K1, rotate LCD screen?

Hi all, Just a quick question. I was playing with my new K1 yesterday, doing some macro on a copy-stand. (50mm macro + 100mm extension tube) With the camera pointing straight down, it was nice to be able to fold the LCD upwards to make it easier to see. This was fine for the viewing (and live

Re: Road trip storage

I just use cards for the most part. I take a laptop as well, but it’s not essential. I just like to process a few files on quiet evenings. A 64 gig card will store enough for my two week trips, and I set the camera to back it up to the second card. I would bring a second pair of cards as

PESO: vintage car - 2 (non-jalopy)

As I finally got to work on photos, I am continuing posting photos of the cars that most people don't get to see every day. (At least - I don't.) These shots are sort of "opportunistic" in nature, but I think some of them are interesting. This "puzzle" will be more difficult for Alan. :-)

PESO - Uphill

There are two kinds of bicyclists on Haleakala in Maui. The first are those who ride in vans with racks full of bicycles up to the top, and ride down. The second are those who bicycle all the way up (from the base, 10,000 feet and 24 miles) and then ride down. Both are crazy.

Re: PESO - Uphill

I assume those clouds are below (at least partially), right? Seeing the clouds below the grass makes it a bit surreal. I wonder if you also had another shot, much more zoomed in, so that the bicyclists are more dominantly seen being above the clouds. That would be a very different story but

Really impressive! And in this view, it looks almost as a great work of a taxidermist. Cheers, Igor On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 4:37 PM, Jack Davis wrote: Plucked from a road side phone pole. Sort of looking down his beak at me. C? Thanks J https://www.photo.net/photo/18442683 -- --

Re: PESO - Uphill

Igor, The whole place =is= surreal. When I first got up there, nothing was visible except the mountain and the clouds below us. It is also vast, and the humans are puny indeed. Their scale in the photo is deliberate. Thanks for looking and commenting! Rick > On Dec 12, 2017, at 8:48 PM,
