PESO - Joe McAllister

[Brian Walters]

Very sad to hear about Joe's passing.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I met up with Joe all too briefly on
my road trip with my family around the western USA.  We only had about
an hour together to talk about all things Pentax but it was an enjoyable
time - even if Joe struggled with my accent occasionally.

Anyway - here's a photo I took at the time.

Rest in Peace, Joe.

[mike wilson]

Seconded.  I hope his vast collection of equipment is dealt with compassionately
by the estate's executor.  He was concerned about that and making arrangements
when I past heard from him.

Does anyone know the Samyang 18-28 lens?

[Larry Colen]

There is one for sale, very inexpensively, on craigslist. It seems to be 
full frame, which would be very nice, when the K-1 is available.


Some of the Samyang lenses are excellent optically, but I'm not willing 
to bet that they all are.


In a related note, is there anyone in the Richmond area that could take 
a look at it for me?  It's a crazy drive from Santa Cruz.

That's really sad news.

I met Joe in Seattle in 2013 over a cup of coffee and a table full of
Pentax gear - mostly his!

I've got a photo I took of him that I'll dig out and post.

By the way, how's Anthony doing?  Last I heard he was having a few
health issues of his own.



Cheers

Brian

Sad but not unexpected.  He wasn't very sanguine about his chances when 
he last posted here about a year ago.

That's a very interesting portrait.  I like the way his left eye is on a 
diagonal and the tip of his nose is directly in the center.


There is something about that photo that is unsettling.  That is not a 
bad thing, by the way, good photos evoke emotion. However, I don't know 
what it is about it that has that effect on me.

Is it a problem with Bay Photo's ROES software or is that characteristic

I don't know other ROES software. Apart from Bay being high quality,
they are also the local shop, and I like to support local businesses.


ROES is a photolab management program (or suite?) from SoftWorks
Systems. Many labs besides Bay Photo use the ROES system.

http://www.softworkssystems.com/

I don't know if SoftWorks does individual customizations for the
different labs that use ROES, including password parameters.

That was the question. Did Bay Photo decide what characters were
acceptable in passwords or is it the same for all Photolabs using ROES?


It is likely the same for all software.  Here is the email I got from 
Bay this morning

Malcolm




He showed a number of short videos of National Park, National Forest &
BLM lands that were taken using drones.

To the best of my knowledge, using a drone in National Parks requires
written permission from the park superintendent. His presentation didn't
include any information on how, if or when he acquired permission.

He did acknowledge the general FAA regulation that drones cannot be
operated beyond line of sight of the operator, but I couldn't determine
if that acknowledgement included a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" or not.

My reservations regarding drones is entirely concerning irresponsible
operators. There have already been instances where careless operators
have injured bystanders on the ground. Luckily, no fatalities.


But, I think it's only a matter of time before some idiot flies one into
the path of a commercial aircraft & causes a crash.

Great photography club, where you get this level of speaker.

I like the photos provided by drones, but regret not buying some months ago.
Due to the idiots which seem to use 90% of them locally, I'm expecting a ban
or strict restrictions to be imposed very soon on drone usage. All this
could have been sorted at point of sale, with dealers not selling to people
too stupid to use them safely. Having said that, I wouldn't have missed for
