Re: PESO suburban eagle also, teleconverter question

The eagle shot is nice, but it's crying out for levels adjustment and rendering finesse. The best Pentax converter is the DA 1.4X, but it vignettes a bIt on full frame. All the A series converters yield sharp images, but they're manual focus. Paul via phone > On May 22, 2017, at 5:20 PM,

Wow is my reaction to this article. Author carefully tests the light quality from 28 available LED products and also thoroughly explains his measuring criteria, methods, and baseline sources, like the sun. Especially interesting is how he shows that CRI is actually very misleading when comparing

On my way up to Oakland on Friday, I stopped in Milpitas to have another try at the bald eagles at Curtner Elementary school: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/34698172421/ For those that want the whole set http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157684046829556/ Also, is there

Re: K1 vs 645z

I've done a lot of pixel shift work with the K1 and have to say that it represents an incremental improvement in detail and dynamic range, but is not a critical factor. In focus stacks there is a noticeable improvement in detail using pixel shift mode, and its visible when pixel peeping or

The HD DFA645 28-45 is a ridiculously good landscape lens, it runs rings around the 15-30/2.8 Tamron for edge to edge sharpness, flare resistance and lack of CA. On 22 May 2017 at 08:05, Bruce Walker wrote: > On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 5:02 PM, Zos Xavius

Re: PESOs (3) - On My Way to Work (April)

Thanks for commenting, Ken. Actually a good deal of compositional thought went into these, and I’d appreciate your suggestions. In the first one, I intended the in-focus blossoms to make a “swoosh” beginning upper left and ending upper right. In LR I added 1/2 stop to it to help it stand out

You're getting some pretty remarkable results, both in the quality of images and also in the numbers and varieties of birds you are spotting. These warblers are great and none too common! On 5/20/2017 5:25 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: According to the Audubon guide books, this bird is a female

I'm usually incredibly anal about checking that there is nothing compromising the seals but have to admit, on this occasion, I failed to do so. I can find nothing wrong with the camera at all but it ended up with a tide mark halfway up the LCD. Even then, if it had been fresh water there might

Re: PESOs (3) - On My Way to Work (April)

Hi Rick - my take FWIW - In the first one, I intended the in-focus blossoms to make a “swoosh” beginning upper left and ending upper right. In LR I added 1/2 stop to it to help it stand out from the background. I tried a few different apertures; this one (f/6.7) probably has a little too much
