Thank you, Frank. And don't worry about me taking that the wrong way. She bickered with her mother about outfits off and on, and that was one was a compromise between them. Overall, though, they're happy with the shots and I was pretty satisfied, myself. Next time, I think I'll tell her mom I

Eye-fi Mobi Card

I've been using the Eye-fi Mobi card for a couple of days. Unlike the Eye-fi pro, it won't transfer raw files and it only sends the jpgs directly to an iOS or Android device. The big feature is that it doesn't need a computer or network for set-up or use. It establishes it's own little wi-fi net

I've been otherwise involved the last few days without much time to do more than an occasional glance at the PDML. But I noticed your query Eric, and also noticed that the discussion seemed to get sidetracked from cameras to phones. I have the iPhone 5. I've used the built-in camera for more tha

Re: PESO - The Dance Recital

Hi Frank - The recitals do go on and on. This one was very well organized and there were only a few seconds between groups of dancers. As one group danced off to stage left, the next was dancing on from stage right. She really kept things moving. Even so, It started at noon and I had to leave a

Hi Christine "Photography for Moms" could be the title of the Saturday morning class I teach at the community college. They called it "Taking Better Photos with your Digital Camera." But 98% of the people that sign up are moms. There are one or two guys in about half of the class sessions, but t

I mispoke. It's the series where she's wearing the white top with pink flowers that I had a teeny issue with. The last photos in the blue outfit work very well. Cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Walt Sent: June 18, 2013 6/18/13 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" Subject: GESO: Alisa

RE: GESO: Alisa W. photo shoot -- 6/17/13 (50 images)

Great work. The portraits are especially fetching. She seems so comfortable in front of the camera. I love the "Jewel meets Taylor Swift" thing she has going on there. Don't take this the wrong way (either of you) but she looks just a bit "chunky" or "thick around the waist" in the last several
