I believe they got it in a couple of weeks recently with devastating results 
for the farmers.

I remember looking at some of the totals, upwards of 150-200mm rain 
consistently every day.

Note the scale on these comparison photos...

That would be about 78 inches, we did get that a couple years ago. We're over a 
meter so  far for this season. 
I did see one year that was 111 inches which would be about 290 cm.

As to where it goes... Through my back yard. I live on the San Lorenzo River.

You get almost 2000mm in a year? Where does it all go? Our average is 
530mm/a which is why 52mm seems such a big event. After another 38mm 
last night & a bit in between we have had a total of 110mm in 4 days. A

For a show you could rename the output jpegs prepending a three digit sequence

Re: L-bracket

Does anyone know if there is a decent L-bracket for the K-70? Ricoh does not 
show one. The only ones that I have found online are generic. I am toying with 
the ideas of modifying a generic bracket or making my own from aluminum stock. 
The latter would be far more work but may be the only way to have full access 
to all ports and the battery compartment.

Pentax are _IGP9000 etc


I've been using A Better Finder Rename for many years. They claim it's 
the ultimate file renamer and I think they're right.

Easy - a renaming app that does batches of files in one go. There's some free 
and some paid - I've used a freeby called 'Renamer4mac' for years and it works 
great:



Or this paid for app:

Thanks Paul, i have looked into that briefly. I'm thinking along the
lines of this, if the beginning Nikon shots are lest say _D720250 and
the pentax shots start at say _IGP 9000 to rename those pen tax shots
_D720250a, then b then c or -1 -2 -3 etc. Not sure finder can do batch
like that but i''l look

 I’m not a Mac guy but Google says you can batch rename using the finder.

OT ? more on the laptop

2019-02-16 Thread David J Brooks
First off thanks to all that had suggestions on my old macbook
purchase query. Some valid points made.

Friday oi attended the latest slideshow at our local seniors club, its
the first one i attended as i wanted to see the process as mine is
March 15th. The presenter was using her newish macbook and just ran
her slide show movie direct from iMovie via a projector and she has
some music. After reading the replies to my query i realized i could
probably do mine on my iPad mini 2. I keep forgetting i even have it
as i only use it when the grand-kids are over to play Mario cart. I
tested out my ipad on the projector and could get the slideshow
feature to work as well as just moving the photos by hand with a swipe
right.

So, problem 1 solved. Now problem two. I have two set of Newfoundland
photos, one from the Nikon and one form the Pentax, both have
different naming structures and file numbers. I would LOVE to have
these in some sort of order from both cameras and realize i would have
to do a lot of renaming,
Nikons are _D720250 etc
Pentax are _IGP9000 etc

I'm racking my brain trying to determine the best way to do this. The
reason for wanting them in orderish is that i took maybe 20 shots of
an item with Nikon and say 30 with the Pentax with its shorter lens so
i'd like to have everything flow nice. I used to have renamer for mac
but it does not work now with OS 10.11.6

Any ideas appreciated.

Dave

Steve,

Mark's job can be compared to that of a manicurist. Yours to removing 
the appendix. :-D

it was a simple matter to fix it. I just
disassembled the bracket (two allen-head bolts), sawed off 5mm of the
bottom plate, drilled extra depth into the bolt holes, tapped with the
proper thread and reassembled. Nuthin' to it.

And they used to crucify me over aperture levers.
