It could be partially aspect ratio, but in any case, I would crop just a bit somewhere to shift these. As the background in both images is not strongly contributing, any crop would probably work. Doing that much would help. As for each image - I prefer the water lilly. I think partly because the background competes less than in the crocus. Also, the lighting is more pleasing. In both cases, I would really look to blurring the background more - possibly a longer focal length and/or a more wide open shot to really get the background to not compete with the subject. Thanks, Bruce. I hadn’t imagined that centering would detract from the composition. I’ll have to experiment with croppings. I do understand that with shots like this blurring the background is desirable. I am learning, slowly, to check and double-check my settings to make sure they are appropriate to the situation and the shot. A couple things I’m not clear about. Regarding the images being too centered” you said, “It could be partially aspect ratio.” Do you mean a different aspect ratio even with a centered image could be more pleasing? And about blurring the background, I understand the effect of aperture on depth-of-field, but not focal length. -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net The invincible shield of caring Is a weapon sent from the sky against being dead. - Tao Te Ching 67 -- 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: External Hard Drives
Thanks, Igor - I looked into adding a USB 3 card and found that the only available slots on my PC are PCIe x1 - which I think is too slow to support USB 3.0.

There are more expensive cards with that have more than 2 ports, but those are (1) more expensive, and (2) they have some additional limitations due to the PCI-e. However, if you've got an empty PCI-e x4 (or x16) slot, I suspect you can buy something that is even better. Also, note that the card referenced above may not adequate power to power some mobile HDDs that are USB 3.0-powered (and require 0.9V). For those, you need a card with an additional power connector (from the power source or elsewhere).

Re: External Hard Drives
Mark, First of all, - just in case: there might be a confusion between the width of the bus in number of lanes (PCIe x1, x4, x16...) and the version of the PCIe (1.0a, 1.1, 2.0,..) See, e.g. this Wikipedia article that summarizes it nicely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express So, the Transcend card for $13 that I mentioned (see below) is suitable for PCIe (x1). I am not 100% which versions of PCIe (1.1, 2.0) it is compatible with, but as far as I can tell from the age of my Desktop, the PCIe in it is ver. 1.1, and that card is working. And what is more important, it gives a very substantial speed increase over USB 2.0 with the same external HDDs. You are right, the lane bandwidth in PCIe pre-v.2.0 is 2Gbit/s (250 MB/s), which is less than the theoretical maximum rate of USB 3.0, but I am yet to see any of the external USB 3.0 HDD to utilize the full bandwidth of the USB 3.0. I don't remember the numbers, - but in my configuration (that seems like what you might have), I was getting sustained rates in the vicinity of 100 MB/s (definitely above 80 MB/s), while I was happy if I'd get over 20 MB/s [sustained!] with USB 2.0 with the same drives. So, for the price of $13, it was worth it, don't you think? ;-) As I mentioned earlier, another limitation for PCIe x1 is the power. It only matters for the USB-powered HDDs. I don't remember numbers right now, but it is sufficient for at least one or even two USB drives. At least my USB-powered drives work just fine. And BTW, - about a month ago, I bought this USB 3.0 card reader (Yet another $13): http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Super-Multi-Card-Reader-TS-RDF8K/dp/B0056TYRMW/ Copying files from the SD cards speeded up 3-10 times, depending on the card. Actually, im my testing, the sustained rate went 50-100% up even if this reader is used with a USB 2.0 port, as my highest sustained rate with USB 2.0 reader was at about 13-15 MB/s, and with this reader and USB 2.0 port, it is around 20 MB/s. With a USB-3.0, I am getting the sustained rate of 32-33 MB/s on my laptop, where, I suspect it might be limited by its USB 3.0 card.

Re: External Hard Drives
Thanks, Igor - I guess I misunderstood what I read about PCIe x1. I had the impression that adding a USB 3 card would be futile. I'll give the add on card a try - some of the 2TB drives I will be using in the send copy of the backup at USB 2 so they won't benefit from the speed up, but the newer / larger 3 TB drives will. Mark On 10/29/2014 11:21 AM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Mark, First of all, - just in case: there might be a confusion between the width of the bus in number of lanes (PCIe x1, x4, x16...) and the version of the PCIe (1.0a, 1.1, 2.0,..) See, e.g. this Wikipedia article that summarizes it nicely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express So, the Transcend card for $13 that I mentioned (see below) is suitable for PCIe (x1). I am not 100% which versions of PCIe (1.1, 2.0) it is compatible with, but as far as I can tell from the age of my Desktop, the PCIe in it is ver. 1.1, and that card is working. And what is more important, it gives a very substantial speed increase over USB 2.0 with the same external HDDs. You are right, the lane bandwidth in PCIe pre-v.2.0 is 2Gbit/s (250 MB/s), which is less than the theoretical maximum rate of USB 3.0, but I am yet to see any of the external USB 3.0 HDD to utilize the full bandwidth of the USB 3.0. I don't remember the numbers, - but in my configuration (that seems like what you might have), I was getting sustained rates in the vicinity of 100 MB/s (definitely above 80 MB/s), while I was happy if I'd get over 20 MB/s [sustained!] with USB 2.0 with the same drives. So, for the price of $13, it was worth it, don't you think? ;-) As I mentioned earlier, another limitation for PCIe x1 is the power. It only matters for the USB-powered HDDs. I don't remember numbers right now, but it is sufficient for at least one or even two USB drives. At least my USB-powered drives work just fine. And BTW, - about a month ago, I bought this USB 3.0 card reader (Yet another $13): http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Super-Multi-Card-Reader-TS-RDF8K/dp/B0056TYRMW/ Copying files from the SD cards speeded up 3-10 times, depending on the card. Actually, im my testing, the sustained rate went 50-100% up even if this reader is used with a USB 2.0 port, as my highest sustained rate with USB 2.0 reader was at about 13-15 MB/s, and with this reader and USB 2.0 port, it is around 20 MB/s. With a USB-3.0, I am getting the sustained rate of 32-33 MB/s on my laptop, where, I suspect it might be limited by its USB 3.0 card.

Re: Two images from a recent visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden
I like these final versions a lot. The final version of the water lily in particular is very painterly. Something about the water on the leaf was distracting to me in the earlier versions, but this one looks great. The vegetable headed people further back in your flickr stream are pretty interesting as well!

OT - Ebook in support of Breast Cancer Research
G'day all Mark Goyen is good friend of my brother-in-law and is a wonderful photographer. He's travelled widely over the past decade photographing in virtually every part of the globe. He's just published an ebook featuring images from his travels, with all proceeds going to help breast cancer research in the USA and Australia. The ebook is called 'Ten: Ten Years of Digital Photography' and is dedicated to Jenny Lloyd, Mark's long time head nurse at the Alia Clinic, who passed from breast cancer 10 years ago. The photography is inspiring. The cost of the ebook is $US4.95 and is available from: http://www.markgoyen.com/ten/ -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- 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: BLYDE CANYON PHOTOGRAPHER
Thanks Igor, Mark, Dan Larry. Larry, K7 with DA 18-55 @ 18mm ISO 400 1/1500sec. Shot RAW. I probably should have shot at ISO 100 because the K7 sensor is quite noisy above ISO 200 but It was actually quite dark with heavy cloud overhead. I have some other images without the tourists fence so I'll see if I can render them a bit better. One day I'll get there when the sun is shining!

I like how you made the tourist the subject but still provide a very enjoyable view of the canyon. I agree, the framing, composition and view are all excellent. On my monitor the color balance is very red, the saturation is very high and it is quite noisy. Was this several stops under exposed so that the clouds wouldn't blow out?
