attorneys I'll bet they get higher amounts than Pixsy will. (At
least two of my infringers are pretty big name web sites).

Here is the Pixsy blog: https://www.pixsy.com/blog/
An article from fstoppers from back in March:
https://fstoppers.com/business/exclusive-sneak-peek-inside-pixsy-beta-60219

https://www.pixsy.com/sign-up/

In addition to negotiation licenses, you can also quickly issue a DCMA
takedown notice using images that Pixsy finds that belong to you.

Hope someone finds this useful.

As soon as I find the perfect camera bag, I'll buy a new lens and the

In 2005, I traveled in the UK and had occasion to visit the Tangmere

Re: big lens, little birds

[Paul Stenquist]

I have a monopod, and I use it while hiking or shooting sports. But my best 
opportunity for shooting small birds in my own yard is when I sit on a bench 
that is about ten feet from the feeder. I've tried using the monopod while 
seated but it was awkward. I
May try again.

Yes, that's right I said it.  Last time they made a change, I wasn't

What real difference would it make. They paid a designer to update their 
site.  A complaint from an sometimes customer isn't going to get them to 
roll it back.


I just visited again, and a link to the "classic" site has appeared, 
that works.  So I'll browse using that until it disappears.


The sad part is the last update from a few years ago actually made 
things better for the customer.  This seems to be a step backward and 
sideways.

Mitchell last night. Started with some nice Belgian ale at a pub noted 
for its, well, nice Belgian ale, then went to dinner at a sort of hip, 
fusion restaurant.


Earlier in the day, Lisa and I took in the Wildlife Photographer of the 
Year exhibit at the Natural History Museum. Some amazing photography on 
display there, as usual. One of the shots in the "Urban" category was 
of... cormorants! Shockingly, it wasn't taken with a Pentax. How 
inappropriate. In terms of equipment, I noted that two of the 100 photos 
in the exhibit were taken on medium format digital, one with a GoPro (in 
the "Time Lapse" category), one with a Panasonic compact (it was 
inserted into a carcass to take shots of vultures by remote control!) 
and all the rest were Canikon variations (about half a dozen APS-C and 
the rest - the vast majority of the exhibit - full-frame; interestingly, 
there didn't seem to be any mirrorless cameras represented). I was very 
curious about how the judging was done, how many judges there were and 
what criteria they used. With over 42,000 entries this year I expect 
there must have been some kind of initial filtering before the four main 
judges chose the 100 winners but no one could tell me the specifics. It 
also seemed to me that the scientific significance of the images 
captured must have counted in the judges' ranking as some category 
winners were clearly not the best from an artistic standpoint, but again 
no one could clarify that for me. Still a great exhibit.


We also visited the Hunterian Museum of fascinating/gruesome medical 
specimens where Lisa found several misdiagnosed bone tumors (and is 
setting about getting them corrected, of course). They don't allow 
photography in there which is a pity because I think it would be 
fascinating to get pictures of people observing the specimens on display.


Today we'll be hitting some more book shops and perhaps another medical 
museum, followed by a classical concert at St. Martin in the Fields 
tonight. Then on Sunday we're off to Oxford for the day to meet up with 
Cotty the soon-to-be hat eater.


More later.

Re: dang 600mm lens

That baby is from the 645 lineup.
Having once played with it on the 645D, my brief and shallow impression 
is that fringing is not an issue on the crop format 645D, and a total 
non-starter when coupled to a K-mount camera.


You'd have a harder time living with the sheer weight of the thing.

fringing would be less of an issue on a ff digital.

Not a bad price, but I would be concerned about fringing on digital.

I think you mean Supermarine Spitfire, Godfrey! Supercharged 27L V12
Rolls Royce Merlin/Griffon engines. When they changed the exhausts to
point backwards like that, the max velocity increased by 30mph. A
magnificent example.


Yep. That's a very late version (you can tell by the bubble canopy) with 
the Griffon engine (easily identified by the 5-bladed propeller). Any 
British boy over the age of, say, 6, knows a Supermarine Spitfire when 
he sees one! Splendid photo.
