we're in Seattle. and .... it's raining. for a change. :)
another Leica x1 shot. manual focusing.
ISO 1600. it's awesome having this quality available in such a small camera. but there's still noise out there fore sure. gave it a try with a noise reduc in cs5, and a pass of smart sharpen.
i miss DPP!!! can't use my presets. i have to rebuilt a database of presets for every situation, but for now ACR+CS5 isn't really doing the trick.
i have been slow at commenting streams this week.
will give a big boost tomorrow.
This was such a pretty sunset, and the snow on the ground & the roof tops gives it a cool view.

Sammamish, WA
Back to BW for this one, and maybe the others. i still don't know. at least less colors than the landscape series, that's a sure fact. :)
i still haven't truly used my x10 in the field. a conjunction of circumstances prevented me from doing so. but i would really like to be out there and shoot.
It's all snowy outside. snow came late.
better late than never.

Sifton Bog ESA, London ON 17 Jul 2021
Sifton Bog is a forested kettle-hole wetland, created by a block of ice left stranded by the retreating glackers 12,000 years ago. The hollow became a small lake which is gradually filling in with wetland vegetation. Redmond's Pond is the name of the remaining open water.

... I decided to take a short break from the ongoing saga of Sherry Strain and did some research on Sir Redmond Barry. Here's what Wikipedia has to say:
Early life:
Barry was the son of Major-General Henry Green Barry, of Ballyclough, County Cork and his wife Phoebe. Barry was educated at a military school in Kent, and at Trinity College, Dublin, and was called to the Irish bar in 1838.
Life and work in Australia:
Barry emigrated to Australia, and after a short stay at Sydney went to Melbourne in 1839, a city with which he was ever afterwards closely identified. After practicing his profession for some years, he became commissioner of the Court of Requests, and after the creation in 1851 of the colony of Victoria, out of the Port Phillip district of New South Wales, was the first Solicitor-General, with a seat in the Legislative Council and a member of the Executive Council. In 1852 he was appointed judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria. He also served as acting Chief Justice and Administrator of the government.
Barry was noted for his service to the community, and convinced the state government to spend money on public works, particularly education. He was instrumental in the foundation of the Royal Melbourne Hospital (1848), the University of Melbourne (1853), and the State Library of Victoria (1854). He served as the first chancellor of the university until his death, and was president of the trustees of the State Library.
Barry was the judge for the Eureka Stockade treason trials in the Supreme Court in 1855. The thirteen miners were all acquitted.
He represented Victoria at the London International Exhibition of 1862 and at the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876. He was made a knight bachelor in 1860, and was created a Knight of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in 1877.
Kelly cases:
In October 1878, at Beechworth court, Barry presided in a case against a Mrs Ellen Kelly (King) and two others, men, in aiding and abetting the shooting of a police officer called Fitzpatrick. In sentencing Mrs Kelly to three years with hard labour, Barry said, 'if your son Ned were here I would make an example of him for the whole of Australia - I would give him fifteen years'. That Ned Kelly was not charged before that court, yet deemed guilty without a trial, that his mother was sentenced to hard labour on the false and unsubstantiated evidence of the drunkard Fitzpatrick, was beginning of the Kelly Outbreak (1878-1880). By the time it was over, wrote Kenneally, Barry's 'unlawful, unjust and maliciously threatened sentence of fifteen years on Ned Kelly...was responsible for the deaths of ten persons.(p.188) In 1880 he presided at the final trial of Ned Kelly. Here was a confrontation between Barry of the Irish Protestant ascendancy and Kelly, the Irish Catholic bush larrikin. The trial and the exchanges between Kelly and Barry were the subject of many articles and books by lawyers and historians. When he sentenced Kelly to death by hanging, Barry uttered the customary words "May God have mercy on your soul". Kelly is reported to have replied "I will go a little further than that, and say I will see you there when I go". On 23 November 1880, twelve days after Kelly's execution, Sir Redmond Barry died from what J.J. Kenneally termed 'congestion of the lungs and a carbuncle in the neck'.
Memorials:
The State Library of Victoria has named a reading room after Sir Redmond Barry, who was the first Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Melbourne Public Library. The University of Melbourne of which he was the first chancellor has a Redmond Barry building named for him.

Two photos in a single day. a pretty rare event for me. :)
but i processed these two at the same time so...
downtown Redmond yesterday night.
leica x1
more thoughts on the leica x1:
- first of. i dropped it. three scratches in total. i feel stupid. the thing is, this camera is so light, that when i removed a scarf around my neck, i forgot i had it. it fell on concrete. it's infuriating when you alter such a nice piece of equipment. the scratches are not huge, but they appear huge in my mind, when i think about it. anyway ... it's now totally mine right? with MY scratches, MY signature. (it helps me feel better saying this!).
- i wouldn't want to make people think it's the perfect camera. it isn't. it's a fabulously beautiful piece of equipment, but everything that has been said in reviews is true. upper buttons tend to move around losely. it forces you to check if you're in the right mode. i shoot mostly aperture so the aperture knob is on 2.8 most of the time, and the shutter knob is on A.
- i decided to buy an x1 because i just couldn't wait until march or whatever for the release of the fujifilm x100. it looks like a promising camera, but i doubt it will beat the x1 in terms of image quality. still, if it's THAT good, i'll end up buying another camera!
- when i'm shooting with the x1, i carry it around my neck most of the time. it's so light your barely feel the weight. i can even close my jacket above the camera when it's raining. for now, i also shoot without the viewfinder. if i find i'm starting to miss it, i'll go buy it, despite the ridiculous price tag. i often shoot without even looking at the screen. i shoot AF as the leica x1 isn't really done for manual focus anyway.
more thoughts as they come.
