Hey, I'm looking for software that is user friendly, runs on Windows and

I'm sure the video version of Photoshop Elements would do me fine.
Is Premier Elements decent? I'm not sure if I want to spend the money on
Premier Pro, though twenty bucks a month doesn't sound as bad as a grand.

of the lenses combined with a sensor.

First, just a quick comment that while talking about outresolving 

lenses,
one should also keep in mind that due to the discretization of the 

pixelated
media, the effective resolution of a lens can be still reduced, even if 

the
sensor's pixels/mm number is larger than lines/mm number for the lens. 

(The
guy in that recent Nikon vs Canon video that was linked a few days ago 

in a

different thread discusses that.) So, increase in the pixel density of a
factor of 1.28 in principle can produce some significant effect for some
lenses if you are going from 6 MP to 7.7 MP.

In this case, the same argument may apply for the sharpest lenses.
(Maybe even  prime * lenses of Pentax?)

Nyquist rate times the bayer pattern.

Double should be good enough to get unaliased luminance data, but you 
need to look at the sample rate for each color. What you are really 
asking for is that each color be sampled at over the nyquist rate.


I wonder if there are pathological cases where the repeating pattern is 
at 45 degrees and you need another 1.4 times the resolution to avoid 
aliasing.

 I will remain optimistic, although I?m not as hopeful as I was yesterday 
 morning. Will get more information and a more clear prognosis as the medics 
 complete the pathology of the tissue that was removed. In any case, chemo 
 will start as soon as Marlene has her strength back. The doc said radiation

http://www.mail-archive.com/pdml@pdml.net/msg703996.html
He starts talking about the interplay of the high resolution lenses
and the sensor shortly after 4:00.

Personally, I'm too lazy to look up that right now, but I'm thinking
that it might make sense to have a sensor resolution of up to 8x the one
of the lens. I'll leave it as an exercise to find out how I came up with
that number (told you I was lazy.) But I'm also wondering if one could
make that 6x instead, and also reorganise the sensor (see above.)


Nyquist rate times the bayer pattern.

Double should be good enough to get unaliased luminance data, but you 
need to look at the sample rate for each color. What you are really 
asking for is that each color be sampled at over the nyquist rate.


Exactly.

I'm also wondering if the extra green of the bayer pattern is rather 
pointless at such a resolution, but I haven't really thought about it a 
lot...


I wonder if there are pathological cases where the repeating pattern 
is at 45 degrees and you need another 1.4 times the resolution to 
avoid aliasing.

Hmmm... Also something to consider, I suppose.

Re: PESO - Dahlgren Chapel

2014-09-14 Thread Mark C

Thanks, Christine!

I wound up going a little heavier than I planned, but generally kept it 
light. I went with the Field Bag / Tech Bag approach that you mentioned. 
The field bag held the K-3 with DA 17-70, IR K10D with 40mm XR attached, 
plus the Takumar-F 70-200 and DFA 100mm macro.


For the field bag I rummaged through my collection of junk bags and 
found an old 1990's video cam bag - roughly 16 inches long, 8 inches 
high and 6 wide. I dropped in the the backups - K5 and DA 16-50 f4 - and 
then added the Mz-S, FA 28-105 and FA 20-35 plus a good bit of film. ANd 
then I tossed in the Q kit in its own little back.


I did not need the K5 and did not use the Q kit or the film kit. I also 
did not use the DFA macro. The surprise lens that I used a lot was the 
40mm XR. I kept switching back and forth between the IR and regular 
setup and often had both on my neck, like some 1960's photojournalist 
with multiple camera bodies... One day put both bodies and both zooms 
(17-70 and 16-50) in the field bag for the day, but it was too much 
carrying both on my neck. The 40mm was just always a little too long for 
what I wanted for either body - it had the FOV of a 40mm on a 35mm 
system it would have been perfect, though.


I used the 70-200 for a few shots and was glad to have it.

In hindsight I would have left behind the Q and film kit and possibly 
the 100mm macro. This afternoon I've been playing around a 28mm f2.8 
prime - an old XR Rikenon non-A lens - and I'm thinking that a good 
compact 28 mm is in my future. Maybe an F/FA 28mm f2.8. A small normal 
prime (24-28mm in the case of the APS -C body) and normal zoom between 
the two cameras would have covered almost everything. But the tech bag 
just took up one small corner in the back of the car so taking it was no 
big deal.


The biggest problem I ran into concerned batteries for the K10D - mine 
are getting old and while I brought 3, two failed under use. One worked 
fine, one will hold a charge for one or two shots and then die, and one 
can take one shot at a time but will die whenever a burst of shots is 
fired - either in auto drive or bracketing. I need to order another 
battery or two for that camera...


Thanks for asking!

I remember at the time I got it, it didn't support my printer  I had a
bunch of trouble getting the serial number I needed to make the software
work. They left the label off off the CD sleeve  I was in Iraq trying
to sort it out between Adorama  ColorVision via email  long distance

I eventually did get the serial number for the software  I've got it

Re: 100% reliable rumor 46MP Sony FF Sensor

2014-09-14 Thread Darren Addy
IMHO the question of telephoto vs wide as it relates to APS-C vs FF is
a moot one.

I shoot ultra-wide more often probably anybody on this list and the
Sigma 10-20mm gives me a 15-30mm equiv. FOV on APS-C.
In the old days a 15mm rectilinear was as wide as you could buy. On
the other end, when I shoot shoot telephoto, I'm glad to have the
Bigma be a 75-750mm equiv FOV with the 1.5x focal length multiplier.
The APS-C gives me a 15-750mm focal length range with my full frame
capable lenses.

I'd be giving up about 250mm on the long end and next to nothing on
the short end if I switched to a full frame Pentax.

Have you tried it? I disagree.
You still get fisheye lines, but only the center crop from it, so it
isn't as noticable as if they extend to the edges, as in a full frame.

The effect is subtle, but can be quite pleasing:

Re: Aurora Borealis possible tonight: It is already ON

As usual whenever there's a possibility of interesting astronomical

We had, not one, but TWO earth-directed CMEs last week and the first

exposures of the northern horizon. You may be surprised at what you
see.

The 2nd CME was ejected from the sun faster than the first and is
expected to deliver a rare potent ONE-TWO punch to the magnetosphere
(possibly overnight). I'm leaving shortly to head 100 miles west or so
where I have probably clear skies tonight.

For all your aurora needs: http://www.solarham.net/

Specifically: current conditions http://www.solarham.net/oval.htm

Hoping for something like this earlier effort from south-central

I've always liked the original colour version but I thought it might
look interesting in BW.  Now I'm not sure which I prefer.

Thoughts?

Thanks for being so frank Paul, hopefully the news will get better,
you are a strong guy and I know that you will keep the atmosphere
positive which is what everyone needs. It's great to see everyone
lending a bit of emotional support here but hey we are a sort of
family in a way. Best of luck, fingers and everything else crossed for
Marlene.

Cheers,

 Not wishing to tap the well of PDML sympathy too far, I face a similar
 situation: my daughter has a
 mass on the pancreas which is proving difficult to diagnose, and has
 caused a drop in liver
 function.  Biopsy has been taken, but an infection in the area means an
 accurate diagnosis could not
 be made, and she probably faces another endoscopy and biopsy procedure in
 the near future.  Fingers
 are crossed that the mass is not cancerous or malignant, but we are
 advised not to be too optimistic
 at this stage.  She is currently in hospital for pain relief, and will
 stay there until the
 infection is cleared, I guess.

 The surgery took five hours, longer than expected. The doc found a number
 of affected lymph nodes,
 including one close to the aorta, so a lot of precise work was required.
 He also found a second
 tumor in the small intestine. The primary tumor in the colon was very
 large. When I spoke to hem
 after the surgery he wasn't optimistic but didn't say it was hopeless. I
 asked if there was a chance
 for full recovery and he said there's always a chance. Not exactly
 encouraging but enough to give me
 hope. Worse than I expected but not as bad as it might have been if there
 was liver involvement.

 I will remain optimistic, although I'm not as hopeful as I was yesterday
 morning. Will get more
 information and a more clear prognosis as the medics complete the
 pathology of the tissue that was
 removed. In any case, chemo will start as soon as Marlene has her strength
 back. The doc said
 radiation therapy is a possibility as well.

 Paul,

 Any impressions from the surgical team as to how the procedure went?

I don't either personally. A 10-17 would be a lot more interesting
with its adjustable FE effect for about the same cost really IMO.

 Have you tried it? I disagree.
 You still get fisheye lines, but only the center crop from it, so it
 isn't as noticable as if they extend to the edges, as in a full frame.

 The effect is subtle, but can be quite pleasing:

 I sold mine, but it is one of those lenses I plan to own again, even
 for use on APS-C.

Colour. B/W doesn't allow one to see the contrast between the dry dunes  
the snow capped mountains.
