Welcome Ronaldo! One of the best things about shooting with Pentax is all of the excellent older lenses that you can use easily on it. With the Pentax in-body image stabilization, all of those older lenses become even more useful than they were originally! Looking forward to seeing examples of you

A Craigslist Adventure Story

I have a love/hate relationship with Craigslist. I live in a low population density area where the relatively close-by Craigslist deals are few and far between. The "big city" Craigslist is hardly worth looking at, since I will have next-to-no-chance of getting there first 99% of the time. It is no

Strange things do pop up from time to time Walt. I tried to re-format a potentially defective 1 TB drive last week, and was consistently told there was "insufficient memory" for the task by Disk Utility. Apple and Iomega have no idea what that means or what brought it up. On Jun 5, 2012, at 04:

I kind of feel there should be an obvious reason for the cable and arm assembly in the foreground. Beautiful sky,  but I agree it does need an "anchor." Jack Davis http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/jackdavis http://www.photolightimages.com - Original

Re: PESO: Kran i solnedgang

I agree - but it took me a long time to notice they were different shots... they needed to be side by side for me.. I suspected they were slightly different - I'd like the bright spot of the sun to be a little less burned out but thats a nit ann On 6/6/2012 11:46, Daniel J. Matyola wrote:

Gorgeous! The differences are minor. I like the second one a bit better because, on my monitor at least, the rays of light reflected on the surface of the water stand out just a bit stronger. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Wed, Jun 6, 2012 at 11:25 AM, Toralf L

Re: PESO: Struggling Pine

Thanks, Dan! I, also, believe (due to the failure of a couple recent submissions) that the standards may have been tweaked upward in recent weeks. I recently took down a two or three offerings that I had submitted primarily for their influence on the count. No doubt encouraged by the apparent eas

Re: PESO: Struggling Pine

Jack: I agree that the standards of the PPG voters appeared to be a bit lower shortly after the gallery was restarted. I find, however, that the standards seem to be a lot higher the last three weeks, at least judging my hje percentage of my submissions that have been accepted. They still, howeve
