Lousy Afternoon/Not a Bad Morning … Click to see a larger version. Lousy Afternoon/Not a Bad Morning … Friday afternoon was pretty bad but I made some magic by knowing where to be when and knowing how to create blasting highlights silhouettes on a bad wind. IPT veteran Winn Krafton joined me […] Stuff On Friday afternoon I will drive to Brandon to get my almost brand new i-Phone 8+ replaced. I somehow managed to drop it out of my car at 35 mph last week 🙂 I did purchase the Apple Care insurance. Then I continue on to Fort DeSoto for another busman’s holiday, in hopes of […] Stuff Thursday was another mile in the pool and lots of exercise. My plan is to share some of the images that I received as part of the The First-Ever RAW File/Image Optimization Challenge with you here on Saturday. Along with my version. And on Sunday to will chime in on the recent Black Skimmer […] Stuff With lots of phone and e-mail help from Michael Tapes over the past few days I finally put the finishing touches on the LensAlign/FocusTune Micro-Adjusting Tutorial e-Guide late on Wednesday. Jim got it into the BIRDS AS ART Online Store after dinner. Learn more below. I was glad to learn that Dave Williams […] Brown Pelican, Landing Juvenile. 5D Mark IV Cropped Image Quality. And a 19-step Image Optimization.Stuff On Monday, before, during, and after our travels, I worked extensively on finishing up the LensAlign/Micro-adjusting e-Guide. I still have a few things to clear up on Tuesday with Michael Tapes and hope to have the guide published by tomorrow, or by Thursday at the latest. No swimming and no exercising till Tuesday. The […] Really Important Stuff, All Unsolicited Via e-mail from Jim Miller I can’t stop thinking about how much fun the DeSoto Fall IPT was, and how much I learned. There were so many things that suddenly made perfect sense after I had been confused for so long. Thank you very much for the wonderful trip, and […] Stuff I did enjoy a morning swim on Saturday and then made it over to DeSoto for the afternoon. I searched for the mystery heron/egret but did not find it. With a strong east wind and mostly clear skies, conditions were tough for bird photography; can you say “wind against sun?” But I really do […] Stuff It was 8:12am on Saturday morning as I put the finishing touches on this blog post. I am toying with the idea of heading over to Fort DeSoto this afternoon to look for the mystery heron/egret. I would stay over on Saturday night. I will need to swim early today and start driving at […] Stuff I finished watching both Thursday games on Tivo on Friday the morning. The Cubs beat the still hapless Nats in a crazy game in which an umpiring error led directly to several Cubs runs and the loss of the game. The Panthers had many chances to beat the Eagles but simply did not come […] Stuff I started off Thursday watching the Yankees complete their amazing comeback on Tivo. The plan for Thursday night is to Tivo both the MLB playoff game — the Cubs v.s the Nats, and the NFL Thursday Night game — Philly vs. Carolina, and then watch first one then the other toggling back and forth. […] Stuff Wednesday was a lazy day. I finished the second edit of my recent Fort DeSoto Fall IPT images, watched some MLB games on the tube, and enjoyed two easy swims totaling one mile. With only a single slot open on the San Diego IPT, I decided to add a second San Diego IPT […] Stuff On Tuesday I had a lunch appointment at noon with my tax guy in Lakeland. Before and after that it was back to business as usual: answering e-mails and doing blog posts. And a swim and lots of exercise. I was glad to learn that the sale of Stephen November’s Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L […] Stuff Sunday was a lazy day of rest and NFL football on the tube. On Monday it was back to business as usual: work, work, and more work, answering e-mails and doing blog posts. And a swim and lots of exercise. With only a single slot open on the San Diego IPT I decided […] Stuff I am home safely. My flight from Islip to Orlando was the proverbial piece of cake. Beautiful — the Carole King Musical Sunday was a day to remember. The show was fabulous. The music, the story, the humor, the staging, all wonderful. Before She Was Carole King, Superstar-She Was Carol Klein, Teenage […] Stuff I finished and scheduled this blog post on Saturday morning. Younger daughter Alissa, her husband Ajiniyas, and I left at 10:30 for the drive into Manhattan to see Beautiful, the Carole King musical on Broadway. Fourth row center 🙂 I take the 6:20am non-stop from Islip to Orlando on Sunday morning. The […] Stuff On Friday I visited younger sister Arna again, this time with my younger daughter Alissa. Lissy and I ran some errands; I picked up some protein bars for lunch. As is usual I do not eat too well when I am traveling … I had a great dinner with Lissy, her two autistic boys […] Stuff Thursday was a day of rest, hanging around, and watching Law and Order reruns and the MLB playoffs on the tube. I did get lots of work done and scheduled a few more appointments in Florida for after I get home. The Streak Today makes seventy-two days in a row with a new […] Stuff On Wednesday I woke early and left Ronkonkoma at 5:15am. The navigation system on my phone indicated that I would arrive at Jamaica Bay at 6:21am. Traffic was horrific and I eventually made it at 7:15 am. Isaac Grant who lives in Staten Island arrived a bit after I did but good friend Tom […] Stuff I have an appointment with my financial guy in Lake Success this afternoon and will likely drop into the East Pond this afternoon. It has been a while. The Streak Today makes seventy days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took about two hours to prepare (including the […] Stuff Many of you might remember Roseanne Roseannadanna, one of several recurring characters created by the late Gilda Radner, who appeared on Weekend Update in the early seasons of Saturday Night Live. My favorite line of hers was and is, “It’s always something.” Well, my shoulder has been doing great and my left knee has […] |
