Re: 16-45/4 vs 12-24/4
Hello Juan, I have the 12-24 and i simply love it. It is very sharp at all focal lengths. Wide open at F/4 the sharpenss is good to excellent and gets a bit better around f5.6 to f/8 beyond f/16 sharpness starts to drop due to diffraction effects. At F/4 there is some vignetting but can easily be corrected at raw conversion stage. CA can be a bit pronounced but again easily fixable. Flare resistance is good. Handling is great.

Thanks, Tom. Hadn't thought of that but I took a look at what they had and there were already some similar composites there. Quoting David Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Seriously cool Brian. Although I didn't realise that the moon rose fell like that :-) You mean it doesn't look like that over in the west?. :-) Quoting Igor Roshchin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Great! Nice idea and wonderful implementation. Photo Every So Often has a special meaning with this image. :-) Igor Thanks Igor - I guess I can claim to have submitted 20 PESOs in the one day. Is that a record? Quoting Peter McIntosh [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Wow! Love it! How did you make the composite? Ciao, Peter in western Sydney Nothing particularly innovative. I just created a black image 3000 x 2000 pixels and then in Photoshop Elements I cut and pasted images from the various image files into separate layers. Then it was just a case of moving them around until they formed the parabolic shape (a grid helped with this). Quoting Digital Image Studio [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If that was a failure then you made an impressive recovery, it looks like it should be on one of those astro photo of the day pages ;-) Nicely done.

The only answer was to reduce the size of the images and make a composite. All told I took about 50 photos from start to finish of the eclipse - the composite is made up of 20. I used a Tamron SP 300 mm lens plus 2x converter at shot at ISO 800 to try to keep movement of the moon during the exposures to a minimum.

Re: 16-45/4 vs 12-24/4
I have both. The 12-24 is of slightly better build quality, and the barrel extends only slightly at full wide and full long. I believe it's also slightly sharper than the 16-45 at the 16 through 24 range. At 12 it shows some minor barrel distortion, but it's quite good for this wide a lens. The bedroom and first construction site pic are at 12mm. I believe the second construction site pic was at around 15mm. The bedroom pic was perspective corrected in PhotoShop with Edit/ Transform/Perspective. The BW coffee shop pic is at 24mm. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4797891 http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5696305size=lg http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3924131size=lg http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5690796size=lg On Aug 29, 2007, at 11:17 PM, Juan Buhler wrote: Hello, I own the FA16-45/4, and it is my most used lens on the K10D.

Re: 16-45/4 vs 12-24/4
Hi Juan, I have both of these lenses. Like you I felt the need for something wider from time to time. 12 is a long way wider than 16. I do need to get used to it more. I found myself changing between the 12-24 and the 16-45 as I came across different points of view where 24 was too wide and 16 was not wide enough. I think it will be great for architecture shots - I'll find out when I have time to take some. The 12-24 also takes up a lot of room with its large lens hood and 77mm filter mount. It does however fit snugly into a Lowepro 1W case. -- Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon Juan Buhler wrote: Hello, I own the FA16-45/4, and it is my most used lens on the K10D.

Re: I Hate My *ist D - Eclipse Photos
Hi Cory Thanks - I use Linux as well (dual boot with win XP) but compiling from source is something I've never quite come to grips with. I always tend to get masses of errors and missing dependencies. Both Irfanview and Studioline allow the user to tweak the dcraw settings. I'm not quite sure how they relate to what you have done but I'll give it a try. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ Quoting Cory Papenfuss [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Wed, 29 Aug 2007, Brian Walters wrote: That's interesting. I've had a similar experience with the interpretation of Raw files in Studioline Photo Classic, a program that I use for cataloging images. It also uses dcraw. The raw conversion of photos I took some months ago of Comet McNaught are all blown out badly in the Studioline conversions. I don't quite understand the setting changes you made to Irfanview. Can you elaborate? Cheers Brian Since I'm a linux guy and compiled dcraw from Dave Coffin's C source code, I simply changed that one line to a different number. Probably doesn't help most people who use programs *based* on dcraw. The originial line of code read perc = width * height * 0.01; /* 99th percentile white point */ which I changed to perc = width * height * 0.001; /* 99.9th percentile white point */ or perc = width * height * 0.0001; /* 99.99th percentile white point */ I could have done it by manipulating the blackpoint and brightness settings instead, but I would have had to do that by hand. I generally run through all my RAW conversions with everything set up on auto, and only fine-tune the ones that deserve special attention. Re-compiling the source allowed me to use the same batch mode script, just have a modified dcraw good for star photos.

Re: Another publication credit...

Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A local publisher is putting out a book of poetry and photography from local artists next year, as part of the celebration of Pittsburgh's 250th birthday and I just found out that the two photographs I submitted have been accepted. I'm not sure how big an honor it really is, because I have little idea of the quality of the publication and no idea at all yet of what other material they've accepted. The project does have some official backing from the county, so I'll take that as a little positive sign. They specified black white photos (of course - this is to go with poetry, right?) and I sent two of my best, the Welsh Church Door and the Oak Tree with Vines. All I get out of it is a couple of copies of the book, so this isn't an honor that *pays* anything, but if it goes like most anthologies of poetry and photography, I'll probably end up ahead of the publishers, who are likely to *lose* money ;-) (P.S. The only reason I didn't submit any poetry is I couldn't find a place in the Pittsburgh area that rhymed with Nantucket...) Congrats, Mark. Always good to get published.

I know i said i wanted to get out of the business altogether, but, whadayadoeh.:-) Job would be similar but not exactly what i was doing before. They have a TON of their own plans and notes and a TON of other surveyors plans and notes to scan and data base. Its been going on for a while, just with students, and now they may want someone to come in on a more or less full time basis and carry on.Its more or less what i was doing at MMM for a few years. Sounds like it could be flexible so i may be able to work a shorter week, and more than likely still be able to GFM next year.

Is that anything like the IDes of March? William Robb In 1829 the State Legislature appointed a commission to dig a canal connecting Chicago with the Mississippi River by way of the DesPlaines and Illinois rivers and to lay out towns, to sell lots, and to apply the proceeds to the construction of the canal. The canal commissioners employed James Thompson, a civil engineer, to lay out the original town. On August 4, 1830, Thompson filed his survey and plat of the town of Chicago in Section 9, Township 39, Range 14, and thus Chicago received its first legal geographic location although the town was not incorporated until three years later. On August 12, 1833, the Town of Chicago was incorporated with a population of 350. Incorporation was enabled by an act of the legislature, passed February 12, 1831, which provided that any community of over 150 inhabitants was authorized to incorporate as a town, with limits not to exceed one square mile in extent.

Re: Super Program Body...
Thank you, Mat. I did as you have indicated...all is a-okay :-) While I am on the subject, I must say that this body has a nice feel to it--even without a lens attached. I like the small grip piece, and, overall, the body seems to have a nice balance, size (fairly compact), and weight. My lens should arrive sometime next week. I settled on a used A 50/2. I have this lens on my ZX-M (though that one I bought new with the camera). Before I forget: do LCDs wear out? I tend to be one who likes to keep things for a while, and I am wondering how much mileage I should expect from the little screen on my SP (and ZX-M). With my KX, this, of course, is not an issue...although I like the extra speed (1/2000) on the ZX-M and SP.

You should then be able to set your shutter speed. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
