New Film Scans!

Blue Sky
I am convinced that the sky is aware of what day of the week it is such that it will only ever be blue on weekdays, and will never ever be blue on weekends.
Today’s Photo a Day
Nothing special today. I had to crank one out before dawn this morning because I knew it would be harder to get this done due to having to go into the office.
Here’s a bonus that I put a black and white filter on for some unknowable reason.
Neighbors
Exhausted Cats
The cats are exhausted from a long day of sleeping and doing nothing. I’m exhausted too. I fell asleep watching an episode of Doctor Who. I woke up as it was ending, restarted from the beginning and fell asleep again. Ugh, doofus.
I am still hoping to do another photo walk in the morning but I really don’t know if I will have the energy. I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow and I should probably sleep in, but the weather is going to be good for shootin’ pitchers so I am torn on what to do.
What do you think the cats would do if they found themselves in my position?
Sleep.
Alliance Park in Amesbury, MA
On the way back from the ocean this morning I stopped at a little park in Amesbury that I found by accident on a similar sunrise photo journey about a year ago. Again, I don’t like any of these. I feel sad. I did take some film shots though so maybe those will make me happy when I get the roll developed at some point in the next 100 years or so.
This is the Merrimack River.
This little river that dumps into the Merrimack is called the Powwow River, according to Google Maps.
In closing, the little church across the street is nice too.
Sunrise
I made it to Salisbury Beach this morning. I took a bunch of pics and I don’t like any of them. I had the ISO set way too high because I set it high when I’m at home and I always forget to lower it when I go outside. It ruined all of my long exposures. Blah.
I think I prefer the 40mm lens to the 28mm lens for the sun itself, but the 28mm is better for the beach as a whole. That makes sense, right?
I had the ND filter on for a lot of these. Not sure which pic is the first one after I took it off.
From here on the ISO is set to 100 instead of 1600.
Today’s Photo a Day
Hello and welcome to another addition of today’s photo a day. I don’t do these every day, but I do them now and then because I want to and it’s my page and I do what I want.
There is a “where’s waldo” element to this photo. Somewhere in there is a squirrel giving me the stink eye. Do you see the little furry bastard?
Back Home
We’re back home. We were out for about five hours. The trip was a bit of a bust from the leaf peeping and photo taking point of view. From the perspective of Jen and me jumping in the car and road trippin’ for the hell of it, it was a total success.
We didn’t stop anywhere. As soon as we got North of Concord, NH the clouds moved in and everything looked gloomy and bad. We dipped our toes into the White Mountain region and then turned around and took the long way home.
I took exactly one photograph:
Leaf Peeping
The weather forecast was kinda crummy today but the reality isn’t too terrible. Jen and I are going to give leaf peeping a shot. That will let us go out in the world while still being paranoid about spreading any last vestiges of the Covid… even though that is literally not a thing.
I have my Nikons in the camera bag. The Z5 mirrorless with the new 28mm lens, and the FG-20 film camera with the 35-70mm zoom. I even turned on the SnapBridge app connection so that I can possibly post Z5 shots to the blog while we’re out. There was only one shot on the memory card and it crossed to my phone and it’s Robin, of course.
Lets see how it goes today. Fingers crossed for some cool views and decent shots.
