Day - Oh

Hot, humid, welcome to North Central Baja Jorja.

Ranch critters fed before it got too hot, and then we cleaned up a bit before setting out to run errands. We promised Houdini to be home in time to help fend off the Sky Grumblers who hunt him (thunder, eh), and we did accomplish this goal. Also done, feed bills zeroed out, supplies laid in, and a trip off teh Ranch for Herself. She does get to go places, really. Still, it feels pretty good to go together, even running errands.

Once home again, unloaded Sydney SubaruOutback, then Herself put together a trail-mix from ingredients purchased on the supply errand. Last batch we included M&M's and dehydrated banana chips. This time we didn't. It's all good, tastes great, and somewhat very less expensive than the commercial mixes. She picks out the Filberts and Cashews for me.

Houdini is now sacked out behind my chair, and there are rumbles of thunder about so I'm probably closing out shortly. However, as regards the Pic'o'Day?

I lied. One more, NWS )

Maybe tomorrow I'll post something from the Summer Fae session, since those participants now possess their proofs DVD's and thus saw the pieces before y'all do.

Still NWS, Still Underwater )

Though I expect this may cap the theme for me, since it's also finishing the week (as it were).

As of today, all proofs disks delivered to all recent participants in a photo session. Yea. Met Techno and handed off Doozer's disk, as well as some fun discussion (because hey, we met in a cafe in a bookstore, eh?) about fantasy and science fiction genre pieces. Thanks for a great chat, Techno! Oh, and I remembered the other thing I was going to mention that I like about the Dresden universe... the laws (as we know them) of physics are fairly well honored. It takes energy to work magic, and the effects require energy from the environment... it isn't free at all.

Steak for dinnner. Later.

More Pool Experimentation. NWS )

Rather like this one on its own. Appreciating your comments on the series.

Yesterday was Stay Late. Stayed Late. Oof. Did get some chances to read today, but not logged in. So none of the filtered stuff. Almost time for dinner.

Not Work Safe... )

In general, my position is that one works to the limits of the equipment. This comes from my early teaching from my father, as does my tendency to compose/crop to full frame. To the latter, I am between two thoughts on cropping this one; not sure the light in the wall of the pool adds anything, nor am I certain it detracts. To the former, the optics are what they are, a disposable camera thus an inexpensive (probably plastic) lens, and 800 ISO film. Either film or digital, around 800 ISO speeds one begins to see grain or 'noise' in ones images.

For an experiment, to stretch a bit in a direction not previously followed, the equipment and timing proved satisfactory.
