I shot a bit more than usual, I guess to subconsciously make up for the time off. The rationalization was that I needed more practice for the upcoming season.

K-7 replacement?
Is it just me or is there like no buzz about any forthcoming replacement for the K-7? It just seems that there's been a new camera on the horizon about this time the last few years. They've been churning out the PS cameras pretty quickly lately and there are these colorful KX bodies.. maybe they figured to let the K-7 simmer a while. Problem is, what am I supposed to obsess about? I still want a K-7 to replace my K10 but certainly most who would buy one have one already and the new body should be here to kick-start the obsessions again... Ah, well... back to computer stuff.

Re: The PDML Annual has Landed
Mine is here as well. There are truly a number of whoa... and Dude... images in this book. It's a good mix of images I've seen on the list and ones I haven't. I see some image and glance at the name to confirm what I already knew (Frank, Rick Wormer, Ann). Others are fantastic images from folks I don't know. Still others are works from list friends who've surprised me with their submissions. Last year I got the dust jacket version. This year it's the image wrap. I like this better though the cover does have a curious chalky sort of feel. I'll try to pick out some favorites during the day and report back. On a bummer note, there is a problem with something bleeding into the images on a couple of the pages. I've sent Blurb a request for a replacement and will report how they do.

Re: elements on a mac and a pc?
Found the EULA online... doesn't look good: 2.10 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. You must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example, if you desire to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then you must first obtain two separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating system platform, are delivered to you on the same media.

What's up with the K7 grip/kit?
Amazon and BH don't seem to have a listing for the battery/vertical release grip or one for the whole camera with the kit lens. I expect if I was to buy the camera right now, I'd want the grip with it so there's no extra couple hundred dollars to spend later (unapproved, ya know?). Also, I'm going to need to sell the K10, it'll probably be easier to sell with the kit lens, and don't I want the new one anyway? So what gives?

Re: To The Mountain...
Alright, I knew about your ticket before you did (though I didn't know who my dad was). I'll bring extra sleeping bags and an extra outlet in the plug strip. Let me know if you need anything else, I'm driving solo again this year so I have lots of space. Cory Gonz wrote: Well, I got an incredible surprise today. Seems that my wife and daughter have been conspiring to send me to the mountain (ok, no jokes here...cotty :). Grandfather Mountain... that is... They bought a ticket to NPW and a flight to get there! I was handed the gift this morning whilst on a Skype video call with my daughter, who is living in Germany (she is another pdml member). Each year I check out the NPW date and make plans to go there, only to abandon them when I end up with a conflict, usually around a conference where my company typically exhibits. One year another Austin (TX) pdml member was even going to go with me if I went. This year it was the same thing, but the economy being the way it is, it looked like we were probably not going to the conference due to the lack of money. Then I got layed off in late March when my company basically went belly up, so plans were dashed because of the possibility that I would not have money either. So, here I come. If I had known way ahead of time, I could have planned a drive there, which would have meant that I could bring lots of gear in my truck. I.e. not just Pentax gear but camping gear, and beer. By beer I mean homebrew. I've always wanted to brew an Asahi Chocolate Stout, or an ME Super IPA (my first SLR). I've been brewing for almost 20 years, first via kit, then ultimately going full nut case and doing the all-grain thing. But I'm coming via plane, so gear options are limited. Ok guys, I need your help. What should I bring? Does anybody have any room in their tents, RVs, etc? I could rent a mini-van and use that as sleeping quarters I suppose (done that before, hehe). Much of the stuff I'm bringing is probably going to be dominated by photo-gear, i.e. a couple of bodies, my best lenses. Dont have room for big bertha (the 6x7). I could buy a sleeping bag when I land, and maybe a pup tent (done that too). How do you guys typically set up there? I suppose that its mostly a tent type of situation huh? Does it rain often during that time there? One thing I'm going to do to make up for the homebrew is to bring some off the shelf stuff. Any requests? thanks and see you guys there... gonz -- 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.

An insurmountable (?) challenge
I mentioned with obvious excitement that there was going to be some Pentax big wig at GFM this year and he was going to have du du du the NEW CAMERA. Very calmly and with much apparent conviction she said There is no new camera. For you, new cameras do not exist. Ever.

missed shots
I have some tri-x in my MX. It's been there for a long time. There's another roll in the fridge. I've been meaning to shoot these for a while but the digital is just too damn easy. Yesterday I decided that I would take the MX and a couple lenses with me to the 2 mile road race my Emily was running (why are these things so early in the morning? Isn't the road there later?) I brought a 50mm and Doug Franklin's 400mm (Doug, I do still have this :)) Nothing really moved me to trip the shutter before the start. I was a little worried about not having enough frames. Film had that weird 12 or 24 or 36 shot limit, remember? I wanted to get the start and the finish plus a shot of Emily as she re-emerged from up the road. The start: 50mm. She's in a pack and I lost her until she would have been too small in the un-cropped frame to pick out. Manual focus...Didn't even fire once. Re-emergence: There she is, she's alone, shot framed, 400mm pre-focused and stopped down enough for some DOF. Shutter hangs open. Battery? crap. what's going on? shutter returns but now I need to displace and change lenses, now... The finish: I'm not in a good position at all. She's running by. I got one shot off with the 50 focused at infinity. It's certainty over exposed and not framed worth a crap. Digital + Zoom + autofocus + auto exposure have allowed me to be a crap photographer. I certainly LOOKED cool though with my black MX, black mono pod and huge black lens. I bet the guy next to me with his $100 flip camera got a decent HD video of HIS kid running up the hill to the finish though...

pod leg Q
I happened upon a mono pod yesterday. It's a four section Manfrotto 680B and it was free. It was pretty well covered with dirt and crud. The action of the tubes sliding in and out to felt really gritty so I took it all apart and cleaned it up. It seems alright but the bottom leg section is bent enough to make compacting it all the way a little tough. Does anyone know if such parts are available or how much the leg section and foot might be?

Multiplicity fail :(
I heard an interview on a podcast with this woman from Iceland: http://www.rebekkagudleifs.com/ One of her series of photos that gained her a lot of popularity is called Multiplicity. In this series, there are multiple instances of a single person (usually the photographer herself) in each image. I found the images interesting and decided to try one with my daughter Emily being the subject. (here's the fail part) I tried using the K10's multiple exposure mode and took five shots with Emily in a different place on the swing set in each. The resulting image is a very nice shot of the swing set with no trace of Emily... I suppose the camera averages out the scene. In four of the five shots there is no Emily at any given location so the end result is no kid. I have to say, it was a little creepy to behold. I'm sure the desired result could have been achieved in Photo shop but I was excited about the idea of doing it in camera. Bummer.

Silly question (enablement)
As a purely hypothetical , lets just say you had maybe $2500 to spend free and clear of any guilt. Lets also say you were inclined to spend said clams on new lenses. We'll say you have a K10, the DA 50-200 18-55, a FA 28-105 f3.2-4.5, and a FA 50 1.7 (there are some other manual focus lenses but we're focusing on newer stuff). Further, lets assume that we're going to buy new lenses from an online retailer (probably Amazon) and they need to be available for sale now or at least in a couple months. Assume we shoot lots of family-type shots (kids, vacations, scenic stuff from camping trips, etc), some sports (racing, football), and some more artsy or flower stuff on occasion. How would you spend it? I've been thinking: 90/100 macro (from whom?) 70-200 2.8 (Sigma? A TC to go with it?) DA* 16-50 (it's maybe too big for walk around/vacation and I wish it went out to 85mm) M Limited. But 43 or 31? 77? The new 55?
