PESO: Gotta love May on the Great Plains

This evening's weather performance: Furnas County Edition People come from all over the world to see the weather in May on the Great Plains. Here is an image from tonight's supercellular storms in south central Nebraska. Taken with a Pentax K-3 and a Sigma EX 10-20mm f4-5.6. For me, it was a "one

OT - IR Conversion

With my IR converted K10D only working with manual lenses, I decided to convert another camera for IR use. Sent my old Nikon P6000 in for the process. While this is a very flawed camera in terms of poorly implemented features, it takes good photos and produces a pretty robust 13.5 MP file. The

Re: PESO - Early Dogwood Blossoms

I want to like this, Rick, but the very strong background is just too distracting. While I believe I'd like this more is you were to crop the blossoms to a more prominent position. A very worthy effort, Rick. Jack - Original Message - From: "Rick Womer" To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List"

I haven't run into those issues... For me, LR6 just seems to be hanging at random intervals... I've had to "force quit" more times than I care to mention... There is an update out there... 6.0.1, I think? Just installed that today, we'll see. If the hanging thing sorts out, I'll be on the looko

Gee, I've been thinking about the very same thing. The M10 looks like it would be a great compromise for size and capability. The kit you have is about what I would want to end up with. I suspect like you, I would not be carrying around my Pentax gear nearly as often. Thanks for the comments
