Re: Effort Made To Restore Photography's Credibility
Whether you clone or not, depends on the purpose of the photography. Do you lean toward documentary or artful interpretation? Did you shoot so you could record the Bulgarian landscape as it now exists or were you trying to create an artful photograph? If the latter was your goal, by all means clone. Either is a worthwhile pursuit. But if pictures to hang on your wall or sell in a gallery are your goal, artful interpretation seems a more reasonable approach. It's an age old debate and one in which both sides can be right. Paul On Feb 26, 2008, at 10:55 PM, Doug Franklin wrote: Charles Robinson wrote: PS: I lied.

Re: Film in, digital out...
I agree. The Epson R2400 has made printing a no brainer when used with the Epson papers and profiles. I use Velvet Fine Art, Ultra-Premium Luster, and Enhanced Matte (which has a new name that I've forgotten. The Ultra-Premium Luster is used with the Photo Black ink, the other two with the Matte Black. But they all deliver great BW prints that are totally free of any color cast and show great grayscale gradation. Color prints are super as well, with better shadow detail and gradatin than I've seen from any other printer.

Yes, it's very funny. The first thing that popped into my head was about the right size for a cat, too. ;) So then I read the article. Forgive me if I missed something obvious, but it sounds a lot like they were at home and the snake took it's time with the dog. They tried to frighten it away. The dog is now food.

Re: OT: ROTFLMAO
Obviously you've never seen a python (or a chihuahua), in action. Unless the dog has had a close encounter with a snake it will have no fear. The snake can be very fast over short distances and only needs to grab part of the dog after that it's all over. I once witnessed an initial encounter between a medium sized dog, (35lb too big to eat), and a 4 foot python. Dog sniffing, moves up to the snake, snake is like a statue. At about three inches the snake strikes, dog yelps like it's being killed, the snake releases dog. Dog runs for the other side of the room, and stays there. That dog never approached the snake again. I doubt the chihuahua had a useful learning opportunity, since learning only helps if you survive it. Cotty wrote: Excuse me but there is something I'm not quite getting here. Dog = fairly mobile, should do a good 20mph even a small ratlike one. Python = large but slow out of water. Let's say about 2 or 3 mph? On the other hand, if the mobile dog couldn't escape the ponderous python, then Darwin does indeed deserve some credit. -- Vote for Cthulhu.

When I've testified in product litigation trials, a main point in the presentation of my inspection images was that I took the images they are a true accurate dipiction of what I saw on the day of my inspection. The images are only as credeable as the testifier. Therein lies the real problem though. With digital images so very easy to alter compared to a film image, all it takes is a less than honest expert testifier who has an agenda of his own to ruin someone's life. IIRC, the testifier has to be the person who took the photo. An expert witness might offer opinion, but photos presented without testimony from *the person who took them* don't carry nearly as much weight, whether they're digital or not. My S.O. testifies as an expert witness fairly often and brings her photos as exhibits; what they want to know is does this picture accurately depict what you saw. -- 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: Start-up lets you fix focus after snapping the shutter

Basically, it lets you turn a 12 megapixel out-of-focus image into a 3 megapixel in-focus image (I think the ratio was about 4:1). Interesting, but not very exciting. -- 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.

No cheap Pentax
It's funny but right now there is no really cheap, i.e., $500, Pentax DSLR. I have a friend thinking about moving to a DSLR, an the cheapest Pentax at BH is the K10D at $650. Nikon has the D40 for $500 and Olympus has the 510 ($485) and the 410 ($399). ( I just can't bring myself to recommend a low end Rebel.) At least I have no reservations about recommending the K10D.
