Re: PESO: Wedding on the Beach

Thanks, Mark and Chris. Yes, I took other images of the wedding, but this is the one I chose, because of the juxtaposition of the wedding party and the folks lolling on the beach nearby. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 2:33 AM, Chris Mitchell

Re: PESO: Breaching Whale

Thanks for your comments, Aahz, Jack and Bob. The shutter speed was 1/320, and the aperture f7. Because when never knows where the whale will rise, a bit of DoF is needed, but the speed has to be enough to stop blur from moving the camera quickly and from the motion of the whale. Dan Matyola htt

True - it's a pain if you have to scroll far enough to get to a state that begins with a letter toward the end of the alphabet. OTOH, most lists will get you in the ballpark by hitting the first letter of the state you want. I can get to Wisconsin usually with three taps of the "W". -p On 3

PESO - Shave and a Haircut

I shot a roll of Tri-X in the Leica iiif yesterday, with the Summicron 50/2.0. I figured I ought to shoot some real BW film, rather than converting color. Of course that meant I had to dig out my developing tank and 10 year old chemicals. Thank goodness for the Hewes reels, which are still easy
