at the Art Institute in Chicago, running until May 15th. We saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Lots of work displayed in all 4 galleries in the photography section. Just take the grand staircase, as it's called, to the lower level. Worth a look-see if you're in the area. Cheers, Christin

Very nice, Frank. Great gentle expression here! Really nice. We woke up to a bit of snow on the ground today--mostly on the grass. Very depressing. Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: "frank theriault" To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 11:40

I won't :) Some more trail and error: It doesn't ignore the preflash.If you set the flash to Manual and full power it fires everything at the preflash. In the A setting it has enough power left to fire the flash twice.. Toine On 18 April 2011 18:16, Bruce Walker wrote: > On 11-04-18 12:11 PM, To

Re: PESO - Pussy willows

Wow tried this when I got home and it works. Never realized the slave function of the Pentax flashes had some intelligence and ignored the P-TTL preflash. This opens new options. The A setting of the flash is another great tool for this. Jostein and bruce Thanks! Maybe I should read the manuals...
