RE: OOPS!!
I can't relate a story about falling, but how about sitting in a loo in Xi'an, China, camera bag neatly slung from the hook on the back of the door to prevent it's being dragged out under the door and walked away with: watch in horror as hook breaks in half, sending bag with MZ-S, FA28-105, Sigma 18-35, AF330FTZ flash, etc, down on to concrete floor? Lens hood and filter ring on the Sigma bent, FA 28-105 internal zoom collar bent out of shape, nice scuff mark on corner of MZ-S.

RE: PESO - Outside the Basel Munster
From:Rick Womer Subject: PESO - Outside the Basel Munster I'm not sure about this one. I like the cobblestones and the stone walls and the way they interact, but it comes together rather busily. Or maybe that's good. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10204532 (K10D, DA 16-45) Rick I see what you mean Rick, but I think the way the cobbles and the stone walls come together works well. I did wonder whether a bit of cropping of the foreground cobbles might help tidy it up a bit, but they're interesting in their own right so that might remove something. The perspective of the series of round arches through the pointed one is particularly strong. Overall an excellent shot.

Re: PESO - Sunrise, St. Andrew's Bay
Glad you like the series, folks. I plan to post, on average, one pic per day of landings. Some days had several memorable landings, so there's stuff that won't be covered. Some landings did not produce any outstanding, either. Jack, regarding this image, I _muted_ the colours rather than inflating them. The K-7 expose to put the weight of the histogram as far to the right as it can. In situations where the contrast is lower than the CMOS sensor's latitude, it means the colours look a bit washed-out even though they're actually quite saturated. When reducing exposure and/or increasing contrast, it also becomes necessary to tweak saturation. Usually down. :-) Quite unfamiliar situation for me, a sucker as I am for strong colours. But the K-7 is one very cleverly thought-out camera, I think. To me it's Pentax best camera since 645ii.

By-Pass was performed and the mending process begun. I was sent home on the 23rd only to have to return two days later with a bladder infection. Another two days stay and return home only to return to the hospital with severe fluid retention. Finally home and feeling much better two days ago. Still have to sort out the bladder/prostrate problem with the urologist but I am feeling much better. Growing old is not for the faint of heart!!!

Re: OT - Pain
If it is infected, it is septic arthritis, not bursitis. It would be hot, red, and tender. The usual approach on this side of the pond is to draw some of the fluid out of the joint to see if it is full of white blood cells, and culture it to see what bacteria grow; then prescribe antibiotics accordingly. Bursitis is tennis elbow--not as painful, not hot and red, sometimes a bit tender, and not responsive to antibiotics.

Re: Cat photo :(
When my fathers purebreed English Cocker was 12 years old one of the Vets would remark at his annual checkup, He probably won't be around much longer. He said this for three years, then left the partnership for a job in research. The Dog lived another four years. At 19 he was a very old dog...

Our Ginger bloke (seen here doing the gardening: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~paulewins/resources/photos/peri%20in%20pot%202.jpg) is coming up 15 and will still dash around now and again. He's now on tablets for a Thyroid condition and medicated food to prevent urinary tract problems but is basically healthy and happy.

Pure bred animals tend not to live as long, and being and outdoor kitty definitely reduces average life span, for city kitties, anyway. I've had one live to nearly 20, another to 17 and a bit, and I've got two 12-year-olds in the house now. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

A fascinating landscape despite the weather. The seal doesn't show a lot of detail, but as part of the view, it works just fine.
