Afternoon sunshine

Water Warrior 2 · 02-04-2010, 08:29 PM

Went for a nice ride today in sunshine and +12 C temps(54 F). Stopped at a viewpoint just North of Horseshoe Bay where the ferries come in. Hope the pics come through.

Hmm, pics don't look near as nice as I had hoped. Operator error with the camera no doubt.

Hi, Mr. WW.
Congrats that you could have good riding finally.
Photos look O.K. for me.
It's typical Digital Camera Photos; facing bright light.

I try to adjust some details using MS Photo Gallery.
Add shadow brightness, add contrast...little bit.. ha ha ha (still not good..^^

Usually my pics are better than these. As handy as a digital is, I would still like to be using my 1975 Pentax SLR. It is in perfect condition but batteries are no longer available. No idea why I keep it.

Have you tried "batteries +". I'm sure they're online and they say they carry rare and hard to find batteries.

Looks like a nice day for a ride. Better weather than we had. I did 55 miles yesterday in temps from 26 F to 32 F. I didn't take any pictures. It was too cold.

Digital has its advantages. Here's what can be done with Adobe Photoshop in 3 minutes or less. A really serious editing effort would yield better results, I'm sure.

Did Pentax fit a special battery? I've still got my Olympus from the same era, & it just uses the "aspirin" type batteries that you can still get everywhere. :??:

My Pentax must use an odd battery. Just a little coin shaped thing but haven't found one in years. Maybe this is a good time to go on a search to keep me busy and out of trouble.

You could search by getting on your bike and going from one battery store to another until you find one. At least it would be a good excuse to go riding.
