And just in case, for Paul: removing "au" from the URL (domain portion)

Re: Why did my K1 not go automatically to DST? Problem solved!

That is clear to me, Jan, at first sight I am thinking that the time 
table info could be easily modulated on the GPS signal.


I could not find detailed specification of the system and signals.

Hallo Jos,

On Tue, 28 Mar 2017 11:19:56 +0200 Jos de Fotograaf wrote:

_Is DST in the GPS info itself?_

No


Some members suggested that the camera needs look-up tables to see DST data of 
specific countries.
I am not so sure about that.

You need either DST tables (combined with timezone info), OR manual setting of 
DST yes/no


I did not get a clear answer from Google.
But, GPS was designed for military purposes, it contains time information, so 
why not also DST data?

The GPS sattelite(s) don't know where YOU are, they only send an encoded very
exact TIME signal which can be received everywhere the sattelite is 'visible'

Your GPS device can then calculate its position by comparing time-differences
as received from multiple sattelites (closest sattelite is received first :)

The decoded time will be available to the GPS device this way, but it is UTC 
time.
The device needs to convert that to local time using timezone + DST information.


For military on the ground it can be crucial to know the exact local time.
Even when all other systems fail.

Yes, but the GPS only supplies UTC times.

BTW: In large scale military operations, they often use UTC times directly,
it used to be called ZULU time, for ZERO deviation from the ZERO-meridian time 
:)


_Well, all together it took me a lot more time, than simply adapting the clock 
manually! But I gained knowledge!

Indeed, I checked my K3, it did not have DST checked either (fixed now).

It is important to set that correctly, otherwise the 'Sync' done by the GPS 
unit will set
the time wrong (since the conversion from UTC to local-time will be off by 1 
hour)

I have had that happening a few times, setting it manually, then seeing it 
change
automatically as soon as the GPS unit gets a proper connection :)

Great shot. Unusual to see them up there?  Esp for this time of the

Hey all. A small local group i am part of "Thepassingshow".
http://www.thepassingshow.com/members wanted to do a book of local
pictures for Canada's 150th birthday this year. It was a big
undertaking as some of the organizers wanted to build a  pro book
which would entail a great cost and order numbers. It has been scaled
back to a smaller less pro book and do something with shutterfly or
blurb or some such on line presence. We are having meeting Tuesday at
local pub to discuss this. I suppose my question would be to Mark and
Bill and who ever has done some blurb or shutterfly books on the
process. I did one blurb book many years ago for family but it was
pretty basic.


I recommend you bribe Mark to use it as a class project.

I've done a few. Adobe has an all singing all dancing program for 
publishing (InDesign) which will publish directly to blurb. It does a 
great job, but the learning curve is more work than putting together the 
book. I'd suggest just giving it a try in lightroom and see if that 
comes close enough to what you want, if that doesn't work, then put in 
the effort to try something else.

The Guinea Fowl have bred well this year thanks to our lazy Municipality who 
have not cut the grass in our suburban parks. The long grass has afforded 
the chicks much needed protection from feral cats & raptors. Three 
"families", comprising 6 adults & 19 chicks flew from the "park" over the

Re: Lens FOV - APS-C vs full frame vs 645D/Z

2017-03-29 Thread Darren Addy

APC wide angle: I love my Sigma EX 10-20mm f4-5.6.
Probably have taken more memorable images on that, than any other lens.
It is full frame down to about 15mm (with little vignetting) so I
think it matches the widest rectaliner full frame film lens that
Pentax ever made.

2014 PDML Annual

2017-03-29 Thread Paul Stenquist

I too have been unable to contact Mark Roberts via his personal email address, 
but I might as well address the group. I would like to purchase a hardcover 
version of the 2014 Annual. The wrap art version, not the dust jacket version. 
Blurb is all out of those. I gave mine away, and I would like to keep my set of 
annuals complete. Blurb does have a soft cover book, so I may have to settle 
for that, but all of my others are hard cover, so I would prefer to find one. I 
gave mine to the young lady whose posterior was immortalized in that edition, 
so I am bookless.

Re: The recent device ban and traveling with a camera

I suspect that the same body has already been through some jarring
moments being shipped to its final destination, whether by container
ship or by plane.  Loading/unloading boxes, loading/unloading
containers, the trip itself, the distribution network which ships the
cameras to its retailer and the shipping to the customer's house, all
involving UPS/Fedex wannabee monkeys.  I don't know exactly the
mechanism of the shake reduction, but I suspect its some kind of piezo
device, which means that when its off its pretty rigid.

Re: The recent device ban and traveling with a camera

2017-03-29 Thread Igor PDML-StR

For the overall number, I just realized, I was counting only the airports
designated by FAA as "Commercial service - primary" ( over 10 000
passenger boardings per year). You probably included "Commercial service -
nonprimary" (between 2.5K and 10K boardings per year).

On one hand, I didn't find the list of the latter upon a quick look. On
the other hand, I suspected that most of those are serviced by charter
flights. But now, I am thinking that small airports with a single daily
flight (say CRJ-100) with about half load on average (say, 25 passengers
on average) would not meet the 10-K cut-off. And then some of those
airports may have seasonal schedule.
One example of such airports is WYS (Yellowstone Airport), served
exclusivle by Delta between May and September (only 7,796 enplaments in
2015).

The latest total number of commercial airports I was able to find (CY15)
lists 544 airports:
https://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/passenger_allcargo_stats/passenger/media/cy15-commercial-service-enplanements.pdf
The last one on the list, LAF, that just barely made the cut for the
"commercial" (2500+ enplaments), has not had scheduled commercial flights
since 2004.

So, I suspect the correct number of the airports with regular scheduled
commercial flight services might be somewhere between 500 and 600.

Cheers,

Igor

PS. I am always glad to see that I am not the only one who cares for the
accuracy of statements. :-)

Your 400 figure is a bit low, too - my count shows 662 airports
in the USA that have scheduled flights operating to/from them.
