Because they don't allow video I did not look into focus as often as I would if it were allowed. Also I used a monopod. But hey it is my first attempt. I converted it from MOV to AVI then to WMV then edited in Microsoft Movie maker. Ok here it is.

Spent last evening and this morning at the beach and today went to the Hoh rain forest.

Here are some shots from the area

However the interesting thing is there may be an EVIL camera coming from Pentax. If so, and it uses the existing K mount, it should instantly jump to 2nd or 1st in the EVIL market. They would easily have the largest selection of lenses. Pentax primes are already so small that there wouldn't be any need to make them smaller for the EVIL market.

Expect it to hit retailers in fall 2014 (this is Pentax we are talking about after all). ]]> Shop Talk Alvaro Lopez http://lashooters.org/showthread.php?t=2476 http://lashooters.org/showthread.php?t=2475&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:30:48 GMT The question: TECH SUPPORT Q.Is there a good rule of thumb for using lenshoods, are they even necessary?

TECH SUPPORT

Q.Is there a good rule of thumb for using lenshoods, are they even necessary?

A.You should use a lenshood whenever possible. By blocking light from striking the front of the lens directly, hoods help reduce flare, particularly the dreaded coma-type that puts those comet-tailed spots in your photos. They also keep the front element and filter ring from getting whacked, help prevent fingerprints, and shield the glass from raindrops. ]]> Shop Talk Rick http://lashooters.org/showthread.php?t=2475 http://lashooters.org/showthread.php?t=2474&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:19:00 GMT As usual the best of the best. http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=USRTR2HQYW#a=2 One running theme with most of the shots... As usual the best of the best.

One running theme with most of the shots is that shallow dof is in.
Some shots are very dramatic and sad though. Which leads me to think if we as humans ever get tired of killing each other.

Essentially, this is a festival celebrating Turkish culture. While not full of rides and games, the festival was full of dancing, music, costumes and smiles. Most those attending the festival seemed compelled to participated in the dancing ... everybody smiled and enjoyed the event.

For a change, I'm free on Sat and Sunday. ]]> Photo Ops Tom Yi http://lashooters.org/showthread.php?t=2472 http://lashooters.org/showthread.php?t=2471&goto=newpost Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:24:56 GMT OK. It's less than two weeks, so I'm starting a new thread and get some action going.

Tentative schedule is;

Date: September 12th, Sunday
Time: 9:30am to 12:30pm @ Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights
1:00pm to 3:00pm @ Yours truly's backyard for BBQ party
3:00pm to 5:00pm: Tom's post processing tutorial (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.) and tour of my home studio

Here are members who voted "yes" on the poll, but please let me know ASAP if you cannot make it. Please also let me know who is bringing what. I will take care of BBQ meat. Since I will be hosting, I might not be able to join for the group shoot at the temple. I will send out my address couple of days before.
