Re: OT - Panasonic 4/3rds video camera
On 12/4/10, paul stenquist, discombobulated, unleashed: I find this a bit odd in that video is primarily 16/9 these days. 4/3rds would have been good ten years ago. So for most projects much of the sensor would go unused. Right? Anamorphic I would guess. My Sony DVCam camera has 3 sensors, each one in a 1.33:1 ratio but the camera shoots 16X9 (1.78:1) ratio anamorphic. For high def, some cameras (Sony XDCam) shoot 1440X1080 anamorphic. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- 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.

Quantitatively more unobtrusive appears to be less with 44.500 Google results for more unobtrusive and 126.000 for less obtrusive. However, I find more unobtrusive is very commonly used, even in online dictionaries. It just doesn't smack me as logical with due respect to the meaning of word plus modifier which in my perception makes it an absolute which may but need not have an opposite.

Re: Planning my trip
From: Larry Colen l...@red4est.com As I understand it, the opening is on Friday from 6PM-9PM. Is there anything planned before that? No. There's a flight that gets into midway at 4PM on Friday, or for another $55, one that gets in at 3:20. Is two hours likely to be enough time between touchdown and the show? Assuming your flight arrives on time, google shows the trip taking 1 hour and 30 minutes from Midway to Dank. You'd take the orange line from the airport to the loop, transfer to the brown line headed north, and you'd get off at Western Ave that walk over to DANKHaus, 4740 n. Western. It will take about 2 minutes to walk from the Western train stop. Would there be a place at the show where I can safely stash my bags? There is a coat room, but it does not have a personal attendent. You would stash your bags there at your own risk. I think that there is a photowalk that is nebulously planned for Saturday. Are there any other pdml activities planned? Eggelston Exhibit on Sat, time not decided yet, and probably a photowalk downtown. Bob and I are still brainstorming on dinner options for Sat night. -- 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.

The Wacky K-x tester is at it again!
I use wacky with no intention to insult those who truly are wacky. I just can't use the word I'd like to use. I'll stick with wacky and inept. So now he's got another K-x, which turns out to be the same unit he had tested previously, but thise time they gave him a 43mm Ltd to test it with because he'd indicated the kit lens was faulty. Aparently, he can't take good pictures with the 43mm Ltd. He doesn't seem to like it because 43mm on APS-C is equivalent to 64mm...which is even longer than the kit lens's 18-55mm range, thus too long to be useful. You read that correctly. That is what he said. And not only did he say it, when several people commented that this assertion was wrong and explained it to him, he stuck to his guns. In a hilarious turn of events, he told everyone they were just not getting it, and they should read up on equivalent FoVs and crop facotrs, at which point he linked to a web page explaining the matter. The web page is correct, of course, but the irony was lost on him as he continued to champion his cause that 18-55mm DA lens is not the same as an 18-55mm FA lens because the first is for APS-C sensors and the second for Full-Frame. Catch all the action here: http://briard.typepad.com/get_the_picture/2010/04/pentax-k-x-testing-round-2im-damned-if-i-do-and-im-damned-if-i-dont-you-see-the-vultures-on-the-forums-ha.html I left him a comment explaining that focusing your lens to infinity is not the best way to get tack-sharp shots of people at 20-40m. He seems to think infinity starts after 8m, so maybe I'm wrong. Can any of the Australians here get in touch with Pentax Oz and tell them not to loan anymore gear to this guy? It's making Pentax look really bad. And him too, of course--but I have no investment in his reputation.

That's a neat shot. Lots of different brightness levels but all pretty well expressed.

What's particularly interesting about this pano from a technical perspective is that it was shot with the camera in Av mode, each exposure is different. It consists of 4x1 landscape shots, again hand held using my trusty old A24/2.8 f4 @ ISO2000, exposures from top to bottom 1/20th, 1/60th, 1/50th and 1/30th. The source images are all in camera jpgs, it just goes to show how capable the pano assembly software is and that there's nothing wrong with the K-x's metering. http://users.tpg.com.au/distudio/temp/Pano-IMGX01432sm.jpg Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- 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. -- Steve Desjardins -- 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.
