The good news is that the focusing trouble might have just been my finger blocking the manual focus ring at the end of the lens. The bad news is that no good deed goes unpunished. On my ride a woman was having trouble catching her dog, so I rode past where the dog was, parked my bike, and it promptly fell over. The smart function knob on my K-3 III broke off, and what remains no longer turns. About two months after the warranty expired. Sigh, I never used that feature anyways, it's not worth paying precision $537 to replace it. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(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: GESO: Spiders and Snake
It seems that those are red velvet ants.

I remember when I was a kid all of the anti-drug propaganda that was made by adults who were desperately trying to send out messages that were "cool", and failing miserably. I also look at every fashion trend that I think is incredibly lame, but which is the hot buzz, from wearing trousers hanging so low that half your underwear is visible to "stanced" cars, that I think is incredibly lame, but nonetheless is "cool". I can't tell whether this is a case of Ricoh cluelessly trying to be cool, my being clueless at what actually is cool, or both. There is a lot to be said in favor of the not just being a 'me too' company and trying new things. I personally would prefer a K-1 III, and I'd also prefer a UI that put less effort into being a large heavy expensive point and shoot, and more into making it easier to get the best possible raw file. Unfortunately, once again, I am not what large companies perceive as their target market, otherwise I would have been able to find a sporty rear wheel drive hatchback (estate or shooting brake) car that gets >35MPG on the freeway, has a manual transmission and doesn't have all sorts of "features" where the car does things that the driver doesn't explicitly tell it to do. > > Over on the Forum of Pentax this camera is getting quite a bit of buzz from > people who still treat photography as a fun experiment.

I'm inclined to suggest that one of the biggest advantages of film is that every frame does cost money, it is what forces you to slow down and think about each shot. If Ricoh were really thinking outside the box, they would take a film SLR and replace the focusing screen with a sensor.

I've been dealing all weekend with not being able to upload a picture to flickr. It turns out that it is only the latest version that won't upload, and is some sort of pathological interaction between lightroom and flickr, such that the jpeg lightroom produces won't even upload. FWIW, it's an old HDR panorama that I just reprocessed using the much more capable latest version of lightroom: https://photos.app.goo.gl/V4gw9KhEzr284AJd8 I had been getting some feedback on processing it from my photo email list. While I was out at the milonga last night I got an email from flickr customer support about that, and also a text from my landlord that he had replaced my thermostat (as I had asked) but didn't have batteries and would return. I told Bing, no problem, I had batteries and could do it myself. So, of course things didn't just work. At least not until I dropped it on the floor, and also fiddled with the batteries and scraped the connector pins. Not a critical problem, but a pain in the but after 10PM when I wanted to get ready for bed. After that, I went into the office to try to debug the flickr problem, and also send a file off to bay photo to get a print made. While I was dealing with that I got a text from Zab of water in the glasses cupboard in Felton. We had had some minor issues with water coming in from the outside roof, and running down the inside roof (Santa Cruz mountains house) and coming out over the outside stairs. Now water was coming into the house. That is a problem that I couldn't just postpone dealing with. I finally got all of those issues sufficiently dealt with that I could go to bed, much later than I intended, and after much searching etc. realized that I had left my tablet at the diner after lunch. I suspect that when they cleaned up while I was in the loo, they thought I left and had just put it under the counter. I was able to get it back today at lunch, but it was just another item on the pile of peeves last night. I'll add to that the peeve that this is the second time my tablet has been left at a restaurant, and nobody noticed the sticker on the back with my name and phone number. I've spent all day dealing with the roof leak from 400 miles away, it could possibly just be duff that had piled up behind the skylight. I'll find out later I suppose. I really don't need shit like this while on a big crunch at work. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(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: Another lightroom redo
Interesting. Thank you people. I had felt that in general the first version was a bit "over spiced". I'm trying to find the right balance between making the image pop, and overdoing it. If you look at other photos in the collection, there is a lot of light pollution close to the horizon, and when saturation and vibrance are dialed up a lot of swatches of green and magenta noise in the sky in general. The new version of lightroom does make it easier for me to duplicate and modify masks, so when I get a chance, I can try a version with more saturation, contrast and clarity in the milky way. Is there consensus that I should also bring up the exposure on the foreground? I did create a mask for the snow on mount Shasta, which I had dialed down a bit from the previous print.

I decided to have a go at another one of my photos, trying to take advantage of new features in lightroom. It is an HDR panorama (at 15 and 20 seconds).

It does provide a good view of the area so I took a bunch of photos just for reference as I learn the local area. Some of those didn't totally suck, so I threw them into the album from both camera and phone. I found it interesting to compare the phone JPEGs with the phone DNGs, processed in Lightroom. After last week's storms, there's a fair bit of snow on nearby mountains making them rather picturesque. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53521740123/in/album-72177720314703860/ This place must have been quite pretty 60 years ago before it got all built up.

If by "cheesegrater" you mean a 5,1 rather than the current mac pros, they stopped working with Lightroom long before this problem cropped up (lightroom 12 seems to be the start of it).

Reprocessing an old file in lightroom
One of my more popular photos was this one from back in 2009, taken with the K20 and FA 31 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4331502051/in/album-72157623355877348/ I was always frustrated that the poor low light noise of the K20 adversely affected the image quality. I just spent some time this afternoon playing around with it in Lightroom classic 13.1, which has better noise reduction, and also much better adjustment brushes.

Thanks Alan. There aren't a lot of places for both dinner and dancing, they're done consecutively these days. I'm very happy with the lens. I got it more for photographing musicians, where I always want a bit more reach and a bit more speed. For these I could have used my 77, especially since I had the 85 stopped down to 2.2, but it was fun to play with it. Most of my shooting lately has been with the K-3II. It's a lot easier to carry on bike rides, and it works well with the 18-270. It was interesting to compare things like focus speed, buffer speed, and focusing with the joystick vs the toggles.

Yeah, and sometimes I don't realize that I want to remember where a photo was taken until some time later. Or, I'll just simply forget to use the phone to geotag.

While we're on the subject of making use of sensors ...
One of the things I wish that lightroom could do is make use of the accelerometer data to level the images in post processing. Yeah, it works pretty well when there's a visible horizon just using the image, but the accelerometers would get it so much faster. In a similar vein, they'd also be really helpful for stitching panoramas, particularly with compass data as well. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(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: Pentax APS-C cameras
It seems that the only ones with internal GPS are the K-1, and the K-3II There might be some mode where you can use the gps off the phone through the app on the K-3 III. Or that might be something that I saw my u4/3 can theoretically do. What I have been doing on the K-3 III is just taking photos with phone, importing those into lightroom, so I can use those to look on the map to see where I took the photos. > On Jan 20, 2024, at 12:01 AM, Alan C wrote: > > Sorry, none of those - they all need the clip-on O-GPS1 as do the K3i & > K3iii, K5 series & a few others. > > It seem only the K3ii has built in GPS like the K1. > > Alan C > > On 20-Jan-24 06:30 AM, Alan C wrote: >> https://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=pentax_k70=pentax_kf=pentax_kp=pentax_ks2 >> >> >> Alan C >> >> On 20-Jan-24 01:37 AM, Mark Roberts wrote: >>> What is the most recent Pentax APS-C camera that has built-in GPS like >>> the K-1?

Fun and games with astro
Last month I bought an iOptron equatorial mount in preparation for the upcoming solar eclipse. Using it for astro work is a side benefit that I was definitely looking forward to. Combatting the drought was a side benefit that I should have expected. The sky in Riverside is impressively bad, in addition to the light pollution there is the near constant haze, dust etc. With rain on Saturday night, few clouds, and a favorable moon, things looked promising for getting some practice with the new toy. I guess I can say that my excursion was a success, in that one of my primary goals was to find the problems. While I was at it, I figured it would be a good time to try out the type 3 astrotracer on my K-3 III. According to the "dark sky" map I looked at, there's a place about halfway between Riverside and Palm Springs that looked promising. I loaded up camera gear, and warm clothes and headed out. My first challenge was to find a place off the freeway where I could park and set up my gear. That took a bit of work, I did find something not far from an Arrowhead water plant and the train tracks. I got there and was having trouble finding "North", the compass mode on my phones sky map app wasn't working well, and I decided to set up the K-3 III on my small tripod. The first thing that I learned is that the ball head on the Heipi travel tripod is not sufficient for a camera with the bigma on it. Fortunately I had brought my old big ball head. The next thing I learned was that a green laser is very helpful for aiming, it would be even more helpful if I had a way of mounting it to an arca swiss plate, or hot shoe. There was definitely a learning curve getting the type 3 astrotracer working. I was reminded last night about just how horrible Ricoh documentation is. It also requires a pretty solid bright object to target. Did I mention that the sky sucked? I also found myself missing the adjustable screen on the K-1. I also wish that there was some way of telling whether it is still running an astrotracer shot, or if it has finished. As to the equatorial mount, I was never even able to get it aimed. My list of difficulties is too long to enumerate, but I've bought a simple compass rather than relying on google sky map. Also, did I mention that the sky sucked On future attempts it looks like I'll need to drive the hour and a half out to Joshua Tree. My sidequest of learning K-3 III astrotracer was successful to the point of getting some frames in which the Orion Nebula is recognizable. Better than a previous attempt some years ago on a partly cloudy night half way between San Jose and Santa Cruz. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720313901027 I've gotten to that stage of my life where my goal for an evening isn't so much to get great photos, but to try and learn about all of the problems before I go and try to get some good shots. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(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.

Long term is basically Year/month/shoot with shoot named yymmdd_mnemonic Under the shoot directory I may split things out as convenient, by person being photographed, set of photos in a panorama, type of airplane, then individual airplane. There may be multiple "shoot" directories that all start off with the same date: 240102 Or there may be several days in the same shoot directory with a date arbitrarily chosen for the naming. So, I basically import into ~/photos_fresh/shoot Organize the shoot directory/directories (if I import from different cameras into different directories) Do all of my processing, then I'd move the shoot directory tree: ~/photos_fresh/240102_example into its final resting place: /mnt/photo_bb/2024a/2401/240102_example > > When I take pictures around home, I import via LR directly to my internal > drive in the appropriate month’s directory. > > For me, I found that using named folders (e.g., Birds, Water Falls, baseball, > …) led me down too many rabbit holes, and I keep my folders by date.

They never change place on the Folders panel. Oddly, you and I seem to have different workflows. I import files into my "photos_fresh" directory on my SSD. I then organize them into topical subdirectories when processing. You aren't interested in the full directory tree methodology, but this way if Lightroom ever goes away, I have a nice logical way of finding things in whatever I use next. Once I have finished processing, or at least sorting, the files they get copied onto long term storage, an external case with my entire catalog on a couple of drives. And every so often, I do a "catchup", where I "export to catalog" all of the files I have edited since my last catchup, and then import those changes to my "everything" catalog. Since I mostly only use the external drives when I'm archiving files, or occasionally reworking old files, I don't usually even have it plugged in or connected to the trashcan, protecting it from anything that might go wrong with the computer. > > The reason for this is probably because, when I set them up, I drilled down > through the directory hierarchy on the volumes to the root of the photo > storage directory trees and then told LR to "Hide Parent Directory" on all > folder hierarchies above (or below, per your perspective) that point.

Hmm, interesting, it is convenient for me to know where certain directory trees are. Some years are on one of the external drives, other years on the other. There are other branches as well.

My year in photos
My photography over the past year was very much in fits and starts. Almost all of the photography I've done the past three months has been on bike rides. 3rd quarter faves https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720313760301/ Some may find it interesting to compare the image quality of my Lumix, my phone and my K-3III in this album from my various rides, most of you would probably think the album is just too long. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720313784344 The micro 4/3 is wonderfully convenient to carry on the bike, but the sensor is rather noisy in adverse conditions https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53436961736/ lightroom's denoise filter does an impressive job, however https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53436961616 As to my annual "best of", it is interesting to be reminded that a year ago yesterday I heard a loud noise which turned out to be a landslide where the back yard of a house across the river from mine slid into the river. Then in March a tree fell on my neighbor's house, a week later one fell on the power lines in front of my other neighbor's house, and my property ended up on the news behind the anchor man talking about all of the landslides in the area. About a month after that, as we were moving into the new office, I heard some bangs behind the building, which turned out to be several cars engulfed in flames. The year ended much more quietly, and in retrospect the photo of the windmill was today's ride, so not actually 2024, but I'm not going to sweat petty details. 2023 faves https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720313756522/ -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(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.

Stacking cases
I posted pics of my first cheapass weather resistant camera cases a couple of weeks back. I've set up the next two for cameras and lenses. For the cases that have a spot for a camera body, I'll need to make compartments for the camera straps. For the third case, I'll need to make compartments for either a few lenses, and/or accessories like flashes. I figure that I'm about $160 into them for materials, $90 for the cases, $50 for the foam, and the rest is things like reflective tape, sales tax etc. I'm not counting tools that I used the project as an excuse to buy, like the $60 cordless multitool. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1JTA4jxGw4mniNQX9 The first case (orange) https://photos.app.goo.gl/qBJiJwnhtBrd4w658 has room for a body, and pretty much all of my "not huge" lenses that'll work on a "full frame" sensor. My DA35 macro does vignette a bit, but it's too handy and small not to include. The second case (blue) https://photos.app.goo.gl/9Un7aQKeLi8an3x97 has my "huge" lenses, the ones that are so big and heavy that they'd take the space of three other lenses in another case. The third case (green) https://photos.app.goo.gl/D3iXF4SRuaAskBZUA https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZCwh5KaydiieU4a59 Is nominally my APS case. It has my K-3, and my APS lenses (16-50, 18-270, 55-300), but since when I'm traveling I generally keep my long lens (bigma) on the K-3 and wider glass on the K-1, I set it up so that I can also carry the K-3 with either the bigma or the 70-200, so it'll be ready to go if I see an interesting critter I want to snap. I'll eventually cut compartments for other things, like flash accessories. I suspect that before too awful long I'll need to buy another chunk or two of foam and redo them as my needs change, and/or I learn more things that I didn't do quite right for my needs. I wouldn't use these cases when flying, but then I wouldn't ever check my cameras as baggage. They're a lot sturdier than the cloth camera bags I have been using, make at least an attempt at being water proof, and are a lot less expensive than Pelican cases. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(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.

LBA
A couple weeks back I mentioned that an 85/1.4 was on my wishlist, and that the best price that I had been able to find was $650. Last week I got a note from ebay that a seller in Dearborn was offering me one for $50 off. Financial temperance has never been my forte. The good: It arrived today, 15 minutes after I checked the mailbox at work, the first time. The bad: I left my camera at home. The silly: When I was checking it out I thought that it had broken because it wouldn't manually focus.

Re: Pentax K3 III Monochrome Review
He generally does fair reviews, but I can't take the time at work to watch it, though I can get away with occasionally checking email. Can you summarize? I'll guess: If you can afford $2200 for a body that you only use for monochrome, you get a stop better performance and better effective resolution.

has anyone tried the new firmware update?
A couple days after the new firmware for the K-1 dropped I saw someone on the facebook group complaining how it made his K-1 unusable. I don't remember the details. Being able to use the third gen astrotracer that operates based on a test shot rather than dead reckoning is very tempting, but not at the expense of breaking things. In a related note, has anyone tried using the third gen astrotracer in conjuction with an equatorial mount? It seems to me that if the equatorial mount is even reasonably close, the computational astrotracer could do an amazing job of fine tuning. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(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.
Gaining an appreciation for my Pentax gear
A while back I picked up a micro 4/3 kit to carry on bike rides. It is indeed a LOT smaller and easier to carry than even the APS Pentax kit. As things settle out these days, I've been doing most of my photography with it, because it seems the only time I take many photos is when I'm on a bike ride. As an aside, riding around the inland empire really makes me appreciate the Santa Cruz mountains as well, particularly anything at all off road is a very thorny issue. While a lot of the intuitive nature of a user interface is simply just being used to it, and I do appreciate certain aspects of the touch screen of the Gx9, I'm having a real problem getting used to it, finding what I need to do buried under 7 layers of menus. When I couldn't get the 5-button dial on the back to do anything other than change the focus point, I ended up giving up, and just doing a factory reset. Now I can't get it to change the focus point, but the touch screen works well for that. In terms of user experience, while EVFs have come a long way, this one is still a very, very long way from the optical viewfinder on my k-1 or my k-3 iii. Granted, for manual focusing particularly in limited light, it is hard to beat an OVF with focus peaking. I love me those high pass filters. I'm also gaining an appreciation of why so many small cameras are being wiped out by smart phones. I recently got a Pixel 8 pro, and while I have some gripes with its user interface, the image quality of it is usually nearly as good, often better than, the image quality of the micro 4/3. I realize that this isn't an entirely fair comparison, between a brand new, bleeding edge, top of the line smart phone and a micro 4/3 that was released 5 years ago, using "somewhat better than kit" zoom lenses. However, there is just something about the image quality of the raw files, particularly at anything past base ISO, they have very little dynamic range, and are often quite noisy. To be fair, the noise reduction in the latest lightroom can do wonders with those files, particularly on the sky. At some point, I'll need to look a bit more closely at some of the OLY bodies, likely the EM5-iii, but even used they're rather pricey to pick up "just to see what they're like", and it's not like there are any camera stores around. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(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.

wishlist items
I was doing some idle poking around on ebay, KEH etc. for some wishlist items and one thing that I'm actively looking for. I figure that it's worth mentioning them here in case anybody is looking to sell one of them, or has some important advice about any of these. The one thing that I'm actively looking for is an equatorial mount. I'm planning on heading out to visit my sister and catch the total eclipse in April. At the 2018 eclipse I just used a tripod and had to keep adjusting it every few minutes to keep the sun in the frame. There are a couple of lenses on my wishlist. I don't have an immediate need for them, but they're always on the back of my mind and I could be motivated by a particularly good deal. 85/1.4 I can find an FA* 85/1.4, with hood on ebay (from Japan) for $650, which is about half of what a dfa 85/1.4 would cost, even used. I love my 77/1.8 but when photographing musicians I always seem to want a bit more reach and a bit more speed. Sigma 18-35/1.8 Now that my K-3 III is my daily driver body, and my K-1 is my special purpose body, the 18-35 would be very handy for shooting indoors and save me from swapping between my 20/1.8 and 31/1.8. 24-70/2.8 I've got the tamron 28-75/2.8 and it's a great fair weather daily driver, but for foul weather I'm stuck with the 28-105 which is generally fast enough for outdoors which is where I usually need weather sealing. A modern "long" lens. My 50-500 bigma has given me many years of good service, but its focus is a bit slow and a bit noisy. There have been many times that I've tried to photograph a critter and as soon as I tried to autofocus the noise of the lens scared the beast away. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(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: Stabilized Eclipse Video
That indicates that it is not a total eclipse. The diamond ring shows up when just a very small amount of the sun starts poking out from behind the moon, and in an annular eclipse, there is always some sun visible.

OT: new phone comparo
Last week I got Pixeleighted, a Pixel 8 Pro. My Pixel 3XL still works OK, but they've stopped updating the software, some apps are starting to run a bit roughly, and I just don't have the time to deal with jail breaking it and running something like cyanogenmod. One of my motivations for the upgrade was the improved camera, or rather cameras. I will say right off the bat, that it is going to take some time to learn how to use it. I tried to set it up, and it got in a mode where every time I took a picture it would take photos for several seconds or something. On the other hand, it does have a mode where you can manually set shutter speed and ISO, possibly even manually focus it. I also managed to go for a bike ride today, my first one in several months. I've finally unpacked enough at the new place that I can take a few hours off for something like a bike ride. When I stopped to take some photos with the u43 Lumix, GX9 I spontaneously decided to try some side by sides with the phone. With the 14-150 at 14mm, it was a very similar angle of view to the phone at "1x", though you can tell the difference between them by the aspect ratio. This album has photos made from the phone jpeg, dng and the Lumix raw files. Pretty much the only processing done was raw conversion, and autotoning of the Lumix raw files https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720312632275 Summary: Once I learn the gear, I should be able to get adequate photos with either of them, but their main advantages are convenience, if I really care about image quality, I'll use one of my Pentax cameras. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(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.
