Re: I don't understand...
It's not just older versions of Lightroom - Google's API change affects any older software that uses Google Maps as a map interface. My Zoner Photo Studio 17&18 are similarly affected. Fortunately the map interface in the trial version of Zoner's current offering has been updated to support the new API - so I use that for geotagging.

December PUG is up
G'day all, A bit larger gallery this month. Some excellent work, as usual - Ken's "Show Me the Monet" is one favourite (great title too!).

View here: http://pug.komkon.org/ (you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery there). Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not infallible. So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the gallery, let me know. + Next up: 'Gathering'.

My wife and I recently did a road trip around New South Wales. One of the places we visited was Mungo National Park. part of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Willandra Lakes Region. It's a wondrous place, not just for the spectacular, eroded landforms - archeological work has established evidence of human occupation here, dating back at least 40,000 years.

Sonorous just means giving out or capable of giving out a sound, especially a deep, resonant sound, as a thing or place: A photo of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia would fit & doesn't someone from the list live in Philadelphia? Maybe the inside of a basketball arena.

I don't think that's the problem. The issue is that participation in the PUG has been tending downwards over the past year or two and the majority of themes haven't been too demanding. I just have the strong suspicion that a theme like 'Sonorous interiors' will get little support. Happy to include it but I'd need some serious encouragement from the list to do so.

October PUG is UP!
G'day all, Another smallish gallery this month. Some good stuff there. My favs - Don's 'Big Wheel Keep On Turning' - great colour and the boy next to the loco emphasises the size - and Pete's 'Larry Keeping a Weather Eye' - yes, a cat!, but forming an almost perfect circle. View here: http://pug.komkon.org/ (you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery there). Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not infallible. So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the gallery, let me know. + Next up: 'Upon Closer Examination'. Full Submissions Guidelines here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html You can submit here: http://pug.komkon.org/submit/ Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO - Shingleback
Thanks for those comments, Igor That was a great day we had with you, Jane & Rob - can't believe it was 8 years ago! We also have turtles that have to be rescued from roads - not often, fortunately although with the current very dry conditions we're experiencing it could be more common this year as they try to find new water holes. Thanks to everyone else who looked and commented. Cheers, Brian ++ > On 13 September 2018 at 03:40 Igor PDML-StR wrote: > > > > That's a very interesting creature.

PESO - Shingleback
I haven't PESOed for quite a while... Shinglebacks - I love these guys. They are the most endearing creatures but they have the unfortunate habit of deciding that the warm bitumen of country roads is a great place to soak up heat - with predictable consequences. I often stop and move them off to a safer location but they don't always appreciate my efforts. One or two have even peed on me :-) Not a great photo but maybe a creature many of you wouldn't have seen before.

Every time Prickly Pear is mentioned it brings to mind the devastation that the plant caused to farmland in Australia in the early part of the 20th century. It was introduced here in mid 1800s and at its peak in the late 1920s covered almost 25 million hectares. In one of the most spectacular examples of biological control, it was tamed by millions of larvae of a moth (appropriately named Cactoblastis) which chomped their way through the prickly pest. There is even a memorial to the Cactoblastis moth: http://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/disaster/plagues/display/91971-cactoblastis-memorial Cheers Brian ++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ https://500px.com/supera1000/galleries -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
