Hi guys, I'm still around, but keeping quiet as I usually do. We're currently half-way through stage 4 COVID lockdown here in Melbourne (mandatory masks, exercise 1 hour/day max, 1 shopping trip/day by 1 person max, 20:00-05:00 curfew). So, to relieve the boredom a bit, I've been walking

thank you Alan. with a 100mm you have to get fairly close but then shooting with a 24mp camera gives you a lot of leeway in terms of cropping. do you have any links to the footprints team's sojourn in india? looks interesting. On Sat, 22 Aug 2020 14:28:15 +0200 Alan C wrote: > Interesting

OT: smoked pork

Weird smoker behavior. I put a pork butt on at 5:30 this morning. Normally they stall for me at 160- 165. This one was holding at 163, so I was getting ready to tent it when the temp suddenly dropped down to 127. Any thoughts from our barbecue experts? bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

Subash, nice series of butterflies and dragonflies! Great to see all those species not flying around in my area. I usually shoot these animals at 200 mm to avoid their flying away, though some don't seem to mind getting close. Henk Op 2020-08-22 om 13:47 schreef Subash Jeyan: hi, hope

Interesting gallery, Subash, paticularly because they all look familiar to me. That lens does well but it seems you have the knack of getting very close too. Then, the Royal Enfield - a British make which became wholly Indian. The local "Voetspore" (footprints) team recently did a 3 month
