Re: PESO: My First Photo
Thanks, Godfrey and Brian. :D That photo was what convinced me I could take good photos. I probably wouldn't have stuck with photography had it not been for that, since I only shot one roll of film for that first class and I had a bad habit of getting discouraged easily back then.. All the rest of my work for that class was done digitally, and was not nearly as fun or rewarding as developing film, as I learned in later classes. I bought a ZX-30 for my next photography class and only used the digital when I wanted to really mess with photos.

RE: Make mine a Bud
Yes indeed - we can get some quite nice US beers over here, and also some European beer that is foul swill. Bob That's definitely not true. There are a whole lot of American beers that are greatly preferable to much of British beer. Budweiser, though, is not one of them. Mind you, you don't have to go far in most of the UK to find a beer better than almost anything you can buy in the USA.

RE: Two of my shots are to be used for a local calendar.
If they didn't want their barn photographed, they shouldn't have put it out in the open so close to a public road. stan That reminds me of a story one of friends tells. He was a professional photographer for many years and had been commissioned to take some snaps around a castle which was built in the 11th century. He was walking around with a gaggle of American tourists, listening to the tour guide go into the history of the place, and the nobles and aristocrats who'd owned it over the centuries, and all the battles and sieges that had taken place. All the time the guide had to pause briefly while aeroplanes flew overhead every couple of minutes and drowned out his commentary. Finally it all became too much for Pammy from Badiddlyboing, Odawidaho, who turned to my friend and said Gee, you'd think with all their money and armies they'da built their castle further from the airport!

K20
Hi all, ltns I have been reading up a litte on the K20 and thought to get the pro's advice from the people who know pentax best. I was thinking of picking up a couple and wondered at the performance at high ISO as I shoot mostly in the dark (stage photos). The reviews I have read speak favourably of the model but with little info about ISO performance. Also, does the anti shake give any gains?

Re: K20
Still evaluating high ISO performance...forgot to turn noise reduction ON, but I'll use 800 typically when I was only happy at 400 before. Anti-shake works and is a blessing! You'll get 2+ stops out of it. Seeing a shot at 1/4th second look good is amazing! Regards, Bob S.

Re: K20
I've been very pleased with high ISO performance. Very nice results at 1600 with noise reduction set to weak. Quite acceptable at 3200 as well. The 6400 performance is noisy but better than no picture at all:-). Generally, I'd say it's 1 1/2 to 2 stops better than the K10D. My K20D pics at 3200 are close to what I was getting at 1000 or so with the K10D.

The reviews I have read speak favourably of the model but with little info about ISO performance. Also, does the anti shake give any gains? High ISO performance up to ISO1000 is excellent, it starts to fall off above that, with ISO3200 being about the absolute limit of usability (and you'd better like noise in the dark areas, along with some banding). You can shoot up to 6400 with this camera, and the pictures are noisy but surprisingly OK considering. Antishake helps keep the camera image steady for a couple of stops slower than with no shake reduction, but it doesn't help much if the subject is moving. Here, I posted this last month, you might be interested: The top picture is shot at ISO6400!! With a 100% detail shot below. The studio thing was a 30 second light set-up shot at iso 800, because i am a dork sometimes. Below it is a 100% detail as well. None of the images recieved any post processing, other than the default settings in camera, and default settings in ACR. No sharpening, or levels or anything. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/temp/k20/K20_page1.html The EXIF data is on the full frame shots, but the top picture is shot with the 77mm lens, 1/50th sec at f/2.5, ISO 6400.

It was fall of 2000, and I was just learning how to develop and print on my own. http://www.neovenator.com/2008/04/get-this-party-started.html (the first line of the post has nothing to do with the photo) It was the only successful 35mm photo I took that quarter, and it was taken with either a Pentax IQZoom or Olympus point-and-shoot camera. The rest of my work for that class was done with an Olympus C3030 digital camera, back when 3 megapixels was as high-res as consumers could get. Used that camera until I doubled my resolution years later with the *istD. I lost the negative some years ago, so this is a scan of a print.

Re: K20
I've been very pleased with high ISO performance. Very nice results at 1600 with noise reduction set to weak. Quite acceptable at 3200 as well. The 6400 performance is noisy but better than no picture at all:-). Generally, I'd say it's 1 1/2 to 2 stops better than the K10D. My K20D pics at 3200 are close to what I was getting at 1000 or so with the K10D. Paul - This matches my experience too.

RE: Make mine a Bud
Nice glasses . . . My father would have been about 73 (I'm 50). I was first exposed to both Chimay (spelled correctly this time) and Shiner Bock while I was working at the University of Texas at Austin. Shiner started appearing in the local supermarkets about 10 years ago and I was pleased to discover the beer seemed as good as I remembered it. The Chimay is imported in 750 ml bottles by a local specialty store, Washington St. Purveyors, who will go and get just about anything you want. I have a cold bottle of Chimay in the fridge now . . . Maybe tonight is good time to change that ;-) Bob W [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/19/08 2:41 PM You'll be needing some new glasses then... http://www.belgianbeerglasses.com/ I don't know how old you are, or what generation your Dad is from, but over here it wasn't really until the 70s that the good beer movement really starting going.
