Re: PESO: Night Sky (Pentax Content)
Thanks Ann. It's a bit creepy standing around in a dark field wondering if there are coyotes stalking you, but it turned out OK. bill On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 4:20 PM ann sanfedele wrote: > It's lovely!

Re: PESO: Night Sky (Pentax Content)
Thanks Larry. The camera was giving me kittens last night. I've been using the Fuji so much I've forgotten how to run a K1, which is embarrassing. The GPS gave me an OK for calibration, but I suspect I should have done it again. I don't think it was tracking quite right. I wasn't getting the exposure times I thought I should have been getting before I started getting trails. Also, the DFA* 50/1.4 is not an especially good lens for this, as I have read on several night photography forums. One of my goals this year is to get some decent night sky photographs. I did discover a couple of cool features in the K1. Timed bulb exposures up to twenty minutes is supported by the camera, for example. I didn't know about this until I decided I wanted to try shooting night scenes. Also, my location seemed pretty dark, but apparently wasn't. I live pretty close to one of the dark sky places in North America. It's about a 3 hour drive from me. My intention is to hone my skills a bit more and then head out there for a session. thanks again bill On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 4:23 PM Larry Colen wrote: > It’s a pleasant image, I see nothing to be so modest about > > > On May 15, 2023, at 3:15 PM, Bill wrote: > > > > This is my second attempt at doing nighttime landscapes.

Re: Slide scanners

Any recommendations or warnings? The really good film scanners are no longer available new. I've used various Nikon sanners over the last 20+ years. They all have the diadvantage of their rather 'harsh' light source that tends to emphasize film grain. Somewhat like the difference between enlargers with condensers and diffuse light sources. Their second drawback is that the film plane and the light source/mirror are disposed horizontally: more room to collect dust. So they needed regular cleaning by the local Nikon service. I've been using a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 for many years now and I'm very happy with the results. The scan quality is excellent and it comes with carriers for digitizing 4 framed slides or strips of 6 negs in one go. The innards are positioned vertically and I've never needed to have it cleaned. The optical quality of this Minolta scanner is so good that many are now cannibalised by people using teir lens for macro photography since some *beeep* blabbed about it in his photo blog. Software is no problem as this scanner is supported by Ed Hamrick's Vuescan (www.hamrick.com) even under the latest versions of Windoze and Mac OS. Ralf -- Ralf R.

Re: Slide scanners
Or the JJC adapter which mounts on a camera. Most cheap scanners have mediocre optics..
