I went out early this morning to run a bunch of errands. I took my camera with me, thinking I had a couple of spots on the route where I could take some pictures.
Before I left the house I took this picture of Robin Sparkles the cat with my iPhone…
Guess how many pictures I took with my Z5. Go on, guess.
Zero.
So the cat is once again my photo a day winner. Again.
They are finally coming to grips with the fact that they are too big to sit on top of the cat tree together. Of course they will eventually end up fighting over the top spot, but for now they are co-existing in harmony.
We did order a second cat tree but we are waiting until xmas is over and the xmas tree is gone before we put it together. How will that effect the balance of power? We will see.
Today’s photo a day submission. She looks like I feel.
Two new additions were made to the workspace in my step son’s room today.
First: Groovy wooden cup holder that clamps to the desk. I actually bought a pack of two but I can’t decide where to put the second one, so we’ve just got one of them for now…
The second thing… cat, lounging on the day bed. She didn’t stay for long, but she was definitely welcome.
We had to move the cat tree to a new location. Lily seems fine with it. Robin seems concerned.
Two potential photo a day pics. I decided to go with the first one, but they are both well and good.
Two cats on my seat. I had to kick them both out.
I have a new workspace for telecommuting. I had a desk in the cellar that had a work computer section and a personal computer section. When I took my photo a day pic at lunch time or whatever, I could plug my Nikon Z5 into my personal computer, a MacBook Pro, and pull the RAW file into Apple Photos, convert it to a PNG, and then upload it to Flickr.
On the new desk, I don’t have the Mac next to me. It’s just Windows. That means I don’t have a way to convert from RAW to something else. I suppose I could find an app to do it, but I don’t want to install anything on my work laptop. Instead, I changed my camera workflow a little. Instead of saving RAW files, I am not saving a RAW file and a JPEG. I’m also saving the two formats to separate memory cards. RAW goes to the card in slot one, and JPEG goes to the card in slot two. That means I can put the JPEG card into my USB card reader, and upload to Flickr directly from the card. That way I am not saving anything to my work computer, and I can still take care of my photo a day thing during the work day.
Here is proof that it works:
Success, babie!
Robin was behind me. She was trying to hide and didn’t realize that humans have the physical ability to turn around.
I took this one around lunch time today. It doesn’t have anything to do with the first picture but I am posting it because my cat is cuter than yours*.
*Okay, so maybe I can’t definitively say that my cat is cuter than yours, but I can absolutely say that at the very least my cat is equally as cute as yours, if not cuter.
Lily may disagree, but this is my chair.
