heres pic of me that Andrea took, I have my Eos-Elan II in my right hand and my medium format in my left, I'm using the elan to meter the shot then I switch to the med format to take a photo. She must have my Eos-Elan I to take this shot.

heh - that's basically what I did with the F today; used my DSLR to check the exposure at ISO 400 and transferred it to the F as a starting point :- )

Did someone say Bryce?
Pano with iPhone...

Thanks for posting those.
I have to dig out my Bryce photos -- or even better, my father's Bryce photos, taken in the early 1950s on Kodachrome (with an Argus "Brick")... they're all analog, though.
It is a beautiful, beautiful place... -
I only wish I was a better photographer, with a better camera (we do have a nice little Pentax DSLR, but I always resort to auto modes!!).
We hit Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, and a couple other sites this summer for a nice family vacation. While my family liked Zion the best, Bryce was my favorite. Absolutely beautiful. And, as a bonus, we were there for the astronomy festival - what an unpolluted (light pollution that is) view of the night sky! -
those are some nice shots, loved the pano (pretty cool).
I know how to use a camera and all about F-stops & shutter speed & film speed, and owned a lot of camera from 35mm to medium formats but I never had a artistic ability for taking good shots or composing good pictures. used to have a dark room for making color enlargements (color is easy but B&W isn't).2 ch- Polk CRS+ * Vincent SA-31MK Preamp * Vincent Sp-331 Amp * Marantz SA8005 SACD * Project Xperience Classic TT * Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge

I don't know about the Pentax, but the manual modes on the Nikon DSLRs are pretty straightforward. Indeed, one of them (called "A") is sort of pseudo-manual. It defaults to the "correct" exposure, but the photographer may independently alter the f-stop, the shutter speed, and/or deliberately under- or over- expose (relative to the default) in 0.3 stop increments! And one may select different metering modes (e.g., to compensate for a large expanse of sky or severe backlighting). I am sure that the Pentax has a similar feature, too.
Funny you mention the night sky at Bryce. I almost expressed the same sentiment in my earlier post! The most vivid and palpable night sky I've ever seen (even better than Alaska... although I've never been mid-ocean) was at Bryce. We sat on a bench on the rim of the canyon one night -- the sky looked like black velvet -- black as black, and the stars were icy pinpoints of bright blue-white light. It didn't look vast or distant -- it seemed somehow vast, and close. Just a stunning sight.
... not that that a clear, moonless sky is chopped livah here in New Hampsta, though...

Thanks Darryl! I was surprised at the detail in the pano shot. You could actually zoom in and see some pretty fine details in the hoodoos and the pine trees.those are some nice shots, loved the pano (pretty cool).
I've always loved taking pictures, but never invested the time to learn even the basics on our entry level Minolta SLR 20 years ago and our entry level Pentax K-x currently. I think the Pentax does have some pretty straight-forward manual modes. My wife actually took a VERY basic class a few months back, but we never really took the time to practice.mhardy6647 wrote: »I don't know about the Pentax, but the manual modes on the Nikon DSLRs are pretty straightforward.

The night sky at Bryce was a close second to Cat Island in the Bahamas. We honeymooned there in a cottage on the beach, and the week we were there was a new moon - Pitch black. Without a flashlight the first night walking back from dinner, the only way we navigated our way to our cottage was to walk along the edge of the water. We soon learned to turn our porch light on before we left for dinner. It was a 1/4 mile walk up the beach to the main house for dinner, and the walk 'home' was always in the dark. Great place (Fernandez Bay Village) if you like total solitude and a beautiful stretch of beach.mhardy6647 wrote: »Funny you mention the night sky at Bryce.

You've got some beautiful property there. Love your photos! Is that a satellite or plane in the upper right of your photo. Great shot of the Milky Way!mhardy6647 wrote: »... not that that a clear, moonless sky is chopped livah here in New Hampsta, though... -

I've never heard those but they look awesome. They are sold locally so I need to go put my ears on some, if just to say I've heard them.2 ch- Polk CRS+ * Vincent SA-31MK Preamp * Vincent Sp-331 Amp * Marantz SA8005 SACD * Project Xperience Classic TT * Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge

V3's indeed! I've always wanted a pair of Paradigm Studio's and they were too cheap to pass up, i'm really enjoying them so far. They image very well, are dead neutral and have a huge soundstage! They don't exactly blend in with the nice wall mounted flat screen but oh well.

I've admired the studio 100's(all versions) for years, have always heard wonderful reviews on them, they look gorgeous!
