Awkward text on a variety of things can be found even in the US.
It is frequent at oriental (or some other ethnic) restaurants

I just saw the menu of this new (to me) franchise:

OT- Student Exhibition Appeal

2014-11-17 Thread Steve Cottrell
Hi Listers,

Begging hat on - my son Stefan is in his second year at London South
Bank University (BA Hons Digital Photography) and his class is having an
exhibition in early December. Last year, things like exhibitions were
paid for by the Uni, but this year (presumably in an effort to get the
students to start organising their own displays from scratch) the Uni is
funding half of the exhibition space, the students have to find the
rest! This evening half a dozen of them are bag-packing at a local
supermarket, for instance. They need to raise a couple of hundred quid -
already some parents have donated, including me.

If there are any listers out there with a spare few bucks who would like
to put it towards a good photographic cause, may I invite you to donate?
In return, you will of course be invited to come along to have a look
over wine and cheese (Thurs Dec 11th for 2 days in London) or if you are
indeed not in the UK, I will shoot some video of the exhibits and post
them for you to see the venue your donations helped procure.

Many thanks as always - and please don't give if you can't afford it! I
have been in both situations personally. Nothing worse than where I
would have loved to have given to help a good cause, but literally
didn't have two farthings to rub together. I know what it's like - your
good thoughts here are enough. For those that are able, think of it as a
group hug :-)

Donations via Paypal gratefully received by the exhibition treasurer:

Best, Cotty

Re: Any probs remaining with K-3? YES

2014-11-17 Thread Zos Xavius
The good news: My 3rd K-3 seems perfectly fine and came preloaded with
the latest firmware. The 55-300 replacement is also looking like an ok
copy.

The bad news: the grip doesn't work, which is probably why flashing
the firmware locked the 2nd camera. Going to send this 20-40 ltd in
eventually to Precision to see if they can fix the slight decentering.
I've kind of become attached to this copy for some reason. The
rendering is awesome.

So I just need to get a grip!

Re: Image Backup while on the road

2014-11-17 Thread Stan Halpin
Sorry, little wisdom to offer. 

 ... When I travel I usually take my laptop and a portable hard drive to back 
 up images as I go.  I keep one copy on the laptop, another on the portable 
 drive and I also ensure that I don't reuse any full SD cards until all images 
 are safely transferred to my home storage.

I do much the same, though I don't usually keep files on the SD cards, just 
laptop and external hard drive. On this trip I've run out of laptop space so 
now the two versions are those on the SD card and those copied through the 
laptop to the external. Like you, I would like to forget about the laptop, and 
I hope you come to a good solution to share with us.

Stan

 
 However...
 
 My wife and I are planning a trip to the north-west of Australia next autumn. 
  It's too far to drive and I wouldn't be confident of driving on many of the 
 roads in the area anyway.  So, we'll probably take a package tour with one of 
 the operators in that area.  This means that the amount of luggage will be 
 restricted and taking the laptop may not be feasible, although I'll have my 
 Samsung tablet.
 
 Looking at backup options I'm considering one of the new portable hard drives 
 that have a built-in card reader (eg. Western Digital's 1TB My Passport 
 Wireless).  At $250, it's more expensive than I'd like but perhaps it's the 
 best way.
 
 Alternatively I could take several USB sticks, but that would mean copying 
 full cards to the Samsung tablet and then copying them back out to the USBs.  
 Pretty tedious but it would probably work as long as I'm careful not to 
 mislay the little buggers.
 
 Another possibility would be to connect a portable hard drive to the Samsung 
 tablet but as far as I can make out, that's not possible, at least with an 
 unpowered drive.
 
 Are there any other alternatives that I've overlooked?

Re: Image Backup while on the road

On Nov 17, 2014, at 2:49 pm, Brian Walters wrote:

Brian,

There are dedicated photo backup devices with built-in card readers.
The advantage of these devices is that they process the files themselves, 
and some even do a verification (checksum and/or the full file).

Also, they have a rechargeable battery, so you can backup on the go,
without being plugged into the wall.

I've used an older model Hyperdrive while it was still reasonable, but
then it was outdated because of the size of the HDD that it could support.

The latest model is here:
http://www.hypershop.com/HyperDrive/UDMA-2/
I looked at it 1-2 months ago, - and unfortunately, it is not USB-3, which 
means it is relatively slow for transfer to the computer.

I suspect it is not the fastest for the transfer from the cards but
it is still very reasonable.
The price tag is not very small, but it might still be better than
less-intelligent HDDs with just a reader.
BTW, this model allows to preview the photos, and it even understands some 
RAW format files, - I am not sure if that includes Pentax's RAW, but it 
should work with DNG.


Note, that these drives are also available from other resellers, e.g. BH 
sells 
them.
If I were buying it, I'd buy just the empty shell, and buy a 2.5 HDD 
separately and insert it. I did that with my older model, and it was very 
easy.


I am not sure if the rivals's models are still alive (Wolverine, Epson, 
etc.)


HTH,

Igor

currently having won't get to see if by chance it is making more of a 
show. Hoping Saturday will be warm enough for them to be out and about.

It appears that Jimmy most likely is the father to all three. They 
won't know until a year or so as that is when they can see through DNA 
as to human fathered the joeys.

OT: a new film which may be of interest (and some background)

2014-11-17 Thread Darren Addy
Don't think this has been mentioned on the PDML before. Searched the
archives for Vreeland and found only Bob W's sig from August 2008
which was a Diana Vreeland quote Pink is the new black. As luck
would have it, this post is about Diana Vreeland's grandson, Nicholas,
who is the subject of a movie soon to be released: Monk with a
Camera
Trailer on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07LL-r-Sqzk

A little background from this 2010 PBS video story:
http://video.pbs.org/video/2246199059/

An article about his photography on the Leica Blog:
http://blog.leica-camera.com/photographers/interviews/nicholas-vreeland-capturing-photographs-to-honor-and-preserve-his-world/

When you've had enough of all of that, perhaps you will simply enjoy a
bit of Nicholas Vreeland's photography:

Hope you enjoy half as much as I did.

PESO - Kaiser Wilhelm Church, 2 views

2014-11-17 Thread Rick Womer
The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (Gedächtniskirche, to Berliners) was built 
in the 1890s, and virtually destroyed in a bombing raid in 1943. It was rebuilt 
in the early 1960s, preserving the damaged original tower as a reminder against 
war.

A close-up of the new sanctuary and tower:

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17906465

The buildings in context:

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17902225

There is a very moving exhibit on the ground floor of the tower, and the new 
sanctuary is gorgeous inside--well worth a visit.

Comments welcomed!

Rick

Re: Image Backup while on the road

When I travel I usually take my laptop and a portable hard drive to back up
images as I go.  I keep one copy on the laptop, another on the portable
drive and I also ensure that I don't reuse any full SD cards until all
images are safely transferred to my home storage.


i just import onto my iPad mini and leave the images on the cards; 2 copies 
is good enough for me, but if money were riding on the photos i'd make 
another copy …




Are there any other alternatives that I've overlooked?


i have been looking for something along this line for a couple of years; i 
do not like the dedicated hard drives with SD slots — they seem overpriced 
and inflexible; i would think someone has already programmed arduino or 
raspberry pi to copy SD card to flash drive (or SSD), but an initial search 
comes up blank; would be a fun project for the right person

Pentax 600/4 F* on KEH

2014-11-17 Thread Igor PDML-StR



I remember some people here, on PDML were discussing Pentax 600/4 F* lens.
As far as I know, - it is rather rear... Hence, I thought I'd mention that 
there is one available @KEH right now.

It's only $3.5K. ;-)
(BGN condition)

 but maybe someone is interested (or BUI of LBA) ...

Best,

Igor

Don't fret. English speakers are very tolerant. It is obvious what was
