I will have a road bike this year, so if I do GFM, the bike will be making the trip, too. Keep in mind, Mark, we didn't do any big hills on our little 40 mile jaunt to the Tennessee border and back to the cabin, and I didn't have anything approaching alpine gearing (42-21 was the smallest gear I had). If we'd have been riding in the mountains closer to GFM I'd have been a goner. Geez, some of those ascents are long and steep! I'm thinking maybe a 39 tooth small ring might help a lot. I live in the Santa Cruz mountains, this has a lot to do with the 30-34 low gear on my roadbikes. Anyway, to answer the initial question, I'll say I'd love to but can only say maybe at this point. I don't expect to be able to get to GFM. I wonder if there'd be interest in a multi-day get together out here on the left coast. If folks wanted, we could even use the family estate as a base of operations, I've got several futon/couch/spare beds. The scenery may not be a match for GFM, but the ocean is about 10 miles away, the nearest winery a little over one mile, and there's a redwood grove and a river in my back yard. If people really want wild life there's the francis household with their 17 or so cats less than an hour's drive away.

peso mushrooms at night
This year, mushrooms have been popping up in my yard like, well, like mushrooms. One stump has four or five varieties. Since it's right outside my front door, it keeps distracting me with opportunities to play with my macro lens. I really wanted to take some photos of the mushrooms today, but I was right at the tail end of a home improvement project. Have you ever noticed how occasionally home repairs seem to take a little bit longer than expected? I was noticing this on what my have been my eighth last trip to the hardware store. I was bummed that I didn't get a chance to photograph the mushrooms today before it got dark. When I finished the project at about 9:30 tonight, I decided to grab my strobes and give it a try at night. I should have realized that when you throw a metric buttload of photons at a subject, that can improve the quality of the photos. Here's one I particularly like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4249761021/sizes/o/ From this set: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623150326000/ Which has a few I shot during the day on Sunday as well. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

This one is from the backyard and features a h long-legged fly (family Dolichopodidae). These are agile predators and are very fast. Gave up using pTTL flash since the pre-flash elicted an escape response and everytime the actual exposure would record an empty space where the fly was - does anyone know what the interval is between flashes? The wind which has blown unabated for the last week or so made this even trickier and getting something in focus was a real challenge - finally managed something reasonable with this one.

Re: Wide angle for K-X?
Bruce Dayton wrote: Very well said Boris. I tend to agree with this. The biggest reason for Pentax is the glass. The only time to buy 3rd party is when there is not an equivalent Pentax lens. There's plenty of glass around where Pentax just added the label to it. There's plenty of glass around which is not named Pentax, but may provide excellent results on the K-x. And Pentax once offered very good glass for very reasonable price - but the price advantage seems to be gone by now. So I do feel that any lense is justified to be used on a suitable Pentax body, while there may be much worse combinations of certain Pentax optics and bodies - and although Pentax does offer the major compatibility between former and now, Pentax and Non-Pentax, there's plenty of incomplete support between original Pentax lenses and body. Concerning the support itself: from the European point of view it's an argument against Pentax by now. - Martin -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

What I want
I want to use my Bellows A with my K10D. I have the dual cable release that stops the lens down and releases the shutter. But the K10D digital doesn't have the socket for an old fashioned cable release, it uses a electrical switch. What I want is a remote socket with a switch, so that I can use mechanical motion of the cable release to close the switch on an electrical circuit. Doesn't have to initiate focus, just release the shutter. Looks like Canon used to make one, but no longer does. Nikon made a dual release for their bellows with Nikon cameras having only an electronic release. Has one mechanical and one electronic pendant.

Re: What I want
It's not too hard to adapt a wired electronic remote release made for these cameras to a physical plunger release. I did so for my PZ-1p. I removed the button that tripped the two microswitches (one for AF, the other for shutter) and replaced it with the cable release. Don't remember how I attached it, but it was solid, no duct tape.

Re: Wide angle for K-X?
Both of which are normal on an APS C sized sensor, 35mm being ~
50/55mm the longish normal we're used to with 35mm film cameras. 28mm
being approximatly the diagonal of the sensor, making it a true normal
as defined my most other photographic formats.

OT -- Sort of...
DP Review has a review of the Samsung NX10. I guess this might be on
topic since it seems to have a sensor from the same family as the K20d
and the K-7, and there appears to be a future option for a K mount
adapter. \
On a side note. Is it just me or does DP Review seem to be so into navel
gazing that they'll plant their heads up their own butts to see it from
the inside?

PESO - Welcome to Canada!
For you guys and gals in the Southern Hemisphere: http://mondociclismo.blogspot.com/2010/01/welcome-to-canada.html We're having a bit of a snow event (as the Weather Channel likes to call it now) here in Toronto. Not much, maybe an inch or two. It's kind of sticky - I think it makes a bike look lovely! It was pretty much pitch dark when I took this on the way into my apartment, though you'd never know it from the photo - that's why it's grainy, I shot @ ISO 3200. Enjoy!

There's one called the Bridge to Bridge Challenge that finishes at the top. Bridge-to-Bridge is a 100-mile (century) ride that goes from Lenoir, NC to the top of Grandfather Mountain, the final two miles or so being the famous switchback road from the front gate of the park to the top parking lot at Linville Peak. There's 9275 feet of total climb for the entire course. Amazingly, there are two other century rides in the same area, the Blue Ridge Brutal 100 and the Blood, Sweat and Gears Century (purportedly the toughest - 13,000 feet of climb). I've done the BSG twice and it's truly grueling: Snake Mountain is a 5-mile stretch of climb mostly at 9% grade but finishing with a 1/4 mile section at 18%. But the road to the summit is usually automobile only for safety reasons. Mostly insurance/liability reasons from what I've been told but it keeps bikes off the road, whatever the reason. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
