Re: Any Bright Ideas?

[P. J. Alling]

I don't know if this will help or not but there's a posting on the 
Pentax Fora on K-3 debug mode.


https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/172-pentax-k-3/273233-pentax-k-3-debug-menu-fyi.html

I'll tell you two things, firstly, be careful you could brick the 
camera, secondly, when my K-5II was behaving err. badly, I found the 
debug mode for that camera and enabled it, (it's different than the K-3 
is all I remember), and without a manual it was singularly unhelpful.  
Heck for all I could tell it would have been singularly unhelpful if I 
had a repair manual.


Good luck no matter what you do.

Re: January PUG is up

[Scott Loveless]

Verruh nas!  A few of my favorites:

Matt's Destin Thunderstom is quite dramatic.  Very nicely done.
Patrick's Stormy Clarens.  This seems to impart feelings of strife and
melancholy.
Brian's Storm Approaching.  I really like the composition and the
contrast in the sky.  I only wish the foreground was a bit more
illuminated.
Rick's Squall Line.  This may be my favorite-est.  My only possible
complaint is the swimming platform should have been closer.  But I
understand why Rick didn't want to wade out there right at that
moment...

That's a great gallery this month - so well done - great shots everyone. 
Particularly liked Peter Alling's 'Ice Storm', Matthew Hunt's 'Destin 
Thunderstorm', Patrick Nelson's 'Stormy Clarens', and Rick Womer's Squall Line' 
- but again, all the rest of such great quality as well.

Inspirational each and every one!

Re: January PUG is up

[Stanley Halpin]

All good! Thanks again for your efforts Brian. I also like the mood in 
Patrick’s image. And I quite like the lines in Subash’s monsoon shot, the beach 
in the foreground works well. 
 Ann’s snowfall shot puts me right into a situation I have been many times; I 
am so happy to have retired and so can just hibernate when faced with such 
conditions! Great image, not so great memories.

Re: January PUG is up

[Daniel J. Matyola]

That is a very fine gallery indeed!

I agree;  Matthew Hunt's "Destin Thunderstorm" is electrifying and
dramatic.  The Pick of the litter.

I also love the quiet minimalism of "Foggy Morning" by Paul Stenquist and
the frigid atmosphere of AnnSan's "City Snow."

Any Bright Ideas?

[Alan C]

For the K3 boffins:

I have been given a K3ii body. It was apparently "sprayed" by a wave at 
the coast. Unfortunately the mirror stays down (I can move it up 
manually so it is not stuck) & AF doesn't work with a screw drive or HSM 
lens. If I select LV, the screen is black because the mirror is down. 
Because of the mirror problem, the shutter won't fire. All other 
functions seem to be OK. I can make any adjustmets in the menus & can 
view images already on an SD card. I reset the camera to defaults which 
didn't help. The camera still has the original firmware.
