Re: GESO: Costa Rica
On 3/9/06, Jerome Reyes, discombobulated, unleashed: Guys and Gals, Here's a link to a gallery I composed from our recent trip to Costa Rica. You should be warned, however, that it is more of a trip report than a show of anything really gallery worthy. The gallery is huge, but I offer it nonetheless for any and all who are remotely interested in Costa Rica and have time to spare. All photos taken with either the ist-D (high numbers) or a Pentax point-and-shoot (low numbers). http://exposedfilm.net/costarica/ Also, the most recent entry in the monthly journal part of the website (August) includes my first photos with the K100. Literally as soon as the K100 arrived, I jumped in the already-packed car and drove to Shenandoah for the weekend to play around with it. All but 3 or 4 of the photos were taken with the k100, with the occasional shot taken with the ist-D. http://exposedfilm.net/journal/2006/06aug/ Hi Jerome, thanks for sharing. Impressive galleries.

The guy was always in control. Sure, he acted like an idiot but that was a goofy character for ratings. He knew his shit and was always in control of the situation. What happened to him at the GBR was a freak accident. Stingray's stingers are very painful but it was only the fact that it nailed him in the chest and punctured his heart that killed him. I sort of agree with you both. Yes, I believe he knew what he was doing, but he also put himself rather closer to danger than most people would, if you know what I mean. It's still a bit strange that it would end up in exactly this way, though, as it seems to me he's taken greater risks in the past.

Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: Just responding to the thread's discourse, Dario, where it seemed to be suggested that that the camera would do the switching between the two modes. In practice, no. If I set the two ISO settings manually, and then switch the flash on/off manually, I switch between the two settings manually. I still don't see what you're suggesting would offer as any different from two or more user-configurable pre-set setup options. The purpose of my double setting is allowing to shoot say 300 pictures in two hours - 150 of which are shot with a flash and 150 are with available light only - and prevent I have to change the sensitivity setting (or the user setup option) back and forth 150+150 times in the dark. That's the reason for the double ISO setting I ask for. With such a function, I can set the two settings once at the beginning of the shooting session and be OK for the night. The same could happen with the white balance setting; one for available light (=flash off) and one for flash shooting (=flash on). The camera knows if the flash will fire. Why not using such info? This could be somewhat risky, since with slow synch you have flash on and plenty of both flash and environment light together. Like any good automatic function, this has to be an option I can enable/disable at will. And, of course, this is of little interest for RAW shooting. My Konica Minolta A2 has three. I find I don't use them as I too frequently forget what I've configured *and* find that I forget how to define them. I find it takes me less effort and time to change the ISO than to fuss with the presets. I fully agree with you here. The D also has three of them and I never use them for the same reason.

Re: Two GESOs: More flowers than you could shake a stick at
I looked at some of the photos on both sites. You seem to have lots of 'glow' in the flowers. I'm not sure that I like it, but it is interesting. What do you mean by glow? As I mentioned, they were all taken with my cheapass Sigma macro zoom, which is very sharp but doesn't have the greatest bokeh. If that's what you mean, then I totally understand. I've been shooting with my new D FA 100mm macro the last few weeks and have been much happier with the bokeh in my photos. Yesterday I tried shooting a flower with the 100mm macro stacked on three extension tubes and a macro bellows.

But I did not like his approach to dealing with wild animals. He claimed in TV interviews to have a unique talent to communicate with them and said he could do things with them that on one else could do. Perhaps that was true.

Re: Two GESOs: More flowers than you could shake a stick at
I just got around to taking a peek at the flowers, etc. and found that Ienjoy your work. Nice collection. Not necessarily a criticism, but they don't appear to be lacking in saturation. Some colors are almost iridescent, which might equate to a glow to some. The slightest softness, in some cases, might be described as a 'bloom' or glow. A combination that I'm certain would appeal to many. Jack --- John Celio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I looked at some of the photos on both sites. You seem to have lots of 'glow' in the flowers. I'm not sure that I like it, but it is interesting. What do you mean by glow?

I've been shooting with my new D FA 100mm macro the last few weeks and have been much happier with the bokeh in my photos.

Re: Two GESOs: More flowers than you could shake a stick at
John, The bright colors, some of the bright pedals or centers seem to glow. They are overly bright and seem to loose sharpness. I suppose this may be bleeding colors from the poor lens qualities.

Re: Two great small features I'd like o much
Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: Well, with the A2, for this purpose I would set up a user setting 1 for the ambient work and user setting 2 for the flash work, user setting 3 for .. etc, up to 5. Then it's just click-click to change the camera configuration between 5 different settings groups. I'd forget what I'd set by the next session a day later, so I'd re-set them specifically again. Although I don't normally use the feature (I don't normally have two/three specific setups for a single shooting session that would make it such an advantage ... which is why I never become familiar enough with it to remember how to set it up, etc), it seems like it addresses *exactly* what you want. My Konica Minolta A2 has three. I find I don't use them as I too frequently forget what I've configured *and* find that I forget how to define them. I find it takes me less effort and time to change the ISO than to fuss with the presets. I fully agree with you here. The D also has three of them and I never use them for the same reason. So why can't you do the same thing you're proposing with the D's custom user setups already? I could see the feature being useful this sort of thing, if this is indeed a situation you come across often. Because: 1 - Choosing Custom 1, 2, 3 with the D is not just click-click, it's: push menu button push down arrow push right arrow push OK button, push shutter release button That would be enough for not making it so much better than looking for the (blind, in the dark) ISO setting position on the mode dial and then setting it back onto the (still blind, in the dark) shooting mode position all the time. The Fn setting of the Ds is way better in this respect, and the K10D will also, And then: 2 - ISO is not among custom setting items! Enough, isn't it?

The French magazine Chasseur D'Image shows photographs of a rectilinear grid when they test lenses. I've always found this useful as a way of seeing distortion.

That shot has to be the new official photo in the NSU Math Department faculty pages :) (It certainly shows more character than what's there now: http://math.nsu.edu/jreyes/) All I can say is Hell Yeah!!! Mark, You're a hoot. Perhaps I should offer one of the shots of me at GFM for my YSU faculty photo? -- Mark Roberts Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Going to take a short trip up the California coast, 101, to see as many Redwoods as I can and also to visit Eureka and Fortuna where my Mom grew up. Taking photos naturally. So unsubscribing for a while, be back next weekend. We now return you to your regular speculation (numerous threads).
