Another two days stay and return home only to return to the hospital with severe fluid retention. Finally home and feeling much better two days ago. Still have to sort out the bladder/prostrate problem with the urologist but I am feeling much better. Growing old is not for the faint of heart!!!

RE: Kinder bueno
From: Bob W A few shots from a walk on Saturday onto Kinder Scout in the Peak District of Derbyshire: http://www.web-options.com/kinder/ If the rendering looks wrong, please let me know. I'm not using the usual computer - this one has a crap screen which has to be viewed at precisely the right angle, which I can never discover. Foreground looks awfully blue in #5, like it was a whole different color temperature from the rest of the scene. It was - skylight in the shadows. I tried setting the white point off the snow using LR, but it warmed everything up to a completely unnatural look. Thanks, Bob You'd probably have to go into Photoshop and do some Tony Sweet type blending to get it so both look natural. Open it twice, with one version set for the snow the other version set for the background. Copy the snow version onto the background version as a separate layer - mask out all the background in the snow layer so the background in the background layer shows through.

Good work technically, but not so sure about how interesting they are. My feeling is lack of something interesting in the reflection pictures, but your last one is a lot better.

RE: Kinder bueno
From: Bob W A few shots from a walk on Saturday onto Kinder Scout in the Peak District of Derbyshire: http://www.web-options.com/kinder/ If the rendering looks wrong, please let me know. I'm not using the usual computer - this one has a crap screen which has to be viewed at precisely the right angle, which I can never discover. Foreground looks awfully blue in #5, like it was a whole different color temperature from the rest of the scene. It was - skylight in the shadows. I tried setting the white point off the snow using LR, but it warmed everything up to a completely unnatural look. Thanks, Bob You'd probably have to go into Photoshop and do some Tony Sweet type blending to get it so both look natural. Open it twice, with one version set for the snow the other version set for the background. Copy the snow version onto the background version as a separate layer - mask out all the background in the snow layer so the background in the background layer shows through. Easier said than done. Even easier when not done. I don't do stuff like that. It's like peeling mushrooms - life's too short.

Enablement: Awesome camera backpack
My best friend bought me this for my birthday in October: http://www.amazon.com/Tamrac-3385-Access-Laptop-Backpack/dp/B001L5U16G I've held off on posting anything about it so I could see how I like it. Turns out I love it! It's not too big, not too small, has a ton of room for camera stuff in the bottom section, is just big enough to fit my laptop in the slot and the top compartment is big enough to carry all the crap I like to keep on me plus a few giant burritos (or a big sweatshirt). Burrito capacity is important, you know. I could also fit a few of them in the lens slots, but I really don't want to risk getting guacamole on my 50 1.4. Since I'm carless now, this backpack makes my life a lot easier. It could only be better if there were a couple more small external pockets or accessory loops on the sides, but they really aren't that necessary. Overall this is a great bag.

K100 and radio trigger
I just got some radio triggers from link delight. They work like a charm on my K20D using either the shoe, or the pc cable. However, they don't work on my K100. It just doesn't trigger them. I also tried taking a nikon as15 hotshoe to pc adapter to trigger it, and it worked fine on the K20, but not with the K100. Does the K100 need to see some sort of voltage across the shoe before it'll trigger the flash, even on manual mode? I have a couple of dumb flashes lying around a vivitar 283 and vivitar 265, but I don't know if they'll fry my camera with too high of a trigger voltage, so I don't want to test with them. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

When working in the studio, it's trivial to trigger smaller strobes optically off of the studio strobes, but it would be nice to be able to trigger them via radio when i don't want to carry the white lightnings around. Are there adapters from 1/8 to a hotshoe available? Or would I be better off just getting inexpensive radio triggers like this: http://www.linkdelight.com/index.php/Slave-Triggers-Sets/Blazzeo-Wireless-Hot-Shoe-Flash-Trigger-for-Canon-430EX-580EX-et.html http://tinyurl.com/yld7hr6 because at these costs, it doesn't take many cables to add up to what they're charging. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO - Sunrise, St. Andrew's Bay
Jostein, I've come to anticipate your next post with a mix of dread and envy. They are wonderful photos, and to think you have 10,000 of them! I'll have to quit taking landscape photos.

Re: GESO - More Autumn reflections

peso very sexy
Did another fetish photoshoot last night. Most of the set was experimenting with black light and snoots on the flash, but here's one where I think the composition was worth a chuckle. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4154355186/in/set-72157622922948884/ -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO - Isolation...
That's a mighty fine photograph. Simple and complicated. The light, the composition and the isolated person. I had to scroll to see all of it in full resolution. While doing that, it struck me that cropping away the lower part, to ca 5 x 4 probably would make it even stronger. Anyway, I envy you with or without a crop ;-) -- MaritimTim http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/ 2009/12/2 Doug Brewer d...@alphoto.com: http://www.drivingtheflies.com/2009/12/02/isolation/ enjoy -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net 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 PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Well, both the artist =and= the subject have spent too much time in the sun. See my reply to Marnie above... To be fair, though, when you see these sculptures for real, the whole thing looks so right. Putting them out on a salt lake in the middle of nowhere requires a certain degree of lateral thought, but somehow it really works.

It required an extra 600 km of driving but I don't regret a single metre. Over 50 sculptures are scattered around the lake bed and, although they look like stick figures, each one was actually modelled on a resident of the small town of Menzies. Each resident stripped down to to the bare essentials and had a full body scan. Polystyrene patterns were prepared from the scans with one important modification - each person's horizontal dimensions were reduced by two thirds. The patterns were finally used in the casting of the stainless steel figures. Anyway - here's one of the sculptures. The small hill is called 'Snake Hill'. Given that the shape of the hill looks nothing like a snake, I can only assume that the name refers to to the hill's inhabitants - something I wasn't aware of before I climbed to the top http://www.blognow.com.au/PESO/184660/Sculpture_in_the_Desert.html -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

By-Pass was performed and the mending process begun. I was sent home on the 23rd only to have to return two days later with a bladder infection. Another two days stay and return home only to return to the hospital with severe fluid retention. Finally home and feeling much better two days ago. Still have to sort out the bladder/prostrate problem with the urologist but I am feeling much better. Growing old is not for the faint of heart!!! So far the good thing is that I have lost 20 pounds and hope to lose another 30 before it is over! Cheers to all. Best wishes from downunder, Walt. I guess the bright side of this is that they found the blockage early. I know a couple of people who have had by-pass surgery and it has made a world of difference to their lifestyle. Hope the recuperation is quick and you're out photographing again soon.
