KonicaMinolta 7D first week testing : Camera design is superior. Very convinient for user. Many external buttons are allowing to change almost any setting with a second. Also Anti Shake of camera body is working very effectivelly, and I was able to get terrific results even at 300mm focal lenth without tripod in dim lighting (look at images N10,11 and 12). Every image uploaded is original, with EXIF data visible for you. Older 3500xi external flash doesn't work properly with this body. Overexposed images in this album are showing it. Most cheap lens that I had in my backpak - Quantaray 28-90mm f/3.5- 5.6 is not working with this camera. Body simply dosn't see it. Giving "No Lens Attached" error.. :) However AF Macro tubes are working fine!!!! Hurrah! I didn’t use RAW here and not “extra fine JPG”. All portraits with handheld camera, higher ISO, without flash (I don’t like any flash). Kayakers made with 70-300mm Sigma DL but with AntiShake enabled. Macros of flowers made with Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens and Kenko extension tubes. Night sky shots with Minolta 50mm f/1.7 and Sigma 24mm f/2.8. Sigma 24 f/2.8 for city/ HWY long exposures. Look at exif data of each image(under each image – mode details). Some shots are blue or yellowish because I played with WB- Kelvin to start feeling what it does. Also, to see full size image click on “Original”

For my dad, Izold Pustylnik И.Б.Пустыльник , Изольд Бенционович Пустыльник : *********************************************************************************************************** I: Dad, why we are not following rules written in Old Testament? He: Why should I live as was written 5000+ years ago, if after this time civilization created so many great things? ************************************************************************************************************ He: Intresting, from population of 6 billions living in World, only 10,000 are pushing progress by leading scientific research. *********************************************************************************************************** He: For adult man the is no such thing as age… (Don’t use it as an excuse) *********************************************************************************************************** He: It was language and communication skills that made our ancestors become humans. Transition was incredibly rapid. *********************************************************************************************************** This album is dedicated for my father who passed away on 05/02/08. Izold Pustylnik was a very intellectual person, and a good father. He was born in pre-WWII Odessa, USSR, in 1938. During difficult years of war he and his mom were evacuated to the Caspian Sea area. They had to move to new destinations every couple months to escape from Nazis. After the war their returned to hometown to find out they had no place to live. However, life went on. Izold finished high school in 1954 with silver medal. In 1960 he graduated cum laude from Odessa University as an astronomer. In 1962 Izold started working at Tyravere Observatory, where he had been working till his last day. He had more than 200 scientific publications in astrophysics and astronomy. Please visit his homepage: http://www.aai.ee/~izold/index1.html Dear all, photos from this album can be copied, published and re/used, but only with reference to author and IzoldPustylnik Stan -------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN MEMORIAM IZOLD PUSTYLNIK И.Б.Пустыльник, Изольд Бенционович Пустыльник (17 March 1938 – 2 May 2008) Izold Pustylnik, eminent astronomer and senior research associate at the Tartu Observatory, died on the early morning of May 2, 2008. Izold Pustylnik was born on March 17, 1938 in the family of millers in Odessa, Ukraine. There he graduated from the secondary school with high grades and cum laude from Odessa University. In 1962 he applied for a postgraduate position at the Institute of Physics and Astronomy, Academy of Sciences of the then Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic. Remarkably, only three months after starting his postgraduate studies, Pustylnik delivered his first academic seminar paper at the institute in the Estonian language. His skills in acquiring new languages were impressive: in the institute’s personnel records from 1992 Pustylnik has rated his command of Russian, Estonian, English and Polish as excellent, and Ukrainian, German and French as languages he could read and translate, and Hungarian as the language he commanded at conversational level. After his post-graduation studies, Pustylnik defended Candidate of Science degree at the University of Tartu in 1958 and DSC at St Petersburg State University in 1994. During the entire time he worked at the Tartu Observatory, Pustylnik researched close binary systems, because these stars, orbiting very close to each other around a common centre of mass, help us learn more about stars than can be done by studying single stars. He even defined a new stellar category – gas-eclipsed close binaries, which are binaries orbiting around each other in the common gas envelope. Though mainly a theoretician, Pustylnik was actively and over a long period in his earlier academic career also involved in observing binary systems. In recent years Pustylnik took interest in famous astronomers and has published, together with Vitalii Bronshten, a monograph on Ernst Julius Öpik, one of the leading Estonian astronomers. Pustylnik also wrote about Stanislavs Vasilevskii, the Latvian astronomer whose talent remained hidden in the tumult of the 20th century, and investigated thoroughly the life and work of http://www.folklore.ee/folklore/vol40/inmemoriam.pdf 148 www.folklore.ee/folklore In memoriam Erich Schoenberg, the Estonian astronomer who worked at the Tartu Old Observatory. Pustylnik’s interests were not limited to the life and work of famous astronomers; he also attempted to draw parallels between the views of ancient astronomers and contemporary thought. At the 2002 Tallinn conference celebrating the passing of 150 years from the measuring of long meridian arc from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea, which is now known as the Struve Geodetic Arc and which is included into the UNESCO World Heritage List, Izold Pustylnik analysed Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve’s geodetic and astronomical measuring in the light of contemporary astronomical understanding. In the mid-1970s, during the surge of national awakening in Estonia, astronomer Heino Eelsalu began to trace Estonian national identity, almost lost by then, and focused on the interpretation of various myths and archaeological objects from astronomical viewpoint, laying thus a solid foundation for the field of archaeoastronomy in Estonia. For many younger colleagues this opened a new window to the world, and Eelsalu’s enthusiasm fired many, Pustylnik among others. He was an active member of SEAC (European Society for Astronomy in Culture) over many years, and had established contacts with scholars of archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy in the entire Europe. He became one of the main organisers of the 2002 International Conference of SEAC, which was held in Tartu, Estonia. At the conference he also delivered a weighty paper ‘Does modern astrophysics widen the horizons of archaeoastronomy?’ (published in SEAC Proceedings, 2002). Pustylnik’s fine language skills allowed him to cooperate with astronomers of many countries of the world. His active lifestyle made him noticed and elected in the boards of international organisations. For instance, Pustylnik was the member of the Euro-Asian Astronomical Society virtually since the establishment of the society. Pustylnik was also one of the main instigators of Euroscience Estonia. By a cruel irony, Pustylnik was gone by the opening of the 2008 international seminar which he had summoned. The seminar was dedicated to the astronomer Ernst Christoph Friedrich Knorre who worked in Tartu before Struve’s era. Izold Pustylnik will be deeply missed by the people of the Tartu Observatory. He was a fine colleague and interlocutor on scientific issues and life in general. Tõnu Viik
