The drive home was long and exhausting. I stopped at St. Augustine Alligator Farm on the way home. I got to ILE at about 2pm and tried to nap. By this point, I was feeling really lousy and realized that I had a fever. Suspecting that I had contracted COVID, I began the alternative protocol for early treatment. I took a home antigen test that was positive. So yes, I have COVID. I am feeling much better today, the fever is gone, and my pulse ox this morning has ranged from 94-98. <\/p>\n
Today is Thursday 14 April 2022. I will be resting most of the day, picking my keepers from several day folders, and catching up on laundry. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope that you too have a great day. This blog post took about 30 minutes to prepare and makes thirty-four days in a row with a new one.<\/p>\n

I used the no-longer available Induro GIT304L Stealth Carbon Fiber Tripod\/Levered-Clamp FlexShooter Pro<\/a>-mounted-Sony FE 600mm f\/4 GM OSS lens<\/a>, the Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter<\/a>, and The One, the Sony Alpha 1 Mirrorless Digital Camera<\/a>). Multi-metering +1.7 stops set AUTO ISO to ISO 1600: 1\/2500 sec. at f\/8 (wide open) in Shutter Priority Mode. The raw file brightness was one full stop too dark when evaluated in RawDigger<\/a>. AWB at 7:37:22pm on a clear afternoon. <\/p>\n Tracking: Zone with Bird Face\/Eye detection enabled performed to perfection. Be sure to click on the image to enjoy a high-res version. <\/p>\n |
