Re: k-3 fine focus adjustment

2013-12-22 Thread Paul Stenquist

That’s pretty much how I do it, but I don’t use mirror lock up because I want 
to be looking through the view finder so I can be sure the center dot is right 
on my target line when the shutter opens. I made my own grid in PhotoShop. One 
slightly thicker rule in the middle, about 2mm in width a with a series of ten 
one mm lines positioned to either side of it, each about 1.5 cm apart. When 
lines two thrtee and four on each side of the sharp center line are equally out 
of focus, you know you’ve nailed it.

 Hmm, not sure what Bob's grid looks like, but I have had good success with a

 that is printed out with a laserprinter, and has a high-contrast horizontal 
 dark line in the center as a focus target.
 
 It is only a few millimeters wide, and important, there is NOTHING above and

 on this line and nothing else. The line is perhaps 5 centimeters or 2 inches 
 wide.

 various patterns but more importantly has
 a series of numbers with 0 in the middle, en going down to -20 or so and +20 
 on the other side.
 
 What I do to adjust focus for a lens is:
 
 - Put camera with lens on a tripod, and position it such that it 'sees' the 
 piece of paper withy the target at an angle between 30 and 45 degrees,
 at a distance that is suitable for the lens, usually between 50 cm and 
 perhaps 3 meters, depending on focal length. It is important to make sure
 the focusing target and a significant part of the 'ruler' area are in the 
 frame, and large enough ...
 
 - Set the camera to use the 2-second delay (which also does a mirror-up on 
 K7/K5/K3)
 
 - Set the lens to it maximum aperture, wide open (for minimum depth of field)
 
 - set the lens to infinity, then let if autofocus on the target line (using 
 center, spot focus)
 
 - Take the shot, then use the review/display to judge focussing.
   (You COULD do this after downloading to the computer, but that takes too 
 much time for me)
 
 - Look at the ruler, ENLARGED at least 8x, and pan over it to see if the 
 focusing/fuzziness is
 distributed evenly around the ZERO mark (usually it is NOT)
 
 - When the area of best focus id BEFORE the target (front focusing), dial in 
 a small negative value (like -3 or -4)
  for the correction (and I always use APPLY ONE, because I want to have 
 specific correction per lens)
 
 - When best focus is BEHIND the target (BACK FOCUSSING), dial in a small 
 postive value.
 
 - Repeat the test, and keep adjusting until the area that is the sharpest is 
 centered around the ZERO marker.
 
 
 So I do NOT take a lot of shots in one go, then evaluate, I take one shot, 
 evaluate on the back display, zooming
 the magnification and panning around the image/ruler, then decide on the 
 correction to apply.
 
 A bit trial and error, but this is what has worked best/fastest for me on the 
 K7, K5 and now the K3 ...
 
 
 For zoom lenses, I tend to use the longest focal length (has lowest depth of

 depending on the lens,  you could also use your 'most used' focal length.
 
 For macro I try to use a smaller subject distance, but that may require a

 For extreme tele, you could even use an outside target, like a row of

 as you make sure the camera has a single edge/line like thing to focus on,

Re: k-3 fine focus adjustment


Hi Jan

Many thanks for the tutorial. I'm sure it will be of use to others too. 
This is the link for Bob Atkins test chart:


http://bobatkins.com/photography/technical/lens_testing/reschart.zip

It has plenty of grids, etc. but no ruler.

I more or less did as you suggest but the chart was set at 90deg, not 45; 
coupled with the fact that I have only slow consumer lenses (Min apertures 
from 3.5 - apart from the Super Tak 50/1.4). At first I thought the range 
from -10 to +10 might be covered the DOF but shouldn't be with the Tak at 
f1.4.


I'm still a bit perplexed but will try it again with a different chart 
(incorporating a ruler) or a row of bricks set up like dominos (at 45deg)  
see what happens.


There is a lot of truth in Bill's comment that f8 is my friend if you only 
have slow lenses.


Best regards,  thanks for all your trouble.

Not an operation I'm going to do on a whim, and certainly not while

This is something they could fix easily by allowing the user to choose 
which screen comes up when the info button is pressed. Right now it 
defaults to the menu screen, they could just as easily make it default 
to the last screen viewed (menu, status or level). The few quibbles I 
have with the K3 relate to this sort of behaviour on the part of the camera.

Hi Godfrey:

Well, very interesting.  From Lightroom, I exported a frame to the desktop,

 Thanks to everyone who commented. In general, this just another
 30-second-long-exposure-of-a-mountain-stream shot, but I do like the
 way the composition works with the bright area of distant trees and
 leaves in the upper right continuing the diagonal of the water.
 Several people commented on the color of the leaves in the background
 and it does help this shot greatly. We so often like to discuss
 composition, camera technique, lens quality and post-processing when
 talking about what makes a good photo but the quality of light –
 something over which we have no control in situations like this – is
 usually what makes or breaks an image. I was lucky here. Or, more
 accurately, I've kept going back to this spot over and over for years
 until the luck and light were with me :)

Re: OT: Epson/Mavericks Printing Question for R2880

It sounds to me like a print template/printing configuration problem rather 
than an app problem. When you went to print from Lightroom, did you exercise 
both the Page Setup then Print Settings dialogs?

The Page Setup dialog establishes the printer, print size and image orientation 
- once you set those up, you should run through the print settings by going 
down the RH panel to be sure margins and such are all set up correctly. Then do 
the Print Settings dialog to be sure the printer knows what paper weight and 
feed mechanism you're using. 

If you re-do your setup that way (don't skip any steps), save a new template, 
and still have a problem with the output, then it might be that your Lightroom 
5 installation is missing something or some piece of the Print module data is 
corrupted or missing. At that point, I'd try re-installing Lightroom.

Re: k-3 fine focus adjustment

2013-12-22 Thread Paul Stenquist

Highly  complex targets with cool graphics work, but so does a simple system of 
lines with the center line readily identifiable. I made a chart in PhotoShop 
comprised of a series of lines about a centimeter apart. The target line in the 
center is thicker than the others. With the camera at a 45 degree angle to the 
chart, I autofocus on the center line with center spot selected for focus. This 
test is the FA 50/1.4 with my final +2 adjustment. Note the varying degrees of 
out of focus as the lines progress. The fourth line on each side is the first 
to be critically out of focus. Thus, the center is identifiable. I shot this at 
f2.5, as I've found that results with this lens wide open can be misleading. 
But most other lenses are tested wide open, particularly the DA* lenses, which 
are engineered to be optimum at wide aps.

Terrible freezing drizzle preceded this. And continued while I was out

I missed shooting any other stuff because I had to go rescue my 90-yo
father whose house had gone dark and was getting _very_ cold. Falling
tree limbs have killed power to 250,000 Torontonians and the power
company has no idea when it will be restored. Looks like I'll have a

Nope. I get my E6 processed by Dwayne's Photo and pay an extra five
bucks for scans. They're only around 900dpi (~2500 x 2000 pixels) but
good enough for small prints and web presentation.

I can get slightly better resolution with my Minolta Scan Multi II but
it's a lot of time and work to get up to just 1125dpi. 

I'm looking into local scanning services for the shots I want to print
big but I'm also considering one of these:

Won't be able to tell until I get some high-res scans (the Kodak
Picture CD scans I got with the slides are ~900dpi). If I get the
3200dpi scanner I'm considering it'll work out to around 58 megapixels

 Several people commented on the color of the leaves in the background
 and it does help this shot greatly. We so often like to discuss
 composition, camera technique, lens quality and post-processing when
 talking about what makes a good photo but the quality of light –
 something over which we have no control in situations like this – is
 usually what makes or breaks an image. I was lucky here. Or, more
 accurately, I've kept going back to this spot over and over for years
 until the luck and light were with me :)

GESO - Ice and Snow

2013-12-22 Thread Mark C


http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/ice-and-snow

We had a little ice storm last night so I tool some snapshots around the 
house and then went off into the woods for a good portion of the day. 
The woods I visited had been spared most of the ice storm but a nice 
little snow fell while I was there and freshened everything up. The 
close up shots wer etaken with the K-3 and DFA 100mm macro, the shots 
int he forest were taken with the K-3 and DFA 16-45 f4. Maybe it is the 
dual card slots, but I just take tons of photos when I am use the K-3. I 
have not even look at most of the stuff I shot today so there may be 
more to come.


CC always welcome.

Re: Waiting to Mush

Yes, I used it twice this December with Bandit, and in previous years
I have used it with two Malamutes, when I had two, with as many as 6
dogs, using some from two Malamute friends in the area, and with
single dogs or pairs for weight pulling contests.  Our champion M,
after he retired from the show ring, loved the weight pulling
contests.  More recently, Lee and I have not had the time to train our
dogs for more that just fun runs around the yard, down the quiet
street we live on (when we have someone to stop cars coming in) and
along the sewer easement through the woods when the snow is deep
enough to make that passable.

Missing from the image, of course, is a harness.  As anyone who has
been around sled dogs knows, when the dogs see the harness, they get
very impatient and a bit rowdy, so I took his portrait before bringing
out the harness.  The line hanging down from the front part of the
sled has a metal hook with clasp that is used to connect the sled to
the tow line.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Re: PESO - Iced Purple Sand Cherry

I spent some time visualizing this one before I went outside. I needed
a well-formed branch that was low enough that I could stand a black
reflector behind it. I used the same basic light as your crystal glass
except the overcast, drizzling sky was my softbox. I hope my stand and
reflector turn out to be waterproof after all. :-/

Re: PESO: Waiting to Mush

Thanks, Frank, Darren, Attila, Walt and Bruce.  A few days earlier, we
were running the sled at mid day, when my son was available.  The
images I took at that time were indeed blown out.  This time, I
decided to take the photos in the morning, when the sun was still low,
in an area partially shaded by trees and my house.  I also did the
portrait before hooking him up to the sled, when he was neither tired
out or still excited from pulling the sled.

Darren, your trip to MN sounds very interesting and exciting.  Ely is
the center of dog sled racing in the lower 48, so the opportunities to
experience the sport there should be outstanding.

Be sure to do it regardless of the weather !

A few winters ago, I spent a half day at a kennel in the U P of 
Michigan -http://www.natureskennel.com/index.php . I signed up for a half 
day at the kennel which included instruction and several hours driving a 6 
dog team along both public and private trails. It was in the 5 to 15 degree 
f range but I really never noticed the temp once I got out on the trails.


It was such a great experience that last year I signed up for their race 
package where the kennel provided all gear necessary, 4 of their sled dogs 
and transportation to a nearby sled dog race. It was an 8 mile race for the 
4 dog teams and I was able to complete the race in under an hour. What a 
hoot.


Highly recommended for any one that enjoys the winter.

BTW, Nature's Kennel is run by a musher and his wife - he has successfully 
competed in several Iditarod races in Alaska and has usually been the

A nice pic and a beautiful dog.

Especially interesting to me, as my wife and I will be going to Ely,
MN for a few days for our 34th anniversary. On the day of we will be
getting our first taste of dogsledding. Looking forward to it, even if
the high temp for the day is supposed to be 2 F. I think these people
who take warm weather cruises/vacations in the winter are nuts. They
come off the plane to winter again and dread going to the place where
they live the other 50-51 weeks of the year. Our philosophy is: Go to
Ely, MN for a winter vactaion, where you will come home with a little
perspective on cold temps and winter. (Gee it's great to be back

Re: PESO: Waiting to Mush

It certainly is a lot of fun. In addition to running around with my
own dogs and sled, I have (with qualified supervision) driven larger
dog sled teams in Alaska, the Aletsch Glacier under the Jungfrau, New
Hampshire, the Poconos,  and Turkey Swamp State Park in Jersey.  It is
always a thrill.

Malamutes enjoy pulling a sled, but they are unsuited for sled dog
racing.  They are too big and too heavy.  They were bred by the Inuit
tribe called Mahlemut, in Northwest Alaska,  for heavy freighting,
babysitting, and protection from wolves, grizzlies and polar bear.
They enjoy weight pulling contests, skijoring, and carrying packs on a
family hike or camping trip. They can not race against Siberians,
Alaskan Huskies, Greenland Huskies and other smaller, leaner dogs.

 A nice pic and a beautiful dog.

 Especially interesting to me, as my wife and I will be going to Ely,
 MN for a few days for our 34th anniversary. On the day of we will be
 getting our first taste of dogsledding. Looking forward to it, even if
 the high temp for the day is supposed to be 2 F. I think these people
 who take warm weather cruises/vacations in the winter are nuts. They
 come off the plane to winter again and dread going to the place where
 they live the other 50-51 weeks of the year. Our philosophy is: Go to
 Ely, MN for a winter vactaion, where you will come home with a little
 perspective on cold temps and winter. (Gee it's great to be back
 where the temps are 15 degrees warmer!)

One of the things I like about the PDML is how a post of a medium

Re: Waiting to Mush

Of course, the camera bracket is also missing. Just kidding! Very 
interesting. I have watched some film of cross country sled racing on TV but 
not weight pulling. I see in SA, some dog owners try to replicate the sport 
with wheeled sledges. When I saw the term easement, I initially imagined 
some sort of frozen open gulley (yuc) but after looking it up realised it is 
about the same as what we call a servitude.

Yes, I used it twice this December with Bandit, and in previous years
I have used it with two Malamutes, when I had two, with as many as 6
dogs, using some from two Malamute friends in the area, and with
single dogs or pairs for weight pulling contests.  Our champion M,
after he retired from the show ring, loved the weight pulling
contests.  More recently, Lee and I have not had the time to train our
dogs for more that just fun runs around the yard, down the quiet
street we live on (when we have someone to stop cars coming in) and
along the sewer easement through the woods when the snow is deep some 
pundits

enough to make that passable.

Missing from the image, of course, is a harness.  As anyone who has
been around sled dogs knows, when the dogs see the harness, they get
very impatient and a bit rowdy, so I took his portrait before bringing
out the harness.  The line hanging down from the front part of the
sled has a metal hook with clasp that is used to connect the sled to
the tow line.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

The woods I visited had been spared most of the ice storm but a nice
little snow fell while I was there and freshened everything up. The
close up shots wer etaken with the K-3 and DFA 100mm macro, the shots
int he forest were taken with the K-3 and DFA 16-45 f4. Maybe it is the
dual card slots, but I just take tons of photos when I am use the K-3. I
