OT: Rotties. Re: [meta] Reply-to list (was Re: FS: Low-mileage K-7 body, WR kit zoom, Tamron 24-135 lens)

My daughter-in-law is a special ed teacher who had 'behavior disorders' classrooms until this year. She is probably better with the dog than he is, certainly better reading the dog. But all good advice and insights from you. A few more things about the breed. They can be quite reticent around strangers, which is a huge temperament difference from what you would be getting from a Golden. I think with Rotties, it is really important to meet the parents and see if you like them, as the apple tends to fall quite near the tree with dogs. They tend to be accepting of people that their people are accepting of, but an approaching stranger who his person doesn't know may not be well received. Lots of socialization early on is really important with Rotties. One of the problems that Jester plagues us with is because he didn't get a lot of early socialization. A good way to get your Rottie to accept a person faster is to take the person's hand in yours and take it down to the dog's nose, showing the dog your hand, then turning it to the other person's hand, and then hold both hands in front of the dog's nose for a few moments. The dog gets both scents and will tend to discriminate the scent of the other person as a good thing. You might find this interesting. Apparently there is a link between black tan coloration and what is called resource protectiveness, which is what gives breeds like Rotties, Dobermans, GSDs and other breeds their advantage as guards. A friend of mine has a black and tan male Chihuahua. The dog is an excellent guard, given that he weighs all of 6 pounds. I stay out of his way, I'm not part of his Clan, and he attacks and bites pretty much anyone who isn't family. Really, he is an extreme example of black and tan temperament. All three of my Rotties have been very good with kids. The breeder that Jester came from had 5 Rotties living with three young kids in a not overly large house. When we did birthday party shows with the kennel club, I would often find a little kid to give Leica to for a while. It didn't matter how badly the child gave commands, Leica would do what she was told to do. As long as you could coach the kid into saying Leica, Heel at the beginning, it didn't matter what happened after that. She had been told to heel, and that was what she did until told otherwise. She would obey commands that were inadvertently said by the television. One time at a class I was in, the instructor told us to teach our dogs a new trick for the next class. The next morning as I was getting dressed, Leica was sitting beside me, and I took a sock and put it over her nose. There was my trick. A few times of saying Leica, Sock, and putting the sock on her nose, and she was pushing her nose into the opened sock. After that, it was a simple case of combining it into a recall, and the next week, I sat my dog on one side of the room, walked across the room, held a sock open and called Leica, Sock. She dutifully came across the room, stuck her nose in the sock and sat in front of me with a really put upon expression. It was the best trick ever. Soft female dogs are really easy to get along with. best bill -- 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: Any new flagship camera rumors?
Price is not the deciding factor in my continuing to buy Pentax. It is my history with the brand, my lens cabinet(s), my familiarity (for the most part) with the operation and handling of the various bodies and lenses. If I want (need?) a piece of gear and I can afford it at the time, I get it. If I can't, I don't. I'm retired. Shoot every day in one form or another. Worry about what my photo-dumb sisters will do with all this gear when I die. Ada would just throw it out. Lucy would have it appraised, and be disappointed in the total price. Hung a Hummingbird Feeder off the deck last weekend, so spending a lot of time finding out how to capture the tiny beasties with pixels. They are pretty smart little creatures. If I'm inside, they come up to the window and shoot looks from several angles to see if I'm hunting them, and perhaps to ascertain where the dogs are. Ot they could be preening in their reflection. chp, chp. On Jul 17, 2013, at 07:40 , Tom C wrote: You may not get an MRI on every patient with a tummyache, and that's a good thing. However having the MRI machine available is good, n'est-ce pas? Having more advanced technology in the future than whatever is current state of the art no doubt will have it's benefits also. A market must exist for something better or companies will not be incentivized to produce something better. Needs vs. desires vs. what becomes the accepted norm or state of the art, are three different things. It's no one's responsibility to purchase a company's products. I'm not suggesting you or anyone else fork over your hard earned income to any company for products you don't want. Pentax is in an unenviable spot, being widely perceived as a bargain brand. That's of course good for those that either can't or don't wish to spend more money. It's not so good for Pentax (Ricoh). When a brands customer base consists largely of people who want a lot for a little, it's like tying the corporate hands behind the corporate back. Having capital to invest in developing new products is achieved largely by selling current products at a decent margin. Notice the trend of so many to say what they have is 'good enough'? Pentax loses. Notice the trend of so many to wait a year or more until there's massive price cuts on the newest model Pentax camera? Pentax loses. Notice the trend of so many to purchase used gear as opposed to new? Pentax loses. Then there's those that put there money elsewhere because they're not getting what they want from Pentax. Pentax loses. There's nothing wrong with any of those actions and all are justifiable. Still - Pentax loses. So collectively, many of those people that love their Pentax gear because of the perceived value are the same people who, in essence, are limiting the profits and therefore the ability to produce meaningful new and better products. It's a gradual slow downwards spiral. End.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
There are still 1 hour places prevalent here and one lab that does 120 C41 and E6, but only once a week. The other lab that did it in house abruptly stopped when their machine broke and could not be repaired, and I expect that might be ultimate end of local 120 developing at this lab as well. Fortunately for the owner he has diversified into a field that should be immune to changing technologies - he's running a couple of successful pubs in addition to the film lab.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
If you have a lab in your area, see if they will give you some of the plastic film canisters (with lids) that they normally toss. There are probably a lot fewer of them these days, but a lab will still be the accumulator. Hopefully they haven't gotten precious enough to CHARGE for. But then you can put a piece of masking (or painter's) tape on the lid and label THAT. The canister provides other obvious protections, as well. I'd also add that if you are rolling different sizes that it is also important to put the number of FRAMES on your label.

Re: just got FA 50mm f 1.4 back
Agreed, Bruce. This lens is amazing. I too was reminded of this when I went through my Lightroom library to determine when I purchased the lens. Using the metadata, I filtered for lens type and pulled up all shots taken with the 50-135. Many I had forgotten about, but was pleased by what I saw. Years ago I had taken a series of portraits of my best friend and was reminded of its stunning quality. Most of my shots with this lens were taken on the K10D and K20D, though lots of shots were made last summer in England with the K5--I can still remember the wind up at Hadrian's Wall. So it's time to put it on the K-5 and make some pictures. Can't wait till I get it back!

Christine that is a fantastic shot! Love it! Angle and light is great. Expressions wonderful! I have a friend who has a friend who does family portraiture in people's homes. It's understood by all that when shooting portraits in the house--especially of kids--the photographer may have to return a time or two--especially when the goal is candid environmental portraits. The photographer also has to check out the light, how it moves around the house/environment etc., which again could require more than one visit to the house--though you probably wouldn't want to burden the family with endless shooting dates. I think you got a great shot! I suppose it's important to get some traditional shots--people like that--and I've come to believe in a historical-family-sense it's important, but I prefer the more less-traditional shot like the one you've taken here. Great work! Cheers, Christine On Jul 17, 2013, at 3:44 PM, Christine Nielsen ch...@inielsen.net wrote: Last week, I had the opportunity to shoot newborn twins.

Peso The annual plowing demo
David your photos are very nostalgic and beautiful. Needs to be preserved for posterity. It makes me happy to be a part of Ontario as I often travel between Toronto and Guelph and enjoy rural life all the way. I do hope more younger folks keep up the tradition as I see only happy old timers in the photos. But that is the bane of our civilization today I suppose. At least we photographers can move out more often to our villages to document colorful rural life. And that includes me too. Regards.

Re: Peso The annual plowing demo
Dave, Very enjoyable set of photos. On the first one, I have a question about the hitch. It seems only the two horses on the right are in harness to pull. Am I missing something? Beautiful horses. Great having the farm buildings in there too. And I didn't realize Massey made equipment that could be horse drawn. I lived and worked in Racine, Wisconsin for 10 years. J.I.Case was still making equipment in town, but Massey, McCormick, ... all had old factory buildings in town. They made and shipped out the farm implements to tame The Prairie. And the old farmers are just wonderful. Nice picture, but what they represent is powerful. Glad you were able to document them. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Any new flagship camera rumors?
On 19/07/2013 2:01 PM, Tom C wrote: I also agree that the legacy lens advantage is pretty much non-existent. It's interesting that you should say that, and kind of ironic in a way. The reason why legacy lenses are not an advantage is because they are less convenient to use (manual focus, green button kludge, etc), and yet people happily go out and buy adapters to put legacy lenses onto their cameras from other brands. Look at the number of adapters you can get to put legacy glass onto 4/3 cameras. I suspect that every brand ever made can now be mounted to a 4/3 camera via an adapter. I bought an adapter to allow mounting K-mount glass onto my Q, and, being the not so bright person that I am, did exactly the same thing when I bought my Fuji. And you know what? It's a pain in the ass. Sure, the thing mounts, and you can take a picture with it if you want to go to the effort, but why bother? I could almost see it if you had a bunch of Canon FD lenses around, as it would be a way to put them to use again, since Canon decided their user base was a liability in the mid 1980s and abandoned them, but really, if you have an ability to mount the lens to a camera that it is compatible with, just mount it to that camera. Putting an A series lens onto my K5 means I lose a bit of functionality, mounting it onto my Fuji or my Q takes me from functionality loss to wanting to slash my wrists to make the misery go away. Even using an older non A series lens on the K5 is easier than on the Fuji or Q. I would say that as long as there is a market for adapters to mix and match brands of lenses onto other makers' cameras, the advantage of legacy lenses exists to a reasonable extent, though it won't be apparent to a new user who just bought his first DSLR and kit lens. bill -- 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: PESO: Amaya II
Thank you, Bob. If I'm not mistaken (my memory of the layout at that location is a tad sketchy) that's a war memorial monument. The spot is located between the county courthouse and city hall, and there's a fountain in the center with various flower trees, shrubs and planters around it. It's actually a decent place to take photos if you can keep other people out of the background. But, yes -- I see what you're talking about. It's not quite enough to ruin the shot, but just enough to make me wish I'd framed it a wee bit differently. -- Walt On 7/20/2013 12:43 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Walt, Very nice photo and little to criticize.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
I used to use small self adhesive labels.

PESO: First test shots with Uniplus Tube 25 DA 16-45mm
This is a bit different for me. Instead of curating (at all) this set is just a DUMP of all jpegs straight from the camera (including the rejects) that I shot while walking the dog with my K-5ii, Uniplus Tube 25 and the DA 16-45mm f4. Virtually all of these were taken at the 45mm end and I believe my aperture on all shots was f/8 (ISO 800). Most of them are crap (or to be nice unremarkable) but there were a couple of keepers in there.

Re: Any new flagship camera rumors?
Which is the argument for the thing that shall not be mentioned. It would make using K and M glass about as easy to use as A glass is now. Which is to say, no more difficult that it was to use when those lenses were first manufactured. I remember when I bought my MX, my second or third accessory was a genuine M42 to K adapter. I think I used my M42 mount lenses on that camera a few times, but mostly I used them on the Spotmatic until in a fit of simplification frenzy I sold it, cheaply, just to get rid of it. On 7/20/2013 1:38 PM, Bill wrote: On 19/07/2013 2:01 PM, Tom C wrote: I also agree that the legacy lens advantage is pretty much non-existent. It's interesting that you should say that, and kind of ironic in a way. The reason why legacy lenses are not an advantage is because they are less convenient to use (manual focus, green button kludge, etc), and yet people happily go out and buy adapters to put legacy lenses onto their cameras from other brands. Look at the number of adapters you can get to put legacy glass onto 4/3 cameras. I suspect that every brand ever made can now be mounted to a 4/3 camera via an adapter. I bought an adapter to allow mounting K-mount glass onto my Q, and, being the not so bright person that I am, did exactly the same thing when I bought my Fuji. And you know what? It's a pain in the ass. Sure, the thing mounts, and you can take a picture with it if you want to go to the effort, but why bother? I could almost see it if you had a bunch of Canon FD lenses around, as it would be a way to put them to use again, since Canon decided their user base was a liability in the mid 1980s and abandoned them, but really, if you have an ability to mount the lens to a camera that it is compatible with, just mount it to that camera. Putting an A series lens onto my K5 means I lose a bit of functionality, mounting it onto my Fuji or my Q takes me from functionality loss to wanting to slash my wrists to make the misery go away. Even using an older non A series lens on the K5 is easier than on the Fuji or Q. I would say that as long as there is a market for adapters to mix and match brands of lenses onto other makers' cameras, the advantage of legacy lenses exists to a reasonable extent, though it won't be apparent to a new user who just bought his first DSLR and kit lens. bill -- There are two kinds of computer users those who've experienced a hard drive failure, and those that will. -- 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: Bulk Film Loading
When I was spooling my own 35mm the crimped ends of the Kodak canisters were very difficult to remove, though earlier Kodak canisters were made differently and easily reusable, I had a couple. Ilford canisters were very easy to re use and seemed to be made for that from the start.
