Re: PESOs: Backyard Birds

2024-04-30 Thread 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.

It seems that those are red velvet ants.  

I was definitely a safe distance, fortunately the 18-270 will still focus at

Spiders don't have antennae, which yours clearly does. Also, I can't make out 
more than six legs.  Some ant species are hairy and the queens chew off their 
wings after fertilisation.  I wonder if the same happens with some species of 
bumble bees?  There is a scarlet tailed bumblebee, Bombus coccineus but I don't 
have any other information about it.

I looked up "Red fuzzy butt spider" and was pointed to the Johnson Jumper:
https://www.inaturalist.org/guide_taxa/682651

Mind you, my inner 12 year old goes a very different place with the phrase 
"Johnson Jumper".

Oh, and I think the snake might be a red diamond rattlesnake.

I have to admit that phones today are pretty darn good cameras.
I don't have a K1, and I don't push the limits of my cameras
too hard, but I'm reasonably sure that the M1X is at least as
good as my K5 (and, most of the time, significantly better)
for anything I ask it to do.

The one thing I do occasionally miss is not having a second body.
But as I only *had* to use a second body once in all the years
(when my PZ-1p stopped working on a rainy day; the MX I had as
a backup wasn't in the least bit bothered by getting rained on)
I'm not losing a whole lot of sleep worrying too much about that.

Hmmm  

BTW, there are a couple of lens caps sitting on my desk in Felton, but I don't 
know which is to the 200 and which the 80-200.  We need to figure out the

I'm going to have to look into some of the newer u4/3 bodies. I've gone back to 
carrying the k3 on bike rides.  There's too much difference in image quality 
between the u4/3 and the k3iii body for photos I care about and too little 
between it and my phone for ones I don't.

I'm almost certainly going to be clearing out my Pentax shelves soon.
Most of the stuff is pretty old, and probably not of a lot of interest,
but there are several nice items (FA* 250-600/f5.6, A* 300/f2.8, ...).

Basically I've got almost every bit of Pentax gear I've owned except
for my first Pentax - a Spotmatic II with the 50mm/f1.4 - which went
to a good home.  Old film bodies (including 2 MXs), newer film bodies
(a PZ-1p and an MZ-S), and a few digital bodies (*ist-D, K10D, K-5).

There's also a whole raft of lenses of varying quality, and several
less common items (like a motor drive for the MX).

I'll post a full list once I've got round to digging through all the
assorted boxes containing camera gear. 

I've been considering doing this for some time now, but it's hard to
part with gear that has served me well.  But I haven't touched any of
the Pentax items for over a year, and my M1X outfit is a lot lighter
to carry, and gives me a range from 12mm to 300mm focal lengths in
just two lenses and one TC.

Hi Ann,

Sorry for the late response.  Been outta town. I've been ok, getting
older sucks.  I did enjoy the eclipse very much however, they are
always an awesome sight to see.  Got a few pics with a 300mm + 1.4x

Sadly, we don't have hundred pound notes.  Probably soon...

And our money is plastic these days.  I've never actually tried but I suspect 
that it will not tear as easily as paper and, with wet hands, will be 
impossible to rip.  And you know what they say about taking scissors into the 
shower.

Re: Grey Heron (continued)

2024-03-31 Thread Alan C
Interesting. The African sub-species has black legs all the year round. 
The yellow bill darkens partly during the breeding season.


We have another slightly smaller one here (the Yellowbilled Egret - 
still much bigger than the Little Egret) which is more like the one you 
describe.


I'll  be on the look out!

Here a picture I took here some years ago (in breeding period) of two

Larry, if you watch the WildEarth channel you will see plenty of that. 
Man is just as bad but nowadays the prey animals & birds are (hopefully) 
killed in a more civilized fashion. I wonder how many people realise 
that a juicy steak was once part of a living animal? Then we have the 
Vegans who are totally opposed to man being at the top of a food chain. 
Haven't heard them complaining about the Lions or Orcas yet!

Thanks for your comments. We spent a W/E at a rustic lodge in the area. 
Unfortunately it was very hot (over 40°C every day) - thank goodness for 
aircons!


The back lighting & glare was terrible. That's about as good as I could 
get. Also, the shutter speed was a bit slow (1/1000) for H/H at 500mm.


Lake Panic is an impoundment on a tributary of the Sabi River which runs 
past the Skukuza Camp. The bird hide is on a bend in the upper reaches - 
a Mecca for bird photographers who sit there in numbers for the whole 
day with their long lenses. Various animals appear on the banks too. Not 
my scene at all - we just paid a short visit.

Re: Rediscovering the world's largest cormorant ...

2024-03-21 Thread Bob W PDML
Beautiful plumage.

It’s a fascinating article, thanks for posting it.

Incidentally, it’s not extinct, merely pinin’ for the fjords. My understanding 
is that there is a breeding colony of them, descended from Genghis Khan’s 
flock, still living in a secret location not unadjacent to Ulan Bator, and 
everyone who buys one of the new Pentax film cameras will receive a free 
Spectacled* Cormorant**.

Interesting indeed. Darters are unknown species in our area.
About sharpness: with most Pentax camera's I think there is only one 
acceptable setting for wild life that is AF-S with spot AF aiming for 
the eyes while saying a little prayer .

Funny, all the unsolicited reels offered to me on instagram are about

My late dog was always ready to fight with cats, wheras animals in our

Re: PESO: Grey Heron

Very nice! I think Herons make great subjects because of their alertness and 
the way they pause (to look for prey) rather than being in continuous motion. 
It’s always nice to see images of these impressive birds,
