Re: Storm Chasing

Thanks for the info, Darren! I doubt I'll ever take it up as a full-fledged "pursuit", as it were. I was actually thinking along the lines of the tours you're talking about. I've been through a few of the high precipitation supercells -- one was just like a hurricane. Though, there was

Re: PESO - peckin'

Wonderful shot, Paul! I had a couple of downy woodpeckers who stopped by frequently last spring and got a few decent shots. None quite as nice as the one you got there, but some that I was really happy with. They're fetching little birds, aren't they? -- Walt On 3/8/2011 9:22 PM, Paul St

Re: Peso - Hoboken station, take 2

I completely agree with Jack, here. There was a certain gauziness about the first shot that really complemented it, people notwithstanding. The more recent shot is lovely, though, and would definitely benefit from being taken on its own terms rather than in comparison to the original. --

Re: PESO Blues Angel

Very nice! I can definitely see a difference in the noise at 3200 compared to the K-x. You might want to make sure that K-5 is locked in a safe for the duration of my trip out west, Larry. I consider myself an honest person, and all ... but I'm only human. -- Walt On 3/13/2011 7:47 AM,

Hi David, This is more along the lines of what you'd need. They're pretty much no-brainers. You just seat them in the enclosure, plug them in, connect them to your USB port, and you're good to go. http://www.amazon.com/3-5-IDE-HDD-Enclosure-Black/dp/tags-on-product/B0018NEQFI -- Walt

Re: OT Hard drives

Yikes! That is a good deal! I like having the enclosure for the sake of portability of the hard drive. But, yes ... if you're just going to pull the files off the drive and not use it anymore: (1) just order that connector, and (2) can I have your old drive? ;-) -- Walt On 3/13/2011 1

Hi all, I get my PDML emails in digest form -- usually about a dozen or so in one bulk email. Up until now, I've been using my web-based gmail interface to read and reply. Problem with that is that it doesn't allow me to reply directly to another list member when appropriate. So, when I r

Many thanks for the advice. All set. Just waiting for the emails. best approach would be to go to individual emails, use a filter to direct pdml mail to its own folder. the its in the nature of digests to break the threads. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net
