Yes, duct fixed upstairs cooling is better this afternoon

Above shot was processed in LR, but I used the trial version of C1 to take the shot. I actually liked the RAW processing better in C1, but still trying to get used to the interface.

24 days left on the trial. Jury still out

George



Well, you did a good job in post. I'm hooked on C1.

Well, finally went somewhere other that house or work. Nothing fancy, just the new normal.
In California this works, not so sure if it was Phoenix.

Ok, you may be getting me to bite on C1. The Luma Range layering is pretty good. Same shot as I posted before, but this one edited and quickly edited in C1. I think I like this one better. I could not control the background in LR as easily as I was able to in C1

And just noticed C1 captured more detailed lens info in the EXIF data as shown below the picture.

The Luma Range tool is reason enough to change. IMHO.

Some really nice shots recently. I love all the comet shots.

George, love that cloudy shot. Too bad you missed out on the comet.

Ken, I love that cave shot. Really cool light.

Rafael, that 80-200/2.8 ED got me drooling. Looks like a beautiful minty ex. Seem to work really good too.

Serge, love the views you caught with the 105!

The end of one adventure doesn´t mean you can´t go on another one It´s been a really busy vacay, with lot´s of fishing, hiking and camping. Got a couple more days off, next week will be back to "normal life"

These are from thursday-saturday camp out. We found a small island to set up camp. What a feeling it is to be hammocking just a few feets from the water.
Here´s the camp shot with 50/1.4 ais.

We had some rain the first day. The tarp worked well...Same lens

Just a couple of impressions from the forest inland..

Then a night shot. Didn´t catch the comet the way I wanted. Too much available light during night still, plus when I thought I was gonna catch it I pointed the camera in the wrong direction. However, I accidentally got it in this shot, you can see it in the upper left corner very faint. Nikon 28mm f/2.8 ais.

Stay safe and take care all!

You may be right.

Love the site you found to camp, hope the bugs weren't bad.

Yes, we´ve visited the island before but never really thought it was suitable for camp, good thing with hammocks, you just need a few trees. It was not too bad actually. A few ant bites, some mosquitos, that was pretty much it. Could´ve been a lot worse...

Just lurking of late, but I wanted to chime in on some shots.

Re: Leighton's Masked indivdual - did you get any story for the mask?

Enjoying the comet series. I especially enjoyed Scott's with the meteor shower thrown in there for good measure. Excellent choice of foreground too, Scott, for being located where you are.

Kristian, love the camping series. Perhaps I should just take off and camp!

Ray, no, in fact, he didn't say much at all. He wasn't a regular to the market.

British Butterflies brought to you using the 180/2.8 and PK-12 combo.
Started out with the 55 micro but the working distance was too close and the butterflies flew off immediately.

A Peacock, or two

Howdy! As Leighton knows because we've had an email exchange on the subject... I've been scrambling for a few days to log in to FM... without success. I've been using Google Chrome as my browser for quite some time without a problem... though it is not the best option when it comes to managing cookies. But I was always able to access FM until I couldn't. I'd visit the site, eventually noting the message below my username that I was "Online" when in fact I wasn't. I'd put in my username and password but it wouldn't accept the password. I went through the process numerous times to change my password but none of them got me into the website. This morning on a lark I tried accessing through Firefox and got in. I'm now using Safari and it got me in as well. I'm afraid it might be time to retire Chrome...

So I have some photos I planned on sharing a few days ago about a three mile hike I took in the nearby watershed. I'd injured my thigh some weeks ago and this was to be a test since the hike included a half mile pretty serious ascent. But the photos are really about an event that happened on these trails a few years ago. Let me set the scene, then I'll get into the story...

I have the 85 f/1.4 AI-s mounted, and leave Marin Stables about ten minutes from where I live. Here I'm on the narrow trail running along a creek. This trail is reserved for horses and hikers...


85.1.4.MarinStablesTrail.SEP by Curtis Grindahl, on Flickr

About a mile and a half in, after that strenuous climb, I come to a fire road beneath which is a large pipe carrying water from a treatment plant into central Marin.


85.1.4.ConcretePipeRoad.SEP by Curtis Grindahl, on Flickr

And now the fun begins... note how narrow this trail is... I'm heading back to the stables which is about 3/4 of a mile away.


85.1.4.HenryEthelMooreTrail.SEP by Curtis Grindahl, on Flickr

Now imagine this... a fellow driving a Toyota pickup breaks through a gate at the bottom of a fire road and drives up until it reaches the cutoff just below this trail I was hiking. He turned on the trail and drove down it... through what you see above and what you see below...


85.1.4.HorseStairs.SEP by Curtis Grindahl, on Flickr

These are stairs created to help horses get through this tight section of trail. The truck had to navigate its way down these stairs AFTER navigating the narrow trail above. AND down the trail below...


85.1.4.BackToStable.SEP by Curtis Grindahl, on Flickr

It is a bit hard to read, but in the middle of the trail, between the tree and hillside on the right is a large rock that I've always imaged would have busted open the oil pan... but it didn't.

The truck was found about a quarter mile from the Stables. The owner said it had been stolen the night before. As the stable hand put it... "Jose Cuervo must have been driving..."

Good to see you on the mend from your injury Curtis. I really like the black and white processing. Especially challenging photographing the woods with the sunshine breaking through and such a dynamic range.

Good to see you post again. I love Chrome, but sometimes, it can act up. I would switch to Safari or Firefox, but I'm still using a Chromebook for my couch laptop and I want to be able to be able to keep syncing with my Macbook. If I ever get another Mac or ipad for the couch, I may just switch.

Stay safe on those trails!
