Markham Fair
Morning all. This past weekend was the annual Markham fair, the one i submit pictures to for their photo contests. This year was a dismal year for me for photos, did not get out a lot but i did manage a few venues, one of which was the annual plow demo using horse drawn equipment. I submitted 6 photos and won a first and two thirds, One of my B&W's won best in class, something i have been striving for for the past 16 years. I got a nice ribbon and a plaque as well http://www.caughtinmotion.com/2016-Lewis-farm/album/slides/DSCF0705.html I'm quite thrilled by this.

October PUG - UP - is Up!
G'day all, For me, this is one of the most enjoyable galleries this year with a diverse range of interpretations. Bruce's 'Skipping' is up to his usual high standard and is my favorite with Matthew's 'Stairway to Nowhere', Bill's 'Flying Fortress' and Ann's 'Up Mt. St Helens - 1991' also very enjoyable. For some unexpected interpretations of the theme, check out the submissions by Alan, John and Jan. As usual you'll find the gallery here: http://pug.komkon.org/ (you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery there). Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not infallible.

Re: October PUG - UP - is Up!
It is indeed an enjoyable and interesting gallery! Once again, thank you so much, Brian, for all your efforts on our behalf and the wonderful way you gather and display the images ach month. My favorite is Bruce Walker's "Skipping." It is a colorful and dynamic image with strong composition and balance. The look on her face is the icing on the cake. I am also quite fond of Matthew hunt's "Stairway to Nowhere": That is a great composition of an interesting scene, rendered with lots of detail and textures. "Lunch at the Museum" by Joseph Tainter also grabs my eye and my imagination; it clearly and effectively depicts that lovely venue. Overall, a really great PUG!

Re: October PUG - UP - is Up!
Many well do, clever choices, but Bruce Walker's Is my favorite. If "jump" should ever becomes a Pug subject, Bruce is set. J - Original Message - From: "Brian Walters" To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" Sent: Monday, October 3, 2016 5:10:28 AM Subject: October PUG - UP - is Up! G'day all, For me, this is one of the most enjoyable galleries this year with a diverse range of interpretations. Bruce's 'Skipping' is up to his usual high standard and is my favorite with Matthew's 'Stairway to Nowhere', Bill's 'Flying Fortress' and Ann's 'Up Mt. St Helens - 1991' also very enjoyable.

Getting in touch with my inner lesbian
I bought a new toy yesterday, took a few snapshots on my way home from brekkies today. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157673495755641 I know there are some people who hate on Subarus, but this one seems to be mechanically solid, it was relatively cheap (same out the door as State Farm paid me for damage to the Screaming Buttweasel), and I talked the dealer (who specializes in used Subarus) into throwing in a set of alloy rims for me to mount track tires on for about $80). I figure that if I get a couple of years out of it, I'll be happy. They get decent mileage, it seems pretty fun to drive and I'd like to get some seat time at the track in an AWD car, because I'd like to expand my skill set. Some guys are accused of buying cars with big V-8 as a means of compensation, maybe with this car I'm compensating for my lack of a vagina. Now I need to track down a rainbow racing stripe for it. note to Nicole: I'm only joking about the rainbow racing stripe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idhxrZKlLvc -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

No - I copy to a USB thumb drive and then copy them from the thumb drive to the Android via a file manager. It should be possible to connect the tablet to the PC via USB directly but I've had problems doing this (the tablet never seems to know whether it should be charging or connecting to the PC as an external device).

Car photography hints?
This question is mostly for Paul, but some other people might have some good suggestions: My neighbor is trying to sell his 1970 Challenger R/T. He's had it for 40 years and it's generally in pretty good shape (340 engine). He does not, however, have good photos of it. I've offered to take some for him. Are there any tips and tricks I should know about to avoid mistakes ahead of time? I.e. long lens from a distance rather than close up with a wide lens? The car needs to be buffed out, would I be better of getting some shots of it before hand so that the color shows more than the reflections? What about shooting the interior? Natural light? Maybe some flash to fill so that the view outside the windows isn't blown out? Polarizers? Critical or not?

Re: Car photography hints?
Yes, use your longest lens from a distance. Shoot on asphalt or concrete with a clean background like trees or hills. Position the car as far away from the background as possible. Camera height for your key shots should be about headlamp level. Shoot 3/4 and 7/8 front and rear as well as a full profile. Then shoot all except the profile from eye level. Finally shoot some 3/4 front and rear from a height of about 12 feet with a 50mm lens. Use a polarizer on all shots to eliminate reflections. With the low angle shots you will want to adjust the polarizer to eliminate reflections in the side of the car. With the high angles you may want to dial out the sky reflection. If you want to go all out you can shoot with two different polarizer settings and composite the results. Shoot the interior with your widest lens and a flash with diffuser. If the headliner is white or grey, bounce the flash off of it. Use the flash and a medium wide to shoot the engine.

Re: Car photography hints?
Shoot the 3/4 and 7/8 shots with a big ap. I usually shoot at 5.6, 6.7 and 8 with the 450 and use the 5.6 if all appears to be in focus. (I focus on the closest point, the headlight for example.

Dave, As Brian, has suggested, you can just convert songs to some mp3 format. Alternatively (I haven't used those), - you may consider some of the multiple apps (including free ones) available on Google Play.

Too busy for me. In a past life I had a stroboframe flash bracket. It was a lot of hardware with minimal benefit. In the photo of this device I see a cork surface where the base attaches to the camera. Cork doesn't grip. You need a soft rubber-like surface. Too many minuses.

A ball head has more degrees of freedom, which complicates the situation when I need just to flip it from landscape to portrait orientation. i have used a monopod with a simple tilt head and concluded similarly to Larry's comments that a ball would be better, particularly because i often used the monopod for macros close to the ground — tilting both the pole and the camera at odd angles becomes a necessity and a title head simply doesn't cut it so i found a used Gitzo GH1780, a tiny 10 oz. ball head with enough tension sensitivity to support the camera while allowing adjustment of the camera position on demand (in comparison many small ball heads simply have a "locked/unlocked" feel); i enjoyed using it for a while, but as i've graduated to cameras with better shake suppression i don't use the monopod very often … -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Speaking of racing cars and track time, I had the honor of taking a ten-lap ride with a famous race driver at Lime Rock, CT, in a Ferrari Daytona once upon a time many years ago. I can't even describe the level of fear involved after the first lap. By the third lap, it seemed survivable ... But beyond that, the sound of that car's engine used in full race regalia was amazing beyond any other race machine I've ever been near. Good memories ... :-) G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Perhaps it's time to write a book? Esp. with a long Winter just around the corner. Alan C -Original Message- From: Paul Stenquist Sent: Monday, October 03, 2016 11:44 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Car photography hints? Yes, use your longest lens from a distance. Shoot on asphalt or concrete with a clean background like trees or hills. Position the car as far away from the background as possible. Camera height for your key shots should be about headlamp level. Shoot 3/4 and 7/8 front and rear as well as a full profile. Then shoot all except the profile from eye level. Finally shoot some 3/4 front and rear from a height of about 12 feet with a 50mm lens. Use a polarizer on all shots to eliminate reflections. With the low angle shots you will want to adjust the polarizer to eliminate reflections in the side of the car. With the high angles you may want to dial out the sky reflection. If you want to go all out you can shoot with two different polarizer settings and composite the results. Shoot the interior with your widest lens and a flash with diffuser. If the headliner is white or grey, bounce the flash off of it. Use the flash and a medium wide to shoot the engine.

He's had it for 40 years and it's generally in pretty good shape (340 engine). He does not, however, have good photos of it. I've offered to take some for him. Are there any tips and tricks I should know about to avoid mistakes ahead of time? I.e. long lens from a distance rather than close up with a wide lens? The car needs to be buffed out, would I be better of getting some shots of it before hand so that the color shows more than the reflections? What about shooting the interior? Natural light? Maybe some flash to fill so that the view outside the windows isn't blown out? Polarizers? Critical or not?
