Re: Irfanview replaces Adobe Camera Raw for PS CS2
Once I get the K5-IIs, I'll just switch over to the dng format for good.

Most of the light is above and behind the band members. There is a color changing LED lamp to the left of the band, so much/most of the front lighting is in wonky colors. At one point I got a battery powered LED lamp (from costco) and put it on a speaker to try and improve the lighting.

Irfanview replaces Adobe Camera Raw for PS CS2
Last week I was looking for solutions for developing K=5IIs raw files into jpgs as my ACR for PS CS2 does not support that camera. Someone suggested Irfanview, so I installed the latest version V4.51 64 bit. opening the raw files from my istDS to try it, I was disappointed compared to ACR and PS CS2. I left Irfanview installed on my system however. Then later, something interesting happened. While in PS, I opened a istDS raw file from the file menu and instead of ACR interface kicking in, an Irfanview interface kicked in, with sliders for exposure, shadows, highlights, brightness, colorspace, etc and an "open" button.

Although my sample photo doesnt show it, the lens is known for excellent bokeh. It and the vivitar series 1 version both go by the nickname "Bokina".

Re: MACRO shot with Tokina AT-X 90mm F2.5 PKA Manual Focus
Interesting. He mentions the Vivitar Series 1, 90/2.5 and says it’s heavier. It is indeed because it’s all metal and built like a tank. He also fails to mention that the Vivitar came with an optical converter that makes it 1:1. I was heartbroken because I thought workers had stolen my pristine copy, but I’m happy to report that I found hiding at the rear of a shelf just the other day.

Re: Blood moon in the Netherlands
Some of the best, most enjoyable photos of the eclipse I've seen on Flickr have lots of clouds in them.

Many already left, because "too cloudy" and nothing to be seen. Than, suddenly the moon became visible, vaguely with the bare eye, much better on the sensor, proving again that the sensor sees much better in the dark, than the human eye. K1 and D-FA 28-105 @ 77mm and 800 ISO 1sec F5.6 Because of the moving speed of the moon, I did not dare to go further than 1 sec Probably there are technics to take this picture with less noise.
