GESO: Duathlon
Hi all, Here's another sporting event gallery. I haven't done one in a while as the events calendar tends to be very quiet over winter. But this one was being held close to where I live so I decided that I really should check it out. Nevermind the fact that I'm trying to have a rest day today. http://www.multisport.net.nz/photos/1051-2010-08-22-contact-duathlon-series-chch-photos.html This race was a duathlon which involves a run, then a bike, then a shorter run. This one was part of the Contact Duathlon Series which consists of two races (seems to be a very short series if you ask me). This race also doubled as the Oceania Duathlon Championships. I was thoroughly unprepared but the event was very well run. The only thing that caught me out was that I became slightly lost trying to find the start line for one of the races. Each age group was started separately, which is why the ordering looks all mixed up. I had trouble with AF on the bike section because I was shooting into the sun... which meant the parts I was wanting to focus on were in shadow and the camera wasn't able to keep up. Yes I'm blaming the camera, it's never my fault. The metering was also giving me grief as it was exposing for the background. I had no choice as the bike course was long enough that it really wasn't practical for me to find a better spot and with so many events on at once I had to stay close to the start / transition / finish area. I managed to find a setting in the camera which apparently links the meter to the focus point but I need to read the manual as it still seemed a bit hit and miss.

Re: Family nostalgia - Abu
Very sweet memories indeed. Pass my regards to your not-so-little-now Abu ;-). It was a trip down memory lane when my family was young and I took many pictures of them. Just checked. I've slightly more than 5,600 pics in my collection marked as Family Album. This does not include probably another 1,500 shots I made during our international trips, etc. That also does not include whatever I've been shooting on film... Gee, if good chunk of it would have been printed...

Re: PESO: Squire
Thanks Bob had another look at the shot - it was landscape (should probably have been portrait as you suggest) and alas no more than a smidgeon left at the botttom. When you say either side of the bolt - do you mean the hasp of the padlock or the sliding horizontal part? I thought it was pretty equal space on each side of the latter? Boscastle is cute - we stayed at the Riverside Hotel which I recommend - expect Boscastle was crowded being August and all?

RE: PESO: Squire
Thanks Bob had another look at the shot - it was landscape (should probably have been portrait as you suggest) and alas no more than a smidgeon left at the botttom. When you say either side of the bolt - do you mean the hasp of the padlock or the sliding horizontal part? I thought it was pretty equal space on each side of the latter? I mean the sliding horizontal part Boscastle is cute - we stayed at the Riverside Hotel which I recommend - expect Boscastle was crowded being August and all? Didn't actually go to Boscastle. I stayed with my older brother and his family about 28 miles SE of Boscastle. We did a little coast-to-coast-and-back bike ride between Devoran on the south coast and Portreath on the north, about 50 miles from Boscastle.

Close encounter with a point and shoot
I recently bought a vivitar ps digicam from radioshack. I was a 12 MP marked down from $129 to $29 so I figured what the heck. It was a horrible camera. When you took a pic, you didn't get the review image to show up without digging thru menus. Outdoors it was nearly impossible to compose with only a LCD as there was no viewfinder on it. The image quality was mediocre compared to the Pentax istDS. I took it back next day, camera wasn't worth $29. Learned a lesson, never buy amy camera without a viewfinder (REAR LCD ONLY is not good). -- J.C.

RE: Close encounter with a point and shoot
In bright daylight I would prefer an optical viewfinder rather than struggle with a LCD only viewing system. The other no-go is the lack of pic review immediately after taking the picture. Thats inexcusable. The vivitar in question here isnt a top line model at all, but I could never ever use a camera like that. Maybe there are some much better models in PS land. It also had a nasty habit of not firing instantly, I presume that was AF hunting but the camera didnt have that reflex mirror thunk to give feedback that the shot had be fired. -- J.C.

Outdoors it was nearly impossible to compose with only a LCD as there was no viewfinder on it. The image quality was mediocre compared to the Pentax istDS. I took it back next day, camera wasn't worth $29. Learned a lesson, never buy amy camera without a viewfinder (REAR LCD ONLY is not good). I would argue that a decent PS like a Canon S90 (or the coming S95) has a pretty usable rear screen, and I certainly seem to be able to produce images from it that are at least the equivalent of those produced by my old 6MP Pentax DSLR (at least at low ISO). -- 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.

Re: PESO: street lamp
I agree with Bob W. Very nice. I like the gallery too Alastair. I'd like to go to France some time. cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: Bob W p...@web-options.com To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' pdml@pdml.net Sent: Sunday, August 22, 2010 10:41 AM Subject: RE: PESO: street lamp http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9uNibZ82kkXV4kXcK21E7A?feat=dir ectlink This one is from Montpellier from the Balcony of the apartment we stayed in in the old part of town, just after dark. There's something very mediterranean about pastel-coloured walls and the yellow glow from sodium street lamps that's lovely. Having seen your shots I really want to see Montpellier now. I think I mentioned before that it is supposed to be the town in France with the best way of life, and the place most French people would like to live.

Re: Help! What is it?
The closest thing I could find was an Austin-Healey Speedwell Sprite. http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/images/0827/v333022_231716_-des.jpg The wrap-around of the back glass is considerably more dramatic on the car in your image, but I think it's a pretty close match -- at least a starting point for any detective work you might do on it. Hope you find out for certain. Best, Walt On 8/22/2010 9:51 PM, paul stenquist wrote: I'm trying to ID this car for an article. Does anyone know what it might be?

Re: Help! What is it?
Looks fiberglass. Hood looks as if it hinges forward. Knock off wires look like they came from a Healey, 'cause MG used two ear caps. I'd say home-made forms to re-body a Sprite. Or a kit from a shortly lived maker. On Aug 22, 2010, at 19:51 , paul stenquist wrote: I'm trying to ID this car for an article. Does anyone know what it might be?
