Re: PESO: Duster Pano
A nice shot. The trail gives it action, but like Brian said, it would be nice to see some motion blur on the prop. You could create the blur in PS, but you'd have to apply motion blur to each blade individually, changing the angle as you went. Radial blur might make the job easier if you first selected or masked the prop.

Jack, Daniel, David, Paul and Boris RE: PESO: Rainy Weekend
Jack: I used my Pentax K-R, DA L 55-300mm, DA L 18-55mm on the Radnor Lake captures and Pentax K-R with the SMC Pentax 1:1.4/50 + Vivitar Close-Up Lenses for the captures of the Cicadas. Daniel: Thank You... David: Thanks and I will keep the following in mind bad weather makes for good photos. Although when there is rain off and on again today and later this evening a steadier amount not sure what I will capture today. Paul: I agree with you but I noticed for the two shots I took of them together I went more toward the right of them. Will keep a lot of the comments in mind for our next trip to Radnor Lake and this time perhaps we will get up and go really early in the morning. Boris: Thanks for being honest. It was a nice day at the Lake and watching the deer interact but when we came across these two it was rather late in the day and we were for the most part in the deeper part of the woods. The light source was limiting due to the darker part of the woods as we attempted to capture them interacting. Luckily they seem rather use to us humans so are not bothered that we are using these odd machines to take their pictures. There was a bench that we sat down and watched and took pictures of these two. ___ Pictures that I have taken on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jt-johnson/ -- 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: Duster Pano
Appreciated remarks, Paul. This was strictly an experiment using Frame-Rate(2) continuous drive. Had been reading some recommendation in the June issue of Outdoor Photographer. As we all know, a high shutter speed is basic in shooting BIF. Obviously, with some subjects, appropriate movement can add to the affect. I'd been setting AF-C to focus priority and experienced a consistent intermittent frame rate with less than expected image detail. I shoot in RAW mode, but realize jpeg will allow a faster frame rate if needed. This shot was a result of my checking out the continuous drive to find if I could improve the captured image detail. I'm not happy with the detail in this image, nor any other in the series. I am, however, very impressed by the extreme detail revealed in 'normal' shooting. Do you agree with my assessment of the detail in this image, Paul? Anyone...anyone? ;) Jack --- On Sun, 5/15/11, Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: From: Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net Subject: Re: PESO: Duster Pano To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Date: Sunday, May 15, 2011, 4:27 AM A nice shot. The trail gives it action, but like Brian said, it would be nice to see some motion blur on the prop. You could create the blur in PS, but you'd have to apply motion blur to each blade individually, changing the angle as you went. Radial blur might make the job easier if you first selected or masked the prop.

Re: Back yard wildlife
We have fox in our neighborhood. I have noticed that the squirrel and rabbit populations are no longer out of control. That coyote in Paul's image is an entirely different matter. Those critters can be very dangerous to pets, children and even adults. When we were in Yellowstone, the Rangers reported that the coyote problem virtually disappears after wolves were reintroduce into the park. Now, the coyotes have been reduced in number, and are far less apparent and aggressive than before the wolves returned.

Re: 50 cent enablement
Patterson's work mostly predates ubiquitous video, his books were mostly written from the 70's through early 90's. Interesting to note that based on that video he's still shooting film. Patterson is known for almost never discussing gear and specifically never mentioning what gear he uses beyond basics like 'a macro lens' or 'a wide angle lens'. The brief bit with him out shooting shows that he's using a Minolta Maxxum 7 (which has a status LCD on the back, like a DSLR, one of many ideas Minolta pioneered in the AF era). -Adam Who currently shoots with a pair of Maxxum 7's.

Back again
The last couple of weeks have been busy and I have only sporadically tracked the PDML. My excuses include: lack of time, slow or non-existent internet connection, and, occasionally, higher priority things to attend to. This last week I did another round-trip from Michigan to KC, brought back what should be the final trailer-load of stuff from the house there. Once the house sells, everything else should make it here in one mid-size truck. Along the way I spent a couple of mornings at the Squaw Creek Wildlife Preserve harassing birds there. The week before Meg and I went to Michigan's Upper Peninsula (the U.P. as it is commonly known.) We passed through Sault Ste. Marie, including a view of a large freighter going through the locks, then on to Whitefish Point. This is migration time of year, and we saw literally hundreds of hawks, many loons, and other interesting critters. Plus we had some side trips to local sights like the Tahquamenon Falls. But now I am back home for a month or two, final papers have been read, grades have been assigned, photos have been downloaded and initial sorts edits made. I will be slowly catching up on some of the PDML discussions of the last few weeks and preparing a few GESO's for your enlightened commentary. stan -- 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.

A friend of mine is in the market for a new camera. He was looking at the Nikon 7000, but I suggested he at least take a lok at the alternatives (He's not really tied in to any system; his current camera is a fairly old EOS digital Rebel with the kit lens, and he's not that fond of it). He tried the NEX, and said it's basically unusable; if you have review turned on, the camera goes unresponsive for more than a second after taking a shot. If his report is correct, it looks like a classic case of poor design, and getting multi-tasking priorities reversed; taking the next shot shouldn't have to wait until the review image of the previous shot is ready! In fact this was the person who told me about the G3; he saw it being advertised (after he'd tried the NEX), and asked my advice. -- 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.
