GESO - Hood Ornaments
Visited a car museum today - a handful of hood ornaments for your viewing pleasure: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/hood-ornaments All taken with the K1 and 28-105, f3.5-5.6. All shot with available light. K1 high ISO performance is pretty impressive.

Re: PESO - fiddle study 3
Thank you, Larry. I was initially put off by that small detail, but I later realized it made the image unique and added a strange little touch that I decided to just leave as-is.

I think if you convert that to BW and up the contrast in the shadows a bit it would look less muddy. But the juxtaposition of camera guy capturing the bird, dog and the person with the tripod missing the scene - just super!

Re: LR 6.10 warning
Not seeing anything relating to larry's issues. I will test myself. I just updated to 10.1. Customer reported issues resolved Edit in Photoshop Erroneous Message Fixed Fixed issue causing color cast on images from some Fujifilm X series cameras shot in CH/CL modes. Fixed issue where images taken on the Fujifilm GFX 50s with top 3 extended ISOs appear over exposed. Fixed issue where some images converted to DNG from the Hasselblad H6 contained a color cast. Fixed issue with Hasselblad X1D images losing highlight details at high ISOs. Known Issues We have an issue where customers are unable to use the Develop module with GPU enabled. This only occurs when using an AMD graphics card using driver Version 17.4.4 (released 4/23/2017) on Windows. Please see this note for more details and workarounds.

Third party DLI-90 suggestions?
Larry, good observation with the 2-pins on the DSTE Charger vs 3-pins on the Pentax original. Here is the surprise. When you slide off the interchangeable top plate - optional plates for all manufacturer's models are available for $ 2 - you notice there are actually 3 pins below. So don't know why they did not provide 3-pins on the top plate? May the Force be with you. Bipin. The whole goddamn world is turning insane.

If the 3rd party battery weighs as much as the Pentax original then it will hold 1600 to 1800 mAh. Why I say this? I won a bid from ebay Canada for a no name brand DLI 90 for CAD 2.20 with Free shipping. It was surprisingly very light - about half the weight of the original. But hey, it still works albeit with just 1/4 staying power. Regards. Bipin B.
