I had a medical appointment at lunchtime today, so I thought I'd take some pictures. Normally when I go to the Wetlands Wildlife Trust I take the 150-500. but I thought I'd try something different so I packed the DFA100 and DA*50-135. I hoped it would make me think a bit more. All the way there I was wondering if I had made a mistake, but looking at the results I am quite pleased. I like the 150-500, but it just does not give the clarity or colour if you do not need 500mm.

All thoughts welcome.

Thankyou for looking.

...But not on any of the older Pentax flashes Peter?

I would say Game ON, but Alien got probed today and he's a bit grumpy.

HE actually told me that has "only used it twice". Ok - that says it is not high enough to cause a catastrophic failure, but id did not seem to me to be proof that there there was no potential long term problem.

I'm surprised to hear that John - is there no maximum safe voltage on the K20?

Can anyone tell me what it is and if it is safe for a K20?

TIA.

Seconded.

I did an article for a non photographic forum on posting images. I tried a few hosting sites and found Photobucket to be the easiest to set up and use as a simple host for posting pictures on forums. Flickr was a bit of a performance, although I have heard it said that it has more advanced features and better re-sizing software than Photobucket.

Fomopan? I am sure I have prescribed that to try to get rid of Alien.

More seriously Mrs Oggy has toddled back to Ireland for the long weekend, so party at Oggy Towers.

What should I do while she is away? There are obvious things like leaving the toilet seat where it was last used and setting it as required at next use.

The Rock music/Irish Folk balance is now set to 100/0.

There's got to be other things I can get up to while she is away. Any suggestions?

BUM (not shouting) used to be a company that made accessories for BMW motorcycles.

I found that when I was experimenting with DNG, the file size tended to be much bigger than PEF. Not the end of the world, but you may need more cards.

I was going to say that.

The colours are a give-away. The grey is so that it would blend into the sea when viewed from above.

HG has the right mark for the teardrop canopy on the Spitfire. It was the later models which had it.
