Makes sense, cross-country skiing needs a fair bit of exertion and they have to get their heart rate down quickly to be steady enough for the shooting. Could be - I don't really know if it's possible to compare fitness across disciplines. I'd like to try cross-country skiing sometime, although it does look like hard work. I think that's what measurements such as VO2max are all about. From what I've heard it's not a pleasant test to undertake but there are ways of approximating it without going through all the effort and expense of a lab test. I've never done any skiing or snowboarding as it looks so easy to injure yourself. I agree that cross-country skiing looks hard. Strangely when you watch professional squash they don't seem to be doing much - they make it look easy. But a couple of minutes into a game you're playing yourself you soon realise how tough it is. I think that's true of any sport. Bear in mind they have coaches, physiotherapists and dietitians looking after them. Competing at the elite levels needs a LOT of work! Which reminds me, I have to work on my diet plan. I can recommend a very good book on sports nutrition if anyone's interested.

RE: Spanish team has done it!
I've never done any skiing or snowboarding as it looks so easy to injure yourself. I agree that cross-country skiing looks hard. Skiing is quite enjoyable. I've only done it once, for a week, and didn't have any lessons. Despite encouragement from my brother, his wife and his son who all ski black runs I never got off green/blue because I was a scaredy cat. Also I have low bone density, so liable to break more easily than most. I may go again in the New Year though; if so I will have lessons so I can enjoy it more by falling over more skillfully.

The K series lenses are not particularly rare, because quite a few were made. In general, they're much better build quality than the M or A series.

Eneloops, again.
The Energizers in my wireless mouse (Mighty Mouse in Applespeak) died overnight. I looked in all the usual places in the house where new batteries might be hiding to no avail. I ran across a sealed package of Eneloops that I bought in the fall of 2008, the package that comes with a Sanyo charger, 8 AA Eneloops, 4 AAA Eneloops, and adaptors for C and D types. What the hell I exclaimed. After all the talk about their shelf life I figured I'd give them a try and popped two in the mouse. Bazinga! Not even a low battery warning from the computer. I check the gauge level in preferences, it tells me 50% power. Considering they are only 1.2V batteries vs AA ratings of 1.5V, that's excellent! I'll let you know if they crap out later in the day or week.

RE: Pentax-A SMC 28mm f/2.8 F2.8
Regarding K series wide angles, there is a trio of F3.5 that are all excellent. The k24/3.5, K28/3.5, and k35/3.5 I wouldn't call K series lenses rare, but they aint common either, most of them were only made for 3 years before discontinued by pentax for m versions which are more common due to being made for about 5-6 years before the A's came along. -- J.C.

If you are talking about downhill skiing, - I am sure that the right way to start it is by taking a group lesson on a nice resort. First, - it will dissolve the scare factor. Second, you would learn how to do it right from the beginning (as certain things are not intuitive, even if you've done cross-country skiing before), and third, - it's cheaper! At all ski resorts in the US that I've been to, the beginners package (lesson + ski rental + lift [often restricted to the beginner lifts]) is deeply discounted compared even to just cost of rental+lift icket.

Construction IX
Hi Everyone: Well, yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of the start of the construction on the parking garage and student services building at work. The construction workers are on strike right now, but they'll get that sorted soon, and work will resume. The photos are what they are, but I had so much fun shooting yesterday. It was dead quiet on the site. I had giggly conversation with Desmond, my escort, while shooting, and it was the day of the tripod. Every picture was make on a tripod--except the stairway photo. The walk around the sight was leisurely, as was the speed of my shutter, shooting a lot of 1/3 - 1/6th of a second at ISO 400 with f-stops mostly in the f 4 - f 7.1 range, and I bracketed virtually every shot, though I still had some tweaking to do in the shadow areas--a bump up here and there, and some recovery of blown highlights. Because I used a tripod, my frames were A LOT more level than my usual frames resembling a stroke victim with pronounced sagging to the right. I only shot the interior, so I was out of the sun, and a cool breeze followed us around like a good friend. My construction boots were still a must, but I was allowed to abandon my hard hat and safety vest, so I could enjoy the breeze even more.

Re: Managing image files
The way Lightroom (LR) works is that for existing files, you tell it where the files are and it scans them and adds the files to it's database. Any keyword tagging, and edits that you make to the pictures are stored in the database. You don't deal directly with the RAW files after you import them into LR. The folders aren't for backup, they contain the actual files. When you make edits, LR doesn't write anything to the source files, and no files are created until you export. You still need the source files, and if you delete them, LR won't be able to work with the picture. As for organization, you can let LR handle it, or you can organize the files yourself, or anywhere in between. When I import pictures, LR puts the files on my HDD by date and I process and tag them. After I've got them how I like them, I move them (inside LR) to different folders based on subject matter. I do this because that's how I like to do it. You don't need to buy LR right away, Adobe has a 30 trial for LR so you can see if you like it before buying. I'd recommend doing that if you aren't sure.

RE: Managing image files
[...] When you make edits, LR doesn't write anything to the source files, and no files are created until you export. You still need the source files, and if you delete them, LR won't be able to work with the picture. LR flags the files as missing, but doesn't stop you from working with the associated previews, which is an argument for generating the highest resolution of preview. This gives you the option of working offsite from your filestore, perhaps keeping the photos on an exchangeable drive and taking a laptop on location. When you reconnect the filestore LR recognises that the files are no longer missing; the work you've done on the previews is automatically associated with the original files. -- 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.

After I've got them how I like them, I move them (inside LR) to different folders based on subject matter. I do this because that's how I like to do it. Another way to get a similar effect is to tag them with standardized subject keywords and use Smart Collections to organize them by subject inside Lightroom. They stay where they were put during the import process, but you can browse them by subject this way. They can also be in multiple subject categories this way ... say you have one category which is Portrait and another which is Landscape. If you have a very nice environmental portrait of a friend which also happens to be in a wonderful Landscape setting, you can keyword the image with both and it will be browseable in both contexts in the category-based smart collections. You can't do that without duplicating files in the file system, which is why it's an advantageous way to use the LR features. Lightroom is very flexible when it comes to how you organize your work, both with regard to the file system and its internal tools. The key is to understand how those things can work and use them according to a consistent policy that suits your needs. :-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.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.

Re: Eneloops, again.
2010/7/14 Joseph McAllister pentax...@mac.com: The Energizers in my wireless mouse (Mighty Mouse in Applespeak) died overnight. I looked in all the usual places in the house where new batteries might be hiding to no avail. I ran across a sealed package of Eneloops that I bought in the fall of 2008, the package that comes with a Sanyo charger, 8 AA Eneloops, 4 AAA Eneloops, and adaptors for C and D types. What the hell I exclaimed. After all the talk about their shelf life I figured I'd give them a try and popped two in the mouse. Bazinga! Not even a low battery warning from the computer. I check the gauge level in preferences, it tells me 50% power. Considering they are only 1.2V batteries vs AA ratings of 1.5V, that's excellent! I'll let you know if they crap out later in the day or week. They won't. I've been using eneloops for two years now and never a problem except that I have too many AAs. First, I bought 10 of them which was an OK number, then I decided to get 8 AAAs but screwed up and ordered AAs which I was forced to keep. Finally I picked up four packs of the tones edition because it is nice to have them color sorted, helps to know which are charged and which aren't, so that makes another 32. 50 AAs is definitely too many even after replacing all AAs in the house with eneloops when empty.

Re: Construction IX
Christine - I have been traveling and only quickly dipping into PDML this last week. I did notice that one of the newer members gave you thanks for your opinion on something, with words to the effect of it is nice to have the opinion of a professional photographer . . . And now if you blush and try to deny it, all we need to do is refer you to this body of work. Very nice! You took advantage of opportunities for repeating frames-within-frames in several shots without letting the artsy stuff interfere with clean documentary shots like the client wanted . . . I think the whole project has been very impressive. Veering off on a wine-inspired philosophical tangent, I must say that my mind boggles a bit with the diversity of work being done by members of this group. There you are in your construction boots and hardhat tromping around a construction site while Tanya is chasing rugrats around darkened rooms with no flash. We are offered quality examples of nudes, snowflakes, flowers, industrial sites, bear, deer, even cats! Subways and streetcars and urban streets and Oxford punters and Himalayan mountain passes. Dance moves and exhaust manifolds. Barns and baseball and doors and diners. And dogs. And even the occasional wedding and horse show.
