Re: Geso-Uxbridge trail

Enjoyed the walk -- your artsy ones are fun and the developing pine 
cones are particularly nice.


...  and I have the same question as Rick about the long wood structure 
and the teepee shaped one as well.

Re: PESO: lizard orchid

 fine "portrait"
- it looks to me like some odd undersea creature.. - how exciting to 
find a rare species ..


and of course I went through a lot of other photos .. which is always a 
treat.. and I think there is a shot there of the lizard early in its 
bloomage, so to speak.(I don't think "bloomage" is actually a word :-))

Re: OT: The joys of living in Phalaborwa

[Rick Womer]

Amusing clip, if one is not the homeowner!

I finally got around to looking up Phalaborwa on Google Maps. A 1900 km, 19 h 
drive from Cape Town (and I’m guessing that 100 km/h is optimistic). I see 
Kruger Park to the east, and lots of other green bits, but also vast mines to 
the south. Interesting.

How did you wind up there?

The AA filter emulation is just a bit of carefully controlled blur.

Camera sensors are very sensitive to IR. Without the IR blocking filter
the sensor would be overexposed by IR light most of the time. That's why
they're built in.

Peter, I think the problem is at your end. The video I posted has zero to do 
with Facebook - it is a Youtube link and needs no login of any kind to view.



If it’s taking you to a Facebook login page, I suggest you examine your 
settings!

The video can be found by going to Youtube and searching ‘Tom Cunliffe Yachts 
and Yarns’ and then selecting ‘videos’ and seeing the latest offering….

Cheers

I.E. remove the physical IR filter from the camera and have the 
firmware/software "filter" the IR for "normal" photography & turn the "filter" 
off when you wanted to do IR?

You can't make something out of nothing. Normal DSLRs have a strong
anti-IR-filter in front of the sensor.

If the infrared light doesn't reach the sensor you can't make it
magically reappear using a 'curve'. It will never look like the real thing:

I thought you would recognize "roots music" reference. It's a variant of Child 
#286.

Some variations call it the "lonesome sea"

Re: Recent departure(s) and my reflections on "online communities"

Nah.  It's not all about me.

There was a bit of discussion (and consternation) here recently when one of the 
longtime members of this group declared “I am outta here” or words to that 
effect.

I copy/pasted much of the ensuing discussion and sent it on to the dear 
departed (sorry, can’t resist using that phrase!) Just in case he had signed 
off before the discussion occurred.  And I asked “so, what’s up with you?”

In brief, the individual has understandably been under a bit of stress. 
Spending long periods listening to warning sirens while huddled with your 
family in bomb shelters can do that to you.

All of this got me to reflecting on this group. This is an interesting group. I 
am not sure if I was the first to make this sort of move, but back at least 20 
years ago I was at least one of the first to use the List to make connections 
when I traveled. Frank and Dave and others in Toronto, including an evening at 
a Blue Jays baseball game. Bob and Cotty and others in England. Gianfranco and 
Dario and others in Italy: Venice, Rome, Naples,Ravenna…  Lasse and others in 
Sweden and Aland. Boris in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and Haifa. Henk and others in 
Amsterdam and Amersfoort. Rob and a bunch of others in Sydney and Melbourne and 
Adelaide. Jostein in Oslo (and Salisbury and Tenerife) and Paul and Bob in 
Milwaukee. And Mark in Boston and of course the Chicago weekend organized by 
Mark and Christine. And the Grandfather gatherings.  And photo meetups for 
weekends in D.C. And that is just me and off the top of my head. I can recall 
hearing of many NYC meetups and others, often on occasion of visitors from 
outside the U.S. passing through on business or vacation. Larry and John on the 
West Coast, Ann and Dan on the East Coast have provided something of a nexus in 
those regions.

An interesting group. Formed around a common interest in photography in 
general, the proper and effective use of Pentax gear in particular. Not exactly 
tight knit, but close enough that we can ask favors of one another, close 
enough that we can (mostly) trust one another when buying/selling gear, close 
enough that we can share our feeble attempts at artistry without fear of 
ridicule and humiliation. Maybe close enough that we could reach out to someone 
in difficulty and without feeling like an intrusive stranger? I do know that 
there is no generic answer, we members are not all alike. But, for me, for some 
of us, maybe, we could work a bit on thinking about reaching out to provide 
comfort to one another occasionally? Just a thought.

And now back to my regularly scheduled attempt to get a decent shot of the 
Oriole at the feeder…

Re: Video review - K3iii

[P. J. Alling]

Saw that before, didn't think it warranted posting, as it didn't 
contradict anything that I expected, and, well things like;  "Is the IR 
recording real?";  would be answered by one thing.


Can it record IR images in RAW, (and show IR images in live view), with 
an 87b filter in front of the lens?


If it can't it's not recording IR.

Re: OT - Golden Vanity

[P. J. Alling]

The link want's me to sign into Facebook*, since I don't have a Facebook 
account, I guess I'll have to guess at what the image is, something in 
gold perhaps?


*Even though I believe that Facebook has an electronic dossier on me I 
refuse to make it easier for Zuckerborg, (yes I meant to spell it that 
way), to track me, and to sell my information, to try sell me cheap junk 
from China.

Re: OT - Golden Vanity

[Steve Cottrell]

Thanks Stan.

Tom’s videos have a good international appeal. He does a monthly Zoom just 
chatting sailing stuff and last night one guy dialled in from his old 60’s 
wooden boat (a Laurent Giles Vertue) actually sailing off Chesapeake. He has 
quite a few north American subscribers. You could point your mate towards

https://www.tomcunliffe.com/

there’s loads of free stuff on there as well.
