I agree, the site is a PiTA.

Makes it a bit better. 

All in all, a nice set of photos.

I like Freezepour, but don't care for the sepia toning.

 I like Ice Spders and would love it with a bit more DoF
Liquid Antidote might be my favorite.
Warmed over News is very evocative, though I'm not sure of what.

I'd also recommend having your bookmarks stored elsewhere if you work on 
multiple computers.  I rolled my own web-based bookmarks manager a few years 
back and still use it every day.  I just keep a tab open with my bookmarks

Looks like you're right.  I remember seeing reference to a 6x17cm sensor on

Hi Everyone:  Here's a quick gallery of photos from the opening

Also, Miserere, aka Jose Luis, asked me to do a quick report for his blog 
Enticing the Light, which I've sent off to him.  Below are two paragraphs 
from the short report.  I'm also going to do a short piece for Root Beer 
Eyes, but I can't get to that just yet, but I'll post to PDML when I'm 
done. And there's an excellent article in the Jan 2011 issue of Chicago 
magazine. Here's the link:

http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2011/Vivian-Maier-Street-Photographer/

"Seventy-two photographs are displayed in two large rooms, and
each contains a museum case with Maier ephemera.  Room one offers three
walls of 12 x 12 black and white and one wall of color prints taken in 
New
York, Chicago, California, Egypt, and Canada.  The museum case in room 
one

contains four of Maier's wide brimmed hats and items from her personal
papers:  a handwritten note: "Do best job-so no redo!!-customer is very
particular" and an envelope addressed to Maier with the return address of
the still existing Central Camera on Wabash Avenue.  Maier is reported as
having her film developed there.

Room two displays all black and white photographs mostly taken
in New York, a few in Chicago, and the famous White Dress photograph made 
in

Florida circa 1957.  Also included are five self-portraits; three are
reflections in either glass or metal, and two are shadow self-portraits.
The museum case in room two includes three of Maier's cameras, most 
notably

her Rolleiflex and Exakta; samples of her own printmaking; seven rolls of
exposed Ektachrome, 15 rolls of exposed 120 Kodak Pan; and one 8mm film
canister signifying the several 8mm movies Maier is reported as having 
made

during her lifetime."

And, it is nice to known that I inspired you. Sometime you have to look 
carefully for something to show, but sometimes you discover good pictures 
that you usually would overlook.


As for bag problem I partially solved that with the DA limiteds and large 
pockets or an ordinary bag I use for work, but even that is probably too 
large for a lady :-)

Hi Everyone:  Probably not a good idea to do this after DagT's ultra 
stunning year of PAW, but I was inspired by his photographic eye, of 
course, but mainly by the discipline requisite for such a project.  As I 
mentioned when I first joined the PDML, I'm flawed:  I like geese, and my 
degree of discipline needs to be enlarged.


Of course, as you all are probably thinking right now, the decision to 
commit to PAW led to a camera bag problem.  As you know, I am a girl, and 
girls carry purses; I've never carried the kitchen-sink variety, but I am 
woman enough to feel better when my few items are neatly organized in a 
fashionable purse that's comfortably totable.  But since returning to 
photography 4 years ago, I've had nothing but a camera bag-and-purse 
problem--one that leaves me cursing the gods and glaring at cute puppies 
and small children.


And PAW presents yet another unique camera bag problem.  I needed a bag 
that could tote my purse stuff and a camera and single lens because I 
want to carry a camera with a single lens everyday.  And it has to be 
sleek and slim and some what fashionable--though I didn't have my hopes 
up for much fashion.


Well, I found the what seems to be the perfect bag, and I'm all 
giddy--the Domke F803 camera satchel.  Oh my gosh, am I happy.  Here it 
is:

I will get there by the bye, but I'm still waiting on my slides to come

might have used my Raleigh address. I have to go home and check the mail

I want to take a look at them before I decide what to submit.

It appears to have plenty of contrast on my calibrated monitor. The

Re: Peso: first BW with the ist D

My monitor is correctly calibrated. In fact, it's new -- the iMac 27 -- but 
basically the same contrast level, brightness and tonality  as my previous 
monitor. Just better detail. My prints from the R2880 match the images on my 
monitor.

Do you calibrate? Do you set contrast with a gray scale? Not picking on you, 
Jack, but I suspect you have something out of whack. Then again, it might just 
be a matter of subjective taste.

As it happened, I did get a Super Program (Super A, actually) after I
got the P50.  The Super A was, indeed, a far superior camera but I
carried both around for many years and used both equally until I
eventually went auto focus.

I always thought that the P50 was intended to be a middle of the range
camera and that Pentax were probably working on a high end "P" body when
the auto focus boom arrived to put an end to that. I've got no evidence
that that was the case, of course

There is an eBay.de auction for a vintage camera I have been wanting
for a while and it appears to be for LOCAL PICKUP ONLY.
The seller has 100% feedback. The local pickup thing means that it
will go for a fraction of what it is really worth, so I could afford
to pay the shipping too (assuming I win it). Come to think of it, I
may not be allowed to bid on it if he isn't shipping internationally.

Re: Peso: first BW with the ist D

Eric,  I've been shooting digital since  August of 2004 - although still 
shooting film with my LX.  
Between the chemicals, my back and my declining ability to adjsut to 
rapid changes of light, I no longer
work in the darkroom...  


I shoot in color, and convert to BW in Photoshop if I think it suits.

I have a Canon Digital Rebel -- and 2 years ago I got an adaptor (thanks 
to Cotty) to use my old Pentax primes on it
So I could legitimately claim Pentax equipment for the Annuals.  

I had tried a DL early on and didn't like it.   Couldn't really , still 
can't) afford to be spending money loosely on equipment.


So it is my first bw with the D and one of about 40 photos I shot this 
weekend with the D and the 24-70 sigma auto exposure

lens that Steve leant me too.

Except for about um less thaan a year in the nineties, I never had a 
Pentax with an auto focus lens.

Since I'm pretty sure that the Flex board in the K-7 is the same as that
in the 645D, (it would only make sense from a cost perspective), and the
A lenses are supposedly electronically comparable from K mount to 645
mount, Pentax could easily implement such a thing in a future higher
level K body much as Nikon has done with their higher level bodies with
their older lenses.  I'd pay a little extra for a K-3 with that
capability.  Probably even buy one before a major price drop for it.

 I expect that the zoom isn't really worth anything, and the 50/1.7 is

Well, the 50 1.7 is certainly worth $30, if it's in good nick.

I liked the P5 (P50 here).  It was my workhorse camera for quite a few
years in the 1980s/90s.  I always liked the look and feel of it. It had
its limitations (no manual setting of ISO; no TTL flash; no manual
shutter speed, so without batteries it was cactus) but, for what I was
doing with it, those things weren't important to me.  I still have it.


I have a P5 as well, and like Brian, it was my workhorse camera, from 
1987 - 2000. It died about five years ago and is now a very reliable 
bookend. Soon after I got it I was told I should have gotten its 
predecessor, the Super Program, since the P5 had fewer features

But, it served me well, took my Winder ME II and Motor  Drive A, and 
was my main camera until I bought a ZX-5N.

They claimed last run was 12/30, but I suspect 12/30, 12/31, 1/1 and 1/2.

Re: Peso: first BW with the ist D

It appears to have plenty of contrast on my calibrated monitor. The highlights 
don't bother me. They give it a bit of sparkle.

IF you save the machine to process Kodachrome, and IF you convince someone to 
produce the chemicals used in said machine, you then have a situation where all 
the KR film in the world is out of date, so you have to beg Kodak to set up a 
production line that's been closed, and probably scrapped, so they can resume 
production of a film that was discontinued for lack of sales.

Good luck!

I'd be willing to buy a brick of the film if the price isn't out of sight for 
both it and the processing. I may not shoot it, but I'd freeze it, just in case 
I feel like it.

Re: Is a P5 worth anything?

OK, this post amused me greatly.  Kind of a "mark" of short paragraphs.


Picked up a P5 in Ebay a couple of months ago for $31.  Body only, but
virtually new, it came with an ME winder which the seller described as
a "battery grip".  It's a fun camera if you don't take it too

I was planning to buy an E-3 when the E-5 came out, to take advantage
of remainder pricing, etc. But the more I looked at it, the more the
E-5 seemed worth the extra money. This is my main camera for the
foreseeable future. When I bought it, it was $600 over the price of a
new E-3. I'm very glad I went for it ... It's a superb camera.

Amongst other things, the E-5's improvements to Live View operation
and the SD second slot (instead of that useless xD slot) are alone
quite useful. The in-camera level, user focus calibration, better LCD
display, etc etc are all major plusses. The added resolution (10 to 12
Mpixel) is good but small, however the improved acutance and dynamic
range, and improved sensitivity, are excellent advantages over the
E-3.

E-3 used and new prices have plummeted since the E-5 was released. If
the E-3 is sufficient for your interests, you can get one in perfect
shape for as little as $600 on the used market.

You can just leave the aperture ring on A and change Tv and Av with
the single ring. You have to depress another button to change the
other setting (It's in the manual). I used to just use Av mode and
use the back dial to change the aperture. Again, see the manual.

actually I rather like changing it with the ap ring as long as it works.
like the good old days..
because I tend to forgot which wheels to spin .

Btw I finally figured out why the cRV batteries wouldnt go in right... I
was reading the poles

for the regular aa batteries on the diagram.

Yeah I know I need to read the manual... but the info only sticks if I
do whatever it is lots of times.

I resized to 15 x 10 inches at 300 ppi.
I was shooting at ' *** L " setting

There is still much for me to learn about the settings on the camera... one
minor annoyance is it isn't telling me the shutter
speed in the exif data. I know I was shooting really fast and almsot wide
open and at 400 ISO .
And maybe because the lens was Sigma it didn't tell me the ap in the little
window on top. I kept forgetting that i needed
to move the ap ring on the lens - which isnt so with the Canon rebel.

Re: Peso: first BW with the ist D

I have no idea what happened.  Does SmugMug automatically put the
original size in the caption?  I thought maybe you had found another
undocumented function of the *istD.  ;-)  I'm also assuming the the px
in the SM caption did mean pixels.

You can just leave the aperture ring on A and change Tv and Av with
the single ring.  You have to depress another button to change the
other setting (It's in the manual).  I used to just use Av mode and
use the back dial to change the aperture.  Again, see the manual.

Re: My last roll of Kodachrome

Other than to clear film out of a couple of camera bodies, I haven't shot 
film since late '04.
There's very little I miss about film and given that I'd have a computer 
anyway, the economics of digital are just fine with me.


The pluses of digital far outweigh those of film (if any).

Is a P5 worth anything?

2011-01-09 Thread Luiz Felipe

well, the P5 is quite an interesting camera with the drawbacks listed by Brian 
below. The 50mm in question looks like either a K or M 50mm, and the price is 
rather interesting - a clean one in BR goes somewhere between $70 and $130.

I'd rather an A/ FA 50mm myself, actually. I'm quite happy with my m50 1.7, but 
sometimes being able to work in auto aperture would be very interesting.

Well, the 50 1.7 is certainly worth $30, if it's in good nick.

I liked the P5 (P50 here).  It was my workhorse camera for quite a few
years in the 1980s/90s.  I always liked the look and feel of it. It had
its limitations (no manual setting of ISO; no TTL flash; no manual
shutter speed, so without batteries it was cactus) but, for what I was
doing with it, those things weren't important to me.  I still have it.

Cheers

Brian

Re: What to charge for a friend's wedding

2011-01-09 Thread John Celio


?> Quite a number of sound ideas and advices so far, so I might

only add: beware of Murphy. Of course, you are welcome to
keep reading the rest.


Thanks for the responses, everyone.  Just to clear a few things up:

- If I could own a K-5 (or K-7) before the wedding, I would, but I don't 
think I can afford to yet.  I am going to borrow a friend's K-7 for an event 
I'm shooting in April, so I should be able to learn my way around that body 
design easily.  Back at my old camera shop job, I had to learn new cameras 
very quickly to be able to sell them, so I'm not too worried it.


- My K10D is woefully inadequate for shooting weddings.  Horrible noise in 
low light coupled with back-focusing with nearly all my lenses, I am so 
frustrated with the damn thing I rarely take pictures at all these days.  I 
will bring it as a backup, though.


- I've shot a wedding before and did alright. I explained to the bride that 
I am not a professional, but she seems okay with that.  She doesn't want an 
album or any fancy editing, so I'm not looking to charge much.


I like the idea of finding out what low quotes she got, so I might just ask 
her about that.


Thanks again for the advice,
John

Re: help needed with pentax software and card reader


John Francis wrote:


The one big thing is that you will have to give up using Canon Zoom
Browser; that program can't handle RAW files from a Pentax camera.

Yeah I already discoverd that... it can't slide show even canon raw 
files _ I have to extract

the jpgs to slideshow it.


But not to worry.

When you plug your CF card reader into your USB slot, it shows up
as an external hard drive (probably drive E:).


E is occupied with a 500 gig hard drive :-)
however F is what comes up...


If you've got things set up so that Zoom Browser gets started
automatically to try to transfer files, don't worry; just exit
out of Zoom Browser.


No not automatic...


Go to "My Computer" (probably there's an Icon for this on the
desktop; if not, you can get there easily from the "Start" menu).
You'll see a drive there in the section "Drives with Removable
Storage" - click on that and you'll see the drive.  Your images
will be down a couple of levels of folders (probably called
DCIM and Pentax100).


I found it but it doesnt say "drives with Removable storage" anywhere...



Once you get there, you can drag-and-drop the images (JPEGs,
PEFs, etc.) to wherever you want them to be on your hard drive.
You'll then be able to open them up and look at them with any
editing program, the Pentax browser software, or whatever.

actually I selected  all then copied them into a folder I made with the 
date...

It went so fast I thought only one image was copied!

I had a ton of choices to make when the computer recognized the card 
reader...
I just had been selecting things before that didnt work.  


Thanks, John...
Now I can shoot raw!

First of all  I want to let you guys know that one of you, Steve

a PENTAX - so I can honestly take photos for PUG  now instead of
diggin gup stuff my my archives all the time and
can use full Pentax for the next PDML book.  and even maybe get onto
the Pentax online gallery, if I have the patience.
While I'm eternally grateful to my friend, I'm hitting some snags
using the equipment.

So here is my problem... the loaner is an ist d  - and I have the
software loaded for PEntax Browser and Pentax Lab...
but I don't have the cord that goes from the camera into the USB2
port... couldn't find one anywhere.  However, I
do ahve a little card reader - a Targus  that takes the cf cards the
ist d uses.

I couldnt make things go with the card reader.  the computer
recognized the hardware  it said.

So I took the card out of the D and put it in my canon rebel and
voila! I was able to read and download all the jpg files
I had shot with the D.   But then I set the camera to do RAW and
couldn't download that way.

When I attach the card reader  I hear the bell that tells me the
computer knows somethign is there but I don't know which pentax
stuff to
open to connect with it...

I've been using the Canon zoom Browser for everything .. and I'm
used to just doing it directly from the camera.

Can someone plese talk to me like I was a totaly neophite and tell
me step by step  what to do to get the images from
the card reader?   I don't know what the computer calls the card
reader..

I need to get the PEF files on and then I imagine I can open them
with Adobe Elements...  I"d like to be able to extract the jpgs too.

Ive got Windoze XP, Elements 5.0  .

Oddly, I got the card reader to respond at one point but using the
Canon software and I ahve NO idea how it happened... I
really can't remember what ive done from one minute to the next
unless ive done it at least twenty times.

T I A
now I'm going out to shoot for a bit

Well, the 50 1.7 is certainly worth $30, if it's in good nick.

I liked the P5 (P50 here).  It was my workhorse camera for quite a few
years in the 1980s/90s.  I always liked the look and feel of it. It had
its limitations (no manual setting of ISO; no TTL flash; no manual
shutter speed, so without batteries it was cactus) but, for what I was
doing with it, those things weren't important to me.  I still have it.

Cheers

Is a P5 worth anything?

Saw this ad on craigslist:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/pho/2144182087.html
$30 for P5, m50/1.7, Rikenon 35-70mm 1:3.5-4.5, and a small flash 

I expect that the zoom isn't really worth anything, and the 50/1.7 is probably 
worth the $30.

Excellent shot. An interesting juxtaposition and, of course, my favorite

Quite a few of the people I work with apparently _only_ use manual for that.

Luiz,  I am quite confident that you will not be disappointed by the 
performance of the K-r.

The first 5 of these are hand held, ISO 3200 between 1/6 and 1/13 second.  The 
next 10 are using the 540 flash bounced off the ceiling at ISO 200, and the 
last two are with the K-x at ISO 2000:

Besides, a K-r in your hands will take much better pictures than half a K-5 in 
your savings account.

The sensor is not capable of LV or video. Which is a distinct loss in
the case of Live View (which is a superb innovation as it turns your
DSLR into a miniature view camera, complete with a built-in magnifier.
Absolutely awesome when working on a tripod).

Personally I could care less about video. Ditto for in-camera
processing and its multiple variations.

Ironically I've come to feel the same way about digital as you do
about film. I still shoot some digital (Event work and the occasional
desire to shoot for myself) but I keep going back to film for my
personal shooting. 159 rolls last year and I expect to shoot more this
year.

You certainly can walk around taking pictures with a 67. During the
brief period I had mine I shot about 20 rolls handheld and 3-4 rolls
on a tripod. Got good results when shooting handheld.

I'd still recommend a Mamiya 7 or GS/GSW670 for the dedicated handheld
shooter but the 67 can do it just fine.
