Re: Storage wars

Your discs could be unfinalized. This is convenient if you want to add
files to a disc in multiple sessions or if you only ever read them on a
single computer, but is a problem when you want to read discs on a
different machine, such as in the future when you've retired the computer
or drive that originally burned the discs. Hopefully you can close the
sessions and finalize the disc, even without the original hardware or
software.

Not necessarily.

The first thing you should probably try is to see if you can read those
DVDs on a different machine - if either of your DVD drives is mis-aligned
(the one you wrote DVDs on or the one you are trying to read them on) you
might possibly get the behaviour you observe.

It's also possible that the DVD drives used different recording systems.
There were four different sub-species of DVDs; DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD+/-RW.
While most DVD drives I've seen were capable of reading all of the types,
it might just be that you've somehow ended up with one that can't do that.

A third reason, though, might be that the machine you used when creating
was capable of reading DVDs that hadn't been 'closed' (i.e. DVDs that had
some files on them, but which you could later add more files to), but the
new machine (or, strictly speaking, the driver software) couldn't do that.
An indication that this is the case would be if one of the choices that you
are offered when you put the DVD in the drive is to 'close' or 'finalize'
the disc.  If that's the case, then choosing that option might suddenly
make the files recorded on the disc show up.  That's a risky action,
though - if you do decide to try that I'd recommend only doing it for
the first time on a disc you're prepared to lose; if this isn't the
reason why you can't see the files then closing the session (which will
write to the disc) will probably eliminate any possibility of ever being
able to get at any of the files recorded on that disc.


Good luck, and keep your fingers crossed!

I'm going through a somewhat similar process myself, although I'm retrieving
data from several old external hard drives and copying it to the 1TB internal
data drive on my new system.  I've run into one drive that decided it wasn't
going to cooperate, but fortunately everything on that drive was replicated
on another drive that was still in working order. Once I've got everything
merged into one dataset the first thing I'll be doing is replicating the data
onto a couple of other external drives (one 2TB, and one older 500GB).
I considered getting a writable Blu-Ray setup, but for the price of a BD-R
unit I could get myself another 2TB external hard drive, which is a whole lot
more convenient (not to mention faster) than a stack of optical discs.

2017-02-02 Thread Paul Stenquist 
It was shot at 1/125th. It could have been shot two stops slower of course but 
I was dialed in to flip back and forth from mild action pics to statics. I 
can't use a prime for this because I work fast, shooting what interests me from 
between four tables. The range varies from a few feet to 25 feet, so a zoom is 
essential. Change lenses and miss shots. In any case the 24/70 is superior to 
my wider autofocus primes -- the fa 50/1.4 and the fa 35/2. The K85/1.8 is 
great, but I doubt I can focus it in minimal light. Might try one of these days 
just for grins.

PESO The Judge

2017-02-02 Thread Paul Stenquist 
Shot pool night again yesterday. As usual, my favorite was more a portrait than 
a pool shooter pic.
This is ISO 52,000, f3.5, 1/125th, K-1 with the D FA 24-70/2.8. A lovely lens.
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18339058&size=lg


The whole uneven set of 60 pics is here:

http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=1095686


I don’t edit these down much because my friends like to see themselves play 
pool shark. :-)

Boston

Hello John, we visited Boston from Toronto at almost the same time as you.
What a Photogenic University Town including nearby Cambridge.

Enjoyed the photos posted by you. They bring out the spirit of this old city.
The colors and composition are excellent.

Here is the link to some memorable photos from Boston. Taken with the
Pentax K-5 IIs
+ the Sigma 10-20 EX DC Lens. Note how brutally sharp this lens is,
even after each
photo has been reduced down drastically from 15 to 19 MB each.

Regards.

Light brings great photos & happiness, shadows touch the soul.
