Re: K3 card failure
After analyzing all the cards fairly thoroughly it appears that the card in slot 1 wasn't written to at all in that session and the card in slot 2 was written to but became corrupt through the shoot. The spare card in the grip was already previously formatted (in the same camera but earlier) and worked fine. I don't check much during a shoot, just a little chimping at the outset to ensure that I'm not clipping highlights. I have the rear screen turned off and the top screen illumination controlled by the RAW button, so I don't keep an eagle eye on the top panel, I did just expect it to work stupidly. It was dire lighting last night too, I shot the whole show at ISO8000 with the lenses open to f2.8 and barely made 1/100s for the most part, reasonable results IMO considering the lighting but as good as perfect for what was needed by the producers. So all good in the end, had me more than a little stressed though as it was a cornerstone shoot. Thanks for the feedback.

Re: K3 card failure
I had a problem with a 4GB SanDisk SDHC card in the K7. I could see the images just fine in camera (in the K110D too) but couldn't download via USB or a card reader. I eventually recovered the 93 images with a Win7 recovery routine but it took over an hour and the files were renumbered from 001 to 093. I could not reformat the card so I binned it.

New Flickr Group: Pentax DSLR Astrophotography
I thought I sent this to the list on Saturday, but apparently not. (If this is a duplicate, my apologies) I'd like to see Pentax DSLRs get more exposure (pardon the pun) as the great AP cameras that they are. A lot of people (like me) search Flickr to check out the performance of cameras and lenses and (astrophotographers check out the AP). So I've created a new group that is JUST for AP created with Pentax DSLRs (the lens or scope is irrelevant to being included). I hope that you will join if you are even INTERESTED in AP, and if you have AP images (such as are shared here) I hope you will ALSO post them to the group. I know some people hate the Flickr interface. If so, try downloading and installing a different browser and seeing how it performs. If you are using an older version of Internet Explorer, you are more likely to experience display/performance issues on many of today's web sites. This Flickr Group is not meant to supplant this forum in any way, but to provide ANOTHER avenue for interested people to find Pentax cameras and how useful they are in AP. In fact, we can cross-pollinate and promote this forum from Flickr. Please join us (well, actually, join ME as I type this... as I am the founding member.) UPDATE: After less than 48 hours the group has already attracted 42 members and 159 photos in the pool! http://www.flickr.com/groups/Pentax-DSLR-Astrophotography/ Darren Addy Kearney, Nebraska -- Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs. ~ Alfred Stieglitz -- 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.

I'd go ahead and shoot them full in the manner you need them to work just to test them out make sure it's going to work before you *NEED* them.

OT: Computer woes
Pardon my RANT! My sisters were always complaining that my mom's computer was TOO SLOW. I had previously replaced her older computer (IBM PC300PL - Pentium 3, Windoze98SE) with an IBM Netvista (Pentium 4, WindozeXP Pro) copied all her important stuff over from the older computer. Recently they decided that still wasn't good enough, so they unceremoniously stuffed it in a closet replaced it with some piece of shit the older of the two got from the IT guys where she worked. It's even slower than the Netvista partly because it's running WindozeVista and more importantly because they LOAD IT UP WITH CRAP the same way they did the other two computers. There's not enough room left on the hard-drive for the swap file. The new computers were only faster until they filled the hard-drives with junk. And if they think I'm going to work on it for them, they can GFY. They've got it set up so I can't even install the automatic updates for security patches. Mom doesn't really need a computer any more. She only wanted one so she could run AOL for email back forth with her sister. My aunt died last year and mom no longer has anyone she wants to email. But, as Arlo Guthrie says about half-way through Alice's Restaurant, That's not what I came here to talk about... When they dumped mom's computer into the closet, they didn't do anything to retrieve mom's photos of family grand-kids. And somehow they've managed to erase the photos I'd brought over to the Netvista from the PC300PL, so I have to recover the photos from both computers. Both computers have CD-ROM drives USB ports. Neither has a writable CD drive. The Win98SE computer doesn't have drivers for ANY of the USB thumb drives that I have. I searched the net for legacy drivers, but so far NO JOY! I have to figure out a way to get the photos that are still on the PC300PL without being able to use a USB thumb drive. But I have a plan! I've got a USB hard-drive dock. All I have to do is remove the hard drives and attach them to the docking station. Except that I need the MOLEX cable to power the drives, and I don't have one. Gotta' go to the computer store and get one, and it's just started sleeting. The drives from the PC300PL are nominally 20GB (I had added a second drive for storage there are photos on both drives. I don't know if it's worth buying external enclosures for them, but I probably should sooner rather than later because they're both IDE I don't know how long IDE enclosures will still be available.

Re: K3 card failure
I've always done it. I think when I first started with digital cameras I read somewhere that the relevant standards are open to different interpretations, so it's wise to maximise the chances by formatting with camera you will shoot with. I've been in IT (standards? We gottem!) long enough for that to make some kind of warped sense. The only time I ever had problems with a card was when I was shooting the procession of the Crown of Thorns in Notre Dame, Paris.

Re: K3 card failure
I had an interesting card-glitch today though nothing as costly and dramatic as yours Rob. Evenings while traveling I download from cards to my laptop, with a copy via Lightroom to an external drive. For this trip I had thought that I would NOT format the cards, but just leave the shots to accumulate; after all, my total for a couple of weeks is seldom more than 60-70 Gb, and with two cameras, four 32Gb cards I figured I would have no issue. Last night, as I approached capacity on card #1 in body #1, I changed my mind. After downloading from both bodies, I formatted the cards in slots 1 and 2 on both bodies. So today I did a bunch of shooting. Downloaded images from card #1 in body #1, but found nothing on card #1, body #2. Huh? I know I used body #2 at least some of the time! For some odd reason that has no apparent meaning for me, body #2 wrote only to card #2, bypassing the perfectly good card in slot #1. Nothing lost, but those images just not where I had expected them to be. stan On Mar 2, 2014, at 8:14 PM, Rob Studdert wrote: Thanks guys, still coming to terms with the issue.

And I couldn't convince the Disk Utility to repair it either. Can you see the card content when inserted into the K-3? What I determined was that I had failed to reformat the SD card immediately after purchase. After reformating (in-camera) that card and another of the same type that I purchased later I have not had any further problems after thousands of frames taken. After this incident I did switch the K-3 to dual (ie redundant) write mode and I always have two cards inserted. I wasn't going to take any more chances. :-( BTW, sadly I lost the content of that damaged formating card. I could see the images when the card was in the K-3 but nothing I did allowed me to extract that data, even over a USB cable. I was sorely pissed off.

Re: PESO - Primrose
Steve, I am pleased to meet another lover of those musicians (and, possibly this album). As you guessed my blog entry was not about the music (for which, I do not consider myself knowledgeable enough, to say the least). It was on the resultant effect of the design of the CD cover. Basically, the play with the typing/font selection. The cover is read practically as Missoury Sky. Without the design considerations, the title of the CD should read Beyond The Missoury Sky. Short Stories. I was commenting on the changes occurring in the meaning of words as plain text vs as design elements. In this example, they seem to mean almost the opposite; Missoury Sky vs Beyond The Missoury Sky. I believe this is already a well known, properly analyzed (and manipulated) phenomenon. The album is, by the way, has been a treat for my ears. It still is and will surely remain so... - The photo, now. i wonder if they are really comparatively so dark, or is this due to deemphasizing green in the conversion?

Perusing ALL the K-3 images on Flickr...
Since Flickr has not yet seen fit to add the K-3 to the Camera Finder page, the only way you can use Flickr to judge images is to look in the various K-3 oriented Flickr Groups. Here is a more complete way: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=pentax%20K-3m=tags That will give you all of the images that have been tagged K-3 and Pentax. People who upload images and don't bother to tag them will, of course, not have their images found in that listing - but those that did WILL. You can use that URL to search for tags of any kind (and combinations of tags). Just replace the pentax and K-3 portions of the URL above and paste it into your browser's location field and hit ENTER. (The %20 is a space character, so use it between each tag you want to use and then don't forget to end the URL with the m=tags. Yes, I know many of you hate Flickr.

Evenings while traveling I download from cards to my laptop, with a copy via Lightroom to an external drive. For this trip I had thought that I would NOT format the cards, but just leave the shots to accumulate; after all, my total for a couple of weeks is seldom more than 60-70 Gb, and with two cameras, four 32Gb cards I figured I would have no issue. Last night, as I approached capacity on card #1 in body #1, I changed my mind. After downloading from both bodies, I formatted the cards in slots 1 and 2 on both bodies. So today I did a bunch of shooting. Downloaded images from card #1 in body #1, but found nothing on card #1, body #2. Huh? I know I used body #2 at least some of the time! For some odd reason that has no apparent meaning for me, body #2 wrote only to card #2, bypassing the perfectly good card in slot #1.

And I couldn't convince the Disk Utility to repair it either. Can you see the card content when inserted into the K-3? What I determined was that I had failed to reformat the SD card immediately after purchase. After reformating (in-camera) that card and another of the same type that I purchased later I have not had any further problems after thousands of frames taken. After this incident I did switch the K-3 to dual (ie redundant) write mode and I always have two cards inserted. I wasn't going to take any more chances. :-( BTW, sadly I lost the content of that damaged formating card. I could see the images when the card was in the K-3 but nothing I did allowed me to extract that data, even over a USB cable. I was sorely pissed off.

Re: Bizarre: Ricoh booth at 2014 Wedding Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) ...
Their marketing research may have found that wedding shooters are too price sensitive and would balk at $10K but might find $6500 palatable. If so, it's a good way to help use up the existing inventory before EOL'ing that model.

Re: You can't always get what you want...
Really nice descriptions, Darren. Years ago, the Compuserve Photo Forum had a very-long-running thread called Today I Saw. This would have fit perfectly. Cheers, Rick On Feb 26, 2014, at 9:32 AM, Darren Addy wrote: Creative photo opportunities have been few and far between for me recently. Winters in Nebraska aren't exactly inspiring (most of the time). But it is amazing how many times you see great images when you are least able to capture them (Murphy's Law of Photography?) Got up this morning, predawn, to walk the dog before leaving for work and there was a gorgeous and striking conjunction of the crescent moon and venus in the southeast. Then leaving for work (1 degree F) I decided to take the interstate which parallels the flat Platte River basin and I was struck by the gorgeous fog coming off of the frozen ponds, lakes, and river creek channels. Trees and bushes were frosted white by their overnight exposure to the freezing fog. The scene got even more beautiful as the sun crept over the horizon and bathed everything in that warm morning light. Turning north off the interstate to take the final leg to work I saw, near the road, a cluster of geese sitting on the ice enshrouded in more fog. Then looking west, I saw horses bathed in the same warm light, breath comng out of their nostrils. I was cursing the fact that I had to bypass each of these photo opportunities due to the call of a timeclock, but if I was honest with myself I probably would not have even witnessed any of these scenes if I hadn't been on my way to work. My lazy butt would probably have still been under the warm covers while all of these excellent (and frozen) photo opportunities passed in my blissful, slumbering ignorance. Still, I'm glad to have captured them with the eye of a photographer. It is more than possible that my visualization of the images is better than my actual execution in capturing them photographically would have been. Everything is perfect in the theoretical. But while visual exercises are nice, it is in the actual photographic capture that we find our greatest pleasure and it gives us the opportunity to relive those moments of transient beauty each time we look at them. I probably should have been another 15 minutes late to work and captured at least ONE of them.

Pentax is in good hands...
Here is a story worth telling: I unsubscribed August/September 2013 because of email issues and this happened soon after. This was told to a handful who wandered into my 'friends' list in FB (you know who you are). So sometime in September 2013, the Pentax factory in Cebu threw a party for its 20th million assembled unit (includes PS) and I was invited. Looking at their program/poster, I saw the sponsors which included the local 'usual suspects' (hotels, airlines...) plus a company known as San-Ai, Japan. So I asked the organizers who/what is San-Ai, Japan. They replied that it was one of the subsidiaries in the Ricoh universe. They make bikinis.

By the way, I seem to have a lack of enough color memories from my earlier years to enliven the present grayness...

At my first attempt at cropping this one, I have tried to put the center of interest to lover left. It did not work. This did (for me)! Ken, I also wish that the lover buds were in focus.
