Another wreck, maybe I'll get another photo credit
There's nothing quite like gettng caught in stopped traffic coming home, not being able to see around the bend, but being able to see the flashing lights of a bunch of emergency vehicles that seem to be in front of your house. I parked in the pullout 100 meters up the road from my house, walked home, grabbed the K20D, 18-250 and promaster flash (the af540 is waiting on parts at criscam). I found that what worked was to open the lens up all the way, take a test shot and crank the ISO up to whatever it took. The kid, who had just gotten his license, was driving. Something jumped in front of him, he swerved, lost it and ended up on his side. It's kamikazi deer season, so that's my guess.

Re: DA* AF problem - diagnostic opinions welcome
Stan, Good luck with the repair, I hope any separation from your equipment is short. You will like the 60-250. It was on my list for so long while I waited for it to come out that my wife happily let me buy it just to stop me saying how useful it would be in this particular situation (included a 3 month round the world holiday with 9,500 images taken - I know, I wasn't really trying). I skipped the K20 as not enough of a change from the K10, but I like the K7. Leon 2009/10/28 Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info: Anyway, as I meant to say in my previous blank message, thanks Leon. I am afraid you are right about the camera-lens interaction being the possible cause of the problem. One difference between the two bodies is that the one where I have the problem has the Battery Grip attached, the other doesn't. Will try it all again without grip before I send anything away. And thanks for the K-7 thought. But next on my list is the 60-250. Once I recover from that, I may consider the K-7. -- 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.

2009/10/27 John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com: From: David Savage 2009/10/26 John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com: From: David Savage Well I didn't take any photos, but I did get a good enough look at said lovelies to know that they are very real. This is a situation where the right choice of top has complemented her assets rather well. Pose and camera angle add to the illusion. It'd be 10 out of 10 if it didn't have the blown highlight. Not that I disagree, but what is it about the blown highlight that detracts? The highlights are very specular, and the way digital captures them makes them garish. The transition is so abrupt, like falling off a cliff. You lose the texture and distort the modeling of the face ... and other areas. Look at the right arm near the elbow. It looks like the forearm is just laying there detached from the model. It's not a criticism of the photo. The way digital handles blown highlights is just one of the realities of the medium that every photographer is going to have to deal with. This is a well composed, well posed photo. It does more than just present the obvious assets. I remember earlier in the thread you expressed the wish you'd had a large diffuser to soften the light. And I got the impression these model shoots are organized by a photo club of some kind. If you can't afford the diffuser yourself, maybe the club could invest in one for group shoots. But, if this was a workshop you paid to participate in, whoever organized the workshop should have had that diffuser available. Softer light would have helped make the highlights less specular and would have pushed the photo over the top. 10 out of 10 or maybe even goes to 11. Good points all. This was the free form session at the end of the workshop where we were basically pointed at the models, handed some lights reflectors and told put what you've been shown over the last day and a bit and see what you can come up with I admit I need more practice. Oh well.

Re: NAS
I'm planning to implement one NAS for my storage also. Custom made, and probably with replication over network to another NAS. If you have some unused older PC, with ports for SATA disks, then you can install Openfiler. Freeware. Otherwise, i have heard that Drobo, works good. NAS is attractive, because you can hide your loud HDD disks in another room, well ventilated, backed up by UPS. And leave only laptop or PC with one disk as front-end workstation. Hard disks don't like frequent power up/down. So it is better to split these functions, and you can get quiet living room during night :) Gasha Sylwester Pietrzyk wrote: Dnia 28 października 2009 2:57 Doug Franklin jehosep...@mindspring.com napisał(a): Have any of the PDML faithful tried using Network Attached Storage (NAS) for their photo archive?

My problem with the flash shots is just that I think the lighting is *too* even. I think you want to reveal more character, especially with male subjects, so you could use overall even light to illuminate the scene and some hard light from a smaller source angled to give his face more definition. Just my 2 cents, discounted for my own noob level. :-) -bmw -- 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: OT PC Surgery
There is also the argument that a mac last for many more years than a pc. They told me that overall my mac would last approx. 6 years. I may need to eventually get an external hard drive but the equipment part will last. When my dad figured out how much it costs and how many years it will last it was approx. 75 cents per day to own the machine... The guy at the mac store told me the same thing. I asked why I couldn't just pay him 75 cents per day as long as the machine worked. He really didn't take well to that idea. Help me support Autism research!

And you are Thanks. Though I have to repair the canopy today due to wind damage from yesterday. so lucky to be able to do outside portraits with a redwood background! (Any outside portraits I do right now would involve raincoats and bare trees.) Those could add character. My problem with the flash shots is just that I think the lighting is *too* even. I think you want to reveal more character, especially with male subjects, so you could use overall even light to illuminate the scene and some hard light from a smaller source angled to give his face more definition. The same has been observed about some of my earlier portraits. Working without the low ceilings makes it a bit easier to get lighting which isn't quite so flat. I should maybe try to use the key light without the umbrella. Just my 2 cents, discounted for my own noob level. :-) Noob just makes it harder to figure out how to fix it, but you can still tell what you do and don't like. And that's assuming you really are any more of a noob than me. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.

I suspect that its a strobe off to camera right, because the background is too evenly lit for it to be from a fill. I just went back to the main page and see that you're using a gold reflector. The model is gorgeous, the pose is nice and I pretty much like the level of lighting, but I find the weird mix of color balance a little unsettling. As I see it: There's sunlight on her left shoulder, from behind. That would be color balanced with the sand. Most of the light on her face is from a gold reflector, which seems a bit too gold to me. Her right arm and leg are in shadow, and color balanced a bit closer to the background. Am I close? The warm lighting is nice, but maybe a touch too much of a good thing. I'm also curious how it would look in black and white. There's also something weird about the out of focus background when I look at the large version of the photo, it doesn't seem so odd looking on the smaller one. Enjoy.

Re: OT PC Surgery
- Original Message - From: Sandra Hermann Subject: Re: OT PC Surgery There is also the argument that a mac last for many more years than a pc. They told me that overall my mac would last approx. 6 years. I may need to eventually get an external hard drive but the equipment part will last. When my dad figured out how much it costs and how many years it will last it was approx. 75 cents per day to own the machine... The guy at the mac store told me the same thing. I asked why I couldn't just pay him 75 cents per day as long as the machine worked. He really didn't take well to that idea. That's rubbish. My first PC is over 10 years old now and still ticking along on all original equipment. My second one is still in service, at 7 years of age, and my third one, which is now my back-up box still is working fine, although I had to replace a power supply that failed. (It turned out to be a cheap piece of junk, the replacement is good) As with everything, you get what you pay for. Mac is pretty much all proprietary, even with the switch to intel chips. You don't get to pick and choose component brands, you take what Apple gives you, and they aren't skimping. PCs have a much broader range of usable components, some very good, some very very bad. People choose to buy the cheapest crap they can, load an OS onto it and then watch their hardware melt down. Buy quality components and PC's are reliable machines, and are still less money than a Mac. Often, it isn't a machine going soft that causes it to be taken out of service so much as the computer world just advances far enough that it doesn't make sense to keep using the thing.

Re: OT PC Surgery
Most of that isn't true. And PCs are just as capable in terms of photo editing software as Macs. But a whole generation of photographers and art directors grew up on Macs, so they are still predominant in the graphic arts trades. The main advantage of a Mac these days is that there are far fewer viruses and spyware out there to haunt your computer. Macs still don't seem to be a target for the idiots.

The mouse on my iMac is actually a four button version with a scroll ball. My macbook has a smart finger pad that enables things like zoom simply by manipulating the pad. However, I still prefer a one- button mouse and usually turn everything else off.

Re: OT: Twitter client for Mac OS X
I use Twitter to follow news, e.g., pentaxusers, leica_camera, japanexposures, naraneko (Portuguese) and some photographers who 'tweet'. I guess I could use other ways to follow the news, but I got used to this method. BTW, I am sure that I have nothing important to say, so I don't 'tweet' (I have made seven 'tweets' exchanged with my only allowed follower, my older brother :-) My opinion about these kind of 'social networks', if anyone cares, is that they are a loss of my precious time, but I presume some people find them useful.

Re: OT PC Surgery
I can agree with what you said here too. I have a desktop that I bought in 2000 that works just fine except a disk is stuck in one of the drives, and nothing much works on ME anymore, I tend to forget about it unless I need music Help me support Autism research!

They told me that overall my mac would last approx. 6 years. I may need to eventually get an external hard drive but the equipment part will last. When my dad figured out how much it costs and how many years it will last it was approx. 75 cents per day to own the machine... The guy at the mac store told me the same thing. I asked why I couldn't just pay him 75 cents per day as long as the machine worked. He really didn't take well to that idea. That's rubbish. My first PC is over 10 years old now and still ticking along on all original equipment. My second one is still in service, at 7 years of age, and my third one, which is now my back-up box still is working fine, although I had to replace a power supply that failed. (It turned out to be a cheap piece of junk, the replacement is good) As with everything, you get what you pay for. Mac is pretty much all proprietary, even with the switch to intel chips. You don't get to pick and choose component brands, you take what Apple gives you, and they aren't skimping. PCs have a much broader range of usable components, some very good, some very very bad. People choose to buy the cheapest crap they can, load an OS onto it and then watch their hardware melt down. Buy quality components and PC's are reliable machines, and are still less money than a Mac. Often, it isn't a machine going soft that causes it to be taken out of service so much as the computer world just advances far enough that it doesn't make sense to keep using the thing.

Well composed timely shot, Christine. I also particularly liked the contrast of the purple scarf with the trees. Very nice. I also noticed that it was shot with the DA40. Yep, very much like the DA 40, but I still haven't shot enough with it to have the frame boundaries clear in my head yet. Sometimes I'm surprised by the fact that I have to move in closer than originally anticipated. I'll get there; I'm just not shooting enough with it.

Re: OT PC Surgery
From: William Robb From: P N Stenquist The main advantage of a Mac these days is that there are far fewer viruses and spyware out there to haunt your computer. Macs still don't seem to be a target for the idiots. And most who use both platforms consider the Mac interface quite a bit less clumsy than a PC. Does mac offer a real two button mouse yet? Every time I've asked that question, I've been told you can use any kind of mouse you want with a Mac, as long as it's USB. I couldn't get it to work on the school's Macs when I tried it though. Or at least I couldn't get the right button to function. Maybe there's something you have to set up that I couldn't access. My personal experience though is the Mac interface is not as user friendly as Windoze. And I am NOT a fan of Windoze by any means. I started off with DOS, and came to Windoze by way of OS/2 - I think IBM did a better job stealing Xerox's Alto GUI than either Micro$oft or Apple. But, while IBM was a great technology company, their marketing SUX ... although I think their anti-trust consent decree hampered them in the PC market more than anything else. They hesitated too often and too long for fear of running afoul of the Justice Department again. -- 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.
