Re: Pittsburgh
What a city! I have never seen anything remotely like that. Alan C On 14-May-24 04:32 AM, Rick Womer wrote: We took a short trip to Pittsburgh last month, and were able to enjoy this pleasant city in beautiful weather. The city is where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio River, which flows west to the Mississippi River. My family had driven through Pittsburgh when I was a child, and I remember smoke and steel mills. Now only one steel mill remains, the smoke is gone, and the city is prosperous. The views are excellent from Mount Washington, an escarpment south of the downtown area, served by two pairs of antique funicular rail cars (we went up and down the Duquesne Incline; the other (Monangahela Incline, about a mile away) was closed. The visible bridges are among 446 in Pittsburgh, the most of any city in the world (and 3x the number in Venice).

Re: PESO: Bellbird
So there is no problem with camera shake. I still use the Jack Davis formula TAV, 1/2000sec, f8 with my 170-500 for H/H at full stretch but still, like you, I find the AF screw drive somewhat lacking & seldom manage successful quick grabs. Too much glass for quick focus. The new PLM's are greased lightning by comparison but my budget won't stretch that far. I get a success rate of only about 10% shooting aerobatics. Thank goodness for digital. My 55-300 behaves much better. Alan C On 12-May-24 12:09 AM, David Mann wrote: On May 12, 2024, at 5:56 AM, Alan Cole wrote: Dave, what was the shutter speed? 1/3000th.

Re: PESO: A strange looking bird
Rick Thanks for your comments. We spent a W/E at a rustic lodge in the area. Unfortunately it was very hot (over 40°C every day) - thank goodness for aircons! The back lighting & glare was terrible.

The bird hide is on a bend in the upper reaches - a Mecca for bird photographers who sit there in numbers for the whole day with their long lenses. Various animals appear on the banks too.

The new version of lightroom does make it easier for me to duplicate and modify masks, so when I get a chance, I can try a version with more saturation, contrast and clarity in the milky way.

Re: Way OT Astro stuff
Very interesting, Marco & excellent images. Looks like the JWT has some competition! Alan C On 08-Jan-24 10:20 PM, Marco Alpert wrote: Although this has absolutely nothing to do with Pentax, since Larry brought up astro-imaging, I can’t resist showing the initial results of something that has really reenergized my passion for astronomy. Although I’ve owned a couple of really nice telescopes since the early 90s (which were great for visual observation when I lived on top of a not-too-light-polluted hill and could just roll the scopes out to the driveway to observe), since we moved to the Sacramento area, the combination of light pollution (around Bortle 7 for anyone who knows what that means), and the increasing difficulty of lugging them out to set up had pretty much ended observation for me (and I was never particularly interested in the intricacies of astrophotography). Then, a few months ago, I acquired a small, inexpensive, “robotic” scope for what is called EAA (electronically assisted astronomy) that promises the ability to visually observe in light-polluted areas (albeit on the screen of a phone or tablet) as well as offer much simplified photography. Here are a few of my first results: M33 Galaxy in Triangulum:https://flic.kr/p/2pgYEEb NGC 7635 Bubble Nebula in Cassiopeia:https://flic.kr/p/2prm5Qg NGC 1499 California Nebula in Perseus:https://flic.kr/p/2prkrFu This little gizmo has only a 50mm (~2 in) objective (which is tiny for deep sky objects) and has the ability, controlled by a phone or tablet, to automatically find and slew to whatever object you tell it to and begin taking a series of 10 second exposures. Let it keep doing this as long as you want and watch the object appear on the phone or tablet with more and more detail as the successive exposures are stacked and processed. I did do some post-processing on these, but as I have exactly zero experience with astrophotography, it’s pretty primitive compared to what’s possible. So, a telescope with a built-in computer-controlled alt/az mount, a digital astro-camera, auto-focuser, dew heater, multiple filters, small carbon-fiber tripod and a fairly nice case, for about $500.

I figure that I'm about $160 into them for materials, $90 for the cases, $50 for the foam, and the rest is things like reflective tape, sales tax etc. I'm not counting tools that I used the project as an excuse to buy, like the $60 cordless multitool. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1JTA4jxGw4mniNQX9 The first case (orange) https://photos.app.goo.gl/qBJiJwnhtBrd4w658 has room for a body, and pretty much all of my "not huge" lenses that'll work on a "full frame" sensor. My DA35 macro does vignette a bit, but it's too handy and small not to include. The second case (blue) https://photos.app.goo.gl/9Un7aQKeLi8an3x97 has my "huge" lenses, the ones that are so big and heavy that they'd take the space of three other lenses in another case. The third case (green) https://photos.app.goo.gl/D3iXF4SRuaAskBZUA https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZCwh5KaydiieU4a59 Is nominally my APS case. It has my K-3, and my APS lenses (16-50, 18-270, 55-300), but since when I'm traveling I generally keep my long lens (bigma) on the K-3 and wider glass on the K-1, I set it up so that I can also carry the K-3 with either the bigma or the 70-200, so it'll be ready to go if I see an interesting critter I want to snap. I'll eventually cut compartments for other things, like flash accessories. I suspect that before too awful long I'll need to buy another chunk or two of foam and redo them as my needs change, and/or I learn more things that I didn't do quite right for my needs. I wouldn't use these cases when flying, but then I wouldn't ever check my cameras as baggage.

Re: Good find today (not Pentax)
That's very interesting. A German masterpiece. My first SLR was a Pentax S1a which I bought in 1962 when I was at university. It came with a SuperTak 55/2. Later I added a 135/3.5 & a Vivitar 2x TC. It served me well for about 20 years until the cloth shutter ripped. By then the Spotmatics were all the rage but I couldn’t afford one. Fortunately, a shop in Pretoria had a closing-out sale of Praktica MTL5B’s for a mere R110 so I snapped one up & was back in business with my Pentax lenses. It was built like a tank & worked the same as a Spotmatic. I recently sold the whole rig to a lady in Cape Town where film is still alive & well. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/53223634555/ Scroll L for another.

Re: PANO: East & West Bankers
Stan The whole thing hinges on water & food supply. Adult Ellies consume plenty - at least 50L water & 50Kg food per day. The family groups are all matriarchal. The adult, breeding bulls live separately & only join the herds when in musth. In former years wind pumps were erected all over the park to feed artificial water holes from boreholes. The Ellie herds could then roam between them in the dry season. The downside was that Lions (who live in prides to defend a water supply) moved into areas where they could not normally survive. They decimated the rare Roan antelope in the drier northern part of the Park. So, all the pumps were closed down. The Lions left & the Roan have begun to recover. The Ellies are forced to live near permanent water supplies in the drier time of the year. During this period the big herds split into smaller groups (high efficiency with apprentice matriarchs?) which forage for food (mostly Mopani scrub) over a wide area around the dam. So, yes, they will merge when the rainy season arrives because water & food will be available over a bigger area & we won't see much of them until the next dry season. The small herds have become very tolerant of motor vehicles. Some days there are many vehicles trapped at the North end for a couple of hours while the Ellies do their thing. They wander unconcerned between them & even peer inside! Bulls in Musth are another thing altogether - very dangerous & should be avoided. Many vehicles have been damaged, even rolled over, because stupid tourists got too close. Alan C P.S. Some Roan Bulls were imported from Zimbabwe to increase the gene pool & a herd of about 30 has recently been spotted at Tsendze about 100Km north of here which is good news. The biggest headache in the Park today is poaching. In spite of all their efforts, they are still losing a lot of Rhinos. People in Oriental countries believe powdered horn is an aphrodisiac & will pay a lot to get it. The poachers are now targeting Big Tusker Ellie Bulls too. There are only about 2000 Rhinos and 12000 Ellies left in Kruger now. On 06-Sep-23 05:53 PM, Stanley Halpin wrote: Alan - nice image!

Awakened my slumbering camera today. The birds seem to think it is spring already but they are almost certainly in for a surprise. Captured this Goldentailed Woodpecker at work in deep shade on my Oak Tree (Quercus Robustus) this morning. It managed to hammer all the bark off a dead branch in its quest for a snack. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/53083730740/ K5 & HD 55-300 @300mm, f5.8, ISO320.

Re: GESO - Walk Along Kelly Drive

Re: IR Photography

Re: IR Photography
Interesting. To me it is more of an art form than serious photography. Many moons ago I tried a couple of rolls of B/W IR film. Needed a special filter to block out visible light - made a slide on holder from thin cardboard. Exposures were around f8 from about 0.5 to 5 sec (pot luck!) which made a tripod mandatory - still have the very same tripod. Manual guesstimate timing on "B" with a cable release. Focusing was a nightmare because the filter was so dark I had to focus without the filter & then slide it in and adjust to the IR mark on my Supertak 55/2 (which I still have!). Pity I didn't think of Larry's sticky tape astro method to lock the focus. Only 2 or 3 shots out of the 48 were even on the verge of acceptability so that was the end of my adventure.

First thing I've noticed is it doesn't seem to work very well if it's not bright sunlight. Test shots I took indoors don't show ANY image unless I boost the ISO way high & use high exposure compensation. So you have it blocking all visible light? "IF" I understand what they did, they replaced the regular IR filter with another filter that passes IR below 665nm so that I get visible light PLUS the upper end of the IR spectrum ... ??? You *should* be able to get shots indoors just as you would with a standard camera. IR is supposed to be really good for harsh daylight (shooting in the middle of the day), so I took it out from 1:00 to 3:00 today to photograph a field of sunflowers that are just coming into bloom. I had it at F8 using the SMC Pentax-DA 1:1.8 50mm lens it seems like everything is really soft (out of focus?) except for stuff out on the horizon. I've got to go out and make another test, but anyone got ideas? You'll need to focus based on the live view, which is what the sensor sees, either that or manually focus based ton the distance scale and the little red dot that shows the IR focus point. The autofocus system focuses for the visual spectrum, but IR focuses differently. H? The K20D has live view? Hmmm, that’s an issue. Maybe take some test shots and look at the preview screen zoomed in. If you photograph under LED or fluorescent light there should be no IR. -- Vivere in aeternum aut mori conatur -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email topdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email topdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

While I was in the hospital, my classic Italian sports car—the 1967 Lancia
Fulvia Coupé—was in the body shop having some rust repair of the rocker panels
done. I'm out of the hospital now, and Signora Fulvia is also back at home.
In the course of doing the rust repair, I changed its looks a little bit by
painting the rocker panels a textured flat black, instead of the matched tan
body color, and removed the original chrome trim strips that ran under the
doors on both sides.
The result came out just as I'd hoped: A slightly trimmer, sportier look and
more in keeping with the early '70s Cromodora wheels that I've now got fitted
than the late '60s Campagnolo rally wheels that I'd had on the car before.
https://flic.kr/p/2oLFwr7 :: Fulvia, Refinish Rocker Panels
While that was being done, I had also located the original badging for the rear
("LANCIA Fulvia" in fine chrome on the transom) and a pair of the 'bumper
support' caps that cover the spots in the bodywork where the rear bumper supports used to
come through…

…because everyone, or at least *almost* everyone, with a Lancia Fulvia Coupé
removes the bumpers to make the car look more like the Lancia Fulvia rally cars
that won so many races in the late 1960s-early 1970s. :)
Photos made with iPhone 11 Pro using the Moment camera app, raw output, and
rendered in Lightroom Classic.
Oh yes: My partner, Felipe, picked the car up for me a few days before I
returned home. He made a few snaps of it with his phone to show me what had
been done. I put them together into a short video presentation, just for the
fun of it:

Re: Life Update:
You know, it doesn't have to be. A good friend of mine in Phalaborwa has recently retired from Palabora Mining Company with 40 years service. He & his wife decided to move to the Eastern Cape. They did their homework & planned to sell everything apart from personal & special items & buy new at the other end, saving astronomical transport costs. They were miraculously able to sell their furnished house, boat, bakkie & motocycle in a few days, all for cash, & are staying in rented accommodation for a couple on months until their new unit in a secure complex is ready for occupation. While this may be very exceptional, it shows what can be done to ease the pain. Alan C On 13-May-23 02:44 AM, Rick Womer wrote: Moving is agony. We’ve been fortunate in not doing it in 37 years.

Re: GESO two trees critters
Yes, Larry, harassing the lizards & asses! The combination works well &, as you say, versatile & capable (light too). Several members of the local Pentax group use the 18-270 & some the older 18-250 screw drive too. I use my 55-300 HD on the K5 as a walk-around lens with great success. Never use a tripod.

All of these photos were with the K-3 III and 18-270, which seem to be a reasonably versatile and capable combination. I did bring my new Heipi tripod out for the walk, but kept it strapped to my lowepro fanny pack the whole time. It is definitely nice in terms of being relatively light and compact. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720308215873 Comments, critiques and IDs appreciated. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Broad Street Photo-Walk
Rick, that is a splendid gallery. Well worth the walk! Nothing like that around here - some in the old cities like Cape Town, Bloemfontein & Pretoria. Even the Kruger Park is disappointing at the moment. The bush is still so dense after the very high rainfall we have had this season. Even an Elephant is hard to find a mere 20m off the road & the dry season water points are abandoned with so many pools all over the place.
