You guys need to watch the copyright zone video on the B&H channel:
As this incident is taking place in the US these would be the laws and interpretations to be considered.
No, the incident took place and played out in the UK, the family, victim and photographer, as well as the MOD are all in the UK.
I'm waiting for a trusted source to post some raw results in low incandescent light. High ISO shots always look fairly good in bright light, its the low light shots that interest me. So far, its about what I expected, ISO 6400 is usable with NR.
Minus the "trusted source," here are a few high iso shots under street lights.
f/4: ISO6400@1/30, ISO8000@1/40, ISO12800@1/60.
Attached is ISO12800. The noise looks really fine and peppery. I would probably clean up easily, but I wouldn't even bother.
I suspect that the data presented in "raw files" is more likely to be "half-baked" and that raw sensor values are never seen by the user.
Interesting answers, all.
CanonPriceWatch only shows the T6S at retail pricing. But its got other good info. I'll keep it handy. Thanks!
I'm seeing the T6S at some retailers for $649 to $699 (body only). That's discounted, but still high enough to be legit, I think. I'll call them and report back
Here's one example...
Patent Publication No. 2015-138121
Example 1
Canon patents
+1, The Nikkor 80-400mm G is no match for the EF 100-400mm-II. Even with a higher-res 24MP APS-C sensor and no-AA filter it is unable to resolve as much detail as the Canon lens with a comparable 20MP Canon APS-C body. Then taking into account the 1.6x vs 1.5x crop factor as well, and the Canon ends up having a huge practical advantage in reach-limited scenarios. The Nikon lens is literally and figuratively a couple of steps behind the capability of the 100-400mm lens.
I upgraded my laptop today, which I wanted to format and clean install anyway again. So I did, worked like a charm. Then I upgraded my desktop, which was a fresh 8.1 install just some weeks ago, and also everything works fine here. Not having any issues. Only thing I did right away was install the classic start menu again, using Start10 by Stardock. I had Start8 before since Windows 8 and I was satisfied so I got Start10 immediately today.
Now it's just like ever and runs smoothly on both my computers.

Paul Walker death: Vin Diesel leads tributes to Fast and Furious star
Fans and fellow actors have honoured Walker following his death
Jess Denham
Jess Denham reports on Arts + Entertainment for The Independent website
Monday 02 December 2013
Tributes have flooded in for Fast and Furious actor Paul Walker, who died on Saturday afternoon in a Los Angeles car crash.
Friends, actors and hordes of fans took to social media to express their shock and sadness, following the popular 40-year-old's untimely death.
Fellow Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel posted a series of pictures on Twitter and Instagram of himself with his "brother" Walker, along with messages speaking of his grief.
"Brother, I will miss you very much. Heaven has gained a new angel," he wrote. "My brother and I, we aimed for the stars together. I feel honoured and blessed to of known such a wonderful guy. Rest in peace."
Vin Diesel posted this photo of himself with Paul Walker on Instagram after hearing about his co-star's tragic death Walker's co-star Jordana Brewster honoured the actor's "pure light" and told of her disbelief that he had gone, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sent "all [his] strength, love and faith to the Walker family during this heartbreaking time" and close friend Tyrese Gibson was pictured crying at the scene before laying a single yellow rose.
Walker's only daughter, 15-year old Meadow Walker, posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram. "I'm having such a hard accepting the fact that he's never going to kiss me or hold me or watch me grown up," she wrote. "Lord please stop I can't take it anymore I just want my daddy back."
Director Rob Cohen described Walker and Diesel as "the perfect duo" for the Fast and Furious series after he cast him as undercover officer Brian O'Connor in the first film. Cohen paid tribute to the actor's "American beauty, his athleticism, the directness of his approach to the character, his effusive, down-to-earth personality [which] brought joy to everyone around him".
Universal Pictures spoke of the "devastating loss" to Walker's family, the film industry and "countless fans". "Paul was truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 14 years," a spokesperson said.
Rapper Ludacris posted a photo of a Fast and Furious scene in which the cast hold hands around a dinner table with the words "Thankful for the Fast Family", writing under the picture that Walker's "always left a mark" with his presence.
Your humble spirit was felt from the start, wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark,… http://t.co/nUiPPIU9Bb— Ludacris (@Ludacris) December 1, 2013
Among the thousands of tributes pouring in was a message from actress Jessica Alba, who starred alongside Walker in the 2005 action film Into the Blue. She described him on Twitter as "a lovely person – so sweet and grounded".
Fans began tweeting their condolences as the news spread, with many posting a poignant line they have attributed to Walker: "If speed one day kills me, do not cry because I was smiling". It is thought that speed was a factor in the fatal accident, according to reports from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
You wonder why we care so much about Paul Walker. @LarryUlibarri said it best.. He was our James Dean #RIPPaulWalker pic.twitter.com/ZrcfVrSYBS—I Andrew K. (@COSportsNut) December 2, 2013
People have laid flowers and Fast and Furious memorabilia at the scene of the crash, with others picking up scraps from the area where the car burned to make their own memorials for Walker. A message written on the pavement near the site reads "Race in Paradise".
Tributes laid at the scene of the car crash in which actor Paul Walker died Filming for the seventh Fast and Furious movie had started when a Porsche driven by a friend of Walker's hit a lamp post and a tree while en route to a charity event. Both Walker and former racing car driver Roger Rodas, 38, were pronounced dead at the scene after their car burst into flames.
A statement on the actor's Facebook page read: "It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organisation Reach Out Worldwide.
"He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news."
Walker's other acting credits included roles in Flags of Our Fathers, Eight Below, 90s romcom She's All That and forthcoming films Brick Mansions and Hours.

New Mobile App Connects Duchenne Families to Clinical Trials
I have been privileged to know Pat Furlong for the past several years and work alongside her on the board of the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). In 1984, doctors diagnosed her two sons, Christopher and Patrick, with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Duchenne), a fatal genetic disorder that slowly robs young men of their muscle strength. Pat didn't accept the doctor's advice that "there's no hope and little help." Instead, she immersed herself in Duchenne, working to understand the pathology of the disorder, the extent of research investment, and the mechanisms for optimal care. Her sons lost their battle with Duchenne in their teenage years, but she continues to fight—in their honor and for all families affected by Duchenne.
In 1994, Pat, together with other parents of young men with Duchenne, founded Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) to change the course of Duchenne and, ultimately, to find a cure. PPMD is the largest non-profit organization in the United States solely focused on Duchenne. Today, Pat continues to lead the organization and is considered one of the foremost authorities on Duchenne in the world.
Duchenne Central
I give this background to explain why the team at Siren Interactive was so happy to collaborate with PPMD on a mobile app titled Duchenne Central. The app, which is now available for free download for Apple and Android devices, is an easy-to-use and on-the-go tool to locate clinical trials and clinics and view and share the latest Duchenne news.
"Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatments for Duchenne; however, there are several potential therapies in development and currently in clinical trials," says Pat. "It's essential that patients and their families have ongoing access to information on the latest clinical trials. We're proud to bring this new resource to the Duchenne community."
Especially for rare disorders, enrolling enough patients in a clinical trial can be challenging. With the explosive growth of mobile devices, people are using their smartphones to access information 24/7 whenever and wherever they need it. This app will make it easier for Duchenne families to find the right resources. We're pleased to help provide the app to the Duchenne community and to be able to support the amazing work of PPMD.

Documents show bitter CIA dispute over pre-9/11 performance
By Warren Strobel WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top CIA officials fought bitterly in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks over whether U.S. intelligence agencies could have done more to stop the deadliest terrorist strikes in American history, documents released on Friday show. The once-secret documents include a more complete version of a 2005 report by the spy agency's inspector general, which found that the CIA did not have a comprehensive strategy or marshal adequate resources to combat al Qaeda before hijacked planes hit New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11. At stake in the years-long dispute are the legacies of former top CIA officials and the agency itself.

Female prison worker supplied tools to New York escapees: CNN
A female prison worker "provided some form of equipment or tools" to two escapees from an upstate New York correctional center whom authorities are hunting for a seventh day, Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie told CNN on Friday. Joyce Mitchell, an industrial training supervisor in the tailor shop at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, was being questioned about her possible role in the prison break of convicted killers Richard Matt, 48 and David Sweat 34, authorities said. "There is information as far as the contraband that (Joyce Mitchell) did provide to both Matt and Sweat," Wylie told CNN.
Manhunt for two New York prison escapees focuses on nearby woods
Hundreds of law enforcement agents hunting for two upstate New York prison escapees focused their search on Thursday on a heavily wooded area just a few miles from the maximum security facility where they broke out last week, police said. Convicted murderers Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, escaped from the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York through underground pipes and a manhole. More than 500 law enforcement officers, along with sniffer dogs and aviation units, were involved in the manhunt, along with the FBI and other agencies, New York State Police said.

Some of life's activities are not for solo players – board games, charades and team sports are examples. At other times, we're on our own: Think running on a treadmill, completing a crossword puzzle or playing solitaire. The same is true of health insurance coverage. Sometimes it's smart for employers to make group insurance available to workers, but at other times it's best for them to provide individual coverage options.
How do employers know whether to make group or individual voluntary products available to their workers? There are many factors to consider, ranging from employee ages to health histories and other demographics.
As open enrollment approaches, your company should be looking for ways to enhance its appeal to workers by building a better benefits plan. Of course, you'll want to talk to a benefits expert about your options, but you can also get the basics on group and individual insurance in this handy guide. … Read more >

Rossini Opera Festival, Pesaro 2012
Ciro in Babilonia Matilda di Shaban and Il signor Bruschino in Rossini land.
It might seem churlish to complain about the BBC Proms coverage of Pierre Boulez's 90th anniversary. After all, there are a few performances dotted around — although some seem rather oddly programmed, as if embarrassed at the presence of new or newish music. (That could certainly not be claimed in the present case.)
I recently spent four days in St. Petersburg, timed to coincide with the annual Stars of the White Nights Festival. Yet the most memorable singing I heard was neither at the Mariinsky Theater nor any other performance hall. It was in the small, nearly empty church built for the last Tsar, Nicholas II, at Tsarskoye Selo.
As I walked up Exhibition Road on my way to the Royal Albert Hall, I passed a busking tuba player whose fairground ditties were enlivened by bursts of flame which shot skyward from the bell of his instrument, to the amusement and bemusement of a rapidly gathering pavement audience.
A brilliant theatrical event, bringing Handel's theatre of the mind to life on stage
'Here, thanks be to God, my opera is praised to the skies and there is nothing in it which does not please greatly.' So wrote Antonio Vivaldi to Marchese Guido Bentivoglio d'Aragona in Ferrara in 1737.
Asphyxiations, atrophy by poison, assassination: in Italo Montemezzi's L'amore dei tre Re (The Love of the Three Kings, 1913) foul deed follows foul deed until the corpses are piled high.
The precision of attack in the opening to Beethoven's Creatures of Prometheus Overture signalled thoroughgoing excellence in the contribution of the CBSO to this concert.
When he was skilfully negotiating the not inconsiderable complexities, upheavals and strife of musical and religious life at the English royal court during the Reformation, Thomas Tallis (c.1505-85) could hardly have imagined that more than 450 years later people would be queuing round the block for the opportunity spend their lunch-hour listening to the music that he composed in service of his God and his monarch.
Two of the important late twentieth century stage directors, Robert Carsen and Peter Sellars, returned to the Aix Festival this summer. Carsen's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a masterpiece, Sellars' strange Tchaikovsky/Stravinsky double bill is simply bizarre.
The annual celebration of young talent at the Royal Opera House is a magnificent showcase, and it was good to see such a healthy audience turnout.
There are few operas that can rival the visceral impact of a well-staged Jenůfa and Des Moines Metro Opera has emphatically delivered the goods.
The Girl of the Golden West (La Fanciulla del West) often gets eclipsed when compared to the rest of the mature Puccini canon.
First Night of the BBC Proms 2015 with Sakari Oramo in exuberant form, pulling off William Walton's Belshazzar's Feast with the theatrical flair it deserves.
With its revelatory production of Rappaccini's Daughter performed outdoors in the city's refurbished Botanical Gardens, Des Moines Metro Opera has unlocked the gate to a mysterious, challenging landscape of musical delights.
Des Moines Metro Opera has quite a crowd-pleasing production of The Abduction from the Seraglio on its hands.
Even by Shakespeare's standards A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of his earlier plays, boasts a particularly fantastical plot involving a bunch of aristocrats (the Athenian Court of Theseus), feuding gods and goddesses (Oberon and Titania), 'Rude Mechanicals' (Bottom, Quince et al) and assorted faeries and spirits (such as Puck).
What do we call Tristan und Isolde? That may seem a silly question. Tristan und Isolde, surely, and Tristan for short, although already we come to the exquisite difficulty, as Tristan and Isolde themselves partly seem (though do they only seem?) to recognise of that celebrated 'und'.
So this was it, the Pelléas which had apparently repelled critics and other members of the audience on the opening night. Perhaps that had been exaggeration; I avoided reading anything substantive — and still have yet to do so.
I had last seen Arabella as part of the Munich Opera Festival's Richard Strauss Week in 2008. It is not, I am afraid, my favourite Strauss opera; in fact, it is probably my least favourite. However, I am always willing to be convinced.
Some time ago in San Francisco there was an Aida starring Luciano Pavarotti, now in Orange it was Carmen starring Jonas Kaufmann. No, not tenors in drag just great tenors whose names simply outshine the title roles.
Ciro in Babilonia Matilda di Shaban and Il signor Bruschino in Rossini land.
A couple of years ago the Rossini Festival staged the very first Rossini opera, Dimitrio e Polibio. It is on a serious subject (a father finds his long lost son and reconciles with an old enemy as well). Rossini was 15 years old. It was five years later that he discovered his comic muse with L'equivoco stravagante, followed the very next year (1812) by four more comedies, plus what the Festival considers his first opera seria, Ciro in Babilonia (forgetting that Dimitrio e Polibio is an opera seria). The rest is history.
The Festival had entrusted the staging of Dimitrio e Polibio to Italian director Davide Livermore who gave us enough lazzi (little visual tricks) to amuse ourselves mightily and make the opera itself as incidental to the evening's entertainment as it is to the Rossini oeuvre. Ciro in Babilonia ossia La caduta di Baldassare is pretty thin material as well. It was another opportunity for Mr. Livermore!
Though thrust between Rossini and Mr. Livermore (lee-vehr-more-aye, no accent one assumes) was former enfant terrible New York Times music critic Will Crutchfield, now a conductor and coach of bel canto at the Caramoor Center for the Arts (64 kms north of New York City). Conductor Crutchfield is a strange mixture of erudition, musicality, and limited musical charisma who seems possessed by the operatic ideal of collaboration.
Meanwhile there was some singing too, most notably by 62 year-old Polish contralto Ewa Podles as lovesick Ciro. At this point in her career Mme. Podles is most often reverentially cast as a celebrated singer in a character role (the evil aunt in San Francisco's Suor Angelica as example). The surprise is that Mme. Podles can still do a coloratura trouser role with plenty of voice and dazzling aplomb. Rossini's Ciro is however a decidedly pale character to host such force of voice and personality.
Mme. Podles did indeed make this unlucky Persian king (he lost a battle plus his wife to Belshazzar) into a character well beyond the possible imaginings of Rossini. This only succeeded in rendering Australian soprano Jessica Pratt less convincing as the Rossini heroine Amira, his Rossini imagined femme fatale wife. Mlle. Pratt possibly could have approached the vocal ideal of such a creature as she is a fine Rossini singer, popping off interpolated stratospheric notes in shimmering coloratura.
Baldassare, the lovesick ruler of Babilonia (yes, like Handel's Xerxes) loses in the end. Ciro wins a battle and gets his wife back and everyone lives happily ever after, though of course all this is pure fantasy. Baldassare too, Missouri born tenor Michael Spires, was no match for Ciro. He cut a good figure, his very long lament Qual crudel, qual trista sorte made a case for the greatness of the Rossini-to-come, and earned him a real ovation (real ovations are long and loud in Pesaro).
Mr. Livermore took on Rossini's opera seriaand cleverly did away with it knowing that we would find its superimposition onto a silent film epic imitation more amusing. Surely we did (though an opera seria every once in a while does hit the spot). That its transformation was thorough is beyond question, including the suppression of supertitles so we could not know really what was being said or thought (these singers did not project the Italian text as did, for example, the singers in Mathilda di Shabran to a remarkable degree). So it was opera without words, though we all know opera has words, and some of us, probably many of us ached for real opera.
Mr. Livermore made constant reference to the silent film era with video techniques effected by Torino's D-Wok (an enterprise that offers "multi-sensory creativity recipes"). These effects were brilliantly and sensitively used to goose up Rossini's incipient greatness, like the moving background film images slipping into judder for the serious moments in the Ciro/Amira recognition duet, plus the scratches on the film (thin streaks of light) increasing in intensity and frequency as Rossini's music intensified at the opera's conclusion. Not to ignore the close-up shots of melodramatic faces in sepia tinted frames, and (whew!) the absolutely stunning early film-art epic costumes designed by Gianluca Falaschi.
Scene from Il signor Bruschino
Mr. Livermore was a singer before he became one of Italy's most gifted and interesting stage directors. Well aware of the needs of singers he and his designer Nicolas Bovey provided a moving platform stage layout that propelled the singers to positions of direct communication with the conductor (and therefore the audience) for the big arias. In fact Mo. Crutchflield seemed more interested in his singers than in the fine orchestra of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna even though a splendid violin solo rang out in forceful melodramatic pathos with Mlle. Pratt's Deh, per me non v'affliggete (don't beat yourself up on my account).
Davide Livermore's production was smart indeed, too smart for what Rossini had to say.
Well, enough with opera seria, let's get back to comedy. The very next year, a big one, Rossini first dashed of a one-act farce, Il signor Bruschino before composing his first great tragedy, Tancredi, and his first great comedy, L'italiana in Algeri. The Festival entrusted the staging of this incidental farce to Teatro Sotterraneo, a Florentine group comprised of dancers, actors, performance artists, singers, etc., who collectively create and perform theater.
At first the suspicion was that this was in fact the case, that the stage manager, his assistant, the dresser, etc., who rushed about the stage doing schtick before, during and after the overture were Teatro Sotterraneo, that a couple of old guys (Bruschino and Gaudenzio as we later learned) putting on strange costumes and sort of coxcomb like plastic wigs were Teatro Sotterraneo, and that Florville and Sofia who sang about their problems were Teatro Sotterraneo actors and not really Rossini singers.
The sets and costumes, the issue of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino which was part of this opera-by-committee committee, were a crossroads somewhere, maybe Pesaro, or in the unlikely case that you (and the far more likely case that these talented kids) had been to a Disneyland in Anaheim, Tokyo, Orlando or Paris in the recent past, maybe a theme park somewhere. Probably it was just the Lungomare in Pesaro — in fact there was even a sign announcing that we were in Rossiniland with arrows pointing to La Gazza Ladra and other such attractions.
What would Disneyland/Rossiniland be without you and me to wonder and marvel at what we found there? So what looked like the youth cult that surely must be Teatro Sotterraneo, plus a few more seasoned tourists like us, timidly interfaced with Bruschino, Florville and Filiberto there in Rossiniland (the Cinderella, Daffy and Donald Ducks, etc., of Disneyland). That is when we were not distracted by a sudden parade chasing after William Tell (yes, Rossini's late, great opera was quoted).
So it was a farce within a farce, one dumbly brilliant farce, make that brilliantly dumb farce within another. A stroke of genius. Anything went to sabotage the integrity of one of Rossini's lesser efforts, efforts that in fact gave it the vibrantly casual artistic life it deserves.
With due respect to the singers, they were appropriately neither Teatro Sotterraneo nor were they the cast you would dream of for a Pesaro Italiana or Tancredi. They were wonderful singing actors who brought Rossini's farce alive in high art that was well beyond mere opera. Roberto de Candia and Carlo Lepore supplied experience and savoir faire as Bruschino and Gaudenzio, Andrea Vicenzo Bonsignore as the innkeeper Filiberto, David Alegret as Florville the young lover, and Maria Aleida with her amazingly high notes as Sofia the ingenue supplied the promise. Young Italian conductor Daniele Rustioni was a lively participant in the proceedings as were members of the Orchestra Sinfonica G. Rossini.
Much magnificence was added to the Rossini oeuvre over the next ten years, like all of the more recognizable Rossini titles (the operas in French were still to come), including Matilde di Shabran ossia Bellezza e cuor di ferro in 1821, a very strange piece. Like Handel's Xerxes it is either a tragedy or a comedy, and in the best of all possible worlds it is both.
It was a revival of a 2004 production erected in the limited stage housing of the 600 or so seat Teatro Rossini that made its way to Covent Garden in 2008 where the two concentric floor to rafters circular staircases, the sum total of its scenery, were presumably resized to a considerably larger dimension. Back now in Pesaro at the Adriatic Arena in this (or yet another) enlarged version it did not come close to making the startling scenic impressions that have marked Adriatic Arena productions in recent years (like Mose in Egitto, Zelmira, and Ermione).
However it did have Juan Diego Flórez and that seemed enough to bring the audience to an a priori delirium. The twenty-three year-old Juan Diego made his Pesaro debut in the role of Corradino the Iron Hearted back in 1996, in a resurrection of Matilde di Shabran after 175 years of oblivion. Needless to say it was Mr. Flórez who sang it in London at age 35, and may it suffice to say that the role still belongs to him alone at age 39. Possibly this is because he may be the only one who can sing it. Or maybe wants to.
Scene from Matilda di Shabran
Corradino the Iron Hearted has a lot to sing about. The peace and quiet (save for an occasional battle) of his chateau has been disturbed by the arrival of two women who are chasing him. He hates women. So there are a lot of high "C"'s and more than a few elaborate rages. Corradino is head-strong and not too smart (well, he is a tenor). Though of course Juan Diego is nothing if not smart, and very famous for his high "C"'s. This combination of character and singer is exploited to perfection by Mr. Flórez in minimal moves and maximal voice and musicianship.
This is mature Rossini who masterfully constructs huge ensembles, a quintet in the first act bringing iron hearted Juan Diego together with German formed Russian soprano Olga Peretyatko as Matilda, the pushy ingenue who lets nothing get in her way (like Rosina) and Italian mezzo Chiara Chialli as the pushy Contessa who, after four hours [!] of conniving, was the sore loser. Young Italian buffo Nicola Alaimo as the wise doctor Aliprando and Italian baritone Paolo Bordogna as the opportunistic Neopolitan poet Isidoro (gifted Pesaro regulars) finished the five who lined up across the stage and let it rip.
The staging of the opera was limited to the principals running up and down the spiral staircases when not forming a line to sing together. The quintet was joined in the extended first act finale by the two additional principals, young Russian mezzo Anna Goryachova as Edoardo, captured son of the Iron Hearted's arch enemy, and excellent Spanish bass Simon Orfila as Ginardo, the castle gatekeeper.
Holding all of this together with the orchestra of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna was young Italian conductor Michele Mariotti, a graduate of the Conservatorio Rossini di Pesaro who has gone to the top fast. Mo. Mariotti brought unusual elegance to the opera's overture, and coaxed continued suavity and a far more than usual or expected orchestral participation in the complex musical proceedings without foregoing his responsibilities to the stage.
Without the participation of a real production conception (Italian film director Mario Martone's production was more or less costume opera, at least as seen from row 14), the performance missed achieving the magical Rossini operatic delirium that has been the hallmark of recent Adriatic Arena productions. Not that this lack was lamented by the audience who responded to Rossini's magnificent ensembles with huge, really huge, foot stomping ovations.
Olga Peretyatko, Matilda, had the last word in an extended solo scene at the end of the opera in which she unleashed torrents of brilliant coloratura bragging about her conquest of Juan Diego, the real Rossini diva she has become over the past several years in Pesaro.

A beautiful and timeless achievement, Conrad Rooks' 1972 adaptation of Herman Hesse's appropriation of East Indian mythology still entrances.
Sven Nykvist's golden-hued cinematography perfectly suits Hesse's mind-expanding narrative of Buddhist enlightenment.
Some aspects of Siddhartha seem terribly dated: the '60s-ish nude sequences, the wispy music, the big-eyed earnest acting. But it is a lushly beautiful film. Shooting largely in natural light, Nykvist creates a poetry more beautiful than Hesse's prose and as profound as the author's message.
Apologies to Conrad Rooks, but the only reason his 1972 film, Siddhartha, is getting a 30th-anniversary rerelease is the appeal of seeing Sven Nykvist's amazing cinematography restored to its full splendor.
Rooks has chosen to give this a surface elegance which sometimes robs the film of its needed earthiness and sensuality in its love angle and more robustness in detailing the vagaries of social aspects and values at the time.

Colorado Rockies Not Practicing What They Preach
The Colorado Rockies have a problem. Alex White, the Rockies 23 year old pitching prospect acquired in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, got a DUI during the first weekend of spring training. It's fairly obvious that he lied to the team, but they believe his apology is sufficient. Sounds like another character guy.
The Colorado Rockies revamped their locker room to include character guys. They spent their off-season creating a new culture to allow a team that has fallen into shambles, despite their high expectations, to compete. For the better part of the last decade, the Rockies have been a team of faith. They have Faith Day, which is often particularly notable because the Veggie Tales are present along with religious leaders.
Faith in a baseball team is something else entirely. The Rockies love to roll out a new campaign slogan and try to convince people each spring training that they will in fact compete for a World Series. They have excuses lined up when these same grand schemes do not materialize in the summer. But when fans can't trust the Rockies to properly deal with real issues, why should they believe the Rockies baseball strategy?
Alex White was stopped for a DUI last weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona. He immediately went to the Rockies and told them that he had a couple of drinks and did not know he was drunk. He came forth to the media and said that he was embarrassed by the situation and wanted to get all of the facts out in the open.
After the announcement, Dan O'Dowd told the Denver Post's Troy Renck that the situation was just water under the bridge.
"The embarrassment he caused himself … he's very close to his mother and father, so I think there has been enough punishment dealt on this one," O'Dowd said. "We have not seen any indication of this since we got the kid.
"He's been a choirboy, but he screwed up."
It turns out that White's blood alcohol content when he was stopped on the road was .174, over twice the legal limit, a charge dubbed an "Extreme DUI". There's no doubt that White, a 6' 3", 215 pound man had more than a couple of drinks when he was pulled over. Yet the Rockies have already said his actions did not warrant punishment.
I'm not sure if the Rockies are aware of this, but if he had killed someone instead of just being pulled over, this would not be seen as a stupid kid making a mistake. DUI's are serious things; drunk driving kills people everyday. The Rockies are lucky that national organizations have not set up a campaign against them just yet.
