Re: PESO It's all about that bass

2024-06-03 Thread Henk Terhell
Larry, you may be complaining about the focusing of the K-1, however 
these pictures show again how good this camera performs in low light 
situations.
It looks to me that with saturation or point color in Color Mixer of LR 
you should be able to adjust colour balance where the artificial light 
is too pronounced.

I just realized that I forgot to apply Lightroom Noise Reduction before posting

Well Larry, as Ralf says, you did a good job and really captured the 
atmosphere. I must say I prefer the monochrome images. We haven't been 
to a function like that for many years. They do occasionally have dance 
evenings out here in the sticks but it is all Boeremusiek! (You can look

Re: Status Update K-3 repairs and OT photos

2024-05-31 Thread Stan Halpin
In your collection of “old dead tractors”, this shot : 20240527-P5270049 of a 
Farmall … In the 1950-51 era, my dairy farmer grandfather bought his first 
(used) tractor, transitioning from work horses and eventually freeing up room 
in his barn for an additional three milking stations. The tractor was my first 
experience driving a motorized vehicle. He would never have allowed his tractor 
to get to the stage of disrepair as the one in your photo!  Thanks for a trip 
down memory lane!

Status Update K-3 repairs and OT photos

2024-05-31 Thread Larry Colen
I decided that since the OM-5 works OK for carrying on my bike, I was better 
off getting the K-3III repaired while I'm in a photographic lull, lest I find 
something else critical that is wrong when I absolutely need it, and then find 
out that it'll take weeks or months to get it repaired. So, I sent it to 
Precision, their estimate is now up to $683, and it turns out that the parts 
are on back order for a week or two.  So, yeah.

I've had a few chances to go on bike rides and am becoming more familiar with 
the OM-5.  It really does make me appreciate the Pentax UI.  A few years back I 
commented that when processing photos, comparing my APS Pentax with a friend's 
full frame Nikon, I could get similar quality with the Pentax, but that the 
files "felt more brittle".  I'm running into the same thing with the OM-5, only 
more so, it feels like I have very little extra dynamic range to work with.

On my bike ride Monday, I found a place of Reche canyon where someone has 
collected a bunch of old dead tractors and just has them sitting around, and 
rather than a No Trespassing sign, his signs simply say that if you get hurt, 
you can't blame him. I had just photographed this yellow tractor when a bright 
pink "honey bucket" truck was driving past, so I had to grab another shot:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53755809787/in/album-72177720317430356/

In other news, I needed to upgrade my local storage and a friend offered me a 
QNAP 435A 4-bay NAS.  I bought it, and some refurb/returned 16T drives off 
Amazon. With RAID 5 it gives me almost 43 TB, which is nice, about twice my 
current photo library.  I'm trying to point my Lightroom Library at it, and I 
dunno if it is the QNAP, my trashcan mac, or whether using a NAS over a 1G net 
but while things seem to work, they aren't, as yet, working well.

Re: New photos on line

2024-05-30 Thread mike wilson
Stunning stuff in the first one.  I'm intrigued by the giant gatepost; amused 
by the stickers; flabbergasted by the final image of the glaciated landscape.

The Cumbrian ones seem, in contrast, much more intimate.  Especially with a 
Llama.  BTW, I have a historian friend who reckons those circular sheep pens 
are probably the oldest continuous use structures in the UK.  You certainly 
have an eye for an image.

Stan, I now have a surge protector / uninterruptible power supply for my 
computer, and a surge protector for our mini split AC/heating system (whose 
board also got toasted). Alas our electrician fell ill and went out of 
business, and we haven’t identified another one yet to put in a surge protector 
for the rest of the house.

A long delayed OT comment re your power surge and related computer issues…

Several years ago our trusted local electrician installed a whole-house surge 
protector. A relatively small attachment on the main panel. I think it has 
worked properly, we’ve had no issues even when neighbors were having storm

District. A major rain storm floods out the northwestern UK while

Just been soaked by trying (and failing) to rescue the canvas roof of the 
gazebo which must have had in excess of 200lbs of water gathered in it.  
Managed to push it partway to the edge when rrriip and cold shower 
time.  My ecological consultancy did work in Carlisle about a decade or so ago 
after much of the town was flooded.  Home to the only known urban colony of 
brook lampreys in the UK, as we discovered, so mitigation was quite 
comprehensive.  Even so, new, one metre higher, flood walls were built - which 
came within 10cm of overtopping within the year.  It's not a problem that will 
go away.  Fingers crossed for tomorrow.  Shout if things go sideways.

So how's *your* day going? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjkkm6x0v5po.amp
We're in on high ground in the center of the city but we're concerned about our 
train tomorrow. Check out the second photo in that BBC article (the busses in 
the flooded car park); we just walked through there 10 minutes ago.

I mentioned that a few weeks ago I helped a woman catch her dog, in the 
process, with the heavy camera in the handlebar bag the bike fell over.  
Shortly thereafter I noticed some issues with the lens focusing, but they 
seemed to correlate with low contrast situations, the camera wouldn't solidly 
lock focus on mountains through the haze.  A couple days later I noticed the 
smart function dial on the K-3 III was broken.  

I took the camera and lens to the local repair shop today, I hadn't noticed 
that the barrel of the lens was actually broken:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/rW86kLCAo8vWTRKa9

The estimates were something like $450 for the lens (which I can buy used for 
half of that), and $700 (even more than precision) for the camera body.

Sigh.  I think that for now I'll replace the lens with an 18-135, much less 
expensive, water resistant, smaller, and I think sharper at least within its 
range.

When I have some time, I may try taking the lens apart and doing a kluge fix 
myself.  In any case, if anyone has either an 18-135 or 18-270 they're looking 
to offload, let me know.  I'm also beginning to think that I should just pony 
up the dineros and send the K-3 III to precision in case there is anything else

If they are all in the same parent folder, you should be able to copy that and 
move it, if not you should be able to select them all at once and copy them.

You could also try using Carbon Copy Cloner.

from the console you could do
mkdir /Volumes/newdrive/photofolder
cp -pr * /Volumes/newdrive/photofolder

Re: Pentax Film Camera News

2024-05-17 Thread Bob W PDML
Pentax seem to be running a teaser campaign for the new film camera. Turn the 
sound on to hear them plugging the manual film winding experience. To me it 
sounds like a wheel/dial rather than a crank for winding on.

right-click on them and select "mount".  I do this with my external SSD as I

Re: Pittsburgh

2024-05-15 Thread Stan Halpin
45-50 years ago, my then wife got into a graduate program at Carnegie Mellon, I 
was working in the D.C. area. She came home some weekends, I drove to 
Pittsburgh some weekends. So, I did spend quite a bit of time there over 
several years. But I must say I never really payed attention to the city 
itself, it was just another urban area. I was very pleased to see the city now 
through Rick’s eyes.
I need to go back through old slides and see if I even did any photography 
there.

You may wish to check your energy savings settings on your new iMac, to 
see if you have the external drives set to sleep when not in use. It 
could be, depending on the drive, that they go to sleep and vanish from 
the sidebar.


As always, if you change a setting, restarting the computer is the next 
step.

Hi Dave,

You might have a format problem with the older drives. If there’s enough free 
space on one to hold all the files, you might want to move them over and 
reformat the empty drive. Then, repeat with the other drive. Or simply by a 
hard rive of 2T or more and move the files to that drive, then reformat the 
empty drives.

I was up in Great Smokey Mountains National Park for a long weekend, but 
there was fairly heavy overcast.


Lots of people up at Newfound Gap on Saturday night showed me their 
great cell phone photos & videos they'd taken on Friday night


... when I was asleep in Pigeon Forge. But I don't think I missed 
anything because it was overcast & raining in Pigeon Forge Friday night too.


Bright & sunny most of the day, but the clouds rolled in right around 
sunset.

Very nice Mark!  I’ve noted your posts on social media have focused on 
performing an assessment of as many distilleries as possible in a short time 
period. I am glad to see that you did have time for photography as well!

We will be visiting several coastal towns in Scotland this July (in a small 
cruise ship, on our way to some fjords in Norway). The closest stop to Islay 
for us will be the Isle of Mull, just a bit further north. I am hoping for 
photo opportunities similar to yours.

That looks like a really nice spot, and some nice photos. 

The ‘out of order’ sign on the stamp machine is pretty definitive isn’t it - if 
they make it out of cast iron I’d say they don’t plan on fixing the machine! 
I’d forgotten stamp machines even existed, haven’t seen one for decades.

Part 1 of our UK trip is done and I've uploaded a rough cut of photos.
Since this is a walking holiday I left the full-frame kit at home and
these were all taken with the K-3ii and either the DA 16-50/2.8 or the
55-300WR (both really superb lenses). These are all from the Isle of
Islay in Scotland (and, yes, I did a good amount of Scotch tasting
along the way).

https://www.flickr.com/photos/166715344@N04/albums/72177720316943057/

More than a few times I've found myself wishing I'd brought the DA
12-24 (if Pentax were to make a weather sealed version of this lens
I'd buy it in a heartbeat).

Next: Getting on a train to Ulverston in the lake district for the
serious walking stage of our trip.

Re: OT. OM-5 first impressions

2024-05-14 Thread Larry Colen
Another weird thing about the camera I noticed on my hike is that if you're 
shooting in "non-silent" mode, it doesn't just make the shutter sound with a 
speaker, there's some haptic bump to the camera.  I guess if what you care 
about is whether it feels like a film camera that's nice, if however you care 
about image sharpness, then something that bumps the camera around while you're 
taking photos can't be good.

I wasn't planning on it, but I'll try to give it a try. If I really care enough 
about image quality on a shot to do that, I'll use my K-1.  Although in 
retrospect, it might actually make a stop or two difference in noise/dynamic 
range.

I was debating which to get and the impression I got (which is why I got the 
OM-5), is that if you don't have either, it's worth while buying the OM-5, but 
it's not worth trading in for.  Unless of course you want an excuse to get a 
new camera.  :-)

Pittsburgh

2024-05-13 Thread Rick Womer
We took a short trip to Pittsburgh last month, and were able to enjoy this 
pleasant city in beautiful weather. 

The city is where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio 
River, which flows west to the Mississippi River.  My family had driven through 
Pittsburgh when I was a child, and I remember smoke and steel mills. Now only 
one steel mill remains, the smoke is gone, and the city is prosperous.

The views are excellent from Mount Washington, an escarpment south of the 
downtown area, served by two pairs of antique funicular rail cars (we went up 
and down the Duquesne Incline; the other (Monangahela Incline, about a mile 
away) was closed.

The visible bridges are among 446 in Pittsburgh, the most of any city in the 
world (and 3x the number in Venice).

The bronze figure on the bench, “Sidewalk Judge,” is by Seward Johnson, an heir 
to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and an artist.

Comments and critiques eagerly anticipated.
