This must be very satisfying to "Orb Shooters", they no longer have to worry about losing their sacred Orbs to a Firmware upgrade. I ran across one last week at a local Pub, the poor guy was drinking himself to death and finally just blurted out "Life without Orbs won't be worth living!" We tried to console him, but he was inconsolable......lost at the thought of taking gorgeous landscapes and portraits, fun shots and street shooting, but having to go without his favorite subject....Orbs. I'm not sure he is still with us, but I pray he lived long enough to get the Good News that Orbs survived the Firmware Update! Isn't life wonderful!
Meanwhile, this is what I shoot, a lot of Misc junk, and some more serious work, but Orbs seem to deny me the same thrills so many enjoy. I have tried to get my own Orbs, and have even daydreamed of my own Orb Gallery downtown, but they apparently don't like my style?

I did get excited once with this shot...but on further testing, I found the Orbs were no better than those obtained with my K5, K20D, or K10D...even my little DS could do this well. I guess I was just meant to go through life suffering great cameras..... my K5 still performs flawlessly after almost a year of shooting. I have even let Otis use it a time or two to see if he could make it fail.......no luck whatsoever.
I think I'll take a shot of whiskey and lay down now...I know how that guy at the Pub felt.....like life has given him an apple instead of a lemon.
I thought I had it.....

Thanks for the Heads Up on the failure...or success...depending on how you see it. Many Orb shooters will be celebrating this announcement......I'll just have to learn to be happy without all those Orbs they cherish.
Best Regards!
