Re: A suggestion
There is always plasma donation. Whilst pondering the thought that, today, I have spent the last 30 years of my life in the same job I had a thought. Not of suicide but a constructive one. How about making one of those self-published books (as Anne and others have done) of PDML quotes, illustrated with listers' photographs. Not portraits of listers but photographs they deem worthy of publication. Could be portraits, I suppose. Maybe shots pertaining to certain quotes. Any profits accrued to go to Doug for list hosting.

Sorry gang. I tried to do a gmail search to find my old topic but failed. So i'll ask this again, to see what the answers may be. Ignore if you feel so inclined.;-), or helpfully redirect me to my old thread.:-) I mentioned a while back, that on my PC, XP Home PSCS2, that when i look at photos taken with my D1H or D2H at the horse shows, in say Windows default browser or Vueprint, they look fine and when i open in PS, they are dark, dull and need proccessing, sometimes a lot. In the most cases, the histogram looks fine. I know that most browsers do not support CM but I'm thinking that the browsers and PS should be at least close, yes no. I find this not to be the case in my newer Dslr's, (K10D and D200)so i;'m thinking it may be camera proccessors doing this. I have PS set up as most of you seem to have. The NA press 2, Adobe RGB 1998 Dots at 20% etc. OTOH when viewing on the mac laptop, Preview as default browser and CS1, i see next to no difference.?? Perplexed here.

Re: PESO - T-Baller
Bruce, really well caught! I sort of like the red cap bill on either side and your horizontal placement of sucker guy is great. If you have a bit more frame available at the top you might give the top of his head a slightly room..or not. If anything, I'd consider cropping the far right guy some to eliminate the nose and some of the mouth. If so, I would keep the subject in the same relative position by cropping some from the left side, but he cap bill really needs to dominate that side. Very well done as is, however.

Re: PESO: My Wallpaper
Thanks, Rick. I did play the cropping game with this and found I liked the expanse and isolation it implies. Since the geese are moving to the left of the frame, I felt uncomfortable not leaving them someplace to go. It's a thing that's difficult for me to explain.

Re: OT - Almost Like a Gig - What to Charge?
Charge a per hour, plus expenses (I used to add 15-25% to the expenses as sort of a handling charge). Give them everything you shoot that is worthwhile, with non-exclusive rights (charge 300-400% higher if they want exclusive rights) which means you can still use the images yourself for non-competing purposes. This is the way commercial work is usually quoted. I would always give a firm quote if wanted, but it was actually an estimate of the above plus 50%, in case I goofed.

Re: Hunting for new standard lens
Boris, I would second Cotty's recommendation. Pick a 1.4 over the 1.2. The 1.2's have some compromises to get to f1.2. I cannot see any of those in the f1.4's. And an A50/1.4 or M50/1.4 may be available at a reduced price. As for 43mm limited vs FA50/1.4, I have carried and shot with both. For a time, I carried the FA50/1.4 in the 4 lens kit (A20/2.8, 31/1.8, 50/1.4, and 77/1.8). Recently, I have substituted the 43 limited for the 50/1.4. There are not that many low light opportunities for me and shake reduction has helped. So I am trying the extra rendering skills of the 43mm limited. Regards, Bob S.

Sigma 100-300mm f4 EX
Bruce, Looking at your baseball photo, I am impressed by the quality of the Sigma lens. I had heard rumours about flaky AF performance of this lens with Pentax DSLRs...have you had any problems? I have used the 70-200mm EX with absolutely no problems and am intrigued by this lens.

Not portraits of listers but photographs they deem worthy of publication. Could be portraits, I suppose. Maybe shots pertaining to certain quotes. Any profits accrued to go to Doug for list hosting.
