Reenactors? No, although for fun they did dress me up in an US
paratroop gear so I can have fun with my facebook profile pic :-)

Have been in touch with militaria/history buffs here since I got the
chance to teach history of Philippine photography; was hoping to catch
them either in American/Japanese WW2 or Philippine/Spanish events
(have I shared these with PDML? >

goal was for my students to shoot them with the matching period
technology (i.e., glass plates/albumen for late 1800s Philippine
Revolution vs. the Spanish...) apart from the immersion into history.
But its 'off-season' for those events and the reenactors takes
advantage of that by doing something different, so the European
theater thing which kinda odd (okay...weird).

Re: Just a bit of a gearhead diary

The GXR is indeed a neat camera. I use mine most with the A12 Camera
Mount fitted to use my M-bayonet lenses, but that A12 50 Macro is a
very fine piece. There are lots and lots of subtle features.

Just don't write your custom configs to the card and then format the
card. Be sure to copy the custom configs to your computer before you
format the card...

Just a bit of a gearhead diary


I should and probably will make a blog entry on the matter.

Hi there!

Two days ago new toys arrived. First and foremost, Ricoh GXR with A12 
50mm macro module. This is outright amazing little camera with infinite 
customization and excellent ergonomics. I'd say AF is on par with K10D 
which is good enough for most practical purposes while the shutter sound 
is close to none - far quieter than any of my Pentaxes.


They have great deal of neat and useful features:
1. Snap focus - you click a button (can be programmed to do so on quick 
and full pressing of the focus button) - the camera would focus to the 
pre-defined distance and then you can take a shot.


2. Two-speed manual focus by wire - this is awesome.

3. Focus assist by focus peaking - served to you in two varieties - 
highly useful. And it works in AF mode too.


4. Ability to save your camera settings to the card for later retrieval. 
As a person who few times confused "Reset" with "Format" of my Pentax 
camera only to curse immediately as all settings had to be re-done, this 
is most useful.


Great little camera this Ricoh is. Great indeed. And in terms of 
corporate, I am staying on board, obviously :-).


Also I got myself a LR 4.1. I notice no performance degradation compared 
to LR 3.6. And I am about to get started on the Book module, should be fun.


So, life is pretty good in terms of photo gear.

Re: Pentax Q Price Cut

One more point.  The $200 price tag on the 8.5 mm viewfinder is now
completely ludicrous.  It would make the Q a much better shooting
experience for $100 (or less).  ;-)

No, I will not rush out to get the K-30 unless my back up camera dies;
my son loves to upgrade his K-r though despite my offer to upgrade his

Re: a weekend with the K30

2012-07-15 Thread Jeffery Smith

I'm sort of relieved that there isn't enough rationale to get one while already 
having a K5. I doubted that Pentax would ever come out with a dSLR with a 
sensor that is the size of a 35mm frame (I worded that just for Paul), but if 
the Q is going down, I still have a glimmer of hope.

a weekend with the K30

Got a chance to run around with the K30 this weekend, there is a
difference between reading specs and actually handling the camera.
One of my assumptions was it would be like downgrading from say the
K10D to the K200D or the K-m but I was pleasantly surprised that it
had the dual dials of the K-5; and except for the button layout at the
back (similar to the K-r) almost everything else was the K-5. There is
an improvement in focusing--less hunting and more precise.

GESO: Grace's Photo Net Page

Grace has been dabbling with cameras off and on for years. Today, I gave her my 
Panasonic P&S, and she went with me to the farmers market and the park. She 
shot a lot of keepers. The first few in the folder here are full frame. Some of 
the others are cropped, but she has good instincts for framing. She knows not 
to center heads, for example. Didn't have to tell her that. I'm very proud of 
her.

I'm not quite sure.  I was in a couple of clouds of the stuff and it
tasted kind of like chalk, but didn't seem otherwise harmful.  It
washes off with water, and isn't supposed to stain.  Didn't hurt the
K-5 at all, like being in a mild dust storm.

While I hope it's not already being dropped, I pretty much agree with
you. If it had been this price months ago I might have bought it. When
the camera & lenses start showing up on eBay for cheap, I'll probably
get it (assuming the line is actually dropped by Pentax). It'll look
good next to my Auto110 set.

Hi Everyone:

What a wonderful trip Darrel and I had this past June, and I think the 8 nicest 
people in all of the UK are, in fact, our UK PDMLers and their family members.  

As to the trip, Darrel and I flew into Heathrow and stayed in London for 2 
days, then took the boat to Greenwich to visit with Bob W.  over the weekend.  
He is a well informed and wonderfully fun tour guide, and at one point I told 
him he could probably do this for a living.  He's that good.  We tramped around 
Greenwich and Deptford and had a blast--taking pictures all the way.  Cotty and 
Alma joined us for dinner on Saturday night and as all of you can well imagine, 
Cotty's wonderful sense of humor and charm kept us all in good humor and 
laughter.  It was a great night, and I shan't ever forget it!

>From Greenwich, Darrel and I caught the train to Cambridge and tramped around 
>the colleges, did the tour of King's College Chapel, and just walked and 
>walked, and drank ale, and relaxed.

Then it was by bus to Milton Keynes to visit with Chris Mitchell and his wife 
Karin.  What a fantastic time we had visiting and seeing the sights there.  The 
Grand Juncture Canal was fantastic and the four of us visited some sites from 
the UK's National Trust program, which is just fantastic.  Very impressive.  
Darrel and I had such a blast visiting with the Mitchells.  Chris sang, and 
he's fantastic.

Then the four of us, Darrel & I and the Mitchells drove to Newcastle area to 
meet up with Bob W., Mike Wilson, his wife Cath, and their daughter Katy.  The 
area here is absolutely beautiful, and Mike Wilson planned an itinerary that 
was just fantastic. I think we'd all agree the high point was when we crossed 
the dunes and found ourselves on Holy Island.  Wow!  Wait till you see 
everyone's pictures from here, and the other sites visited.  They're really fun!

>From Newcastle we all said good-by, and Darrel & I headed back south to catch 
>a flight out of Heathrow.

We traveled for 12 days, every two days on the move.  As I've already said to 
our UK PDMLers, Darrel and I found kindness, generosity, humor, and friendship 
in abundance, and we're very grateful.  We send xxoo across the pond.

When in the Greenwich area, Bob W. took us to the Deptford St. Market.  Here's 
a little gallery from that leg of the trip.  Bob will post his gallery. His 
gallery is much better, but here's a little taste of the market--wonderfully 
multicultural!

Peso - Manhattan Minimalism II - the black and white version

2012-07-15 Thread Don Guthrie

While I like them both, I think the color version shows the open tones
on the black monolith to the left. The B&W may be more abstract if
that was your goal. It also might be a tougher call in a print.

Re: Pentax Q Price Cut

2012-07-15 Thread P. J. Alling

At this price it's what it's worth, but I expect that it also spells the 
end of the Q.  Sad if the body form factor had stayed the same but it 
had a sensor twice as large it would probably be viable as an 
alternative to the Nikon 1 series of cameras.   Sad, that it was a 
novelty.  Maybe it will become a collectors item in the future.

Yep the dpbestflow site is a great source of information. It was put
together by the ASMP with a grant from the Library of Congress. I went
to an ASMP presentation on it and came away very impressed. Keep in
mind that it's intended to cover the most stringent requirements of

PESO - Feeding kiss (an alternative to extension for macro)

2012-07-15 Thread Jostein Øksne

There was some exchange on the list about macro photography and extension a 
few days ago. Personally I prefer to use stacked lenses for magnification 
beyond 1X. Here's one I took today, using the 645D, and a 150mm lens stacked 
with a reversed 75mm. The magnification of this combo is 2X. That's about as 
much as I can cope with when working handheld.


The image is severely cropped, but the motif gives you an idea of the 
possibilities in the field with this kind of setup.


Image only: http://turl.no/kz3
In blog: http://alunfoto.blogspot.no/2012/07/feeding-kiss.html

One reason why I prefer stacking over other solutions is that exposure 
automation keeps working. So you don't have to stop down the lens manually.


Another reason is that P-TTL keeps working. Well, sort of; you have to 
diffuse the flash to avoid overexposure because of the short working 
distance, but that's okay because you really don't want specular highlights 
and sharp shadows anyway.


And if you're patient, you might actually make AF working. But you have to 
keep the camera very steady. :-)


The knack is to find to lenses that go well together. According to John Shaw 
(Book; "closeups in nature"), lenses in the normal range are best for 
reversing, and moderate tele lenses best for attaching to the camera.


Personally I recommend using a tele lens with IF because it makes working 
distance more predictable.

Re: England 2012--Deptford St. Market

Excellent gallery, Christine. Really gives a slice of life, IMO.  The 
second shot of the fish monger (shark monger?) and the bookstore owner 
are my favorites.

Hi Everyone:

What a wonderful trip Darrel and I had this past June, and I think the 8 nicest 
people in all of the UK are, in fact, our UK PDMLers and their family members.

As to the trip, Darrel and I flew into Heathrow and stayed in London for 2 
days, then took the boat to Greenwich to visit with Bob W.  over the weekend.  
He is a well informed and wonderfully fun tour guide, and at one point I told 
him he could probably do this for a living.  He's that good.  We tramped around 
Greenwich and Deptford and had a blast--taking pictures all the way.  Cotty and 
Alma joined us for dinner on Saturday night and as all of you can well imagine, 
Cotty's wonderful sense of humor and charm kept us all in good humor and 
laughter.  It was a great night, and I shan't ever forget it!

 From Greenwich, Darrel and I caught the train to Cambridge and tramped around 
the colleges, did the tour of King's College Chapel, and just walked and 
walked, and drank ale, and relaxed.

Then it was by bus to Milton Keynes to visit with Chris Mitchell and his wife 
Karin.  What a fantastic time we had visiting and seeing the sights there.  The 
Grand Juncture Canal was fantastic and the four of us visited some sites from 
the UK's National Trust program, which is just fantastic.  Very impressive.  
Darrel and I had such a blast visiting with the Mitchells.  Chris sang, and 
he's fantastic.

Then the four of us, Darrel & I and the Mitchells drove to Newcastle area to 
meet up with Bob W., Mike Wilson, his wife Cath, and their daughter Katy.  The area 
here is absolutely beautiful, and Mike Wilson planned an itinerary that was just 
fantastic. I think we'd all agree the high point was when we crossed the dunes and 
found ourselves on Holy Island.  Wow!  Wait till you see everyone's pictures from 
here, and the other sites visited.  They're really fun!

 From Newcastle we all said good-by, and Darrel & I headed back south to catch 
a flight out of Heathrow.

We traveled for 12 days, every two days on the move.  As I've already said to 
our UK PDMLers, Darrel and I found kindness, generosity, humor, and friendship 
in abundance, and we're very grateful.  We send xxoo across the pond.

When in the Greenwich area, Bob W. took us to the Deptford St. Market.  Here's 
a little gallery from that leg of the trip.  Bob will post his gallery. His 
gallery is much better, but here's a little taste of the market--wonderfully 
multicultural!

Love the geometry in this shot plus the contrast between the dark area 
to the left and the lighter building.  To my eye the B&W version works 
better - color is kind of a distraction from the main visual elements.

> True. But is the scattered backup a function of Lightroom? 


No, it's more a function of the user in my view, Paul.  I freely admit I have 
gaps in my Lightroom  knowledge and bad photo management habits.

There are other factors as well.  Within the last year, I switched from a PC 
(it crashed after heavy use for 6 years) to Mac: iPhone, iPad, and iMac, and 
I'm still learning the new hardware and software.  Then I upgraded to Lightroom 
4, then the previously mentioned external hard drive crashed, then I discovered 
that my two external drives are less identical in folder organization than I 
thought, so I'm a bit overwhelmed here with technology changes.

On top of all this, I'm at a funny stage in my life and photographically--a 
kind of transition phase.  I want to clear stuff out--get rid of the proverbial 
stuff--and this includes my photos.  In many respects, this might be a good 
time to deal with the photo management issue because I can multitask this 
problem:  get a good management and workflow going and get rid of non-keepers, 
and better organize those categories of photos I care most about, then move on.

In terms of storage, I miss the analogue days:  you had a box of negatives and 
a box of prints.  Neither was immune from damage, but in terms of management it 
was much easier.  With digital, well, everyone knows the score there.

So, don't blame Lightroom!  :-)

Saturday, there was an organized walk around on of the forest trails
of the York Region trail system, held by the Region and hosted by two
local pro photographer's and trail experts.
One group was for more beginner camera folk and one for more advanced.
A few of our camera club members were in attendance for the 2 km walk.
A number of stops were made to learn about the aspects of the forests
(this area was a replant due to deforestation 150 years ago or so) and
to practice the various light conditions a forest can give.

 That was my first thought as well but not being a Lightroom user I wasn't
 sure if there was something in the database structure that wouldn't allow

 In my Studioline image management system I did precisely that when I needed
 to create a separate backup of the database.  Is there any reason why it

Re: Peso - Manhattan Minimalism II - the black and white version

2012-07-15 Thread Ann Sanfedele

Interesting..
I darkened the black area a bit to make sure it was totally featureless
and black , actually. I couldnt see any detail in it at all, although
when I went to use the magic wand in elements apparently the program did
as it selected two sections of the black mass.

I still can't see anything but black there in the photo as it is now.
But then, I don't have the brightness of my monitor set at 100 - because
I can't look at it at all if I do and when the power was getting

browned out last week it flickered. I upped it to 100 and think i see
what you mean.

If you can see that, I guess I should put it back in elements :-)
