Pinch and a punch for the first of the month and loads of pictures

Here are the referral stats (where people come from on the net to get to this site) for the last month.

With my problems at the moment it’s just the first 60, the figurers mean the following:
Source/Medium Visits Pages/Visit Avg. Time on Site % New Visits Bounce Rate.

So the best I can get to a chart of local blog popularity.

The picture above is of grains of sand on Kingsgate beach, click on the picture to make it bigger, click on the link http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/blogpicts3/id31.htm for a few others from yesterday evening’s picnic there, I think I took a few hundred more and will put them up in the fullness of time.

here are the rest of yesterdays picts

    Don I got the camera about 2 years ago it’s a Pentax digital slr so all of my old pentax equipment some of it 40 years old fits it.

    The only problem is that when you change lenses and I use about 6 different ones every day, dirt gets in and I am rather lazy about cleaning it.

    I also often use it in manual mode and guess the shutter speed and aperture.

    I often use very wide-angle lenses and mirror lenses hence some very strange effects.

    > it’s a Pentax digital slr

    [ A "Pentax *ist DL" according to information in your JPEG files :-) ]

    How well do the old lenses work with the digital camera Michael ?

    I'm in a similar position of having a collection of old pentax kit (KA mount, I believe), and was wondering how well the old lenses might work with a new Pentax digital SLR. Does the metering still work ok with the old lenses ?

    Gerald the pictures linked to this post used:

    A 500 mm fixed F8 pentax screw mirror lens I would guess it is about 55 years old (you can get a little bayonet conversion ring) most were taken hand held. The automatic metering works fairly well however I usually set it on manual and guess.

    An 80 210 bayonet pentax zoom about 30 years old the camera reads the aperture from the lens fine but you have to focus it manually.

    I used a mixture of auto manual guess and a goffen light meter which I think is over 50 years old.

    A modern fully auto 18 55 mm auto focus metering all work on total auto if you want. I also used a super wide fish eye attachment on this lens and it still works in full auto mode.

    For a few of the shots I used various other cameras I had with me but the pentax is my main preference as for how well it meters about the same as a conventional roll film pentax.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
