Re: PESO - First shot with a new (to me) lens
John, thank you for your description of your portrait subjects. I can say that I am not surprised. There must have been something between you and the cats that can be (somehow) captured using a camera. I thought Anthony and Alex were looking distant, if that is a correct word in this setting. For Eve, I was sure it would be my cat if I were to choose one based only on these images. Ella looked beautiful but for some reason (or for no reason at all) we could not make a connection. And, Spot was my next candidate for a serious relationship. :) I have recently lost my friend Pebble (a pointer, see: https://celasun.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/communication/ and https://celasun.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/cakil-ve-ben/ ) . My wife and I are now looking for one or two friends (perhaps, a cat and a dog) to live with us. This probably makes my antenna more sensitive these days. Have a nice time with all those companions.

Re: Ball Head Question
That's an interesting video and it touches on some of the concerns I had with the AS plate system, namely whether it has a safety catch that would prevent accidental detachment. But I watched some videos of the AS system and it seems that some of the heads - or maybe its a factor of the plate - have a safety catch the keeps a loose plate from falling off the head. Having to use a hex tool instead of a d-ring / wing nut type tightening setup was also a concern for me, but it looks like there are AS plates with d-ring type tighteners. It seems that in terms of variety of plates available, the AS system offers a lot of options. I didn't know about the many accessories that you can get that can also mount on AS plates - like macro flash brackets - that look pretty interesting. I'm going to visit the local camera shop this afternoon and try some things out first hand.

Re: Ball Head Question
Most of the better A-S plates have limit stops that screw on and can be removed. I always remove them ... I find they get in my way. Most of mine use a hex wrench to snug them, but some have a coin slot and some have a folding wing nut. I prefer the hex: it’s the most secure. I’ve never dropped a camera from having the plate come free, or had one slide out of a clamp. Just pay attention and it won’t happen.

Re: Ball Head Question
Thanks Paul. Visted the local camera store this afternoon and they =showed me a Sirui K-30X which looks to be very good. Unfortunately the store was a mess - they were getting ready to paint the walls and had pulled all the merchandise off wall displays and piled it up in the aisles. So they were only able to find the Sirui and a Manfrotto to show me, though more were out there somewhere... I'm planning on picking up the Sirui - checking the reviews it looks to be very good, and has their own safety lock system for AS plates, which addresses the one minor concern still on my mind. After trying it I realized that I don't need a lever control, the oversized knob works fine. Overall it looks like a good ball head at a decent price.

Re: Ball Head Question
I’m glad you liked it. I have the K-40X, which is a bit of overkill, but I feel as though the larger ball gives me smoother motion. Might be all in my head. Amazon has the K-30X for 144.99, and the K-40X for 166.99. The 40X weighs .4 pound more, but with my long lens setup that’s pretty much irrelevant given the weight of everything else. > On Aug 27, 2018, at 3:37 PM, Mark C wrote: > > Thanks Paul. > > Visted the local camera store this afternoon and they =showed me a Sirui > K-30X which looks to be very good.

Re: No longer uploading to facebook?
Matthew Hunt pointed me to this http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/facebook This Plugin No Longer Works As of August 1, 2018, Facebook revoked photo-upload privileges for all non-browser desktop apps, including this one. This is simply their policy that non-browser desktop apps are not worth their trouble to support.
