Re: OT: Life Changes
I have an acquaintance (I met in a photo workshop), she and her husband sold every, bought an RV, roamed, and then two years later bought a double-wide in FL for winter, they still roam in summer, mostly back in Mich. I think they kept Mich. residency.

RE: K3-III metering
I'd had my first camera for a week, and was on board a ship off Funchal, Madeira, and wanted to take a shot of the harbour and city lights. I had no idea how to set the camera, and an experienced fellow passenger helped me out. He asked two questions : "What film are you using?" - K32 "What's the lens?" - Colour-Lanthar f2.8 "Ok - set it at 1/30th and f2.8" - which I did, and it worked perfectly! On another occasion, a couple of years later, the sun was setting through light rain, and, from a very high hill, and, with my non-metering Pentax SV, decided 1/8th at f1.8 might work, this time on K64. It did too, and is one of what I consider my best images: PDML-ers may recall it from a PESO or gallery entry a long time ago. So we did get good images by guess and by God, although we also had a lot of misses!

Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction Photos
While packing up I ran across a Nikon "Film Camera" book. On 4/25/2023 4:00 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: There's a thread on the RangeFinder Forum in which the topic of Nikon F and F2 cameras is being discussed. It made me nostalgic for my old Nikon F Photomic FTn, which I owned and lived with constantly from 1969 to about 1976 or so. Which drew me to thinking about the early Nikon F plain prism that I got from Charles on this list, after it had been sitting sans lens in a box in his basement for an unknown period of time, somewhere about a decade or so ago. Well, I had it overhauled and adjusted to spec, and found a lovely old Nikkor 28mm f/2 lens for it, somewhere around 2012. And I've occasionally run a roll of film through it ... it performs just as beautifully as my first one did all those eons ago. So I thought to myself: "Hmm, I've never posted a beauty shot of the resurrected camera..." and figured I'd do one for the RFF folks. Of course, I usually do such beauty shots nowadays with the iPhone since they're not intended to be printed to any size, just have to look nice in a small JPEG: Early Nikon F "Plain Prism" - Santa Clara 2023 :: https://flic.kr/p/2ovSe27 iPhone 11 Pro Moment Camera - DNG output ISO 250 @ f/2 @ 1/70 @ 6mm lens Now that wee little sensor in the iPhone 11 Pro is kinda stressed at anything over ISO 50 (ISO 100 being the limit for a clean rendering IMO) so I figured, "Here's an opportunity to see how good the new AI Enhanced DeNoise in the latest version of Lightroom Classic might be!" So here's an "after/before" comparison detail clip of the image, screen captured out of LR Classic… Enhanced DeNoise AI after/before :: https://www.flickr.com/gp/gdgphoto/2191Gsz2ab Have to say, I think the denoise algorithm does a pretty nice job. :) enjoy!
