GESO: Winterthur

2022-05-10 Thread P T Stevens
Went for an hours walk around the Winterthur Estate ( ex DuPont Mansion, 
now a museum). The estate is 900 acres with it's own zip code, fire 
station, post office, train station (now a residence)and obsolete 
sawmill and quarry. The main house is 175 rooms and the cottage (about a 
100 meters from the main house) is 40 rooms. The azaleas are in bloom in 
in wooded area of about 15 acres.

As discussed in this space, my wife’s K-70 has the dreaded aperture block 
problem.

Can anyone suggest a better (i.e. quicker and less expensive) repair outfit 
than Precision?

Re: Why we are not posting

2021-11-09 Thread P T Stevens
The reason that I am not posting is that my camera and I have a 
difference of opinion. My camera is irritated because it believes that 
it not operated by a highly competent and technically knowledgeable 
photographer. I am irritated that in spite of what my camera believes, 
every photo I shoot should result in a glorious work of art.  It seldom 
happens that we can tolerate each other enough to take a photograph. By 
the way if both the camera and I cooperate and the result is still poor 
we blame the lens.

I am impressed that the photographers on this list have advanced so far that 
they no longer make excuses for the mistakes they made in their pictures and 
have reached the platonic ideal of making excuses for not even taking the 
photos.

Some of us have even advanced to the stage of making excuses for not yet having 
made an excuse for not taking photos.

GESO - Hot Air and Wandering Tubadors

2021-09-12 Thread P T Stevens
She who must be obeyed informed me that we were attending the Balloon 
Festival Saturday afternoon. So I dutifully grabbed the camera and off 
we went. An extra $2 allowed entry into the balloon launch area, however 
any balloons that left the ground were tethered (I think due to Prez 
Biden being at home making the area a no fly Zone).

Be gentle, this my first post of photos and my expectations are similar 
to Kevin Bacon during pledge night in Animal House.
