PESOs (3)- Trolley Trail

Sunday was a beautiful spring day, and we needed a hike. So, we headed for the Trolley Trail in northwest Philadelphia. There were almost no signs of spring up there (apart from an absence of snow), and my photography was limited. There were three keepers, though: 1. The Chamounix Mansion,

One problem I have is I can SEE the good photos in a scene, but I can't seem to capture them. My images don't satisfy me when I compare them to the scenes they represent. On 3/23/2021 23:19:29, Alan C wrote: There are some among us who have plenty of imagination or "The Photographer's Eye"

Re: for discussion

In my current situation it's kind of difficult to juggle the camera, a cup of coffee & the dog leash all at the same time. I've already tripped over the dog & broken the camera once. Plus the quarantine. Eventually I'll figure out a way to do it. On 3/23/2021 17:30:22, jco...@iinet.net.au

Someone suggested they may be Winter Aconite. Is that another name for buttercups? I remember buttercups as a summer flower, not an early spring flower, but then my memory is not what it used to be. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery *

Re: PESO: Yellow wildflower

One of the defining characteristics of Ranunculids (buttercups) is that their petals have a smooth, reflective surface, which is not common in other flowering plants. Hypotheses for the presence of this surface range from an extra attractant to pollinating insects to a heat regulating

Re: K-70 problem?

Pentax or should I say Ricoh, has limited manufacturing capacity, and it's quite possible that all the K-70 cameras that will be built have already been built to free up capacity to build the new K-3III.  So while I would expect that K-70s built earlier should in theory already be sold, and

Did you use a pola filter? It looks like a species of ranunculus (of which there many), however these are rather shiny. Henk Op 2021-03-24 om 05:14 schreef Daniel J. Matyola: These small yellow wildflowers appeared across the street this week. Can anyone identify them for me?

K-70 problem?

Certainly my final word on this. I've read a lot of reviews and forum posts, many of which give anecdotal evidence in opposing directions. It therefore remains unclear, to me at least, whether K-70s that are currently being constructed or even a subset of them have this problem. I emailed
