Jen wanted to look at some bluetooth speakers tonight so we went over to Target to test drive a few. I did not see a camera section in the electronics section. I didn’t look that hard though.
I liked the Bose stuff, but I always like Bose stuff.
No, I didn’t eat lunch outside today. I ate at my desk like I always do. I did step out for a minute to take out the trash, including a bag full of cat litter that burst while I was putting it into the barrel. Gross, bro. Gross.
I used the outdoor opportunity to take a couple of point and shoot pics. I wanted to try another quick exposure compensation comparison. Here goes.
No exposure compensation…
Exposure compensation set at -1…
I think I like the second one better, but I might back it off a smidge. I can set it at -.3 and -.7. I’ll try one of those settings rather than -1. Fascinating, I know.
Oh, and did I mention birds?
I should sneak outside again and try to take some birds in black and white. Cool, babie.
Jen said they were good. I haven’t gotten to them yet. I eat really slow now.
I spent my lunch in an old Mill Building in Chelmsford, MA today. It’s a cool place.
Once upon a time I considered trying to rent a rehearsal space for a band in the basement of that building. We ended up at a place in Billerica instead and one night the Concord River flooded and my old Fender solid state amp was never the same again. This place is really cool looking though.
I’ve been checking the Japanese Peace Lilly in the bedroom every day, searching for signs of new flowers. Today that search paid off!
I had the little point and shoot in the room so I used it for that picture (with the flash). After two posts last night, can you guess what’s coming? Oh yeah, DSLR (no flash) Vivid vs Monochrome comparisons! WOOHOO!
I then got carried away and took a couple more…
I didn’t edit these in Apple Photos at all. I usually just use the auto setting as a tiny little tweak, but I left these alone.
One final pre-work-morning note. Two days ago I ran for a minute at the end of my 30 minute walkies. Yesterday I ran for two minutes. You might expect that I ran for three minutes today but no… I ran for five.
Who am I?
Patches isn’t 100% black, hence her name, but she still qualifies as a black cat in my eyes.
Happy National Black Cat Appreciation Day, Patches!
I took this picture at the start of my lunch break, a few minutes after 1:00pm, on Wednesday August 17, 2022:
August… not September or October. It’s still summer and this prick of a tree (along with one additional tree in the back yard) is already turning.
Screw that. It’s summer, stop turning! Fall foliage happens in the fall, or didn’t you get the message, asshole.
Lunch time photo distractions. Like ya do.
I used the flash to get this. Can you tell? This plant has been alive, sitting by this window for three months or so. I am kinda shocked.
I used the flash on this one too. I never use the flash, but I used it today. Why? I don’t know. This plant has one very healthy looking leaf, and a bunch that look like they are dying from the edges in. Sad plant is sad.
Cellar plants. I want them to live forever, but I don’t think I have the ability to make that happen. Come on, plants. Thrive!
