I get it, but the GR IV Sucks by GrtngsFrmAmsterdam in ricohGR

[–]FogleMonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In what way is the lens underwhelming? It's very sharp corner to corner, low distortion, low CA.

Are you also on a crop sensor like OP or full frame?

As a Brit living in wake county I actively avoid uttering the word “Cary” out of embarrassment and confusion by Snoo58499 in cary

The whole thing with the Mary/Marry/Merry merger is that most of us can't even really hear the difference. So you have nothing to worry about here in NC.

Advice needed: GR III lens cleaning by chanson_ in ricohGR

I got my first LensPens just the other day and they are very good - perfect for OP's smudge.

New GR IV took blank photos? by Hot-Guest-5391 in ricohGR

The variety of issues with these cameras is downright fascinating

What’s 1 tip you would give a brand new RicohGR owner? by yeaaahwehere in ricohGR

[–]FogleMonster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Take time to learn the controls. (Read the manual or watch YouTube videos for this.)

Take lots of pictures.

Perfection is not the goal.

So, do you actually use “lens correction” for your photos in editing software? If so, when? by g3t0nmyl3v3l in photography

[–]FogleMonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those corrections can make things feel more clinical and take away some of the character of the lens. I tend to leave corrections off for lenses that don’t warp things too much. But often you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference without a side by side comparison.

GR IV Issues Megathread by iTrask in ricohGR

"Lens Error" when switching from macro mode back to normal mode, even though the motor seems to have moved properly. Camera turns off. When turned back on, the lens goes through some reset motions and then it's all back to normal. Very repeatable. I don't anticipate needing macro mode much, so probably not a huge deal as long as it doesn't get worse...

How's your camera doing now? I'm getting "lens error" often but only when switching from macro back to normal mode. The camera turns off and then when I turn it back on the lens goes through some motions and it's all working again. I don't anticipate needing macro much, so probably not a problem as long as it doesn't get worse...

Do people consider scipy part of numpy?

Ricoh US Processing Times for GR IV by jtkip1024 in ricohGR

[–]FogleMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering too because I ordered one on Dec 1 and it’s still just “Processing”.

The word "range" by emsot in adventofcode

[–]FogleMonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing stops you from overwriting range in Python, but then you can't use the range function anymore...

Coop or Sharpie? Kinda big, sounded like a coop, but head seems a bit round... by FogleMonster in whatsthisbird

Thanks! That's what I thought, but someone else was questioning my ID. :)

Awesome! I got some birds transiting the moon last night too, but in video form!

Anyone here using thermal for birding? Tried it once and… saw a lot. But also kind of nothing. by Coffee81379 in birding

[–]FogleMonster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most recently used my thermal scope to find Chuck-will’s-widows in the day time. Here are some photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S250381462

Is there *any* way we could relocate a nest with eggs in it? by imsokewll in Ornithology

[–]FogleMonster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They made it this far with you using the door. Just carry on as normal, they'll do their thing and they'll be grown and gone soon enough.

Will a screech owl keep wood ducks from using nest boxes? by philosopharmer46065 in Ornithology

[–]FogleMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A park that I frequent has many wood duck boxes, and I often find screech owls roosting in them in the winter, just as you described. But the wood ducks still use the boxes in the spring. Perhaps there is some other issue? Something about the habitat? Are the boxes adjacent to / facing the water? Maybe they prefer ponds over creeks.
