A classic image of one of Mauis most inspiring vistas! Well done. The ones going up sometimes present more of a hazard, as they are unexpected and are not lead and followed by vans. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 8:25 PM, Rick Womer

Re: Road trip storage

I used to carry lap top and external hard drive(s). No more. I shoot RAW on card 1, jpeg on card 2. I carry many 64gb cards, numbered, used in sequence to help keep track of blank vs. used. The jpeg files become my backup. Every day or two I download the jpegs to my iPad. Delete the bad ones,

The sensor in our DSLRs have a ratio of 2:3 Hi-res means the image can be printed at 300dpi. Size the images to 2400x3600 and they can print any size up to 8"x12". Lo-res images are displayed on a computer screen at 72dpi. I'd go 800x1200 just to make the math simple. On 12/13/2017 18:01,

Re: Second thoughts about Pentax

It could be a matter of in camera processing if you were shooting jpegs. Even when shooting RAW the default settings of your converter can Make a huge difference. The only fair comparison is between expert renderings of each. A half dozen years ago I was shooting for Harris Publications with a

Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

I would burn the images to a CD/DVD. Provide hi-res JPEG files they can print and lo-res copies in case they want to post them to Facebook or other social media. I would also include a text file on the disk with a copyright release granting them permission to print the images (save them a

Second thoughts about Pentax

At one time I would not have considered any equipment other than Pentax. A little over two years ago I bought a Fuji X-Q1 compact to take with me on a trip to Italy that was going to include a week on bicycles. I was impressed with the images I got with it. Also never would have considered a

Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

First: Is this for pay or as a gift? In either case, talk to them, show them the photographs, and ask if they'd like any. Presuming they say yes... - Make a set of JPEGs of the best ones for them. A reasonable size that they can put on their phones, essentially, something like 1600 pixels on

Eric, 1. I have a policy: I never give RAW files to anybody. (In the film era, I've never given negatives to anybody, with just one exception for a close friend of mine per a special agreement). I would only consider giving RAW files in very special cases. Several photographers that I know

Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

FWIW, suggest you provide jpegs in two versions - low res for use on phones and computer and high res suitable for printing and not provide the RAW files. -Original Message- >From: Eric Weir >Subject: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client" > > >My

I have done the downhill a few times over the last 30 years, and it is always a thrill, especially after a great sunrise on the summit. My first two trips were back when the NPS permitted the bike groups to start from the parking lot at the top about 10,000 ft asl. Now, they have to start

Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

Ken got it right. High quality hi-res jpegs are fine for making prints. Both low-res and hi-res should be in SRGB color space. Don’t release RAW files, even if someone requests them. The RAWs are your negatives, and public images should reflect your rendering. Paul > On Dec 13, 2017, at 12:39
