Visually I can't see any difference. Both original files start to become

I think we need some expert comment here.

Because a facility set up to deliver packages by the truckload to a downstream
sorting and delivery hub probably doesn't have the staff and/or vehicles to
deal with the "last mile" delivery.  Raleigh has the bulk hub for a large area,
but Greensboro is probably the next level in the distribution chain; Raleigh
(bulk) isn't set up to deliver directly to the Raleigh (local) UPS facility.

4th of July OOF Fireworks experiment

Mentioned that I read an article on PetaPixel that suggested using a defocused 
technique for fireworks. The idea is to start out of focus & swiftly bring the 
image into focus during the time the shutter is open.


https://petapixel.com/2018/07/03/how-to-shoot-defocused-firework-photos/

I gave it a try.

Don't think I did a very good job at it. Didn't get any images as good as those 
that accompanied the article, but one of them is just barely good enough that 
I'll probably give it another try later this year when they have fireworks at 
the NC State Fair.

Re: Pentax k-70 - damn! now I'm in trouble!

I don't remember whether you have a laptop or not, but you might be able to use
a program called "PK_Tether" to connect your K5 to your computer & use the
computer as a remote. It's freeware/donation ware; use at your own risk.

I took a quick look at it, but it doesn't include a user's guide, so I don't
know yet how to hook it up. I'll let you know if/when I ever figure it out.

I'm going to mirror everything back to my old Drobo after I have this 
fixed. I don't think I lost anything. I must have moved things around in 
the new Drobo after importing from the old one as the directory 
structures don't quite match.
Saving up now for another Drobo. The 5D that I have uses 5 discs and has 
double disc redundancy, but that doesn't help when the Gods decide to 
play whack-a-mole with directories. I want a second machine.

Re: Pentax k-70 - damn! now I'm in trouble!

2018-07-07 Thread Leon Altoff

Ann, have you considered plugging in a HDMI monitor (or TV) into the K5 and
using live view for studio work?  All you need is the right cable (very
cheap on ebay) and no more sore neck - I know my life improved dramatically
when I started using a screen on the K3 and I wasn't always bending over a
viewfinder.

I will admit that the screen on the K70 is nice in the field for macro
shots, though I think the design of the KP screen would be more useful
unless you plan on doing selfies (yes it can be done).

OT: UPS?

I'm expecting a package to be delivered to a local store for me to pick up. I've 
had bad experiences with UPS home delivery before. In fact, I've had far more 
bad experiences with UPS than I've had good ones. So whenever I can, I elect 
delivery to the store.


The store gave me a UPS tracking number so I can see when my package is going to 
 arrive.


Funny thing about UPS routing; something I don't understand:

>  United States   07/05/2018   4:25 P.M.   Order ocessed:
>Ready for UPS
> Lynnfield,  MA,  United States   07/05/2018   6:45 P.M.   Origin Scan
> Lynnfield,  MA,  United States   07/05/2018   8:41 P.M.   Departure Scan
> Warwick,RI,  United States   07/05/2018   9:59 P.M.   Arrival Scan
> Warwick,RI,  United States   07/06/2018   4:09 A.M.   Departure Scan
> Raleigh,NC,  United States   07/06/2018   9:58 P.M.   Arrival Scan
> Raleigh,NC,  United States   07/06/2018  11:22 P.M.   Departure Scan
> Greensboro, NC,  United States   07/07/2018  12:43 A.M.   Arrival Scan

The destination is here in Raleigh, NC. There's a large UPS facility here.

*WHY*, if the item has arrived at the destination city *RALEIGH* would UPS ship 
it to Greensboro for it to just be shipped back to Raleigh?


UPS could have already had it out on the delivery truck today in Raleigh & I 
could have my item by this evening instead of having to wait until Monday or 
Tuesday.

2018-07-07 Thread P. J. Alling

One of the things I hate most about Flicker is every time I scroll to 
look at the EXIF for a picture a reminder to never miss a post by 
xxx reminder pops up like some demented fox terrier, otherwise the 
photo is a nice record shot.  I probably would have cropped it a bit to 
get rid of some of the extraneous details.

Re: OT Fox

Nice image!  he looks a bit taller than the ones around our place, but that
may be his posture.  He seems to be posing for the camera.  Ours are very

Alan, I'm not sure what you mean by "transferred yet."  They arrived as
tiny eggs on a  small potted milkweed plant.  They hatched, and started
eating the leaves of that plant.  As it got a bit sparse, I took a larger
milkweed that I had planted in a pot, and placed it in my larger pop-up
cage.  Then, I put the original plant in the same cage so that the leaves
were touching, so they could cross over to the new bigger plant.  They have
obviously shed their skins several times, and appear to be about half the
full size already.  Then, I hope they will pupate, and I will take more
images and try to see if I can catch one in the act of emerging as a
butterfly.  This will be difficult, as I am away at work during the week.
