Re: OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?
Hi Brian, I love using hiking poles even though I’m a young guy with no major health issues. I can hike fine without poles but they definitely makes it easier on really long, strenuous hikes with big elevation changes, or if I’m carrying a lot of gear; I usually don’t bother on short hikes. I once did a big hike with a friend who was out of shape and having a difficult time on the way back, so I lent him one of my poles and it helped. They do help with balance, but also takes some impact off the feet and knees, but the arms are now in on the action. It’s not about using less energy but redistributing it which I think can make things easier. There is some technique to get used to, but it’s not hard to get into a rhythm with them. I think hiking poles are worth a try. I’ve improvised a monopod on one of my hiking poles and it’s proved useful. I’ve never heard of the Manfrotto ones and I may check them out myself.

OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?
Brian, I don't have experience with hiking poles, but I am sure it will be cold, no matter which, South or North Pole you choose! North Pole is much warmer, and easier to get to (within a shorter walk) but it's harder to get to the solid ground there. And it isn't bushwalking really.. ;-) Igor Brian Walters Mon, 02 Mar 2015 22:03:38 -0800 wrote: G'day all I should add that I'm not talking about extreme bushwalking - I doubt I'd be covering more than perhaps 4 or 6 km over uneven ground in any one walk. -- 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 - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?
I have a light weight collapsable walking stick similar to those shown. I don't think it's sturdy enough to operate as a monopod with any significant weight of camera/lens combo. That light weight tripod might work if the legs could be detached plugged into walking stick handles. Otherwise you're going to end up carrying BOTH the walking sticks the tripod. I've used a rather heavy Gitzo monopod as a walking stick, and that worked reasonably well. I've thought about making a detachable headpiece to screw onto it to make it look like Gandalf's staff.

Re: OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?
Brian, I've used several, on and off, over the years to improve stability. The ones I've used are 'Tracks' and 'Leki'. I slightly prefer the Tracks due to simplicity and weight. Also the Tracks I have include a built in carry strap, to allow you to carry them over your shoulder. The Leki I have has built in springing to help cushion impact, which I don't feel is necessary. Both have a screw off knob at the top which uncovers a screw onto which you could mount a camera. Both collapse down to 33 to 35 inches. Personally, I'd stick with a known pole producer, although in my experience Manfrotto is a quality producer.

I'm not looking for them to help with stamina directly - I'm trying various exercise to help there - but, if they help with stability, that will hopefully help stamina indirectly. I am a bit concerned about them just getting in the way but as I now use a small backpack rather than a shoulder bag, that might not be an issue. I'm also planning on leaving my Pentax gear behind on my next trip (shock! horror!) because I've bought a lightweight m43 system that's a lot easier to manage. I don't expect I'd use the camera mount much if I go with the Manfrottos but it's probably nice to - just in case. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- 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-Silver Butte #2
Hi, Darren! I woke up to the fact that I failed to respond to all of your appreciated critique comments. To tell you the truth, I was surprised to see only a smattering of red blinkies on this final image. Actually there was the slimmest line on the right histogram boarder and in checking the image, I found a small number of red smatterings, all of which were in the clouds. A bit far right, a slightly larger few drops in the center area and some small speckles on the left. I found more than enough detail in the clouds to please me. I'll confirm again here that the #2 image is a thin shadow darker. You've nudged me back from trusting an old person's instinctive sense to one of actually utilizing the available technology.

My only comment would be to look at the histogram of the original file and see if the peaks run off the right side (blown-out highlights). If there is detail there, I would preserve it. It would make a very good image into a great one, IMHO. I like to have the histogram turned on in my Preview image so I can see it right when I chimp the shot. Pentax is thoughtful to also have the ability to turn on the blinkies on your LCD to show over-exposed pixels, which can be handy if you don't want to mess with the histogram.

Re: PESO - Sac Spider
Thanks, Ken. The actually photographing of the insect took only about an hour (I did 5 sets of stacks, about 500 images.) Prepping the subject and configuring / fiddling with flashes took another hour or so. After that there are long stretches of computer churning - I open all of the DNGs into Photoshop as one batch, apply the same camera raw adjustments to the whole set, and then export them as 16 bit tiffs which Zerene Stacker then stitches together. It can take a couple of hours to go from unadjusted DNG's to draft stacked images - but all but a few minutes of that is computer churn time and I usually wander away and come back to it when it is done. All tolled, I spent about and hour initiating the stacking etc and also editing / cleaning up the final image. So I'd say 3 hours total time, and that includes getting the 4 other stacks that I have not processed yet. Mark On 3/3/2015 12:02 AM, Ken Waller wrote: Spooky nice mark, but I do like spiders.

Re: OT - Anyone with experience with hiking poles?
Quoting Alex Lee alejan...@fastmail.net: Hi Brian, I love using hiking poles even though I’m a young guy with no major health issues. I can hike fine without poles but they definitely makes it easier on really long, strenuous hikes with big elevation changes, or if I’m carrying a lot of gear; I usually don’t bother on short hikes. I once did a big hike with a friend who was out of shape and having a difficult time on the way back, so I lent him one of my poles and it helped. They do help with balance, but also takes some impact off the feet and knees, but the arms are now in on the action. It’s not about using less energy but redistributing it which I think can make things easier. There is some technique to get used to, but it’s not hard to get into a rhythm with them. I think hiking poles are worth a try. I’ve improvised a monopod on one of my hiking poles and it’s proved useful. I’ve never heard of the Manfrotto ones and I may check them out myself. Thanks, Alex - good information.

I'm not looking for them to help with stamina directly - I'm trying various exercise to help there - but, if they help with stability, that will hopefully help stamina indirectly. I am a bit concerned about them just getting in the way but as I now use a small backpack rather than a shoulder bag, that might not be an issue. I'm also planning on leaving my Pentax gear behind on my next trip (shock! horror!) because I've bought a lightweight m43 system that's a lot easier to manage. I don't expect I'd use the camera mount much if I go with the Manfrottos but it's probably nice to - just in case. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- 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.
