Re: PESO Celebrating Spring
In regard to the droplets, I think what you’re seeing is refracted light. The light angle is far from ideal here. It’s coming around from the front and slightly to the rear. Passing through the droplets creates some color here and there. Could be a bit of fringing but I don’t think so. Here’s an enlargement of the area: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17714813&size=lg This is far from a perfect shot. It’s handheld at 350mm and the duck was on the move. To make matters worse, I screwed it up. Had the exposure comp set at -7 from something I shot the other day and forgot to change it, so I had to push the exposure about a stop in conversion. That’s never idea of course. The eye is partly in shadow and not absolutely sharp, although it’s decent considering. I think the critters eye is just a black ball. Don’t believe there’s more detail there to be had, but I could be wrong.

FS: To pay for Enablement ;)
First the enablement part... Found a good deal on what will be my first real astrophotography imaging (and visual) scope: An Orion ED80T CF (Carbon Fiber tube). It is a highly regarded scope for the money and the used one I found comes with the matching field flattener which helps out the performance in the corners. It is a 480mm focal length f/6 design and highly color-corrected. It could be used terrestially also, I think. The optical tube only weighs 5.5 lbs, which is great since my equatorial mount is only rated for 20 lbs and I will probably have a home made guidescope to mount along with the DSLR (or K-01). So, since I put this on a credit card, I now need to get it paid for. ;) FS List (WORLDWIDE): Will calculate and charge actual shipping to your address. Email me for a quote. Happy to ship worldwide to PDML-ers. Pentax-A 135mm f2.8 A highly regarded prime, with good reason. Built in hood and easy "A" usage on Pentax DSLRs. This one is cosmetically in the best condition of any I have seen. I'd grade it as (conservatively) EXC. Includes both caps... $229 Scarce: Macro-Takumar Preset 50mm f4 (1:1) When you are lucky enough to find one of these they can be pretty beat up cosmetically. This one is beautiful. It comes with original caps and the green velvet lined original Asahi case, which I don't think it has been out of a whole lot in its life. Condition trumps rarity, but this one has BOTH going for it. A highly regarded lens you'll be proud to have in your stable, for a relative pittance $199 Minolta Maxxum 24mm f2.8 AF lens with caps and case. Works (as you know) natively on Sony Alpha mount.$219 Very clean Minolta SRT101 with the MC Rokkor 58mm f1.4. Includes original front metal cap and case which is in very decent shape (and probably why the camera is so clean) $95 Beautiful working LUNA PRO F meter in case with strap. This is a highly sensitive meter and accepts specialized attachments, including one for spot usage (not included, but available on the used market).

Re: OT: Eagle Cam
Thanks, Dan. Very interesting. Good to hear there is so much Public interest. I know the Bald Eagle has been under threat except in Alaska. Alan C -Original Message- From: Daniel J. Matyola Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 3:11 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: OT: Eagle Cam A very popular pastime here in the most heavily populated state of the US is watching our new eagles being born each year. Eagle Cam focuses on 3 eggs ready to hatch at Duke Farms March 19, 2014 original HILLSBOROUGH — Spring is the season for new life and you, along with 8½ million others, can witness the marvel of birth through Duke Farms’ Eagle Cam. The webcam focuses on a bald eagles’ nest perched 80 feet in a sycamore tree on the 2,000-acre property that has been preserved as center for environmental stewardship. The web cam is located higher in the sycamore tree and though it can be operated remotely, it is mostly pointed down to give a birds-eye view of the nest. There are now three eggs in the nest. The eggs were laid at 3:55 p.m. Feb. 17, 3 p.m. Feb. 20 and 4:45 p.m. Feb. 23. With a gestation time of about five weeks, the time for the eggs to hatch is fast approaching. The first hatch date could be March 24. “So far, so good,” said Nora Wagner, director of public programs at Duke Farms. You may see the progress yourself by going to MyCentralJersey.com. Since the eagle nest was discovered in the fall of 2004, 18 eagle chicks have been hatched and fledged — growing feathers large enough to fly — at Duke Farms. Fledging usually takes 10 to 12 weeks, Wagner said The webcam first was installed in 2008 and began transmitting video in March 2008. Since then, Wagner understated, “it’s gotten pretty popular.” As of Tuesday, the Eagle Cam, Wagner said, had close to 8½ million viewers. Duke Farms and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey have created lesson plans for students in schools along the East Coast to learn about the habits of the country’s national bird. For example, the mother and father share incubation duties, though the mother spends more time with the eggs. Most of the time, the webcam captures nothing more exciting than an adult eagle protecting the eggs and keeping them warm. When the eggs hatch, suddenly the nest becomes busy with activity until the chicks grow their wings. But occasionally there is drama. In one of the more harrowing scenes captured by the webcam, on March 24, 2013 a red-tailed hawk swooped down on the nest but was killed by one of the adult eagles, who then feeds the hawk’s remains to a chick. The webcam captured every second of the life-and-death drama. An eagles’ nest was first discovered at Duke Farms in 2004. But in 2012, Hurricane Sandy’s 90-mph winds tore the top off the upper half of the nest tree, destroying the nest. But like many New Jersey families whose homes were destroyed in the storm, the eagles returned to Duke Farms and built a new nest in the sycamore about 100 feet from the first nest two months after the storm. The camera was moved to the new nest tree in the fall of 2013. There are now 96 pairs of eagles incubating in New Jersey, according to the Conserve Wildlife Foundation.

Re: OT, photos of low level flying
Thanks for that, Larry. Really enjoyed it. The SAAF flew Shackletons on coastal patrol missions until quite recently. They have all been pensioned off now. One had to land in the Sahara en route to a festival in the UK & was never recovered. All the SAAF Harvard trainers were either scrapped or sold privately. They had a lot. The private ones still participate at air shows. I remember driving on a rural road not far south of Phalaborwa some years ago when a couple of Canberras gave us a hell of a fright when they shot past only about 100m away in a valley to our right! The SAAF has no flying Spitfires left. They restored a few but they all subsequently crashed.
