Nice set...especially the celestial images.  I like your rendition of
the t-bone musicians. Hope you didn't use the short end of the 18-270 on
the rattler. 🙂

Thanks.  That was my first time playing with astrotracer on the K-3 III.  It does work significantly better than the GPS version. My biggest complaint is that the camera recalibrates every frame, whether you move it, or change settings.

Thanks, I've actually known Riley since he was about 13.  He would play in his father's band at a lot of the swing and blues dances in the Bay Area.  He's an impressive triple threat, never know if he's going to be on the bone, the drums or the base.

Only the short end of its lifespan. Earlier that day my bike toppled and it busted the lens. It was cheaper to replace it with a used tamron 18-250 (which I actually like a bit better) than it was to repair it. I've also since switched to usually carrying a u4/3 camera on my bike rides.  I definitely feel the tradeoff between weight and image quality between the Pentax gear and the Oly.

I just went from month ly to yearly and that was the caseb but, I’m
plunging in Canadian dollars so it’s $14,99 instead of $12:99 US dollars

According to Matt Koskowski...
Well, here's a cut and paste from his blog:

A. Let’s try to break this down and keep it simple. I will use USD
pricing for this, so check your specific country if you don’t live in
the US.

Starting January 15, 2025, the price of the Adobe Creative Cloud
Photography plan with 20GB storage will increase in all countries.

Annual billed monthly: Increase of US$5, from US$9.99 to US$14.99 per month
Annual prepaid: No increase, the price will remain US$119.88 per year
NOTE: This DOES NOT mean that your price will increase on January 15th,
2025 (and it most likely won’t). Please read the rest of the questions
before you call Adobe and change something necessarily.

Let’s look at a few different scenarios:

Person A: Subscribed to the $9.99 Photography Plan (LR, LRC, PS + 20GB
Cloud Space). But, you pay that $9.99/month, ANNUALLY, at $120 once each
year (not $9.99 / month)

Good news! Nothing changes for you. Your price doesn’t go up. You get
the same apps and benefits and you’ll continue to pay $120 annually
(which works out to $9.99 a month). See, I told you it wasn’t that bad.

I’d say to stop reading here, but you’ll probably want to continue on
because this will most certainly get blown out of proportion and your
friends will think the sky is falling. This way, you can be the voice of
reason in the chaotic world that’s to follow 🙂

Person B: Subscribed to the $9.99 Photography Plan (LR, LRC, PS + 20GB
Cloud Space) and pays monthly.

Your plan will stay exactly the same with the same apps and benefits,
but you will now pay $14.99 per month – UNLESS you switch and pay
yearly. In that case, you’ll pay the equivalent of $9.99 per month ($120
annually).

Person C: Subscribes to the $19.99 Photography Plan (LR, LRC, PS + 1TB
Cloud Space) – Nothing changes with your plan and you’ll still be able
to pay the same price monthly or yearly.

Person D: Subscribed to the All Apps plan – Nothing changes in your plan.
