Everything Old is New Again

A couple weekends back I made my annual visit to our local  historical camera collectors swap meet in hopes of finding a K version of the SMC 28/3.5. I wasn't that lucky (I usually find a gem there), but I did find an M 28/2.8 and a K 50/4 Macro. I shot a few images with the 50 on my Sony A7II

So does that mean it's not a gimmick with Leibovitz involved? Or not ... On 4/16/2017 22:15, Mark Roberts wrote: OK, it's pure marketing gimmick. But it's pure marketing gimmick involving fine photographers (Annie Liebowitzt excepted).

Re: PESO: Pruned Apple Tree

I think that kind of pruning where the tree is made to grow all in one plane is called an "Espalier". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espalier On 4/18/2017 17:42, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Thanks, Gonz! The French do a lot of pruning. Many of the trees on the grounds of Notre Dame are pruned

Re: PESO: Pruned Apple Tree

Thanks, Gonz! The French do a lot of pruning. Many of the trees on the grounds of Notre Dame are pruned into cube shapes. The guide explained that English gardeners like to keep things as natural as possible, while French gardeners like to demonstrate the domination of man over nature. Dan

Here are a few shots from the sea-to-sea velocipede ride I did over Easter with a friend. Precious few pictures - it was too cold mostly, and those hills weren't going to cycle themselves. It's a good trip, worth doing. https://sway.com/EV8d7EHbmt6f8jRa I have a couple more pictures in the

Re: PESO: Pruned Apple Tree

I love it, though I wish the tree was not "pruned" photographically and the ends were visible! Amazing! On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 9:41 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > Another from my trip to Monet's garden in Giverny. > This is one of many highly pruned and trained apple

It is interesting, that this "universal" L-bracket is photographed with an old Pentax DSLR. After all, Pentax is not the market leader. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W995BM2/ref=wl_mb_recs_1_title Click at the bottom product photo. Igor -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

PESO: Pruned Apple Tree

Another from my trip to Monet's garden in Giverny. This is one of many highly pruned and trained apple trees in the garden. I believe this technique is called espalier. https://www.photo.net/photo/18376135/ K-5 IIs, DA 18-135 zoom Comments are invited and appreciated.

Runs until June 3, Dan. So all of May anyway. Opening reception is the 20th (this Thursday) from 6-8 PM. I'm unlikely to be able to make it down myself, and it would be awesome if you and/or other PDMLers could visit at some point and get some shots. I hope that Ted himself can make it buts he's
