Weird, I looked at it without being signed in.  Stan doesn’t even have a flickr 
account to sign in on to comment.

Aside from nerding out about the gear, I think I have gotten a few decent

GESO Tinman Photos

[Larry Colen]

A while back I was hired to do some photos for a band.  I had gotten some 
photos for a previous incarnation when a friend played with them, and they 
needed photos (and video) of the new lineup.  I went to one of their weekly 
practices, shot a few photos as practice, then a couple of weeks later 
photographed them at a gig.  

I crunched through the photos, sorting them by musician etc.  I posted “proof 
albums” for them to select which ones they wanted, and waited to hear back from 
them.  Several weeks later, I was about to start my new job, I had only heard 
from one of them, I mentioned that I was about to be very busy, and could they 
please tell me which ones they want me to clean up for them to use, because my 
turnaround times were about to get a lot longer.

It turns out that this version of the band broke up (fortunately they had 
already paid me) and they were going to go back to their original lineup.  
However, I did hear from one of the other members (the one who had originally 
hired me), so I processed the ones they picked.  Some of them I did a few 
different versions, darkening the background and/or cropping to highlight the 
musician in particular.  In other words, playing around with the fancy new 
lightroom adjustment tools.

PESO: Forsythia

[Daniel J. Matyola]

We are in the middle of the coldest spring in a decade, with a record low
for this date.  Temperatures are below freezing, heightened by cold winds
and overcast skies, with occasional freezing rain and passing snow
squalls.  Spring indeed.

The weather seems to have slowed the daffodils and other spring flowers.
My forsythia is nice, but the yellow blossoms are fewer than in the recent
past:

Outstanding.  Have always enjoyed your shots of the heavens.  Too much

Thank you, that is Thor’s Well just south of Yachats Oregon. Here are my other 
posted photos of it, some from an outlook several miles away so you can look 
down and see  it in context.  It’s definitely worth a stop.
https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=99496143%40N00=date-taken-desc=thor%20well_all=1

Do be careful, on one of my visits I got knocked over by a particularly large 
flood of water, both cameras went into the drink and my 15-30 stopped focusing. 
 I sent it to Precision, they said it had water damage and could not be 
repaired and didn’t charge me, but it was working just fine.  I think that 
banging the lens cap against the rocks might have just knocked a connector 
loose.

It’s a hole in the rocks that connects to a cave and at tides over about +4 
feet waves will push water up the hole, it will spout or flow onto the rocks 
and then flow back down the hole.  On one of my trips I had gone to Devil’s 
punch bowl about half a mile North of there, and within a month or two, two 
different friends posted photos of Thor’s well.

he he - I read  "15-30 photos"  above and wondered why you were not sure 
how many you had...


but yes, more than a few keepers here  and more than one familiar.

Re: Re: Meade adapters

[collinb]

Thanks, guys. I should have been more specific.

Looks like (not too familiar with telescopes) what I need is the 1.25” tube to 
T-Mount unit. Already have the K T-mount and a K->Sony adapter, so I’m all set 
for both cameras.

Great images, Larry!

I'm sure the lens helps, but it is the photographer that turns out images
like that.

Say, I think I recognize that covered Bridge.  .  .

Re: Gallery of 15-30 photos

[Stan Halpin]

I don’t have a flicker acct, couldn’t star/fave directly there… 
I am always impressed by the technical expertise needed to get the star shots, 
but the images themselves are usually not my favorite viewing. In this 15-30 
set, what really caught my eye was the next-to-last shot, the waterfall (?)… 
Very nice!

Re: Gallery of 15-30 photos

[Alan C]

Yes, Larry, you certainly have. An excellent gallery. The star shots are 
superb. The lens sharpness is a big factor - I have tried those sort of 
shots with my 18-55 but kave been unable to get anything like those.
