You can, with the new firmware, set the rear screen to deep red night
vision colour.
At least that won't blind you when you check your shooting mode.

Re: K-1 quirks

[Larry Colen]

Another one that I forgot to ask about.  With all of my other cameras, 
when I'd change the mode (M, Av, TAv, Tv ...) it would briefly display 
on the back LCD what the new mode was. Now, that doesn't happen.  There 
doesn't seem to be a way to see the shooting mode in the dark without 
going to the idiot screen on the back that shows everything, shines in 
your face and runs the battery down.  Am I missing a menu item to show 
that info?

Re: PESO - Odd Juxtaposition

Odd,  indeed - But a nice shot...

reminds me of seeing a similar juxtaposition in two vessels -not- in a 
museum in Groton... as a windjammer was passing by, the atomic submarine 
Nautilis wascoming into port... think I saw it from the train to 
Bostonyears ago..

RE: Coyles in USA

[John Coyle]

Hi Ken - thanks, you're welcome! Not sure we had any particular expectations, 
but it was certainly
an interesting experience!  Because we stayed in South San Francisco, we were 
able to see a lot of
the outer suburbs, as well as, thanks to Larry, seeing quite a lot of the 
attractions of the area
too.  The city itself does have a nice feel in many ways, but the number of 
homeless and other
disadvantaged people was quite disturbing: we walked along Howard Street, just 
two blocks down from
Market St, and the difference is manifest: tourists and wealth versus poverty 
and homelessness.

However, overall, we met some great people, and one day will probably return.

An unusual sign I haven't seen before. Notice its bear, not bare. I've
been
in all the United States
and don't recall seeing one before.

Where was it taken ?

December PUG Update

'Winter's Grace'.

Much more enjoyable, I think...

Make me an offer on my Bowers 8/3.5 :-) .  It has the fixed hood and to

Re: December PUG is Up

I was really hoping I could get something in for this month, but there
ain't been much tranquility around here for a while. Don't even have
time to get one job complete before something else goes kablooie & my
list of urgent repair projects just keeps growing and growing.

The first three - Matthew Hunt's "Sailboat"; Jack Davis's "Winter's
Grace" and Jan van Wijk's "Sailing Botters" look most tranquil to me.

Remind me again what the 2017 themes are? I checked the submission page
& it's still showing 2016 even after I refreshed the view. I got "Doors"
for January & maybe I'll have something for that, but I'd like to be
looking ahead for the rest of the year. If I start looking around now, I
might be able to do something.

Re: VESO: Newest video

FWIW, it's probably not your computer.

Micro$oft nuked Windows Movie Maker about the time Windoze 7 replaced
XP. Although, if you dug hard enough, you could find a version that
would run on Windoze 7, it never worked that well, and it's got
progressively worse under later iterations of Windoze.

Too bad. It was originally one of the few Micro$oft offerings that
didn't suck.

That's a trade-off I've found, I don't know where he falls on that balance. 
 Both reach and buffer size are alleviated by shooting in crop mode. Does
anyone on the list have a k70?


Interesting comments.

I'm happy in most respects for using the K3 & 55-300mm for horse events. Why
I'd prefer the K1 & DFA 150-450, apart from the extra megapixels, doesn't
really trouble me about capturing movement - it's light. The K1 performs
better at higher ISO, and some of the venues I go to, particularly in the
morning, can be bright sunshine on one side and really dark on the other.
They are often held in large indoor schools (although one side is often
without a wall, just roof supports) and photography is only often allowed
from one side, and of course often the side furthest from the action.

When taking pictures of horses in fields, even running around at speed, I'm
usually using a tripod, or leaning on a bale of something. The K3 is fine
for that and the reach of a crop sensor does me a favour.

Cream of the crop: K-1 with DA-L 55-300

[Mark Roberts]

Pardon the pun...
Last weekend I also tried out the K-1 with an APS-C crop lens, the
bargain basement DA-L 55-300 f/4-5.8. In crop mode you get ~15
megapixel 
images. So how did it work? Here's a shot at 300mm, 1/1000 @ f/6.7
(which is only stopped down about half a stop from wide open at that
focal length), so depth of field is very thin. But where the feathers
of this bird (not the same Gray Jay as my previous shot) are within
DOF the sharpness is astonishing for a plastic-fantastic kit lens that
can be had for $179.00 brand new (from dealers who split up kit
items).

I have not found that to be the case. Whether shooting automobiles, athletes or 
critters, the K-1 locks focus quickly and consistently, particularly with the 
150-450. The K-3 is at least a step behind. Buffer size is the only minus, but 
shooting singles or short and infrequent bursts is my workaround.

You may well find that the k3 does better for action photography than the k1 
anyways, even with the k1 in crop mode.

I'm a sucker for soft, hazy still-life's and landscapes, so Jack's
Winter's Grace, Matthew Hunt's Sailboat, and Bill's Pretty Tranquil
stand out for me. And Marco's intriguing Bull is right up to his usual

2016 was an excellent PUG year. :)

OT Update

[David J Brooks]

Hey all

Its been 11 days or so since doing the mac OS 10.11 upgrade. I have
tested out just about everything, i think, and just thought i'd give
my impressions on this new to me system.

Looks nice so far still trying to sort out where some of my Finder
left side shortcuts are ( the today- this week- and this month search
shortcuts that used ot be there in 10.6.8) but i have most back.
Having some issues with PSEL 9 and Word for Mac 2011. They both seem
to cut out at times and i need to restart and then they seem ok. Hope
this does not happen when i start my memoir writings soon. May need to
upgrade to EL 15 maybe, local Staples has a few copies on for $99. LR
4.4 seems stable that's my main concern anyway.

There was a pair that followed us about a quarter of a mile down from
the top of the mountain. They literally ate out of the palms of our
hands.

The one in the photo is a smaller one we saw a little later.

Oh, and Lisa informs me it's a Gray Jay, not a Chickadee.

December PUG is Up

[Brian Walters]

G'day all,

A great gallery to wind up 2016.  Well done, everyone.

Lots of favourites - Matthew's 'Sailboat', Jack's 'Winter's Grace' (pity
it wasn't larger, though), Filip's "Schoonselhof ', Joe's 'In Bruge' and
Bruce's 'Tranquility' are my personal favourites this month.

As usual you'll find the gallery here:

http://pug.komkon.org/

(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery
there).

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not
infallible.  So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the
gallery, let me know.

+

Now on to 2017

First up: 'Doors'

Street photography enablement.

[Malcolm Smith]

I've spent some time taking street photos again, always with a zoom and with
very mixed results.

 

The next lens I wanted to buy was the DFA 150-450mm, but I really wanted a
prime for street photography. The K1 warrants decent glass. I thought long
and hard, the Black Friday sale helped too, and I've gone for the 31mm LTD.
I've not owned a LTD lens before and I'm delighted after so long to finally
own one.  I'm looking forward to seeing what I can achieve with this
combination, and I'm particularly pleased to have a prime lens again and use
my legs as the zoom.

Loads of expense just erecting  platforms/scaffolding to do such work. I
replaced everything I could - guttering etc - when I had that done, to save
paying for that twice.

Ah Christmas upon us once more (although the local supermarket thinks that
means the end of September...). Nice photo.

The Orion image makes me jealous, as the light pollution around a major city
where I am makes it almost impossible. Next time I'm in rural Scotland I'll
have a go, assuming it doesn't do the usual heaving down with rain.

After Mark's post today, I found it a pleasant coincidence that with the 
K-1 the FA77 is the perfect focal length for photographing all of Orion. 
 I was also pleased to see that the Orion Nebula is actually 
recognizable even with the 77, I'm going to have to try with a longer 
lens.  If someone has the 150-450, I'd love to see what you could with 
that on the Orion Nebula and Andromeda.
