Exactly.

I actually mentioned it partly because I posted something similar

I wouldn't know even if I did.
I lived with one of those ME Supers for a number of years. Still have 
it...somewhere.

You should take it out for a spin :-)

I got mine a few years ago as I bought a package where I really wanted 
one of the lenses (and didn't have to pay more than it was worth.) I 
don't use it much, but it's a handy camera to carry around with a single 
lens, if you don't mind shooting film.


I may also need little projects like shoot a roll of BW with this 
particular camera and one lens myself these days, if I'm going to take 
any pictures at all.

Re: OT - USB 3.0 PITA

2015-07-30 Thread John

Modegreen is a recursive form of mondegreen.

Somewhere around here I still have several partial rolls of GSA cloth
tapes that fall within the Duck Tape universe.

They came in several flavors of green - ranging from an almost Kelly
Green suitable for St. Patrick's Day decorations to a 3 inch wide roll
of deep Olive Green that was supposedly chemical agent resistant. It
would stick to CARC on vehicles.

It was certainly resistant to chemical agent decontamination in training
exercises (where we used live Decon solutions, even though NOT live agents).

Also rolls in black and/or tan (sand).

Plus, somewhere I should still have the remnants of a 5,000 ft spool of
550 cord.


On 7/30/2015 12:51 PM, P.J. Alling wrote:

Shouldn't that be mondegreen?

Speaking of Duck Tape and Green.  I live about 35 miles from Electric
Boat in Groten/New London, and that facility at one time supplied it's
own Duck Tape, which was referred to as EB Green due to it's distinctive
color.  It was the Gold Standard of Duct tapes, much better than the
silvery stuff available commercially. There was actually sort of a black
market in it.  EB workers would take a roll home now and then and share
it with their friends. Not available any more, probably killed off by
cheep imitations, (just the regular silver stuff, colored green in
imitation).

On 7/30/2015 12:16 PM, John wrote:

It was interesting reading.

I first heard it called Duct-tape and thought Duck Tape was a
modegreen. Now I know that it was indeed originally Duck tape, only
referring to a different meaning of duck.

Learn something new every day - try to anyway.

Although ...

For PDML purposes shouldn't it be Cormorant Tape?

I realize that pedantry is almost unheard of on PDML, but the tape is
duct tape not duck tape.  It was originally invented for use on
air ducts on HVAC systems.  It turns out that it does very poorly for
that job, but is pretty good for lots of other stuff instead.



Actually it's DUKW pronounced and often spelled Duck tape, duct tape
is a different animal.  The original Duck tape was used to water
proof
items, such as ammunition boxes that were loaded on to DUKWs for
transport over beaches during WWII.  It predates Duct tape. (used in
HVAC installations). which is heat proof, but not necessarily
waterproof, by a good number of years.

The scans are ok, but you might look at levels.

Add an adjustment layer; set black to 60 and midtones to 0.75

That's what I'd do in Photoshop. Someone else will have to tell you how
to get the same effect in Lightroom.

Yes, those are mostly shot in that kind of conditions. I also think
scanned BW negatives tend to come out a bit flat, but perhaps I'm not

Geso :Tour De Farms

2015-07-30 Thread Donald Guthrie
Every year for the last 40, thousands (20,000 est this year) gather in 
western Iowa to ride their bikes from the Missouri river to the 
Mississippi river in one week 60-70miles a day. . They ride everything 
from unicycles to tandem tricycles. They are all ages, sizes, and both 
sexes (more men than women) It is a different route each year and many 
ride year after year. Some of them start the ride by biking the route 
from east to west and then joining the others for the return. They eat a 
lot of carbs drink lots of beer and profess to have a great time. Many 
find out that Iowa is not as flat as they had heard.


I rode a very short way with them. BTW my brother dubbed the ride Tour 
de farms many years ago and made a tidy sum for many years selling 
T-shirts on the ride with the slogan and original artwork by his wife.


This year they stopped in my hometown and here is small gallery of their 
stop. Some Pentax; some not. CC as always.

Re: PESO - Cicada

2015-07-30 Thread Bruce
I would think it is not only shutter, but other mechanical parts of the camera 
- is the mirror considered part of the shutter?  How about the aperture on the 
lens - is it wide open or does that get used as well.

One interesting thing would be to come up with an average number of frames now 
that you are into a bit of groove with this stacking which would help you 
determine how long the camera and/or lenses might last.

Not a wearing out issue, but along the same lines, how much storage does it 
take?  seems like you would have to continue to provide more disk space or some 
archiving concept as well.

For the rest us, the results you are getting are amazing!

Thanks. I've been wondering about shutter activations. This shot is 232

Setting things up, starting on stacks that don't work out, etc add even

shutter actuations. Digging through files I was able to get a baseline 
from December 19, 2014 and that was just over 17,000 actuations.

I hope that the shutter is indeed as robust as claimed!

Shouldn't that be mondegreen?

Speaking of Duck Tape and Green.  I live about 35 miles from Electric 
Boat in Groten/New London, and that facility at one time supplied it's 
own Duck Tape, which was referred to as EB Green due to it's distinctive 
color.  It was the Gold Standard of Duct tapes, much better than the 
silvery stuff available commercially. There was actually sort of a black 
market in it.  EB workers would take a roll home now and then and share 
it with their friends. Not available any more, probably killed off by 
cheep imitations, (just the regular silver stuff, colored green in 
imitation).

The document is 234 pages  I haven't been able to wade through all of

new copyright law will eliminate the presumption It's copyrighted when 
you create it. It won't be copyrighted unless it's actually registered.


The Copyright Office will go out of the business of registering 
copyrights  you'll have to register your work (including meta-data) 
with two new commercial repositories/aggregators, paying whatever fees 
they charge. Register ... with two means you have to register it twice.


This apparently includes previously copyrighted/registered works.

It again introduces limitations on damages for infringements where the 
infringer has made a good faith diligent search ... whatever THAT 
means ... to find the copyright owner and appears to place the burden on 
the copyright owner to prove that the infringer did NOT act in good 
faith or apply due diligence.


Eligible nonprofit educational institutions, museums, libraries, 
archives, or public broadcasters would be exempt from paying damages if 
they used the infringed work for noncommercial educational, religious, 
or charitable purposes.

GESO - 28/40

2015-07-30 Thread Toralf Lund

Hi,

I'm sure there are literally thousands of people on this list who have 
found it hard to get any sleep lately because they are wondering so much 
what I'm doing this summer. Well, here is at least part of the answer: 
I've been walking around with an old ME Super loaded with T-Max 400 
film, and either my M-28 or M-40 attached, shooting at a rather modest 
pace by today's standards. Here is also a part of the outcome so far, or 
around 12.8 % to be more precise:


http://se.toralf.net/post/125445245848/2840

Comments are welcome, as usual. I realise many of you will get very 
disappointed because you don't notice any selfies, but you may actually 
be able to spot a subtle one if you look hard enough :-)

I'd guess that you are lightly reflected somewhere in the lower right window 
shot.
I wouldn't know even if I did.
I lived with one of those ME Supers for a number of years. Still have 
it...somewhere.

maybe I should call it doektape in the future.

 Once the PCI card is inserted apply some duck tape from the inside to
 restore airflow conditions like before.


 I realize that pedantry is almost unheard of on PDML, but the tape is
 duct tape not duck tape.  It was originally invented for use on
 air ducts on HVAC systems.  It turns out that it does very poorly for
 that job, but is pretty good for lots of other stuff instead.


 Actually it's DUKW pronounced and often spelled Duck tape, duct tape
 is a different animal.  The original Duck tape was used to water proof
 items, such as ammunition boxes that were loaded on to DUKWs for
 transport over beaches during WWII.  It predates Duct tape. (used in
 HVAC installations). which is heat proof, but not necessarily
 waterproof, by a good number of years.
