Ok, there's no way I wanted this here. I mean to reply to the "You may want to check Pentax news Thursday (no, no FF, no 645)" post. No more PDML until after my nap.
Hopefully not from the medical imaging division. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Robinson Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 3:02 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: The pressure is on (lens/camera advice?)

Not great (I didn't "square the box" well enough when putting the outlines on the ground) but everyone so far has been very happy with the amount of detail/resolution. I'm told "I've never been able to make out faces in the back" before. Happily, with the K10D and DA16-50, I was able to do this even with the rain pouring down. Oddly, it is difficult to discern that it is raining when you look at the image. The picture here is presented using the "Zoomify" export option from CS4 - mostly because I don't want anyone to have an easily- downloadable copy of an image which they hopefully will want to PURCHASE from the organizers of the festival. I guess what I'm saying is: If you don't do FLASH you won't (sorry) be able to see this. Otherwise - click to zoom if you so desire! http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2009/td_2009_group_saturday/TD_2009_GROUP_SAT.html The colors sort of look drab after exporting through "zoomify". They're a bit snappier in the real image. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure out why... -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
