Re: How do you photograph dark skinned people?
Virtually all of the answers so far have focused on exposure only and not lighting. I found this article to be very informative. http://www.nyip.edu/photo-articles/archive/photographing-people-of-color The secret is to create lots and lots of highlights on dark skin. This can be done with reflectors or side lighting. From experience, I know that using a strobe from the side would also be very effective if a wedding dress was in the photo. The side light shows the dress in relief (which highlights and preserves folds and details). In fact, a single on-camera strobe is probably the worst way to show off a white wedding dress.

They calibrated it to factory specs and it now performs very, very well for this kit lens! A weather resistant lens, it's a great match on the weather-resistant K-7. $100. Tamron SP 24-135mm f/3.5-5.6 macro AF aspherical (IF) lens, includes front and rear caps and Tamron soft zippered case, EX condition. This is a film-era lens and is therefore technically full frame.

Wonderful. They are beasts, Don. As a child of few years I've been scared and surprised when a blast of steam enveloped me in the station (NY or Chicago). I'm old enough to remember the stations being filled with steam, and the wonder of the new Diesel-Electrics and how quiet they were in comparison. Now, D-Es are the norm, making us old guys pine for the old days. Except for dirigibles.

(True story - the friend called me just a few minutes ago, giggling and gleeful... just after the punchline .) A friend of mine in the Boston area was driving into the city to his doctor for a checkup/followup appointment. He was going to have an MRI, for which he was told to drink a large glass of water an hour before the test. As he was driving along, he was thinking about it and worried a bit he might get distracted and forget to do it. The radio was on in the car. Just at that moment a commercial comes on for a local company that manufactures plate glass - and the guy on the radio says, This is Dennis Drinkwater from Giant Glass. ann -- 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.

FS Friday: *ist-D - D-BG1 - FA J 18-35,
Feeling really ambivalent about this, but I have the K10D to back up my K20D and I don't think I'm ever going to use the *ist-D the way it should be used. It's currently relegated to the shelf in the closet only gets used I can remember to pull it down, put it together run a few frames to make sure it's still working. I have all of the original packaging with the inserts; manuals, literature software. I replaced the original flimsy translusent plastic push in body cap with a genuine Pentax body cap K (the kind that fits the bayonet snaps in like a lens). The only thing missing is the Hot shoe cover Fk, which I'm still looking for may yet turn up. I want $250 USD (+ shipping) for the lot I won't split it up. Whether it goes to someone on the list, someone on Craigslist (a week from today if no one here wants it) or goes back into my closet, it's all going together.

Re: GESO Steam tarin people equipment
There is a certain romance n dirigibles, and excitement, what with the possibility of fiery death and all. On 7/12/2013 1:30 PM, Joseph McAllister wrote: Wonderful. They are beasts, Don. As a child of few years I've been scared and surprised when a blast of steam enveloped me in the station (NY or Chicago). I'm old enough to remember the stations being filled with steam, and the wonder of the new Diesel-Electrics and how quiet they were in comparison. Now, D-Es are the norm, making us old guys pine for the old days. Except for dirigibles.
