Re: Protesting global warming
I appreciate your sentiment towards me. I really do. Here is the answer to your question, Cotty. Few points: 1. Not once and not twice I would send a message to someone off the list and they would not have received it timely and properly. So it is worth my and the other guy's while to post an additional message on the list, knowing that the mail system of the list is relatively reliable. 2. I don't like the idea of someone talking to me in public (on the list) and me suddenly going quiet. It does happen from time to time, but when I am aware of it, I'd rather bow out or finish off the conversation in a proper manner, especially if the discussion is somewhat heated. IMO, this is one of the acceptable ways to indicate that the public conversation is over. 3. Finally, it is a bit of hint or a clue to the readers (no offense, no particular finger pointing here) that perchance the discussion is too heated and it can be taken off list for further cooling off. I honestly don't understand the meaning of your I just went for a crap post, which you can either explain or not either on list or off it, but methinks you were not answering me directly, so it surely should not bother me all that much. I would appreciate the answer nevertheless merely for sake of learning a bit of English here, as likely it has some humorous content that I don't grok. I hope I answered your question.

Re: Sensor Cleaning
I've ruined film with canned air. It's a rare occurrence, but it can happen, so I'm definitely not going to use it on my sensor. The sterile rubber bulb gives a quick short blast that is nearly as powerful as canned air and guaranteed clean. Paul On Feb 8, 2011, at 1:36 AM, Walter Gilbert wrote: I've used canned air a couple of times, though I'm a little more leery of it than Bill R., mainly because I'm a tad paranoid about the idea of a freak propellant discharge. Usually, I use one of those nasal bulb aspirators (http://is.gd/l6xxr3) with a small hole punched in the back and a pet nursing nipple (http://is.gd/qXOmmK) attached to the end, trimmed back just enough to allow air to pass through it without too much effort, but small enough to make sure a fairly concentrated stream of air passes through, and to prevent any dust other debris from getting inside the bulb. The bulb set me back about two bucks, and I had the nursing nipple left over from feeding a puppy that lost its mother. I almost hit the floor when I saw the price of the sticky-type cleaning wands at the camera shop -- $89.00 if I recall correctly.

Re: GPS in Pentax DSLR [Re: New Pentax Stuff Announced (nothing major)]
That's not really how it works. Eye-fi uses skyhook's database. There's an explanation of how that was created here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/ In Igor's example the photos would be tagged as being taken in Houston, even though the Wi-Fi wasn't free. All eye-fi needs is the Wi-Fi hotspot's SSID to determine location. At least, as far as I understand it. Eric.

Or is the GPS h/w itself the battery hog? http://preview.tinyurl.com/34blok2 Looking through the web site (which sucks BTW) I found that it's not really GPS. It's something called WPS that uses nearby wi-fi networks to generate the location data. It captures data on nearby accessable wi-fi MAC addresses and adds them to the photo for uploading to Eye-fi's site. Once the photo is uploaded to their site, the MAC addresses are compared to the known locations of MAC addresses in their database and the long/lat are triangulated from those and downloaded to the card in the camera for addition to the EXIF. So I guess the answer to your question is the wi-fi can't be turned off independently and the GPS itself is the battery hog.

This photog was sending full raw 645D shots to Lightroom in about 5 seconds or less.

Thanks, David! Glad you liked the barn shots. It's a distinctive old hulk, to be sure. I actually considered using the RAW + JPG setting, but I only had a 2 Gig card in the camera at the time, and figured most of the shots were just going to be throw-aways. So, I figured I'd just take as many as I could, since I wasn't too concerned with composition. I was essentially just trying to capture my drunkard acquaintances looking goofy.

This is one area where shooting raw *really* pays off, with more dynamic range and headroom. -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. -- 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: Mini-GESO: Snowy Day Photo Walk - 2/7/11
This time, it was indeed intentional. ;-) From the north-side angle of the barn shots, the sky was a very flat, bland mass of strato-cumulus cloud cover, so I figured a little bit of vignette would add a touch of drama and bring out the highlights in the barn lumber. I just went ahead and added it to the other shots for thematic continuity. -- Walt On 2/8/2011 10:30 AM, Jack Davis wrote: If it's intentional, no problem, Walter. :) Jack --- On Tue, 2/8/11, Walter Gilbertldott...@gmail.com wrote: From: Walter Gilbertldott...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Mini-GESO: Snowy Day Photo Walk - 2/7/11 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail Listpdml@pdml.net Date: Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 8:26 AM Thanks, Jack!

2011/2/8 Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com: The wires support 480Mbps, yes, but once you load up the entire USB driver stack the resulting actual in-use speed is much less than that. Have you ever timed USB2 xfers? One word for them: abysmal. Call them what you like, Bruce... :-) We are in agreement over the relative transfer rates of USB2 and FireWire. True, my estimation of the achievable WiFi speed is based on my own use of it around the house, You have 802.11n base stations? Cool. :-) Only up to the g spec myself yet. However I find that the throughput is far less than the theoretical max for the protocol. When copying files from my laptop to the PC, connecting through the wireless network is just not an option. _that_ speed is abysmal. :-) but also from seeing a video demonstration of a 645D user xferring raw shots to LR via that card. This photog was sending full raw 645D shots to Lightroom in about 5 seconds or less. It takes a second or two for each of my much smaller K20D shots to copy from the SDHC card to the iMac through a USB2 card reader. Hmmm... The 645D raw files are 45-60 MB. To send a 50 MB file to LR in five seconds, you got to move 10 MB/s (80 Mbit/s). That's within the theoretical speed ceiling of 802.11n, but with full signal quality and no packet loss it can take only 20% overhead. I'm no expert on network protocol overhead, but it sounds like a tight fit even on a good day. Another limiter is that would require a SDHC card with minimum Class 10 speed rating. The EyeFi Pro card is Class 6. It's kinda hard to catch what the guy in the video is saying, g but my impression is that the five second uploads are from jpegs. I also get the impression that he change to raw files about 3 minutes into the video. The upload times are considerably longer then.

I used the original sensor brush from VisibleDust (http://www.visibledust.ca/) long before they offered many other products to do the job. Still have it ... it sits unused in a drawer. Since I went to FourThirds format cameras, I haven't had to clean anything in 50,000+ exposures. The SSWF sensor cleaning system is very nearly 100% effective at keeping any schmutz off the sensor and out of the photos.

RE: Semi-OT Photoshop RANT!
From: Bob W they do something similar, though not quite as bad, with Lightroom. It's to force you into buying a set of shitty books until you find one that's useful. B I've got the books, but they didn't answer the *simple* question ... I created a signature brush in Photoshop CS3. I have CS5 installed on a different computer. How do I copy the brush over to the new computer? I needed it to complete some assignments I have to turn in to class tomorrow morning. I ended up having to create a file with nothing but the signature on my laptop and copy that file over to the new computer so I could then make a completely NEW signature brush. It just really chaps my butt to have to recreate a tool I'd already created just because Adobe's developers have to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place! Wasting time I could have used getting the actual assignment ready. Help in CS5 *SUCKS*. There is no help file. You have to download a new updated version of Adobe Air every time you need to consult help. And then it doesn't even have a help file, it's just a new proprietary web browser specific to some Adobe product. And what it turns up are goddamn VIDEO advertising tutorials, so I have to wade through the bullshit from Adobe Photoshop convention to find out something that should be 5 lines of text. Create new layer, image, whatever Go to this menu Select this tool It works like this 4 lines of text. - No virus found in this message.
