Re: PESO: Some old iron and a great lens

That’s a beautiful shot, Ralf; nice composition, nice colors (I like the series of reds going across the frame: shelter, locomotive, overhang, signal light; and the greens in the carriages and trees). The rather ominous-looking sky adds a nice touch, too. Rick > On Mar 11, 2020, at 4:57 PM, Ra

RE: Exposure techniques

It's not the cost of storage, it's the amount of time spent in reviewing multiple images! Larry, I don't agree with your original statement that early Pentax cameras were bad at metering, the vast majority of the images I shot with my *ist-D did not need much, if any, exposure adjustment in PP.

PESO: Some old iron and a great lens

Had been rummaging around in old negative scans and found this here. One of those photos which can no longer be taken because the engine and the carriages have been scrapped years ago. Captured this scene in Luxemburg in 1998 with a P50 and a SMC-A 4/28-135 mm zoom which was a really fine lens, th

PESO: Lichen

This is the most boring photo I have taken in months -- and I have taken some real yawn-provokers. For some reason, however, this blob of lichen growing on the brick of my front steps caught my attention, and for some other inexplicable reason the patterns and textures in the image appeal to me.

Re: Exposure techniques

If you shoot RAW, much more tonal data is preserved. Nothing is clipped. Incorrectly exposed images can usually be brought up in PP.  In fact you do edit the unwanted images on the camera. If you shoot RAW, there is only one image to edit, albeit on the computer. I agree that if you discard the
