PESO 2019 - 125-133 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I've now posted all the photos I made with the Minox EC on the photo walk that 
I think are interesting. This is about my favorite of this bunch: 

  https://flic.kr/p/2hNw96J

The rest can be seen in an album on Flickr.com: 

  https://flic.kr/s/aHsmJhuGj7

There are still photos to be processed ... I'm almost done with the roll of 
film in the Minox C and will likely process it in the next couple of days. :)

enjoy!

Very nice isolated captures Rick, no question what you want the viewer to see.

Re: GESO: Basque Region

[Rick Womer]

Gee, Stan, I dunno. The only ones that really grab me are 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20.

In one other word, “Wow!"

John, what ISO and exposure were you using?

Re: OT: SP II and 50 mm f 1.14 "up for grabs"

[P. J. Alling]

How is this off topic?  Also who thinks they're going to get over $50 
dollars for a Spotmatic II with a 50mm lens these days.  Hell a few 
years ago I bought a SMCT 35mm f3.5, a little jewel of a lens, for less 
than $30 /because/ it had a camera body attached to it.  They could have 
easily gotten two to three times that for the lens alone.

Walking West from the Arch

[Rick Womer]

St. Louis has a series of very pleasant gardens and parks extending about a 
mile west from the Old Courthouse (interrupted by the occasional imposing 
classical building). So, I took a walk.

Re: Interesting Pentax KX listing on eBay

Oh, Ebay is so 20th century, but then again so is the KX I guess.

circuit board so I never bothered trying to identify it and source a
replacement because it just would have been too much of a pain in the
arse.

PDML 2014 arrived!

[ann sanfedele]

Mark - just opened it.   I didn't have that one because I had gotten the 
E-book and was particularly um broke at the time... not nearly as 
satisfying!.  This is positively my favorite of all of 'em.. , from the 
design to the individual photos and the quotes.


Guys if you have missed this one, throw Mark $20 plus postage and enjoy 
PDML Photo Annual 2014 soft cover.

No need to do anything wrong there. They can very well take care of
killing themselves.

Electronic flashes contain electrolytic capacitors - as reservoirs for
the flash energy and as parts of the oscillator to generate the high
voltage for the flash tube - which lose their capacity if they're left
without voltage applied to them for longer periods of time. Some of this
loss is reversible by applying voltage to them.

Give them fresh batteries, switch them on and wait a few hours. Then
switch them off and on again and with a bit of luck the odcillator will
start with its usual whining sound. If it doesn't you've probably lost
since the repair cost might well be higher than buying a new flash.

In an earlier life, I've spent parts of my summer school holidays at the
Multiblitz factory, selecting pairs of electrolytic capacitors so that
they had the desired capacity.

Do they whine at all?  Still might be worth leaving them switched on for 15-30 
minutes.  Battery corrosion can be dealt with, unless it has actually dissolved 
parts.

Unusual for them all to be completely dead.  You can recondition capacitors
by setting to manual, then  charging and discharging repeatedly.  Might take

I killed one of them by leaving batteries in it too long & they leaked.

The other two were stored without batteries. When I put batteries in them they 
won't turn on at all. I'm sure I did something wrong with them as well.

Juan
These are my faves and I agree with Rick about 7...
8,9,10,12,15,16   the two bet with the birds in them are the 
gull 'in your face" one and number 15 which has a lovely mood...
I'd dispense with the others that have flying birds in them since these 
two are so strong.

Made over several mornings in the last couple of months. I shot with the
idea of processing in this way--a TMAX 3200 sort of look. Mostly Sony A7 ii
with various lenses, some Pentax, some not. A couple of images are from the
MX-1, Q7 and the KP.

Been editing this down, it's at 18 photos now. Still some repetition, I
probably should cull it down to 10-12 images.
