Nice shot, makes me glad I live in California.




Equipment: Pentax *ist-D w/smc Pentax FA 20-35mm f4.0

Notes: IIRC I nearly froze my b***s off that day, coldest day of the
year, but the *ist-D preformed beautifully. I still have that camera
something eventually failed on the circuit board and the green button
and DOF preview stopped working, not worth repairing, not worth selling,
so it sits on a shelf forlornly, next to the still working MXen and LXen
that I also never seem to touch.

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

I really have to get a new sig, this one is getting long in the tooth.


Maybe it will achieve immortality.

Red, very red.

Nice shots.  The red channel on the far boat looks a wee bit clipped on 
my monitor, it's probably just an artifact of the gamut and would look 
better on a print.

Photo students today - equipment

2016-09-29 Thread Bipin Gupta
Kids are very very smart today and you bet they do a lot of research
on the Internet before making a decision.
So all kinds of DSLRs do come up but "Mirror Less" are mostly absent
or extremely limited, and forget 4/3rd Systems.

Again Photography Students buy mostly pre-owened Equipment, so that
getting a hit on-line for 4/3rd or Mirror Less Cameras are very
limited as their sales and market population are limited.
And their prices are not cheap if they find one compared to a pre-owened DSLR.

Also one cannot buy the idea that students do not have knowledge of
DSLRs so they turn up in Class with a P - what with the abundance of
folks carrying DSLRs on our streets, TV, Paper or Magazine Ads.

There is a joke now that Photography Students will turn up for
Photography Lessons with their Hi Tech Smart Phones - well why not?

And here is "proof of the pudding" - my grand daughter is three & a
half years old - she insists I let her have my Pentax K-5 IIs to take
a "pretend" photo. She does not want her Mom's Hi End Canon P

Photo students today - equipment

2016-09-29 Thread Bipin Gupta
Hi Igor, regardless of the Photography Course or Class a Student will
always benefit with a DSLR or a similar advanced camera.
And why not when DSLRs are so cheap today.
In fact many Students buy pre-owened equipment which are literally
selling for peanuts if you look up the KEH website.

I bought my first SLR a Pentax K-1000 SE (made in Japan) in the late
1970s for some $ 258 from Oldens in New York. Jack up that price in
todays $$$ terms and you will see how cheap DSLRs actually are today.

I remember giving my Daughter a Ph.D student at an Ivy League School
in the US a Pentax MZ-5n with a Microscope attachment, so that she
could better use it in her re-search work in Genetics.
Oh my! How happy she was.

Just my 2-cents.

This is pretty much what I surmised: Unless they have an (older)

Mark, I was not referring to you when mentioning a "black and white" 
picture. Rather I was cautioning a potential reader of the information 
you've provided. (And other PDMLers have already started speculating about 
the absence/small quantity of certain categories.)


As for your and others being surprised about your students not hearing 
about 4/3rds or mirrorless, I can offer one (out of multiple) possible 
explanation. My good old friend whose daughter is roughly of the age of 
your students wanted to buy a reasonable camera for his family trip, and 
then for his daughter to take for her study-abroad program in China.
Not being involved much in photography since his student years, he 
automatically thought about SLRs (obviously digital, as he's heard about 
that). Because in his mind there were P's and [D]SLR's. I pointed out to 
him some of the 4/3rds cameras, and he was surprised and happy, as those 
offered him (and his daughter who was skeptical about DSL's weight) much 
lighter photo bag, with the quality and amount of control more than 
sufficient for his needs.


I wouldn't be surprised if some of your student's decision for/information 
about the camera could've been influenced in some similar way by their 
parents.


Additionally, my personal (very subjective) impression is that in the past 
2-3 years, the term "4/3rds" is not highlighted in the advertisement as 
much as it was when it was first introduced. And even the term 
"mirrorless" is not pushed forward too much in the advertisement for the 
mirrorless cameras.

I never said it was black and white. I'm just putting out a small
sample of what's going on.

As the course name "Digital Photography II" implies, this is a
second-level course. (I bet you can guess as to what the prerequisite
course might be called.) It's purely elective for all majors.

What was more telling to me than the cameras being used was that none
of the students had even *heard* of mirrorless cameras. Or the
Four-Thirds system. It will, as you say, be interesting to see how
this plays out over the coming semesters when I get a bigger sample
size. 

As for the percentage who show up with P cameras, rather than going
up to 45% it should drop closer 0% after we have the requirement of an
interchangeable lens camera mentioned in the course description in the
catalog – currently they don't know until they show up for the first
class and get the syllabus.

Those are curious facts, but there are several important questions 
that need to be addessed before any conclusions (or even suggestions) can 
be made:

1. What type of class that is and for whom?
(e.g. an introduction to major for espiring photographers vs. one of the 
"election" classes for "far-from-major"-s)


2. For most of those numbers his is not a statistically representative 
case. So, very few clear conclusions can be made (Except that the class is 
happening, and you've got some studnets who are likely to be interested in 
photography). With just a dozen of students, the statistical error is 
Sqrt(12) ~= 3.5 So, +/- 3.5 person is your "error bars" for each of the 
numbers you mentioned. (I.e. 0 +/- 3.5 with mirrorless, 0 +/- 3.5 with 
4/3rds, 2 +/- 3.5 with P, etc.)

something eventually failed on the circuit board and the green button

Thanks! Even Frank couldn't find that photo for me — I just sent him
the link so he can see his own photo again!

Re: PESO Statue

2016-09-29 Thread P.J. Alling
This was taken in 2006 in Providence RI.  I think I posted it way back 
then but it's not in my PESO folder, so maybe not.  My statue, (har my 
statue), had a much more classy donation vase.  These are the last few 
days of HTML rendering on Dropbox so I'm taking full advantage.


https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20stillasastatue.html

Shot with the *ist-Ds and SMC M 85mm f2.0, and rendered using 
Pixmantic's RawShooter Essentials, I'd forgotten just how nice that 
software worked, unfortunately, the *ist-Ds isn't supported by DX0 
Optics Pro, so it was RSE or Pentax Digital Camera Utility, (yes I know 
I could have used Adobe Camera RAW, but it just doesn't offer the control).

Ahh that's what I've been doing wrong all these years. I only ever seem
to get pictures of people on scooters.
