Re: PESOx2: HITTEFEES (Wrap up)
Thanks to all who looked & commented. My mate, Gert, needed 7 stiches in that gash on his right knee. There were a few spills at that sty/bridge. Some riders were so knackered they dismounted & walked across. Ken, it looks OK on my lap top though some fill flash would have helped.

Re: BREXIT !
On 6/27/2016 10:32 AM, Alan C wrote: & much, much more. The Romans left an astonishing legacy. In fact, the whole structure of British (& much of European) society. This isn't a true story, though it is strange enough that it could be: The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That’s an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that’s the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that’s the gauge they used. Why did “they” use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that’s the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. And bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse’s ass came up with it, you may be exactly right, because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses. Now the twist to the story… When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses’ behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world’s most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse’s ass. … and you thought being a HORSE’S ASS wasn’t important! -- 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: GESO: Swan Lake (Lagoon?)
Thanks! I don’t know if it was technically a lagoon or not, but it was a small body of water separated from the ocean. I didn’t follow it far enough along to see if it connected with the ocean farther down or not. I didn’t have a very wide angle lens, but I just counted 29 swans in one picture, which doesn’t cover all of the area. It was quite thick with them. > On Jun 25, 2016, at 7:18 PM, Daniel J.

The first night there was a half moon that had risen a couple hours previously, the second night there was no light from the moon, but a lot more light from hwy 17 lighting the foreground. They were actually two nights apart, it's just that the first night was after midnight so the dates only show one day difference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157670122716326 If you look at the exif data: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157670122716326 By way of comparison, here are some photos taken with the K20 at the same spot, late at night. The mists made the scene a bit more photogenic. http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157625430541230 You will see that after post processing it is nearly impossible to tell apart two shots with the same exposure apart from ISO. I don't know why I can see the milky way in the first set, but not the second set, perhaps it hadn't moved into the scene yet because that is exactly the opposite of what I expected. On one hand, this means that if your post processing software could handle it, you could shoot at base ISO all of the time, and almost never clip your highlights. However, since lightroom does not handle more than 5EV gracefully, there is also little to no downside to pushing the ISO hard enough to see what you need to see (so long as you don't clip highlights). I was shooting way under exposed last night so as not to blow out the colored lights behind the band I was shooting. The problem was that the people in the foreground were so dark, I couldn't see anything useful on the display. I would love to see a paradigm shift in cameras used by people who shoot in raw. The ability to always shoot at base ISO (not the requirement, but the ability), and to have an equivalent to ISO control, simply control the brightness of the preview jpeg. Ideally, being able to adjust it in camera while you're looking at it. The histogram would, of course, report the raw data, ideally also showing a number with the percentage of clipped pixels in each channel. I'd love to see some sort of number showing SNR in the shadows as well. The only photos of any artistic merit are the ones of the fir trees at the end. They were well lit by the headlights on the hwy. There are some weird effects where they have more illumination in some shots than others. It may have something to do with traffic patterns, though it didn't seem to vary that much over 20 second time spans at the time. For people who know the area, I took the bear creek / Black Road exit, and doubled back to Montevina road. I parked at a little pullout there and walked a hundred yards/meters or so back towards the exit to get a better view of the lagoon. BTW, I'm still waiting for a chance to try my luck with M31. I haven't had both a clear view of it and a long lens.

Re: PESO - Branford Point, In Memoriam
I offer my belated sympathy. I lost my mother in 2010. I miss her always! She was 96 and well right up to her stroke. She was a good woman and Saints fan and I knew she had pull with the Lord. In a moment of levity, I asked her to see if she couldn't help the Saints win a Superbowl before she passed on Feb 4. On Feb 7 the Saints won Superbowl XLIV. Her memorial service was three weeks later (she was cremated). Often there aren't many attendees to the funeral of an old person. The church was full. All ages too. She was a retired teacher and active in the church. Several of our family members are musicians and vocalists and all performed. It was a very entertaining service. She would have loved it and maybe she did. Seriously, you have my sincere condolences.

To her I owe my love of choral singing, canoes, mountain lakes, hiking, cooking... and so, so much more. A onetime sketch and watercolor artist, she always encouraged my photography, and had several of my prints hanging in her apartment. Her spirit is everywhere, yet I miss her.

It depends a bit on what part of Scotland. In many areas my understanding is that they tend a lot more towards cattle, a rather short and scruffy looking breed of cattle, but cattle nonetheless. A bunch of my ancestors by the name of MacGregor got in a wee bit of trouble with the English because they didn't see any reason why they should give up the time honored sport of cattle raids. There is also the old question of why the Scots tend to raise cattle, and the Irish sheep. Because on average the Scots are just a bit taller. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
