Re: OT Mac help
Hi Dave, You might have a format problem with the older drives. If there’s enough free space on one to hold all the files, you might want to move them over and reformat the empty drive. Then, repeat with the other drive. Or simply by a hard rive of 2T or more and move the files to that drive, then reformat the empty drives.

PESOs: Backyard Birds
Finally getting back to shooting a few birds. A nice morning here, so I sat outside for a bit.

Re: Problems reading SD cards
Since Win7 was working for you have you considered backing everything up and re-installing Win7? If all you use that computer for is photo processing there shouldn't be a lot of software to re-install. OTOH, if you have a computer running (or able to run) Win10, Win10 has a compatibility mode that you can activate that allows you to run aged games and software. -p On 2/21/2024 6:54 PM, John Sessoms wrote: I spent today doing some maintenance on my photography - making sure I have all of my images copied off of the memory cards onto the computer & batch renaming by Camera Type & Sequence Number ... so that IMGP5432 from the K-2 becomes K3-05432 Part of the reason for this is the default for Pentax Raw files is "IMGP" and a couple of my cameras have rolled over past and the K-1 numbering was reset when I had to send it in for repair after I fell & yanked the screen off the back. So it's K10D-1, K20D-0, K-3-0 & K-1-1 ... I pretty much kept up with it WHILE I was downloading images from the camera up until Covid (when I got lazy and sometimes wouldn't download the images for months after I took them) ANYWAY - The K-3 has been giving me fits downloading images today. Adobe Bridge "get media" seems to fail after pulling down about 8 images. I'm having the same problem directly copying from the card to the computer - 8 images & an error. When the error comes Windoze says the DCIM folder is empty & can't even see the card to eject it. If I just pull the card reader out & plug it in again the sub-folders are still there in DCIM and I can go into the sub-folder and copy images manually ... but if I select more than 8 at a time it's going to have the same error copying. If I just select 8 images they seem to copy fine and then I can select 8 more and they'll copy, but rarely works for a third batch of 8. Repeat remove & reinsert & select the next 8 ... I only had the problem with the K-3 cards - 2-32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC and 1-32GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC. I'm pretty sure I only lost a single image to corruption. Sucks, but at least it's not worse. I copied all the images over to my file server. I don't know if it's the camera, the cards, the card reader or the computer.

Re: Thumb drive fart under pressure
For the most compatibility across operating systems FAT32 file system is your best bet. It does have a couple limitations - a max file size 4 GB and a max partition size of 8TB. These limitations are not usually a problem with a flash drive unless you're trying to save something like a movie. FAT16 is so old it's pretty much dead in the water and NTFS, standard for Windows machines, can be both read and write to Windows, but read only for MACs. EX FAT eliminates the file size and partition size limitations of FAT32 but is somewhat less compatible machine/system-wise. Assuming you don't have any files larger than 4GB, if you have two flash drives, format one to FAT32 and the other to EX-FAT. Put your files on both of them and see which works in the class machines. -p On 1/30/2024 6:57 PM, Rick Womer wrote: I’m taking a photography course at the Fleisher Art Memorial here in Philly.

This album is fighters, attack planes, trainers, observation & recon and related. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720310220971 We did luck out and the skies cooperated, so some of the photos actually turned out pretty nice.

It’s a cage but well hidden. The owner is an amazing craftsman. Built it from a wreck of a C-code ‘’65. It’s a road racer and cruiser. 575 horsepower all aluminum stroked Dart 302. 365 cid, 575 horsepower, 5-speed Tremac, beautiful aftermarket suspension. Owner says it handles like a go-kart.

Re: Slide scanners
I scan slides on my Epson V850 Pro flatbed scanner. It has slide holders that position the slides correctly and hold about a dozen at a time. I find that automating slide scanning isn’t very efficient as exposures vary. I have the same storage as you: binders with slide holder pages. But i scan only the best and others as needed. Scanning all seems a formidable task, given that you’ll also have to render each scan to get an excellent result. The epson will scan them at 4900 dpi native, generating very nice hi-kres files.

Re: April PUG is up
Ann - That abandoned house was in Upton, Wisconsin southwest of Hurley in the old Gogebic Iron Range. Here's a link to its location on Google Maps. The latest aerial imagery is from 2023 and I can't tell if the house is still there, but if you go to street view, which is from 2009, you can see the house. It's not too far from the south shore of Lake Superior. https://goo.gl/maps/DGcg3PyYNfgxc2QS7 -p On 4/6/2023 8:34 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: Oh what a great gallery! So interesting..

Re: How large is too large...
I should clarify that about half of those are backups, so I have only about 3 terabytes of unique images. I don’t know how many that would be, but it includes a lot of unprocessed DNGs and a tiff and jpeg of each rendered image. So it’s irrelevant in comparison to a lightroom catalog. But the system works very well. > On Feb 17, 2023, at 7:13 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > I have approximately 6 terabytes of images on 10 drives, both spinny and ssd. > They’re all catalogued in Adobe Bridge, making them easy to access and not > dependent on software gymnastics. > > Paul > >> On Feb 17, 2023, at 7:28 AM, Rob Studdert wrote: >> >> Late to the thread, my main LR classic catalogue currently shows 689k >> images, I prefer it this way as I'm regularly needing to revisit >> previous edits and I shoot a lot of recurring jobs.

The funny thing is that I had taken a fair number of photos before I realized that I had put it on my K-3 rather than my K-1, so I went back, swapped bodies (I often wish I could do that with my own body) and then got some real wide angle photos. If a few of the photos you can see my home made depth gauge. The photos at the end of the set show the river after it had dropped to 16 feet, a little deeper than it got on the 31st. At its deepest this morning I think it was a bit over 18' deep. Granted, that's 18' over the portion of the river bed that is usually not under water, the normal channel is maybe 1/3-1/2 as wide as it is when it goes cliff to cliff. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720305120476 Like a fool, I figured that today was going to be nice and dry, and while they need to do some work on 17 on the side heading home, they'll be long done with that before I need to go home.

Re: September PUG is up - Again....
Thanks to all for looking, liking and commenting on my "jetty". Of all the definitions I found, the most popular was an object extending into the water to create a harbor. In my defense, however, a couple secondary definitions called it an object extending from the shore into the water for the purpose of fishing and/or tying up a boat. In any case, thanks for the positive comments and the lively discussion. -p On 9/8/2022 2:32 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: I didn't see (either) Paul ask about a pier vs a jetty but I had been bothered by that as well.. which is partly why I gave up trying to find a Pentax taken shot for this month.. and the one shot I had (that would have been a repeat PUG submission ) was only a pier... ;-) ann On 9/8/2022 1:27 PM, Daniel J.

Strong perspective, nice patterns and textures, and a definite mood. I also really like Misty, by Patrick Nelson; a fine, moody, minimalist image. I think the long light pole, jutting out from the main object of attention, really makes this shot special. *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery <https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery>* On Thu, Sep 8, 2022 at 5:37 AM Brian W wrote: This time including Ralf's contribution which originally disappeared in cyberspace.
