Re: PESO: Nicolaus Grocery
That scene is very reminiscent of many of the smaller highveld towns around Jo'burg. The shabby paintwork, the convoluted electrical wiring periodic alterations to the building itself.

PESO - Tree Swallow
Excuse the banal (if descriptive) title. Also excuse the fact that it's yet another tree swallow. However I really like them; I think they're beautiful and I love their colour. They are plentiful down at the lake and they sit still long enough early morning (not so much during the day) that I can often get a decent shot. I'd never really seen them until we moved here a few years ago so I guess they're still a novelty to me. Finally, the light was quite nice this morning and I think it really showed off the irredescent blue nicely. So, after all that: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/05/tree-swallow.html?m=1 In other exciting news I saw several turkey vultures soaring high above me. Got some shots but with only a 200mm they're awfully small on the screen. Might be able to do something with them. We'll see. Anyway, hope you like this little swallow. Comments always welcome.

Re: PESO - Tree Swallow
I don't blame you, Frank. That is a beautiful bird, and you captured its color very well. If I saw goldfinches everyday, I'd photograph them.

OT - Canon PIXMA iX6520 mini review. (Kinda long but still mini).
As the usual suspects here may remember some months ago my beloved and somewhat under used HP B8550 wide carriage photo printer jammed solid, and nothing I was able to do got it unjammed. It still sits in my work area, on it's own little table across my work area from my desktop, while I decide what to do with it. I kind of want to send it to HP in hopes of it being repaired, but that almost makes no economic sense, I bought it near the end of it's product life and if I include shipping costs it will probably cost more that I paid for it to get an estimate. In the mean time I replaced it, almost by accident, with the Canon PIXMA iX6520, and here is a mini review. /Relevant/ Technical Specifications*; 4 color CMYK, (four dye including photo black, one pigment black for documents), ink system. Resolution Color 9600x2400 dpi Black 600x600 dpi Minimum/Maximum Paper Size: 2.16x3.58 (55x91mm) / 13 x 19 (33x48cm) Minimum/Maximum Paper Weight: 64gsm/280gsm USB 2.0 (High Speed) Print Speed 4x6 Color print ~37 seconds. BW Document 11.3 PPM Color Document 8.5 PPM The mini review: It works as advertised, thanks for reading... OK, so there's more to it than that. Warning there will be some references to the semi dead HPB8550, (hereafter refereed to as the HP) printer as well. I've been using the Canon PIXMA iX6520 as a dedicated Photo Printer, hereafter to be refereed to as the PIXMA or the Canon, for about 6 months now and it's really quite good at it's job. There are no frills, it's usb only and unless you share if from the computer it's attached to there is no network printing, (though it works fine shared on a network), Unlike the HP it has no built in display, card reader, USB port for jump drives, or a control panel, (beyond two lighted silver buttons, [On/Off and Pause/Resume which also doubles an alert display]), I do kind of miss those, but then again I only paid $100.00 plus tax for it. Unless you are going to use it networked setup is a snap. Networking on a Windows network at least is a bit more difficult, but that's a Windows thing, I haven't tried it with Linux or any flavor of MAC. Paper feeding is very reliable, for a printer in this class, (I'll say inexpensive rather than cheap), in the past I've occasionally, had even the best photo capable printers I've used feed more than one page, in the middle of a run of multiple prints, that's not happened with the PIXMA so far, (it only happened with plain paper with the HP B8550 once that I remember but it happened, after which I didn't fully trust it). Ink usage is average. I haven't printed enough to use up the black cartridges from my initial ink set, it's close on the Photo Black though), I'm on my second set of color inks. As others have noted inkjet inks seem to last longer if you print on a regular basis, I've been trying to find at least one thing I want to print a week, even if it's only 4x6. I've been recording my print production, by surface area, in a spread sheet, so sometime in the future, probably when this particular printer is no longer available, I'll be able to definitively say how many square inches of photograph this printer will give you per set of inks. The prints very good, better than those I get could usually get from even an a professional photo finisher, in my opinion. If I can manage to get an image to look good on my desktop monitor, it will look good, and mostly identical, on glossy and satin paper. The sole exception is that sometimes shadow areas will appear a bit, um, well flat. I'm not sure if that wouldn't be true with any translation from a lit display to a reflected light print. This is an improvement over the HP . where shadow areas tended to get a bit muddy. Black and White printing on this printer is actually wonderful. Earlier, less expensive Epsons, and every HP printer, I've ever worked with. that did not have a dedicated BW ink set, always imparted some kind of color cast, usually an objectionable magenta cast, to the finished BW print. I would deal with by adding my own faux sepia or platinum toning. The PIXMA doesn't seem to have that problem. There is some color cast but seems to be more in the nature of the paper. I've found that the Canon paper seems to give a more neutral black, a Bromide paper look, while the Ilford paper give a warmer more Chlorobromide look. Unlike my previous experience the images are quite pleasing without adding an offsetting tint. I have a few other papers to play with but haven't gotten around to trying BW printing with them. That brings me to print longevity, and I haven't a clue. I say this because I've had prints under glass that were supposed to be good for 75+ years fade in less than 5. That said, Canon seems to claim 100 years with their inks and paper, but I don't use Canon paper, except in 4x6 size, and I only use that because unlike HP when you buy a

Re: PESO - Tree Swallow
Thanks, Walt. The turkey vultures were circling high overhead and looked quite majestic from that distance with their big wings, feathers splayed. I know we have them up here in the warm months, but obviously not as plentiful as down there. Love goldfinches! We have lots of those but they keep their distance enough that they're tough to get with a 200mm. Tree swallows are about the size of goldfinches, but sometimes they'll let me get as close as 15 feet or less (if I'm very, very quiet and move very, very slowly), close enough that I didn't have to crop much off this one.

Re: PESO - Tree Swallow
Frank, All this discussion and the photos reminded me of some tree swallows I have from 2005 with the *ist DS. https://picasaweb.google.com/115638976374047590388/NestingTreeSwallows# Cute little buggers, well protected by Mom Dad who were buzzing me like crazy. Regards, Bob S. On Sat, May 25, 2013 at 9:40 AM, knarftheria...@gmail.com knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: Excuse the banal (if descriptive) title. Also excuse the fact that it's yet another tree swallow. However I really like them; I think they're beautiful and I love their colour. They are plentiful down at the lake and they sit still long enough early morning (not so much during the day) that I can often get a decent shot. I'd never really seen them until we moved here a few years ago so I guess they're still a novelty to me. Finally, the light was quite nice this morning and I think it really showed off the irredescent blue nicely. So, after all that: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/05/tree-swallow.html?m=1 In other exciting news I saw several turkey vultures soaring high above me. Got some shots but with only a 200mm they're awfully small on the screen. Might be able to do something with them. We'll see. Anyway, hope you like this little swallow. Comments always welcome.

Hi Rick, Thanks, I don't think I had seen one either until I put that one together :) The problem was that I was working at about f5.6 min due to the lack of tripod/rush, so DOF was limited so on many of the subjects which have quite a bit of depth so the plane of focus needed to be selected to make best use of the relatively limited DOF.
