Thanks for your comments. We spent a W/E at a rustic lodge in the area. 
Unfortunately it was very hot (over 40°C every day) - thank goodness for 
aircons!


The back lighting & glare was terrible. That's about as good as I could 
get. Also, the shutter speed was a bit slow (1/1000) for H/H at 500mm.


Lake Panic is an impoundment on a tributary of the Sabi River which runs 
past the Skukuza Camp. The bird hide is on a bend in the upper reaches - 
a Mecca for bird photographers who sit there in numbers for the whole 
day with their long lenses. Various animals appear on the banks too. Not 
my scene at all - we just paid a short visit.

Re: PESO: A strange looking bird

Interesting indeed. Darters are unknown species in our area.
About sharpness: with most Pentax camera's I think there is only one 
acceptable setting for wild life that is AF-S with spot AF aiming for 
the eyes while saying a little prayer .

Hi, all,

Does anyone have an extra AA grip available/for sale for the SFXn/SF1n that 
gives the camera the ability to take 4 AAs instead of one 2CR5 battery?

Thanks,
Joe

Hope it works ou.

I bought an iMac 27 Retina 4K in 2015. I think I paid about 3K. Still working

I'm afraid that the longer I live, the more I seem to expand.  

Thanks to PG my home Linux box got fried, I bought a used mobo off a friend, 
tried to build up a box, ran into some boot issue, that's when I went with the 
NVME card, but the mobo wouldn't boot off it.  Grumble frotz, I was in the 
middle of getting ready for the move to Riverside so the whole kit is 
collecting dust about 400 miles from here.

I was looking into this not too long ago, data rates on NVME are a lot higher 
than SATA.  

A quick google finds:
https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/pc-performance/two-types-m2-vs-ssd

For the cost difference, I'll future proof it.  

In the grumble grumble dept, I might actually have an nvme SSD sitting in a

Re: I'm looking for an external drive bay

[Larry Colen]

I realized that I was asking the wrong question.  An external NVME SSD over 
USB-C would give me much better performance, and I really only need access to 
the large drives when rummaging through my full archive, rather than my working 
files.  

The SSD would be quieter and faster than spinny drives, and would be excellent 
for first level "backup".  In a while, when I run out of space on my current 
drives, I could build a new NAS for my everything archive, and relegate my 
current drives to offsite backup.

I think I have that in thunderbolt-2 and have been less than thrilled with the 
issues I had with T-bolt until I switched over to USB-3. I was just going to 
take the drives out of it and put them in something else.  I wonder if there is 
something wonky with mine.

Re: I'm looking for an external drive bay

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I've been using OWC's Mercury Elite Pro drive enclosures for many years, one 
per drive. Not one has failed or had any problems at all, and they're as quiet 
as your drives are. 
https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB

My standard setup has four of them connected to a USB 12 port hub, connected to 
whatever Mac mini or MacBook I happen to be using, either to a direct USB 3 
port or to a TB port using a TB to USB3 adapter. 

If you want something to reduce cabling, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual with 
3-Port Hub handles two drives with up to 40TB capacity. I could see moving to 
two of these enclosures to reduce desktop clutter, but have no particular 
motivation to do so based upon failures and such so far.

I'm looking for an external drive bay

[Larry Colen]

When I got a trashcan mac I also got an OWC thunderbolt 2 external drive bay to 
go with it.  Unfortunately, not only is it a bit loud, but when I use it as 
thunderbolt rather than USB it has a tendency to disconnect from my mac, so 
that I'm constantly getting warnings about missing drives etc.

Rather than investing in another external T-bolt bay, I want to get a USB-C 
external drive bay, and just use a T-bolt to USB-C adapter.  USB-C cables are a 
lot less expensive, and I'll be able to use it with newer machines.  

I don't need RAID. At the moment my backup strategy uses multiple copies of 
JBOD drives.  I don't mind it being something that would allow me to switch to 
RAID later, or I'll just invest in a newer NAS when it's time to retire my 
older Synology.  

My main archive is large enough that I don't want to hang multiple external 
drives off my computer.

I need at least two drive bays, three or more would be better.

Does anyone have experience with a good, quiet, preferably inexpensive, USB-C 
external drive enclosure?

Looking for gray-and-white *ist strap

Hi, all,

My favorite strap to use with the black-and-chrome K-01 is actually the soft 
gray/white Pentax strap that came with the 35mm film *ist camera (see reference 
pic here):
https://photos.app.goo.gl/etahXSy92VPu59219

Does anyone have an extra of this strap for sale or trade?

I have a LN Pentax 100th anniversary strap available.

Re: Funny looking squirrels

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Nicely captured and presnted.

Our fox doesn't seem interested in birdseed;  there are plenty of
squirrels, rabbits and chickens around to attract them.  Deer are, however,
a huge problem with bird feeders;  I now only put out 2 thistle feeders for
the finches, plus two suet and nuts/berries feeders for the woodpeckers,
high up so the deer don't go after them.
When I used to put out sunflower seed, I used a nice "squirrel-proof" metal
feeder.  One evening I found it on the ground, and reinstalled it higher up
and more securely .  That mnigghrt it was agin on the ground.  Then my
neighbor showed me an image of the young black bear that was causing the
problem.  That is when I decided only  thistle and small suet feeders high
up.

Thanks for sharing.

Funny looking squirrels

[Larry Colen]

A common problem when people try to put out birdseed is squirrels going after 
the birdseed.  

Lately I’ve been having something else doing the same:

These were shot through the screen in the bathroom window, so they could suck 
less, but they’re much better than what I’ve been able to get so far:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720301041720
I think this one is larger, it seems bolder, and has a spot over it's left hip
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/52262241663/in/album-72177720301041720/
The one in the frames after 399 is smaller, more skittish and doesn't seem to 
have the spot on its hip
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/52262721915/in/album-72177720301041720/

These are what I’ve been able to capture with my phone, I did get some nearly 
acceptable video:

Given that the original poster was at least considering a non-ransomware
version of Photoshop (which would almost certainly cost even more, and
would also not have free updates), Elements seemed to be worth mentioning.

Affinity Photo is my favourite photo editing software for tasks where LR

For 55 euro you get a copy with free future updates.

Photoshop Elements does everything you mention above (and a lot more).
I suspect the UI will be quite familiar to anyone used to Photoshop.

Looking for Photoshop replacement

[Ralf R Radermacher]

DxO Photolab 5 doesn't run under Mojave so I've bit the bullet and
updated to Big Sur. As was to be expected, some of my older software
won't work any longer. LR6 still does as long as I won't re-install it
and so should have Photoshop CS6, except that it doesn't.

Given that most of my photo editing happens DxO, I need something to
replace Photoshop only for occasional processing of other images. Just
brightness, contrast, gamma, colour balance, cropping and re-sizing.

Any suggestions besides GIMP?

Alternatively, which non-ransomware version of Photoshop does still run
under Big Sur, if any?

Someone wh worked for Delphi.


I feel this thread may be a thinly-disguised party for bashing
the Pentax 67.

If so, some basic truths must be revealed.

First of all, you should know that the Pentax 67 was never
designed as an actual camera for shooting: it was a display
device to be hung out in front of camera stores, over the
sidewalk. The first photographer to actually cock and fire one
noticed that, though his hair had turned white from the
shockwave, his sinuses had instantly cleared. After the hernia
operation, he used his Pentax 67 constantly, especially at the
onset of a cold or flu.

Body-builders were also attracted to the Pentax 67. They didn't
care that portraits from these cameras always showed people who
looked wide-eyed and startled, as if they had been recently
frightened by a loud noise. These cameras were great for pumped
and ripped upper-bodies.

Press photogs cherished their P67's when covering hurricanes and
tidal waves: they'd shoot with their Nikons and lash themselves
to their Pentaxes! But I digress.

You asked about the kerplunk, er kachunk, eh? Well, long, long
ago, before "red eye" was a problem for flash photographers,
Pentax 67 shooters were coping with the problem of "red EAR":

Color portraits and candids shot with Pentax 67's showed subjects
with crimson ears from the repeated auditory abuse they suffered
each time the camera was fired.

By the way, rumor has it that Pentax is currently
researching a solution based on existing red-eye reduction
technology (a series of quick pre-flashes before the real
flash fires).

The new Pentax 67 may include new red-EAR reduction
technology, which slams a heavy screen door a few times
before the actual exposure, to numb the subjects' ears
immediately before the shutter actually trips.

The other problem directly attributable to the impact of the
Pentax 67 mirror-return, is a type of focus blur. After the
shutter-release is tripped, the sonic boom begins advancing from
the camera toward the subject at mach 1. The wave-front reaches
the subjects just as the shutter opens, and the subjects are
knocked backwards, sometimes by mere millimeters, sometimes by a
zipcode or two.

Consequently, Pentax 67 lenses have an extra focusing mark
on their focusing-rings, similar to the "infra-red focus"
mark on other lenses.

This SSR pre-focus mark ("Sonic Subject Relocation")
predicts the focus for the spot where the subjects will
come to rest after the blast. It is to be used only when
shooting the P67 in small unmuffled rooms.

Re: Looking for funny text about 67 mirror slap

[Daniel J. Matyola]

It could also part crowds.

Decades ago, I was in DC on a lovely morning and decided I wanted to get a
different angle on the Lincoln Memorial.  I took my film 35 mm SLR out of
my camera bag and started wandering around, just looking through the
viewfinder from various vantage points.  I never got off a shot.  Every
time I thought I might have something, someone in the throng pushed or
jostled me, or just stepped right in front of me.

I went back to the camera bag to put away my SLR.  On a whim, instead of
closing the bag, I pulled out my Pentax 6X7, with the wooden grip and the
huge lens.  Heavy as it was, I trudged back towards the memorial.
Miraculously, the mob in front of the memorial parted, to let me through.
People actually moved aside and watched in awe as I struggled to get that
demon up to my eye and frame an image.  I swear I heard an audible "AHH"
when I pressed the shutter release and that resounding "CLUNK" bounced off
the Marble walls.  'Twas a strange but rewarding experience.

Looking for funny text about 67 mirror slap

Way back there used to be a text somewhere in the internet, joking about

relocation or some such. The theory was that the mirror slap was so loud
it would push a person backwards and result in unsharp photos.

I can only accomodate 500 pc puzzles easily which I gather, solve, then 
list on ebay..
I certainly don't need (no pun) to bake bread - easy access here to much 
of it, Definitely doing it
for the pleasure and th learning.. I'm usually more a soup an entry girl 
too.

Thanks Ann. Yes - foggy mood, with the "outside" seeming to be 
distant and fading :-)


Afraid I haven't graduated to baking bread yet :-) Our local bakery 
does a very good sourdough at a good price (also does the best meat 
pies...) and is only 500m away, so it's always a mandatory visit on 
our 1-shopping-trip-per-day allocation.

I've been cooking lots of soups and other meals though.
We have five 1000-piece jigsaws awaiting a table large enough to do 
them on. That table is awaiting delivery, which unfortunately won't be 
until some time after stage 4 lockdowns are lifted. :-(


Ciao,

Pete

G'day Pete

Good to here from you in Lockdown Melbourne.  Hang in there - the case numbers
are dropping.

Watching case numbers up here with some trepidation but they seem to be holding
steady at around 10 or less per day, for now.

Interesting photo - but the somewhat sombre feeling to it seems to fit the mood
of most of us these days.

Cheers & stay safe

With the DA40 on my K100 or K-x I could fit it in a cargo pocket and have an

Have you discovered the film cannister lid that works as a lenscap for the DA40?


I have now! :-)

We absolutely love the Walrus and the Carpenter restaurant in Bath.
Decorated with all sorts of hippie memorabilia. Great food. The owner
took an immediate liking to me and Lisa for some reason and chatted us
up quite a bit: "I did the 60's really well, so I have a bit of
short-term memory loss". Brilliant place.

Maiden Castle is in Dorset, not really the Cotswolds, but doable if they have a 
car. I love Maiden Castle and the whole of West Dorset. If they are 
literary-historical types and are in the area I recommend a trip to Bincombe 
with a copy of Hardy's "The Melancholy Hussar".

Re: OT, looking for some GB travel advice for a couple of friends

[Bob Pdml]

If they're in that area they should also visit Wells., which is still medieval, 
and Britain's smallest city. http://www.visitwellssomerset.co.uk/

Stonehenge too, of course.

There's so much good food in London it can be impossible to choose and you end 
up eating McDonalds... I would recommend a visit to Brick Lane in London, where 
there are hundreds of excellent Indian (Bangladeshi really) restaurants, as 
well as numerous other types of restaurant in nearby Spitalfields. Upmarket 
Indian eating is available at Cafe Spice Namaste.
https://www.cafespice.co.uk/

A site worth visiting in that area if they can get to it is Denis Severs House:
https://www.dennissevershouse.co.uk/

There is a cluster of good restaurants in and around Smithfield, Clerkenwell 
and Farringdon, where I work, including Michelin-starred Club Gascon and its 
baby brother Comptoir Gascon. They also have a place on nearby Chancery Lane 
called Cigalon.
http://www.cigalon.co.uk/
http://www.clubgascon.com/about.php
http://www.comptoirgascon.com/

On Clerkenwell Road and Saint John's Square there are several good but not 
Michelin-standard eateries, including, if they can find it (on Jerusalem 
Passage), the ever-popular-with-PDMLers Dovetail. 
http://dovepubs.com/aboutdovetail/

A short walk away you have St John, another Michelin place famous for 
"nose-to-tail eating": https://stjohnrestaurant.com/a/restaurants/smithfield , 
and Hix Oyster and Chop House: 
https://www.hixrestaurants.co.uk/menu/hix-oyster-chop-house/

Then there's the other 50,000,000 streets of London... Whereabouts in London 
are they staying?

If you're in the Cotswolds and going to Avebury, up the Fossway there's a Roman 
Villa that's worth a visit. In the general area, there's a wonderful earthworks 
called "Maiden's Castle" that's worth a half day hike, and of course there's 
the huge Uffington White Horse and the walk along the ridge above it, including 
a Neolithic burial site called Waylen's Smithy (the model that JRR Tolkien used 
for the Barrow Downs in Lord of the Rings...).

For good places to eat, you can't really go wrong at any of those places. Bath 
has some great restaurants. The Wye Valley has some nice pubs so I believe and 
if you can't find somewhere good to eat in London there ain't much point in 
gettin out a bed !

If it's got a Michelin star on the door, you can't go wrong!

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

If you're in the Cotswolds and going to Avebury, up the Fossway there's a Roman 
Villa that's worth a visit. In the general area, there's a wonderful earthworks 
called "Maiden's Castle" that's worth a half day hike, and of course there's 
the huge Uffington White Horse and the walk along the ridge above it, including 
a Neolithic burial site called Waylen's Smithy (the model that JRR Tolkien used 
for the Barrow Downs in Lord of the Rings...).

OT, looking for some GB travel advice for a couple of friends

[Larry Colen]

I've got a couple of friends from the Oregon coast heading to GB in a 
short while.  There are quite a few folks on this list that live, or 
visit that part of the world, though my memory and geographic knowledge 
isn't good enough to know if anyone is within even a day's drive.


But, if anyone knows the area Mark and Kaety are heading to, and can 
recommend sites, and more importantly good places to eat, let  me know 
and I'll introduce you folks by email.


In a FB Messenger discussion, Mark said:

want to eat food so good it makes us cry.

Thanks Ken -  The clouds and the golden hour light made me stop 
tophotoon the cold windy day.
They were a bit of a distraction for me too.. but there was a high 
chicken wire fence that I couldnt get aboveI had to shoot through the 
slim opening in the fence where the gate was that was locked . I decided 
they were subtle enough not to even attempt removal, and also they are 
there.


Hope you et well yesterday :-)

Peso - View from Roosevelt Island looking east

[ann sanfedele]

You can change the size when you are viewing the page... th "L" is the 
one that fits on my monitor nicely.


Roosevelt Island is in the East river - The neighborhood viewed here is 
a part of Queens borough called Astoria.. bordering on Long Island 
city.. the area where
Amazon has decided to build another  headquarters - that's a short 
distance to the right of the birdge you see here. ..


Not a good move it seems to many,   as the addition of a staff of 25,000 
(yes I said 25,000) to an area where the transportation is already stressed

from crowding as well as weakening infrastructure...

I was visiting a friend on Roosevelt and the view is on the way to the 
subway from her place - I was hurrying to get home before dark.. love 
winter light.
taken with the canon  power shot Sx120 .. I often take The Pentax K5 
when visiting her, but I was carrying too much to bring her so too heavy.

That's only when they were "finished".  They were started up to 500 years 
earlier.

" It always amazes me that 16th century engineering, construction and
craftsmanship allowed the creation of these masterpieces."

Given enough time, manpower and motivation, man has long been able to
create architectural wonders.  Look what the unknown builders of Newgrange
did 5,000 years ago.

Thanks, Paul. 

It took 170 years to build, but it is amazing nonetheless.

Very nice.  It always amazes me that 16th century engineering, 
construction and craftsmanship allowed the creation of these masterpieces.

Sooner or later "different" scares people.

Thanks, Ann!

Lack of time to work on pics is the reason for the slow pace of posting. 
Foiling your cheating is merely a fringe benefit!

Very nice- the framing and exposure seem just right for this sort of thing  - I 
find the interior of the cathedral more
interesting and prettier than the exterior-

I notice you are peso'ing as you add to your gallery -- trying to foil my 
cheating? :-)
