RE: Asking about stock agencies
You could try one of the microstock agencies, such as http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php. They are specifically intended for amateurs and low-volume contributions. Some people apparently make good money, but it seems to be mostly pin money. -- Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Boris Liberman Sent: 22 November 2007 02:18 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Asking about stock agencies Cotty, I realize that stock photography will not make me rich. This is just something I want to try. I am not as prolific and as consistent as it is required for what you have described. And of course I have my job that gives me a proper income. I just want to try, really. Thanks for your input! Boris P.S. We had a huge thunderstorm tonight. It is still raining now and I got to go out and start on my way to the airport for Prague... Yesterday in the news they said that in three days the monthly amount of rain fell down and it was *before* tonight's thunderstorm... Cotty wrote: Boris, I am registered with Alamy. I did it when I was on the staff of a large company, not being paid enough. I thought it would earn me extra income. I only have a few images submitted - but then it was all change at work, and my staff position was made redundant. I am now a managing director of my own company, and things are a lot better financially. Hence, I haven't added to my Alamy selection. I gather that to make a decent living at it, you have to be submitting on the order of dozens of shots per week. Alamy pays less than other agencies (they take a bigger chunk) but the arrangement can be more casual. I kind of liked that idea, seeing as I was not a full time photographer. Like with mosts things, the more you put into it, the more return you will see. To get an idea of saleable images, look at those that sell, and discover their attributes. You won't be buying any Ferraris from the income. I would say, get to know a small agency, get to know them well, and be extremely prolific - and be consistently good with it. The there's the remote chance your pics will sell. It's a flooded market - and more and more it looks like one-off royalty-free is the name of the (poorly-paid) game. People want something for nothing these days, and that spells a hard time for any creative.

Re: SV: One shot a week for 6-8 years
Why not? Sheesh, this stuff is not fragile. The first digital camera I owned, bought in 1997, is still working perfectly. It's the camera module sold for a Palm Vx. The Canon 10D I sold a couple months ago is dates from the beginning of 2003 years old, nearly five years old, the batteries are plentiful, and it worked still like it was brand new with 40,000 exposures on the clock. It will certainly work fine for its new owner for another five years. In 8 years you might not be able to buy film. Regardless of that, you'd be MUCH more likely to be able to process a set of digital captures from a couple of different cameras to all have the same white balance and rendering then you would 8 years worth of different batches of film, and with much less effort.

Re: Microsoft Access
Leopard represents a larger delta over Tiger than Tiger did over Panther or Panther did over Jaguar (for those who don't know the names, that's 10.5 over 10.4, 10.4 over 10.3, and 10.3 over 10.2). The backup system in particular, not to mention the security encryption options, are pretty darn complex. It also sounds like the install-over option is pretty fussy ... it always is. I never do install-over... None of this is new. Leopard is certainly still a bit immature, but I remember when Tiger (10.4) first came out. Same things were said in many places. It will be ironed out soon enough. It's still a far cry from the problems I've seen with early adopters of Vista. WinXP, with all its warts, is still much much much more stable 10 months after Vista's release. And there's much less new in Vista than there is in Leopard: they dumped all the cool stuff a year and a half back so that they could ship it within the decade.

Nikon D3 - FX and Pentax FF / DA crop
Weird subject but what I wanted to say is that perhaps DA lenses owners shouldn't worry all that much about future compatibility with full-frame pentax DSLR's. Like Nikon D3, future full frame Pentax cameras would automatically crop images to effective light circle of DX (for Nikon), DA (for Pentax) lenses. Reading Nikon D3 feature reviews made me realize Pentax can do it if Nikon did. Gorgeous captures to you all, in either FF or APS. Kind regards.

Re: SV: One shot a week for 6-8 years
I wouldn't even worry about whether or not a digital camera will last that long. As Godders said, It's simple to match digital exposures. I can't tell the difference between shots from my *istD and my K10D, and I'll be no one else her could either. This project should be shot in the simplest manner possible, or it will quickly become an albatross.

Sheesh, this stuff is not fragile. The first digital camera I owned, bought in 1997, is still working perfectly. It's the camera module sold for a Palm Vx. The Canon 10D I sold a couple months ago is dates from the beginning of 2003 years old, nearly five years old, the batteries are plentiful, and it worked still like it was brand new with 40,000 exposures on the clock. It will certainly work fine for its new owner for another five years. That is definitely _not_ certain. Quite likely, maybe. What is more likely is that, should it fail in 4years 9months time, it will not be a very simple task to replace it with an identical model, due the the very short retail lives of these things. In 8 years you might not be able to buy film. Regardless of that, you'd be MUCH more likely to be able to process a set of digital captures from a couple of different cameras to all have the same white balance and rendering then you would 8 years worth of different batches of film, and with much less effort. Think about it. As Jens has pointed out, he will be buying enough film for the project at the beginning. I would suggest buying processing capability, too. The real answer to this project, whichever system of producing it is chosen, is redundancy. More than one of whatever it is you are going to use. _That_ is much more important than the system used.

Re: Nikon D3 - FX and Pentax FF / DA crop
The more interesting question will be how does the Sony A900 (Strongly rumoured to be FF, with a lens line to match) handle SSS (SR). It could be a real issue with wides. Auto-crop isn't really new, Nikon introduced multiple crops with the D2X's HSC mode, and both the Sony A700 and the D3 have multiple crop modes (16:9 10MP for A700, 4:5 10MP and DX ~5MP for the D3). Note that the D3's quite low resolution in DX mode, really only a crutch for those whose 24-70 f2.8's and 14-24 f2.8's haven't shipped yet. -Adam Roman Melihhov wrote: Weird subject but what I wanted to say is that perhaps DA lenses owners shouldn't worry all that much about future compatibility with full-frame pentax DSLR's.

Thanksgiving
It's Thanksgiving day here in America. Yesterday was the busiest travel day of the year (or Sunday will be... it's neck and neck). All the airports and highways are usually clogged to the breaking point or beyond. Family members across our nation were stressed to the max trying to get their herds and shit together to make the trip to Grandma's or Aunt's house to have a family gathering that can be one of the best days of the year. Accidents happen. Weather happens. Cars break down. People get drunk. Inter-family fights that can cause rifts that last years or for ever...happen. People who have nobody might eat TV dinners alone. We Americans have hundreds of thousands or troops overseas. They and their loved ones are sad today and probably more than a little afraid. Holidays cover the whole spectrum. But there's turkey, stuffing , green bean casserole, cranberries and of course the NFL. So it's not all bad right? I had the turkey feast with my family last night. I'm working tonight because the Falcons (Atlanta's pro football team) have a game. It's the first time in my 35 years that I've not had turkey, family and football all together on this day. It's a little weird. But I cant *really* complain. I have a job that pays alright, a home that's warm or cool as the weather demands, more turkey than I can eat (where are those leftovers anyway?), and lots of family who love me. It's tradition on Thanksgiving to take stock of the things you're thankful for. I'm thankful for you lot. Admittedly, you're not in the top tier on my list evil grin Family and love take that spot pretty well. But my friends on this list and others on the internet are a nice piece of life. So thanks guys and gals for being there, being funny, being thoughtful (yes, really), and being friendly (mostly). Cheers.

IMO anything is possible including that this rumour isn't true. They migh have licensed that tech from Kodak but then supposedly they (Pentax) started working on that sensor for years now. Somehow I doubt it is Kodak tech or least not only that, it would have been easier then to ask Kodak to make the sensor rather than Pentax taking the trouble to design their own if the tech comes from Kodak anyway...

Re: Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate the day. I'm getting ready to roast my 35th turkey. All my kids are here, as are my mother and granddaughter (both of whom reside in my abode). Made the stuffing yesterday: bread cubes, sausage, white wine, apples, cranberries, mushrooms and lots of butter. I'll do the turkey at very high temperature for a short amount of time. Learned that technique a couple of years ago from an article in Gourmet magazine. It's fabulous. My wife does the pumpkin pies, sweet potatoes and all the rest. It's a no brainer. Enjoy.

Small points - SD card speed
Went photographing a charity 5K run this morning. Used the K10D and DA16-45/4. The first 50-60 shots went on a 1 Gig 133X speed card. I took the last few shots as the winner crossed the finish line. Then I changed SD cards and proceeded to shoot more finishers. The camera acted strange as I started taking bunches of photos. The buffer was locked up writing the RAW photos to the card. The battery began to show half full. The camera wouldn't let me take more photos! On further review, as I download the 2 Gig card to my computer, I notice that it is a 60X model, not a 150X. Wow was that a mistake! I've got two other 2 Gig cards that are 150X, but didn't grab them. The speed difference is noteworthy, and important. With the 150X cards, I've never encountered the wait to write to the card. Thought you might like to know.

Re: Thanksgiving
I've tried the breast down method. It works well, but turning over a big bird is a hassle. The high temp method is at 425 degrees for around two hours for a 14 pound bird. But I check it with a temperature probe and roast to 165 degrees. The breasts are as moist as with the breast down method. Gourmet mag did a test of about six methods a couple of years ago. They were absolutely certain that the high temp method would yield awful, dry meat. But it turned out to be the best. I put fruit or veggies in the cavity, but just a couple for a loose fit. This year I used two lemon halves, a few sprigs of rosemary and about half an onion. I coated it inside and out with olive oil, then applied a fennel and peppercorn rub to the outside. That probably doesn't affect the meat much, but it does great things for the pan drippings, from which I make gravy. I also make stock from the gizzards and neck. Combined with the pan drippings and just a bit of heavy cream, it makes a great gravy. Paul -- Original message -- From: Rick Womer [EMAIL PROTECTED] A no-brainer, but it makes an impressive mess. How high a temp do you use, and for how long? My favorite turkey-roasting trick is to roast it breast down for the first 3/4 of the roasting time, then flip it over to finish. It makes the white meat much juicier. Rick (family cook) --- Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate the day. I'm getting ready to roast my 35th turkey.

I never do install-over... None of this is new. Leopard is certainly still a bit immature, but I remember when Tiger (10.4) first came out. Same things were said in many places. It will be ironed out soon enough. It's still a far cry from the problems I've seen with early adopters of Vista. WinXP, with all its warts, is still much much much more stable 10 months after Vista's release. And there's much less new in Vista than there is in Leopard: they dumped all the cool stuff a year and a half back so that they could ship it within the decade.

Thank you Adam. The cropped (or DX) resolution for Nikon D3 is lousy 5.1Mp.

It's pretty different actually. The Fuji's have two sensor sites per bayesian pixel, one more sensitive than the other, but both are colour-filtered. They also rotate the grid array by 45 degrees to improve the interpolation. This increases the dynamic range the sensor can capture at the expense of absolute resolution. The Kodak sensor is a conventional bayesian sensor, but have replaced the bayesian filter array with one that intersperses pure luminance pixels in between the colour-filtered bayesian pixels. As these pixels lack the colour filters they are more sensitive and contribute lower-noise luminance data which is combined with the filtered pixels to generate the final image. The sensor is therefore more sensitive to light at the possible expense of some colour accuracy. -Adam -- 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.

Hint: 1963. As to Thanksgiving, Ashley and I are spending a quiet one at home more festive plans got foiled by my close friend's inlaws - but while it would have been wonderful to have a Thanksgiving dinner with one my closest friends and her family, I really don't mind missing the inforced joviality and so on. Oddly, the tradition of recent years was broken by another friend with many apologies as she and her sig other were invited out of town by one of his close friends. she was very relieved when I siad I honestly didn't care. Then her partner manged to injure himself at his work and they are not going anywhere. I had lots of time with close friends last weekend - and I loved it but it tired me. I took another friend to dinner at WHole foods last night. I made Turkin soup two days ago to have today... but instead went to Whole Foods and bought all the trimmings, but not turkey. Then I walked to Chinatown and bought half a fully cooked duck. I made myself a southwest version of Peking duck using blue cornmeal tortillas I had in the freezer instead of Manderin pancakes. I decided it was a great day to work on my internet stuff - pics and ebay sales and catch a few Scrabble games on line. The neighborhood is luxuriously quiet with all the NYU kids gone off, and the weather is a bit too nice for now . I have lots to be thankful for -- good health, good friends (even if my closest ones are not in NY right now) my sweet kitty cat, a roof over my head. And a new cell phone - alas, much too fancy for me, but it was necessary as I drowned the old one when I was up in the country for saturday and Sunday... I paid almost nothing for the new one, but I had to do a 2 year contract to get it.

Re: A 70-210 F4 assistance.
David, it's the rubber grip you roll back, not the ring itself: on my copy, it's quite flexible, although I had to use a tiny screwdriver to lift the edge to get a start on it.

Re: PESO: B-17 at Orlando Executive
It's been a busy time in my house, so I'm only now seeing some 4 week old posts. I hope Walter will forgive me if I muck about with his pic, but I felt that it was crying out for some help along the lines of the old Workshop Over (a) Week, or WOW, concept we had going a few years back. Firstly, that blown sky together with the desaturated shadows just lacks punch, and no richness of visible detail will compensate for that. So I tweaked the levels to get back to a full histogram. The remainder of the edit is too elaborate to go into details, but my general method is to put a correction layer below the current best layer, and optimize one aspect only of the picture, disregarding the quality of any other area. Then I erase that aspect from the top layer so that the optimisation will reveal itself. I'll repeat that as many times as there are improvements to be made, eventually every area will have been optimised to its own best result, while being absolutely unaffected by work in any other area. Partway through this edit I was tempted to go down the red shirt path but instead decided that selective local colour retention was better. So I got rid of colour distractions such as the blue 'copters and the tan beige colour scheme of the foreground spectator, and desaturated the overly vivid grass. Hope you like it, Walter, but if you feel violated by my intrusion upon your artistic prerogatives just say so and I'll retire the image (which BTW I've got well protected by dominant watermarks).
