Re: GESO PGH29
On the Upper Mississippi (and probable the Ohio River, too) they're called a tow, even though they push their load. Years ago I had an opportunity to photograph a short trip delivering coal to a power plant, the slides from which are probably residing in my ex's basement. As I remember, the assembly of barges was four wide and six long, with everything cabled together so it acted like a large, shallow-draft boat. -p On 5/21/2015 12:40 PM, Alan C wrote: You're dead right!

Sydney Wildlife Zoo is another Sydney attraction I've yet to see… You can get a multi-pass for several attractions… at the time I booked I think we wanted to see 4 of them but there was no extra cost beyond 3 so we dld all 5.

Re: GESO: Pentax Q close-up work.
The longer the lens the better, is my first reaction. But I hope to do more testing over the weekend. The posted ones were shot at my desk at my day job. So glad you found them useful.

I've been debating with myself whether to get a set of those tubes ever since Mark posted his Q macros previously. I see you were using the 5-15 and the 15-45. Any conclusions on how well the various tube lengths work on each lens? -- Cheers Brian -- 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.
