Fun in the rain

2023-01-09 Thread Larry Colen
I actually did use my Pentaxes to get some photos of the weather fun we've been 
having.  I used my K-3 and 16-50 back on New Years Eve, then mostly played with 
my Irix 11/4 today after last night's rains.  The funny thing is that I had 
taken a fair number of photos before I realized that I had put it on my K-3 
rather than my K-1, so I went back, swapped bodies (I often wish I could do 
that with my own body) and then got some real wide angle photos.  

If a few of the photos you can see my home made depth gauge.  The photos at the 
end of the set show the river after it had dropped to 16 feet, a little deeper 
than it got on the 31st.  At its deepest this morning I think it was a bit over 
18' deep.  
Granted, that's 18' over the portion of the river bed that is usually not under 
water, the normal channel is maybe 1/3-1/2  as wide as it is when it goes cliff 
to cliff.

Like a fool, I figured that today was going to be nice and dry, and while they 
need to do some work on 17 on the side heading home, they'll be long done with 
that before I need to go home.  It turns out they finished a bit before 10PM, I 
had to take some back roads, with mud from slides, missing pavement, and some 
trees here and there, but I got home even it took me an hour and 15 minutes 
rather than 45. 

We're supposed to get another nice big storm tonight, and I'm planning on 
working from home tomorrow.

PESO - Brrriiing Brrriiing!

2023-01-09 Thread Rick Womer
A week ago my spouse and I took a walk along Martin Luther King Drive (formerly 
West River Drive), which winds through a park along the western bank of 
Philly’s Schuylkill River.  We were ambling slowly southward when there was a 
sudden flurry of bicycle bells behind us. These three gentlemen, in period 
attire, were pedaling along on antique bicycles. I barely had time to squeeze 
off a few shots.

Gang,

if you wish to help with keeping the hamsters who power the pdml in 
fine fettle, you can shoot a few bucks to my email at paypal. I also 
have a venmo account, (at DFBrewer) if you swing that way.


Other options entertained if you contact me.

Thanks

Re: OT Mail list restrictions

To clarify; there used to be (on the PDML.net homepage featuring a cap) a link 
to donate that led you to a page that allowed credit card donations without 
using a PP account.  I can only donate that way.  Even if Doug was willing to 
pass on his bank details, the costs of an international transfer would be 
(probably) as much as the donation.
