GESO: Little Miracles 2
After that crappy shot in half darkness I posted last night, I got another chance this morning. I coaxed the family out from under a Pumbago bush with some crushed maize.

Week 4 PDML Photo Annual Update
Half way through the submission period and we're into the lull that always comes between the initial rush and the last minute flail ;-) Still, judging by the overall quality of the images we've received so far I could probably put together a damn fine book right now... Just a reminder: Everything stops on February 28 - Midnight GMT, 7:00 p.m. US Eastern time and 4:00 p.m. Pacific time. I have a busy schedule this semester so we'll really be taking no more submissions after the page shuts down. Thanks to all those who made donations via the submission page.

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography
I've given this a bit more thought and it seems to me you go to the same place every time you go out to Hawaii. If that's true, might there be someplace out there where you could store a tripod between visits? Alternatively, you might consider shipping the tripod to where-ever you are going to stay and have them hold it until you arrive; then shipping it back just before you leave for home.

You seriously are not going to even be able to get close capturing shots of the moon itself that folks with serious gear will be able to do. My suggestion is that you find a place that would have some really nice night time scenery to put in front of the moon and set up some night landscape photos with the moon in the background. It should be in roughly the same place about 40 minutes earlier tonight, so you could go do some test/practice shots. If you don't want to invest in a cheap tripod, you could make, or buy a beanbag, and set up photos using that and the 2 second delay.

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography
Super Moon because it's close to perigee (appears about 7% larger). Blue Moon because it's the second full moon in the month of January. Blood Moon because it's going to be a total lunar eclipse. It's a fairly rare thing for all three to occur during the same full moon. The last time one was visible from North America was 150 years ago. I think we're supposed to be able to see the beginning of the eclipse from here on the east coast (of North America).

Re: Week 4 PDML Photo Annual Update
I'm pretty sure I caught mine at a small but crowded gathering last Saturday... the NY book launch of the bio of my friend, poet James Wright. (James Wright, A LIfe in Poetry) His (second) wife Anne, whose friendship wiht me has continued over the years since Jims passing age in 1980. I first met them both in 1973. Her part at this particular signing and reading made it important for me to go and not just dash in and get my book signed since I don't get to see her much these days since she moved up to a senior residence upstate in Rhinebeck. There was a reception at Poets House following the reading of passages by author Jonathan Blunk, by Annie and poet/teacher/novelist Donna Masini - who had been Jim's student at Hunter in the 70's. The book was a very long time coming... Blunk had been working on it for a very long time.. . I can only read it in small doses.. but it is nicely written. I wish he read his own prose as well as he writes. Happily, Donna's turn at the microphone telling stories and reading a couple of favorites made it a bit easier to sit in the uncomfortable chairs. Too much mingling at the reception.. too many hugs..etc.. sigh.. that being said, not nearly as dangerous as getting on plane in terms of picking up unwanted bugs - But Hawaii -they- say is very low on flu monitor so thats in your favor. I bet you guys can tell I just woke up from a nap (about the third one today) - in chatty mode. I did get my three pix in to Mark though... ann On 1/30/2018 6:01 PM, Daniel J.

Re: DA 40mm
The DA 40mm lenses are supposed to be exactly the same optical formula as the old M 40mm f2.8, with more modern coatings. I can't say whether that's true or not, I have an old M version and didn't see any particular reason to duplicate it with an AF version. On the other had the 40mm seems to be somewhat soft on the edges and corners wide open on film, so you might see the same thing using a modern version on a FF camera.

The last time one was visible from North America was 150 years ago. I think we're supposed to be able to see the beginning of the eclipse from here on the east coast (of North America). >>> >> >> > http://www.ajc.com/news/world/first-blue-moon-total-lunar-ec > lipse-150-years-coming-late-january/yXxui9lY8LUCqmdyD7MbtM/ > > https://tinyurl.com/ycrr3tqb > > -- > Science - Questions we may never find answers for. > Religion - Answers we must never question. > > > -- > 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. > -- 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: Little Miracles 2
Thanks all. Very little post-processing & only sharpened 1 click. There used to be a lot of Guinea Fowl in town but I suspect many have been eaten in recent years with the changes in demographics. Small, demi-domesticated groups like these are hanging on. Alan C -Original Message- From: Daniel J.
