Selecting prints for a show

2018-08-21 Thread Larry Colen
I've decided that I should put together a set of prints that I can show. 
I've also decided that my birthday party in a few weeks is as good of an 
excuse/opportunity to show off prints as I'm going to get, and would be 
good incentive to have a set in case I have an opportunity to do a real 
show.  It's also nice that with metal prints I don't have to worry about 
mounting, frames etc. so this first one will be metal prints.


I'm looking for help selecting candidates to select from, because as 
Mark noted earlier photographers are often the worst judges of their own 
work. I'm asking here because there are some awesome photographers here 
who have better than average taste, at least in terms of selecting and 
critiquing photos.


My first pass of candidates are here:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157670417983657

My collection of monthly and annual favorites is at:

Re: question about zooms and TCs

2018-08-21 Thread P. J. Alling
It only became possible to "set" the focal length in the camera after SR 
was implemented,  Prior to that I don't think that Pentax or anyone else 
bothered since that was unimportant to the cameras ability to use the 
lens and being able to arbitrarily change the focal length in the EXIF 
could lead to unverified data being stored.   Let's face it knowing the 
focal length doesn't change the exposure decisions the camera has to make.

Re: question about zooms and TCs

Well that makes sense, the earlier TC was just passing information along 
for EXIF data, any newer TC would probably be taking IBIS into account 
with cameras that have that feature.  The fact that it's also more 
accurate data even if the camera doesn't have that feature is secondary.

Re: more PPG woes?

Ricoh does some marketing and apparently has deals with B&H, Amazon and others 
to promote Pentax products. That’s efficient marketing. PPG is hugely 
inefficient. It has to be staffed and maintained, and then for it to be 
effective, it has to be promoted. Not a good way to spend a thin marketing

I have removed my files from the gallery and requested that my account be 
closed and removed. There's no button for opting out.

Same here.
Last week, I check the PPG site, and the Upload page was still broken.
When I tried to send them a message through the contact page.  the
"captcha" could not be satisfied, and would not permit the message to be
sent to Ricoh.
Late last night, I tried again, and received a message like the one you
got:  "Your connection is not Private.  Attackers might be trying to steal
your information from pentaxphotogallery.com"
Does anyone have a general email for PentaxRicoh that we can ise to try to
communicate with them?
It looks like the PPG is dead.  :(

Tried going into PPG today and my browser/security program would not let
me. "Unsecure" site...I tend to trust it so am not going to try...yet.
Anything on your end?

The K-1 Upgrade

What’s the consensus on the K-1 upgrade. Any noticeable improvements? Any 
downside other than cost?
