The Fisherman

Driving along the coastal road as dusk set in we came upon some intense black rocks, threatening clouds that hid the sun and an island in the distant haze. The sea was shimmering. I could not resist but stop and take some shots. I took the Fisherman's permission for the shots with the Pentax K-5

Re: Penta K-R Battery Question

I will respectfully disagree with this point of view Sir Cotty. If someone is actually gong to USE their camera (and not just pull it out twice a year for holidays or family gatherings), then they don’t need extra kit. They need to either attend to the charge level on their battery or they need

It's the beginning of fall in the northern hemisphere. I've been out-doors more in the last week than I have been all summer. I've even made a few photographs. Checked the inter-webs today & fall color is coming in early this year in the North Carolina portion of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Re: Penta K-R Battery Question

You can get the AA battery carrier from Amazon. It's not that expensive, only about USD $34. I'd buy one if I had the K-R. The AA Lithium disposable batteries give about twice as many shots as the D-LI109. On 9/24/2017 16:42, Steve Cottrell wrote: On 24/9/17, P. J. Alling, discombobulated,

You can also set the K1 to use an electronic shutter in live view mode, no pixel shift. With the camera set to 3 second delay and electronic shutter, you can minimize any kind of shutter shake almost as effectively as using flash and minimizing / eliminating ambient light. But I found that
