Re: PUG Themes for 2016
Ann, Ghm... you prefer "nonhumourous" and "uncute"? ;-) It's interesting that I had exactly the same reaction about the song one.. Brian, I appreciated the sequence (proximity) of some of the proposed themes, so I thought of a combined one: "tranquility at rush hour". And in a similar manner, when I mistook "shed" for "shadow", I thought of "shadow reflection". On a serious note, - I seriously propose "serious" as a serious topic. And, if the combinations are not accepted, - I suggest "shadow" (not "shadows"!)

Re: October PUGgery now up!!
Thanks to all for who mentioned "The Sand Sower". Another enjoyable gallery and thanks to Brian for his work in assembling. My favorite of the bunch this month was Pat's "Sailing off Arran". A beautiful image of a beautiful scene. I liked Brian's "White-Bellied Sea Eagle" a lot. Only wish it had a bit more room around it. Super sharp and love the textures in the wood and the wind bent feathers. Sticking with the "Eagle" theme,I liked Ken's "Eagle Harbor Lighthouse" (and remember it as a PESO).

Fastpack 250 AW II review
First of all, major, major kudos to Lowepro for replacing my beat up fastpack 350, which itself was a free replacement for my previous one. If, after seeing the pictures they had said, "Nope, it's just plain worn out, you can't blame that on us", I would have had no arguments. They no longer make the 350, so they replaced it with the current generation 250. It has several very nice improvements over mine. First and foremost is that they have addressed my one major complaint, the lack of a strap for a tripod. They now have a strap on the side to use the water bottle pocket as a tripod holder. Unfortunately, the strap is too low to do a good job of holding a full sized tripod, but it's a big improvement. The zipper on the wallet pocket is now horizontal rather than vertical. It makes it a bit harder to get into that pocket, but also means that when I forget to zip it back up, things are less likely to fall out. They have added a couple of straps on the back to clip the bag to the handles of a roller cart carry on bag. There is now an all weather cover that resides in a pocket underneath the bag. It took me a while to figure out where it was hidden. The laptop computer pocket in the back now has a second smaller pocket for holding a tablet. I have one small quibble and one big complaint with it. The small quibble is that it only seems to come in black. I rather liked the choice of colors in camera bags, it made it easier to tell which one was mine when I went out shooting with others. My big complaint has to do with it being a 250 rather than a 350, the main storage area is too small. Rather than being about three inches wide and having room for three lenses, or two lenses and a folded speedlight with extension cable and gel holder, the top row of velcro divider pockets are about 1 1/2 inches wide and just barely big enough for two speedlights lying on top of each other. With a little bit of creativity, I can hold my filter wallet in that space. Using old velcro attach divders, I was able to set up the top compartment so that I can carry two lenses and a ballhead up there. Where my 350 was big enough that I could carry all of the lenses that I frequently need in a wide range of shooting conditions ( both a range of fast primes: 31, 50, 77 and maybe 35 macro as well a range of zooms: 16-50, 28-75 and 18-250, and if need be stuff my korean fisheye in the top pocket) the 250 is a smaller pack that would allow me to carry the gear that I am likely to need for almost any one type of shooting (a hike in the woods, or portraiture, or low light dance photography), it is not quite big enough for me to easily just grab without having to think about what sort of photo opportunities I might find. -- 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.

Thanks, Ann. The spider did not look so monstrous at normal magnification. On 10/7/2015 12:45 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: I'm very mildly arachniphobic and thought it excellent.

Re: October PUGgery now up!!
Don, The topic of the next PUG reminded me of this: https://goo.gl/Xo7Vc2 BTW, that's a piano, not a guitar in Rick's photo. Rick, - I greatly enjoyed your original interpretation of the theme.

Most submissions went for a weather-based interpretation of the theme but there were several who took a slightly different approach. Surprisingly, no 'winding roads'. Difficult to pick an overall favourite this month - so I wont... All excellent in their own way. As usual 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: 'On Two Wheels".

Re: Geso My Kelby Walk
Ken, I would be happy with that assessment of any of my work. I wish I had the patience you have when taking birds & wildlife. You can see I prefer things that stay perfectly still.

Re: PESO - Southeast Wind
Living here around much smaller lakes, those waves look scary to me. But dramatic too of course, so I wish I was there with a camera.
