Just calibrated my monitor.

[P. J. Alling]

Well the main reason for this post is to help out anyone else trying to 
get new life from older equipment.  In this case the Spyder2 Colorimeter.


ColorVision doesn't support it for Microsoft OS' beyond Windows XP, but 
I hate to discard perfectly good hardware if I can avoid it.


I was able to find a free third party software product that seems to 
have done the job.  It /only/ took about two hours for the analysis to 
run.   I don't know if it's very through or very inefficient.


I stayed up to make sure it didn't need any user intervention, but for 
the most part it runs automatically.


Anyway if you're interested in giving new life to an old Colorimeter, 
The product is called DisplayCAL.


It can be a little tricky and obtuse to initially install, and takes a 
long time to profile a monitor, but hey it's free and seems to work.  It 
also supports a wide range of colorimeters, not just the Spyder2.


Now I'm off to bed, before I do something stupid and try to soft proof 
and print an image.

Don't tell the Missus...

[Bipin Gupta]

"DON'T TELL THE MISSUS" is such an oft heard and written word in
Photographic Circles and Forums.
Obviously it pertains to buying gear with the express permission from
ones Missus.

But why are MEN so afraid of their WOMEN here? After all it is the MAN's Money?
Not unless you are using your Missus's Money to buy the Gear - which
is considered most unmanly in many Cultures.

In Asian Culture real MEN don't ask their MIssus for permission to buy
Gear. We just go buy the Gear and tell our Missus so.

In zest only folks.
Regards.

2017 Photo Annual Update

[Mark Roberts]

We're two weeks into the image submittal period and things are moving
along. I'd like to get more photos uploaded early this year, though.
The last-minute rush is always a lot of extra work.

Here's the upload page: http://www.robertstech.com/pdmlbook/upload.php

And in case we have any newcomers who aren't familiar with it, this is
our yearly PDML photo book and we want YOU to submit three of your
photos. All proceeds (except your resulting fame) go to charity.

Questions? Speak up!

Wow, those are so perfect that they don't even look real, or maybe it's

I experienced Ringling Brothers as a little kid back in the mid 40’s. Followed 
the elephant parade from the train early in the morning and then watched them 
work with the men to put up the big tents. A magical experience with my 
grandfather. I don’t remember if we went back for an actual performance, but I 
sure remember the elephants and the men working together.

PESOs Friendly Finches

Sometimes I get nothing but sparrows in the backyard with an occasional

winter coats.

We have two touring circuses in SA, the relocated Mongolian & 
Boswell-Wilkie. Both have animal acts. They are still well supported here. 
The Elephants, horses & camels are big drawcards. These are social animals 
linked to humans for centuries. From what I have seen, thy are treated well 
and seem to enjoy interacting with people even outside the actual 
performances. I think the animal rights activists are a bit over the top. 
Why haven't they targeted horse racing & polo? Other animals, especially the 
big cats, pose much more of a problem - shades of the Colosseum in ancient 
Rome! Both our circuses have their resident staff & artistes but many come & 
go on short term contracts. There is plenty work available around the world. 
Cirque Soleil for instance.

Ringling Bro's retired the Elephants last year, it's the dropoff in

Re: Pentax M-E Mirrorless?

[P. J. Alling]

Because it would involve actual strategic planning and risk taking.  
Pentax has been risk adverse for so long that it's amazing that it 
hasn't infected all of Ricoh.   I always thought that Pentax missed a 
bet by not having an accessory EVF that would work on both the K-01 and 
Q series cameras, absent actually re-engineering the guts of the K-01 to 
make space for an EVF in say the the top left corner of the body.   It 
would have made a lot of people take both cameras a lot more 
seriously.   Now it appears the Q is following the K-01 into quite 
obscurity.   Soon to be flushed down the memory hole.   Even Q lenses 
have disappeared from the ricoh-Imaging website now.  No discontinuing 
the product announcement, just letting it fade away.


Let's face it the Q and the K-01 were both big risks, but the bean 
counters minimized the risks to such an extent that if they did have 
long term viability it was compromised  from the very beginning.


I fully expect that if Ricoh lets the Ricoh-Imaging division, (which 
really does seem to be in large part Pentax's engineering group and 
camera marketing arm), actually create a mirrorless system camera that 
it will more closely resemble in specifications the "Kodak" S1 not a 
Panasonic G anything or Olympus OM-D.

K3 AF Frame Rate

[Jack Davis]

If the 27 point focus zone array is selected, along with "H" speed, the burst
rate of my K-3 is both eager and constant, and seems to approximate the claimed 
8.3 FPS.
To me, the rate then sounds much like that of the AF-S shutter priority setting.
I didn't find this in the thin manual, it just happened when I chose to try a 
full 27 
point zone rather than 9.
I tried it out at the local refuge yesterday and found it to be a great 
improvement.
