Kind of like a clear changing bag for DSLRs
If I can, I'd like to go back to burning man this year. It has some amazing photographic opportunities (Larry Harvey's megalomania notwithstanding), but the environment is hellish dusty. Changing lenses could be a real problem. One of the items in my pile o'stuff is my changing bag from my old film developing days. It seems that something like that would be great for changing lenses on DSLRs in harsh environments. Put the camera in the bag, zip it up, put your hands through the sleeves and you've got a lot less dust floating around when you change lenses. Of course, a changing bag is designed such that it is rather tough to see what you're doing.

On 28/5/10, Larry Colen, discombobulated, unleashed: Actually, I clipped the relevant sentence. It wasn't my friends that asked, it was someone who saw me showing my photos to my friends. May I suggest what I do? Keep a business card handy with a link to a website where rates may be obtained. I also have a couple of different A4 sized info sheets detailing services offered. These live in a pocket and readily erupt forth when the occasion arises. Deciding what to charge is a conundrum that surpasses time. I have based my rates on what is considered 'the going daily rate' and adjust accordingly. This makes me as cheap or as expensive as anyone else doing the same thing. But what I try to do is offer more than the competition at the same price. These extras won't be cost-sensitive to me but might appear as good bonuses to the client. For instance, when producing DVDs I can make sure there are the correct files on the DVD for it to play in a DVD player *and* a computer - not necessarily always possible for the uninitiated. For a stills photographer, this might mean not only making low-res selection pics (digital contacts) online, but maybe sending through a few sheets of printed contacts as well. People still like holding paper even in the 21st century. Or maybe you show up to the shoot just wearing a thong.

Turn on the power on dust shake and that should help with most loose dust. Unless the wind is constantly blowing dust and sand around, you'll be able to change lenses with little problem.

Re: MBOI Leica to Pentax lens adaptor on eBay
It's most likely a Pentax lens to Leica mount adapter, the other way would be unusable due to register differences (You'd be around 17mm past infinity extension).

Those optical adapters can handle a few mm of difference in register. You'd need something far more complex to adapt a lens with a ~28mm register to a mount with a 45.5mm register.

Re: PESO: Shooting Apartments
Having shot some real estate interiors in the past, I know how difficult the lighting can be - the dynamic range is huge. From that perspective, this is excellent in bringing out everything without lots of blowup. There is a loss of contrast, that is palatable, but would be nicer if you could punch it up just a bit. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, May 28, 2010, 6:41:57 AM, you wrote: JD Better, Bill.

FS Friday: PZ-1p body, great user condition, $125
This body would likely get a BGN rating on KEH, but it operates wonderfully and has signs of average use. I think this is my favorite autofocus-era Pentax body; see the specs at http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/bodies/film_Z-PZ/zpz1p.html. All caps and covers (plus strap and a battery) included; there is a slight mark on the top LCD (near top center; see photo) and the common crack on the bottom plate by the battery door (see photo) that doesn't affect operation in any way. $125, includes Priority Mail shipping with insurance in the continental U.S., additional for shipping elsewhere. http://homepage.mac.com/wilensky/eBay/PZ-1p_front.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/wilensky/eBay/PZ-1p_flash.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/wilensky/eBay/PZ-1p_top.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/wilensky/eBay/PZ-1p_open.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/wilensky/eBay/PZ-1p_bottom.jpg Joe Wilensky -- 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.

Been up on the playa many times. Just take good care to get out of the wind and dust off the camera and lens before you dismount the lens and swap the new one on.

Re: Kind of like a clear changing bag for DSLRs
Real shooters don't need no stinkin changing bag ! ;+] I just did 10 days shooting in S.E. Utah (mostly high desert like environ) with my K20D and followed the same procedure I used all my life when changing lenses on SLR bodies. It was an unusual time there as we had winds most of the time with some as high as 50 + mph. I'm as quick as I can be with the swap - keep the body pointed downward (dirt can't fall up into the body), keep caps on lenses til the last moment before attaching to the camera body and keep lens body as close as possible immediately before the swap. I also exercised the dust removal feature of the K20D several times over the 10 days. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Larry Colen l...@red4est.com Subject: Kind of like a clear changing bag for DSLRs If I can, I'd like to go back to burning man this year. It has some amazing photographic opportunities (Larry Harvey's megalomania notwithstanding), but the environment is hellish dusty. Changing lenses could be a real problem. One of the items in my pile o'stuff is my changing bag from my old film developing days. It seems that something like that would be great for changing lenses on DSLRs in harsh environments. Put the camera in the bag, zip it up, put your hands through the sleeves and you've got a lot less dust floating around when you change lenses. Of course, a changing bag is designed such that it is rather tough to see what you're doing. So, does anyone know of clear changing bags, for changing lenses in dusty environments? -- 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: Shooting Apartments
From: William Robb A month or so ago I started a project to shoot a friend's apartment. At some point this will become a GESO, but for now I'm exploring what Photoshop CS5 can do with it's built in (and much improved) HDR function. This is an HDR of 4 exposures ranging from 1 second to 30 seconds, shot with the 15mm LTD at f/11 on the K-7. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/pictures/newer_still/apt1.html Enjoy, and comments are welcomed. It's NOT overdone the way some HDR images appear to be. Good HDR seems to be very hard to produce. I think you've managed. There's a kind of muted quality to the colors that again reminds me of old hand tinted photographs. -- 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.

Wow! I hadn't looked till now because I thought HDR apartments shot, meh. But it's an oustanding image. I'm having a bit of a problem with the mirror on the left and how it can be reflecting what appears to be an image of something that must be 90 degrees to it's left. ?
