you can always download and use  PS CS2 for free from adobe but it wont 
work with the later versions of ACR so certain pentax bodies raw files 
are incompatible with PS .
if you cant install PS CS6 from original disks, you may be forced into 
leasing the cloud version whether you like it or not.

Today I had to do a clean install of the OS on the laptop and when I tried to

Thanks Stan. I dug out a DVD drive from my relic pile. It's FireWire, and of 
course the MacBook has no FireWire port, but apple makes a FireWire to 
thunderbolt adapter, so I ordered one. Even if it doesn't work, having a DVD 
drive will be a plus.

A few decades ago my local camera guy had a nice used M50/1.4 for sale for $20. 
He let me have it for $10 along with my trade of the 50/1.7 I had been using…
If I still have it I will let you know but am afraid that I have long since 
sold it. I do still have the A50/2.8 macro but will be holding onto that for

 AGREE.

 Shallow DoF is very overrated at the moment. It can be used, with care,
 to great effect.

 But not every fucking shot.

meet with the Dana-Farber folks to get an update on the Global Health
Initiative for this year and, as usual, pry the foreword out of Doug

Re: OT: USPS nuts

2016-04-15 Thread John

No need to apologize. It's odd because I've had that kind of problem
with UPS, but never with USPS.

I mailed a package on April 4, it arrived in Scottsboro, AL on April 6.
It was refused, "return to sender", USPS had it back in Lafayette April
8 but instead of forwarding to USPS Carencro, they sent it back to
Alabama.  USPS Birmingham sent it to Huntsville but Huntsville saw it
was "return to sender" and sent it back to Birmingham, who promptly sent
it to Huntsville, who sent it to Scottsboro and it is out for delivery
again.

It has been on the road for 11 days and it is not done yet.

This is just funny but they have done this before where a package was
sent from Memphis to Jackson to Memphis to Jackson and then stayed at
one or the other for several days before it was sent on to me.

I think I'm going to have a UPS or Fedex only policy but ebay makes it
so easy to print a label.  I'm about done with ebay too.  That is
another story.

Sorry for the rant.

Re: Lightroom - change of storage drive question.

If you use Lightroom to move them, it should update the catalog as it 
goes along.

For once, I am planning to do as much as possible within Lightroom. Moving
the photos within Lightroom I don't think will be the issue, it's checking
the catalogue still knows where everything is, which I assume is also an
update of details within Lightroom, so it knows where to look for the
pictures on a different drive. This I'm sure I can find how to do in my
book. I'm just hoping that someone has done this here before and swapping
drives really isn't an issue.

Re: Lightroom - change of storage drive question.

2016-04-15 Thread John

You should be able to have Lightroom move them to the new drive, so it
would already know where the photos are located. I know you can do that
with Adobe Bridge, so Lightroom should have the same capability.

On 4/15/2016 9:38 AM, Malcolm Smith wrote:

My taking photos every day project has started to fill up hard drive space
so quickly, to the extent that I need to move it somewhere bigger. This
doesn't even cover the scanning of photos & slides. I have backup drives
which are large, but I've just got a 5Tb drive to move Lightroom onto.

Now, I'm not the best at computer related activities, but it seems I can set
up said new drive as a new folder within Lightroom, and drag and drop the
contents of the old drive onto the new. This will take some hours to move
the images. Having relocated the pictures, I then have to tell Lightroom to
recognise that all the pictures are there, and that's where it should look
for them. I have no doubt the procedure is hidden in a large book on
Lightroom I have.

All I really want to know is if someone here has already had to do this, and
aside from the long copying time, did all go OK?

Jean Renoir, followed by Orson Wells, pioneered great depth of field as a way 
of layering their movies, and of using the camera to reveal things subtly. 
Shallow depth of field in movies looks gimmicky to me, like excessive use of 
slow motion. It feels as if the director is beating me over the head by forcing 
me to look at what s/he wants, rather than making good use of 'mise en scène' 
so the audience can see and think for themselves.

Re: K-3 II shooting video: No Card In the Camera (Wanna bet?)

2016-04-15 Thread Darren Addy
Yep. That's why thin DOF adapters are popular with young moviemakers.
They can take a small sensor video camera and still get that
professional look.
I picked up an EnCinema 35 with something else that I was purchasing.
It is an adapter that accepts a Canon EOS lens on one end and has a
small glass screen at the focal plane of that lens. You put this on
the front of the video camera with close focus filters and essentially
record that glass screen. The results are pretty cool:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHwFipV7Po8

The other part of professional TV/movie work is not just thin DOF but
the way the focus SNAPS from one point to another (as in the faces of
two people in conversation). Here's a neat story on the job of "focus
pulling":

Re: PDML: Where are you located? (Lurkers also welcome to reply.)

2016-04-15 Thread John

Cost of living's a bit higher in Asheville, as it is down near the coast.

The Piedmont probably offers the best compromise between lower cost of
living and accessibility to both the mountains & the sea.

If I was looking to move to North Carolina from out of state, and was
not constrained by having to live where I had a job waiting, I'd take a
real close look at the area around Asheboro where the NC Zoo is located.

All the other good parts of living in North Carolina are relatively easy
to get to from there.

Re: OT: USPS nuts

I had that happen with a package a few years ago.  Tracking had it go 
from my P.O. almost directly to a sorting center local to the recipient 
in one day, from whence it was returned to Connecticut, then made a tour 
by ground through a succession of local Post Offices until it was 
delivered a week and a half later.  I wish I kept a tracking list.  It 
was amazing.

I'd be very interested to know how you get on with video Darren.

I've not really had any use of the cameras(s) that have video capabilities, as

suggested making a short video on the changes in my area over the last 25 years

something I'd like a go at.

As the function is there, I should at least give it a try. Our family was not 
much into home movies; I've got a dozen or so 8mm films from the late 60's my 
father made (not seen since I was a teenager) and two mini Betamax video

parents had it.


The first time I tried video on a DSLR I realized something.  I was 
photographing a musician on my Kx with my 77/1.8, so it was a rather 
shallow depth of field.  I realized that "home movies", whether super 8, 
camcorder, or cell phone have always been done on small sensor systems, 
which give a lot of depth of field.  Everything I'd ever seen with 
shallow depth of field was professional, either movies or TV, so just by 
having shallow depth of field my mind associated it with "professional

I have never had an issue with packages via USPS and they are always my shipper 
of choice, inbound or outbound. And we get good service from UPS and FedEx as 
well.

However, I have had one USPS “incident” recently. I have a storage locker 
filled with “stuff.”  Every month they send me an invoice for my rent, every 
month I send them a check. Mid-November I was preparing to send them an advance 
payment for December (we were going to be out of town all month) and I noticed 
that I had not paid November. Couldn’t recall any invoice, couldn’t find it. So 
I just sent them the check for two months and forgot about it. In February I 
received the November invoice. On the back of the envelope was a cancellation 
stamp from Kagali, Rwanda. Dated Nov something. And second stamp from Kagali 
dated sometime in Dec. And a third Kagali cancellation stamp dated sometime in 
January.

So, en route from Bay City MI to Midland MI (approximately 12 miles distance) 
the invoice travel to Rwanda. Where it either got caught in some sort of loop 
there in Kagali, or maybe it was sent back and re-sent several times. I am not 
sure what happened, but I blame aliens.

Thanks Stan. I'm doing very regular backups to hard drive(s). The main computer 
is on the way out; it's long past the time that I generally replace a computer, 
it won't run all the software I have and a number of things, such as the DVD 
drive no longer work. I'm therefore moving as much off it as I can until I get 
a replacement - with a much larger hard drive, in case of sudden failure.

For once, I am planning to do as much as possible within Lightroom. Moving
the photos within Lightroom I don't think will be the issue, it's checking
the catalogue still knows where everything is, which I assume is also an
update of details within Lightroom, so it knows where to look for the
pictures on a different drive. This I'm sure I can find how to do in my
book. I'm just hoping that someone has done this here before and swapping
drives really isn't an issue.

Re: Lightroom - change of storage drive question.

2016-04-15 Thread Stanley Halpin
I've gone through this many times.

1. Make a back-up of your images before you do anything.
2. If you use Lightroom to move the photos to the new location, then there is 
no need to reassociate your LR database/catalog with the images because LR 
knows where it put them.
3. I presume you are just moving the images to your new drive, not the LR 
application or catalog? Those two should stay on your main drive for the sake 
of processing speed.

4. If you want to get really wild and crazy…
a. you can split the location of your images. I don’t think LR cares.
b. On my internal hard drive, I currently have my 2016 and 2015 
folders. The 2014 and earlier have been moved to a secondary drive.
c. My logic is that I am much less likely to be accessing the older 
files, and so the extra search/retrieval of secondary storage doesn’t become an 
issue all that often. And so far I have been able to accommodate the two 
most-recent years’ images within my primary drive. As files get bigger I may 
need to start doing six-month rather than one-year chunks.

Lightroom - change of storage drive question.

2016-04-15 Thread Malcolm Smith
My taking photos every day project has started to fill up hard drive space
so quickly, to the extent that I need to move it somewhere bigger. This
doesn't even cover the scanning of photos & slides. I have backup drives
which are large, but I've just got a 5Tb drive to move Lightroom onto. 

Now, I'm not the best at computer related activities, but it seems I can set
up said new drive as a new folder within Lightroom, and drag and drop the
contents of the old drive onto the new. This will take some hours to move
the images. Having relocated the pictures, I then have to tell Lightroom to
recognise that all the pictures are there, and that's where it should look
for them. I have no doubt the procedure is hidden in a large book on
Lightroom I have.

All I really want to know is if someone here has already had to do this, and
aside from the long copying time, did all go OK?

I'd be very interested to know how you get on with video Darren.

I've not really had any use of the cameras(s) that have video capabilities, as 
I've had no real interest. However, this morning, a 'phone call from friend 
suggested making a short video on the changes in my area over the last 25 years 
(basically since he left my area), which although he mentioned as a joke, it's 
something I'd like a go at.

As the function is there, I should at least give it a try. Our family was not 
much into home movies; I've got a dozen or so 8mm films from the late 60's my 
father made (not seen since I was a teenager) and two mini Betamax video 
cassettes from a camera which probably had one hour of use in the time my 
parents had it.

Spent a November week in the area just west of Apalachicola—and in Apalachicola

glitzy. Easy going. Good food. Was ready to move there. And Florida had never
