Pentax DSLR home-made cable release?
Ciprian, the IR Remote Control costs just US $ 2.5 (usable on Pentax + the Canikons + Sony, and the Cable Remote costs US $ 3.5 to 5 from evil bay. You just have to Google. And I am certain Romanian Customs will not charge you duty for a piddly amount. At least here in India the Post Office Customs did not charge me Duty on my K-5 Battery - $ 7 shipped + an IR Remote $ 2.50 shipped from China. My gad, I cannot understand how they can ship it for just $ 2.50 including Postage from China? If I have to ship a Remote to Romania from India, it will cost me at least $ 12 for the postage alone. Other wise I would have sent you a Remote for gratis. God Bless China. Regards. Bipin - from the far away enchanting land. PS: while in Toronto, I ordered a USB adapter for $0.84 shipped, and a 77mm Centre Pinch Cap for my Sigma 10-20 for $ 1.90 shipped, from China. -- 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.

Now I do reviews (Pentax MX-1 among them)
Hi, A friend of mine started a blog around technology some time ago. He told me that some manufacturers/distributors lend him devices to test (specially smartphones) and I told him 'if they lend you a camera, you know where I am...'. It was kind of a joke, but a couple of weeks later he was offering me a Samsung EX2F to test and write a review. So, 2 months later, I have written 3 reviews and a short photo-show report. The last one and just published is the Pentax MX-1 review and I am currently testing a Sony RX100 (it seems that I have specialized in the 'premium compact' camera segment). The review is in Spanish but there are plenty of pictures on it.

The results are quite good taking into account the sensor size but the price here (499 EUR) is a bit too high considering its feature set.

Re: Pentax K-30 home-made cable release?
Looks like finding it is going to be the problem. It's gone the way of the Dodo. I can't even find a picture of one on Google's Image Search. From: P.J. Alling What you want if you can find one at a reasonable price is a Mamyia Cable Release Adapter RC-204. It converts old style cable release movement, (it has a tapered tapped release socket. on one side and four gold plated sockets for very thin pin connectors on the other), into the connections needed to activate and release the shutter of a camera with electronic remote release. Then all you need is the camera side connector and a length of three lead wire and a method of cobbling it all together. I used solder and hot glue, in an old plastic automobile fuse box. I was able to get a pair of the afor mentioned adapters on eBay a few years ago for $10 for the pair and built a Pentax compatible adapter from telephone cable and a micro audio plug. It worked just fine until flexing the wire caused one of the leads to snap. I plan on building a second one in one piece with no cable, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I had a web page up with an /almost/ step by step description of the project but that went away with my old web site. On 5/15/2013 3:20 PM, John Sessoms wrote: Yep, that's what I'm trying to find.

I stood on a ladder and composed until I got the clouds in behind. I also added a green gel to the flash and colour-corrected that in Lightroom which caused the sky and clouds to go pinker to better match the flowers. K20D, DA* 55/1.4 @ 6.3, 1/160th, ISO 100; Lightroom, Photoshop. Hi Bruce, That's a pretty impressive shot, the colour combination between the bloom and the sky is just about perfect, I live the composition too. If I could apply the minimal of constructive criticism I would say that the only element of it that distracts me in any way is the apparent brightness of the underside of the leaves. There was obviously little option but I wonder if the shot would benefit from them being dodged a little? Thank you, Rob. I agree with your observation on the leaf underside. I think it would emphasize the bloom more to reduce the leaf brightness 1/2 a stop or so.

Oh well. :) Sure are some intriguing shots in there. Back in film days there was a photography magazine I think was called Petersen's Photographic. It's not the one you can find nowadays. It was a monthly magazine that went out of business. I thought that happened in the early 90s, but it looks like it was later. I remember when I got the final issue there was a notice telling me the rest of my subscription would be filled with issues of Shutterbug. On the very last page of every issue was a feature about How I took that photo that had a different photographer display a photo write an article about how they created it. Most of them were studio setups with diagrams of where to put the lights how many watt-seconds you had to use ... lots of commercial stuff like how to make the glass clear with black edges against a white background or how to make the glass clear with white edges against a black background. Stuff I had to do in my lighting classes later when I went to photography school. One I still remember though was a night-time refinery shot like that ... done in camera on slide film. I can't quite remember the technique, but I know it involved locking the camera down on a tripod, waiting for hours before double exposing the film. I'm pretty sure the first exposure was a basic Sunny16 (One over ISO @ f/16) taken half an hour to three quarters of an hour after sunset to get that deep, deep blue sky. Several hours later you took a long exposure for the lights. That's the part I can't remember, how to calculate how long that second exposure needs to be to get the lights right. The article gave a fairly simple formula like the second exposure is 100x the first exposure. I do know that 100x is not the right number, because I wasted a whole bunch of 4x5 Ektachrome on a couple of different occasions trying to figure it out. I know I saved that issue, but I've never been able to find it again. It's got to be in this house somewhere. It was a hell of a photo, because that issue must have been 30 years or more ago and impression it made stayed with me all this time. -- 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 - Nightshot - American Pie II
What have you got software-wise, Marnie? You don't need much to create a double-exposure -- Photoshop Elements for instance. I haven't tried it but Gimp (freeware) can probably do this. If you have two precisely registered images, ie from a tripod at two times (dusk and fully dark), you just need to pull them into two layers and set a blend mode (like Multiply) on the top one.

GESO - St. Bridget's Church Windows
It's been a while, but I finally have the latest pass at the St. Bridget's windows complete.There is still some minor color correction and a couple need additional perspective correction before I'm satisfied enough to put them in book form. But the gallery has been updated with all of the windows and descriptions. I also want to re-do the side altar shots. The color is not what I'm after. http://www.georgesphotos.net/Other/St-Bridget-candidates/23736841_V2KGQt Most of you have seen a couple of the windows the church interior shots before, but the full set of windows in finally complete enough to post here. The most time consuming part was correcting the perspective so that the windows looked like they were photographed straight on and square. Because of obstructions and the height of the windows they were photographed from below and some quite far to the left or right of the window. None of the original photos are square. My first attempt was to use the perspective crop tool in PS. That worked for a few, but after I lived with the results for a while I wasn't really happy. Too bad, that was a pretty quick correction. I finally used the Adaptive wide angle filter in PS. That's worked best so far. I'll also give the new tool in Lightroom a try, but I doubt that it will work as well as AWA. I'm not totally happy with all of the corrections yet, especially a couple of the semi-circular Apse windows. Anyway, this is what they look like so far. gs George Sinos www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.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: Boris PESO #25 - Fisherman
I like the composition and love the shimmer off the water. Two problems for me: First of all he doesn't look like a fisherman. Whatever that contraption is he's holding it doesn't look fishy to me. He looks like a warehouse guy standing near the water. Second, he's caught in some sort of silhouette netherworld. Barely any detail in his face but enough that I want to strain to see his features. That's a distraction to me. I'd prefer either enough light to provide good details or a more completely darkened silhouette. So there you go, brutal and honest. ;-) cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com Sent: May 15, 2013 5/15/13 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Boris PESO #25 - Fisherman Hi!

Re: PESO: LeeAnn W. photo shoot
On 15/5/13, Walt, discombobulated, unleashed: I finally managed to get the young lady I've been pestering for a photo shoot to get out and take photos yesterday. Here's one of my favorite shots: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/8741925218/ Here's the rest of the gallery should anyone take a notion to have a look. For some reason, Flickriver isn't showing any photos in the set, so it's a standard Flickr set. http://www.flickr.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157633486638871/ Standouts for me Walt: 1561 1686 1740 1761 1813 1893 1902 Bin everything else. These are fantastic. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Producion --www.seeingeye.tv _ -- 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 - Fire on the Water
The sun ain't gonna get much closer to the city, I don't think. In another month we hit the solstice and then it starts heading south. By winter it's way over the lake.

PDML Photo Annual and associated goings-on
So far the 2013 Annual has brought in about $150.00 from ebook sales and $275.00 from print book sales. And the hardcover edition is currently #6 on the Blurb best-seller's list http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/popular :) This all means we (well, *I*, since I fronted the donation money) are pretty close to breaking even. Another $175.00 ought to do it (I haven't done the math yet but it looks as if I may have to break out the calculator soon. That can only be good news!) I've been invited to attend a Dana-Farber program next Wednesday (Global Twinning Programs: Curing Pediatric Cancer in the Developing World?) and I'll get to meet some of the people involved in the whole thing.
