Photos from the rosegarden Sunday
On Sunday, John took Angel and I to a rose garden in San Jose, I finally had a chance to do a quick sort and process on my photos. Despite the wind, I got a few decent ones: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157618121808920/ I'm still going through the 2700 or so shots I took the previous weekend in Chicago, so I'm wimping out and just doing the gallery thing.

Want to Trade - my DA 10-17 for a DA 12-24
I own a DA 10-17 that I would like to trade for a DA 12-24. The DA 10-17 used to be Godfrey's, and I rarely use it, so it is in excellent condition. I have the box, caps and soft case for it. If you have a DA 12-24 you'd like to trade, please let me know.

Re: New K body coming... official !
Not sure, Pentaw may go for: K-m, K-x (middle betwwen K200D/K20D but upgraded to modern specs of course) and K-7 at high end. As for your hands, the K-7 is less large than K10/K20 but taller so more space for hand than K10/K20. If not good enough, the grip will cure that problem. I won't say more but really, this K-7 has no 'usual Pentax' performance.

Re: People Scanning Our Prints
I agree with Paul. Non-photographers just see a picture as a souvenir or a record of an event. Can't see what the fuss is about. They just have different priorities. I would just gently point out that if they asked nicely, they could have an original print which will be so much nicer to look at than a copy of a print. Comparing the difference might actually lead them on the way to appreciating your work more. True story. My father went back to China recently to visit an old school friend. He captured a treasured picture with my old Optio S5 I'd given him. Red eye, hard shadows against the wall, chroma noise, hotspots and all. I cleaned it up a bit and gave him a nice print. I found out just in time that he scanned the print through his MFP, printed it out on laser copy paper and was about to post it back to his friend. Didn't want to trouble me for more prints, he said. I managed to convince him I'd be happy to make as many prints as he liked. Priorities, that's all. FWIW, yes it would irk me no end.

Re: People Scanning Our Prints
I'm with Paul on this. Quite some time back, I came to feel that the world in general no longer assigns any value to the physical print. Probably for a variety of reasons including, ease of duplication, display techniques (web, digital frames, etc.) and the already mentioned mindset of the snapshot/memory maker. Because of that, anytime I am dealing with a paying client, I put all the money to be made into the service of producing the photo, rather than loading the cost into the prints themselves. This way, no matter what they might do about prints (none-digital file,few,lots) I have made my money. So in this case, as has already been stated, be flattered that he thought it was good enough to copy and distribute. You might want to contact him and let him know that you could provide the original digital file from which much better prints could be made. Chances are that no one who received a print will care about the quality - including the Father-In-Law. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, May 14, 2009, 3:22:18 AM, you wrote: ps I might be slightly annoyed, but I would pretend not to care.

Re: People Scanning Our Prints
Late on the thread, and being able to read other ideas do have some advantages. I am very annoyed by this behavior. Specially when it's not a family pic and looks this is the case. Assuming you gave your friend one of your photos - the one you took because you ARE a photographer and not because he asked you or because it's his kid on the photo. I'd talk to my friend. Tell him (or her, makes no diff) that I am serious about my photos, and that's including the exact presentation, and that any repro is not ok with me, because: 1) it's MY work and I'm the one entitled to copy or not, 2) it's MY work and I'm the one in charge of the quality, 3) it's MY work and the moment I chose to present him I didn't include anyone else in the present but him. And yes, the choice IS mine, since it is MY work. Do sign you photos, date and in case of gifts, speaking for myself I'd be very honored to see it properly dedicated (assuming that's the word) to me. Because the gesture IS important, and that's a photo you gave me - not one I bought. If my something (Dad is no fool and a photographer himself), in charge of framing my gift would do some xerox, scanning or even photographing my gift to repro, I would beat him hard. Not only because it's your work, but also because it's MY gift... OTOH, it IS a cumpliment, of sorts, and that kind of behavior - copyright bypass - is deep into most minds. If they download the Mona Lisa, whyinhell not to xerox that pretty pic??? They don't do it with bad stuff - and every master gets copied sooner or later.

Re: Garden Walk
Thanks, Christine. I like this shot, but it was not one that I had hoped would make the gallery. I was really hoping they would take my House of the Sun and Jellyfish images that I placed in the PDML photo book. Both got lots of nice comments here, but both were rejected by Pentax. In addition to the Garden Walk image, they took another of my images of the crater of Haleakala, one that is not quite as abstract: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTISTsubSection=1309043subSubSection=5251829language=EN They also took my image of the staircase in the Barnegat Lighthouse. I had shown it here, and most people thought that the light was too distracting. I cropped it to eliminate the light, but that was rejected. Then, I cloned out the light, but that was also rejected. Surprisingly, when I went back to the original, uncropped and unmanipulated version, it made the gallery: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTISTsubSection=1309043subSubSection=5094821language=EN I can't really figure it out, but I'm happy they finally took three of my images.

Re: People Scanning Our Prints
Good point on the paying client - for a lng time I was considering the pro discount in the lab just a poor compensation for the extra job of taking the order and delivering the prints. The moment our local labs started offering the same price to any customer I started delivering the negs on most jobs. About the quality, their probable inability to perceive the low quality of the repro wouldn't make it easier, since I able and wouldn't enjoy the knowledge of my work being watched as a poor repro.

Re: People Scanning Our Prints
Sort of a follow up on this topic which may be of interest to Canadian subscribers. My understanding is that the big box store from Bentonville, the one Sam Walton started no longer honours copyrights in Canada. The lab I am in has an anything goes policy that allows the customer to scan and print whatever they like. All they have to do is click yes on the copyright ownership screen and they can print whatever they like off our machines. I presume, though can't confirm, that this is a corporate wide policy for the Canadian arm of the company.

I was kind of disappointed that the K10/20D were only 3FPS with a buffer of ~14 raw images when they came out.

I got so good at living within the FPS and buffer limits of the K100D (RAW buffer is a whopping 3!), that when I started to shoot with my K20D it felt -- and still does -- completely limitless. And I'm going after action shots (musicians on-stage) where i have to use continuous AF. Anything better that the K20D would be enabling new realms of shooting, like sports, rather than helping me out with existing. -bmw -- 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.

It doesn't sound like he did it to screw you. You might start putting copyrights on your images, it probably won't stop copying but you can then tell the recipient that it is illegal to do so.

I'd let it go and chalk it up to experience and never give those people another print again. ;-) If, on the other hand, it's an artful print, something that would be obviously (to them) saleable or otherwise of interest to the general population, then I would have a gentle chat with them about copyright laws and of how you gifted them that print alone, not the rights to further distribute it. Look at it as an opportunity to educate the ignorant so they don't do it again to you or anyone else.

DA* 60-250 focus tests
I tested autofocus and field flatness at f4 and several focal lengths. Camera on a tripod. Flat field test was a shot of a wooden panel with grain. The focus adjustment test was done with an 18x 12 print of a 360 dpi scaled target I made in PhotoShop and printed on the R2400 at highest resolution. I've found that targets downloaded from the web are so lo-res as to be useless. The focus field appears to be perfectly flat at 60mm and 250 mm. The autofocus is very close, so I don't think I'll adjust it. It appeared to be right on at 60mm and registered a wee bit of front focus at 250mm. I've found that none of my zooms are identical in terms of focus error at wide and long ends. The 60-250 seems to be the closest yet. I think I'll go take some pictures.

how many mSec between frames without flipping the mirror?
It seems to me that it should be possible to expand dynamic range by firing off two (or three) frames on the same shutter press. It wouldn't work for sports, but for many shots even the motion in 1/5 second (assuming 5 FPS) would be acceptable. If the mirror is the limiting factor, maybe 1/50 second rather thant 1/5 second between frames would be doable. Especially since a lot of the time when I have rough dynamic range issues, I'm already shooting at something like 1/10 second, so two frames of 1/10 second and 1/80 or 1/160 second would be a good match, and the stutter between the two frames would be negligable compared with the blur. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.

Re: People Scanning Our Prints
On 13/5/09, Christine Aguila, discombobulated, unleashed: I'd very much like to know everyone's views about something that has just happened to me; here's the story: I gave a nice print--as a gift--to a friend. My friend's father-in-law took the print to get it framed, and come to find out, he also made some scans of the print and gave them to family members. I'm just going to come out and say it--I'm really irked by this. I often sign my prints in the lower right hand edge, but I didn't on this print. How irked would you guys be? What, if anything, would you guys do or say? I would say that you will possibly put a friendship in jeopardy if you make a fuss. Breathe deep, gather your thoughts, learn from your experience and let it go :-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- 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.
