Re: On the road to GFM
The Plan is to leave Raleigh some time Friday morning. If I leave early enough, I should have plenty of time to return to the house for whatever I've forgotten and still make it up there before the registration tent in the meadow closes.

Re: On the road to GFM
We live nearby (Columbus area) and go there every couple of years. But I did not know of that feature. Will have to look it up. The best summer shooting there, imo, is to walk the trail around the lowest part. (But the rangers will make you stay on the trail.) It is also a good place in winter to capture some large ice flows.

That's a great catch! I like how it is framed, and the angle. I also like the colored background and the way the grass appears OOF in the foreground and in focus around the beast. I am not 100% sure if it is the effect of JPEG, but the eye appears slightly less sharp then I'd wish it to be. If not an artifact of resizing, I would have increased the DOF for that.

Re: Need help choosing a photo from 4
Of the 4 I'd say the 4th is the best since the main subject is mostly in focus. The 3rd would be my second choice with slightly less of the main subject in focus. A drawback for me on all 4 is the busy background. It needs to be more out of focus.

Re: Trade an *istD for a Samsung NX-30 in NYC
Quoting Don Guthrie shark50...@gmail.com: And yet the K-01 takes some very lovely photos. EVF or no. I'm sure it does. It has (I think) the same sensor as the K-5. I have two problems with the K-01, the first (not surprisingly) being the lack of a viewfinder - my experience with the Q is that it can be impossible to compose accurately in strong sunlight and I'd expect the same problem with the K-01. My second problem is the decision to adopt the K mount. Apart from adding to the bulk of the camera, it means that you can't get various adapters to fit a wide range of older lenses, as you can with other mirrorless cameras. I would have preferred the designers to have followed a similar approach to the m43 designers and adopted a short lens registration distance while allowed the fitting of K-mount lenses via an AF adapter (assuming that approach would have been technically feasible).

Re: PESO Thriller
I set out to create the illusion of soft window light in the studio using just flashes and I think I pretty much got it. The catchlight even adds to the effect--I'm glad you noticed it. There's no extra processing to get that colour. I just made use of my latest enablement: an x-rite ColorChecker Passport. I snapped that under the lighting, created a custom profile, and applied that to all the shots in that same lighting. It makes a huge and very visible difference to both the accuracy of the colours and their richness too, especially reds and blues. Thanks very much, Attila!

Re: Need help choosing a photo from 4
in #4 the background is way too cluttered. As Ken suggested, out of focus would be better. In #3, it is either too much or too little. Are you trying to capture a group of flowers? Then you have too little depth of field, a bunch of out of focus flowery things hanging around the central blossom instead of a cluster of discernible blossoms. Are you shooting for the single blossom? You still have a bunch of out of focus flowery things hanging around the central blossom. This could be salvaged by cropping down to about the right central 10% of the image that shows the central detail on the central blossom. In #2 it is a focus problem again - the flower on the left is too out of focus to be in the shot but too in focus to be ignored. #1 seems to be the best compromise though the main subject is moving and/or a bit out of focus itself. But I think I would most prefer a tight crop on #3. stan On May 29, 2014, at 3:04 PM, Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org wrote: Hi All, On the recent trip to Victoria, BC, there was a nice garden on the territory of the University of Victoria.

I like how it is framed, and the angle. I also like the colored background and the way the grass appears OOF in the foreground and in focus around the beast. I am not 100% sure if it is the effect of JPEG, but the eye appears slightly less sharp then I'd wish it to be. If not an artifact of resizing, I would have increased the DOF for that.

Re: Blooming Cactus
Yep, definitely a blooming cactus! A blooming cactus with yellow buds.

GESO: On the road
On the road to Grandfather Mountain photo weekend. Spent the morning at Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. These are the better single shots. All were done in sequences for later HDR and/or focus stacking post-processing, so I may be able to pull more out of each one later once I am back home on my real computer...http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p107070726 The BW rendering (in a 4x5 format for Colin) is the only one I've worked on so far - used Photomatix and exposures at -2, 0, and +2.

Re: Trade an *istD for a Samsung NX-30 in NYC
Actually it uses the same version of the Prime image processor as the K-30 produces 12 bit per pixel data files so I expect that it actually uses the version of the sensor that is in the K-30 which was supposed to in the same family but not identical to that in the K-5. On 5/29/2014 6:14 PM, Brian Walters wrote: Quoting Don Guthrie shark50...@gmail.com: And yet the K-01 takes some very lovely photos. EVF or no. I'm sure it does. It has (I think) the same sensor as the K-5. I have two problems with the K-01, the first (not surprisingly) being the lack of a viewfinder - my experience with the Q is that it can be impossible to compose accurately in strong sunlight and I'd expect the same problem with the K-01. My second problem is the decision to adopt the K mount. Apart from adding to the bulk of the camera, it means that you can't get various adapters to fit a wide range of older lenses, as you can with other mirrorless cameras. I would have preferred the designers to have followed a similar approach to the m43 designers and adopted a short lens registration distance while allowed the fitting of K-mount lenses via an AF adapter (assuming that approach would have been technically feasible).

The whole mirrorless thing just isn't getting the traction the manus hoped for, is it? I wonder why that is. Quite a few on this list have gone down the mirrorless path and I think Ricoh/Pentax is missing out by failing to get a competitive mirrorless camera to market (competitive with the Fuji et al offerings, that is). They've shown they have the technical know-how with the K-01 and Q series. Regardless, what is the point of showing off your superior technical prowess by creating a camera for a tiny market? Especially if you are Pentax and can't afford to (a) dilute your RD and production resources, and (b) spend hard-won money for poor returns. Look what happened with the K-01. I'm fairly sure I've bought my last DSLR (K-5) and I expect to be in the market for something like the Fuji X-E2 about this time next year. If Ricoh can't oblige by then, I'll be changing systems (partly, anyway). I went for 6 years between Pentax cameras (K20D - K-3). There's no way I will attempt to predict what Pentax/Ricoh might be offering in 2020. But given my current direction, my next is likely to be a successor to the 645D, which is still an SLR afaik. Let's be honest. The K-01 was a minimal RD effort. It was basically a K30 without a Pentaprism/mirrorbos, that sold for about the same price as a K30. The biggest cost to Pentax was hiring Marc Newsom to put lipstick on the pig. If Pentax had simply copied the styling cues from a Kodak Instamatic 100 they would have had a bigger seller, with a higher profit margin. If Pentax had actually spent some RD money on fitting an EVF into it, at least as good as the one in the Fuji Pro X 1, everyone who owns a collection of Pentax lenses would have bought one as a second body, to hell with what it looked like. -- A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant, and the crazy, crazier. - H.L.Mencken -- 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.
