Re: OT: 40 Years of New York City Through Taxi Driver's Photos
I remember seeing something on a cab driver that used throw way cameras and shot photos of NYC out his window. They were very good Dave On Fri, Jun 7, 2019 at 10:28 AM Daniel J.

Re: Stupid camera tricks [Part 2]
I sent my K-1ii to Precision last Friday. Received the repaired camera back today, one week elapsed time including shipping. I don’t care for the $353 flat price, but I am impressed with their quick turnaround. [When they don’t need to wait for parts.] And whatever the specific repair, they do a complete CLA while they have the body. In my case the repair was to the LCD. I know the “legs” are strong enough to hold the weight of the body, I have seen images online of people extending the LCD and holding the camera that way. What I found out the hard way is that the leg-to-body connection is not strong enough under stress. I.e., when my camera (with 24-70mm attached) started to slip off the car seat and I grabbed for it and somehow caught the edge of the retracted LCD and it jerked open from the weight of the falling camera and one leg popped loose from the body channel. It seemed that it should have just popped back in, but I didn’t see an obvious way to do that and was hesitant to apply a lot of pressure and possibly screw it up even more. The good news in the whole story is that my grab onto the camera via the LCD slowed the fall enough that there was virtually no impact of the body-plus-lens on the floor of the car. stan > On Jun 6, 2019, at 1:29 AM, Larry Colen wrote: > > > > mike wilson wrote on 6/5/19 10:24 PM: >>> ... >> I would now be concerned that there is a loose bit inside the body that >> could interfere with or damage the rest of the workings. > > I would be also, but it costs $353, plus shipping, to get it repaired whether > it's a mainboard or a cheap little piece of metal.

Steller parents
As of this afternoon, three of the four steller chicks had left the nest. As I was getting ready for work I went to get something from the back yard and the steller parents started yelling at me. At one point I may have seen one of the chicks flutter away. I put the 55-300 on my K-1 (and in the process of taking photos set it to aps crop), and got some photos of the parent birds yelling at me for being in my own backyard.

Learning experience
There is a lot to be said for the philosophy of "make new mistakes". If you never screw up, you aren't pushing your boundaries hard enough to really learn. If you keep making the same mistakes, you aren't benefiting from those educational opportunities. Tonight I learned that if I'm photographing in the dark, using live view, I should actually notice whether it says aps-c on the K-1 display. Oops. I did eventually notice, about 40 minutes in, when I was looking through the viewfinder, the dark rectangle that indicated that I was in crop mode. I didn't actually ruin any shots because of this mistake, A bunch of them just didn't turn out as well as they would have, especially since I was trying to shoot panoramas. Here's a pano that turned out OK. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/48017934606/in/album-72157708971548776/ (Dan, this is at Natural Bridges, even when the Monarchs aren't here, there are still some nice things to photograph) -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157612824732477/ -- 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.
