Ann, I do want a calendar. Please let me know how you would like this to work.
My pay Pal hasn't been used in so long that I doubt if it is active.
Please let me know how much and where to send the check.
Thanks! I just remembered to contact you.

Ken -
Thanks and

good point about size I'll add that tothe smugmug listing  - it is there 
on cafepress... it is the only size they make now.

It is the standard wall calendar size, each page printed on 8 1/2 x 11" 
paper, landscape orientation, of course
so when hung for display it is 11 across and 17 " high

I know you recognized some of the locations :-)

Yup -
Order from me please
(Oh, you just did! :-) )

$19 plus $3.00 shipping -  paypal is fine just use my email addy. No 
rush on the money, but fine if it is sooner than later.
To reiterate the drill at the most basic -I'm ordering the calendars on 
NOV 15,  will getthem out as soon as I receive them
with wiggle room if cafepress screws up printing - all should have 
theircalendars no

later than mid Decemberand hopefully sooner.

One of the places I go past on my regular rides often has a big silage pile 
fermenting away close to the road, but it's not sealed very well (maybe it's 
ripe stuff waiting for use).  It stinks something nasty.  I don't know how the 
cows eat the stuff.  Probably the same way that cats will happily eat cat food.

Cows here in NZ eat grass, supplemented with other foods as needed.  The dairy 
industry makes huge amounts of money by exporting to China but it comes at an 
environmental cost, both from leaching nutrients and effluent.

While the ruminants are treated fairly well here I can't say the same for pigs 
or chickens.  It's a pain buying free-range eggs as its legal definition, if 
there even is one, is so watered-down as to be almost meaningless.  The 
suppliers love playing the "out of sight, out of mind" game.  If we knew more 
about where our food came from we might be more selective.

Cheers,
Dave

Funny there's also a distiller named E. C. Booz selling Whiskey in 
Philadelphia about the time that Whiskey  was first being bottled 
(1850-1860).  That seems as likely a reason for the product's slang name 
as any.  Now I can't find the bottle making connection online, but I 
first read in in a book in a library long before "everything" worth 
knowing was online.


I mean really, we don't go to the crapper to take a crap because 
excrement was called crap.  We go to the Crapper because it was 
popularized by a London(?), well English anyway, plumber and plumbing 
manufacturer named Thomas Crapper, who popularized the water closet, and 
for this great service to humanity, he is forever immortalized as 
excrement.

"Booze" is to Lagavulin as "Broad" is to woman.

Now I've gone and broken my own rule: Never anthropomorphize Scotch.
It HATES it when you do that.


Booze was the name of a bottle maker, and Coors got into the beer
business because they made the beer bottles. I think I detect an
unfortunate trend here.



Interesting, when I looked up the definition on google I got:

Origin

Middle English bouse, from Middle Dutch būsen ‘drink to excess.’ The 
spelling booze dates from the 18th century.



From the Oxford:

MORE
People have been boozing for a long time. The spelling booze dates 
from the 18th century, but as bouse the word entered English in the 
13th century, probably from Dutch. We have been going to the boozer, 
or pub, since the 1890s.

I didn't really use CS 4 for much of anything, just to open an occasional

Geez, I never said that Maize, (because corn is ambiguous), wasn't a 
decent food, I like Maize, but it's pretty much the worst original 
choice for a grain crop, and would never have been domesticated if the 
natives of the Americas had a better choice.


It has a lot of advantages, /today/, after a couple of centuries of 
selective breeding, and decades of scientific selective breeding, but 
it's early disadvantages outweighed those advantages.  Now It's actually 
easy to grow,(it wasn't always), and it can double as a vegetable.  The 
kernels store a lot of energy either as starch or sugar.  Yes, all 
that's true. But it also puts a lot of energy into a) (for humans at 
least), a large indigestible cob, and b) it is distinctly lacking in 
protein compared to wheat, rye, and a other old world grain crops.


That modern Maize is also used as a vegetable, (many of which are 
actually fruits, take the tomato for example), adds to it's versatility, 
but, it falls short of those in vitamins and minerals.  I never said 
that corn was bad, just that given a choice the Indians would have 
chosen something else.


Frank is right Corn is primary used in cattle feed to fatten Beef for 
market quickly, unlike him I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.


Any vet will tell you not to feed your pet a food with too much Maize 
product.  Maize is a treat,


Any individual or civilization who is forced to rely almost entirely on 
Maize as a diet staple is at a disadvantage.

That's for beef cattle, anyway.

And even if there were soy, it's hardly natural for ruminant.

Preview has an Insert Page command that macs it easy to assemble simple

as with the other CC apps, you can also "rent" Acrobat for $22 per
month, which works out well for some people with occasional projects; if
you can get the intro price, a year subscription to the whole CC package

Re: PESO: Poke

2015-10-31 Thread knarf
I'm not sure what that has to do with our discussion of corn as a predominant 
component in cattle feed. Cattle have evolved over millions of years to eat 
grass. Corn is fed to them at feedlots because its incredibly high energy 
content bulks them up quickly and cheaply for slaughter.

But the bovine digestive system isn't designed to consume that much corn. It 
leads to bloating and nearly constant low-grade infection such that 
prophylactic antibiotics are routinely added to their feed. 

I'm not saying that corn is bad, I'm saying it shouldn't be fed to cattle in 
the quantities we see nowadays.

Cool concept! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

My wife, Louise, decided that I was having too much fun, and, desiring
to join in wrote up a theme for a shoot involving a princess

and recruited a costumer, chalkboard artist, makeup/hair artist and
additional walk-ons.

We call it Warrior Princess.

There will be many shots from this ambitious effort, but here's the
key part, the princess. In real life she is Kaeli Taylor, Louise'
landscaping assistant (and not a model). Here she is wearing a custom
dress created by the costumer, Eva Mocek.

RE: Haven't been paying attention: Anybody own a K-3 II?

For some reason, this ended up in my Spam folder which having cleared out
(and found others that were clearly not Spam) I now answer, somewhat late to
the party.

I sold a fair bit of stuff to fund the purchase of a K3 II. I wanted a
modern additional body. I would be wary of calling it an upgrade from a K3
as the two models are close enough, yet different enough to appeal to two
different buyers. The lack of a built in flash may be enough for some to
choose a K3 over the K3 II; I personally welcome the removal of the flash
and the integration of other technology - others may not. Dual card slots in
both models is also a big win for me, along with the 24mp sensors, which
whilst I like to crop *before* I press the shutter, I know that cropping in
Lightroom will still leave me a large image.

The improved SR was a deciding factor. I have only used it once with a long
focal length mirror lens (SR really shows up in use here) and I can only say
at this time it is as good as the K3. That alone is impressive, but I'll
find out in the coming months with the shorter days and longer shutter
times, as I use flash as a last resort. 

My intention has and still remains to team this up mostly with the 55-300mm
WR lens. I regularly take pictures of horse jump practice lessons in an
indoor school - some 20M x 80M in size - and I can only set up at one end so
most of the time the action is 50M+ away from me. One side of the building
is open, and the sessions are generally in the morning which produces very
harsh light on one side and dark shadow along the far wall. Even with a
sturdy tripod and pushing the ISO, I rely strongly on the SR to help me out
and get acceptable images. I greatly appreciate that the SR is built into
the body by Pentax.

I've not tried out the pixel shift yet, but I have one or two landscape
shoots in mind which will provide me with opportunity to try it out, as the
camera will be tripod mounted. I've also taken pictures over the years from
around the same spots with the *ist D, the K7 and the K3 (and film of
course) and so I look forward to seeing the changes.

I can't easily see where Pentax progresses with this range from here. 24mp
is really useful, but I can't really see the point of enlarging the numbers
without increasing the size of the sensor, so one for the new FF camera. The
only thing I would have liked was a screen just like the Nikon D750; that
range of movement and no touch screen function.

PESO Anita Cocktail (and K-3 mini review)

2015-10-31 Thread Larry Colen
Last Tuesday I photographed a corporate charity poker game that they put 
on every year during Oracle World.  Each year they hire Anita Cocktail 
as entertainment at the event:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/22619174886/in/album-72157660578347352/

I had been worried about the high ISO performance of the K-3 relative to 
the K-5, but it worked out just fine.  There were a couple of times that 
the autofocus didn't work as quickly as I had hoped it would, and I 
missed shots because it couldn't lock focus in time, in the relatively 
low light. Metering seems to have improved over previous cameras, and in 
many ways I much prefer the UI over that of the K-5.


The Raw/fx button is still broken in that if you accidentally bump it, 
it will change your operating mode, but you have to go through the menus 
to change it back. Unfortunately, they also took off the astrotracer 
functionality of that button, which is how I preferred to have it set.


It is nice that the body is shaped much the same as the K-5, so it feels 
familiar in my hands, though that did mean I occasionally had to look at 
it to remember which camera I was shooting with.


I sincerely hope that when they release the 24x36 sensor camera this 
spring they also release a lower priced APS version of it, so that I 
could have two different bodies, with different sized sensors (and 
prices) and still easily shift between them.  But, they probably will 
feel that more money can be made by making people buy multiple full 
frame cameras rather than giving them an easy learning curve on the 
upgrade path from APS to FF.

Also, in the case of the Mike Tyson tattoo, the issue is Trademark
rather than copyright, so different laws apply.

Overall  the advice given in the article seems pretty sensible. In the
U.S, at least, the copyright owner can't sue unless the copyright has
been registered with the copyright office (and within 90 days of
"publication", which would mean when it appeared on the person on whom
it was applied).

Actually, here is the latest bill that I can find that covers fashion

And here is its discussion in Forbes:

This bill was meant as a replacement for the 2006 one previously

It turns out that EU and European countries provide better protection

No, not in the same way at all.

We're omnivores but that doesn't mean we ~have~ to eat meat. 

We evolved so when plant-based food was scarce we had the option of eating 
animals. There is some evidence (admittedly disputed) that many prehistoric 
tribes existed on an almost completely plant-based diet, rarely eating meat 
except as a last resort.

Cows and other ruminants, on the other hand eat only one thing in nature: grass.

Cheers,

Peso-Clipper Mills Cabin

2015-10-31 Thread Jack Davis


Took a leaf peeping drive yesterday well into the Sierra foothills.
Not a lot of color as yet, but enough to detect it's coming.
As had felt would happen, I came upon the same cabin I shot last 
year, with a couple differences. Some one or group had decided the 
beautifully positioned vine draped porch roof needed fixed. They
also took the opportunity to dishevel the delicately hung vine.
I wish they hadn't, but due to somewhat better lighting(?) and I
was holding the K-3 w/DA16~45 f/4, I took a few shots.

Comments appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Poke

2015-10-31 Thread knarf
Very interesting and informative read. Doesn't change my perspective though. 
Even if it's true that plants are sentient, how is that a justification to eat 
animals?


Whatever plants sense, I'm convinced that they don't feel pain, at least not in 
the same way animals do. 

And the intelligence they display seeks to be more like adaptation by evolution 
than anything else. 

One of the things plants have evolved to do is make animals eat them. They have 
made their seed pods sweet, juicy and delicious so we eat their seeds and 
spread them about in our auto-fertilizer packs (ie: poop). Pretty smart, eh? 
But more "evolutionary smart" than anything else.

There are actually "fruitarians" who only eat (you guessed it) the fruit of 
plants. I can see their point...

Cheers,

frank

I don't think anyone denies that, but it doesn't stand as an argument for or 
against eating meat, or nuts or berries or tubers or any particular food, or 
against somebody making an ethical choice against eating animals, or indeed 
exploiting them in other ways. One of the ways in which we differ from cattle 
and many other animals is that we can make these choices and live by them. 

I think it's unlikely that any cow, however gifted in ethics, could choose to 
be a carnivore, any more than she could choose an exclusive diet of brazil 
nuts, as she'd be at a distinct disadvantage in a hunt, and might struggle to 
bring down even a sheep, let alone a zebra or wildebeest, and would have a 
difficult time chewing one even if she did.

Even apart from that, the argument that we evolved as omnivores doesn't take 
into account that meat for most of our time and for most people was a very rare 
meal and contributed very little to daily survival and health. The amount we 
eat nowadays is far more than we evolved to eat and is partly responsible for 
our bad health.

And then of course there's the unnatural and cruel conditions in which we keep 
and feed most farm animals compared to the way the animals lived before 
industrialised agriculture. Even the most avid meat-eater should have some 
reaction against that if they're any kind of decent human, and if it's only 
because they value quality and flavour should insist on meat from animals that 
are raised without cruelty and fed a natural diet.

Congratulations Malcom, You now have an excellent lens in the 16-85

I am glad that I had pointed you out to this lens as your first
choice. Suggest you check it out thoroughly as some manufacturing
defects have been discovered. The latest one is a shift in the image
downwards after focusing. In the viewfinder you will notice the frame
drops down a bit after the lens has focused.

Enjoy your new baby.

Yeah, remember my mentioning having trouble with it locking focus. She 
kept walking towards me and by the time it locked focus, she was well 
within comfortable range for that lens.  Oh well, I still think it's a 
fun shot.


I later remembered another difference between the K-3 and the K-5, the 
sound of the shutter. I don't know if the K-3 is louder, but the sound 
is "sharper".

Once I got into it (Noscript is pretty effective) I was somewhat bamboozled.  It
seems to be a grotty way to display pictures - difficult to create a coherent
series of images when the viewer can click on anything they fancy from the

Doesn't look too bad to me. I, like several others, don't like the
number of external JavaScript sources it accesses, but I've seen far
worse. It looks to have been designed for mobile devices and I expect
it works splendidly for them – it's pretty good on my desktop web

A problem I found was that when I clicked to open one of the thumbnails,
I was then stuck with no way to get back to the thumbnail view - no
navigation arrows were visible.

A bit of investigation revealed that if I clicked the opened image, the
thumbnails and navigation arrows re-appeared (I'm on Windows 7 &
Firefox).  This wasn't intuitive to me.

Nice photosnaps though...

Around these parts organic bananas aren't much more than regular ones. Once in 
a while I'll buy organic. 

The flesh has a different consistency. Hard to express but it's a bit creamier 
feeling. And they taste pretty good; again I don't really have the vocabulary 
to properly describe it.

Or maybe it's my imagination, any differences, if any, are subtle.

Very nice work Ann. I may have missed it but I see no mention as to the size of 
the calendar.

Re: FS Friday - Up the Alcan calendar and a couple of other things

2015-10-31 Thread ann sanfedele

Ken -
Thanks and

good point about size I'll add that tothe smugmug listing  - it is there 
on cafepress... it is the only size they make now.


It is the standard wall calendar size, each page printed on 8 1/2 x 11" 
paper, landscape orientation, of course

so when hung for display it is 11 across and 17 " high

I know you recognized some of the locations :-)

So sorry for the repeat email for some of you - and I know this is coals
to Newcastle ...and I showed the list the photos
already ... scroll down for the FS friday stuff that isn't the calendar..

Here is a look  at the new one -
Kodachromes from two road trips in 1989 and 1992 to Alaska

https://annsan.smugmug.com/Works-in-Print/Calendars-in-Print/Up-the-Alcan-Wall-Calendar/


This year I'd really appreciate all of you who are planning to buy one
or more order them from me and make your _selection_
by November 15 - that way I can order the calendars, quality check each
one when I get them and mail signed calendars to you
in plenty of time for gift giving.  If there are problems with them on
the cafe press side I'll have time to get them reprinted... and
there won't be any calendars that start before January 2016 :-)

I say "selection"  because you can still order any of the other wall
calendars designed over the last 9 years from me.

https://annsan.smugmug.com/Works-in-Print/Calendars-in-Print

They are $19.00  each plus shipping USPS at the lowest rate I can get
depending on the number of calendars you order..
($3.00 if you only buy one.)

Re: Phonosnapographs

2015-10-31 Thread Marco Alpert
Hi Bob,

The snaps, as I’d expect, are lovely. However, I have a long-standing antipathy 
to gimmicky web presentations that don’t really add anything to (and in many 
cases detract from) the experience of appreciating the photos. To me, this 
falls solidly in that category.
