Re: Did anyone get Aurora photos?

[John Sessoms]

I was up in Great Smokey Mountains National Park for a long weekend, but 
there was fairly heavy overcast.


Lots of people up at Newfound Gap on Saturday night showed me their 
great cell phone photos & videos they'd taken on Friday night


... when I was asleep in Pigeon Forge. But I don't think I missed 
anything because it was overcast & raining in Pigeon Forge Friday night too.


Bright & sunny most of the day, but the clouds rolled in right around 
sunset.

Re: PESO: Bellbird

It's not the greatest of photos but it's the best of the ones I took.

I like the image.

Re: Problems reading SD cards

[John Sessoms]

UPDATE: It appears the problem WAS in the card reader. I still haven't 
figured out why it was only affecting cards from the K-3?

Re: Holiday photos

[Stanley Halpin]

Very nice Mark!  I’ve noted your posts on social media have focused on 
performing an assessment of as many distilleries as possible in a short time 
period. I am glad to see that you did have time for photography as well!

We will be visiting several coastal towns in Scotland this July (in a small 
cruise ship, on our way to some fjords in Norway). The closest stop to Islay 
for us will be the Isle of Mull, just a bit further north. I am hoping for 
photo opportunities similar to yours.

Very late reply:

NOT a fault with the camera, but with the brain behind the eye behind

Re: Holiday photos

That looks like a really nice spot, and some nice photos. 

The ‘out of order’ sign on the stamp machine is pretty definitive isn’t it - if 
they make it out of cast iron I’d say they don’t plan on fixing the machine! 
I’d forgotten stamp machines even existed, haven’t seen one for decades.

Holiday photos

[Mark Roberts]

Part 1 of our UK trip is done and I've uploaded a rough cut of photos.
Since this is a walking holiday I left the full-frame kit at home and
these were all taken with the K-3ii and either the DA 16-50/2.8 or the
55-300WR (both really superb lenses). These are all from the Isle of
Islay in Scotland (and, yes, I did a good amount of Scotch tasting
along the way).

https://www.flickr.com/photos/166715344@N04/albums/72177720316943057/

More than a few times I've found myself wishing I'd brought the DA
12-24 (if Pentax were to make a weather sealed version of this lens
I'd buy it in a heartbeat).

Next: Getting on a train to Ulverston in the lake district for the
serious walking stage of our trip.

Re: OT. OM-5 first impressions

[Larry Colen]

Another weird thing about the camera I noticed on my hike is that if you're 
shooting in "non-silent" mode, it doesn't just make the shutter sound with a 
speaker, there's some haptic bump to the camera.  I guess if what you care 
about is whether it feels like a film camera that's nice, if however you care 
about image sharpness, then something that bumps the camera around while you're 
taking photos can't be good.

I wasn't planning on it, but I'll try to give it a try. If I really care enough 
about image quality on a shot to do that, I'll use my K-1.  Although in 
retrospect, it might actually make a stop or two difference in noise/dynamic 
range.

I was debating which to get and the impression I got (which is why I got the 
OM-5), is that if you don't have either, it's worth while buying the OM-5, but 
it's not worth trading in for.  Unless of course you want an excuse to get a 
new camera.  :-)
