RE: GESO: Alisa W. photo shoot -- 6/17/13 (50 images)
I watched Joe Craig work one time, while he was taking photos of my wife and I. He chats away, getting you to open up your feelings a bit or talk about someting important in your life, a hobby, a loved one etc., and voila he gets great shots. No explicit posing for the most part. The stolen moments are when you capture someone being themselves. Photos I take of my wife are done that way, she doesn't like her picture being taken. More times than not she loves the result.

I guess my philosophy is that people can pay you to take photos of their kids smiling and being cute, but they can't stop you from creating the images you want to create in the process. They can pick the ones they like and I'll be happy to keep the ones I like. And the fact that a more doleful-looking image was captured in the context of a turn-and-smile portrait session doesn't make it somehow illegitimate. Obviously, no one was suggesting that at all. I'm just spouting off here. But, in my admittedly limited experience as a photographer (not just as a portrait session photographer, which is extremely limited), it seems as though some of my favorite images are the ones that are stolen moments. I could be in the middle of a party where everyone is laughing and smiling and otherwise having a great time, but the shot I'm really looking for is the pensive wallflower. -- Walt On 6/20/2013 8:34 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: Hold off taking that pill, Walt.

RE: Pentax K5 does not recognize Sigma 8-16 lens
Hoi Jos In CameraRaw.dll there is a code 3 44 which maps to Sigma or Tamron Lens. If your lenses have unique id codes, then you can modify the dll to give them specific names.

And another tread moved up on the ladder on the way to Stasi-like oversight in the worlds most outspokenly free country. Sad, very sad. There will be quite a few people involved at the company end to satisfy these type of requests.

RE: Adobe acknowledges cool reception
I used to fix mainframes in the 60's-80's. Even scarier how those used to
fail with few symptoms!
I use Windows Home Server as my backup/server platform. It duplicates all my
files on separate drives as well as full backups of our PC's. The server
manages 12TB for me. And I still do an offsite backup once a month or so,
esp. after adding a lot of photos like after our recent cruise (11,000
DNG's)
When I have to replace that server (WHS is now abonded), I will build a
server using some small motherboard, Windows 8 and Drive Bender
(http://www.drivebender.com/) to do the 'make it look like 1 big drive and
do duplication' stuff. I would prefer to use Windows Server Essentials 2012
but can't afford it ($400).
I am waiting for a sale on Elements and will then upgrade to 11 from 9. That
should take care of my needs as I already use LR4. Until of course Bruce
educates me on layers at which point I will probably outgrow Elemnts :-(

Thanks, Bruce (and Gerrit) that explains a lot. Seems I was foggy all
around, since I didn't spell fogie right. Heh. And agree, Peter, I can do
it cheaper myself than I could by subscription.
Guess I better upgrade my LR and Elements before it/they becomes/become
cloud. Not sure Elements hasn't already, but one can usually find older
copies (using 8 now).
Well, I've been a computer programmer, so I have an inherent distrust of
the reliability of any computer/computer-related hardware. Uh, they fail,
from time to time. One should have lots of redundancy. I trust me to do
that.
Not sure I would ever trust anyone else to do it as well.

Marnie, the Cloud word is a red herring. Nobody is requiring you to save
your files anywhere other than than what you do with them now. So forget
remote server, you save your files on your PC like you always have. And
your software still runs on your PC just as always. Nothing processes In
The Cloud somewhere. Once you install Photoshop, it's biz as usual.
In this context, Cloud is Adobe marketing people smoking up and saying,
Oooh yeah! pfff-choke Cloud is hip! Let's get that cloud word in our
product name somewhere. It could equally have been Creative Unicorns.
There are cloudy trimmings in the product, like the Behance social site and
the fact that you download the software from the cloud. But they are
almost completely misusing the word Cloud as IT people know it.
Basically Adobe has discontinued selling the Creative Suite (Photoshop,
Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) as boxed software. Instead they are renting it
to us in bundles, like cable TV channel packages.
So in theory you can get a lot of software for less money per month than
you used to pay for the entire Creative Suite plus upgrades every
1.5 years. That's great for professional graphic artists working for a
Fortune 500 firm.
But for free-lance or amateur photographers who just want Photoshop for as
little moola as possible, and expect to buy it like a book that you keep
forever, this move amounts to $20/month to Adobe for the rest of your
creative life. Because when you stop paying, the software stops working.
Your Adobe proprietary files become unreadable.
It should be noted that photographers *should* be saving their files in a
non-proprietary form, like TIFF, JPEG or even DNG if you trust Adobe's
intentions for that format. But lots of folks have projects saved away in
PSD (Photoshop), etc., who want to open and work on them from time to time.
Lightroom has been spared this tragic move; you will still buy it like a
book and pay for individual upgrades.
For now.

Job done! The underexposure is exactly the problem: in most cases although the JPEG (or the embedded JPEG in the RAW that we see the histogram for) is overexposed, the actual RAW data is under exposed, to the point that almost 25% of the histogram contains nothing. Since this strange effect only occurs after you tweak the camera settings to achieve this elusive UniWB thing, I'd respectfully suggest reseting your JPEG settings back to normal. On the contrary, this effect I've noted is **before** making any special settings, i.e. straight normal settings. Ciprian, can you describe a scene or circumstances in which you have observed this very odd behavior? Maybe an example image? I'm non-plussed because in all of my shooting I've _never_ experienced that. And I can safely say that I've shot in just about every known lighting condition. [Known to me. :-)] BTW, I shoot strictly RAW, no +JPEG, WB usually fixed at Cloudy, JPEG configuration at factory defaults or close to. I stick to a 16-bit post-processing workflow. I'm a stickler for image quality. Now elsewhere you have explained that you want to doctor or calibrate your histogram in aid of calculating exposures for doing ETTR. You might want to consider that ETTR is considered by many to be no longer relevant and even harmful. I don't follow the notion anymore myself. Have you read this? http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2011/10/exp ose-to-the-right-is-a-bunch-of-bull.html Or: http://goo.gl/UFjy3 Even doing nothing but RAW shooting I know that once you clip your highlights, they are gone.

RE: OT Striking a blow for cropping
I was recently reminded of the benefits of cropping while letting Picasa does its face recognition thing on 89,000+ photos/scans. The faces recognition crops of my wife showed an incredible range of expressions over the many years I have know her. Were I to look at the source photos, those expressions would not be as intense and in some cases not even noticeable. I have been happily cropping as needed for the last 6-8 months. Yes, I still try for the optimum in the viewfinder but often enough when I later start looking at the resulting image, I play with cropping. As Ken recently suggested on my 'Lone Tulip', simple changes can make for a more appealing image. Thank you for providing the link, interesting reading indeed.

If we had private insurance, I would say it's between the rider and his insurance company, but in a publicly funded system, the cards play a little differently. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I have quite a few new zoom lenses - Pentax, Tamron and Sigma - some in the high quality f2.8 version.

RE: OT Photoshop CC spurs competitive market for Photoshop replacement
One of the falacies of cloud anything is that everyone has good internet access, esp. upload speeds. This is not the case in most rural areas of North America. I would go so far as to say that in Canada it is not even true in urban areas. Until recently my upload was a stellar 512kb/s. While these apps run on your machine, they intrinsically rely on upload to a cloud service to share the output. In the myths section it isn't clear if you can store the files anywhere that you please or if you must store in a cloud folder. One advantage fo rthe occasional user is that you can pay for a month, get your work done, then unsubscribe until the next batch. Might be cheaper in the end for some of us. Either way, the change over to recurring license fees is in line with the fact that you only license the sw in the first place. I imagine the price for physical copies of CS6 on ebay.ca will be going up :-) Gerrit -Original Message- From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Bruce Walker Sent: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 10:35 AM To: Pentax Discuss Mailing List Subject: OT Photoshop CC spurs competitive market for Photoshop replacement If you hadn't heard, Adobe announced a new Photoshop version, CC, and announced that henceforth you cannot purchase the former Creative Suite tools anymore: you must rent them. CC stands for Creative Cloud, and all the tools (except consumer, like Elements, and Lightroom I think) will be paid for by monthly or annual subscription. So if you're a photographer like me, you can have Photoshop alone for $19.95 a month. If you cancel your subscription -- poof! -- your copy of Photoshop no longer functions. The whole subscription pricing model makes sense and contains lots of benefits for fulltime professionals, but the rug has been pulled out from under amateurs, part-timers and hobbyists. We tend to buy an upgrade to Photoshop for $200 or so and then skip a version or two before doing that again, so Photoshop costs us about $100 a year or less. Now it will cost $240/year in perpetuity. This has just got to create a market for a decent Photographer's Photoshop Clone to appear. Something that supports 16-bits, RAW formats, full layers, and ideally Ps plugin support. Maybe the Gimpers will step up to the plate? At this point it appears the best choice would be to own CS6 and hold onto to it until it's no longer supported by your OS. Hopefully an alternative will appear by then.

RE: OT For the cyclists here
I own a car, therefor I pay insurance. Being able to choose which company makes no difference as to who gets to use the money that I pay, I get no say whatsover as to whose accidents get paid out or not. So really I have no choice, I pay. Now suppose person x, a car driver insured by the same company I am insured with, has an altercation with someone on a bicycle who is also not wearing a helmet. Instead of bruises we now have concussion and brain damage. Insurance pays damages to cyclist eventually, health insurance (in this case my tax money as it is Ontario) pays for the hospital care, other taxes pay for ambulance, police, possibly helicopter etc. I have no idea if OHIP goes after the insurance company for payment or not, but I doubt it. If there are too many expensive cycling accidents involving cars, then the rates go up, for everyone, not just that insurance company because the probility of that risk occuring has gone up. Who is at fault makes no difference, it is paid for out of 2 pools of $, both of which are funded by in essence the public, by premiums or taxes or both. In the casse of car vs cyclist incidents, the no-fault system doesn't even come into play, there is only 1 insurance company involved. So, that cyclists opinion that they have the freedom to not wear a helmet potentially impacts a lot of peoples pockets. It certainly doesn't affect theirs as they don't pay for insurance, except perhaps OHIP. Yes, they lose pay while in hospital depending on whether they have LTD coverage or not. If they do, then , yes the insurance company who provides that pays out, using the money many others including companies pay as premiums. The company of course passes the expense to me, the consumer. There is no magic pool of money that pays for stuff. We all pay, directly or indirectly. My personal opinion is that many accidents are in fact negligence, sometimes it is the perpertrator with an innocent victim, sometimes the victim is the cause. And if negligent, then the person responsible should pay, directly, some portion of the aftermath. Maybe insurance covers a lot but they need to pay for their decision/negligence. It is called accountability. If you don't want to wear a helmet or seatbelts, then pay for the repurcusions yourself. That should maybe factor into the 'decision made by an adult in full possesion of the facts'?.

Usually no-fault benefits are fairly minimal and are not a major cost to the system; that's why the insurance industry lobbied long and hard to have the government implement such a system. The big awards, the pain and suffering, punitive damages and loss of future wages tend to still be fault-based. The bottom line is that large amounts public funds rarely get into the hands of one who is at fault in any motor vehicle accident.

RE: OT For the cyclists here
I'm not worried about it, I am just pointing out that accidents cost money. The costs are not paid for by some magic pot of money, it is for paid by all us in some way or other. Deaths are not likely the most expensive scenario, long term effects from broken bodies is likely more costly to the system. I also don't think I was centering out miscreant cyclists, although living at Palace Place I had more than a few run ins with the more extreme examples. I'm sure that in most cases the driver is at fault, people in general don't pay much attention on the road. It is the general approach being proffered in the thread that it is up to the individual to decide on whether to wear a helmet or seat belt. Those individuals impose the costs of their decisions, in case of an incident, on the rest of us via health care (taxes) and insurance costs (drivers are insured, cyclists aren't). gerrit Getting another PESO ready -Original Message- From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of knarftheria...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 6:33 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: OT For the cyclists here Relax!

We just returned from a 90 day cruise, never once used a model release. Off the ship I asked permission to photograph, particularly in Muslim countries such as Indonesia, Egypt and Tunisia. For general crowd shots no big deal. On the ship I didn't ask because they asked me to take the photo, e.g. the knitting group. In Tangier is the only place I really noticed women hiding their faces, expecting tourists to photo them. Which is why I always ask first when doing a shot of a single person/ close-ups. There was a professional photographer passenger as well, didn't see any model releases there either.

RE: OT - Coffee terminology in the USA
If it is a decent place, i.e.. not Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts et al, then ask for a longo (the o is pronounced as a u). Essentially it is an double espresso but they keep it pumping longer. This is how they make regular coffee in NL and it is great. Not watered down like an Americano. Latte is similar to flat white (we drink those when in NZ) or kafe leche in Spain. Just realize that you need to find an espresso bar, Starbucks isn't it as described below.

Of course my SSD graft-in of a couple of months ago was in preparation for this and has helped a great deal.

Of course, in my 6 year old mind, it had to be part of the ACME Corporation. I bugged my parents for months, to no avail, that I had to be taken to that store to see the wonders that surely must be on the shelves. Certainly, there would be 10,000 pound weights, and cases of dynamite, rocket powered roller skates, all the things that the Coyote bought could surely be had at ACME Novelty. Finally, one Saturday my parents relented, even though they knew, deep in their great big hearts, that they were setting me up for what would surely be the greatest disappointment of my childhood. And sure enough, when we walked into that great big department store, and walked past aisles filled with slightly out of fashion woman's clothing, cheap suits, inexpensive furniture and housewares, I was ever hopeful that if we went around just one more corner and into one more aisle, we would come to the section of the store that catered to Wiley Coyote. But it was not to be, for ACME Novelty was not really part of the ACME Corporation, or at least not part of the ACME Corporation that I was familiar with from spending hours watching the Roadrunner outwit his hapless nemesis. Friends, I was inconsolable. I led my parents through that entire store at least twice, ever hopeful that we had managed to miss the one aisle in the entire world that held the wonderful products that I had seen on TV. Finally, with tears of disappointment streaming down my cheeks, they led me back to the car and we drove home, my father being the very kind man that he was, told me that it was probably just that we lived in such a small city, perhaps ACME didn't put their full line of products into this store. He tried, but I recall being put out like only a 6 year old child can be. I'm sure I was insufferable for days. -- William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
