A gallery is going to take a little longer - I haven't installed
a gallery creator on my current machine :-(

In the meantime, here's a collage of the residents, arranged in
order of seniority (I couldn't decide which picture of Eve to use).

I love shooting kids’ sports. Photographing baseball and football is a study in 
opposites. Two different sets of problems. Shot some football for the 
neighborhood kids today. Got soaking wet. Tested Pentax weather sealing!

I like Dark Sky's forecast presentation, but would rather have a radar

information as Dark Sky ("Rain beginning in 20 minutes"). None of them
provide a surface analysis (map showing high and low pressure areas and

Weather observation has been an interest of mine since 5th grade, though,

Thanks to all who have commented.

I'm sure the new 50/f1.4 is a far better lens, but I'd never use
it enough to justify the cost.  I'm just glad that Bill decided to
upgrade his system, and parted with the old lens at a price that
garnered me nothing more than a resigned look from the household
accountant (and, nowadays, sole wage-earner).

Getting it has prompted me to actually pick up the camera again -

Re: Ball Head Question

2018-08-25 Thread Henk Terhell

Vanguard is not the way to go in my opinion.
I always had on my tripod a Manfrotto ball head with RC2 quick release 
plate on a 323 base plate.
This easily carries my K-1 with a  1.5 kg telelens on a collar. Recently 
I bought for flower pics a sturdy mini tripod with ballhead, but this 
has an Arca-Swiss plate system.
I found it much easier and safer to mount and unmount the camera on the 
Manfrotto RC2 system, even with one hand is possible.

So I got rid of the Arca-Swiss system. Having two systems is bad option.

The advantages of digital far out weigh the plusses of film IMO.

I used to like Kodachrome, only used it on special occasions, which

They don't some are close but none are really perfect, and it's nearly
impossible to project an auditorium filling display with anything else
that's that cost effective.
