RE: OT: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of knarftheria...@gmail.com Congratulations. I've always wanted to play but have had a million excuses. back in the mid-late 80s I bought a cheap guitar in a junk shop, a copy of Juan Martin's book and taught my self to play flamenco very badly. After a year I started to have lessons from an extremely good flamenco player - who didn't think much of 'little Johnny Martin' - and stuck with him for 2 or 3 years, but I never overcame my ingrained bad habits, and I discovered that I have no talent at all, and no ability to keep time (strict compas, as it's called, is absolutely essential in flamenco). It came as something of a relief when one day my guitar snapped in mid-rasgueado. I interpreted it as a message from Aoede, and have never strummed a fandango since. My advice to would-be guitarists is to take lessons and buy a soundproof room. B Good on ya!

Re: The other side of the fence
Interesting. It's advertised to -1 EV (while the pentax is advertised to -3ev.) If those ratings are accurate a performance difference would be expected. That being said, it would be interesting to know the AF settings and what he was using for a lens. If he was using it right out of the box with the kit lens, I would think the types of dancing shots you have posted in the past would be a challenge for any camera's autofocus system. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Sat, Dec 22, 2012 at 2:07 AM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: A friend of mine recently picked up a D600, primarily for photographing dancers.

Re: OT: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
I've played guitar most of my life, with a reasonable amount of skill though I have no high aspirations; I just enjoy doing it. Other than lessons, which has already been suggested, I have found it's always good to have someone else to play with regularly. Something I've discovered recently, since I don't have the social time to get together with other players, is youtube. Look for guitar backing tracks in different keys. It's a great way to practice scales, to hear how different notes blend or don't blend, and you're sort of forced to stick with the rhythm. There are also different websites where you can find out where on the neck to find different voicings of chords, scales, and whatnot. An hour a day is good is you can manage it. I think of it as a sort of meditation. Don't try to force things. Just relax and have some fun. It's very rewarding.

Pentax? You know, I used to have a K1000. Whatever happened to them
Steve, I agree with you 100%, that it's more the photographer than the equipment. Believe me, I wanted to add that my photo composition, indoor white balance (no flash on new born's face), dark area clarity and overall rendition of the scene - baby, mother and father - was better than the Kid's with his Canon EOS T3i. Just that my humility prevented me to add these lines. But what I noticed was, the Kid was shooting in fully Auto mode - equivalent Green mode on Pentax - and still all his photos turned out crisp, clear, colorful, sharp and perfectly exposed - when I had to do some fine tuning from the initial shots. I shoot mostly in Av - 80% M - 20%, Spot Metering. May be the Canons have a better hardware and software built into their cameras, because I noticed this also on a Canon 60D in our group tour of Europe last fall. I was shooting with my Pentax K20D and a Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 + Tamron 28-75 f2.8. Regards.

PESO - Red Barn, Green Hill
Didn't have enough decent photos from last two years for the calendar I am

pictures.
I have taken a lot of shots of this over the years, but not recently.
I never get quite what I want when I go: time of day, and clouds, but
think this is not too bad. (Clouds could be a lot better, thinking of cloning
some in on lower right. Time of day, could have been a little later, but
okay.)

Re: Pentax? You know, I used to have a K1000. Whatever happened to them?
From: Bipin Gupta bip...@gmail.com Steve, I agree with you 100%, that it's more the photographer than the equipment. But what I noticed was, the Kid was shooting in fully Auto mode - equivalent Green mode on Pentax - and still all his photos turned out crisp, clear, colorful, sharp and perfectly exposed - when I had to do some fine tuning from the initial shots. I shoot mostly in Av - 80% M - 20%, Spot Metering. May be the Canons have a better hardware and software built into their cameras, because I noticed this also on a Canon 60D in our group tour of Europe last fall. I was shooting with my Pentax K20D and a Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 + Tamron 28-75 f2.8. We're you looking at his LCD or his finished product? As you know viewing at small size on an LCD hides myriads of flaws. My experience with the K20D was that I had frequent exposure problems. The K-7 fixed that. It got noisy far too fast at medium-high ISO and relative short exposure times. The K-5 fixed that. The K-5II supposedly improves on auto-focus. I'd say the K-5/ K-5II is what the K20D should have been. Certainly it's more about the photographer than the camera. But not one of us is going to forego his DSLR or digital ILC and start consistently shooting with a K1000.

Re: Pentax? You know, I used to have a K1000. Whatever happened to them
Dude, face it: yer 540 is _broken_. As in: not up to spec. Ie: your issue isn't a design fault. I'm not the only one on this list who has an AF540 or two that work 100% consistently in manual mode. My two are absolute workhorses. I have fired both of them, in manual, both at full power, constantly during a three hour shoot. Even changed the batteries once during. Both flashes were very hot to the touch when I wrapped up, but no misfires, no dropping out of the mode they were set to. That said, I won't buy another Pentax flash. If I need another hotshoe flash, I'm going to try Metz. But for value and power I'll more likely get an Alien Bees strobe and Vagabond Mini battery pack. Total cost is less than current AF-540 retail. I almost never put a flash on the camera, so that form-factor isn't necessary to me.

Re: The other side of the fence
Larry, I opine that this is quite natural. You see, when one sees the specs (K-5 can shoot at ISO 51200 and D600 if I am not mistaken can go to ISO 25600) one does not notice how dark it may be. That is, if I take my DA* 16-50/2.8 lens, and have to shoot at 1/30 sec, ISO 6400, I kind of assume that all other camera systems should work just so, but of course they don't. I would suggest to you to suggest to your friend to give his camera a second chance having the above idea in mind. Here I'd like to recollect my most recent experience. My friends from Moscow Uni where I studied, and I went to one of the local restaurants for an evening meal and a friendly chat. That photograph of a night sea shore that I recently posted is from that meeting. I was with K-5 and DA* 16-50/2.8 and one of my friends was with Canon 7D and Sigma 17-50/2.8 HSM OS. So in a sense we were on par in terms of gear. My K-5 really struggled with AF at ISO 3200, f/2.8, 1/25 sec. I tried his camera - it was fast and very sure of itself - no or just minimal hunting. In terms of noise K-5 was clearly superior, but other than that - 7D was totally no slouch. I don't think that modern D600 would have done worse than rather oldish 7D in this kind of situation. So I am thinking that your friend indeed is simply pushing his camera far too deep into the shadows, in a manner of speaking.

Didn't have enough decent photos from last two years for the calendar I am
making for friends, so I actually, {gasp!}, went out and took some
pictures.
I have taken a lot of shots of this over the years, but not recently.
I never get quite what I want when I go: time of day, and clouds, but
think this is not too bad. (Clouds could be a lot better, thinking of cloning
some in on lower right. Time of day, could have been a little later, but
okay.)
Anyway, I think you can see why I like this as a subject.

Out of time on the calendar, so this makes the cut.

Tom, I have an old shortwave bug in me as well. I find that my Antenna PBS stations (11.4 and 20.3) have news broadcast from other countries, but in English. Quite interesting to observe. It fuels the imagination, sitting in the dark with the hum and the heat given up by the tubes. Hearing foreign langauages, WWV, Voice of America, morse code, slowly turning the tuning dial hearing the alien noises it produces. I still love to tune in to shortwave. Nowadays with convenience of internet radio a little of the romance is gone. Yes you can still get shortwave with it's hit and miss nature or you can instantly stream a crystal clear broadcast every time. The new technology is great, the old was more fun.

A few days ago I ran out of black ink, and I knew the color was low as well, so off to Costco I go. The ink pkg there, one color and one BW was about 48 bucks. A ripoff, we all know! Well, now it is packaged in separate pkgs, either 3 BW or 3 Color, 102 bucks each Bull Hockey! I left and went to Walmart. There was the one of each for 43 bucks. So I picked one up, and then my eye saw an Epson printer, sorta like my HP, but no FAX, significantly more compact, a better paper path, 5 inks, and it was wireless Smart Print, so I could use my IPAD with it :-) 52 bucks. Done deal, I said, and grabbed one. any super cheap inkjet is a loss-leader designed to sell you ink later on; if you get your color output elsewhere, i'd consider finding an older laser printer; they tend to cost much less to operate (and the ink doesn't dry up when they've sat for a while) -- 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: Pentax? You know, I used to have a K1000. What ever happened to them?
I would say that the younger generation is getting used to shop online more and more. Even NYSE operations are becoming more and more electronic, and the physical presence will soon disappear from NYSE. I understand the preference of many PDMLers to play with the toys locally, but I suspect the importance of the gadgets to be present at the local store (especially if there aren't any available) maybe a bit overrated. When I bought my first Pentax (ZX-5n) back in 1997, I lived in Urbana, Illinois.

Re: OT: Ain't Technology Great!
Yes, you can choose from several paper types. I printed the Astronomy Picture of the Day from today and did one at Glossy Photo Paper and one at High Gloss Photo Paper using the Costco brand of Glossy Photo Paper. Both came out identical. The printer is the Model XP-300, btw. Walt On Sat, Dec 22, 2012 at 12:48 PM, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com wrote: Walt, Good to hear. WalMart is close by.

Done deal, I said, and grabbed one. Get home, set it up, and it was super easy and worked the first time. It prints from both IMac and IPAD without any hiccups. I am pleased. Yesterday the wife hands me and old 8x10 BW and says to scan it so I powered up the HP and went to the application folder to find the one I had always used. Thought I had it, double clicked, and it offered me a scan preview page for the Epson. Oh, what the heck, I says, I'll try it. Put the print on the platen, close the lid, click the mouse. Ten seconds later there is an icon on the desktop of the print. I open in PS and it is gorgeous. I mean perfect. Even no dust spots! I make a print, I put a copy on my FB page.

Re: Pentax? You know, I used to have a K1000. What ever happened to them?
Quoting Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org: I would say that the younger generation is getting used to shop online more and more. Even NYSE operations are becoming more and more electronic, and the physical presence will soon disappear from NYSE. I understand the preference of many PDMLers to play with the toys locally, but I suspect the importance of the gadgets to be present at the local store (especially if there aren't any available) maybe a bit overrated. Not just the younger generation. I bought the K-5 and Q both online without ever touching either beforehand. Of course, I knew what I was getting from the various experiences posted here and on other sites. I also just bought a new tripod online, although in that case I did look at a few tripods in camera stores before selecting the one I wanted. This is one case where I think it's necessary to see the products in 'real', rather than 'virtual', life.

Re: PESO - Red Barn, Green Hill
Thanks, frank! Do you know how hard it is to FIND a cliche when you're
driving around? Heh. Back when I started with film, way, way back in 2000-2001
or something, I found this place and revisit it periodically. One of these
days I'll get the clouds and time of day JUST right. Though this is not a
bad effort, I think. First time ever that horses were in the padlock.
And thanks to Dan, Dave, Shark (?), Jack, Bob, Rick and Bruce.
Jack, I actually darkened the clouds a bit for more weight at the top of
the frame to balance out the bottom. Different styles. ;-)
Rick, I probably do need to show my photos larger, this one was only 700
px wide, meant it to be at least 800 px wide. My trouble is I keep my laptop
screen resolution at 1366 x 768, probably lower than most of you do.
Easier on older eyes. Maybe I'll do a poll on screen resolution and pic size.
But 800 at least would have shown the horses better.

Didn't have enough decent photos from last two years for the calendar I am
making for friends, so I actually, {gasp!}, went out and took some
pictures.
I have taken a lot of shots of this over the years, but not recently.
I never get quite what I want when I go: time of day, and clouds, but
think this is not too bad. (Clouds could be a lot better, thinking of
cloning
some in on lower right. Time of day, could have been a little later, but
okay.)
Anyway, I think you can see why I like this as a subject.

Pentax? You know, I used to have a K1000. Whatever happened to them.
Hi PJ, yep I still have my Leica Film SLR. But Leicas are another ball game. And today when I have retired, my finances do not allow me to buy a Leica digital. Hello Bob, deep down I have a desire to own a FF DSLR. And 85% of my lenses are FF compatible. Reason why I have skipped the K-5/K-5s/K-5IIs. Recently the K-5 body sold for just around $ 700 brand new. I know I am being foolish, as the K-5 is years ahead of my aging K20D. Thanks any way for your sound and logical advice. Tom Sir, I was looking at the photos downloaded from the EOS T3i on a desk top with a 21 inch pro screen. On our European tour last fall, I saw the Canon 60D LCD images only. But please believe me this camera took awesome photos w/o flash, when I would struggle with my K20D + the built-in flash. Something to do with the internal software / processing engines on these Canons?? Larry, here is a marvelously cheap solution for an external Flash for Pentax DSLRs. I get 98% keepers on my K20D with a $ 20 Quantaray QB-6550U Flash Gun + a $ 10 QDA-P Flash Module (caution: do not buy the QDA-PAF module). This converts the unit into the old style Auto Thyristor Flash. Put your camera on Tv (Shutter Priority) mode and the ISO to 100. Move the slider on the Flash Module to the far right Green position. Set the other switch on the Module to Auto. Attach the flash gun. You will note the shutter speed is set to 180th of a second and the aperture to f 5.6 on the camera automatically by the flash. Just fire away, and every photo will be exposed beautifully at any distance from the subject. If you change the ISO to 200, the aperture will be set automatically to f 8, ISO 400 to f 8 and so on. Now here is another great advantage. Turn the flash head up to bounce from the ceiling. Put the camera to Av mode. Note: the aperture is fixed at f 5.6 by the flash gun and cannot be changed. Move the ISO to 400 and fire away to get perfectly exposed shots at any distance from the subject. Note: this same Flash is sold by many others -eg Pro Master as 5550DX. You can also use the Quantaray QTB-9550U (Pro Master 5750DX) Flash with the same module. Evil bay has all of them. Regards.

RE: OT: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
From: Darren Addy Don't know if anybody here plays or not, but I've decided to stop putting off things I've always wanted to do and decided to learn the guitar. After exercising my Google Fu, talking to a guitar-playing coworker and asking a couple of questions on the Acoustic Guitar Forum, I decided to get a Seagull S6 (original). If I bought new, I was going to go with Cedar but I tripped across a **gorgeous** 20th Anniversary edition that is Spruce and Maple with a high gloss finish (semi-gloss being the usual finish on a Seagull S6). They only made 2000 of these, apparently and I got it for a LOT less than a new one. I'm always about bang-for-the-buck. It won't be in my hot little hands for a week or two yet when I get it from a friend, but I'm looking forward to trying to learn (Old Dog, New Tricks). I've already discovered the aforementioned forum and justinguitar.com (along with his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/JustinSandercoe ) and I plan to start with his beginner's course and a book before possibly going to a local teacher for lessons. Anyway, any words of wisdom from The Collective who play would be most welcome. I've been playing since 1965. I'm not sure how many guitars I have. Too many probably. I didn't intend to have a collection, I just bought the guitars I wanted to play when I could afford them. Best advice I can give you is to find other people to play with. You'll enjoy it more and you'll stay engaged - inspired - motivated ... I have two groups I try to meet up with every week. One group is mainly acoustic, and the other is more electric oriented. There's lots lots of tutorials on YouTube. Along with the tutorials, almost every song you want is on YouTube. I use a program called Audacity to capture the audio portion save as MP3 files. Then I use Winamp set up to repeat the songs to practice along to. And just about any song you want to learn, someone has posted chords/lyrics to a site somewhere. Often the chords are incomplete or not quite right, but the offer a starting point for figuring out how to really play the songs. Bottom line, the way to get good at playing is to keep playing until you get good. -- 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: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
From: Bob W back in the mid-late 80s I bought a cheap guitar in a junk shop, a copy of Juan Martin's book and taught my self to play flamenco very badly. After a year I started to have lessons from an extremely good flamenco player - who didn't think much of 'little Johnny Martin' - and stuck with him for 2 or 3 years, but I never overcame my ingrained bad habits, and I discovered that I have no talent at all, and no ability to keep time (strict compas, as it's called, is absolutely essential in flamenco). It came as something of a relief when one day my guitar snapped in mid-rasgueado. I interpreted it as a message from Aoede, and have never strummed a fandango since. My advice to would-be guitarists is to take lessons and buy a soundproof room. You can make tolerably good music on guitar without having a lick of talent. Nor do you need talent to enjoy the playing of it. -- 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: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
I'd like to offer thanks again for all of the great advice I've been given. I don't know if I'm up to the challenge, but I'm very excited to try. I'm promising myself not to get discourages for at least 6 months. : ) Also: Bottom line, the way to get good at playing is to keep playing until you get good. MARK! I got the official word from my friend today that the guitar is mine. (Although my Colorado friend who made the purchase claims to be jealous and thinks that perhaps this guitar will never cross the state line into Nebraska. :) -- 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: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
From: C Brendemuehl I play a bit. Am not familiar with the seagull though. Mine is a Contreras. First, enjoy. And like chess, photography, etc., decide how much time you have and what level of expertise you want to attain and go from there. They're a Canadian brand owned by Godin. The Godin brands include: Art Lutherie - budget entry level guitars LaPatrie - classical guitars Seagull - solid wood entry level to mid-range guitars Simon and Patrick - mid-range steel string acoustics Godin - mid-range to top-of-the-line guitars + electric guitars I think the S6 is pretty much Seagull's entry level instrument. It's not a budget guitar, but it should be good for a beginner. It's the kind of guitar you won't need to replace as you get better. -- 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: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
From: knarftheriault Wonderful memories of you playing guitar at GFM, Doug. IIRC Tom V.V. pulled out a guitar (one year at least) and you two did a bit of picking and strumming together. If there's a better place to hear that than in a forest on a mountainside of the Blue Ridge Mountains I don't know it. Yeah, as long as you ain't makin' a canoe trip down the Cahulawassee River in Georgia. -- 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: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
I believe you are right John. The S6 is what I originally targeted for exactly what you mentioned. If I'm not mistaken, the Seagull 20th Anniversary model I purchased is a solid wood version, with a high gloss finish. One poster said that it was much more than a S6. I'm hopeful that is the case! I've also heard that the maple/spruce is brighter than the regular S6, which may or may not be a good thing. Some think it lacks on the bass end, but that it sounds good when amplified. (That's a ways down the road for me). We'll see! -- 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.

DxOMark doesn't much like the DA 40mm f2.8 XS
Apparently it's not up to their standards. But then again almost none of Pentax's lens offerings are. It seems that they have a problem with traditional designs. -- Buy a Leica to get the full “Leica Experience”, (a quick reduction of funds in the bank account). -- 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.
