GESO: Coast To Coast

2012-02-12 Thread David Mann
Another gallery of sweaty athletes finishing one of the world's great 
multisport races, 243km of hurt across the South Island of NZ.

Unfortunately I don't have a media pass, a helicopter and a couple of 645Ds to 
cover this event with.  So as usual I went down to the finish and waited around 
for competitors to come in.  I struggled a bit with the light which went from 
being too contrasty to too flat.  The shadow/highlight tool is a life saver.

http://www.multisport.net.nz/nz-multisport-photos/1743-coast-to-coast-2012-photos.html

The one-day race (people with red numbers) was won by Richard Ussher, and his 
wife Elina won the women's race, which may help to explain the last photo.  
They are both pretty much at the top the multisport world and it was nice to 
see them both win this time (she came second last year).

The lady in #7 is Neelusha Memon who is the first legally blind person to ever 
complete the race.  These two links will give you more info about her if you're 
interested.
http://www.multisport.net.nz/multisport-news/race-news/1711-speights-coast-to-coast-neelusha-memon.html
http://limitlesswithsupport.com/

And the guy in #12 is Mike Ward who has competed in the race 29 times.  Not bad 
when this year is the 30th anniversary.

Cheers,
Dave

PS if you want bigger images let me know and I'll run it through Jalbum.

Re: Comments on the new lenses and Optio WG-2

2012-02-12 Thread Margus Männik
And once again I have to ask - where is the 1.4x SDM teleconverter? They 
have planned it for years, what makes it is so hard to design / produce? 
560mm sounds nice in theory, but in practice I rather would carry 
60-250mm or 300mm (which I do have already) + a little high-quality TC.

Since I just figured out how to get Gmail to work with the PDML, I'm
pretty behind on all the latest gossip. I'd just like to add my two
cents about all the new products Pentax has announced lately. (item
list taken from
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/02/07/Pentax_In-development_lenses)

1. smc PENTAX-D FA645 90mm F2.8
I'm glad to see Pentax is showing more support for the 645D. I'll
likely never own one, but it's nice to see it's not just a flash in
the pan.

2. smc PENTAX-DA 560mm F5.6
OMG I WANT THIS LENS. Even though it's a stop slower than my K 500mm
4.5, I would kill for autofocus on a long tele like this. Too bad I'll
probably never be able to afford it. However, if the price isn't too
horrible, I might sell the K 500 and put that money towards this one.
I'd sure miss the rifle sights on the K 500, though...

3. smc PENTAX-DA 50mm F1.8
I've been waiting for a lens like this for a long time. Even though
I'd prefer the 55mm 1.4, there's no way I can afford it. I'll probably
sell my FA 50mm 1.4 (and maybe my A 50mm 1.2, which I never use) to
get this lens.

4. Q lenses TELEPHOTO ZOOM and MOUNT CAP LENS
Although I'll probably not get a Q (too expensive!), I'm intrigued by
this mount cap lens that is described thusly: Eye-catching “body
mount cap” design, along with a toy-camera-like visual effect. Does
anyone else think it sounds like a pinhole lens?

5. A lens for the PENTAX K-01
This unnamed pancake lens reminded me to give my opinion of the K-01:
What an ugly brick of plastic! Get rid of that designer, Pentax, and
hire someone who knows how to make a camera.

6. Adapter Q for K mount lens
This product was inevitable, but I'm glad they're releasing it
relatively soon after the Q's introduction. I'm curious why it needs a
built-in shutter unit, though.

7. Optio WG-2
I want this camera. Seriously, I'm going to start saving for it as
soon as I get back from Melbourne this May. Pentax's waterproof
cameras have always been great (for PS cameras, of course), and this
one has all the features I want. I'm particularly glad they added
another light to the macro lights around the lens. Now the lighting
should be a bit more even all the way around the object.


As long as none of these things I hope to buy turn out to be as much
of a lemon as my DA* 16-50, I'll be happy.

 Here's an experiment, take your K5 mount a 200mm or longer lens on it put it

 me you always use a tripod with long lenses.  I know you'd be fibbin'.  If 
 you use a monopod the issue is worse.  It will be just impossible to use one 
 properly.
 


What percentage of people who buy entry level DSLRs own lenses over 200mm?  For 
that matter, what percentage buy any lenses other than the 18-55 (or 
thereabouts) kit lens that the camera comes with?

This camera isn't  supposed to be the be all end all camera for everyone that 
takes photos.   In most conditions that most people who buy one will use it, it 
should have performance on par with just about every APS sensor camera with a 
list price something like $500 less than the D7000 or K-5.

OT: The real danger of cat pics

2012-02-12 Thread Ralf R. Radermacher
Tumblr is headed by groups of New York gays and nerds, and the head
honchos seem to really like cats. You can't have a moral website with
cats, that's an inherent contradiction. However, cats are extremely
persuasive and have turned many people to the dark side. Cats also have
a tendency to be evil, which we can see in cases such as Catwoman, in
which the feline is extremely destructive and causes a great deal of
harm to everyone. Many immoral liberals use cats to their advantage
because they have hypnotic eyes and are small in frame. This is what
captures so many youth.

Since I just figured out how to get Gmail to work with the PDML, I'm
pretty behind on all the latest gossip. I'd just like to add my two
cents about all the new products Pentax has announced lately. (item
list taken from
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/02/07/Pentax_In-development_lenses)

1. smc PENTAX-D FA645 90mm F2.8
I'm glad to see Pentax is showing more support for the 645D. I'll
likely never own one, but it's nice to see it's not just a flash in
the pan.

2. smc PENTAX-DA 560mm F5.6
OMG I WANT THIS LENS. Even though it's a stop slower than my K 500mm
4.5, I would kill for autofocus on a long tele like this. Too bad I'll
probably never be able to afford it. However, if the price isn't too
horrible, I might sell the K 500 and put that money towards this one.
I'd sure miss the rifle sights on the K 500, though...

3. smc PENTAX-DA 50mm F1.8
I've been waiting for a lens like this for a long time. Even though
I'd prefer the 55mm 1.4, there's no way I can afford it. I'll probably
sell my FA 50mm 1.4 (and maybe my A 50mm 1.2, which I never use) to
get this lens.

4. Q lenses TELEPHOTO ZOOM and MOUNT CAP LENS
Although I'll probably not get a Q (too expensive!), I'm intrigued by
this mount cap lens that is described thusly: Eye-catching “body
mount cap” design, along with a toy-camera-like visual effect. Does
anyone else think it sounds like a pinhole lens?

5. A lens for the PENTAX K-01
This unnamed pancake lens reminded me to give my opinion of the K-01:
What an ugly brick of plastic! Get rid of that designer, Pentax, and
hire someone who knows how to make a camera.

6. Adapter Q for K mount lens
This product was inevitable, but I'm glad they're releasing it
relatively soon after the Q's introduction. I'm curious why it needs a
built-in shutter unit, though.

7. Optio WG-2
I want this camera. Seriously, I'm going to start saving for it as
soon as I get back from Melbourne this May. Pentax's waterproof
cameras have always been great (for PS cameras, of course), and this
one has all the features I want. I'm particularly glad they added
another light to the macro lights around the lens. Now the lighting
should be a bit more even all the way around the object.


As long as none of these things I hope to buy turn out to be as much
of a lemon as my DA* 16-50, I'll be happy.

cats, that's an inherent contradiction. However, cats are extremely
persuasive and have turned many people to the dark side. Cats also have
a tendency to be evil, which we can see in cases such as Catwoman, in
which the feline is extremely destructive and causes a great deal of
harm to everyone. Many immoral liberals use cats to their advantage
because they have hypnotic eyes and are small in frame. This is what
captures so many youth.



Thank the Lord! At least someone's moral compass is still pointing in the
right direction! and I don't mean asswards.

Very nice. There's a famous hat party about 1 minute into this clip from one
of the best of all French films.

It may look as though not much is happening, but there's metaphors firing

Re: PESO - Snow on Lakeshore

2012-02-12 Thread knarftheria...@gmail.com
I have very dim memories as a kid in Montreal of riding on the trams (as they 
called them there). Somewhere around 1960 they ripped them up.

Toronto is one of the rare North American cities that resisted the urge to 
modernize. I type this post on my mobile heading into town on the Queen 
Street car!  :-)

Our rolling stock is hopelessly outdated now but later this year we start 
taking delivery of new Bombardier streetcars.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words and thanks to everyone else who looked and 
commented.

 Hopefully you're not getting tired of all these streetcar photos, but

Not at all.  Two things that I'm not likely to see here are snow and  
streetcars (trams as we call them).  At one stage Sydney had one of  
the largest tram networks in the world but in the 1950s the  
politicians decided that buses were the future and ripped the entire  
system up.

We now have a small and relatively new light rail line to the inner  
western suburbs and there is continual talk of reinstating trams to  
the centre of Sydney, but I'm not holding my breath.




 We had a light snow a couple of weeks ago (now all melted) and I
 thought the Long Branch Car looked kind of nice heading through it:

 Hope you enjoy.  Comments welcome.

Re: Eliminate back or front focus problems

Moore's law has yet to meet the law of diminishing returns.  We may be 
at the middle of the curve, we may be at the bottom of the curve, but 
the basic laws of physics say we'll eventually hit the top of the 
curve.  More may be better and possible, (see what I did there), but you 
probably won't want to pay for it.

Right now it's about 1.3 mega-pixels, but with infinite processing power and
an infinitely large sensor, who knows?

Re: PESO - Snow on Lakeshore

On Feb 12, 2012, at 8:35 PM, Brian Walters wrote:

 Not at all.  Two things that I'm not likely to see here are snow and 
 streetcars (trams as we call them).  At one stage Sydney had one of the 
 largest tram networks in the world but in the 1950s the politicians decided 
 that buses were the future and ripped the entire system up.

Heh, we did the same thing at about the same time (maybe a few years later).  
Then in the 90s they laid some new rails for a tourist loop at massive cost.  
They'd just about finished the first extension a year ago but it's all on hold 
now.  I recently saw a photo of a suburban street where the old tram lines were 
re-exposed by earthquake damage.  In that case they'd left the old rails in 
place and just threw a layer of tar seal over the top.

I'd actually like them to bring light rail back into the city and make it 
useful.  Even better if they could figure out a way of getting rail out to the 
suburbs but I know that's a pipe dream.  I always hated the buses in town 
because they're so noisy.

A couple PESOs from this weekend

2012-02-12 Thread Larry Colen
I joined my friend Candice for another Salton Sea trip this weekend.  A couple 
of my more interesting photos were from the night before, and my trip home this 
evening.

An attempt at Japanese calligraphy:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/6868136207/in/set-72157629297628485/

There are some obvious difficulties I'll need to work out, but I think the 
technique shows promise

And following in Dave's footsteps:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/6868174851/in/set-72157629297714435/

I was driving past Arroyo Grande tonight, and unlike last night when I meant to 
try this, both the weather and the sunset were gorgeous.  I took a suboptimal 
route to the beach, nearly missed sunset, and it wasn't until I thought I was 
done shooting, and was walking back to the car that I remembered the steel wool 
and chain in the trunk.
