PESO: Big Bird

Just for interest, a heavily cropped shot of a Saddlebilled Stork with Impalas on the W bank of Sable Dam, Kruger Park, about 300m distant. Adult Saddlebilled Storks are about 1.5m tall with a wingspan of 2.5m. This is probably a bit beyond the useful limit of a Sigma 170-500 DG on a K5. A

Well done Dan. Perhaps you should consider a Photobook of Calendar for sale? Alan C On 19-Jun-21 09:57 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: A small gallery of images showing the development of my Monarch larvae over the last month.

I agree with Paul. JAlbum is excellent. It's what I use to generate the PUG. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ https://500px.com/supera1000/galleries > On 20 June 2021 at 02:46 John Francis wrote: > >

The larvae sure are ugly looking critters.  It's amazing how they develop into such lovely creatures.  Good documentation of their metamorphosis.  Thanks for posting. -p On 6/19/2021 2:57 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: A small gallery of images showing the development of my Monarch larvae over

Re: Peso: Wascana Park

Thanks Alan and Dave. This was a major update to Lightroom that included super resolution (they call it enhancement) that uses artificial intelligence to boost the resolution of the image. For example, a K1 file boosts to 144mp with no apparent quality loss via artifacting, and a raft of presets,

Re: PESO: Opportunists

Thanks, Dave, but I don't know about "cool". Your cooler, damper climate is much better suited to mushrooms than ours. Many years ago when I was at Uni, I worked a Christmas Vac for a farmer (Tobacco, Maize, Dairy & Potatoes). He kept me very busy. Anyway he closed off the area under a

Thanks, Alan! This was one or a dozen that I released over the past three days, so I don't remember exactly how long it took her ( it is a female) to fly away. Two flew away immediately, as soon as I opened the door to the cage. Most waited until I reached in and removed them by hand, and tried

Looks pretty good to me. Perhaps shooting the original at high ISO would lead to a more grainy conversion? I had a look at the presets in my older version of DXO but no IR there. Alan C On 18-Jun-21 09:47 PM, Bill wrote: This is a rather boring scene from my outing with the granddaughter

John - I think jAlbum is probably hands down the best gallery software available for a reasonable price.  It comes in two flavors - Standard and Pro - with the difference being the Pro allows you to use it for sales and have a shopping cart.  Otherwise, the features are the same.  There is a

Gallery Creation software recommendations

A friend of mine has recently provided me with space on one of his machines where I can, amongst other things, host a photo gallery. The last time I did this (some years ago - I was still using a PZ-1p at the time) I hand-crafted all the HTML code myself. I have no desire to go through that
