Re: August PUG is UP!
Exceptionally good gallery - many photos to admire here. My three favorites are Tulip Blossoms (marvelous light), Moon and Venus and Reeds - but there are many great photos here.

My top three are Ann's 'Tulip Blossom' - both simple and elegant; Stan's 'Beach Stone' - sums up the theme well; and Joe's 'Moon and Venus - that's a stunner!. Ok, OK - let's have another couple... Bruce's 'Queen Anne's Lace' - love those shadows and Ken's 'Reeds' - seen it before and it still grabs me.

Re: Flickr Are Sneaky Bastards
Whatever. They don't force you to use their app. The fact that your browser is screwing up the photo display isn't Flickr's fault. Get a different browser if that one is screwing up the display. I pay for Flickr Pro service because I value it. I've been on Flickr since 2008 and have never had any problems with their service. The app came long after that and is free.

Re: Flickr Are Sneaky Bastards
Frank, It is not just you. I also refuse installing Flickr app. If someone wants to do that, I have no problem, and it can be useful for uploading your gallery or socializing with other Flickrers. But my phone is not a dump to install an individual app for each website that created it. All those apps use extra storage, RAM and CPU. The initial and overall idea of the WEB is that it could be seen from ANY standard-compliant browser. Also, I am wary about all apps that have many unnecessary permissions. (I am talking about Android here.) While Flickr app has reasonable permissions, but it wants to read your contacts. I understand that these days all apps that are trying to be social do that, but I don't need to share my contacts just to see photos on web-pages. I never checked for systematics, - but there is at least one type of view in Flickr that I had problems in at least two differen mobile browsers: Opera and Chrome. In that view the image was too small, and I couldn't zoom-in to fill the screen with the image. I haven't seen it most recently, - maybe they've fixed it, or I just haven't gotten links to that view. For the record, I have nothing against Flickr service in general, my wife has been using a paid account for many years, and she is happy with what it does for her. (I am not using it myself, as I don't like the G+ -like interface.) Speaking of the photo-hosting websites that don't behave well with the mobile browsers on my phone: photo.net doesn't allow zooming the images, but most of the time the image looks fine (e.g. recent image posted by Paul S.) BTW, Frank, - your blog photos do not show well in Mobile browsers (e.g. Opera, and I believe Chrome, possibly even FF) on my phone: The photo is small, taking just a small portion of the screen, and the webpage doesn't allow to be zoomed-in.

Re: PESO: Alien Jellyfish Lift-Off
Thanks Rick (and all who looked/commented)! A healthy thunderstorm breathes in moist warm air and exhales cold dry air (rear flank downdraft).. If the intake exceeds the outflow, the storm grows. But if the inflow gets cut off (or ingests the cold dry air) then the storm goes outflow dominant and it is weakening/dying. This is outflow (probably strong RFD) hitting the ground and deflecting strongly in one direction. Those clear holes you see in the storm are the RFD cutting through the cloud mass above. http://dsx.weather.com//util/image/w/8e890050-cdfa-4495-9655-7bd9d26a8bf5.jpg It's the first time I have been so close and well-placed to catch the resulting haboob at the beginning like this.

My top three are Ann's 'Tulip Blossom' - both simple and elegant; Stan's 'Beach Stone' - sums up the theme well; and Joe's 'Moon and Venus - that's a stunner!. Ok, OK - let's have another couple... Bruce's 'Queen Anne's Lace' - love those shadows and Ken's 'Reeds' - seen it before and it still grabs me. You'll find the gallery here: http://pug.komkon.org/ (you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery there). Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not infallible. So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the gallery, let me know. + Next up: 'World Photo Day - August 19' For this one, you need to take a photo on August 19, your local time, and then submit it before the closing date (around 31 August).

Re: PESO - Mosquito Landing
Thanks, Darren. It was originally a horizontal image. The square crop preserves the full vertical axis - it just worked out that way. Playing with crops I could see that nothing outside of the center square added to the image, so off it went. On 8/10/2015 10:45 PM, Darren Addy wrote: Lovely, lovely image. I love square compositions, but I'm curious - since it was taken with a 67... was it originally a horizontal composition or a vertical?

Re: Flickr Are Sneaky Bastards

Flickr's crappy little app is in most ways better implemented than their browser pages, and presents photos much more speedily and with higher quality than most browsers, regardless of platform. It presents a cleaner, nicer viewing experience. There are some things that the app does well, but there are a lot of things I do on the web site that it simply doesn't do. The mobile site has a wealth of it's own suckage as well. My biggest gripe is that flickr doesn't understand consent culture. If I say no that doesn't mean to keep asking me until I break down and give in. It is trivial to store a cookie that says no, they don't want the app, or they have already installed the app and are choosing to access it via the website. What is even worse is that for some reason, clicking the dismiss seems to just take it back to the same page that causes it to reload the nag page and it can be damn near impossible to get around it to what I actually want to see. I can think of many more annoying internet things to bitch about than the Flickr app, which happens to work very well, costs nothing, etc. By that measure, there are far more important things to discuss than the topics of approximately 100% of the traffic of the PDML. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) -- 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.

Shooting shooting stars
It seems as if the Perseids will be in full swing this week. Does anyone have any advice borne of experience for photographing them? I suspect that a lot of short exposures will have the advantage of running at a higher ISO and making it easier to capture a dimmer transient event. Then there is the question of darkfield frames.
