Ouch!

You might look into insurance. I have a “rider” on our homeowner’s policy that 
covers my cameras and lenses. It wasn’t expensive.

fall down followup

[Larry Colen]

I mentioned that a few weeks ago I helped a woman catch her dog, in the 
process, with the heavy camera in the handlebar bag the bike fell over.  
Shortly thereafter I noticed some issues with the lens focusing, but they 
seemed to correlate with low contrast situations, the camera wouldn't solidly 
lock focus on mountains through the haze.  A couple days later I noticed the 
smart function dial on the K-3 III was broken.  

I took the camera and lens to the local repair shop today, I hadn't noticed 
that the barrel of the lens was actually broken:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/rW86kLCAo8vWTRKa9

The estimates were something like $450 for the lens (which I can buy used for 
half of that), and $700 (even more than precision) for the camera body.

Sigh.  I think that for now I'll replace the lens with an 18-135, much less 
expensive, water resistant, smaller, and I think sharper at least within its 
range.

When I have some time, I may try taking the lens apart and doing a kluge fix 
myself.  In any case, if anyone has either an 18-135 or 18-270 they're looking 
to offload, let me know.  I'm also beginning to think that I should just pony 
up the dineros and send the K-3 III to precision in case there is anything else 
I missed.

If they are all in the same parent folder, you should be able to copy that and 
move it, if not you should be able to select them all at once and copy them.

You could also try using Carbon Copy Cloner.

from the console you could do
mkdir /Volumes/newdrive/photofolder
cp -pr * /Volumes/newdrive/photofolder

Re: Pentax Film Camera News

Pentax seem to be running a teaser campaign for the new film camera. Turn the 
sound on to hear them plugging the manual film winding experience. To me it 
sounds like a wheel/dial rather than a crank for winding on.

This may have been mentioned already, but if you run Disk Utility (it's in

Re: Pittsburgh

[Stan Halpin]

45-50 years ago, my then wife got into a graduate program at Carnegie Mellon, I 
was working in the D.C. area. She came home some weekends, I drove to 
Pittsburgh some weekends. So, I did spend quite a bit of time there over 
several years. But I must say I never really payed attention to the city 
itself, it was just another urban area. I was very pleased to see the city now 
through Rick’s eyes.
I need to go back through old slides and see if I even did any photography 
there.

I had problems with my mac crashing and found out that there is a related

Re: OT Mac help

You may wish to check your energy savings settings on your new iMac, to 
see if you have the external drives set to sleep when not in use. It 
could be, depending on the drive, that they go to sleep and vanish from 
the sidebar.


As always, if you change a setting, restarting the computer is the next 
step.

Re: OT Mac help

Hi Dave,

You might have a format problem with the older drives. If there’s enough free 
space on one to hold all the files, you might want to move them over and 
reformat the empty drive. Then, repeat with the other drive. Or simply by a 
hard rive of 2T or more and move the files to that drive, then reformat the 
empty drives.

Hi gang

So my new iMac 24" is working reasonably well, and am happy with it so far,
M3 chip.

However I have two older external HDs that are about 6 or 7 years old and a
new external HD that is my new Time machine. My back us are labeled 7 and
7a, for the most part 7 does not show up at all anymore but 7a and time
machine do, but, when i let the machine g to sleep for a while and wake it
up, 7a does not appear and sometime Time machine does not appear in the
side bar.

I have to restart the machine.

OIm using a usb hub to usbC device and have tried directly connecting hd7a
and 7 but with little luck, after waking up 7a does not appear.
I also bought a new cable for the hD'ds.

Any thoughts, is my time machine drive showing up as more stable cause its
new??

Re: Did anyone get Aurora photos?

[John Sessoms]

I was up in Great Smokey Mountains National Park for a long weekend, but 
there was fairly heavy overcast.


Lots of people up at Newfound Gap on Saturday night showed me their 
great cell phone photos & videos they'd taken on Friday night


... when I was asleep in Pigeon Forge. But I don't think I missed 
anything because it was overcast & raining in Pigeon Forge Friday night too.


Bright & sunny most of the day, but the clouds rolled in right around 
sunset.

Re: Holiday photos

[Stanley Halpin]

Very nice Mark!  I’ve noted your posts on social media have focused on 
performing an assessment of as many distilleries as possible in a short time 
period. I am glad to see that you did have time for photography as well!

We will be visiting several coastal towns in Scotland this July (in a small 
cruise ship, on our way to some fjords in Norway). The closest stop to Islay 
for us will be the Isle of Mull, just a bit further north. I am hoping for 
photo opportunities similar to yours.

That looks like a really nice spot, and some nice photos. 

The ‘out of order’ sign on the stamp machine is pretty definitive isn’t it - if 
they make it out of cast iron I’d say they don’t plan on fixing the machine! 
I’d forgotten stamp machines even existed, haven’t seen one for decades.

along the way).

https://www.flickr.com/photos/166715344@N04/albums/72177720316943057/

More than a few times I've found myself wishing I'd brought the DA
12-24 (if Pentax were to make a weather sealed version of this lens
I'd buy it in a heartbeat).

Next: Getting on a train to Ulverston in the lake district for the

Re: OT. OM-5 first impressions

[Larry Colen]

Another weird thing about the camera I noticed on my hike is that if you're 
shooting in "non-silent" mode, it doesn't just make the shutter sound with a 
speaker, there's some haptic bump to the camera.  I guess if what you care 
about is whether it feels like a film camera that's nice, if however you care 
about image sharpness, then something that bumps the camera around while you're 
taking photos can't be good.

I wasn't planning on it, but I'll try to give it a try. If I really care enough 
about image quality on a shot to do that, I'll use my K-1.  Although in 
retrospect, it might actually make a stop or two difference in noise/dynamic 
range.

I was debating which to get and the impression I got (which is why I got the 
OM-5), is that if you don't have either, it's worth while buying the OM-5, but 
it's not worth trading in for.  Unless of course you want an excuse to get a 
new camera.  :-)

Pittsburgh

[Rick Womer]

We took a short trip to Pittsburgh last month, and were able to enjoy this 
pleasant city in beautiful weather. 

The city is where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio 
River, which flows west to the Mississippi River.  My family had driven through 
Pittsburgh when I was a child, and I remember smoke and steel mills. Now only 
one steel mill remains, the smoke is gone, and the city is prosperous.

The views are excellent from Mount Washington, an escarpment south of the 
downtown area, served by two pairs of antique funicular rail cars (we went up 
and down the Duquesne Incline; the other (Monangahela Incline, about a mile 
away) was closed.

The visible bridges are among 446 in Pittsburgh, the most of any city in the 
world (and 3x the number in Venice).

The bronze figure on the bench, “Sidewalk Judge,” is by Seward Johnson, an heir 
to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and an artist.

Re: OT. OM-5 first impressions

[supera1000]

I'd be interested in your opinion if you use the hand-held hi res mode. I'm 
more than happy with my EM-5ii but the OM-5 has several features that interest 
me. I'm just not sure if the benefits make sense financially.

Cheers 
Brian

Here is the link to it there (no commercials on instagram that I can see )

The music in the background is from my friend Bob Zaidman on guitar  , 
his arrangement of an old tune which may or may not be

one you have heard before.. but that shouldn't matter :-)

It seems that I'm not the only one, it may be that it works differently in

I did put another 500 frames on it yesterday on a hike in Malibu Creek Park.  
I'm starting to get a bit more comfortable with it.  And it is a damn sight 
easier to carry than the k1.

I think i figured it out. Main catalog isd on the hard drive, and back up
is on one of two externals, the one that has it does not see to like my new
iMac, i i finally noticed i could change the back up location from the pop

Now if i can get my imac tro not drop my externals ill be happy

Re: Did anyone get Aurora photos?

[Stanley Halpin]

I had beautiful clear skies. Went out about 10:00pm, quick iPhone snap to 
verify that the green glow was not my imagination. Set up tripod, did a series 
of long and long]ger exposures… Zip. Nada. Well, in one frame I can see the 
edge of the light show down low on the horizon, mostly covered by intervening 
trees and structures.

But the iPhone snap was decent. Clouds are building up, I’ll go back out 
tonight, both phone and real camera again. And hopefully I’ll catch the show …

Re: OT. OM-5 first impressions

[Steve Cottrell]

Lar

I use an Olympus OM-D EM1 mark II as a video camera (only) but in conjunction 
with a very bright Fotga external monitor. The IBIS is excellent and one of the 
reason I got it. That and it was pretty cheap so reasonably easy to replace if 
it goes wrong or gets damaged.

I use it on conjunction with manual lenses and I have the focus peaking set on 
permanently. Maybe your still focus peaking can be enabled in the menus on the 
OM5 somewhere? It’s essential for my eyes.

Re: PESO: Bellbird

[Alan C]

So there is no problem with camera shake. I still use the Jack Davis 
formula TAV, 1/2000sec, f8 with my 170-500 for H/H at full stretch but 
still, like you, I find the AF screw drive somewhat lacking & seldom 
manage successful quick grabs. Too much glass for quick focus. The new 
PLM's are greased lightning by comparison but my budget won't stretch 
that far.  I get a success rate of only about 10% shooting aerobatics. 
Thank goodness for digital. My 55-300 behaves much better.

In some ways I'm ideally situated now: Good northerly location
(Scotland) and far away from any significant light pollution. AND the
weather has been pretty clear - unusual for Scotland. But we've been
doing long hikes during the day and I've been too exhausted to stay up
until it's dark enough to look for auroras (which is made no easier by
the fact that sunset comes *very* late at these latitudes).

If you like the OM-1, then I suspect the OM-5 would be just fine for you.  I 
also suspect that a lot of things that take the shine off for me aren’t things 
that come up for you as often.  My shooting needs are generally very different 
from yours.  If you don’t do a lot of bracketing of raw files, then my 
complaints there are totally irrelevant, and even so may not be something that 
bothers you.  

> 
> I'll be interested to see how you feel about it after a week or two.

This afternoon/evening we bopped by the Getty to play with cameras.  As things 
got darker I ended up needing to lean on the ISO a bit harder, it’ll be 
interesting to see how the images turn out.  On a quick look on my laptop, they 
seem to be usable at 6400.  


I was shooting with the 25/0.95 I bought from Boris and focus peaking went away 
in Manual Focus mode.  I put one of the autofocus lenses on, and focus peaking 
worked fine.  So, for some reason, manual focus assist does not work on manual 
focus only lenses.  

As we were leaving, I saw someone else waiting for the tram with a small retro 
looking camera, thinking that it might be another Oly I took a closer look, it 
was a Pentax MX!  I did tell him about PDML, he found the camera in his dad’s 
attic and is interested in learning more about photography in general and the 
camera in particular.

Hmm.

I was considering getting an OM-5 as a backup/lighter alternative;
I still feel nervous going anywhere with only a single camera body,
even though I'v never yet had a digital camera body fail on me
(and, in 50 years, only had two mechanical failures; once when my
MX motor drive bent a drive shaft in my MX, and once when my PZ-1p
objected to being used in rain, and took some time off to dry out.
I don't count my MZ-S objecting to having its lens mount knocked
off when I slipped climbing down from a photo tower and banged it
hard against an upright - that was entirely my own fault).

I suspect 'adequate' might still serve my purpose, although I will
admit that I was verging towards the slightly newer OM-D E-M5 Mk III.

I'll be interested to see how you feel about it after a week or two.

Re: Did anyone get Aurora photos?

I took a few with my phone from my front gate last night, just as a record.  
What amazed me is that they were visible at this latitude, from in the city 
with all its light pollution.

I have vague plans to keep an eye out tonight, not sure if I want to go to the 
effort of getting any proper photos.

OT. OM-5 first impressions

[Larry Colen]

After the weight of my new (13 months) K3III in my handlebar bag caused my bike 
to fall over and but the Smart Function knob, I looked into OM-5s again.  The 
price had dropped below my pain point, and since thanks to online shopping 
there aren’t any convenient camera stores to look at them, I bought on on 
Amazon, and if I don’t like it I’ll feel no guilt over returning it.

My one word review:
Adequate

My basic review of the Lumix GH3 was that I loved the size, was unimpressed by 
the sensor/image quality and hated the UI.

The OM-5 is the same size, seems to have a substantially better sensor, and the 
UI is better but really makes me appreciate my Pentax cameras.  I would not 
want one as my primary camera, but for something light and convenient to carry, 
if not use, it’ll work.

One example of something that I do on my pentax bodies that I can’t quite do on 
the OM 5 is my nominal shooting modes are two stop bracketing, either nominal 
and -2, or three stops shot in order of -2, nominal and +2.  First of all, with 
the OM, I get at most one stop per frame, it also always shoots nominal first.  
Another difference is that with the Pentax, one press of the shutter shoots all 
of the bracket frames at once.

In daylight, the EVF, frankly, looks like shit.  It is little better than 
giving me the shape of the objects in the frame.  I recognize that there are 
advantages of EVF, particularly in low light, for manual focusing, focus 
peaking is nice to have, and other info, but for the experience of photography, 
not ready for prime, or even zoom, time.

Also the camera’s biggest strength is also a weakness, the small size makes it 
awkward to shoot with, even with my tiny hands.  

Battery life seems mediocre, I’m used to running on Pentax batteries for hours, 
and this seems to be running low fairly quickly, but batteries are light and 
can be bought cheaply.

Re: New LRC catalog

[Bill]

That would be the ideal solution. If you can get the drive your 
catalogue is on working long enough to copy it to a good drive, copy it 
then tell Lightroom to use it.


You should also have a back up of it somewhere, though sometimes it ends 
up on the same drive as the working catalogue if you aren't careful.

It is, although I do struggle with it at times.  When the AF gets it right I 
get some great images.  I was lucky with this one as I'd been in such a hurry 
I'd forgotten to pay attention to the settings and it shot at f/6.7 so depth of 
field was not in my favour.

I remember trying to calibrate the focus of my lenses soon after getting the 
K5ii but gave up as the AF system just wouldn't quite focus consistently.  If I 
focused on the target a few times in a row it'd always come out slightly 
different, which made me wonder what was the point of calibrating it.  I seem 
to remember my target wasn't perfect but I never quite got around to having 
another go with a better one.  I do wonder it if's simply a mechanical 
limitation of the screw-drive mechanism.

Re: New LRC catalog

[lrc]

If you copy the catalog to another drive you should be able to point Lightroom 
at that catalog and have your edits. 

Also Lightroom saves backups of the catalog, where are they?

What about the catalog on your backup drive? 

You can also import one catalog into another?

The days are getting shorter and the weather's getting colder, and the 
bellbirds are coming down from their breeding sites in the hills.  Here's one I 
photographed the other day in the banskia tree in our back yard.  It's not the 
greatest of photos but it's the best of the ones I took.  These birds don't

RE: May PUG is up

[pkn291262]

I always look but seldom comment. I find it interesting to see how others 
interpret the theme. I always enjoy those that push the interpretation. I think 
of Alan's Panorama a while ago. I did try to think of something for this months 
on the lines of the question "Is there still life in this?" I did enjoy Rick's 
picture of the desk. I brought back memories of a similar one that my mother 
had.

It's interesting that the usual concept of 'Still Life' involves inanimate 
objects, which may be still but are certainly not living. Your submission fits 
the literal meaning of still life. :-)

a  very pleasing group.. but I notice the scarcity of submissions  - 
guess I'm not the only one not into doing still lifes 
I thought of submitting one of my ebay images but that didn't seem 
right.  also considered a photo ofone of my Mom's
paintings that are still lifes.. couldn't get into it.  Other stuff on 
my mind.

I think that my first series of Big Bear mountain expresses the much more 
significant issue.  With the way that everything is being built up a little bit 
of paint along side railroad tracks in the middle of town pales in contrast.  
It just makes for prettier pictures than telephone poles and warehouses.

Re: PESOs: Backyard Birds

[Rick Womer]

What Henk and Alan said!  I have always enjoyed your bird photos.

I’m particularly fond of white throated sparrows for their song. Philly isn’t 
in their range, so I con’t hear their song until we go to a New Hampshire lake 
for a vacation during the summer. That’s my “happy place,” and this bird 
contributes to my enjoyment.

The good news is that the focusing trouble might have just been my finger 
blocking the manual focus ring at the end of the lens.  

The bad news is that no good deed goes unpunished. On my ride a woman was 
having trouble catching her dog, so I rode past where the dog was, parked my 
bike, and it promptly fell over. The smart function knob on my K-3 III broke 
off, and what remains no longer turns.   About two months after the warranty 
expired.  

Sigh, I never used that feature anyways, it's not worth paying precision $537 
to replace it.

Very nice text book images, Paul. Summer should bring plenty more.
