Re: LR 3.0 peculiarity
Thank you for a very detailed response, Godfrey. My reply is interspersed... 1- Which metadata is correct depends upon your workflow and policy. My workflow is such that the correct metadata is always what is in the Lightroom catalog, not what is contained in the original image file, because Lightroom is the only way I *add* metadata to my files. Other applications like Photoshop can append additional metadata to original image files a) if you edit ORIGINAL files with them and b) if you've set the options to do so ... but I turn off all those options and don't edit original image files with anything but Lightroom. Since I don't edit my images anywhere else than in LR and since I also don't have more than one LR version installed on my computer at any time, it is yet unclear to me why LR decided that my MD was incorrect in a way... 2- LR 3.0 crashing ... Are you running in 64-bit or 32-bit? on Windows or Mac OS X? How much RAM is installed on your system? How large is your catalog? How much free disk space is there on the volume where you have the catalog file? and the original image files? Here is the layout... Hardware: 1. Dual core CPU (Intel 8400, if I am not mistaken) 2. 8GB RAM 3. 320 GB system disk 4. 1 TB of Linux storage (RAID-1) connected directly through a separate NIC at 1Gbit. Software: 1. Windows XP 64 bit configured so as to have no swap file whatsoever. 2. LR 3.0 Parameters: 1. Order of 270 GB free on system disk 2. Catalog is about 520 MB in size (approx 33,000 image files managed) 3. About 300 GB free on storage. So it seems from what you say that it has no reasons to run unstable... 3- And, if you are having crashing problems with LR 3.0, why haven't you installed and started working with LR 3.2 RC? I feel hesitant to install any beta/release candidate software no matter how loud they say it is good. Unless absolutely forced to do so, I'd rather stay with LR 3.0 until LR 3.2 becomes a proper release, and not just release candidate. For still photography work, USB2 and FW400 are proving to be good enough, and the improved USB2 performance makes the system much more flexible as to how to organize the hardware connections. The improved IO performance makes it almost a wash, in practical terms, as to whether I site the Lightroom catalog on the same volume as the original image files vs the startup drive.) In my case, LR catalog is on internal HDD where Windows is installed and photos are on external storage. I am open to suggestions, as usual. Boris P.S.

Odd K-x behaviour
yesterday, I brought up an image on the screen and handed the camera to someone else to view. From their puzzled look, something was wrong. Looking again at the screen, it was covered in vertical lines, of varying thickness, of pastel (at least, no vivid) colours, interspersed with dashed black lines one or two pixels thick. More worryingly, none of the buttons elicited a response, even the on/off switch. Just as I was beginning to seriously panic, the off switch worked (not immediately - it was left in the off position and finally worked after about three seconds) and everything returned to normal. No recurrence. So far. I feel the on/off switch on this particular specimen is likely to give trouble in the future, due to the feel of it compared to all the others I have fondled. Apart from that, I can think of no reason for what occured. Anyone else have an idea? -- 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: GESO: Parkville Days
From: Stan Halpin Thanks Dave, and also Bob W who made the same pick. The shot is of course something of an accident. Or maybe I should say it was the serendipitous result of an experiment. The Wild West Show wasn't very wild, the script involved deserters and ruffians on the Missouri fringes of the Southern rebellion (rather than the real West), There was a lot more of the events that spurred the legend of the Wild West in what is now considered the mid-west than most people realize. Hollywood cowboy movies have skewed people's impressions of just where the west was located. If you go by the movies, the James-Younger gang was riding around Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah border robbing banks. In real life, they committed their crimes in Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas and West Virginia. And, again in real life, the James-Younger gang was exactly what you describe, deserters and ruffians on the Missouri fringes of the Southern rebellion.

RE: Odd K-x behaviour
From: mike wilson yesterday, I brought up an image on the screen and handed the camera to someone else to view. From their puzzled look, something was wrong. Looking again at the screen, it was covered in vertical lines, of varying thickness, of pastel (at least, no vivid) colours, interspersed with dashed black lines one or two pixels thick. More worryingly, none of the buttons elicited a response, even the on/off switch. Just as I was beginning to seriously panic, the off switch worked (not immediately - it was left in the off position and finally worked after about three seconds) and everything returned to normal. No recurrence. So far. I feel the on/off switch on this particular specimen is likely to give trouble in the future, due to the feel of it compared to all the others I have fondled. Apart from that, I can think of no reason for what occured. Anyone else have an idea? The power switch may be going flaky, but I'd start by changing the batteries. -- 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: LR 3.0 peculiarity
On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 11:06 PM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com wrote: Since I don't edit my images anywhere else than in LR and since I also don't have more than one LR version installed on my computer at any time, it is yet unclear to me why LR decided that my MD was incorrect in a way... If you use only LR, than it might simply be a matter of internal bookkeeping. Fr instance, if the same photos were incorporated into two different Lightroom catalogs and one made changes, then LR might say that the metadata was changed by an external application. I've seen this on a couple of the catalogs I converted to LR3 (all 22 of mine are now updated to LR3 ... :-). I've simply told LR to overwrite any metadata in any of the in-progress images, and told it to re-import metadata from any of the finished images. No problems yet. 2- LR 3.0 crashing ... Are you running in 64-bit or 32-bit? on Windows or Mac OS X? How much RAM is installed on your system? How large is your catalog? How much free disk space is there on the volume where you have the catalog file? and the original image files? Here is the layout... Hardware: 1. Dual core CPU (Intel 8400, if I am not mistaken) 2. 8GB RAM 3. 320 GB system disk 4. 1 TB of Linux storage (RAID-1) connected directly through a separate NIC at 1Gbit. Software: 1. Windows XP 64 bit configured so as to have no swap file whatsoever. 2. LR 3.0 Parameters: 1. Order of 270 GB free on system disk 2. Catalog is about 520 MB in size (approx 33,000 image files managed) 3. About 300 GB free on storage. So it seems from what you say that it has no reasons to run unstable... 3- And, if you are having crashing problems with LR 3.0, why haven't you installed and started working with LR 3.2 RC? I feel hesitant to install any beta/release candidate software no matter how loud they say it is good. Unless absolutely forced to do so, I'd rather stay with LR 3.0 until LR 3.2 becomes a proper release, and not just release candidate. For still photography work, USB2 and FW400 are proving to be good enough, and the improved USB2 performance makes the system much more flexible as to how to organize the hardware connections. The improved IO performance makes it almost a wash, in practical terms, as to whether I site the Lightroom catalog on the same volume as the original image files vs the startup drive.) In my case, LR catalog is on internal HDD where Windows is installed and photos are on external storage. I am open to suggestions, as usual. Regards your crashing problems, your hardware looks up to snuff although I'm not sure why you'd run Win XP 64-bit rather than Win 7 64-bit. Seems to me that Win 7 is a LOT better at 64bit operations than anything out of the XP generation, but then I don't do Windows so perhaps I'm missing some subtleties there. However, when I have heard of intermittent crashing problems with Windows systems it seems to be 80% of the time connected with networked drive storage for the original image file repository. Most of the problems seem to disappear when the image file repository is connected locally. Again, I've only heard of these things second-hand as, as above, I don't do Windows: it's not my specialty. Mixing a Windows XP 64-bit system with a networked Linux storage system is something I have zero direct experience with. But you might try moving that storage volume to a local connect and see if you still have crashing problems. If you don't, that's the culprit. (My own system is all direct connection via USB2 and FW400. My 'in progress' catalog file has 78,000 images in it, is about 1.12Gbytes in size. I move too much data for even 1G ethernet to handle efficiently, that's why the direct connections.) Lightroom 2.7 was bit-for-bit identical with Lightroom 2.7 RC. When Adobe puts out an RC version for public consumption, it's typically about a 98% probability that the release will be identical. I've been running on 3.2 RC for the past week, it's very reliable and stable. I've deleted 2.7 and 2.0 from my system now. -- 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: Buy My Book! was Re: what I've been doing
I received my copy of Doug's book today. Just a few hours after I had received an email notification that it had been shipped! Either their email process is slow or their shipping is really fast. I am very pleased to be in possession of this book. A very fine collection of work. And as someone commented here, there is a coherence of style throughout; Doug's Vision is stamped on every image. We have seen many of the images before through Doug's posting of links to online versions; I am pleasantly surprised to find that the printed versions are just as compelling. I was particularly pleased to find his image of the stockyard worker, posted recently here and/or on his blog.

The Pentax Photo Gallery
I continue to be mystified by the official Pentax Photo Gallery and the process of reviewing submissions. I find that I am unable to predict what they will like and what they will promptly reject. The last three or four times I had submitted images, before this month, they took a long time to review them. Then, they would promptly reject most, and keep one or two under review for another 2 weeks before rejecting those as well. Then, I submitted 10 images two weeks ago, and they very quickly rejected one and accepted two. One of the ones the accepted was a pretty postcard that had been previously submitted and rejected. The other was this one: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTISTsubSection=1309043subSubSection=10204520language=EN While I like that image, I certainly didn't think it was the strongest I had submitted in that group, and I was shocked that it was accepted, let alone so quickly. Just as a test, I then posted that image here as a PESO, and it drew only ONE comment. I have learned here that if a PESO gets few comments, that means most of the photographers on this list considered it unworthy or worse, mundane. I now have a modest little gallery of 17 images on the Pentax Photo Gallery: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola I don't fool myself into thinking that is a measure of my skill as an artist, however, since a couple are cute little fawns that wandered into my yard and virtually forced me to take their portraits, and several others are landscapes of beautiful places that I have been lucky enough to visit on a nice day. There are only a few among the 17 that are original or artistic in any sense of those terms. In any event, one thing that bothers me is the way the size limitation is structured. The recommended image size is 600 pixels high. There is no stated limit on width, however. That means the images in portrait orientation are much smaller -- in both the thumbnail and the full size -- than images in landscape orientation or even square images. I think that it makes it more difficult to get a portrait image in the gallery and worse, it makes it harder to appreciate those in the gallery that are in portrait orientation and therefore quite reduced in size. Has anyone else noticed this? In any event, I am pleased that they took 2 out of my last 10, and that seven more are still under review. More than that, I have found the process of reviewing my images and trying to pick out the ones I think are the best candidates to be interesting and educational. It can be even more educational to see what the folks at the Pentax Gallery think of them. For example, they rejected most of my favorite diner images, including one shot taken inside of a diner that I think is one of my best images ever; but, they accepted another interior image of a diner, that I personally like but didn't think was nearly as good as the one they rejected. I spent almost an hour comparing the two the other day, and finally concluded it is just another case of different strokes for different folks.

Re: GESO: Parkville Days
Yeah, I know. The Jesse James Farm, a major local tourist attraction, is only a few miles from me. Dodge City Kansas, storied locale of exploits by Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, and others is not that far west of here. During the period when my current house was built (1830's) and for some time later, this region was on the very fringes of civilization. But I grew up on films mostly shot in the Bisbee/Tombstone/Tucson area of Arizona and I can't shake that image of what the real wild west was like. stan On Aug 26, 2010, at 10:17 AM, John Sessoms wrote: From: Stan Halpin Thanks Dave, and also Bob W who made the same pick.

Hollywood cowboy movies have skewed people's impressions of just where the west was located.

RE: Odd K-x behaviour
yesterday, I brought up an image on the screen and handed the camera to someone else to view. From their puzzled look, something was wrong. Looking again at the screen, it was covered in vertical lines, of varying thickness, of pastel (at least, no vivid) colours, interspersed with dashed black lines one or two pixels thick. More worryingly, none of the buttons elicited a response, even the on/off switch. Just as I was beginning to seriously panic, the off switch worked (not immediately - it was left in the off position and finally worked after about three seconds) and everything returned to normal. No recurrence. So far. I feel the on/off switch on this particular specimen is likely to give trouble in the future, due to the feel of it compared to all the others I have fondled. Apart from that, I can think of no reason for what occured.

Re: Cosina-Voigtlander joins micro-4/3
On the other hand, it remains to be seen whether the Nokton 25mm f/0.95 an all-manual lens or a dedicated Micro-FourThirds integrated lens with on-body aperture control and lens correction metadata included. The Summilux-D 25mm f/1.4 ASPH is not only one of the most beautiful imaging normal lenses on the format, it autofocuses AND includes chromatic aberration correction metadata (used by Panasonic Lumix G bodies for both in-camera and raw files). Also, the design of the mount and such means that real transmission values of lens openings greater than f/1.4 are likely not significant. I paid $800 (including tax and ship) for my Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ASPH and use it on E-1, L1 and G1 bodies interchangeably. It's about my favorite lens. It's large and heavy, but it always returns the goods. BTW, I'm not knocking Cosina's entry into Micro-FourThirds at all! I think it's a great thing. :-) On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 7:08 AM, Adam Maas a...@mawz.ca wrote: On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 9:56 AM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com wrote: On 8/26/2010 4:21 PM, Miserere wrote: It's made sense all along: http://www.olympus-global.com/en/news/2010b/nr100826mfourthirdse.html http://www.dpreview.com/news/1008/10082619cosinamicrofourthirds.asp They'll be releasing the Nokton 25mm f/0.95 next month as their first lens (for a little under $1,200).

Boris The price should be more like $1000 or a bit less, so not much more than the Leica 25 for a lens that's much smaller and over a stop faster and also findable (teh Leica's quite hard to buy new as Panasonic doesn't regularly ship new stock). $1200 is a conversion of the European pricing (849 Euros) but US pricing is almost never a direct conversion, it's usually closer to the Euro list in dollars. -Adam -- 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. -- 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: OT More local photogs rights controversy
The photo permits for professionals in Denali are severely restricted and not available to all that apply. There is only one two lane road, around 90 miles long, in Denali and most of the road traffic is for the park run tour busses. In some places there is absolutely no place for a vehicle to park off road. The pros that do get permits are restricted to having their vehicles off the road during specific hours. In the off season the park road is open for a short time to Alaska residents and their vehicles. Capitol Reef doesn't have the same limited road conditions as Denali.

I've run into that a few times in National Parks in the USA, though not Canada as of yet. i did not know there were any such restrictions in US national parks, but looking around i see for example in Denali there are special access permits for professional photographers -- they allow use of a private vehicle which is otherwise not permitted, so in contrast to a restriction, this seems like special access that others don't get http://www.nps.gov/dena/parkmgmt/propho2.htm in Capitol Reef NP, Utah, i see a different type of rule -- only commercial photography which may interfere with normal park visitation requires a permit http://www.nps.gov/care/planyourvisit/comfilmphoto.htm obviously this is a small sample; are there national parks where photography is restricted in less reasonable ways? the situation is different on some US Native American reservations; for example i have visited Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico; while this is a beautiful natural area, and contains also amazing historic structures, it is also still the active residence of a large number of people who also collectively own the land; so i fully understand that camera permits are required as a way to make sure Acoma has a contract with the photographer making clear rights and responsibilities in the case at hand, Ulura-Kata Tjuta National Park, seems to be a bit of a hybrid -- respect for indigenous people is clearly the objective, but the article questions whether the Australian government is the perfect steward for that respect -- 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: The Dream Cruise
Thanks Ken. In regard to the reds, highly saturated perhaps, I could tone them down, but I like reds that pop. With reflective paint and flash lighting, it doesn't take any boost to get that. The saturation level is as recorded, with just a bit of a boost on the vibrance.

a quick snap of Bob when we met up recently in Florac - we spent a couple of really nice days with Bob - it was a pleasure and hope we can repeat the idea next time we are in Europe.

Re: The Dream Cruise
I like reds that pop also - shot velvia for many years because of the saturated look. On my calibrated monitor most of the reds have a mottled/uneven/somewhat 'dirty' appearance - distracting IMO.

Re: Odd K-x behaviour
Bob W wrote: yesterday, I brought up an image on the screen and handed the camera to someone else to view. From their puzzled look, something was wrong. Looking again at the screen, it was covered in vertical lines, of varying thickness, of pastel (at least, no vivid) colours, interspersed with dashed black lines one or two pixels thick. More worryingly, none of the buttons elicited a response, even the on/off switch. Just as I was beginning to seriously panic, the off switch worked (not immediately - it was left in the off position and finally worked after about three seconds) and everything returned to normal. No recurrence. So far. I feel the on/off switch on this particular specimen is likely to give trouble in the future, due to the feel of it compared to all the others I have fondled. Apart from that, I can think of no reason for what occured. Anyone else have an idea? you were probably kidnapped by aliens and subjected to a range of unspeakable breeding experiments before your memory was wiped.
