Re: OT: Commercial printer - Nations Photo Lab

Reasonable, quick and very high quality. -Original Message- From: Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com Subject: OT: Commercial printer - Nations Photo Lab Just curious if anyone has any experience using Nations Photo Lab? I'm tempted to give them at try, but on the other hand if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. They lose points for the missing apostrophe in their name, but such is the condition of our nation. AdoramaPix, which I've used in the past, has these prices for Metallic Prints (followed by Nations Photo Lab, in parenthesis): 20x30...$135 ($29) 24x36...$190 ($38) Nations will also do 30x30 for $38 and 30x40 for $55.

K500 - $400 (kit) K50 - $450 K5 IIs - $700 K3 - $1200 Since I'm on a limited budget and already have multiple lenses, I'm looking at a body only to save a few dollars. I know all are an upgrade over my 7+ year old K100D. I shoot family gatherings, kids sports and landscapes. I don't think I want to get into video, so that portion of any camera is of limited interest right now. My question really is do I spend more on the higher lines or stick with a lower level camera? Right now, leaning towards a K50, but wondering if I should scrape up more funds and go with the K5 IIs. Just looking for your thoughts as I jump into online reviews my decision making processes. Cameras are terrible things to bankrupt yourself over. The K3 is a lovely camera if you can stretch the budget, but if 16mp will do and your needs and budget are modest, I suspect the K50 would do you just fine. I suspect all you would be giving up over the K5II is the build. IIRC, the K50 is a plastic body while the K5 is metal. 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.
Re: OT: Sandisk Extreme failure and it gets HOT
Good to hear - at least so far. -Original Message- From: Charles Robinson charlesr@visi. Subject: Re: OT: Sandisk Extreme failure and it gets HOT Followup: Sandisk asked for a bit more documentation (including the serial number printed in light grey-on-black on the back of the card) and have issued an RMA. I got an apology that the 30MB/s card is no longer available and they will be replacing it with a 45MB/s card (more than the K5 can shove at it, but hey). So I've printed out the UPS label, boxed up the old card, and shipped it off to SanDisk. They made it clear we will not ship warranty replacement cards without return of the original product so I expect within a week or two my bum card will be replaced with a shiny new one. That went about as simply as one could hope for! On Aug 6, 2014, at 23:56 , P.J.

On the first, I tried putting the card into the K20D which then formatted the card and it worked fine, the second card appeared to format in the K20D but then failed when I attempted a test photo with the K20D. The first actually worked in the K-5II after being formatted by the K20D. I don't really trust that first card, but it's there in a pinch. I figured I'd take advantage of the lifetime guaranty from Sandisk, but gave up after realizing I couldn't prove I actually bought the card. Both cards were bought at the same time, and neither had given me any trouble before. Maybe it was just their time to fail.

Matyola danmaty...@gmail.com To: PDML pdml@pdml.net Sent: Friday, August 8, 2014 10:57:55 PM Subject: PESO: Bluebird of Happiness The bluebird of happiness flew up my, ah, nose. G For decades, I had kept a number of bird feeders in our back yard, as many as eight at a time. For much of that time, I recorded my visitors under a program run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I really enjoyed watching the birds enjoying my feeders. In recent years, however, the deer and squirrels attracted by the bird feeders have become a bigger and bigger problem. We also had occasional visits by racoons and black bear, which were very destructive, not to mention dangerous. Three years ago we got a new puppy, and we have been trying very hard to train him to stay in our yard, so he could tun free, at least in that acre or so. The deer and other critters attracted by the bird feeders became a major nuisance, so very reluctantly I decided to give them up. The lack of bird feeders the last couple of years has greatly reduced the number of deer and squirrels in our yard, and made it a lot easier for our Malamute to enjoy playing in the yard. There has been a surprising side effect, however; there are a lot more birds nesting in our yard than before. I suspect that the more aggressive birds attracted by the bird feeders, like blue jays, cardinals, starlings, grackles and crows, had been intimidating smaller birds and discouraging them from nesting in our yard. Last year we had two bird houses that were occupied with small birds. This year, we had five occupied bird houses, plus a nest in a tree and one on one of the floodlights on my house. Better yet, for the first time in decades, we have bluebirds nesting in two of our bird houses. One of the bluebird houses is on the edge of the woods, and I see the birds infrequently. The other is close to the house, however, and we see them several times a day, often when we are at the pool or in the hot tub, which is quite close to the house. I have, of course, been trying to capture some images of the bluebirds, with little success. They are quite shy, and disappear as soon as they see my camera. (How do they know what I'm up to?) Even when I manage to sneak up on them, they are so quick in and out of the house that there have been very few opportunities. This weekend, I decided to give it yet another try. I set the tripod up on the deck, but they saw me and kept hidden. After an hour of no sightings since I brought out the camera and tripod, I gave up. As I was putting my gear away, I had an idea: They don't seem to mind us when we are in the hot tub, so why don't I try hiding behind the hot tub, resting the camera on the cover? I knelt behind the hot tub and set up the camera. after a few minutes, the female flew out of the house, and back in a few minutes later, but she was too quick. Besides, I couldn't get in a position to focus properly through the view finder or even the LCD. I pre-focused on the surface of the bird house, and waited, with my finger on the shutter release and the camera set on multiple images. After about 20 minutes, my back was aching, but suddenly the male put in an appearance. I fired off several rapid-fire shots, and then tried to follow him when he rested in a tree and then on the top of the dog run. I wasn't able to get a good sharp image of the male, so I plan to try again this weekend. This is the best I have been able to manage so far: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17830976size=md Comments are appreciated.

The shot was a bit rushed; I didn’t get as close as I would have liked given I had the 21mm on the camera. Still, I got some good looks and poses. But I would very much like to know which crop you prefer.

I had dragged a crate of props along to the shoot, including this book with a very colourful cover: Basic Television Principles and Servicing, Fourth Edition, Bernard Grob, (c) 1975. It's from one of my college courses, and I have no idea why I'm hanging onto it. I handed it to Dee, the model, and instructed her to pretend to read it. So she opened it up and immediately began to read aloud to us from the chapter on Deflection Oscillators.

Getting the exposure right with the lit sign, the neon, and everything else was a bit of a challenge, particularly since the neon blinked.

I did a lot of experimenting with long exposures and/or multiple exposures (some in-camera and some in Photoshop), both with and without HDR processes. I'm trying to work time into my photographs rather than capture a decisive moment like HCB. This first shot was one that I planned for and which turned out even better than I'd hoped. I set up in a tube station with the intention of combining multiple show-shutter-speed shots of the people on the platform with a train coming into the station. Lacking a tripod, I braced the camera on something solid (I forget exactly what), zone focused and waited for people to walk in front of the camera and for a train to arrive. Unusually and unfortunately there were few people coming through the station at that time but I did get two shots that I thought would work well together. I combined both images in Photoshop, converted to BW (which took a lot of fiddling with the color sliders to get looking just right) and added some noise.

The Old Ones know the truth, but they have long since gone beyond the Rim. bill I understand your point, an image is a reflection/rendering of a narrow reality at that point in space-time in the direction the camera was pointing. :) For photo-journalism to say an image is untruthful or has no integrity because an object is removed, is fallacious at best and hypocritical at worst, because a like image taken from a slightly different vantage point would also eliminate that object and still be considered truthful. If the object removed was done so with the intent of altering the message, that's different. Subtraction is the basic process of composition. Other alterations or additions have more to do with changing the integrity of the image. I have a real problem with additions or moving of objects in an image. Alterations to achieve a desired effect, be it exposure, contrast, saturation, are in many respects the bread and butter of non-documentary photography. Tom C.

My family was totally FORD ! When I interviewed G.M I was totally turned off by their attitude - especially Chevrolet - making me feel priviliged if they offered me a job. I interviewed Ford and was offered the job during the interview and from that time till now my family has been a Ford family. Back in the late 60's there wasn't much significant differences between Fords or Chevies except for the styling. Alot has changed over the years.

Our first family car was a Ford, but my dad was truly an independent thinker, so he followed up with a Rambler, than a couple of Oldsmobiles. I grew up lusting over automobiles made in Detroit, and as a young adult had success racing machines that at least looked like big three products, but that early fondness for things Motown was torn asunder in later years. My first jobs in advertising were for the Europeans, Jaguar and Mercedes, at NY agencies. Ford's Lincoln/Mercury agency, Young and Rubicam, talked me into coming to Detroit as creative director on the Lincoln business in the early nineties. At the time, Ford's style of management was shit flows downhill, and the ad agency was at the bottom of the hill. The two years I spent on that business were the most miserable of my life. A couple of years at GM's Buick agency, McCann Erickson, were slightly better, but I wasn't really comfortable in the Motor City until I got on the Dodge account at BBDO. That was a great place to work, and Dodge was a great client. Of course that piece of business went to hell when management sold their souls to a devil named Daimler, bu t I had ten great years there. After 23 years in metro Detroit, I've grown accustomed to this place. These days I work primarily as a journalist, and the car companies that once beat me up go out of their way to make me happy.
