Or indeed any app that supports full-screen mode :)

You should also be able to move the mouse cursor up to the top of the screen 
and the menu bar will appear, with a blue icon at the far right that you can 
click to exit full-screen mode.

Oh and feed the cat, that's why she distracted you :D

Fantastic collection.  Some of those birds are very colourful.  You're very 
fortunate to see such wildlife in the wild.

Good work on the run, too!  I have one coming up in October but I'm planning to 
take it easy as I'll have a bigger race 3 weeks later.

Cheers,

PESO: Bluebird of Happiness

2014-08-08 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
The bluebird of happiness flew up my, ah, nose. 

For decades, I had kept a number of bird feeders in our back yard, as
many as eight at a time.  For much of that time, I recorded my
visitors under a program run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.  I
really enjoyed watching the birds enjoying my feeders.

In recent years, however, the deer and squirrels attracted by the bird
feeders have become a bigger and bigger problem.  We also had
occasional visits by racoons and black bear, which were very
destructive, not to mention dangerous.

Three years ago we got a new puppy, and we have been trying very hard
to train him to stay in our yard, so he could tun free, at least in
that acre or so.  The deer and other critters attracted by the bird
feeders became a major nuisance, so very reluctantly I decided to give
them up.

The lack of bird feeders the last couple of years has greatly reduced
the number of deer and squirrels in our yard, and made it a lot easier
for our Malamute to enjoy playing in the yard.  There has been a
surprising side effect, however;  there are a lot more birds nesting
in our yard than before.  I suspect that the more aggressive birds
attracted by the bird feeders, like blue jays, cardinals, starlings,
grackles and crows, had been intimidating smaller birds and
discouraging them from nesting in our yard.  Last year we had two bird
houses that were occupied with small birds.  This year, we had five
occupied bird houses, plus a nest in a tree and one on one of the
floodlights on my house.  Better yet, for the first time in decades,
we have bluebirds nesting in two of our bird houses.

One of the bluebird houses is on the edge of the woods, and I see the
birds infrequently.  The other is close to the house, however, and we
see them several times a day, often when we are at the pool or in the
hot tub, which is quite close to the house.

I have, of course, been trying to capture some images of the
bluebirds, with little success.  They are quite shy, and disappear as
soon as they see my camera.  (How do they know what I'm up to?)  Even
when I manage to sneak up on them, they are so quick in and out of the
house that there have been very few opportunities.

This weekend, I decided to give it yet another try.  I set the tripod
up on the deck, but they saw me and kept hidden.  After an hour of no
sightings since I brought out the camera and tripod, I gave up.  As I
was putting my gear away, I had an idea:  They don't seem to mind us
when we are in the hot tub, so why don't I try hiding behind the hot
tub, resting the camera on the cover?  I knelt behind the hot tub and
set up the camera.  after a few minutes, the female flew out of the
house, and back in a few minutes later, but she was too quick.
Besides, I couldn't get in a position to focus properly through the
view finder or even the LCD.  I pre-focused on the surface of the bird
house, and waited, with my finger on the shutter release and the
camera set on multiple images.

After about 20 minutes, my back was aching, but suddenly the male put
in an appearance.  I fired off several rapid-fire shots, and then
tried to follow him when he rested in a tree and then on the top of
the dog run.

I wasn't able to get a good sharp image of the male, so I plan to try
again this weekend.  This is the best I have been able to manage so
far:

Well, I know Cotty liked his R-D1, but I tried one and found it a pretty clunky 
pit of kit to work with. 

I have a nice Hasselblad V setup (500CM body and two lenses, plus the SWC). A 
CFV39 back would work quite nicely with the 500CM body and the prices are 
beginning to approach the stratosphere ... They've been out by the Oort Clouds 
until recently. I just shoot film with it. :-)

Do you have a key labeled Fn, maybe on the lower left or right?  And in the top

GESO: Final (?) additions to my Michigan Upper Peninsula gallery

2014-08-08 Thread Stan Halpin
I've added another 6-8 images, selected from among my favorites from the 
workshop I've been participating in this week. 

I did some rearranging of images in the gallery. 

The basic link is:  http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p735513422

Image #25, roughly the start of the newer images, is at:
http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p735513422/e3e014a12

Of likely special interest to PDMLers is the last image. Direct link is:
http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p735513422/e13e9b660

I may have more additions later, once I am back home and maybe have time for 
more digging through the accumulated files, but this is it for now. I know that 
later I'll be doing some stacking or stitching to composite some images I have 
set aside; they may or may not turn out to be worthwhile.

When you go to the Gallery, there are a series of thumbnails. Clicking one 
expands to partial screen with a thumbnail index to the right. Clicking on the 
main image enlarges that image. From either the image-plus-thumbnails or the 
single-image page you can navigate through with left/right arrows on the 
keyboard. 

Comments welcome but I may or may not have a chance to respond...

That's because we're carrying computers as much as we are cameras.
What we need is a mechanical digital camera.
Let the camera read the dials and respond accordingly, but use old-style
dials with the new electronics for the shutter.
Might be workable.

A little something that caught my eye this afternoon, no reflection on 
the corporate Giant in the background, they actually make a scrumptious 
iced coffee, however the corporate giant reflected in the foreground 
seems to be holding their products together with reinforce packing tape, 
the modern equivalent of bailing wire.


This should have gone into the Sign of the times gallery of the PUG, but 
I didn't see it until today.

The question is, does the recipient want to rattle off auto-everything
pictures? Or does she want to learn about the relationships between
light and time. If the former, then go for an auto-everything camera (in
fact the Fujis do that as well). If the latter, then by all means go for
an auto-everything camera that has manual override perhaps. The reason I
recommended the Fuji, is that it has a traditional shutter speed control
layout on top, and will accept the use of manual focus, and manual
aperture lenses. This setup is very good for students of photography in
that it is easy to see the said relationships working with (or indeed
against) each other. Not always easy to see on auto cameras with manual
override. And, of course, auto lenses can be added later if desired.

Personally I would try and opt for a camera with either an optical or
electronic viewfinder instead of just a rear LCD. Learning to compose
while excluding all other peripheral vision can be useful. Again, if the
intention is to just give her a decent camera that takes interchangeable
lenses with which to try out, then this is perhaps moot.

I'll tell you what though, if she gets a liking for it and wants more
control, you might find that the camera he gets her becomes an interim
affair that means she'll want to upgrade to something with better manual
control. The realm of manual lenses is not just the over 65s!

X-E1 bodies can be readily had off eekbay at good prices, even with an
AF standard zoom. If that's too much or he prefers to buy new, I
understand completely.

G'day all

In case anyone is contemplating a Blurb book...

I just got back a book on my recent trip through New South Wales &
Victoria.  The card that came with the book lists the following 15%
discount code which should work until 31 August:

SUMMERSAVINGS

It's supposed to work whether you're the author or not.

Last weekend we trekked to Skukuza for the annual Half Marathon, travelling 
from Phalaborwa via Letaba, Satara & Tshokwane to Lower Sabie Camp on the 
Friday (8 hours), to Skukuza & back on the Saturday, to Letaba Camp on the 
Sunday (7 hours) & home on the Monday (2 hours). This GESO is a selection of 
photos taken during the weekend, mostly with the K7 & FA 100-300. For those 
who may be interested - I managed (with some difficulty) to complete the 
Half Marathon in 1:58.

Anyone wants this lens?

Notice, it is SMC, not HD coated one.

If so, please contact me off the list.
