PESO: jacobin cuckoo

also called the pied cuckoo. it is a resident in south india but is
partially migratory and in north india is considered a
harbinger of the monsoon rains due to the timing of its
arrival.

Several hours? What is it doing! Thumbing through the phone book? My Spyder 5 
nails it in about 10 minutes. I think my Spyder 2 required 20 minutes. Both 
achieved excellent calibration.

I'm using a Spyder 2 with third party software called DisplayCal.

It does a lot of things the original software didn't, in addition to 
allowing the Spyder, to be used to calibrate multiple monitors.


It just takes a very long time to do it's job, several hours on my 
machine at least.


On the other hand the entire calibration setup was more or less free to 
me so I can't complain to much, but that won't stop me from complaining 
a bit.

Too much road and background for me. Not much motorcycle. The public road is 
obvious, IMO. But it’s purely subjective. It is technically good.

Help what, exactly?

Tighter framing often obliterates the fact that this is racing on public roads. 
Sort of the point of my photo... :-)

PESOs A different take

2018-08-31 Thread Paul Stenquist
I’ve posted similar pic before, but I went with a slightly different setup 
today. No 1.4X converter, just the D FA 150-450 on the K-1. That means I have 
to crop more aggressively, but I get a bigger ap and reduced ISO. Both at 
450mm.
