OT: Magnificent Moscow Metro

When we were in Russia, 20 years ago, I was quite impressed by the beauty of the Moscos Metro stations, and the steep, speedy and thrilling escalator rides down to the stations. I don't have any decent images from back then, but here are a few someone else took and posted:

Re: Shutter firing erratic

Eric, I think John nailed the problem. You have your options set such that the camera will not fire if [something] is not in focus. I don’t remember the K-5 setup, but on the K-3 and other cameras since then there is a choice for AF1 or AF2 under Button Customization. AF1 is the “normal”
