The Streak Continues: 309<\/h3>\n

I have now received all of four DPP 4.0 RAW Conversion Guide manuscripts from the reviewers via e-mail and will began incorporating the suggestions yesterday. I will ship the revised ms off to Arash so that he can create the PDF as soon as my work is done. I enjoyed an easy 1\/2 mile swim yesterday and four great MLB playoff games. This blog post, the 309th in a row, took me exactly 1 hour, 54 minutes and 11.9 seconds to prepare, all of the work done on Sunday morning. It was published just before 7:00am from my home in Indian Lake Estates, FL.<\/p>\n

Right after publishing this blog post I stepped out onto the pool deck to barbecue my breakfast of chicken and Brussels sprouts and was shocked by how cold it was: 59 chilly degrees. I had heard that a front was coming through last night. The pool had already been down below 78 degrees. Yikes for today’s swim!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image was created at Fort DeSoto Park in 2009 with the hand held Canon EF 400mm f\/4 DO IS USM lens<\/a> and the (long ago) EOS-50D soon to be replaced by the Canon EOS 7D Mark II<\/a>. ISO 500. Evaluative metering -1\/3 stop: 1\/6400 sec. at f\/6.3 in Av mode. (Note: this is the equivalent of 1\/3 stop darker than my standard, oft-recommended sunny\/ISO 400 exposure for SUPER bright WHITEs: 1\/2500 sec. at f\/8)<\/p>\n

9-Point AI Servo shutter button AF. Talk about the old days!<\/p>\n
