Re: DPR review of K1 II is now up, not very favourable ...

[P. J. Alling]

Actually it's more like Ricoh shot Pentax in the foot.

What they were probably thinking was; "Damn all our competitors have 
released upgrades, and there are rumors of our impending demise, we have 
to get some kind of update out to head them off, even if it's 
underwhelming".


Personally I'd have liked to see a K3 III, with improved auto focus, 
even though that's not my biggest concern, and a few more lenses for the 
K-1, put the FF body upgrade out another year and get it right.

PESO: Redbud

[Daniel J. Matyola]

My redbud is really beautiful this year, but it is difficult to
photograph.  It is much too tall, and the individual buds much to small to
allow a good image of the entire tree or a single bud.  So, I compromised:

Just an FYI:

I was still considering upgrading my K1 to the 'II' level, for better high-ISO 
performance
better AF-tracking and the 'handheld' pixel-shift.

I don't like the hassle/risk of sending it in (to Germany, from the 
Netherlands) though.

Now, reading the review, it seems that the 'better' high ISO is achieved mainly
by adding noise reduction in the new accelarator chip, at the expense of detail.
(quite visible in small printed text for example).

So I will probably skip the update and save 500 Euros as well :)

I will wait for the next model, with newer sensor technology, and just enjoy 
the K1 until then!

Does Thunderbird have an error log that you can check? I just tried a 
test send to all three of my Gmail addresses (I have more than two 
dozen email addresses through four servers - don't ask why unless you 
want to hear another boring story) and Eudora is throwing a 
"connection timed out" error from the POP server for all three. I am 
investigating.

Why are you using POP rather than IMAP?

Yikes! Who decided _that_ was a good idea?

Looks like a triumph of marketing over engineering... the same review 
also rips dynamic pixel shift. Of the major enhancements to the K1 II 
only the improved AF seems to be holding up.


I wish Ricoh would offer substantive upgrades. The K1 is great but a few 
simple things would improve the experience - like a faster bus, bigger 
buffer, improved AF, AF sensors spread more widely throughout the frame. 
Not hyped up sexy features but basic, solid enhancements. Ridiculously 
high ISO and the promise of hand held pixel shift strikes me as just 
gimmickry.

They were thinking that people want a $2,000 point and shoot that does 
everything for them, including all of the thinking and making all of the 
decisions.  I may have my challenges, but as far as I know, I'm still 
smarter than a three dollar CPU.


I wish that they'd realize that people don't buy a top of the line full 
frame DSLR to shoot jpegs, so optimizing the JPEG performance for people 
who get just as crappy photos with a DSLR as they do with a phone, 
aren't the people you should design your flagship model for.

SmugMug will have to figure that out together with Yahoo. Yahoo
purposely reconfigured the Flickr authentication process to be
integrated with Yahoo's many years ago and I'm pretty sure that by now
all the original Flickr login credentials are history. Part of the
ownership cut-over will have to involve separating Flickr completely
from any Yahoo infrastructure in a clean way. It's been done before --
correctly -- so I'm confident it will happen in this case too and I'm
not too concerned myself.

I just hope they manage a cleaner cutover than the TSB/Lloyd's banking disaster.

http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/latest/photo-news/flickr-buy-questions-answered-118481



The only problem I foresee with SmugMug buying Flickr is that when Yahoo owned 
them I had to use my Yahoo login to login to Flickr. And that's been so long 
that I don't remember my original Flickr username & password from BEFORE Yahoo 
bought them.


I'm wondering if there's going to be any problem resurrecting an independent 
Flickr login for those of us who don't want to use our Yahoo login for something 
that is no longer part of Yahoo?

Re: The 2018 PDML Photo Annual is now available!

[Mark Roberts]

If anyone wants to get a group together to buy Photo Annuals and get
several shipped directly to your location I have a 40% off discount
code (that only I, the account holder, can use). 

Talk amongst yourselves and see if you can get enough people in one
location (or near enough) to make a bulk purchase worthwhile. This
would apply not only to this year's book but any past editions as
well, as long as it's all in one order.

Re: PESO: yellow-wattled lapwing

[John]

It's "click-bait" advertising. I got the same ad show up for "Raleigh, NC" when 
I temporarily allowed "gravatar.com" and "pubmine.com" in NoScript to see if 
show EXIF data on the lens Subash is using.


I didn't follow the link, but based on the accompanying image, it's probably an 
advertisement for a product that prevents license plate scanners from capturing 
your plate number.


https://www.aclu.org/issues/privacy-technology/location-tracking/you-are-being-tracked

The problem with these devices is that most places that use the license plate 
scanner technology also prohibit the devices intended to defeat them. You can 
get a ticket just for having it on your car.
