The Streak Continues: 280<\/h3>\n

This blog was published at about 6:15am from my home in Indian Lake Estates, FL after another good night’s sleep. I enjoyed a nice swim again yesterday and a rather lazy day. Though both the left shoulder and right knee are feeling pretty darned good this morning, only time will reveal the effects of the recent stem cell\/PRP\/Prolozine injections. Healing takes time. This post, which took me about 2 1\/2 hours to prepare, makes 280 in a row. 365 is well within sight…. <\/p>\n

ISO 400. Evaluative metering -1\/3 stop as framed: 1\/1250 sec. at f\/11 in Manual mode. With brilliant WHITEs in full sun you will never be far off the right exposure at 1\/2500 sec. at f\/8 or, as here, an equivalent exposure. <\/p>\n
