Re: Battery Point Light
Great photo Jack! I agree with Ken as the light buildings on the dark rock are the best part for me. Love the flag and the trees as well. It's funny how so many of these lighthouse buildings are interchangable. The red roofs and white buildings could be Racine Wisconsin just as easily as coastal California. I think many were built within the same 25 year span with federal money. Regards, Bob S. On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 6:36 PM, Ken Waller kwal...@peoplepc.com wrote: Great light, nice subject.

Re: Battery Point Light
Greatly appreciated remarks, Bob! From a daylight visibility standpoint, I guess white makes sense. Red may, also, add.

Re: Battery Point Light
And Jack, That's a mighty good shot with only a 300mm reach! (Sad to say that we went up the coast but stopped short of Eureka. Saw the Redwoods and the Hippies. It was like a trip back to the 60's.)

Re: Battery Point Light
Thanks again, Bob. The Redwoods have been sort of a benign photo frustration for me. Have never gotten a shot even close to what I'd even consider OK. Poor light and close quarters have beaten me...so far.

Re: Battery Point Light
Thanks, Ken. I always carry a bean bag which is fairly weighty. It's made in such a way that it might have worked well if laid over the camera body and rested partially on the lens. I really can't imagine draping my arm over the lens without this lens picking up my heart beat, but I'll keep it in mind. :) Jack --- On Tue, 11/17/09, Ken Waller kwal...@peoplepc.com wrote: From: Ken Waller kwal...@peoplepc.com Subject: Re: Battery Point Light To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 4:36 PM Great light, nice subject.
