PESO Thank God For Ducks Day
I was invited to a very fun annual gathering yesterday, which started with a group of friends who couldn't find a turkey on the day after thanksgiving, so they bought duck for their dinner. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8216619108/in/set-72157632091297315/ -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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 went along for a holiday, and took my road bike so I could ride the canal road between the Tekapo A and Tekapo B power stations (about 60km return). These stations are located at lakes Tekapo and Pukaki respectively, with the canal linking the two lakes. The canal road is privately owned by the power company but is open to the public as a scenic route. It's split into two sections - it intersects with the highway about halfway along to form a figure-8. It turns out the first section was closed for repairs so I had to ride on the highway for a while to get to the intersection. I stopped in a few places to take photos with the cellphone. The pics don't capture the full extent of the scenery but they're better than nothing... http://www.multi.net.nz/canal-ride/ I'd rate that as one of the best rides I've ever done even despite the lack of hills.

RE: PESO: The Kona (for Frank)
A rather poignant story. Glad you got that last photo of the church (thanks to your bike!). I agree with the stuff in the spokes thing. Bike messengers around here love it, commemorating and/or protesting all manner of event and situation with laminated spoke cards. I had one once, commemorating one of the few messenger races I did. I could hear it vibrating as I rode. I figured that the noise was wind resistance and I have so little energy to spare I can't waste it on a silly card. Besides, they look dopey. Nice bike! Sturdy, simple, great urban tank. Several messengers here use them and they last forever.

I don't buy into the fashion of putting stuff in my spokes :) And the positioning of Jesus was not deliberate. The photo has a bit of a story so allow me to waffle... On September 3rd 2010 I bought a shiny new carbon road bike. That was a Friday and I'd taken the Kona into work, so I had to ride one bike home and pick the other up on the Saturday. The weather was a bit crappy and I thought about leaving the new bike behind so it wouldn't get wet. But I was so keen to ride the new bike the next morning that I just HAD to ride that one home. So I left the Kona in the locked under-stairs cupboard. Sure enough, at 4:35 the following morning Sod's Law came to fruition once again and my plans fell apart. The earthquake hit making a ride out of the question, and the CBD was shut down so I couldn't go and pick up the Kona. It was about a week before the cordon was lifted and I was able to go and retrieve the bike. I walked it straight to Cathedral Square and took this photo of it. Little did I know that the Cathedral would be in ruins just a few months later...

Re: Questions for the Cognes-Q-enti
Thant's an amazing showing of the Q's capabilities, Mark. Great stuff. Really great! Cheers, Christine On Nov 22, 2012, at 4:34 PM, Mark Cassino pdml-m...@charter.net wrote: Congrats on getting the Q - it is a ton of fun and kicks out pretty decent images as well. I bought a used Q Kit that had the standard prime, standard zoom, fisheye and toy telephoto. I added a K to Q converter right off the bat. The 5-15mm zoom has been my most used lens with the standard prime close behind. Both of those lenses just feel great and perform very well. For the type of shooting that I use the Q for the standard zoom is perfect. I was captivated by the fisheye but had iffy results manually focusing with it. When focused propertly (and I kept my fingers out of the field of view) it was great. I installed the new firmware a few weeks ago and focus peaking is a huge boon to me wrt to using this lens. I expect I'll use it a lot in the future and my problems focusing it will be greatly diminished. The lens that has seen virtually no use is the toy telephoto. I've tried it a few times and it works well. IMO it really should not be called a toy lens as that invokes lomography / holga etc (at least to me) and it is a straightforward good performing lens. It just lacks aperture control and autofocus and is not as nicely constructed as the standard lenses. The K to Q adapter is an excellent tool. I've been playing around with an M 50 f1.7 as my working telephoto, and with the updated firmware and image stabilization and focus peaking it works fine. The M 50 / adapter / Q is not at all awkward to me. I did several test shots with the Q and A* 200 f4 macro, D-FA 100mm and other K mount lenses. It worked well and is not terribly difficult to use. For macro the Q's DOF is great. My tests are here: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/testing-the-pentax-q-and-k-mount-lenses I am eagerly awaiting using K mount macro prime with focus peaking - just haven't gotten out to do any work with it. I'll be adding the telephoto zoom to my kit soon as well, since with the normal zoom it would be a great travel kit. I will also probably opt for the Pentax K to Q adapter with built in leaf shutter to be able to better use flash. Have fun!

Anyway - it came with the standard prime and I'm really going to need other lenses. On the wide end, there doesn't seem to be any alternative to the standard 5-15 mm zoom but for telephoto I'm torn between the upcoming long zoom and using K mount lenses via a Q to K adapter. The lack of autofocus with the latter option is a concern, my eyesight not being what it was. I'm certainly interested to any experiences that Q owners might care to share. As an aside, at it's current price point it seems to be selling like hot cakes - at least in Japan: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-94TvMGX7sRE/UKdGixfs8uI/AY8/66wdWCyU2bM/s1600/BCNQ1113.jpg -- 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: peso - pano
Yep, that's exactly what you posted a while back. Thanks, Toine! Cheers, Christine On Nov 23, 2012, at 12:48 PM, Toine to...@repiuk.nl wrote: With normal pano's the camera/lens is rotated in its optical nodal point. You moved the camera lens horizontally which creates a much nicer effect, it's also very difficult due to parallax errors if something is in the foreground. Compliments! I must try this myself. If you don't have a tripod a simple string is the solution. Connect it to the camera on one end and create a sling on the other end. Put your foot in the sling and pull the string tight. If you use a spirit level like the ones which fit in the hotshoe your camera is always at he same height and level. google string tripod for instance http://www.instructables.com/id/String-Tripod/ Toine On 23 November 2012 17:32, Christine Aguila christ...@caguila.com wrote: Thanks Toine! I used the 40mm pancake lens. Settings were 1/100 sec at f11, ISO 80. I started snapping at 5:03p and finished up almost 5:05p, Florida time, so I had some nice afternoon light. My first shot was the frame with the tree in it, and I worked to the right, moving the camera horizontally, and overlapping each frame about 50%. I read somewhere that's what you're supposed to do. As best I could, when I moved to the right, I eyed a linear path to follow when moving down the street to take the frames. I also made note of camera position and height and tried to repeat that from muscle memory as it were. These frame were handheld since I wasn't traveling with a tripod. After I was finished with the 5 shots of the art work, I decided to take the cafe on the left. I took 3 pictures there, trying to get a good expression and placement of the women working in the cafe. I really didn't have high hopes for that shot, since I snapped it out of sequence and didn't feel confident that I was close to the linear line I had followed for the 5 frames, but I got a little lucky there. When I tried to stitch these 6 frames in Photoshop, the interface made my black pickup on the far right into a convertible--yep, hood completely disappeared, and the back tire in the foreground had a chunk missing--as if some animal had taken a bite out of it. So I decided on this 3 frame crop, which I did in Lightroom after importing the complete 6 frame pano at full size into Lightroom. Actually, Toine, I have a question for you: a while back didn't you share a string method for aligning the camera when doing panos? I had saved that but I can't find it now. You wouldn't happen to have that information handy? Willing to share again? Please! :-) And to Dave Mann: I went to PTGui, and watched one of their tutorial videos, which was excellent. It helped me understand the process really well. If I start doing panos regularly, I just may purchase the software. So thanks for the heads up. And thanks to Rob, Paul, Jack and Dave B.!

Thanks, Christine! It is beautiful. Good beer, too! I agree about the composition. I wanted to get a tram moving against the background of the castle, and some pedestrians. Blurring the trolley required a 1/10 sec shutter speed, so I had to discard some shots because of my contributions to motion blur.

I'm glad I got to ride the canals... the first canal section was closed for repairs and the weather wasn't looking good early in the morning, so I thought I may have to use my backup plan. That was to spend 2 hours doing laps along the side road that goes to Lake Alexandrina, so if the weather did go bad I wouldn't be too far out. But the dark clouds dissipated and it warmed up a little so I went ahead with plan A. Don't much like climbing. Only do it so I can get to the descent. :-) I love climbing. One of my favourite routes here has about 1,000 metres worth spread across two largish climbs and some rolling hills. I should take some photos next time I do it as the views are pretty good. But I also feel privileged that our city was built on flat land which makes for easy commuting. It's nice to be able to choose my terrain for a ride. Very nice photos. Really does look like a lovely ride. Thanks... I'd have liked to stop on the highway a couple of times as that was pretty scenic as well. We were a couple of weeks too early to catch the lupins at their best, but what was there was very nice. I must get around to processing the rest of my photos from the trip. Don't think I mentioned that I punctured at the halfway point just as I was leaving to go back.

Re: Question to those who have their web site hosted by GoDaddy
Boris, I suspect you are aware of everything what I've written below.. But I am surprised why you asked, so, maybe there is something new for you in this. I didn't have experience with GoDaddy's hosting per se, but I see your options as follows: 1. Use one of the existing dedicated photo-hosting services, such as Flickr, Smugmug, 500px.com, ... (BTW, 500px has a cyber monday special right now: https://500px.com/upgrade ) Personally, I would probably choose 500px, not sure at which paid level - depending on what is needed. The reason for that is that I just don't like flickr's own interface. Cons: If you read ToS for all such photo-hosting services cafefully, you'll find that you are giving them the rights to use your photos as they like (non-exclusive license to publish, ditribute and use the content). While it is clear that they need it to be able to display your photos that you choose to make public, by this clause you grant them much more. Some photographers are not comfortable with that. Besides, the photo-hosting can take your photos hostage (as it has been done recently by fotki.com) 2. Use a web-hosting/co-location/... (depending on the level desired) and upload your own static galleries like those created in LR, JAlbum, etc. (e.g. as Brian Walters does it for PUG). Pro: You own everything and have full access. Cons: Galleries are static. You have to regenerate/reupload them if you need to change something. You cannot have one photo appearing in several sets (without duplicated copy - for each set). I am currently using this route (when I have time to upload photos.. ooh) 3. Advanced webhosting/co-location VM/server/... ..with a Content Management software that essentially duplicates the photo-hosting websites. I don't know if such software exists (at the level comparable to that of Flickr, not just primitive homegrown javascript/php/... scripts). If you find such software, please let me know.

WTB 300mm reflex (mirror) lens
Hi all, I've been doing a project with the 400-600 reflex zoom that makes use of it's infamous donut bokeh. I'd like to get a little closer to my subjects and the shortest mirror lens that I can find for M42 or K-mount is a 300mm. It looks like a few different manufacturers made one and I'm not fussed which one. As far as I know nobody sells them new (Tokina has one, but only for M4/3 which is no help) so I thought I would sing out and see if anyone has one they'd like to part with. regards, Paul Ewins Melbourne, Australia -- 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.
