I’ve been doing some more filtering and initial processing of our Alaska images 
this evening. One that caught my eye was with the K-1, HD DFA 70-200 at 1/1000, 
f/8 ISO800 from a small boat while out looking for whales. Misty cloudy day. 
One image I really liked was a Stellar Sea Lion swimming parallel to the moving 
boat. A little cropping, a little bump in Clarity and a little noise reduction 
and I can see the water drops falling from his whiskers… I did miss focus on a 
few eagles flying overhead but otherwise have not been disappointed with the 
AF, exposure, etc etc. I also try to avoid filling the buffer because I hate 
that feeling when the decisive moment comes and the camera is temporarily 
unavailable while it clears the buffer…

True, Jack. It's not ideal as a sports camera, but it's better than one would 
expect based on the reviews. I shot for a while at max frames per second but 
then went to single frame. The burst rate and buffer are both limiting when 
machine gunning. But I often get better results by watching carefully and 
shooting single shots.

Yes there is.  The only post processing was levels adjustment so I think
the cast is due to the fact that the photo was taken in late afternoon
in the 'golden hour'.

I misspoke (or mis-typed).  It's actually made of concrete, not metal.

http://oldwickanimalhospital.com/?page_id=93

When first I photographed the Oldwick Hippo, I parked my car and walked up
to the building.  It was a Sunday, and the animal hospital was closed, but
a man came out of the hospital to ask what I was doing.  When I explained
that I had passed it by several times and was curious, and wanted to take
its portrait, he invited my up onto the lawn for a better viewpoint.  The
story he told me was quite different than what appears on FarceBook and he
hospital website.  He said that he was an engineer, and had been working
for a firm in the midwest.  He met a young woman who was them in veterinary
school, and fell in love.  Just as she was graduating, he was relocated
back to New Jersey.  He asked her to marry him, and come back east with
him.  She told him she could never do that because she would have to leave
the concrete hippo that she had come to love.  He claimed that then he
bought the hippo, at an inflated price, loaded it onto a trailer and told
her that if she ever wanted to see the hippo again, she would have to marry
him and move back to New Jersey.  Impressed that he would do that just to
please her, she said yes, and they moved to the horse country of Oldwick,
NJ, where she set up her practice in a building he designed and built.

Whether that is the truth or not, that is one great story.

Read about it thought "the poor man's Hassy X1D", thought about how big 
an upgrade I'd need to the computers to even hope to manipulate the

No drool from this direction. It has a couple of deal-breakers: no
OVF, only EVF, and a brand new lens mount, so no legacy glass, only
brand new (read expensive) lenses.

The 645z continues to satisfy every photographic need I have.

my main body is approaching 200k shutter cycles and sounding a bit
tired.

I spend most of my on-line time on FB now as that's where most of my

keeping the PDML's blood pumping, I do pop in to read but I don't get
