Re: How large is too large...
Late to the thread, my main LR classic catalogue currently shows 689k images, I prefer it this way as I'm regularly needing to revisit previous edits and I shoot a lot of recurring jobs. I have no problems with speed during use, though it resides on a fast SSD (7GB/s), the problem is that with previews the cat occupes 143GB of storage space, it also takes a long time to check/compact and back-up the cat and when I revisit old folders where the previews have been purged already it can hang for a little.

PESO Astro pano
Hi Team, Just popped my head in to see what everyone is up to. Not shooting my Pentax kit much at the moment but I did get away with it on a short holiday a couple of weeks back. I did some night shooting which I haven't done for years, I think it worked out nicely but it's inherently a dark image which doesn't suit social media presentation at all well. It's a five vertical shot cylindrical stitch, there were more source images by LR could manage to work out how they fit together, I may revisit the edit using Hugin to stitch all the images but it's way more effort than I am prepared for at the moment. Hope you enjoy. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6bhtfvwnjvrbhk4/001_IMGZ19890-Pano_exif.jpg?dl=0 Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) https://linktr.ee/digitalimagestudio -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Ricoh direct marketing cue wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth
Australia may have been a testbed of sorts, there's now virtually no Pentax to be seen at bricks mortar stores or their on-lline portals. For some years they have been selling direct and they have an agent on eBay that often undercuts the buy price of retailers (product is direct shipped from the importers CRK). As a consequence they have largely faded into obscurity here.

Re: PESO The Rocks
Hi Larry, Yes it wasn't the day I would have picked, some colour in the sky would have been nice but I had been putting off the shoot due to rain and that was my best weather window in the allotted delivery time.

PESO The Rocks
Hi Team, I was in the city shooting façades for a client last month and I took the opportunity to grab a quick shot for myself (have hardly shot anything for myself in the last two years). The image was shot using my pano head with the vertical angle set to optimise the balance between the road and the tops of the buildings. It's a 3 shot x 12 HDR sequence, all assembled in LR using the HDR panorama option. I then used the guided transform tool to set my main verticals and rotation. I had a cut down kit with me which meant that I had to set the tripod level by adjusting the leg lengths so it's not quite right, I left the image uncropped to display the overlap/stitching (and my levelling error). https://www.dropbox.com/s/8c1e66dkukggn68/001_IMGZ8652-HDR-Pano_EXIF.jpg?dl=0 Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO - PanESO - Grand Teton
Hi Igor, I'm not sure that PS has the same size limitations as LR, the way LR works is it produces a composite DNG so I think that the issue is mainly a limit on the RAW/DNG engine (one of my friends is on the LR dev team so I will ask out of interest). Pano prints are amazing :) I think my images are hidden from the public, I have to share a direct link for them to be visible. I have a pano head but if I'm shooting hand held or just off a conventional head I tend to overlap by 50%. This typically makes it easy for the stitcher and it's easy to set by eye, you just place what was at the edge of the frame in the centre on the subsequent exposure.

Re: PESO - PanESO - Grand Teton
Nice work Igor, what software did you use to stitch the images? I know that LR, though quite capable and by far the best option to assemble RAW image files, does currently have a maximum pixel dimension (vertically or horizontally) of around 65000px and a maximum overall size of 500Mpx total therefore limiting the max image size to around 64000x8000px. I did see that original post re-hosting panoramic images but forgot to reply. It is difficult to display them in a meaningful way on-line, the most practical option I found was the Gigapan site. It's a little long in the tooth, clunky and seems to be fairly niche these days but it does still work, I put four images up about 5 years back and they still appear to be accessible. http://gigapan.com/gigapans/898e98242e191f917be68fcbf6230da4 Cheers, On Sat, 15 Jan 2022 at 05:25, Igor PDML-StR wrote: > > > I've written this message almost 1.5 years ago, but never sent it... > I did this back in August of 2020, but than I was struggling with the > presentation of the panoramic photos (here is the thread: > https://www.mail-archive.com/pdml@pdml.net/msg780894.html ), and I've > never followed up on that. > So, I am just presenting it as is, as a huge Jpeg file. > > All comments are welcome! > > Igor > > > -- Forwarded message -- > Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2020 10:39:57 -0400 (EDT) > To: PDML@pdml.net > Subject: PESO - PanESO - Grand Teton > > > > Hi All, > > Well, I've done it, - a panoramic photo that I don't know how to present. > This is the largest ever (pixel-wise) pano, as it was the first time I > couldn't > save it as JPEG because of the pixel size limit for JPEG. > > Somewhere online, I've found references that JPEG couldn't be larger than some > 65,xxx pixels in any direction.

Re: GESO Leura Gardens Festival 2019
Hi Paul, I'm glad it brightened up your day. It's quite surreal here today, the smoke is so thick over Sydney that the sun is rendered a deep red, it feels like we're living in a Sci-Fi movie. HI Brian, You should do it (assuming that it's not all cinders by then), some of the gardens were as good as I've seen in Europe. The Waratahs were almost perfect samples, very impressive.

Re: GESO Leura Gardens Festival 2019
Hi Rick, Glad you liked them, I know that gardens aren't everyone's cup of tea but this lot were pretty spectacular, I'm aiming to get a preview before the crowds next year if I can manage it, then I could really go to town. Hi Ann, Thanks, given how the FB god stuff with the view algorithms I'm not at all surprised that you missed them. Hi Cotty, LOL, no nekkid ladies in this lot, I think you might have mistaken me for someone else with a 645z ;) I have a nice Nikon work kit now, no Nikkor glass though, it's all Tarom zooms and Sigma primes, I certainly can't complain. So butcher as many NIkkors as you like :) Hi Pete, Glad you liked them, there's a big bushfire front way too close at the moment, I think everyone is just crossing their fingers, I saw a shot from last night at Echo Point looking over the Three Sisters and there's just a wall of fire behind, very sad.

Re: OT IG handles
Larry it's definitely a pain to share pics that don't originate from the phone cam or the app directly, they really don't want desktop access so that's why most solutions end up failing, not quite sure of the rationale there.

GESO Leura Gardens Festival 2019
Hi Guys, I don't get much time to pop in here these days, I'm still shooting Pentax regularly but most of my work is done using Nikon gear these days. If you are into gardens I shot this set of images recently, all hand held using the 645z and superb 28-45 zoom, PP in LR, I did post this link a while back on FB for those that are connected with me there. The challenge of the day was not to capture 50+ random people in each shot. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w7ek04hwdz6dplb/AABUhPBdgvRUI-Y1arSAEbVWa?dl=0 Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: What are the advantages of ransomware Lightroom? Also copying off an external drive
I'm late to the party but I'll chime in, much like Doug my income is highly variable these days (photography being what it is) but still I value the work-flow inherent in LR enough to submit to their ransom-ware tactics (which I loathe). I stay within LR for most of my edits if possible and venture out to PS only when absolutely necessary, all my images are accessible via a single catalogue (as I am regularly required to delve into past shoots) and it's currently sitting at just shy of 600k images without a hitch. In the last year I've also been running an Xtouch Mini MIDI mixer via MIDI2LR to facilitate direct control of my major adjustments and image selection and this has significantly increased the pace of my work-flow when managing larger shoots.

Re: Sounds like Pentax/Ricoh's resources are spread pretty thin...
Mine is up on eBay at the moment (reluctantly), it's a gorgeous lens, better than the FA* version but its AF sucks and I need AF these days so it's more a lovely curio for me. Given its status as a collectors piece and the condition of my copy I've put a premium on it, if I get no bites I get to keep it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/123060327807?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 On 11 April 2018 at 09:54, Paul Stenquist <pnstenqu...@mac.com> wrote: > The A* 85/1.4 is a collectible.

Re: April PUG, "Night", is up
That's basically what I do, my pano rig is now optimised for use with the HD35, I'm then not limited if the vista is relatively static. The 28-45 is too long for my pano rig, I don't have enough adjustment in it to find the lenses nodal point.

Re: April PUG, "Night", is up
The 28-45 zoom is fantastic optically and the SR is quite impressive but it's a honking big and heavy lens so it does often get left home when I could most use it.

Re: K1-II spec leaked, seems like minor improvements only
Yeah that would work, the action is there then gone quickly too giving the buffer time to refresh. A lot of my shoots are pretty intense, dance, fire and music shows. The fire stuff is over pretty quickly and you need to overshoot to get a few decent frames it's happening so fast. A lot of music pr teams now only give you the first three songs and for some reason often poor lighting really limiting opportunities during the allotted press time.

Re: K1-II spec leaked, seems like minor improvements only
The K1 to me is an ideal portrait/landscape camera, not so great for events, the fact that they managed to deliver the trio of pro-spec zooms at launch was admirable but they seem a miss match for the body. A couple of high quality portable primes (the 15-30 is a great lens, I have the Tamron version but it's huge and weighty) to satisfy traditional landscape and portrait shooters should have at least closely followed the launch of the three f2.8 zoom lenses IMO. I needed a new solution to cover my events shooting with better speed and low light performance (was previously using K3/K3/K5iis combination) but I knew that the K1 buffer would limit its usefulness to me so I finally jumped ship. I would have stuck around for another 5 plus years on top of my 30 or so if they had produced a K3/ii replacement in a timely fashion.

Re: K1-II spec leaked, seems like minor improvements only
The K5IIs actually made the K5 useful, I'm still using my mK5IIs, my pair of K5 bodies are long gone, their focus speed/accuracy in low light was appalling.

Re: PESO a pre-gig shot
Thanks for all the comments, it's an interesting juxtaposition when an image like this is put beside the images shot when the musicians hit the stage. Prior it's a still life but as soon as the performers hit the stage the focus shifts to almost entirely to facial expressions, though essentially all shooting parameters remain the same.

PESO a pre-gig shot
Hi Team, Ann caught one of my recent images on FB and suggested that I should post it as a PESO, not being one to argue and being one of Ann's many admirers the image in question follows. I have been dribbling out images that I call my pre-gig pics, they are incidental images shot whilst checking my gear before shows start, I think some stand on their own reasonably well.

It's a new line-up every month and there's always something interesting to shoot, the light wasn't bad this night either, though it's not always that way. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pzl9f83gfpqbt7o/001_IMGL17874_exif.jpg?dl=0 Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: K-5 20K
Thanks Rick, I do give my cameras quite a workout, my main K3 is just past 225k shots I think, my just new D750 has about 20k shots on it already. Time is difficult to juggle at the moment, I don't get enough time to do things that I really need to so I only have time to pop in here once in a while :( All those shots come with consequences, I'm steadily working my way through a backlog of shoots, so not much time to post anywhere and less time to do my own thing. One day I'll get it under control :) On 1 November 2017 at 04:16, Rick Womer <rickpic...@gmail.com> wrote: > Rob, as I said, "20K is just a quiet week's work" for some on the list. > > I miss your posts here.

Re: K-1 grumbles
The buffer issue is partly why I bought a D750 instead of a K1, there's plenty to love about the K1 but AF and buffer depth aren't on the list. The D750 has a buffer depth count-back that lest you know as you're shooting how many shots you have left in the buffer, not that it's really a problem as it clears so fast. But the point is the Nikon recognises the buffer clearing to be an important aspect of camera performance so much so that they built an indicator so you always know here you are rather than being literally left in the dark. The D750 isn't as capable of achieving AF lock in really low light but it's so good in other ways that I'll forgive it.

The 120mm has a great reputation but I've not tried one myself, well priced used too. Though I think that the 120mm is probably a bit close to the 90mm in FL to make it really useful.

Re: Stuck Battery In Pentax Q
Ouch, you're between a rock and a hard place there. If it was me I would take the brutal approach, the battery is toast so I would opt to destroy the battery however there is a danger to it. If you open the battery and it gets sufficient oxygen even if discharged it can spontaneously combust (burn, not generally explode if there is a vent). I would take it outside and bring a drill, electric screw driver, a screw with good deep thread, a pair of robust pliers and a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw. Drill into the battery, quickly screw the screw in and yank the lot out. Otherwise send it in for service (where they would very likely do exactly the same thing).

Re: Pentax 645Z V Fuji V Hassy
I must say that I couldn't image shooting an EVF in studio, the 645 works really well for that, I'd love a good low light EVF based camera for some of my more quiet live performance jobs but for now I just get by with the RX100.

Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners
I still have three scanners, LS8000 for roll film, V700 for generating contact sheets, rough scans and 4x5+. For 35mm film stocks I use a dedicated 35mm scanner which is optimised for the task, it's a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II, it's the bee's knees, that said any scanning is a PITA. If you throw good $$$ at a decent scanner it's pretty easy to get similar money back when you're done, cheap rental really.

Re: GESO Art Party All Stars Sydney Finale!
Thanks Bruce, it was, everything happens there, drama, live reading, spoken word, music, poetry, burlesque, fire, I've seen it all there. Sadly that's the last one for Sydney, it ran for four years monthly, I covered 11 of the events including two anniversary editions that were pretty epic. The problem is venues are difficult to find, that place is a studio during the day, you can see the two wall cyclorama in the background and they risk losing their main business if the council finds out that they are using it for a performance space. The little venues are being squeezed out due to lock-out laws and redevelopment/gentrification.

GESO Art Party All Stars Sydney Finale!
Hi Guys, I don't get much time to hang out here these days but I'm still shooting Pentax for the moment, two K3's and a K5iis. The following gallery is an example of one of the types of events I shoot these days (for those not on FB). There are shots in there for the producers, the artists and the audience, many of the audience are performers themselves so it's an interesting gig to shoot. Typically the light is pretty poor and mixed, I just generally wind up the ISO and get on with it. Some shows I'm rarely below ISO3200 and occasionally up to ISO26500. I work with a pair of cameras, one fitted with a long zoom and one with a short one, that way I don't have to swap lenses during pieces and I can grab the other camera when I have run out of buffer, which happens pretty regularly. There are some stitched panos at the end for a broader horizontal FOV, all shot hand held and stitched in LR6. Logos and copyright notice are all pre-programmed for particular events and are automatically applied on export direct to Dropbox, Clients all have their own Dropbox root folder. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y3sbbwh6dwe3urc/AACHnaJvNnxrtnA1XZ4H_oYMa?dl=0 FB galleries are here https://www.facebook.com/pg/distudio.com.au/photos/?tab=albums IG https://www.instagram.com/rob.distudio/ and https://www.instagram.com/robscapes/ Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PDML 2017 Book Upload is Live!

Hi Team, It's been a while, looks like a missed a bit here. No K1 for me yet, still slogging away with my K3, hoping that the successor to the K3 bodies appears soon and with a sensor similar to that in the K70 since my main body is approaching 200k shutter cycles and sounding a bit tired. I spend most of my on-line time on FB now as that's where most of my connections to work are but I'm still happy that you are all here keeping the PDML's blood pumping, I do pop in to read but I don't get much of a chance to post these days.
