Re: October PUG is up
Hi Scott, I really like new PUG style. So far my own PHP programming/design skills have been not very good. Should try that jAlbum for my personal web site. Gasha Scott Loveless wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I like the new format, Scott. Before each picture had to be opened and closed individually, as a separate web page, which was pain. Now between arrows and index it is much easier to see them all. Before my ego gets too big, I thought I'd fill you in on how it's put together. The form is javascript. It bundles your photo and the fields into a nicely formatted little email message and sends it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I basically drag the photo into jAlbum and then copy the text over. Each entry requires a little manual editing of the text. I use a jAlbum template called Chameleon, tweaked a bit to meet our needs. There is at least one other PDMLer using jAlbum. It's free and very similar to Breeze Browser. Breeze Browser is more flexible and has more options, but the latest version of jAlbum fixed some formatting problems I was having, so I'm satisfied with it at this point. If you compare this month's PUG to the last few, you'll see that I was able to separate the photo title from the camera info and description simply with P tags. This wasn't possible before with the Chameleon template. (If it was, I wasn't smart enough to figure it out.) The templates that allowed standard HTML tags looked horrible, IMHO. I spent a lot of time exploring alternates to the Chameleon template for the October PUG, thinking I had something that would work, only to find out that something like navigation sucked, or image resizing didn't work quite right. Once I realized that the latest version of jAlbum did what I wanted, it really only took about 3 hours to put the PUG together. Navigation. You have three options for navigating the photos. There are left and right arrow buttons at the top. Thumbnails of the last few and next few photos are on the left and right of the current slide. If you hover your mouse over the slide you'll notice that it's divided into three sections - previous photo, index, and next photo. Opening the slides in the same window as the index pages is an option I really like. I personally despise links that force a new tab or window. The old PUG style wasn't too bad, though. Once you clicked a thumbnail, and the new window opened, you could use the navigation buttons from there. I just like to keep everything in the same window, and no one has complained about it. I currently have one submission for the November PUG. And it's not themed. Get on it. Otherwise, Carrot Top impersonations will follow. -- 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.

Re: PAW 2007 - 42 - GDG
http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW7/42.htm Thank you all for the comments and compliments! Some notes below ... From: Michael Levy [EMAIL PROTECTED] First this in an intriguing image. Lot of mystery and room for personal interpretation/involvement in the scene. Second, I wonder how much post processing you did? I mean was the light REALLY that blue? From: Rick Womer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Very nice. Is that the actual color or did you do a BW conversion and tint it? This photo was made in one of the small gallery halls at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. The full frame of this exposure would have revealed that the entire room was being illuminated by a ceiling to floor set of windows ... there were no pieces on exhibit in the room at this time, just this child and his mother dashing about so the lights were off ... and that directly outside was a very bright, sunny day with an intensely blue sky and bright green foliage. While I did try a couple of BW renderings, I didn't like the dark effect very much and discarded them. Any cropping I made that included the scene through the window distracted me. So I kept cutting it down until just the essential elements I wanted ... the glow of that blue blue sky reflecting in the highly polished floor, the slight warmth afforded by the green reflecting in the midst of all that blue, the gesture of the child's body and hand against the table legs, the hard, sharp shapes of the circular plugs on the floor and the legs of the table against the subtle limb of the child's silouette, etc. So, aside from picking the cropping that satisfied me and the black point that hit the balance I wanted, very little post processing was done. All the procesing was done in Lightroom in this case too, so there was no local, selective editing done on it ... yet ... From: Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cool concept, well rendered. Unfortunate placement of the table legs. From: ann sanfedele [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jaume Lahuerta wrote: What a shame those (table legs?) just above the child's head... This case is the limit that I would allow my self to edit (removing those table legs), since I think that the picture deserves the effort. What about you?

I also wouldn't crop at the bottom.. I made about seven exposures ... the child (and his mother) were running about the room quite quickly and were certainly not under my control so the notion of moving left or right to catch the child at this point is impossible to imagine doing. The whole sequence of seven were taken in less than 4 seconds by the timestamps, and then they were out of the room. I'm glad I had the camera on Continuous drive mode for once. And I don't know why I did... ;-) I chose this frame because of the positioning of child and table, and the visibility of the illuminated limb of his silhouette and the gesture in his hand. Downsizing it for the web has reduced that point of near-far separation, which I might be able to restore with a little selective editing. But it is actually exactly what I was after as I worked on it: the juxtaposition of the hard, sharp objects against the organic shapes in silhouette. Whether it works for you or not remains a personal opinion, of course. Actually, some of these responses beg a question: How many people open up the larger rendering I provide by clicking on the image in the web page? Or are you commenting based solely upon the smaller rendering in the web page? I don't know whether the blue cast is real I'd like to se it in pure black and white, but that is purely a matter of taste and I'm betting Godders has already looked at it that way and changed back again. Yes, I've made monochrome renderings of others in this sequence but was not as thrilled with them as I was with this one's intense colors. Thanks again!

Re: PAW 2007 - 42 - GDG
Bit of an 'almost there' type of shot. You caught the child just perfect with the finger pointing and the silhouette works well. What hurts the shot are the black posts that come down through the child's head. They really weaken the finger pointing and the child. It is still a good shot, just not perfect. I suspect you had to live with the setup due to timing of the pointing. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 1:27:26 AM, you wrote: GD Hope you enjoy ...

PUG themes for 2008
I've put together a list of 12 themes for 2008. I've tried to stay away from the more abstract themes and focus more on photographic genres, in hopes that some of us will actually go try something new. The list with notes (not in order, necessarily): Documentary/photojournalism 'Tis the season - I thought February would be a good month, allowing plenty of time to go through your Christmas/Festivus/New Year/whatever photos. Fashion/glamour Portrait Photowalking - you guys are good at this, so it's pretty much a done deal. :-P Macro/close-up Red shirt Landscape Nature Equinox/synchronicity (x2) - I thought it would be nice to do this twice, but I'm open to other suggestions. The equinox is near the end of March and September, putting some serious time constraints on those of us with other things to do. Having the relevant PUGs in May and November would give everyone ample time to edit. Etc - Yes, this is a theme. Walt Hamler proposed it and several people said something like Cool! Basically, one month devoted to whatever the hell you feel like shooting. A Super-PESO, if you will. As you can see, there is quite some overlap of themes, such as nature, macro and landscape, for example. I would expect nothing less than a very liberal interpretation from this group.

Re: Maximum capacity of SD card for the K-100D ?
They did, in a roundabout, cya, sort of way. 1.01 introduced support for SDHC, and 1.02 included improved support for SDHC (whatever that means). They never actually mentioned card capacity, only format. The SDHC standard (if one can call it a standard) supports cards from 4GB to 32GB. I'm not sure what's currently on the market, but you can definitely get 4 and 8GB cards. But like Godfrey said, make sure any card you buy with a capacity over 2GB has the SDHC logo on it.

Re: GESO -- Monarch Butterflies
P.J. - Very nice job. On of the best series I seen here in a while. Kenneth Waller http://tinyurl.com/272u2f - Original Message - From: P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GESO -- Monarch Butterflies It's getting on towards the time for the Monarch Butterflies to be starting their long arduous migration to the mountains of Mexico to over winter. They are congregating in large numbers to stock up on nectar for that long journey. I find it amazing that such delicate creatures can make this trip and return. These creatures are very hard to photograph on the wing as is evidenced by my first photo. I missed the focus because this guy, (or girl), landed and took off so fast that I decided to pre-focus where I thought it might land. The flowers are nicely in focus though. The second is nice, caught the one at the top of the frame just as it was coming in for a landing, though I was too far away, and I had to crop it by about 1/2 the frame. The Third photo, I should have focused on the nearest Butterfly, but instead I focused on the one on the right, after which all of them flew off. http://www.mindspring.com/~happydogsoftware/monarchgallery/gallerymonarchs.html Note: I've decided that the only solution to this is carbon tetrachloride. I think I hate butterflies.

GESO - Trip to the Arboretum
Walt, could you please add re: to your responses to other people's posts? I keep clicking yours thinking you're the original poster, but that's rarely the case. Then I have to find the original post to see the link, since you tend to remove it from your post. It would just be a heck of a lot easier if you added the re: like everyone else. Your email client should do it automatically (I've yet to use one that doesn't), but if it doesn't, perhaps there's a setting you could change to fix that? John John, I am adding the Re: in the subject lines on my replys but they come through without it added for some reason. Hope you don't think I am ignoring your request.
