Re: For street shooters - 90 degree mirror add-on lens
Takes a lot of time to develop the skills to place an image you want to capture. Moving the lens to settle on something has you fighting with having the lens's mirror at a pretty precise 90 degrees from the horizon. If you tip the lens down a fraction, it goes astray. But it's inexpensive, a frustration to use, fools few when they notice your antics trying to seem to be pointing the lens at something in front of you while rocking the camera body left and right to find your true subject.

Igor OK, sorry, When I think optics I think lenses. The mirror in the 90° add-on I had was not very good. IIRC. You would not be likely to get a sharp image. I think 135mm was about the shortest lens you could use without heavy vignetting.

Gifts
I got a set (-1) of 1981 Byte. Fun reading. Am giving some work to wife and her family. Picked up an old telesar power duplicator. Put it on the front of the tamron 24/2.5 and old sears 202 series 28-70. Results are decent. But it is the best I can do at the moment. I need a copier since my Nikon died.

Even at 500mm there was a lot of extra room in the frame so I just centered the bird and used the center autofocus point then did my composition when I cropped, so I can easily recompose with the bird further to the right in the frame. I guess, what Ken is talking about is not the framing but rather how the head is turned. I agree with that. I can't go back and change the head, but here is a reframing of it: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/11543308935/ original: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/11526991656 I like LRC10100 the most. I think that one is what Ken referred to as the second image. The sixth (10107) is just a bit too much straight, it needs just a bit more turn of the head. I'm afraid that that isn't something I can do anything about. Today, I was prepared to go back out with bigma and monopod. Before lunch, on my way to the lab, the birds were out in force. In the afternoon, when I had time to shoot, waiting for the installation program to finish, they were gone, nary a sparrow to be seen. Best, Igor PS.

Re: Waiting to Mush
I actually am thinking of attaching a GoPro camera to the sled, when he and I get a bet more skilled at mushing.

A major underground sewer trunk line goes through the property, and there is a sewer easement that is kept clear of trees and rocks, so that vehicles an access the sewer line if necessary. It is not unpaved, and grassy, so it would be ideal for a trail through the woods for the dogsled.

Re: GESO - Ice Storm Gallery
Thanks, Dan, and thanks to everyone else who commented. We were very lucky in New Toronto (older suburb just west of the city). No one out here was affected that I heard of. Just east (Mimico) and west (Long Branch and Mississauga) of us lost power; some for only a few hours, some longer. At one point I think up to several hundred thousand were without electricity. As of yesterday there were 120,000, today down to 70,000. The storm hit on Saturday night and Sunday so this is a long time in freezing temps to be without power. It's all downed wires, all very local so it's a time-consuming procedure to get things repaired on a block by block basis. Luckily no deaths reported. There certainly is a beauty to it though. Glad a few of you enjoyed what I was able to capture. Thanks again. Cheers, frank Daniel J. Matyola danmaty...@gmail.com wrote: Nice gallery. Those close-ups are very interesting and quite well done.

Even at 500mm there was a lot of extra room in the frame so I just centered the bird and used the center autofocus point then did my composition when I cropped, so I can easily recompose with the bird further to the right in the frame. I guess, what Ken is talking about is not the framing but rather how the head is turned. I agree with that. I can't go back and change the head, but here is a reframing of it: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/11543308935/ original: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/11526991656 I like LRC10100 the most. I think that one is what Ken referred to as the second image. The sixth (10107) is just a bit too much straight, it needs just a bit more turn of the head. I'm afraid that that isn't something I can do anything about. Today, I was prepared to go back out with bigma and monopod. Before lunch, on my way to the lab, the birds were out in force. In the afternoon, when I had time to shoot, waiting for the installation program to finish, they were gone, nary a sparrow to be seen. Best, Igor PS. Regarding the model: In some countries, sparrows are a nuisance, pretty much like pigeons at a city square.

For the technically inclined K3, 20-40 lens (which is turning out to be a bit of an odd beast) at 40mm. f/4.5 at 1/25th sec., ISO 1600.
