I had to close the bottom of the tail a little differently than before, or else it would have ended up being too thick again. Fortunately, it went pretty much according to plan, and I'm much happier with the overall shape of the model now.

Previous: Decoding the raw files
The goal at this stage is to stretch the histogram as wide as possible across the the available dynamic range of the output image. For this picture, the value of 1.2 does it; I simply go ahead and type it into the Exposure Value box. Alternatively, I could slide the slider, but I am used enough to the EV numbers that I can just dial the approximate number right away, and then adjust it with a couple clicks on either side of the slider, if it is not right — that saves me mouse travel.
If you don't know right away how much to adjust the exposure value, move the slider to the right until the image becomes overxposed (the second line from the bottom, now showing 0.0% will show a non-zero number), and the bright spots on the image will start looking awful. Then step back until the number becomes zero again. Then, look at the histogram and if it has a sharp spike at the bright edge, step back some more. Too many pixels aggregating at the bright edge, even though not technically overexposed, will make the picture look bland. Keep moving away from the threshold of overexposure until the histogram tapers off smoothly, as the blue histogram does in the above image. That is not always possible, but a properly exposed image should allow you to do shape the histogram this way.
Did I tell you to enable the histogram view while taking the pictures? This is the reason why. This is how the histogram should have looked in the camera while the picture was taken, but I was almost facing the sun when I took it and could not see it too well. Another bit of advice following from this:
- have a piece of dark fabric to throw over your head when the ambient light is too bright
And something I came to take for granted:
- use the lens hood
This picture came out reasonably well in part because the camera had the lens hood on it. Without it, shooting at such a close angle to the sun would produce unsightly reflexes. I never take the hood off, by the way. It improves contrast in any light (if only a bit), and it protects the lens from bumping into things; I have never had to wipe my fingerprints from this lens because the hood eliminates the possibility of accidental contact.
The procedure for normalising the highlights I just described is likely to affect the darks. So, once satisfied with the highlights (in this case, in the sky), check the bottom of the range by pushing the Indicate button in the underexposed values row. What do we see here? It's looking pretty good. The only severely underexposed area is the shadow under the car, which is not important. That spot can be as dark as a black hole, for all I care. There is also an insignificant number of underexposed values elsewhere in the image — 0.7% including the shadow under the car; that's close to nothing, so whe can move on to the next stage.
The image still does not look right. The highlights in the sky are fine, but the mountain looks as if it was painted in ink. The darks are darker than they should be. That is because the standard gamma curve, which would work well with a picture shot in the daylight, is too shallow to reproduce the sunset lighting correctly.
On a very warm June afternoon, residents of Plainfield, a southwest suburb of Chicago, and surrounding locales joined together for a short march to celebrate Juneteenth and to raise their collective voice against what they perceived as racial injustice. The march began at Plainfield Central High School and tracked near the downtown area before gathering in Settlers Park next to the village hall. Once there, the remaining hour was spent in listening and reflection upon the words of people from the community, a religious leader, and local musicians. According to my best estimate, well over 300 people showed up, many with their families and young children.

Walking through Tomorrowland towards Fantasyland, early in the morning. Finally got the lens warmed up, composed, and fired. I quickly realized I hadn’t adjusted my manual focus. But the more I look at this image, the more I like it.
I made these reversible, adjustable headbands from my daughter. It makes me sad to watch her grow out of things I make for her, so I made these using hardware from a bra strap, so they can be adjusted. They'll grow with her!

We had to make some serious adjustments to the pedalboard for the pedals to move smoothly and to feather back up after being depressed. One important step was to put in spacers to make sure the pedals were perfectly straight.
Again, I failed to post anything after my July adjustment. It was too depressing. I'm SO tired of wearing braces. I actually stopped wearing my elastics during the day. Shocking, I know. I just totally lost motivation. I felt like the song End by The Cure - "I think I've reached that point where giving up and going on are both the same dead end to me." Granted, Robert Smith was talking about a relationship but I honestly feel like I'm in a relationship with these braces, an abusive one at that. And I want out.
Now that I've gotten all of that off my chest, let me tell you about yesterday's adjustment. But first I have to take you on a trip down memory lane. A long, long time ago, when I was a child, my cousin and I were playing around and I fell mouth first onto a very unforgiving marble floor. I lost a piece of one of my front teeth and a ton of self esteem. Eventually, I got the tooth fixed. I'm still working on the self esteem part. Fast forward about 20 years to this Sunday when the composite filling finally decided it was time to divorce my tooth. Bad timing as my NZ trip was only a couple of days away.
I had a 12pm ortho appointment. Although my dentist is a friend of mine, I called the office first to see if they could fit me in before using the "friend card." They were able to squeeze me in at 2pm. When I told the ortho about this, he said he'd leave the wire out while I went to the dentist. My friend did a great job !
Back at the ortho's office, he had the wire I've come to know so well ready for me. He added some more bends to it and said I could stop wearing the elastic that goes across my mouth. This is great news ! He also said that things were looking really good and that the braces might be able to come off this fall. WHAT ? I know, we've all heard these promises before and I'm skeptical at this point, but I couldn't help but fantasize about the possibility of having popcorn for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, this is not a finish line I can sprint to but this visit gave me some motivation to get back to being militant with my elastics which will undoubtably help speed things up.
Always on the lookout for vanity license plates.

Adjusting the Base
Maybe because we were out walking around for a couple of hours, Anna woke up Sunday morning with pretty bad back pain again. She was having trouble standing up from a seated position and couldn’t bend her back at all. Poor baby. Her relatively new Level Sleep bed has an adjustable base so I put in the Zero Gravity position to see if would provide some relief when she went to bed. It did help a little. But honestly the bed is just too firm. It has a full one year trial period so I contacted them Monday to see about returning it. They are sending a free mattress topper to see if that helps and if not, we can still return or exchange it. I’m impressed! I ended up keeping Anna home Monday and we got in to see Dr. Katie, Anna’s PT. She was able to work on Anna’s back to get the spasm to relax.
Today's adjustment (#18 for those keeping track) was downright
disappointing. Normally, the doctor and his helpers use orthodontic
jargon around me and my neurosis soars as I try to figure out what
they're trying to say in plain English. Today, the doctor was quite
obviously less than pleased with the latest panoramic xray and for
once I didn't have to know what he was saying to understand why. There
on the computer screen were my top outermost molars pointing in
opposite directions and not at all where they are supposed to be more
than two years into this ordeal. The "helper" kept flipping back and
forth between the current and previous xrays and mumbling "what
happened ?" So, out comes the top wire which can pass for a miniature
model of some scary roller coaster at this point though apparently not
scary enough since the ortho then added even more bends to it. He also
did something to a couple of brackets and added not one but two (TWO)
power chains over a few of the outside molars. It's painful and he
didn't even give me a "popcorn day" estimate. Color me frustrated. At
least I got one of the good "helpers." She was very nice and offered
some really nice words of encouragement, so at least there's that.
I was hoping for a de-bracing day before Geoffrey's birthday trip to
NZ in August, but with my next appointment scheduled at the end of
July, I have to admit that might be a lot unrealistic. Le sigh.
