Drool! A very interesting gallery, Paul. In the end I suppose it all came 
down to a bit of dust. Very little noise at 6400 - Larry is quite about 
right, but judging from my K7 I would say more like 400.

I shot my first work assignment with the K-1 today. It was a National 
Corvette Restorers Society judging that I’m covering for Hagerty’s 
automotive publications. I had to work quickly and didn’t want to deal with 
a tripod. I needed f11 for this pic and couldn’t use flash, so high ISO was 
necessary. Based on my early experience with the K-1, I figured ISO 6400 was 
definitely useable. I think I was right.

Sheesh, too easy. You got it immediately. A few others were close, some very 
imaginative.


It's actually the inner stainless steel drum from an old Hoover front 
loading washing machine. The stand is the drive pulley mounted in reverse. A 
perfect braai (barbecue) for two. Works very well - plenty of air holes for 
the fire.

Peso: shot with the 15-30

2016-05-14 Thread Bill
The local pusher had their annual dog and pony show today, so I got to 
play with a couple of the new lenses for the K1.
This one was shot with the 15-30. Not much to say about it, other than 
that it's a brick wall.

The lens is nicely balanced to the camera, and seems very, very sharp.

http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrphoto/pictures/brickwall.html

K1, 15-30mm zoom, f/2.8 1/2000 at ISO 100.

With respect to lens corrections, I have assumed that Pentax supplies Adobe and 
others with information about their lenses. Which is why I am able to do 
post-processing with a lens-correction option in LR. If this is the case, then 
it seems that my computer rather than the camera is the place for these 
corrections to be applied to captured files…

Re: In-body lens aberration correction, noise reduction etc. Yes or No?

2016-05-14 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
On some cameras, lens corrections are embedded in the raw files and 
automatically applied by raw converters that honor the lens correction 
metadata. Not all raw converters allow you to disable the lens corrections. Nor 
should you, because such cameras and lenses are designed to be used with lens 
correction as part of the total imaging system and won't perform as well 
without it.

Noise reduction in-camera usually means two things: 

- "Long exposure noise reduction" is most typically dark frame subtraction 
where beyond a certain exposure length the camera makes the exposure, then 
immediately collects noise data from the sensor without opening the shutter in 
a similar length exposure in order to model the noise alone. It uses that to 
subtract out the noise in the captured image. 

- "Noise filtering" is normally a post-capture process applied to the RGB/JPEG 
rendering process. It operates much as noise reduction processing does in 
various image processing apps in post. 

On many cameras, filtering can be adjusted for strength and both can be turned 
off entirely. On others, there are no such options. 

When I have the option, I usually leave long exposure noise reduction on but 
turn off noise filtering. Long exposure noise reduction can be a serious pain 
when you're working with very long exposures, however.

In-body lens aberration correction, noise reduction etc. Yes or No?

2016-05-14 Thread Stanley Halpin
A couple of days ago Bob Sullivan said this:

> Yes, the K-1 came with lens corrections turned on, but it doesn't seem
> to effect processing time in camera.

Then yesterday in his eNewsletter Tim Grey strongly advocated for the use of 
in-camera noise reduction for long exposures.

Well, earlier in the week I had been going through the menus on the K-1 doing 
the initial setup. My longstanding bias has been to turn off lens corrections, 
noise reduction, Highlight and Shadow Correction. And now in addition I get to 
turn off Clarity and Skin Tone adjustments.

After seeing Bob’s and then Tim’s unrelated comments, I thought I would try and 
think this through. IIRC, one of the bases for my bias against such own-camera 
processing was that they only affected jpg files anyway, I don’t shoot jpg, so 
why risk processing time on something that has no value. Another of my 
assumptions has been that Lightroom or similar on my full-up computer is able 
to deploy more sophisticated image processing routines than is feasible on the 
ittybitty processor in the camera.

I dug into the K-1 manual and also went back to the K-3 manual. These are my 
“findings”:

1. With the K-1 the manual says that the lens correction information is saved 
in a separate file when shooting RAW, and that information is applied during 
[in-camera] processing of the RAW to jpg image. So, irrelevant unless you shot 
jpegs. Turn Off.

2. I find no indiction of what happens to Clarity and Skin Tone adjustments but 
suspect that they are jpeg only. Turn Off.

3. We know that HDR in-camera is a merging of multiple images, so here both RAW 
and jpeg files are affected. Turn Off, mostly.

4. Pixel Shift and Astrotracer functions also change the RAW and jpeg image 
capture. Turn Off except for special unique circumstances.

5. Long-exposure and High-ISO noise reduction change the images. I am not sure 
about this one.

6. Highlight correction? Shadow correction? Do these affect the RAW image or 
just jpeg? Do they do any harm? Do they do more good than you could accomplish 
with a simple slider in Lightroom?

I would appreciate feedback on the validity of my assumptions and my 
conclusions.

I shot my first work assignment with the K-1 today. It was a National 
Corvette Restorers Society judging that I’m covering for Hagerty’s 
automotive publications. I had to work quickly and didn’t want to deal with 
a tripod. I needed f11 for this pic and couldn’t use flash, so high ISO was 
necessary. Based on my early experience with the K-1, I figured ISO 6400 
was definitely useable. I think I was right.

FSF computers, a little late or very early

2016-05-14 Thread Larry Colen
I would have posted this last night, but it was a pretty rough week and 
as they say, my get up and go, got up and went.  Some good news, the 
septic system problems turned out to just be a bad check valve rather 
than a totally failed septic system. When things go wrong, I tend to 
assume the worst, so that any news I get from then on is more likely to 
be good news.


In the past year, before I stumbled on some great deal for upgrading 
whole systems, I did a couple of disk upgrades.  The drive in my 24 inch 
iMac (ca 2007) died.  It has a great monitor, and it seemed like 
dropping a 500g SSD in it would make it a good system for friends to use 
when they are visiting, and also for showing off my photos at parties. 
The one downside is that it seems to not read the drive temp and has the 
fan on all of the time.  Make offer.


I also have a quad core mac mini, with 16G of ram, a 2 TB SSD and a 2 TB 
spinny inside of it. I also have the two drives that constituted the 
fusion drive, that I took out of it. Doing this conversion was quite a 
bit of work.  The Samsung 850 Evo 2TB is selling for about $700 at Fry's 
(the price seems to have gone up), a 2 TB spinny drive is about $140, 
the kit from OWC is about $40.  The biggest downside of this system is 
that it only supports one 2560 pixel monitor, though with a 27" 
thunderbolt and a 23" 1920x1080 mounted vertically, it's a very nice 
system as long as you are saner than I about the number of photos that 
you take and store on external drives.  I think that about $2,000 is a 
fair price for the system.  Note that with the thicker 2TB SSD, it was 
not a trivial replacement, and I had to leave one of the drives wedged 
in, but not screwed down.


Also, my 27" Thunderbolt monitor will not work with my new system, and I 
need the money more than I need an external monitor for a laptop.  They 
seem to go for $500-600 on craigslist, and this one has a chip missing 
from a bit of the glass over the bezel. It doesn't affect performance, 
just appearance if you look closely at it.  I'd like to get $500 for it.


I also have the Dell U2311H which I'm using as the vertical monitor, 
that I'd be willing to sell, but am not actively looking to sell.

Good point , Stringer

You have to be careful saying "mark" in the body of a post here:- )although 
your comment is MARK worthy :-)

and then I bet you could get confused with Cassino too.. ( puns always
intended)

Nicole, the pigeon shot is super, and the surfboard without rider gave me a 
chuckle.. I wish it were a bit darker overall.  I think you could prune this 
group of 20 a bit for more impact - but that's coming from someone who things 
if you've seen one surfing photo you've seen them all  so perhaps unfair.
The  stump that others have mentioned is interesting, but the birdie is the 
winner for me.  It's a money shot for a poster

These pictures were from a stop in a little coastal town named Cayucos along 
Hwy 1.

This guy was staring at me from the rafters under the pier:

Okay.  Ann thinks too many Mark's. Hence forth I shall be Stringer.  If I
