Re: Pentax Theatre: Our Dumb Robin
You must have built the house on an ancient migration route. You should think yourself lucky he's not a wildebeest. My guess is that each time he flies into the window he thinks Damn! That hurt. I'm not gonna do that again then starts looking around for another direction to fly, completely forgets what he just did, sees that bit of sky reflected in the glass and thinks Boy, it looks nice over there and sets off again. Drape something over the glass so he can get away, the poor little sod.

Re: K10d resale value
I had the O-GPS1 and it can be a fussy little device. Precise calibration of the O-GPS1 works (usually) if preceded by the sacrifice of a chicken although occasionally a goat is required. It works better for wide focal length lenses (Milky Way shots) than anything else, and the actual tracking time is only a fraction of what the camera tells you is possible. Still, it was enough to get me excited about Astrophotography and I sold it to fund a more robust solution. It is an ingenious device, but I understand why they didn't bother to add support for much earlier cameras. They want to encourage new sales.

Re: K10d resale value
I do understand that they wanted to encourage new sales, but I still think it would have been helpful if they'd included backwards compatibility. Even if the astro-tracing wouldn't work, being able to add GPS coordinates to EXIF would be useful. On 4/21/2014 11:30 AM, Darren Addy wrote: I had the O-GPS1 and it can be a fussy little device. Precise calibration of the O-GPS1 works (usually) if preceded by the sacrifice of a chicken although occasionally a goat is required. It works better for wide focal length lenses (Milky Way shots) than anything else, and the actual tracking time is only a fraction of what the camera tells you is possible. Still, it was enough to get me excited about Astrophotography and I sold it to fund a more robust solution. It is an ingenious device, but I understand why they didn't bother to add support for much earlier cameras. They want to encourage new sales.

Re: K-3 moire
Sure, I only wanted to ascertain that I am being understood correctly. It often happens to me that I am not. I should admit that I did not see the moire on the PF examples either. I've seen some artifacts, but I wasn't sure as to what to attribute them. I have some more moire examples from Ricoh GXR-M that are very clear, but like I said - 6 images out of several thousands - it is *practically* a non-issue. In fact, I am thinking that this new K-3 variable moire reduction feature is good, but its usability in real shooting is extremely marginal. At least this is what follows from my experience.

Assume it's for a parking control officer to pop out and ticket people? Lucky you if you have them! We have a new breed of big brother anti-parking measures here. Some cities and councils have a adopted a method whereby a van with a CCTV camera is aimed at parked vehicles at the side of the roads it patrols, and it simply records vehicle identities through number plate recognition technology that are parked illegally - on what we call 'double yellow lines' painted by the kerb. So in the old days, you'd pull over and leave the engine running on double yellows to use the ATM ten feet away, get your money, and be off in 30 seconds or less - all the while mindful of a parking attendant. Now, you've only got to be waiting at a traffic light to turn left (equivalent right in USA/Canada/etc) and the van can nail you thinking that you're parked. Not supposed to but that has happened. Every car park now has number plate recognition cameras at the entrance and if you overstay your allotted 90 minutes or whatever, the fine comes through the mail. Regarding CCTV cameras, I once used to be of the mind that 'if you've done no wrong, then there's nothing to fear'. But this is getting ridiculous - I have changed my opinion and now abhor this proliferation of state-sponsored spying. It is atrocious. Get thee to a bicycle shoppe.

Re: PESO -- The Victor!
I shot a couple in the same series, ans it appears to be a toenail on my sensor. On 4/21/2014 4:23 PM, Daniel J.

There is something that distracts my eye just to the left of the most vertical branch. Is that part of the scene or something on the lens or the sensor?

Re: OT: STRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will keep the flushing and date in mind. The install of the new one is almost complete after it is all said and done it is going to be about $700 heater and labor and misc. parts.

A few hours ago I went into the kitchen and thought the water pressure seemed a bit low. Well I got under our house and listened and heard water. Luckily the crawl space is high enough up to where one doesn't have to crawl. Our hot water heater is under the house and guess where the water was coming from. Needless to say not sure where we will be getting the monies to either get it fixed or replaced. We have someone coming in the morning to look at it and for the time being we are without water. Hot water heaters always give you about 10-12 years of service - then they fail. Next water heater that gets installed, take a sharpie and write INSTALLED ON xx/xx/ right on the side so you'll know when you're up for a new one. Or at least so you're READY for it to leak again... -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson If you flush them out at least once a year, they'll last longer. Twice a year is better. Helps if you've got an accessible water heater. I figure they'll last almost 20 years with care. I've been in this house 40 years. I installed a new gas water heater right after I moved in (to replace a failing electric water heater of unknown vintage). Since then I've had to replace the water heater 2 more times, the second replacement coming just last year. Another thing to look for is a sacrificial electrode. It'll attract most of the corrosion to itself you should replace it every few years. I do have a semi-finished basement and can just walk right up to the water heater to attach a hose to the drain fitting when I'm going to flush it out. -- Jeffery Johnson Photo Captures by Jeffery http://www.photocapturesbyjeffery.com -- 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.

Re: OT: STRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turns out the one that leaked from rusting internally was 10 years old.
