Question About *ist D
I am about to sell my long-unused *ist D to a colleague, for whom it is all the camera she needs. She will probably shoot JPEGs. I always use PEF, and recall that *ist D JPEGs were criticized for being soft and lacking contrast. I would like to set the camera so that she'll be satisfied with the images. Does anyone recall what in-camera settings to use for sharpness and brilliance for this camera?

Re: Geso war of 1812 200th anniversary ceremonies in Stouffville
Okay, all glibness aside your question (as you likely know) has no easy answer. The Americans think they won, and they kind of did: they repulsed the invasions of the European imperial power from whom they wrested independence barely 35 years prior. The colonists of British North America (present day Canada) think they did because they resisted the invasions of those land-hungry Americans who wanted to annex British North America (or so Canadians thought). The British didn't lose BNA to those upstart Yanks, but more important (to present day Canada, at least), England realized that sending its army over here every time there was some stupid war would be a very expensive long term proposition. They very seriously started considering how they might unload us, which pretty much led directly to our independence only 53 years later. (okay, it took a while but things moved much slower back then). On paper the war was a stalemate (the Treaty of Utrecht left the borders virtually unchanged) but each side could claim bragging rights and it did have an impact on North America's development. I know your question was tongue in cheek, but I thought there might br those out there, especially in places other than this hemisphere who might not know why Stoufville had parade. ;-) cheers, frank What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Kenneth Waller kwal...@peoplepc.com Sent: June 17, 2012 6/17/12 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: Geso war of 1812 200th anniversary ceremonies in Stouffville So who won ? -Original Message- From: David J Brooks pentko...@gmail.com Sent: Jun 17, 2012 10:23 AM Subject: Geso war of 1812 200th anniversary ceremonies in Stouffville http://www.caughtinmotion.com/2012-1812/album/index.html Not a big parade by santa claus standards, but was interesting to see and photograph.

RE: Geso war of 1812 200th anniversary ceremonies in Stouffville
It's little wonder that our War of 1812 is not remembered on your side of the pond. As you said, Britain was far more concerned with what was going on in Europe with Napoleon. Ours was little more than a local skirmish involving a couple of thousand ex-pat farmers. Until the European war ended Britain only sent around 2,000 troops over here; after Nappy was finally dealt with another 8,000 or 10,000 were dispatched. One can imagine how much that would have cost! The only reason England got British North America in the first place was so the French wouldn't have it. I'm sure that if you Brits would have foreseen the American Revolution you wouldn't have bothered with Canada at all. Besides, once beaver hats went out of style in Europe our economic advantage diminished considerably. So in reality the War of 1812 was little more than a financial drain for England. No wonder you don't care to remember it. As an aside, I remember as a child expressing surprise that Tchaikovsky would write an overture about a North American war. My father informed me that there was another war going on at the same time which was just a bit more important to the Russians. ;-) cheers, frank What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Bob W p...@web-options.com Sent: June 17, 2012 Few people over here in the old imperial power have ever heard of the 1812 war.

In short, if your scene has a bright light source like a specular reflection or a streetlight at night the sensor will render the bright spot as a sharp edged circle, especially at iso 100. I gather most CMOS sensors do this to some extent but the problem was pretty obvious with the X10. The web reaction became so severe that Fuji developed a replacement sensor and offered to swap it out. I just got my x10 back from Fuji and it's a whole new camera with a new serial number. Given that the new batch of SN starts with 2 it's going to be hard to sell the older ones that start with a 1. This could be really expensive for Fuji. Just to mention, the problem didn't bother me too much but some test shots show that the orbs are much better and about the same as the E-PL1. Thanks for the info Steve. I'll look into getting mine sorted - although never noticed the orbs that much. But like you say, residual value will be higher so worth doing. Interestingly, I've just bought a GoPro wi-fi bacpac - even though I don't have a GoPro yet!! It means that when I do get one (next month hopefully) I can beam live viewfinder info to my iPhone for use when setting up the camera remotely on the front of (say) a canoe, or when using remotely on a pole etc. Quite exciting!

The Americans think they won, and they kind of did: they repulsed the invasions of the European imperial power from whom they wrested independence barely 35 years prior. The colonists of British North America (present day Canada) think they did because they resisted the invasions of those land-hungry Americans who wanted to annex British North America (or so Canadians thought). The British didn't lose BNA to those upstart Yanks, but more important (to present day Canada, at least), England realized that sending its army over here every time there was some stupid war would be a very expensive long term proposition. They very seriously started considering how they might unload us, which pretty much led directly to our independence only 53 years later. (okay, it took a while but things moved much slower back then). On paper the war was a stalemate (the Treaty of Utrecht left the borders virtually unchanged) but each side could claim bragging rights and it did have an impact on North America's development.

There's a free editor available on the GoPro website for download to GoPro users (although there's no strict check on ownership so I suppose anyone can get it). I can't comment on its usefulness because I haven't installed it yet. There's also a free editor called VideoPad that I have used and does a good job, but whatever you do DON'T INSTALL THE MIXPAD AUDIO MIXER that is offered in the software suite when you install. It isn't part of the freeware, but it refuses to uninstall when its trial is over :-( This video was edited with VideoPad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlVEoHO4x6Q Please don't watch it at the default 360p setting, it'll be rubbish. Click on the cog and choose at least 480p, but 720p and fullscreen is definitely nicer. It was also my first try at video editing, and I could have managed some of the transitions better, like when passing traffic vanishes. I should have made the cuts when the road was empty. I shot it about two hours after I unpacked my GoPro Hero. It's a first generation HD Hero which is of course cheaper than an HD Hero2 and gives a good account of itself in good lighting. The new models have much less noise when the light gets dimmer, if that's an issue, and have higher resolution in still camera mode (11MP v 5MP). The extra megapixels don't translate to higher video resolution but apparently are used to allow digital zooming without a need to interpolate upwards at narrower FOVs. The higher image quality makes me suspect that they interpolate DOWNWARDS at the wider FOVs, which cleans up the image a lot. They also give higher frame rates in still image multishot modes. Incidetally, I'm using a laptop as my main computer, ever since my last desktop fell over and I never bothered to replace it. It's a few years old now and is only good for streaming video at 720p. At 1080p it only streams a few seconds then drops a bunch of frames while it catches up. The funny thing is that it''ll play back a YouTube video at 1080p without a problem, but it grumbles about playing 1080p off a local drive. regards, Anthony -- 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.

All terrific; my have is the cyclist. It would be a great photo if it were just the cyclist, but that perspective with the crowd far below is amazing. And that shadow! Wow!

GESO: Front Porch Photography -- 6/16/12 (13 images)
Hi all, I finally dusted off the cameras this morning after a long period of dormancy brought on by a creative funk of sorts. All of the photos were taken when I got home this morning, except for the photos of the woman, who I met at a party last night. I'm on about 36 hours of no sleep, so bear with the repetitiveness of the mourning dove shots, of which I took as many as I could because I've never had one allow me to get anywhere near as close as that one did -- it was easily within arm's reach at times. Shot with the K20D fitted with my Sigma 24-70/3.5-5.6 and my K-x fitted with my Promaster 70-300/4-5.6 http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157630171211140/ Apologies again for the repetitiveness, but I just didn't want to stop shooting once I was able to get as close to the dove as I did. Comments, suggestions and critiques are, as always, welcome. Thanks! -- Walt -- 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.
PESO Bass Trombone
A friend and I went to see a couple of bands at a local club last night. I managed to get a few decent photos. The lighting was a bit challenging. In this shot, rather than trying to bring it under control, I went the other way and used lightroom's clarity, vibrance etc. to push it right over the top: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/7391897310 For them that are interested, here's the rest of the set: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157630171300160/ On some of them I tried to tame the lighting in lightroom, in others I went with it, though not so radically as above. Comments, and helpful suggestions, as always, are appreciated. I notice that I was having a fair amount of difficulty with flare on the A*200, even when stage lights weren't in the field of view. I may need to make something like a lens cap for the sunshade, that has a rectangle cut out to block anything not in the field of view. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.
