January PUG comments

Two of the images in last month’s PUG are burned into my mind - I can’t stop seeing them! John’s Eclipse was just a masterwork in minimalism. All other things equal, I think I prefer eclipse images where the sun is just emerging out of the shadow, but still John’s image is just about as good

FS: Pentax K-3iii

I know, it is not Friday, but it has been so long since this list was flooded by buyers/sellers I thought I might be forgiven… I bought one of the first K-3iii bodies when they were released a few months ago. I’ve tried it out. It is still basically almost LNIB, with fewer than 1,000 shutter

Thanks all who have commented! For the doubters, I made a virtual copy and have just drastically enlarged the relevant portion of the bird. Yes, there is a fish in its beak… Same link, now 5 images. Stan > On Aug 4, 2021, at 5:03 PM, Ken Waller wrote: > > Nice sequence, Stan, but wheres the

GESO: Bilbao

A follow-up on my PUG submission this month. This is a link to a small gallery of shots from Bilbao Spain, mostly from the Guggenheim Museum, but a couple others from the old section of the city. https://lightroom.adobe.com/shares/fb26a38b31dc4f0683be21f3a82920ee Back story - we were
