Re: GESO - Snow Crystals Snaps
From: Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net We've had pretty steady lake effect snow this week and last night for a few hours I was able to catch it while it was producing well formed single crystals. I stated out playing with the Q but when I saw that there were some good subjects I switched over to the tried and true K-5 setup. You can see the keepers here: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/ Beautiful, Mark! Love'em.

Simply outstanding, Mark. I really love the subtle colour additions. Swarovski would swoon. :-) On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 12:05 PM, Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net wrote: We've had pretty steady lake effect snow this week and last night for a few hours I was able to catch it while it was producing well formed single crystals.

Lit with an AF360FGZ in manual mode at 1/32 power. Exposure controlled via ISO on the camera - these are mostly at ISO 100 with a couple at 80 and one at 200. Thanks for looking! Mark PS: Regarding the Q... I found that the flash *can* be set to manual mode provided that you set it to manual before mounting it on the camera. Once mounted only P-TTL and SB are available. But if you turn on the flash and set it to manual it will stay in manual until the flash is powered off or the setting is changed. -- 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. -- -bmw -- 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.

Wonderful images, as usual. I love the subtle color, the intricate shapes, the detail and the variety of crystals you find and record.

Re: GESO - Snow Crystals Snaps
Thanks, Tom! I set a couple of bits of colored plastic on the flash and they really brightened things up. Thanks for looking - Mark On 1/26/2013 1:39 PM, Tom Cakalic wrote: Absolutely fabulous Mark!
