Re: Ot Mac OS upgrade--AAARGH!

[Stan Halpin]

Rick, as I recall, when I recently did a LRC upgrade/update, I needed to do a 
catalog format upgrade at the same time… Some message that if I didn’t reformat 
my catalog then existing images would not be available.

Re: Ot Mac OS upgrade

[Stan Halpin]

I haven’t upgraded my M1 from 14 yet just because I haven’t bothered. Anything 
to be gained? But now you’ve brought it up, maybe I’ll do it, and I’ll let you 
know…

Re: September PUG is up

[Stan Halpin]

Thanks Alan! I’ll join in on the praise of Filip’s very nice “action” shot! 
Nicely seen and composed. I also liked the curious seals in the north and the 
“getting to know you” sea lions in the south. I’ve been on that beach on 
Kangaroo a couple of times Brian, and all I remember seeing were critters 
sleeping. If I get another opportunity, I’ll look more closely for this sort of 
interaction.

Re: PAFA visit

Re: Status Update K-3 repairs and OT photos

[Stan Halpin]

In your collection of “old dead tractors”, this shot : 20240527-P5270049 of a 
Farmall … In the 1950-51 era, my dairy farmer grandfather bought his first 
(used) tractor, transitioning from work horses and eventually freeing up room 
in his barn for an additional three milking stations. The tractor was my first 
experience driving a motorized vehicle. He would never have allowed his tractor 
to get to the stage of disrepair as the one in your photo!  Thanks for a trip 
down memory lane!

Re: Paris

A long delayed OT comment re your power surge and related computer issues…

Several years ago our trusted local electrician installed a whole-house surge 
protector. A relatively small attachment on the main panel. I think it has 
worked properly, we’ve had no issues even when neighbors were having storm 
surge problems.

Re: Pittsburgh

[Stan Halpin]

45-50 years ago, my then wife got into a graduate program at Carnegie Mellon, I 
was working in the D.C. area. She came home some weekends, I drove to 
Pittsburgh some weekends. So, I did spend quite a bit of time there over 
several years. But I must say I never really payed attention to the city 
itself, it was just another urban area. I was very pleased to see the city now 
through Rick’s eyes.
I need to go back through old slides and see if I even did any photography 
there.

Re: May PUG is up

[Stan Halpin]

I thought it was a fine (Small!) gallery. Like Ann, I had some issues trying to 
relate to the theme, and I went a bit outside the bounds with my own 
contribution. Looking at the contributions of others, I was reminded of images 
I do have with a similar theme, but Still Life is just not embedded in my 
vocabulary and I hadn’t considered those earlier. So I was very pleased to see 
how others had interpreted the theme. I always learn something from the way 
others See through their lens.

Re: Problems reading SD cards

[Stan Halpin]

John, as you work through your sorting/naming process, one thing that I have 
found to be helpful:
   In Lightroom Classic, you can start the Search process, then at the top 
choose Metadata, within metadata choose Camera. Select *ist-D or whatever, and 
then you can sort by date, and scroll through looking for gaps or anamolies in 
naming or numbering. Then repeat the process after selecting a different camera 
to work with.

Re: Pentax APS-C cameras

[Stan Halpin]

John, in Lightroom Classic, select, e.g., all your Iraq time zoned images. 
Under Metadata menu, choose Edit Capture Time. The sub menu offers the option 
to do a time zone adjustment. There is a warning that you cannot UnDo any 
change. That is only somewhat true. You won’t have an UnDo option per se, but 
you can always repeat the action as many times as needed to get it right. And 
there is an option to reset to original capture time if you need to back off 
and start over.

Re: OT maps help

[Stan Halpin]

I know what you mean, have used G maps that way myself. On iOS, I don’t see a 
way. I know that, when driving, if I turn off the selected route, Maps quickly 
adjusts, does a silent recalc, and on from there. But for planning, I seem to 
be stuck just choosing from the three route options offered up.

Re: Let's test the list!

[Stan Halpin]

Rick, we have a whole-house surge protector, it is wired in through the main 
circuit panel. It seems to help. Or maybe my running in circles three times 
shouting “boo Canon, boo Nikon, yeah Pentax” is what has provided the 
protection. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Re: OT: Print Scanner

[Stan Halpin]

I have used ScanCafe for slides, no complaints.
But also I do have the Epson v 39 that has been mentioned, I use it mostly for 
documents. But I think it is ok for old family prints. Tomorrow I’ll scan and 
post an old family print which I’ll do at 100, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 3600… 
We’ll see.

Toronto meet-up?

So, Toronto. We fly in midday Thursday, 10 August. No car, just local 
transport. We’ll probably do typical tourist visits like to the CN tower on 
Friday/Saturday. Open to suggestions for a meet-up along the way. Departing on 
our travel adventure that Sunday morning…

Re: Whatever became of this lens?

[Stan Halpin]

I have the DFA 15-30 which is a very nice lens. I have stopped carrying it when 
traveling - too large. For the occasional wide shot I carry an A series 20mm.
The 15-30,24-70, and 70-200 will probably be up for sale later this year - 
still trying to resolve camera and lens needs vs my too large inventory.

I’ve been thinking…

[Stan Halpin]

After the hiatus of 18+ months in our travels due to the pandemic and 
associated shut downs, punctuated by a flooded house, a rental house destroyed 
by a falling tree, and then the death of my brother last November I have been 
thinking deep thoughts. 
Relevant to this group in particular is I have been  wondering why I have so 
much stuff. My brother’s passing and the time and effort I’ve put into helping 
my sister-in-law deal with his accumulation of (mostly Pentax) photo gear, 
slides, prints, negatives (many going back to my father’s K-32 slides from the 
early 50s, my Grandmother’s Kodak camera shots in the early 1920s and studio 
family shots before that) etc. have convinced me that I need to clean out a few 
closets. 

I have long trips coming up in June and August; in September and through the 
fall I will be giving/selling/auctioning much of my seldom used gear. The 
*ist-D might stay as a curio item on the shelf, but the ME-Super, K-01, K-5, 
WG-60, Q-S1, K-3ii will go. I will probably keep one K-1 and one 645Z, but may 
decide to keep just two FF or MF bodies and ditch the other system totally. 
Plus assorted lenses, even for the system I retain. Yes, the 15-30, 24-70, 
70-200 are a great set, but I am just not likely to ever carry them with me on 
anything but a road trip, and I don’t see many road trips in my future. We’ll, 
maybe to Grandfather Mountain…
Anyway, don’t be surprised to see flashes of lightening and  clouds of dark 
smoke from this direction as the gears turn as I try to decide what to keep and 
what to let go.

Re: How to view this week’s rare hybrid eclipse

[Stan Halpin]

Today’s eclipse? Australia and region. Next year I will be in that general area 
about this time. Meanwhile, next year about this time, a Total Eclipse will be 
visible almost from our house here In Michigan. My travel calendar is obviously 
out of synch with celestial events.

Re: Vacation suggestion

[Stan Halpin]

You say “not the same thing…”. Why not?  Just for discussion…

I sat through an on-line workshop yesterday afternoon, Tim Grey on How to Plan 
for a Trip. His base example was Rome, whether talking about useful weather 
apps or packing tips or day-by-day route planning. But where/what to 
photograph? One approach he suggested was to start with google images. He found 
about 1.5 million images (Google or Twitter, I lost track) which pretty well 
summed up places and viewpoints in that city. 

I was reminded of a few years ago, in Venice, with Gianfranco. He chided me for 
the photo I was setting up for, an evening shot of the Grand Canal, gondolas in 
the foreground, the bends in the canal, Sun on the buildings in the distance. 
Too cliche, too much like a postcard? Yes, he had a point. But. No one else had 
ever seen that scene nor would anyone ever seen that scene again. Similar, 
sure. But my image was uniquely what I was seeing at that point in time. And if 
others had had a similar experience, good on them. But I was pleased to see 
what I saw and to be able to capture it. 
Yes, we explored and found different viewpoints and different scenes, but their 
uniqueness didn’t make them better or worse. One fun experience:  Meg was 
starting to take a photo of a women on a third floor balcony, hanging her 
laundry. The lady objected. We backed off, didn’t point cameras at her. But we 
did start taking pictures of her reflection in a nearby puddle! Once we started 
away, it was fun to see how many people stopped to look into that puddle, 
trying to see why we had been so intently studying it. 

In short, unless you are shooting for stock photos and don’t want to have your 
images lost in the crowd, just shoot what pleases you. And then step aside 
because 27 others want to capture that same view, and that’s ok.

Re: Vacation suggestion

[Stan Halpin]

Long ago (51 years ago or so) a colleague took a photo workshop in Yosemite- 
senior instructor was Ansel Adams. A major insight he brought back was Ansel’s 
advice to use Polaroid film to preview exposure and composition prior to the 
35mm or 6x6 exposure.

Toronto, early-mid August…

[Stan Halpin]

Looking way ahead. We are doing an Alaska coastal trip in August, Vancouver 
B.C. up to Seward and back. I had originally planned extra time in Alaska but 
decided to try something totally different. So, we’ll fly to Toronto Thursday 
morning, 10 August, stay in a downtown hotel Thursday-Sunday, depart for 
Vancouver on Via Rail sleeper car Sunday morning 13 August.

Suggestions for activities in Toronto and region during those three days would 
be much appreciated!

Re: Old Shutterbug articles

[Stan Halpin]

I wish my brother John had done more sorting and purging. But his life got 
complicated by Parkinson’s etc in 2015 and he was unwilling/unable to do much 
with his photo archives or other stuff after that. Physical and cognitive 
decline.
With his images, my dilemma is that my sister-in-law will have a different 
filter than I do. I see 30-40 interior shots of some unfurnished vacant 
apartments. I would delete the whole batch. No esthetic value, no context. But 
she might say “OMG those were the two whirlwind days we spent apartment hunting 
when I moved to Buda! Gotta keep those!” So I am trying to sort/organize by 
subject and time and location, then I’ll hand it back to her to figure out what 
to keep.
John got his first 35mm camera in 1957. He scanned many of the images from the 
367 rolls of slide film that her shot over the years. One of the upsides of 
this project for me is rediscovering scenes from my teen years, shots of my 
parents back then, etc.

Re: Lightroom & computer question

[Stan Halpin]

Thanks Larry. Totally agree with both points: (1)  file organization should be 
such that it helps people find images, not just so that LR or other software 
can find stuff. My brother has his CDs for example, well sorted by image 
capture date. Which is fine if you have his calendar and list of key event date 
times. And (2) I’ll test any possible solutions with a small sample.

I told my sister in law this evening that I had recovered 39,000+ Digital 
images from 2000-2011. And I showed her a small sample from 2004. Her reaction: 
“why did he keep those!?! I would have thrown those away!” In short, she won’t 
be compulsive about retaining everything -she wants reasonable access to key 
images of important times and places. (They both worked quite a bit outside the 
U.S. and did much travel…) so my.challenge is to help her ID and organize what 
is important to her, not necessarily what my brother would have wanted to 
preserve.

If I had known I would be doing this, I would have started a year ago when my 
brother still had the mental capacity to help with this project!

days after onset. Give your attention to your temperature etc. Treat the 
symptoms!
Meg had a horrible cough for several days, I had minor cough, one day of sore 
throat and moderately high temp. So a week later she was Negative, 4 weeks 
later I was marginally Positive still, Negative at the 6 week mark. But all of 
that is not diagnostic of anything, only an indicator that yes I had been 
exposed.
I did do occasional tests, contrary to my advice above, but only because I 
needed documentation and clearances for travel.

Re: May PUG Countdown

[Stan Halpin]

One of my favorite computer screen saver images, unfortunately, is not by me, 
not with a Pentax as far as I know. A NASA image, a shot from the Rover on 
Mars. A faint rocky foreground, dark sky, small distant “star” which is 
actually Earth. When I saw the Geology theme, that image immediately came to 
mind! Instead I’ve submitted an image of a big chunk of geology…

Re: Gallery of 15-30 photos

[Stan Halpin]

I don’t have a flicker acct, couldn’t star/fave directly there… 
I am always impressed by the technical expertise needed to get the star shots, 
but the images themselves are usually not my favorite viewing. In this 15-30 
set, what really caught my eye was the next-to-last shot, the waterfall (?)… 
Very nice!

Re: One thing I really do not like about the K-1

[Stan Halpin]

On my recent trip, Day 1,  I pulled out card 1, tried to download the day’s 
images. Nada. Zip. Zero. WTF! Card back into camera, fiddled, eventually saw 
that everything was being recorded to card 2. I found that eventually, once 
card 2 filled up, new images then started recording onto card 1. But, really?

Thanks for confirming that it is not just me!

Re: While we're discussing Mac LR Classic and drives...

[Stan Halpin]

Rick, I have several 4, 8, and 10TB OWC drives. My older 4TB holds most of my 
photos. It is on a high shelf in the closet. My newest 10TB has a copy of 
everything. My two 8TB hold my working backups A and B which I also copy to 
every few weeks. My 2020, 2021, and 2022 images are on my internal drive. If I 
had only one external holding everything, I would be very nervous, even without 
a possible Disk Utility issue. 
So, in short, worried or not, I suggest you get a new 10TB OWC, copy everything 
off the (failing?) 8TB, and continue using the 8TB as primary with frequent 
backups to the newer drive.

Re: Worthwhile feature found in new lightroom

[Stan Halpin]

I agree with Alan, your image after masking is much improved. 
I have played with the new masks a bit, mostly with the sky mask, but haven’t 
started duplicating, adding, subtracting, inverting etc. I have basically zero 
experience with photoshop so this is a whole new world for me. I appreciate the 
inspiration provided by your example.

Re: GESO: Eastern Caribbean

[Stan Halpin]

Thanks Alan and Dan!
One aspect of current cruising is that all guests and crew need to be fully 
vaccinated, and then all must test negative on an antigen test within 48 hours 
of sailing. Had our tests this morning to qualify for the next sailing, we both 
are negative as expected. So, onward!

Re: PDML image sharing

[Stan Halpin]

I had a similar resolution question. I am in the process of moving from a 2009 
laptop to a 2021. My screen savers and desktop images on the 2009 were  from my 
favorites from the 2006-2009 era. On the 2021 they looked terrible, I had to go 
back and find the originals, reprocess and re-export at a higher resolution.

My usual posts are with long-edge set to 1600 pixels; if anyone wanted a copy I 
would be happy to share but I would want to resize the export first.

Re: Photo Hosting Site - Flickr or.....?

If you use Lightroom and have an Adobe account, then I suggest that 
infrastructure. It is simple to drag/drop some images into a Collection, define 
the collection as something you would like synced, et voila you have a gallery

Re: Beach geometry

[Stan Halpin]

You had mentioned your plans before, I am glad it is coming together for you.

I had several work-related trips to England, 2-3 centered on that area between 
Portsmouth and Brighton. I stayed with one of my counterparts who lived in 
Nutborn. That is a wonderful part of the world and a locale I had once thought 
about retiring to!

Re: photographing textile arts

[Stan Halpin]

Hanging fabric may droop of its own weight. I would probable start with a setup 
allowing you to put the material on a flat surface: the floor, a table, etc, 
then shoot down from above. I’ve done a bit of this for for-the-record shots of 
Meg’s, my sister in law’s, and my own (very limited) works. It takes a special 
talent to properly mount/frame fabric and needlework and it would be hard to 
replicate with a temporary setup with the object hung vertically.

Re: A River Runs Through

[Stan Halpin]

Thanks all got your supportive And helpful comments. 
A bit of the back story and a brief update.
We live on a river, the Chippewa about .5 miles downriver from the 
confluence with the Pine River, about two miles upriver from the confluence 
with the Tittibawasee which then joins the Saginaw river and flows into Saginaw 
Bay which is an appendage of Lake Huron. Between them, the Pine, Chippewa, and 
Tittibawasee drain a very large watershed. Basically flat country, meandering 
rivers. We look south over a large bend in the Chippewa, and about a mile to 
our north the Tittibawasee roughly parallels the Chippewa the two getting 
closer and eventually merging at downtown Midland.   
10-12 days ago ( I am loosing track!) a low pressure system parked over 
the region and dumped many inches of rain. The hydro section of our National 
Weather Service predicted a rise of the Tittibawasee up to X feet at their 
river gauge. From past experience I knew that X height would mean approximately 
26-28 inches of water in our garage, but said garage is 30” below the level of 
our single level home, so no big deal. We moved the car etc from the garage to 
higher levels according to a long developed and tested plan.
Then Tuesday a week ago came the big oopsie. The Tittibawasee has 
several small dams not too far upriver from town. They hold back enough water 
to create recreational lakes but also allow the owner to generate/sell hydro 
power. One failed, (predictably given the owners record), the next one 
downstream was failing, the predicted crest was now about five feet higher. Of 
the roughly 40,000 persons in our town, 10,000 (including us) were issued 
immediate evacuation notices. We grabbed a few things and headed for higher 
ground 20 miles west. Not too long after that the East-west road behind us 
closer to town was closed due to water over the road. Two days later we came 
back to our home. The good news was that the second dam partially held, enough 
to slow the flow somewhat, and the eventual crest was only a bit over the 
historic high, which for us meant only 27 3/8 inches of water in the house. 
“ONLY” that much as worst case would have been another 2 feet higher, or more.

Enough for today, I’ll continue with update tomorrow... Slowly recovering, it 
will be weeks or months.

A River Runs Through

[Stan Halpin]

As some of you know, our home was flooded last week, high water at 27 3/8 
inches inside.
So we have been hauling stuff out, a lot to the curb for trash pickup, much 
still to be sorted, decisions about what to try to preserve/restore...
[Side note. Most of my camera gear was high and dry, my computer also, my five 
backup external drive all had water inside which I poured out. We’ll find their 
fate sometime but not now.]

So, sitting tonight going over tomorrow’s schedule and priorities. I mention 
that I want to tackle the 15-20 binders that hold my sleeved negatives and 
contact prints and selected proof prints. Meg says: “why? Why keep those? Will 
you ever use them?” Hmm, well Meg, you have been after me to print a few flower 
macros and most of my favorites were with the 645. I suppose I could go back to 
using a 645Z and go off looking for flowers. Meg says: “That would make more 
sense than trying to recover those thousands of negatives just to find and 
produce 5 prints.”
I think she has a point. Particularly if it turns out that my digital archives 
are also toast.

Starting next  Monday a professional cleaning crew of 5-6 persons will spend 
3-4 days mitigating the flood damage, sanitizing, and cleaning. Another 2 weeks 
after that of high powered fans for drying. Meanwhile we’ll be looking for new 
stove, refrigerator, furnace/boiler, hot water heaters, washer and dryer, 
bedroom furniture, living room furniture... Assuming that our insurance 
coverage comes through, by July this will mostly be behind us and I can revisit 
that thought about a 645Z...
Thought for the day: avoid floods.

Re: PESO: FurFace re-do

[Stan Halpin]

Thanks to all for your comments.
If you follow the original link and then scroll to the next image in my PESO 
gallery you will find a revised image. I lightened it overall (thanks Larry) by 
another .3 stops, I nudged the Shadows slider up a bit (thanks Paul), and I 
tightened the crop (thanks Ann and Ken).

As to reading his expression, actually he is acting like a good model and 
saying “can you see me ok now? Is this a good pose?” This shot is the 2nd or 
3rd in a series, he had been higher in the tree, more obscured by branches in 
the earlier shots. He scampered lower, checked to make sure I got the shot, 
then vanished.

Re: PESO: Seneca Mills Falls

[Stan Halpin]

I suggest a PDML gathering there, we can check out the options on seeking 
permission vs. seeking forgiveness. 
By the way, there are some great turtle-sunning-on-logs shots not far up the 
trail, and 35 miles or so south is Watkins Glen State Park, a great photo venue.

Re: Metaskills Part 1

[Stan Halpin]

Ken, I agree that not many newbies care about the nuts and bolts of exposure, 
but I think Larry’s point is that it would help them if they would only take 
time to understand.
Today I heard a well-done presentation by an art history professor, the general 
context was Picasso’s animal images, but the point was that Picasso invented 
new ways of seeing. But at the base, he was a superb draftsman. He could have 
done anything because he knew the basics. Today’s beginning digital camera 
users can “use” the camera/phone and produce images, but they won’t likely find 
their own vision until they understand their craft fundamentals.

Re: PESO: Seneca Mills Falls

Thanks Adam. My aunt lives in Penn Yan so we are in that vicinity every year or 
two to visit, meet with high school friends, etc. I’ll take another look at the 
falls next time back!

Re: Will Sigma stop making lenses for K-mount?

[Stan Halpin]

One of the reasons I would hate to switch from Pentax is the ready availability 
of good lenses for low prices. eBay. I owned one off-brand lens once, a Sigma 
150-500. There may have been another but basically it has all been Pentax. If I 
were ever going to switch it would be to Nikon for similar ergonomics. But the 
thought of dealing with multiple Nikon lens mounts and incompatibilities puts 
me off.

Re: OT: England in the Dark?

I think Ireland should buy N Ireland (with a loan from t) and then the border

would be that border to maintain. Back to Hadrian’s wall?

Little black furry dog. Perfect!

We had a dog for 15 years. Meg went to the pet store for catnip, came back to

Re: How to kill a wasp nest

[Stan Halpin]

Bill! You left us hanging! Tell us, how did the hamburger turn out? 

I don’t have the same reactions to stings, but my brother carries a meds “kit” 
with him always just in case. Serious business.

My own worst encounter was at our lake property, sitting at the table outside 
with others. I took a sip from the beer can that had been sitting in front of 
me for awhile, the wasp which had gone in to sample my brew didn’t like being 
disturbed and stung me on my lip.

Re: Thoughts on 50th...

[Stan Halpin]

A neighbor of mine in Kansas City had worked as a programmer for a NASA 
contractor. He suggested a software patch (a backdoor) to allow control of 
shuttle operations onboard. Boss said “Not in the specs. Work it on your own 
time if you like.” So he did. And Apollo 13 redirect back home became possible 
because of his code. I am sure there are thousands of other stories of 
too-seldom acknowledged bits of engineering creativity and foresight.

Some place I have the B&W negs of the shots I took of the landing. (From my tv 
screen.)

The K-1 is three years old. The ii version is only one year old, but probably 
only an interim model, something new could be on the horizon. Or, given the 
weight of the camera, it could be that not many are buying the grip, leading to 
an oversupply...

I don’t know what more I could want from a K-1ii follow-on, and don’t expect to 
buy into the next generation. Though if Pentax would offer a 645zii with 
in-body SR, I could be seriously tempted.

Re: OT: Question for UK PDMLers

[Stan Halpin]

Thanks Cotty! I will fill in details as available. 
General plan:Train from Paris to London sometime 4 October, from there somehow 
out to our booked lodging in Shaftesbury. Some by train, some by car? 
Depart LHR mid-day October 8. Everything in between is to be determined, with 
some time but by no means all our time to be spent with Cousin Jean. [Jean is 
the widow of Meg’s father’s Cousin. So first or second Cousin at quite some 
remove.]

GESO: wildlife at sea (5)

[Stan Halpin]

We are on a ship, northbound along the Peruvian/Ecuadorian coast. Pretty much 
confined to quarters.
Meg wasn’t feeling well, went to see the ship’s Med staff. Good news, they gave 
her good meds and advice. Bad news, they said that with her fever she is 
probably infectious and is in “isolation.” But we have a good balcony and the 
weather is pleasant and the wildlife in port and at sea doesn’t seem too camera 
shy.

Re: OT: Question for UK PDMLers

I agree with Ralf. I’m for a long extension to give everyone a chance to take a 
deep breath and reconsider their priorities. I’m planning on Salisbury & 
Shaftesbury this October to visit Meg’s relatives, the plan is to head over 
from Paris by train. If the trains are still running...

And seriously Cotty, thanks for your perspective on the whole situation.
