Permit me to second Ken. I’ve only been to of the Grandfather Mtn weekends;
Don was very friendly at the first, and greeted me warmly by name at the
second. We occasionally exchanged emails after that. Doug, your tribute was
spot-on, and beautifully written (as usual).

2 large mugs of coffee on the morning.

A large mug of strong tea (PG Tips) in the afternoon.

Wine or beer with dinner.

A cup of decaf after dinner 2-3 times a week.

Keeping all of the bases covered...

PESO 2018 - 043 - GDG

2018-06-22 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
I had a fun day yesterday visiting the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art 
(SFMOMA) with a friend. We spent most of our visit in the Magritte exhibition 
... which I strongly recommend to anyone in the area who enjoys fantastic art 
of any kind. 

It was a bit of an inspiration when we came across this room full of superb 
constructions. I just had to do a take on it from the perspective of 
re-capturing art with a extended surrealist meme floating in my head... :)

Re: Birds in Northern California (so far)

2018-06-22 Thread Ken Waller

Exposures look ok but the focus is off on several.

Kenneth Waller
http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller

- Original Message - 
From: "Larry Colen" 

Subject: Birds in Northern California (so far)


I'm on a trip to Oregon to deal with parental issues. On my way up I 
went to a tango event in McCloud (Mt Shasta).  Here are a bunch of 
photos taken at several places, a rest stop south of Willows, the Sac 
wildlife reserve, a casino north of willows, and McCloud.
Someone has already helped me identify the Western Kingbird, and the 
flick.  If anyone can ID other birds in the set, that would be awesome.


I think that both the black and the brown birds (at the rest stop) are 
blackbirds, and that I have a bunch of sparrows from all over. The 
pinkish pigeon might be a mourning dove.


https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157697754864334

After grabbing a snack at Floyd's frosty (surprisingly good burgers by 
the way) I saw some hummers and was taking photos of them when someone 
told me about the flick in the pole in front of Floyd's. The photos of 
the flick, the nest with the metal background and the hummers were taken 
with the DA55-300, most of the rest with the sigma 50-500.


If anyone is really curious, the proofset is at:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157698251824285

It is less convenient to do processing on the road, I'm hoping to do 
final edits when I get home. In the mean time, I've got a cheap monitor 
as a secondary display, and photos on it seem a lot brighter than on my 
laptop display (a bit over exposed) so feedback on general exposure of 
the photos would be appreciated.

Great find. In the article they claim six cups. That would be for an
