I was talking to the Western Canadian Rep yesterday. He is hoping for

about this sort of thing than Pentax was.

I also had a look at the new 70-200/2.8 and 150-450/4.5-5.6
They are ginormous lenses. I hope Ricoh knows what they are doing, the 
150-450 is a tripod lens, no doubt about it, and well it should be, but 
the 70-200 is also in that category,

VESO: Mustang

2015-05-10 Thread John

Saturday something came up  I decided to mess with the K-3 video.

I'll have to say straight up that I haven't read the manual  haven't 
got a clue what I'm doing yet. First of all, I didn't quite allow for 
the viewfinder to be blocked, so I bobble it at first before I realize I 
needed to look at the little TV screen on the back. And of course, it 
was bright sunlight so I could barely see the screen.


And I thought it would stop recording when I released the shutter 
button. Apparently not. I was able to go into Photoshop  cut out the 
additional 70 or so seconds of the grass growing before I realized it 
was still recording.


I know even less about editing, so I didn't think to do anything about 
the sound volume, so this is straight out of the camera.


Anyway, for your viewing pleasure ...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/jb_sessoms/17500174382

I'll explain later where I was, what I was doing and how I ended up there.

PESO: The Arsenal of Democracy

2015-05-10 Thread John
Well, not quite ... the VESO I just posted is, but this is actually A 
New Constellation.


https://www.flickr.com/photos/jb_sessoms/17506398152

Taken with the K-3  Sigma 10-20mm zoom at 10mm. I stood underneath and 
pointed the camera more or less straight up.


OK, so here's the deal ...

When I finally got around to checking my news feed on Friday, there was 
a small article about the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover in Washington, 
DC to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day.


Couldn't find it on YouTube, I guess no one had posted it yet. But I did 
find a link to the Smithsonian Air  Space museum saying the aircraft 
from the flyover would be on display on Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm at 
the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.


I got to thinking about it and decided I could probably make a day trip. 
The weather forecast was for about 80 deg F with scattered clouds.


If y'all remember my rant from a few days back on how Google had 
F^$%#-Up the maps, I won't bore you with the details, but figuring out 
where to go  how to get there actually took longer than the drive up 
itself.


I figured to drive up and park at the farthest out Park  Ride lot  
take the Metro in. I managed to decipher which trains  buses I would 
have to take to get from Franconia-Springfield to Udvar-Hazy and back. 
Reverse planning, I knew what time I had to get there, and I was barely 
able to force Google Maps to cough up driving directions (which I didn't 
need) along with a timetable (which I did need).


The trip worked out pretty much the way I planned it with only a few 
exceptions.


It started getting misty  drizzly about the time I crossed the Virginia 
line. The Smithsonian underestimated the number of people who were going 
to turn out for the event  how long it was going to take to process all 
the cars into the parking lot with only one gate open to collect the 
parking fee one car at a time. The resulting traffic jam turned a 
scheduled 45 minute bus ride into an hour  a half, during which time 
they announced there was only one aircraft on display because all the 
others had been unable to fly in that morning due to the low overcast 
from the rain.


The weather cleared up later in the day and four other aircraft were 
able to make it over to Dulles although they were only able to stay for 
about half an hour before the FAA pushed them to depart on schedule.


It would have been nice if they could all have made it over to Dulles on 
Saturday. The B-29 crew didn't seen any point in coming over for just 
half an hour, so they departed direct back to Texas when the weather 
cleared.


Anyway, I had a fairly good day. It'll be worth making another trip up 
there when the museum isn't quite so crowded. I got some other good 
images, but the ones of the satellites was the one I knew I'd nailed 
right out of the camera.

The DNR has taken to plowing up some of the meadows in the forest that I
frequent and planting winter wheat. Here the wheat is growing along a

of aspen, which pop up after the more mature forest is clear cut. The

is shockingly green in the springtime. I did adjust the saturation in
this -
minus 20 to both the green and yellow sliders.

I recommend looking at the larger image. It is lost in the web sized
image,
but the detail rendered by the K3 really challenges what I ge from
6x7 film.

K3, Sigma 70-200 f2.8 EX (first version).

Comments welcome!

PESO: Long Distance Tornado

2015-05-10 Thread Darren Addy
This is certainly not an artistic shot, but after a very long chase
day I was pleased to have at least documented one of yesterday's rare
Kansas tornadoes. I learned a lot more about chasing and meteorology
yesterday, I'll tell you that. I'm grateful that, at least at this
point, I have heard of no fatalities or serious injuries from the
Kansas tornadoes yesterday.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/17471807216/in/dateposted-public/

Besides the chasing yesterday I was able to get at least a couple of
non-weather-related future PESOs (I think). Stay tuned.

A nice gallery and hard to single out favorites, but if you put a gun
to my head and made me, then I would list Matthew Hunt's Autumn

Bleeding Heart  Bulent's Hello There.
