Re: Like a turd in an elevator

It would take some doing for Tony Northrup to be as bad as Kennyboy.  At least Northrup's hands on reviews are made when he actually has the equipment he's reviewing in his hands... The video is amusing though, and points up some of Northrup's illogical preconceptions, but who among us doesn't

Well, that's a nice image, but I still HATE mourning doves. Noisy, annoying and invasive critters. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sat, Mar 5, 2022 at 3:02 PM Paul Stenquist wrote: > First photo I’ve taken with a real camera in

Re: OT; I'm Tired

I shoot my K-5 primarily with consumer lenses which do not weigh a lot so i'm comfortable carrying that gear. My D7200 or older D2h with 70-200 f2.8 VR lens is very heavy and hurts my neck/shoulder after a while. I recently bought the nikon 28-300 which is lighter and easier to carry. I do have a F

I'll bet it's got plenty of depth of field, at pretty much all focal lengths.  I do understand your issues.  I too am tired, and I'm not 74 yet.  One of the reasons I decided to not pursue full frame. On 3/11/2022 9:07 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: I never thought I’d say it, but at 74, I’m worn o

Re: OT; I'm Tired

I feel your pain. I am 80, and getting down on my stomach with the K-5 IIs and my Fa 100 F 2.8 macro to try to shoot crocuses was a real pain. I wound up using the DA 35 2.5 Macro Limited instead and just crawling closer. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery

Several of our camera club members, older like ourselves, have gone with similar set up but Panosonic's, images are good Dave On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 9:07 AM Paul Stenquist wrote: > I never thought I’d say it, but at 74, I’m worn out. I don’t know how much > longer I can keep carrying big glass

Re: March PUG is up

Thanks, Rick! I was in the process of releasing several newly hatched Monarchs, and I had this one on my hand. When I decided to try to get an image before it flew away, I placed it on a a sheet of white fabric I sometimes use to photograph flowers and other smaller items. When I noticed the sh

Re: March PUG is up

That is an interesting and varied gallery. Thanks, Brian, for all your efforts in maintaining the gallery each month. There are a lot of interesting interpretations of the theme. I had taken many similar images -- of my vaccination card, of restaurant shelters, of dog walkers, of empty buildings
