Last episode we left our hero after he reclaimed his prized crab...

Making a clean getaway?

HD PENTAX-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6ED DC AW ƒ/8.0 450.0 mm 1/2000 iso200

Not so fast ibis, gull is giving chase...

HD PENTAX-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6ED DC AW ƒ/8.0 450.0 mm 1/2000 iso250

Worse yet, gull brings reinforcement. *PLOP!* *SPLASH!* Here we go again!

Dejected and hungry, our hero finally gives up...

So what was the moral here? Don't count your crabs before they're down the hatch!
Great story and images! Really enjoyed both!

Sometimes at certain events (festivals, concerts) I enjoy more photographing people rather than the event itself. These are some pictures from RockFolkFest 2019 with the DFA 70-200mm.

Over the years, Hattifnatt, your people shots have impressed. I still remember ones you must have posted a couple of years ago.

Not if Goodtime Eddie Filth has anything to say about it!

Nice sets of series Eric, always a treat!
Thanks Racer, I really appreciate it. I see we have the similar taste in prose, though mine may have been leaning more towards William Dozier.

at the Virginia Arboretum. Met a Nikonister there who's big into birds. I'll have to go back there and see if I can shoot a few.

A friend of mine who teaches a couple of photography classes at a community college asked me about some good sample images. Students are always asking her about ASP-C vs Full Frame and how many megapixels do I need? I sent her to your Flickr page since you have 24MP Fuji and Sony files as well as 36MP K-1 files and you processing is pretty consistent across all of the images. She says she showed her students +/-30 images from your Flickr stream as wells as images from some other photographers who shoot m/4.3 and some from other APS-C and FF cameras. It was approximately 100 images and 100 students (3 classes) rating images simply on the subjective image quality. I don't know anything about the methodology or scoring, but she did tell me that your K-1 (all taken with the FA* 85mm) files where scored the highest by the students. I know 100 students at a community college doesn't mean very much, but I thought that it was interesting. The second highest came from a Nikon Df with a Nikon 58mm F/1.4. Third place was the A7III (images from multiple photographers). Canon 7DII took 4th and images from a Panasonic G9 took 5th. Images from a Fuji XT-2 took 6th. She says the difference between 3rd and 6th was literally 2 votes each. Not significant at all. The only two that stood out were the Pentax K-1 and the Nikon Df and both of those had the best glass which has more to do with it than the sensor. I thought it was interesting and I've been meaning to pass it on for a few months now. She was only selecting images that she thought were really excellent regardless of sensor size or brand, so it kinda of makes sense that there wasn't much difference in scoring across all the images. She didn't select any bad or average images.

Would it even have been possible to select a "bad" image from LeRolls?

There is one he posted recently where the focus is on her rear end and not her eyes, but I assume he was just distracted.

Does that make it bad? I have always thought that the emphasis of focus on the eyes is a bit artificial. Sort of like the fad for using ND filters to make flowing water smooth.

A smokey day, the colors were all muddy, but the contrasts above the smoke were neat.
