RE: PESO: Outside Zabar's, New York City
Hi Walt I got a cityscape shot early with some very strange partly banding at ISO 400! but the shot was heavy underexposed. I take most of my night city photos with a -2 exposure correction on the K10D for the highlights. A recent panorama shot made out of 3 photos with the Pentax A24mm (and it's barrel distortions ) can be seen here: Zurich very early in the morning, view from the bellevue at lake Zurich : http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/bellevue.jpg Greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Walter Hamler Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 3:15 AM To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: PESO: Outside Zabar's, New York City Looks prett good to me. I don't do much, if any, night street photography. I would imagine the metering can be tricky. I certainly don't see any of the banding issues some have talked/complained about.

RE: PESO: Outside Zabar's, New York City
Hi Rick I would have preferred a different angle here to show a bit more of the shops inside and loose the distortion on the left side. Zabar looks more like an electronic shop from the shopping windows, I had expected to see lots of fine and expensive food from your description. Was this photo made at 16mm? I never used my new K10D at a ISO setting higher than 400 so far and will try to make some city street shots tomorrow at ISO 800/1600 as a test if I can stand the noise... :-) Greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Womer Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 3:02 AM To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: PESO: Outside Zabar's, New York City Long time, no PESO; it has been a difficult month.

Thanks, Ann!

RE: PESO: Outside Zabar's, New York City
Markus, I had to wait to get home to look up the EXIF data. The lens was at 23mm for this shot. Actually, shooting through the window doesn't make it much clearer that this is a food store, because what one sees is cash registers, shopping bags, and miscellaneous merchandise. I'm quite pleased with the ist D at 1600; if the K10 has less noise I will be thrilled (when I get one). I'll also be thrilled with it because I had to trash a half-dozen otherwise nice shots because of camera shake.

Ann, March 13 at about 9pm. A very comfortable evening, too. Dunno where the crowds were.
